There was a strange sound in the heaven and earth. The Netherworld energy in the surroundings suddenly increased by several times and strengthened the black barrier.
Boom boom boom boom …
The terrifying collision continued. However, Elder Hades' back, which had already been bent by the impact, slowly straightened once again. In the end, he did not retreat.
Wang Zhong seemed to still be attacking, but his power and aura were not as great as before. However, he was at the end of his rope. The astonishment on Elder Hades's face had disappeared and was replaced by a thick murderous intent. He had almost been tricked by a mere Void Core. Even though he had almost succeeded, he still felt that he had lost face.
"Little fellow, three moves have passed." A low voice sounded from Elder Hades. "Your time of death has come!"
He raised his black, withered claw slightly, and a massive Netherworld Ghost Hand swept out. As if it was breaking dry weeds, it instantly shattered all the remaining sword lights!
However, when the sword lights that filled the sky disappeared, he lost his target, who should have been waiting for death in despair.
Zeng!
A golden figure had already frantically swept into the distance.
Lao Wang had experienced many battles and never thought that Wang Zhong would keep his promise. After all, this was the underground world.
Wang Zhong did not hesitate at all. When he sensed that the sword lights were powerless, he had already fled. At that moment, he was dozens of kilometers away. If he had a dozen more seconds, he might have been able to escape the range of Elder Hades' divine sense. With Wang Zhong's concealment abilities, he might have been able to escape this calamity. However, Sword Three, which had lost the support of his spiritual power, could only last for a short time. In the blink of an eye, the remaining power of Sword Three was destroyed, and the divine sense that could not be shaken off had locked onto Wang Zhong.
"Can you escape?!" Elder Hades's voice sounded in the distance. However, when he finished speaking, his voice was already dozens of meters behind him! In the blink of an eye, a massive Netherworld Ghost Hand descended from the sky. It carried a fatal Netherworld aura and a thick stench of blood. Furthermore, it turned its hand into a claw, as if it wanted to capture Wang Zhong alive.
It was too fast! Lao Wang had already used his dragon breath true form and energy wings to escape with all his might. He had managed to open up a distance of dozens of kilometers, but he was still caught up in the blink of an eye.
Not only was there a difference in basic elements such as spirit power, physical body, and speed, but the will of the world would also give Golden Core almighty cultivators a certain amount of respect. Around Golden Core almighty cultivators, some natural laws would automatically retreat, so Golden Core experts could already achieve a certain level of compliance. He didn't dare to say that he could determine the life and death of others with just a word, but if he wanted the wind to blow, he could do it. If he wanted gravity, spiritual pressure, and so on, he could do it with a single word. He didn't need to truly comprehend and control these Laws. Interfering with these simple Laws around him was just a matter of a single thought.
Pa!
In the blink of an eye, the five claws had already closed in! Wang Zhong couldn't feel the corporeal form of the Netherworld Ghosthand. Instead, he could only feel endless darkness and the stench of blood crazily surging towards him from all directions.
Rising Dragon!
Wang Zhong didn't have time to think about it. A dragon seal formed in his mind, mixing with the dragon aura that was already circulating in his body. Suddenly, the will of a rising dragon was born. His left fist turned into a ray of golden light and shot out, plunging into the huge ghost hand.
The Rising Dragon, who seemed invincible from the moment it appeared, was suppressed before it could even fully unleash its power.
Pa!
The five fingers of the Netherworld Ghosthand closed completely. However, closely after, it seemed as if it had been stung by a bee. It suddenly opened up, and a dim golden light that was mixed with black Netherworld aura fell from its palm and rapidly fell downwards. In the blink of an eye, there was a splash.
With a splash, the dim golden light fell directly into the Nether River, creating a ripple that was neither too big nor too small.
"Hiss!" Elder Hades furrowed his eyebrows slightly. The Netherworld Ghosthand's transformation was connected to his body. In that instant, he actually felt as if his entire palm had been stung violently. As a result, he couldn't help but open up his palm.
What a strange spiritual power! What a strange soul!
At his level, it was very difficult for ordinary power to harm him, let alone make him feel pain. The golden light that was released from the Earthling's body seemed to have a natural restraining effect on his Netherworld aura. Previously, he didn't feel it when he went all out against his opponent. After all, his opponent was only a Void Core. However, in the end, when everything was in his hands, he naturally relaxed at that moment. In addition, his opponent had used his last desperate attack. As a result, he was tricked and allowed the Earthling to 'escape'.
Elder Hades looked towards the Netherworld River and heard the sound of rapid water splashing. After the Earthling fell into the river, he no longer appeared.
"Lord Hades!" A few figures from the Blood Demon race hurriedly flew over from the distance.
"After being hit by my Netherworld Ghosthand and falling into the Netherworld River, he will be attacked by the Netherworld aura a second time. This child will definitely die. You can go back and report to me," said Elder Hades coldly.
The expressions of the few Blood Demons changed, and they looked at each other.
Although they understood Elder Hades's methods very well and had personally seen Wang Zhong fall into the Netherworld River with serious injuries, the words of the Patriarch still rang in their ears. If he was dead, they wanted to see his corpse. What was going on with him falling into the Netherworld River?
The few of them looked towards the Netherworld River. They had the intention to fish out the corpse, but with the strength of these Solid Cores, even if they stood beside the Netherworld River, they would need to rely on the Yin and Yang Pill to ensure that they would not be attacked and disturbed by the aura of the Netherworld River. How could they enter the Netherworld River to look for Wang Zhong? Even if this was a very ordinary section of the Netherworld River and was far less terrifying than the source of the Netherworld River, it was still not a domain that a few Solid Cores could enter.
A few Blood Demons could not help but turn their heads to look at Elder Hades. Elder Hades was the only one who had the ability to fish out the corpses here. However, looking at Elder Hades's gloomy expression at that moment, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood. Furthermore, he had reprimanded the few Blood Demons just now. How could the few Blood Demons dare to ask him to fish out the corpse?
They could only hope that … Wang Zhong was really dead. … He was definitely dead. He had been severely injured by a Gold Core and had fallen into the Netherworld River. This was called not even leaving a corpse behind.
Clatter … …
A small boat that was shrouded in fog stopped by the riverbank, and two young men walked down from the boat. One of them was bald, and he waved his hand slightly. The gray fog on the small boat in the river dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the small boat. It was a rectangular coffin. The bald man touched the edge of the coffin, and the gray fog turned into two straps on his shoulders. Reconstructing the Life and Death Coffin was not a difficult task for the Netherworld King.
Splash …
He lifted the entire coffin out of the Netherworld River and threw it on his back. A lot of Netherworld River water that would cause one's expression to change splashed onto his body, but the originally pitch-black Netherworld water instantly became pure white and transparent. It was as if the Netherworld aura that came into contact with his body was either purified or absorbed by his body the moment it came into contact with his body. The water turned into ordinary water droplets and flowed down, causing the ground to be wet.
"Grai." The bald man put away the coffin, turned around, and said, "Do you want to go and have a drink first? I heard that the beer in Black Gold Town is not bad. They also have that kind of Gugu Wine. It has bubbles and tastes very similar to Coke. "
Grai laughed. Mu Zi seemed to be in a good state. It had been a long time since he had seen such a relaxed expression on Mu Zi's face. He had even suggested drinking the 'cola' from Black Gold Town. At the very least, this proved that the current Mu Zi was the real Mu Zi.
"Okay, I'll take the opportunity to inspect it first," he replied. It was his idea to change the trading location to Black Gold Town. "It's best not to go to the Dragon's Head Shore again. In the future, we will have to change our trading location every two or three times."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Mu Zi smiled and said, "After the incident with the Three Major Factions, they probably won't dare to act rashly again."
"I'm just afraid that there will be people who don't understand …" Grai said, "If there is an ambush at the Dragon's Head Shore again, although we are not afraid, it will still be troublesome."
Mu Zi smiled. He knew what Grai was worried about. At the end of the day, the two of them were just insignificant Void Cores. Although they had improved rapidly, it was impossible for them to truly contend against the Three Major Factions without borrowing the power of the Netherworld King. However, every time he borrowed the power of the Netherworld King, his control over his own body would become weaker, and the erosion of the Netherworld King's will would become more serious. This was not just troublesome, but fatal!
The last time he had used the power of the Netherworld King to kill Elder Musin, it had only taken him a few seconds. However, after that, he had spent a total of two months resisting the invasion of the Netherworld King's will. Every day, he would be in a daze and talk to himself. After that, even in the most dangerous places in the depths of the Netherworld River, Mu Zi did not use the power of the Netherworld King. He relied on himself, Grai, and the help of the Life and Death Coffin to break through … Thus, it was only in the past two days that he finally felt his will become slightly clearer. The Netherworld King's nagging in his mind had become much softer, and its influence on Mu Zi had also become much weaker. Now, he had a complete self and could even think of Black Gold Town's knockoff 'Cola'. This was something that he did not even dare to think about two months ago.
If he did not use the power of the Netherworld King and did not have any remnants of his aura in his body, the Netherworld King's will would become weak. Of course, it was impossible to get rid of it. Mu Zi could feel it. For example, he could hear the strange laughter in his mind. "Mu Zi, it is very painful to suppress your nature. You are the judge who controls life and death. How can the so-called Three Major Factions control you? As long as you completely open your heart, you will be able to obtain my power. Let alone the Three Major Factions, even those level-8 civilizations in the Land will be destroyed in the blink of an eye! Regardless of whether it is you, the Earth behind you, or the people you want to protect, you can all live happily. Why do you have to be so lowly and suffer so much? "
Mu Zi smiled slightly and did not reply. He had heard too many of the Netherworld King's speeches and could already recite them.
"You are ignoring me again. It is useless …" The Netherworld King continued, as if he was playing with Mu Zi and did not get tired of it. Ever since he had integrated into the world of living beings, he felt that his past days had been in vain. This was the value of his existence. If not, it was no different from being dead. Thus, he desired Mu Zi's body even more. "You want to resist and think that I am luring you, but I am only saying what is in your heart. Why do you want to resist? I am you, and you are me. We originally have the same soul and mission. Why do you have to live lowly and lowly? "
This time, Mu Zi did not even bother with the Netherworld King. He even felt secretly gratified. This voice only sounded in his mind, and Mu Zi could clearly feel that he was not speaking. This was much better than a month ago when his body was controlled and he was talking to himself.
He simply turned his head and smiled at Grai. "Yes, it is troublesome."
Both of them intentionally did not mention the Netherworld King, even though they knew that the so-called 'fear of trouble' was just an excuse.
"Disguise yourself." He casually patted the lid of the Life and Death Coffin, and a gray fog seeped out from the coffin. Two wisps of gray fog enveloped Grai and himself, causing him to look hazy. He was like a passerby that you saw from the corner of your eye every time you walked on the street. You couldn't see clearly or remember the other party's appearance, but you didn't care. The remaining wisp of fog enveloped the Life and Death Coffin, just like the small boat that they had transformed into. Not only did it make it easy for people to ignore the existence of the Life and Death Coffin, but it also had the effect of illusions. Even if someone took a closer look, it was as if they could only see a massive cloth bag on his shoulder. There was nothing strange about it.
However, the Netherworld King's voice sounded in his mind again. "Tsk tsk tsk. You have to change yourself in order to conceal yourself from ordinary people. Mu Zi, you have really lived a tough life. Even I cannot help but feel sorry for you."
"Let's go." Mu Zi turned a deaf ear to the Netherworld King. He simply smiled at Grai and said, "Black Gold Town. It's been a long time since I've tasted coke and beer. I hope that the boss of the Black Iron Bar will not mix it up this time."
However, this wish was destined to be in vain. Putting Black Gold Town aside, even in the entire underground world, almost all the food that could be bought and sold in most places was fake and expired food, except for some extremely high-end places. Even the so-called coquettish wine, which resembled coke, looked gray and turbid. Grai tasted it. The saccharin-like sweetness was mixed with a sour taste. Even in Black Gold Town, not many people could get used to drinking it. This was because it was difficult to swallow. Comparing it to the coke on Earth was a huge insult to coke.
However, Mu Zi enjoyed it very much. He squinted his eyes as if he was slowly savoring the aftertaste.
He knew that Mu Zi wasn't drinking 'fake cola', but a type of memory. Only he, who was by Mu Zi's side, understood exactly what kind of struggle Mu Zi was fighting against the so-called Netherworld King's will every day. The manifestation of a split personality was too terrifying, and the strange muttering to himself was only the weakest manifestation. There were also various kinds of self-mutilation struggles that were too numerous to enumerate. This was no longer a struggle and terror that was limited to life and death. There was still a chance for a person to reincarnate after death. In the Hyperdimension, one's soul could not be destroyed. However, if one was possessed by the Netherworld King, one would truly die and no longer exist … Grai felt that he would have already collapsed from this kind of torture and terror. Only Mu Zi was able to endure it.
He drank a mouthful of beer. It still tasted sour and rancid, but at least it was much better than the coquettish wine.
The Netherworld King's will … If it was Senior, perhaps he would have a way, right?
He could not help but think of Wang Zhong. For a moment, he was distracted. Over the past few days, Mu Zi was very tired, but Grai, who had to take care of him, was not much better.
"It seems to be that Earthling called Wang Zhong."
"That's not possible, right? I heard that he's a big shot from the Celestial Honors Class in the Land. Don't the Three Great Factions usually worship these big shots in the Land like gods? Would they dare to touch someone from the Heavenly Gates? "
"Shh! Keep your voice down. " The person who passed the news was shocked. "The people from the Ninth Shade Faction are still in town. If they hear this, our lives will be in danger!"
The tavern was noisy, and a discussion entered Grai and Mu Zi's ears.
They did not come to the tavern to rest and relax. They also wanted to investigate whether Black Gold Town was suitable to replace the Dragon's Head Shore. Thus, they paid special attention to the discussions in the tavern.
Most of the news they had heard was about how popular the Dragon's Head Shore had become after the battle with the Three Great Factions, and how envious Black Gold Town was. They also said that the conditions of Black Gold Town were better than the Dragon's Head Shore, and that it was not far away. They also said that it would have been great if the Netherworld King had come to Black Gold Town back then. All of this was within Grai and Mu Zi's predictions, and they felt that it was not bad. As they exchanged glances, they almost decided to move the trading point to Black Gold Town. However, they did not expect to suddenly hear Wang Zhong's name.
Someone said in disbelief, "You must be bragging. How could you possibly know such secret news? Furthermore, why didn't that big shot from the Celestial Honors Class enjoy life in the Land? Why did he come to the underground world? Why did he specially come to this troublesome place and get killed by the people from the Three Great Factions? "
Mu Zi's ears pricked up slightly. Grai also put down his wine glass and furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
The blabbermouth who passed the news was instantly unhappy. His face turned red as he said, "What did you say? Am I that kind of bragging person? Why can't the big shots from the Land come to the underground world? Maybe he came here to train. It's not like I haven't seen him before. As for the Ninth Shade Faction killing him, I saw it with my own eyes! "
"Where did you see it?"
"I, I …" That person spoke without thinking and immediately regretted it. The Ninth Shade Faction's secret activities had been exposed by him. Even if he kept his mouth shut, he might not be able to keep his life. Furthermore, he had made such a big fuss. At that moment, his face was flushed red, and he could not back down.
Someone beside him mocked, "If you can't say it, then you're just bragging."
"Heh heh, don't flatter yourself. What did the Ninth Shade Faction want to do? If you saw it, would you be able to survive? There's no limit to your bragging. "
"Bah!" That person was also flustered and said angrily, "I'm a miner at the riverbank! I was … "
Zeng!
He had just finished speaking when a green light suddenly flashed and broke through the air from afar!
At the same time, a gray light flashed in Mu Zi's eyes. The Life and Death Coffin opened slightly, and a wisp of gray fog instantly condensed in front of that person.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound as the green light and the gray fog collided. It was a green steel needle artifact, and a circle of sound waves spread out. They were locked in a stalemate for a moment, but not only was it unable to do anything to the gray fog, it was even enveloped by the gray fog.
