Chapter 2381 – The Five Kings of the Netherworld
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Han Li was quietly exhaling and recuperating in the secret room when suddenly Zhu Guo’er’s respectful voice came from outside:
”Senior Han, Lord Bi Shadow sent someone to invite you over. It says that the time for the Battle of the Powerful has arrived.”
”Got it, I’ll go over right now. I don’t know if this trip is dangerous, so you and Flowerstone should stay here.” Han Li’s eyes fluttered open and he calmly returned.
Then with a roll of haze light on his body surface, he turned into a stunning rainbow hovering up, and after a flash, he directly pierced through the gate’s broken air and disappeared.
Half an hour later, in the center of the fortress in one of the largest buildings resembling a temple, Han Li finally saw Bi Ying, Wen Xinfeng, and another tall, thin man wearing silver armor with an icy face.
”This is Brother Lei Yuan, the person in charge of our alliance in the Thundering Continent, with a status that is generally the same as my Bloodsky status. As for Fellow Daoist Bloodshed, he encountered some minor trouble on the road, but he will arrive tomorrow at the latest. But we are making a step ahead of you now, you all don’t have any opinions, do you.” As soon as Bi Shadow saw that Han Li didn’t say anything more and introduced the fourth teammate beside him who was participating in the Battle of the Strongmen, he immediately said this.
”Since you are in charge of this Battle of the Strong, Mister Lei will not do anything to point fingers.” The silver-armored man said with an expressionless face.
Han Li and Wen Xinfeng naturally had even less to say.
Thus, after the group of people discussed a few more sentences briefly, they immediately walked out of the great hall.
Outside the huge building, there were already densely packed rows and rows of heavily armed armored soldiers.
In the sky above the fortress, there are more than a dozen huge flat flying crafts similar to islands suspended in the air.
After Bi Shadow’s order, all these armored soldiers have vacated into these “islands”.
”Only these people are participating in the Battle of the Powerful with us?” The silver-armored man asked with a frown when he saw this scene.
”Of course it’s impossible. These are just the people on the surface, I have long since drawn in manpower from other strongholds and set up a separate arrangement at the predetermined location half a month ago. In case those demons don’t intend to keep their appointment or have any other plans, naturally, I will let them have no return.” Bi Ying returned without thinking.
The silver-armored man nodded and said nothing more.
A cadre of people and other armor all enter the giant flying craft high in the air, before the light together also enter the largest “island”.
The next moment, these stages of the flying craft after a move, on the roar of the run to fly away in the distance.
Half a day later, a line of more than a dozen “islands” came to a bizarre-looking mountain range above.
This mountain range from the center as if there is an invisible boundary, one side is green green green birds and flowers. On the other hand, black gas rolling, gusty winds, vaguely heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
”Giant island” after a tremor in the boundary from two miles away from the place stopped, then above the recluse light, a team of armor from above have fallen down, or hands pinch knives, or one hand directly a raise, a variety of array apparatus a fly out, and immediately began to set up an oversized giant array below.
There are also some people, will be some different colors of light ball also to the high altitude a throw out.
Rumbling loud noise came!
A tall city wall and a building of different shapes fell down, and in the blink of an eye, a small fortress materialized out of thin air.
At the same time a respectable armed puppets, also was some armor from the storage bracelet out, appeared in the air above the city, and was activated to start patrolling back and forth.
Han Li Bi Ying and others flew out from the giant island but came together to look towards the opposite side of the demarcation line.
”Fellow Daoists, please look, the five peaks that look like fingers are the place where we agreed to compete. Once the battle begins, we will go directly to these five peaks. Once both participants have arrived, there will naturally be formation masters from both sides, each activating two prearranged protective barriers to cover the duelists within them. Only when one side takes the initiative to say the word ‘admit defeat’, or directly divide life and death, will these two protective restraints collapse and disappear on their own.” Bi Shadow gave Han Li and the others an overview of the general situation of the Battle of the Powerhouses with a grave expression.
”The other party won’t do anything to the prohibitions.” Wen Xinfeng asked suddenly after a flash of light in her eyes.
”Don’t worry, these two prohibitions are exactly the same and are not complicated, both sides will also let the formation masters check each other once after setting them up and confirm that there are no mistakes before letting their own people enter them.” Bi Shadow smiled a little before explaining a couple sentences.
”If one of the mountains ends very early, will the winner be allowed to participate in the fights on the other mountains?” Han Li also asked with a flash of his gaze.
”This aspect has not been agreed upon beforehand, but since this Battle of the Powerful is for the control of this realm, it is only natural that the overall strength of both sides should be measured.” Bi Shadow stroked his short chin beard and returned with great meaning.
”I understand.”
Although the other party’s reply was somewhat vague, Han Li still revealed a smile of understanding.
”This fight does not have any restrictions, as long as one can defeat and kill the other party, any divine ability treasures can be utilized to the fullest. Of course when one’s cultivation reaches such a level as ours, defeating the opponent may not be difficult to do, but I’m afraid it would be a thousand times more difficult to kill. Moreover, the other party is by no means an idle generation, some of the secret techniques practiced are quite different from what we normally see, so all of you should be more careful.” Bi Shadow instructed again.
”Brother Bi don’t worry, it’s not like I haven’t seen some powerful ghosts before, and I’ve long prepared a few restraining magic treasures on purpose. Even though the other party is a bit different from ordinary ghosts, I believe it will have some effect.” Wen Xinfeng said with a sweet smile after stroking the little beast in her arms with one jade finger for a few handfuls.
”Fairy Wen’s divine ability, originally had a few restraining effects on ghosts, and then prepared some special treasures, I believe that the chances of winning definitely won’t be any smaller.” Bi Ying was overjoyed at his words.
”This is not easy to say. I’ve heard that the characters known as the Ten Kings of the Netherworld are the most powerful ghosts within the other interface, and when they really get their hands dirty, I believe that they are not that easy to deal with.” Wen Xinfeng said with a shake of his head.
”Haha, Fairy is too modest. Even though the opponent is not an ordinary opponent, which one of the five of us is a simple generation. I believe that the result of this battle will definitely satisfy Bi Mou. Well, all of you first into the following temporary residence to rest a bit, and so on the Bloodshed Taoist friends a rendezvous, we can send people to go to the five peaks first set up the spell formation. I believe those ghosts from the Underworld should have already arrived over there as well.” Bi Shadow said under his breath and glanced at the rolling black gas on the other side of the boundary.
At the same time, hundreds of miles deep in the rolling black gas, nearly a hundred thousand feet high white “peaks” were quietly suspended in the air.
These peaks are surrounded by heavy black shadows, vaguely countless ghosts hovering and dancing.
If there are cultivators with spiritual purpose here, can through the wind will be these white “peaks” to see a clear.
These peaks surface uneven, and there is a light phosphorus fire flickering, clearly is piled up by countless white skeletons and skulls.
In some of the peaks of the exit, there are some green-faced fangs of ghosts in and out, one by one are not weak breath, a vicious look.
One of these peaks was different from the other white bone mountains, and there were thousands of evil ghosts wearing neat bone armor and holding various blades patrolling back and forth nearby.
In an eerie blood-red hall at the center of the bone mountain, several indistinct black shadows were each sitting on a dark chair, talking about something.
”To make the five of us run this trip together for a mere small world, isn’t it too high of an opinion of the other party. As long as I am given a million Yin Lin Army, I alone can uproot all of the other side’s strongholds, why bother holding any battle of the strongest, it’s really redundant.” A tall black shadow was saying coldly.
”Hmph, don’t underestimate the other side too much. If these beings were really easy to deal with, the several Ghost Kings who were responsible for this matter would not have returned wounded after several great battles with the other party’s strongest, and would have allowed our forces to be suppressed here without being able to advance by half a step. I think this big battle, the other side will also send their strongest, can not be too careless. Otherwise, if we really capsize here, the Thousand Wheel King and the others will laugh at the five of us, and it’s not easy to explain to Boss Hades Xiong.” The other black shadow with a slim figure said indifferently.
”The strongest among the other party? This is exactly what I want. My Five Yin Heart Locking Hammer is still lacking a truly strong soul as its spirit, if I can kill the other party, I think this innate magic weapon will be truly accomplished.” The first tall black shadow, grinning broadly, replied back, seemingly still not placing any importance on it.
”It’s a pity that the Underworld Bear Boss is fighting with the Night Ghost Clan for another Yin Realm at a critical time, so he simply can’t split up. Otherwise, if he participated in this Battle of the Powerful with his heaven-defying aptitude that is no less than that of a True Immortal, the other party wouldn’t even have a chance.” The third dark shadow also spoke with a sigh.
”The strength of the Night Ghost clan is also not trivial, and their patriarch is said to have unfathomable divine abilities as well, so only Boss Hades Xiong can cope with it. And compared to this small world that still needs many years to be transformed into a nature, naturally that Yin Realm that has been innately formed is even more important.” The slim black shadow said unhurriedly.
”Since we’ve all arrived here, all of us will surely have to take part in the great battle a few days later. There is no need to say anything more about this. With our strength, the certainty of winning in the end should also be above 70% to 80%. The key is whether or not the other party will honor their agreement and truly withdraw from the area under their control after winning. King of Seven Tricks, have those backhanders ready for you.” A gloomy voice that seemed like a poisonous snake suddenly came out from a black shadow that had never spoken.
Upon hearing these words, the previous several black shadows all subconsciously kept their bodies and immediately shut their mouths.
