An Tianzuo and company turned around and traced An Sheng's gaze. Indeed, they saw Zhou Wen walking over from the desert with Ya 'er in his arms.
Beside him was a cheeky Li Xuan. On the other side was a white antelope and a flying golden eagle.
I finally made it in time. An Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhou Wen quickly walked over. Although he and An Tianzuo didn't like each other, they had the same stance when it came to saving Ouyang Lan.
"Why did you bring Ya 'er here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is? "An Tianzuo said with a frown when he saw Zhou Wen carrying Ya 'er over.
"She's safest by my side," Zhou Wen answered.
Their gazes met in the air. An Sheng had an illusion that there were sparks flashing where their gazes met.
"If anything happens to Ya 'er, I won't spare you easily. Let's go," An Tianzuo said coldly as he turned to walk towards Netherworld City.
Everyone followed An Tianzuo into Netherworld City's entrance. An Sheng waved his hand at Zhou Wen behind An Tianzuo, indicating for him to follow quickly.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan exchanged looks and walked towards Netherworld City together.
Although Zhou Wen had already been to Netherworld City once and had passed it countless times in-game, he was still a little nervous when he came here again.
City Lord Netherworld, who could toy with a dead person, had left a deep impression on him. Even though he now had the strength of a Terror-grade expert, he still found City Lord Netherworld extremely terrifying when he thought back to it.
The moment he entered Netherworld City's gate, his body seemed to transmigrate through space-time. When he took a solid step, he was already standing on Netherworld City's long street.
An Tianzuo and company were nearby. The antelope and chick stood on a stone slab each. There was a number on the stone slab under everyone's feet.
As no one had moved, all the numbers were 365. Even the antelope and chick were no exception.
Due to the taboo power of Netherworld City, no one could use Companion Beasts. They could only rely on the Essence Energy Arts and Essence Energy Skills they cultivated.
If there was a Guardian, they could also use the Guardian's powers. This was something that had been tested previously.
Most of the officers under An Tianzuo had advanced to the Mythical stage through Mythical Fluid. Only two officers had contracted Guardians and were wearing Guardian armor. One of them was An Jingyu.
"Ah Sheng," An Tianzuo said as he sized up the torture chamber beside him.
"Understood." An Sheng responded as a strange glow suffused his body. A halo spread out from his feet, forming a halo with a radius of about two meters with him as the center.
An Tianzuo and company walked towards the halo formed by An Sheng. When they were outside the halo, the numbers beneath their feet would change with every stone slab they passed. However, when they entered An Sheng's halo, the numbers beneath their feet didn't change at all.
Zhou Wen looked at An Sheng in surprise. This ability was clearly somewhat similar to his Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder. They were both abilities that could restrain taboo powers.
However, An Sheng's ability was regional. It was likely some kind of halo.
Seeing the surprise on Zhou Wen's face, An Sheng smiled and said, "This is my Wheel of Destiny ability. It can temporarily shield Netherworld City's taboo power. Young Master Wen, come over too."
Zhou Wen held Ya 'er's hand and walked over with Li Xuan and company. The chick and antelope also walked into the halo.
Within An Sheng's halo, not only would the numbers beneath their feet not change, but they also wouldn't trigger the punishment ghosts in Netherworld City. As long as they were within the halo, they could walk freely.
Everyone arrived in front of the first torture chamber. It hadn't opened yet. An Sheng looked at An Tianzuo before looking at Zhou Wen and said, "Time is limited. It's impossible for us to try the punishment twice. Who will bear the punishment here?"
"Naturally me," Lu Bushun said as he shifted his fat body.
"Let me do it," Li Xuan said.
"Division Commander Lu's body has unlimited regeneration. Let him do it," An Tianzuo said.
"It's best to let Li Xuan do it. The powers of these torture chambers are very special. Just regeneration alone might not be able to make it to the end." Zhou Wen had suffered quite a number of punishments, so he naturally knew how powerful they were. It wasn't something that could be done just by having a strong self-healing ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially sought Li Xuan.
"Young Master Wen, I know you are an extraordinary figure. My strength can't compare to yours, but in terms of self-healing, I'm afraid no one would dare to claim first place if I, Fatty Lu, claim to be second," Lu Bushun said with narrowed eyes.
"In that case, let's split up," Zhou Wen said as he looked at An Tianzuo.
An Sheng said, "Jing Yu can only accelerate time on one person. I'm afraid he won't be able to split his attention."
"Just do your own thing. Don't worry about us. We don't need to accelerate time," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"If we don't accelerate time, I'm afraid we won't make it in time, right? It's said to be twenty-four hours, but the torture chamber only opens once every hour. In fact, there are only twelve hours. It's impossible to withstand 239 punishments in twelve hours at normal speed, "An Sheng said.
"I have my ways." Zhou Wen didn't explain further.
"Let him be," An Tianzuo said indifferently.
When it was time, the torture chamber was indeed opened. Li Xuan and Lu Bushun walked towards the first torture chamber at the same time. The torture chamber had the words "Saw Punishment" written on it.
"You first." Li Xuan and Lu Bushun arrived at the door together. Seeing that Lu Bushun had no intention of making way, he made way to the side.
Lu Bushun didn't stand on ceremony and directly entered the torture chamber. There was a hacksaw in the torture chamber. As soon as he entered, his body was chained to a piece of wood. The hacksaw descended and his body was about to be sawed into two.
Lu Bushun's expression didn't change. The saw pulled back and forth, sawing open his stomach, revealing snow-white fat. However, after the saw went down, his flesh and blood automatically healed at an unbelievable speed.
The saw sawed back and forth from his body. It should have sawed his body into two, but after the saw passed, his body completely healed without any injuries.
What a powerful self-healing ability! Even Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised by Lu Bushun's self-healing ability.
After Lu Bushun came out, he gave Li Xuan a provocative look.
Li Xuan was amused as he greeted Lu Bushun in a friendly manner. "Your self-healing ability isn't bad."
"It's alright." Seeing that Li Xuan had said so, Lu Bushun didn't provoke him any further.
"There's not much time left. Continue." An Tianzuo didn't wish to waste a single second, so he got Lu Bushun to continue heading to the next torture chamber.
Li Xuan walked into the torture chamber and with a flash, he was also tied to a piece of wood. The hacksaw also fell.
Others could only see the hacksaw fly into the air, but Zhou Wen could tell that there was a white-robed ghost holding the hacksaw on each side of the hacksaw. They were pulling the hacksaw to saw Li Xuan's body.
