"The winner is king, and the loser is nothing but a bandit."
King Yama held this sentence in high esteem and even regarded it as his motto for the rest of his life.
In the face of Tan Xiu's soaring arrogance, his killing intent skyrocketed even though he was a bit afraid. How many gambles could there be in life? He decided to take a gamble. Instead of fleeing back to the Nine Nether Underworld, he might as well fight to his heart's content. Even if all his subordinates were to die in the end, he was confident that he could keep his life.
He took out a pair of pitch-black boxing gloves and put them on his hands. A soft sword was then drawn from his waist. As the sword flashed, it eventually became as hard as iron, straight and sharp.
"Tan Xiu."
King Yama took a deep breath. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Let's meet on the 9th hidden island three days later. I really want to see how strong the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire is. "
"There's no time like the present." Tan Xiu chuckled and said, "Since you want to see my strength, why wait for three days? Why don't I break the remaining two formations, and then we can have some fun on the sea? "
"It's not convenient today," said King Yama coldly. "I need to adjust my strength to its peak state. If you choose to attack my Yama Island, I can only retreat with all my subordinates and fight my way back to this world in the future. This world, or rather, China, you can protect it now, but what about thousands of years later? Do you still have the ability to protect it? "
Thousands of years later?
Tan Xiu was shocked inwardly. He understood that King Yama's words made sense. He would leave Earth in two years and go to the Immortal World to fight. How could there be thousands of years later? If he really retreated, it would undoubtedly be like nurturing a tiger and inviting calamity, leaving a malignant tumor for humanity on Earth.
He weighed the pros and cons inwardly.
In the end, Tan Xiu nodded slowly and said, "Since you chose to meet me on the 9th hidden island three days later, then I'll promise you. But if I don't see you on the 9th hidden island three days later, don't blame me for using all my strength to kill you even if I have to chase you to the Nine Nether Underworld. "
A look of disdain flashed across Hades' eyes. How could it be so easy to enter the Nine Nether Yellow Springs? If it was a ghost cultivator, it would be fine. However, if it was a cultivator who cultivated other types of powers, once they entered the Nine Nether Springs, they would lose the supply of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. At that time, the amount of power they consumed would decrease a little. After entering the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, even an Immortal would not be able to kill him in an instant. As long as he was given a chance to escape, he would have a chance to turn the tables.
"It's a pity that there is no Death Qi of the Underworld on earth. Otherwise, I would be able to restore my strength to its peak. At that time, I would even be able to kill experts at the Crossing Calamity Stage."
King Yama felt some regret in his heart. Looking at Tan Xiu's departing figure, a helpless and bitter smile appeared on his bewitching face.
Blue sky, white clouds, thousands of miles of clear sky.
As Tan Xiu and Xue Yu walked side by side, a thoughtful look appeared on his handsome face. Anyone with a bit of brains would be able to realize that the King of Hell might have some unexpected means up his sleeves. However, Tan Xiu really had no way of guessing what that method was.
"Have you really made up your mind?"
Xue Yu's eyes flickered with extraordinary splendor as they kept lingering on Tan Xiu's face. Her voice was very pleasant to listen to, but there was also a bit of doubt in it.
"King Yama is right. If he immediately returns to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs with his subordinates and destroys the road leading to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs in this world, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to get rid of him again," said Tan Xiu. "If he comes out of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs again after we leave, I'm afraid he'll retaliate crazily. Therefore, anyone who has any connection with me will likely become the target of his revenge. I can even guess that this kind of revenge will be more terrifying than the 'Nine Clan Extermination'. "
"But he chose the time and the place," said Xue Yu. "What if he sets up a trap on the 9th hidden island in advance? Do we have to jump into it?"
"Well, the only thing we can do now is to deal with each move as it comes." Tan Xiu forced a smile. "Don't worry, I'll send Yan 'er to take charge when the time comes. Even if King Yama has any conspiracy, he won't harm a Golden Immortal."
"I think it's a good idea," said Xue Yu suddenly. "But Gu Yan 'er is bound by the Heavenly Dao rules of this world. Once she uses her power exceeding that of an Immortal, she'll be discovered by the Heavenly Dao of this world. If by any chance …"
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Then let Ji Chimei come here. I have a plan to let her return to the Immortal World first. A year in our world is only a hundred years in the Immortal World. Ji Chimei will go there two years in advance, so she'll only wait for 200 years in the Immortal World at most. Letting her go back ahead of time is also a vanguard for us. "
"Will Ji Chimei agree?" asked Xue Yu with a frown.
"She will," answered Tan Xiu.
Three days later.
Tan Xiu personally commanded the four major legions to occupy the southern part of the 9th hidden island, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Darkwind. Tan Xiu was well aware that today's battle would be his last on Earth. After this battle, he would be able to spend two years in peace and stability, and then head to the Immortal World when everything was ready.
Ji Chimei had arrived three days ago after receiving Tan Xiu's order. When Tan Xiu told her about his plan, she agreed without hesitation. In fact, she was well aware of the current situation in the Immortal World. If the Great Tang Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops were to encounter a mortal enemy as soon as they arrived in the Immortal World in the future, they would be in big trouble.
"They're here, Master."
Tang Ahlang stepped on a Frisbee and quickly appeared in front of Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many people are coming?"
"According to our observation, the vanguard should be about 5,000 people," said Tang Ahlang. "According to the intel, these 5,000 people should be the Darkwind's experts from all over the world who were summoned by King Yama. There are also about 2,000 people behind them. "
Tan Xiu narrowed his eyes and nodded. "If my guess is correct, this should be all the forces of the Darkwind. Have you found King Yama yet? "
"We haven't found him yet according to Black Snake's portrait." Tang Ahlang shook his head. "However, given his strength, it'll be difficult for us to find him if he wants to change his appearance and restrain his aura. That's right, Old Blind is here. She said she has something to tell you. "
Tan Xiu's expression shifted and he immediately ordered, "Bring her here."
Old Blind had been staying on Nine Dragons Island and only occasionally went to the pocket world to cultivate in seclusion. She almost didn't care about anything else. Now that she suddenly came here, it meant that she must have something important to tell him.
After a while.
Old Blind came to Tan Xiu and said, "There's something wrong with this battle, Your Majesty. I peeped into the Heavenly Secrets and saw rivers of blood and corpses everywhere. Also, I saw the monstrous ghosts here, just like hell. It's just that I can't see the outcome of this battle because of your existence, so I can only rely on what I can see to speculate that the next battle will be very bad. "
Tan Xiu frowned and turned to look to the north. With his eyesight, he could already see the Darkwind's vanguard getting closer and closer. However, Ji Chimei had already come here. With her being a powerhouse comparable to an Immortal, even if King Yama's power was monstrous, he wouldn't be able to stir up any waves, right?
"Old Blind, I've already received your warning. I won't take this battle lightly. Don't worry!" Tan Xiu was silent for a while before he nodded with a solemn expression.
"How about I deal with the 5,000 vanguard soldiers?" Old Blind nodded. "I've been cultivating in seclusion all these years and have broken through to the Celestial Master Stage. I'm only a step away from the Divine Master Stage. I want to see what level my strength has reached now. "
Tan Xiu thought for a while and nodded. "Since you're willing to take action, then let's exercise our muscles and bones! You'll have the chance to fight when we get to the Immortal World. "
Old Blind let out a faint smile and her figure instantly flew to the north of the 9th hidden island. In nearly the blink of an eye, she had already appeared in front of the 5,000 Darkwind experts. She chanted an incantation that was filled with the vicissitudes of life and experience and a transparent blade beam instantly swept toward the 5,000 people.
Puff, puff, puff …
With just one strike, only a dozen of the Darkwind's 5,000 vanguard soldiers soared into the sky from the crowd and escaped the violent strike. Even though the rest tried their best to evade, they were still slashed at the waist and directly obliterated.
"She's so strong!"
Everyone present was amazed by the slash. Such power and violence were simply overwhelming. Despite being very strong, Xue Yu still didn't dare to say that she could achieve such a feat.
"Goddammit!"
King Yama, who was shrouded in a black robe, soared into the sky from the rear. He waved the staff in his hand and roared angrily, "I didn't expect you to turn out to be a bunch of despicable villains, Tan Xiu! We haven't even arrived at the 9th hidden island yet, yet your men have already killed my men. You're simply shameless! "
Tan Xiu soared into the sky and sneered. "Your men have arrived, which means the war has already begun. In such a situation, it's either you die or I die. Don't tell me you want to have a cup of tea and chat with me after you arrived? "
King Yama glared at Tan Xiu and cast an incantation. Black smoke immediately rose around the 9th hidden island. In just a few breaths, the entire island was shrouded in black mist.
"If that's the case, then let's kill them all! Your Great Tang Empire may have a large army of cultivators, but I'm not a pushover, either. Kill them all! Let's see how many Ghouls you can kill and how heavy your losses will be! "King Yama roared angrily and waved the staff in his hand even faster.
Tan Xiu's expression changed. He could keenly sense that the surrounding temperature had dropped by more than 10 degrees in just a short moment, and he could even smell the scent of Ghouls.
