There were two reasons why Lin Huang did not accept Nine Gloom's surrender.
Firstly, he had obtained two Nirvana Tree card pieces and a complete Nirvana Tree card by killing Nine Gloom three times. He felt that he would gain more from killing Nine Gloom.
Secondly, he could not be sure if Nine Gloom's surrender was a temporary compromise. Nine Gloom could compromise for the sake of his life and offer up the castellan's seal fragment. He could also turn his back on Lin Huang and the other two after they left and his safety was guaranteed, activating the entire inner world's power to hunt down the three of them.
To Lin Huang, letting Nine Gloom go was a risky choice.
Moreover, he was not someone who liked trouble. Therefore, he made the safer and simpler choice.
Nine Gloom died once again with a swing of his sword.
Nine Gloom cursed loudly when he was resurrected.
Lin Huang could not be bothered to waste his breath this time. He killed him with another swing of his sword.
A moment later, Nine Gloom was resurrected once more. This time, he finally realized that his life was completely in Lin Huang's hands. This time, he changed his attitude completely and begged bitterly.
"… We can talk about whatever you want. Why do you have to kill me? I've cultivated for millions of years to get to where I am today. Can't you just let me live …?"
He had no choice but to give in. He had used his substitute seven times now. Including his own life, he only had five lives left.
However, Lin Huang had no sympathy for Nine Gloom at all. He killed him once more expressionlessly.
Nine Gloom was resurrected once more and begged Virtuoso and Saber9 for mercy, trying to save himself in a roundabout way.
However, Virtuoso and Saber9 were not rookies. Naturally, they could not sympathize with him. Moreover, both of them had considered the possible risks of not killing Nine Gloom. The two of them remained silent throughout the entire process, watching without saying a word.
When Nine Gloom resurrected for the ninth time, he knew that begging was useless.
The instant his body consolidated, he controlled countless vines to surge toward Lin Huang.
Lin Huang thought Nine Gloom was going to fight back. However, he did not expect Nine Gloom to retreat rapidly the moment he attacked, fleeing into the distance.
"Haha …"
Lin Huang laughed coldly and swung his sword, destroying countless vines. A wisp of blood-red light shot out from his sleeve.
That blood-red light was as fast as lightning, and it was several times faster than the fleeing Nine Underworlds.
In the blink of an eye, it caught up to Nine Nether and penetrated his silver armor.
When the silver-armored Nine Nether's figure fell, the blood-red light had already retreated and shot back into Lin Huang's sleeve.
Although Virtuoso and Saber9 could not see the blood-red gleam's attack clearly, they knew that it was Lin Huang's telekinetic flying dagger the moment they saw the electric gleam shoot out of Lin Huang's cuff.
Obviously, Nine Nether did not know that Lin Huang had such a method.
After that, he revived for the tenth and eleventh time.
Nine Nether tried to attack, defend, and escape again, but was defeated by Lin Huang twice.
At this point, his eleven life substitution opportunities had been completely exhausted, and he only had one life left.
Without waiting for his physical body to completely take shape, Nine Nether quickly formed a shield again.
Layer after layer, the moment his physical body was completely formed, there were already more than 100 layers of the giant shield.
At the same time, a Dimensional Whirlpool swiftly formed behind him.
Clearly, he had failed to escape many times, so he planned to use Dimensional Teleportation to escape.
Lin Huang merely raised his brow slightly and swung his battle sword again, easily penetrating the layers of defensive giant shields. Nine Nether had just taken half a step into the Dimensional Whirlpool when his body was pierced through.
At this moment, a vine that resembled a small black snake suddenly shot out from the shadows beneath the silver-armored Nine Nether's feet. Nine Nether withdrew his aura as much as he could and headed toward the Dimensional Whirlpool.
Lin Huang scoffed coldly, and countless blood-red electric gleams shot out of his sleeve. The instant the small black 'snake' entered the Dimensional Whirlpool, the entire Dimensional Whirlpool was riddled with holes.
The small black snake was torn into several pieces as well.
A moment later, the Dimensional Whirlpool collapsed, and the small black 'snake's' body, which had been torn into several pieces, fell out. Gradually and rapidly, it reverted to Nine Nether's demonic face, which was covered in vines. In the last moment of his life, his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Lin Huang.
In this final round of battle, Nine Nether had chosen to abandon the silver-armored body that had fused perfectly with him after his reincarnation. Initially, he had wanted to use the silver-armored body to attract Lin Huang's attention and then secretly escape.
As long as he was far away from the battlefield, he could completely trap the three of them in his God Territory and use endless vines to attack them until Lin Huang's strengthening period was over. When that time came, it would be his chance to turn the tables.
However, he did not expect that his plan to escape would still be discovered by Lin Huang, and his life was reaped by the telekinetic flying dagger at the last moment.
In the end, the demonic face did not manage to leave behind any last words. The vines were quickly carbonized one by one, turning into ashes that filled the sky and dissipating …
The longest-living hero of his generation in the inner world had fallen just like that!
Lin Huang stood where he was. His eyes seemed to be focused on Nine Nether's gradually disintegrating body, but in reality, he was looking at the notification that had popped up in front of him.
"Congratulations, you have obtained a complete Monster Card, Silver-Armored Nine Nether (Supreme God-level)
"Monster Card: Silver-Armored Nine Nether
"Rarity: Supreme God-level
"Monster Name: Currently Unnamed
"Type of Monster: Special-type/Unknown Tribe
"Bloodline: Yellow Spring
"Combat Level: Ninth-rank Heavenly God (Ninth-rank Heavenly God-Level)
"Major: Control, Combat Cultivator …"
…
"Summon Authority: Activated
"Card Remarks: Trainable!
"Remarks: Extremely rare Life Amalgamation!"
Lin Huang had never expected that he would obtain a complete Monster Card after killing Nine Nether.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Lin Huang closed the page in front of him after a brief glance at the card's information. He turned to look at Virtuoso and Saber9.
"Has he really been completely killed this time?" Saber9 asked immediately.
He had been tormented by Nine Nether's resurrection ability to the point of being paranoid.
"Don't worry, he definitely won't be able to come back to life this time." Lin Huang was very certain.
After all, he had already obtained a complete Monster Card. Naturally, it was impossible for him to come back to life.
"Although Substitutes are heaven-defying, there are great limitations to their usage. Eleven Substitutes is probably his limit. "Virtuoso nodded in agreement. "Furthermore, we can tell from the many times he resurrected earlier that his Substitution technique can only resurrect him on the spot. He can't change the coordinates of his resurrection. He can't control the time between resurrections either … "
"The fact that he hasn't resurrected on the spot means that he's really dead," Saber9 answered before Virtuoso could finish speaking.
"Stop wasting time. Let's finish looting quickly and leave right away," Lin Huang urged as he lifted his head to look at the collapsing Nine Nether God Territory.
The shockwaves from the battle earlier must have attracted the attention of the other powerhouses in the inner world. As soon as it was confirmed that Nine Nether was dead, many of them might not be able to resist jumping out to get a share of the loot.
Given Lin Huang and the other two's current state, it would be very troublesome if they were caught up with them.
Virtuoso and Saber9 clearly realized this as well. Ignoring their own weakness, they quickly joined in the looting.
