Chapter 404: Rebirth in the City of the Netherworld, My Loyal Tian Can Di Que Betrayed Me

Chapter 404: Rebirth in the City of the Netherworld, My Loyal Tian Can Di Que Betrayed Me

Ink City had become a desolate ruin.

Li Che wore a half-black, half-white King of Hell Mask, his jet-black hair dancing wildly, infused with golden essence blood. Behind him, a massive furnace hung in the air.

He resembled a mythical figure who had chased after the scorching sun, bearing its weight on his back. His essence blood was terrifying, almost like a Dragon King on parade!

Compared to before, Ink City was now much stronger and more resilient, but against a Demi-Sage Warrior-level battle, it was still somewhat unbearable, as if it couldn't withstand the pressure. It seemed as if it would be completely blown away.

Li Che's eyes remained calm, devoid of any emotional turmoil.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, his flesh swollen, and his muscles pulsated relentlessly, like an inflated balloon. His tendons and bones vibrated across his body, resembling coiled dragons. With the slightest movement, he unleashed a sound akin to a taut bowstring being released, creating an explosive rumble.

Scorching essence blood surged, distorting the surrounding air. His peerless body refinement reached the pinnacle of masculinity and yang energy.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

Beneath the mask, Li Che's lips and teeth parted. With each breath, the essence blood within his body surged like the tides, ebbing and flowing.

"The location of the eighth Mysterious Gate Divine Seed has finally been found..."

A slight smile lifted the corners of his lips, and Li Che's heart relaxed.

The eighth Mysterious Gate Divine Seed had been the most challenging for Li Che to locate, even failing to pinpoint its position within his spine.

The eight Mysterious Gates in the spine were like locked shackles, and once opened, they would allow one's essence blood to be released and amplified, resulting in a tremendous surge.

Therefore, it was no surprise to Li Che that finding the eighth Mysterious Gate was difficult.

"However, even if I've located its position, guiding the eighth Divine Seed into the Mysterious Gate isn't an easy task."

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

The eighth Divine Seed was the "Lu Xuan Sword Immortal's Six Desires Evil Extermination Pure Yang Sword Art." It was a sword technique that could alternate between pure martial arts and divine martial arts.

Li Che had already successfully mastered the Transformation Realm and elevated it to the height of Divine Transformation True Martial.

However, as he had reached the Divine Transformation True Martial stage, guiding the Mysterious Gate would become even more challenging.

"Never mind... Let's finish this battle first."

Li Che felt a sense of relief, a feeling of having found direction for the future.

All confusion was torn away, revealing a clear path.

"Tian Can Di Que was killed by me. These two were quite sensible, submitting very decisively, and moreover..."

"These two have an interesting background related to the Divine Camp..."

Behind the mask, Li Che's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light.

After being besieged, Tian Can Di Que's death was inevitable. They were beaten to a bloody pulp, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

When these two were together, they were invincible, but when separated... they became a bit weak.

Separated, Tian Can and Di Que, individually, were no match for Li Che, who could defeat them within three punches. After their separation, they couldn't harness the power of the Demi-Sage Warrior to withstand the overwhelming pressure of the Heaven Surpassing Dao Domain.

"It seems that as my strength increases, the likelihood of these Bound Deities submitting also rises. Most of them are quite sensible, and there are few who dare to resist..."

Li Che was quite satisfied with this situation.

"Any enemy who enters my City of the Netherworld will be reborn as my brother."

He smiled lightly.

Then, a torrent of murderous intent surged forth.

He hadn't had enough killing...

Li Che took a step forward, his entire body resembling a cannonball as he tore through Ink City and burst out of the city walls.

The shattered Ink City continued to pour down black rainwater.

This black rainwater contained powerful restorative powers, slowly repairing the city while also enhancing the maturity of the Immortal Dao Fruit within the painting.

...

...

Boom!!!

In mid-air, a terrifying aura erupted, like a massive wave, constantly boiling and forming white crests that spread out in a circular pattern.

Tian Can and Di Que glared angrily. After leaving the City of the Netherworld, they spat out blood, their faces contorted with rage.

The half-step Demi-Sage Warrior shadows of the two hovered in the air.

At the same time, within the City of the Netherworld...

The King of the Netherworld unleashed his power, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and the furnace poured out, colliding with Tian Can and Di Que.

The air seemed like a calm lake into which a large stone had been thrown, causing continuous waves and undulations.

Ji Moling, while battling Lu Tai Bai, had been keeping a close eye on the situation in Ink City.

When Fang Hanshu displayed the Vast Righteousness River and reached the Demi-Divine Tribulation level, the situation of this great battle had already become extremely dire.

So, Ji Moling could only hope for a favorable outcome within Ink City.

When Tian Can and Di Que were dragged into Ink City, Ji Moling's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Tian Can and Di Que might meet their end within.

If the other side gained a Demi-Divine Tribulation expert while losing a Demi-Sage Warrior's strength...

The impact would be earth-shattering!

Therefore, upon seeing Tian Can, Di Que, and Huang Mei, Ji Moling heaved a sigh of relief.

Additionally, Ji Moling couldn't help but feel a hint of regret.

It seemed that the Yellow Eyebrowed Great Master from Little Spirit Sound Temple was not truly at the Demi-Divine Tribulation level and had not mastered the Three Calamities Power.

When dragged into the City of the Netherworld, Huang Mei couldn't possibly hide his cultivation. He would have to unleash it.

But when Huang Mei was forced out, his aura remained at the peak.

Thus, Ji Moling made this judgment.

"This is also good. My cooperation with Huang Mei can now take the leading role."

Ji Moling's eyes flashed.

Boom!!!

The umbrella gun in his hand trembled, and countless gun shadows emerged, spreading across the sky. In an instant, countless dragon shadows erupted.

Lu Tai Bai's eyebrows split, and blood drenched his face. He summoned the Dao Tribulation Sword, and a green breeze blew, stirring souls and clashing with Ji Moling's formidable gun techniques!

The two clashed fiercely, neither willing to yield, each feeling the urge to kill.

Lu Tai Bai felt the pressure and struggled intensely.

Ji Moling spoke of true combat power, and indeed, he was superior to Lu Tai Bai. All Lu Tai Bai could do was to hold off Ji Moling.

On the other side.

Huang Mei also emerged from the Netherworld City of Ink, bloodied and battered, his two long eyebrows seemed to have lost their strength, drooping down: "Tian Can and Di Que, you two patrons, hold off the King of Hell!"

His calm expression vanished, and he wiped away the blood from his lips.

The golden Buddha image behind him seemed to be covered in countless fine cracks, as if about to be shattered.

Huang Mei seemed startled, and had the intention to retreat.

"This poor monk will first go to assist the other patrons!"

Huang Mei flicked his two long eyebrows, palms together, his eyes kind and gentle.

After he finished speaking.

He took a step forward, and glided towards the distant night sky.

Upon hearing this, the Tian Can elder immediately cursed, "Damn baldy! Don't run! Let's deal with the King of Hell together!"

But Huang Mei still didn't turn back, so Tian Can and Di Que had no choice but to abandon the King of Hell and start chasing after Huang Mei, wanting to pull him back into the battlefield.

For a moment, the situation seemed a little strange.

Huang Mei seemed to sense the pursuit behind him, his face slightly changing, his gaze sweeping towards Ji Moling, who was effortlessly suppressing Lu Tai Bai in battle.

"King of Order! This poor monk is here to help you!"

Huang Mei tapped his foot, and the Buddha's light shone, spreading out like silk, and he glided through the night sky towards Ji Moling's direction.

Tian Can and Di Que also caught up, the King of Hell's eyes burning with golden flames, the Dragon Elephant Furnace roaring behind him, his aura unmatched!

Diverting the calamity?

Ji Moling narrowed his eyes, his keen sense of smell seemed to have detected something amiss.

However, when Lu Tai Bai saw Huang Mei charging towards him, he coldly laughed.

"Huang Mei... damn baldy! How dare you come, this sect will kill you today! The evil deeds your Little Spirit Sound Temple's Demon Buddha committed in the West Ling Region, have made me extremely furious!"

"You dare to interfere in the battle of a Demi-Divine Tribulation!"

Buzz—

The sword intent roared!

Lu Xuan Sword trembled, silver sword light shimmering, like a sword river crashing down, within the river, terrifying divine-slaying winds raged!

However, a rod-like divine dragon stretched out, the umbrella spear suddenly expanded, spear light like stars and rain, and even more black netherworld flames clashed and eroded the divine-slaying winds! Ji Moling took action, blocking this move for Huang Mei.

Lu Tai Bai glared: "Ji Moling, get lost!"

The sword in his hand shook, sword light tearing through the sky, once again slashing towards the slightly frustrated Huang Mei.

Huang Mei roared, palms clenched, golden Buddha light shielding the sky with his Buddha hands, but it was easily torn apart by Lu Tai Bai's sword light, and he was slashed by a sword!

"It's just this."

Lu Tai Bai smiled slightly.

"Weak, too weak!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

"Your opponent is me." Ji Moling hovered in the air, his body clad in dark black armor, his eyes blazing with brilliant vital energy beneath his face mask!

Boom—!!!

The umbrella spear stretched out, as if about to crush and shatter the very void!

Huang Mei's face turned pale, his two long eyebrows almost twisting together, his body staggering back, looking at Ji Moling who blocked Lu Tai Bai's killing move for Huang Mei, his eyes flashing slightly.

Seemingly restless, wanting to take action.

The feeling of being backstabbed made Huang Mei gradually become somewhat infatuated.

"You don't need to take action."

Suddenly, the soul of the Bound Deity trembled, Li Che's voice echoing in his ear, causing Huang Mei to tremble.

Seemingly puzzled, why didn't the lord let him take action in such a good opportunity? However, Li Che didn't explain, and Huang Mei didn't dare ask for an explanation, so he restrained his excitement from backstabbing and continued to retreat.

As for Lu Tai Bai, who was now in a full-blown fight with Ji Moling, he was a little confused.

He had created such favorable conditions for Huang Mei, why did Huang Mei still erupt?!!!

Boom—!!!

The vital energy furnace and the Demi-Sage Warrior's shadow clashed, the terrifying vital energy erupting.

Tian Can and Di Que kept bleeding, the Demi-Sage Warrior's shadow gradually becoming blurry.

The two cursed Huang Mei, wanting to pull him to deal with the King of Hell together.

Because Huang Mei's position was behind Ji Moling, Tian Can and Di Que, upon arriving, approached Ji Moling from behind.

The King of Hell also charged over.

For a moment, this area of the night sky became a battleground for four Demi-Divine Tribulation experts and Demi-Sage Warrior-level masters.

Terrifying tier pressure, powerful vital energy collisions!

Boom—!!!

The Demi-Sage Warrior's shadow formed by Tian Can and Di Que trembled, clashing with the King of Hell's punch, the terrifying vital energy from the furnace surging and rippling.

Pfft!

The two elders trembled, bleeding again!

"Damn it! The combined technique's Demi-Sage Warrior power is indeed no match for a true Demi-Sage Warrior!"

"Damn! King of Order, help us, or we'll be killed!"

"Once we're killed! This Mountain-Crushing, Sect-Destroying battle will be lost!"

Tian Can and Di Que wiped away their blood, clashing with the King of Hell, whose shadow was slowly becoming blurry.

Being beaten back step by step!

The Demi-Sage Warrior's shadow gradually becoming blurry.

Ji Moling gripped the umbrella spear, frowning, his fingers clenching, and with a push, netherworld fire wrapped around his fist, while clashing with Lu Tai Bai, he smashed towards the King of Hell!

Li Che's eyes focused, the Thunder Magnetic Body's Dao fruit trembled within his chest cavity!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

Countless black golden thunderbolts flashed, it was the Heaven Soaring Thunder!

Transforming into the Net of Thunder, slamming towards Ji Moling's fist.

"Want to seal this king?!"

Ji Moling coldly laughed, within his fist, countless dragons swiftly drilled out, madly slamming into the Net of Thunder, netherworld fire wrapping the dragons, actually smashing the Net of Thunder!

"Heaven Soaring Thunder? So you've mastered one of the Three Calamities, the Heaven Soaring Thunder... But it's just this."

Ji Moling could sense that the King of Hell's control over the Heaven Soaring Thunder was only superficial.

Even the Daoist path seemed to have eluded him.

The King of Hell from the Netherworld was no cause for alarm! However, the King of Hell's physical body was incredibly powerful, and his cultivation was purely martial, a fact that Ji Moling had discerned, and it was an extremely profound pure martial art!

To cultivate the Pure Martial Art to such an extent was truly rare in the world! Even during the heyday of the Mysterious Gate, when the Pure Martial Art flourished, there were few who cultivated it to such a high level.

Boom—! ! !

The Dragon Elephant Furnace erupted, clashing with Ji Moling's fist.

A loud sound reverberated like an ancient bell being struck hard on a mountain peak.

The sound waves shook, transmitting for thousands of miles!

The sky seemed to explode, and the powerful and scorching Qi and blood billowed like thick fog, rolling out in all directions!

They were completely engulfed in the chaos of battle!

...

...

Bang—! ! !

A bronze mirror-like divine weapon dimmed, losing its divine brilliance, and became useless scrap metal, shattered into four or five pieces!

Ning Caishen's expression turned extremely grim. He had many divine weapons, but they couldn't withstand the onslaught of this mysterious top-tier Netherworld expert.

"He's fighting with no regard for his life, detonating all the Mysterious Gate Divine Seeds, staking his life without any intention of surviving!"

From the start until now, Ning Caishen had been completely suppressed. He didn't want to fight with a madman!

As for Bashu Sword Pavilion's Gu Cheng, his sword intent surged, and his battle intent was vigorous, matching Zhu Que's flag with great fervor, making the battle extremely intense.

However, facing Zhu Que, who was detonating his Mysterious Gate Divine Seeds without regard for his life, Gu Cheng gradually fell into the disadvantage.

Injuries began to appear on his body, making Gu Cheng suddenly realize that this approach wouldn't work!

As for Zhao Chunqiu, located in the Divine Capital Dao's Divine Sect, he had been suppressed by the court for a generation, and his back was already bent. Now, it was even more so.

During the battle, the three top-tier Netherworld experts had already started considering their escape strategies.

The main reason was that after Bai Bu Yi's death...

Fang Hanshu stood atop the Hongran River, his gaze fixed on their bodies.

Fortunately, it seemed that Fang Hanshu's target wasn't them.

This bearded man's beard fluttered in the wind, and his gaze swept over, landing on Xie Yun Shen's body, who was on the battle ship.

"To catch a thief, first catch the king."

"But..."

Fang Hanshu didn't take action immediately.

Because he was a scholar, and Xie Yun Shen was also a scholar. Between scholars, there seemed to be a resonance.

Fang Hanshu felt that since Xie Yun Shen dared to come to the Mountain Breaking Sect to suppress the Hongran Academy...

The Hongran Academy...

There was a Patriarch!

That Patriarch had never said that he was dead!

In fact, it should be said that all the Divine Sects...

Had Patriarchs at the Divine Tribulation Realm!

So...

Were Xie Yun Shen's trump cards really just these people?

Tian Dan Ancient Chang Qing, Seven Treasures Ning Caishen, Dragon Tiger Zhao Chunqiu, Hongran Bai Bu Yi, Sword Pavilion Gu Cheng, and finally, the half-step Martial Saint, King Ji Moling.

Just these five Divine Sect leaders?

Add another one, the Pacifying King Ji Moling.

Was this their lineup?

No...

Divine Tribulation?

Fang Hanshu hovered in the air, the Hongran River surging beneath him. Page after page of his writings with messy handwriting floated around him, each page sharp like a blade.

His scholar's robes fluttered in the wind, and his beard danced.

His gaze collided with Xie Yun Shen's in mid-air.

Xie Yun Shen's cloth robe continuously struck the air, and he gently waved his feather fan, calm and composed.

Beside him, the sword-wielding guard, Ning An, struggled to even stand.

The National Teacher, this was too dangerous!

In front, Ma Mian aimed his terrifying large killing weapon, hesitating to shoot.

There was also a half-step Divine Tribulation expert, Lu Che, waiting.

This expedition to suppress the Mountain Breaking Sect...

Who was the Mountain Breaking Sect suppressing, and who was being suppressed?

Xie Yun Shen gently shook his feather fan, his gaze deep, his cloth robe facing these pressures without the slightest change in expression.

"Rest assured, Fang Hanshu wouldn't dare to easily take action against me..."

Xie Yun Shen smiled faintly, calmly strategizing.

As for why Lu Che didn't shoot...

He had also guessed the reason.

He was waiting for their trump cards to be revealed!

Between the Divine Tribulation and the Divine Tribulation, whoever took action first would face the suppression of the Heaven and Earth's will, and the one who acted later would naturally gain the advantage.

Lu Che should have also guessed this...

"Lu Che wants to kill me, he wants to deliver a fatal blow to me... So, he's waiting for all our trump cards to be revealed before he shoots."

Xie Yun Shen explained calmly.

Lu Che wanted to shoot after their Divine Tribulation experts took action.

If the Divine Tribulation didn't act, Lu Che's fatal blow might be blocked.

So...

Lu Che's target was very clear.

"This Li Half-Saint is no ordinary person... He has great confidence in the Netherworld, believing that the Netherworld's power can slowly suppress us until our final trump card is forced out."

Xie Yun Shen spoke gravely.

Ning An was sweating profusely, clutching his long sword, "But the National Teacher, the current situation is indeed like this!"

"With the loss of two Divine Sect leaders, the remaining three Divine Sect leaders are also struggling to hold on..."

Xie Yun Shen shook his head.

His gaze turned towards the Grand Canal.

"Dragon Emperor's son, it's your turn."

"The Great Jing will remember your Dragon Clan's contributions and support."

Xie Yun Shen said.

After he finished speaking.

Beneath the Grand Canal, long dragon shadows erupted, water surging upwards.

Fang Hanshu's gaze landed on them.

"The Dragon Clan?"

As expected, the water receded, accompanied by the sound of rushing water.

A figure with dragon horns on his head appeared, his body radiating powerful Qi and blood, and purple light flowed from his eyes.

"The Dragon Emperor's son, Ao Fa!"

Fang Hanshu narrowed his eyes.

His purple hair fluttered, and dragon scales gleamed beneath his neck.

It was indeed the Dragon Clan's first son, the Dragon Emperor's son, Ao Fa, ranked ninth at the Heavenly Gate Pass, possessing the strength of a Dragon Emperor!

The title was, Dragon Emperor's son!

"Even you've come, it seems... The Dragon Clan is betting everything on the court's side."

"Let me guess, your Dragon God clan is so determined to support Ji Moling and collaborate with the Great Jing Court because you Dragon Gods want to come ashore?"

Fang Hanshu spoke.

The Dragon God Prince clenched his five fingers, and a trident fell into his hand. He sighed, "Yes, we want to come ashore... In the current sea, the number of bizarre temples is increasing, and more and more Demon Emperors are appearing from the Strange Temple. My Dragon God clan... can't hold on any longer."

Fang Hanshu scoffed, "Your Dragon God clan... aren't you also part of the Demon race?"

"Instead of coexisting peacefully with the Demon race, you come to fight with the Human race for territory?"

"Are you eyeing the Heavenly Origin? Do you want it to be the future breeding ground for your Dragon God clan?"

The Dragon God Prince shook his head, not saying more, as the meaning was already self-evident.

He clenched the trident in one hand, while the other hand slowly rose. In an instant, a dragon pearl, bursting with overwhelming dragon might, appeared in his hand.

Within that dragon pearl, a terrifying demonic energy was contained!

"The Dragon Emperor Orb?!"

Fang Hanshu's eyes narrowed.

But then, the Dragon God Prince swallowed the Dragon Emperor Orb, and his aura rose step by step. The terrifying demonic energy raged into the sky, and with just one step forward, he appeared before Fang Hanshu.

The trident swept out, and the space seemed about to be torn apart, leaving behind a rift-like scar!

With the help of the Dragon Emperor Orb, this Dragon God Prince had already reached the level of a Demi-Demon Emperor!

Boom!

The Vast Righteousness River tilted, and the river water rose a thousand feet!

On the other side, three Dragon Princes of the Dragon clan soared into the sky, their three dragon shadows intertwining, and then they burst forth with a terrifying aura.

This scene was quite familiar to Fang Hanshu, similar to the combination technique mastered by the Four Symbols Mystic Guardians of the Great Jing Court!

Fang Hanshu's face showed a hint of difficulty.

So stable?!!

This Xie Yunshen, in order to deal with the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, had actually prepared so many trump cards!

Even without considering the hidden Divine Tribulation expert, just the four Demi-Sage Warriors and Demi-Sage Warriors were enough to make things difficult!

Boom!

"All of you, come over here!"

Fang Hanshu's Confucian robe fluttered, and his gaze carried a hint of a scholar's anger!

He actually blocked the Demi-Sage Warrior-level Dragon God Prince and the three Dragon Princes, forming a Demi-Dragon God shadow!

...

...

A sudden uproar resounded.

Whether in the Heavenly Origin City or on the Grand Canal, the strong experts on the numerous battle ships from the Court's side all had their faces turn extremely tense!

In the Heavenly Origin City, Zhao Fang Zhou, Feng Zhiqu, and other Divine Sect experts had extremely nervous expressions.

They had thought they had gained the advantage and blocked the Court's offensive.

But then, the Court's side gained two more Demi-Sage Warrior-level powers.

How could they fight against this?!!

If this continues, the Court's side will have one more Demi-Sage Warrior-level power, which even the Great Elder might not be able to stop!

If this drags on, there will definitely be loopholes!

However, just as everyone's nerves were on edge, they were attracted by the scene of Fang Hanshu fighting with the Dragon God Prince and the Demi-Dragon God shadow.

Suddenly, everyone heard a roar that seemed to tear apart the sky.

The deafening sound rolled like an extremely sharp blade, ripping through the sky!

Within the roar, there was an overwhelming sense of shock and disbelief!

Everyone's ears rang, their minds went blank, and their blood seemed to turn chaotic.

Feng Zhiqu, Zhao Fang Zhou, Hong Shi Fo, and others looked around, and they all turned towards the area where the four Demi-Divine Tribulation experts were engaged in a fierce battle!

Instantly...

They were stunned speechless!

On the Ironwood Ship.

Xie Yunshen, who had stabilized the situation, gently waved his feather fan, and a gentle breeze brushed their faces. He knew that if this continued, the Court's side would definitely win. Despite Ning Caishen, Gu Cheng, and Zhao Chunqiu enduring injuries, they had shouldered some of the pressure and endured the terrifying offensive from Lu Tai Bai and the King of Netherworld's terrifying offensive.

However...

Tian Can Di Que and Di Que, the two elders, were actually fighting alongside Ji Moling against the King of Netherworld and Lu Tai Bai!

That somewhat illusory Demi-Sage Warrior shadow suddenly solidified.

It even erupted with a terrifying surge of energy, and the two elders simultaneously detonated all their Mystical Seeds!

This made the Demi-Sage Warrior shadow even more solid and powerful!

Then, the Demon Elephant's Hoof viciously swept out, and the Martial Saint's Eye erupted with a terrifying penetrating death light!

The Demi-Sage Warrior-level power unleashed its might, and the firepower slammed onto Ji Moling!

Xie Yunshen's body trembled, and he felt as if he was about to fall, with a stabbing pain in his chest and a sense of the world collapsing.

Damn!

He had been so loyal to...

Tian Can Di Que!

Had betrayed!
