Chapter 4859

After finishing his words, Huo Zhao stepped forward, heading straight for Kai.

At that moment, Kai remained locked in his tribulation, enduring the relentless bombardment of terrifying lightning strikes.

“All monks of Sun Moon City, hear my command—protect Mr. Chen with your lives!”

“Do not let him get close!”

Lin Chong’s roar echoed across the battlefield.

Despite their exhaustion from the previous battle, the monks of Sun Moon City summoned every last ounce of strength they had left.

They knew they were no match for Huo Zhao—it was like an egg striking a boulder. But as Emperor Lin had given the order, they had no choice but to obey, even if it meant certain death.

Determined, they formed a human wall in front of Kai, prepared to sacrifice themselves to shield him.

“I’ll block his attack!”

Just then, a figure flashed forward—it was the Tenth Hall Master, unleashing his full power.

“Hmm? Someone from the Temple?”

Huo Zhao’s brows furrowed as he recognized him.

“Yes, I am the Tenth Hall Master of the Temple,” the man confirmed.

“If you belong to the Temple, then why are you protecting that boy, Kai?”

“Listen well—I am not only an elder of the Huo family but also the Lord of the Eighth Hall of the Temple. I order you to step aside immediately!”

Huo Zhao’s voice was cold and commanding.

Many members of the Huo family held high-ranking positions within the Temple, and he was one of them.

“You should leave while you still can,” the Tenth Hall Master warned.

“Mr. Chen is not someone you can handle. When the master behind him arrives, it will be too late for regrets!”

“You dare speak to me like that, you insignificant Tenth Hall Master? You must have a death wish!”

Huo Zhao’s expression darkened. Without hesitation, he struck with his palm.

The Tenth Hall Master clenched his teeth, refusing to back down. Instead, he gathered all his strength and countered with a powerful punch.

Boom!

The Tenth Hall Master’s punch was so powerful that the sky trembled, the earth split, and even the sun and moon seemed to dim. The force of his fist howled like a raging storm!

Yet, the moment his terrifying attack collided with the casual wave of Huo Zhao’s palm, it shattered instantly—vanishing without a trace!

At the same time, an overwhelming force surged toward the Tenth Hall Master.

His body was flung backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.

“Father!”

Yun Li rushed over in alarm.

“He’s… too strong… I can’t stop him…”

The Tenth Hall Master coughed up blood, his face filled with helplessness.

And this was when Huo Zhao wasn’t even using his true body. If he had, that single palm strike would have erased him completely.

Taoist Wuji and Lin Chong exchanged glances, their expressions grim. The sheer power of Huo Zhao’s casual strike left no doubt—this was an opponent beyond their reach.

Just then, Li Chunfeng and Nan Batian leapt forward.

“Brat, step aside now, and we might just let you live!”

Huo Zhao glanced at them, raising an eyebrow.

“Heavenly cultivators? You two are trapped in this realm?”

“Enough talk! We told you to leave—if you refuse, don’t blame us for what happens next!”

Nan Batian roared.

Huo Zhao smirked.

“So what if you’re heavenly cultivators? At best, you’ve got one-third of your strength left. Even if you fight together, you’re still no match for me.”

“I have no desire to make unnecessary enemies, so I’ll spare your lives this time. Now, get lost!”

His voice was cold and commanding.

“Screw you!”

Nan Batian roared and threw a punch!

Seeing this, Li Chunfeng swung his sword and charged forward. They couldn’t just stand by and watch Huo Zhao attack Kai!

The two launched their assault, and at the same time, Lin Chong and Taoist Wuji also rushed in.

There was no room for hesitation—no concerns about outnumbering the enemy.

Right now, it was four against one…
