Chapter 517: Duty (1)
Susa Boy continued to search frantically as he fled for his life.
No… it’s not the time to think about these things right now. What’s more important is to locate Lee Jung-sook and get the hell out of Cathay! Capturing that man is already out of the question! Evading capture is the next best thing I can hope for!
“Are they bowing in response to the arrival of a Yama-King?! Damn it!!” Fear loomed over his mind, threatening to consume every last measure of hope in his heart. He roared with great exasperation and clawed desperately at the Yin spirits in front of his eyes. Unfortunately, Lee Jung-sook was still nowhere to be found.
T-t-t-t…. His teeth began to chatter wildly. His future was looking bleak. A god of death had just appeared in Cathay, exuding such domineering Yin energy that caused him to feel no different from a juicy, fat lamb in front of a ferocious tiger. Dread and terror slowly tightened their grasp around his heart.
Meanwhile, the Sword of the Yellow Emperor’s master simply gazed in the direction of Lush Garden Acres with a series of complex emotions swelling up from the depths of his heart.
Being one of the three most powerful experts living in Cathay right now, he naturally knew far more than most other people. After all, the Divine Protectors had passed down their legacy from generation to generation, and everything was documented in great detail. At once, he turned to address his mind to the records of the ancient past.
It’s probably Yin soldiers. Having a Yama-class entity deal with an Abyssal Prefect would be too much of an overkill. That said… just how many soldiers did Hell mobilize in order to cause such a massive eruption of Yin energy?
BOOM!! Violent waves of Yin energy rippled out from Susa Boy as he unleashed a terrifying wail that reverberated through the air for ten seconds before finally dissipating altogether.
Rather, he was venting his fear and dread for what was to come. It was the state of frenzy accompanying his final hurrah.
Just then, the entire world went silent.
He turned back stiffly with great trepidation. Meanwhile, the Sword of the Yellow Emperor’s master turned to stare at Susa Boy’s back, watching intently with bated breath.
The elites of Hell have finally arrived!
Just then, a fiery red rift appeared soundlessly from behind Susa Boy like a bloodstain in the void. At once, a domineering blast of Yin energy poured right through the crack!
The Yin energy pouring out of the rift wasn’t so much copious as it was incomparably dense and pure. In fact, it was precisely because it was made of the purest wisps of Yin energy that the Sword of the Yellow Emperor’s master stared agape at it. All that remained in his mind was a single notion of thought.
Has a Yama-King actually arrived here in the mortal realm?!
But whoever it is, all Yama-Kings have been known to be noble in life and heroes in death! To be able to bask in their glory and splendor is my honour in life!
T-t-t-t-t… Meanwhile, Susa Boy couldn’t help but shudder violently as his entire body trembled.
It felt like the chilling touch of a hand in the middle of a dark room. At once, the Yin energy in his body curdled with fear.
These black balls of light glowed brightly as it writhed intently, before soon coalescing into the hazy figures of Yin soldiers, each of whom were armed with ferocious spears and dressed in valiant armor. At once, they surrounded Susa Boy at the heart of their formation. A large banner bearing the word “Qin” fluttered wildly with the wind as the Yin soldiers bellowed in unison, “By Hell’s Dictum, all rabble shall disperse!!!”
Just then, two massive hands reached out from the rift in the void, almost as though it were forcibly widening the gap!
A thin man dressed like an official of the Song Dynasty slowly emerged from the heart of the rift, all the while staring at Susa Boy with an abstruse gaze in his eyes.
The master of the Sword of the Yellow Emperor gasped in astonishment - What extravagance! To think that the esteemed Yama-King would be clearing the path with an Abyssal Prefect - and one that is not far from the ranks of a Yama-King to boot! The old man could clearly sense his own true energy fluctuating violently as soon as the Prefect-class Yin spirit stepped out of the rift in the void.
“Is this… the true depth of Hell’s might?”
“Are you the Abyssal Prefect in charge of the coastal district?”
“May the King Yanluo of Hell reign for all eternity!!” The Yin soldiers echoed in unison. The sea of flames around them roared at once, and the flames licked the skies.
The sea of netherflames receded at once, almost as though it were ebbing in submission to the domineering presence of the Harken.
Both Susa Boy and the master of the Sword of the Yellow Emperor were completely astonished by these developments. Their mind instantly went numb, and they found themselves completely unable to process the sheer incredulity of what was taking place right now. Even then, they both lowered their heads at once.
This was the dazzling majesty and authority of the King Yanluo of Hell!
The might of Hell is far beyond what us mortals had ever imagined! This is the arrival of the King Yanluo of Hell we’re talking about! Isn’t this tantamount to a declaration to the nation that Hell is well-placed to take charge of matters in the netherworld once more?
The thought of such prospects caused goosebumps to creep up all over his body. The old man clenched his fists tightly.
Just then, Qin Ye gritted his teeth and spoke solemnly, “Daolord of the asura.”
They wanted nothing more than to gaze upon the true appearances of the King Yanluo of Hell. Unfortunately, neither one dared to raise their head in the slightest. They feared the wrath of Hell.
Qin Ye turned to Susa Boy and spoke with a cold voice, “Trespassing constitutes a challenge to Hell’s authority. Committing genocide on the Yin spirits of Hell constitutes a declaration of war.”
He was waiting for the final verdict.
Kkkkrrrr… Susa Boy sank his claws deep into the ground.
“Very well.” Qin Ye raised his hand, and then brought it down forcefully, “Kill him!!”
“Charge!!!” At once, the Yin soldiers poured towards Susa Boy from every direction. The Yin ones leading the charge were naturally the Black Armored Troops. They trudged forward valiantly, dragging their long swords along the ground, ready to strike at the moment’s notice!
No… I cannot afford to get caught by them! At once, the fear that once paralyzed him went through the roof, becoming the very source of motivation that stirred his heart once more. With a shrill shriek, his claws extended out dozens of meters and he swiped madly at the Black Armored Troops closest to him.
SSS!! The fear in Susa Boy’s heart only escalated as time passed. With another powerful swipe of his claw, Susa Boy shrieked as he attempted to fly up and away from the encirclement that had him surrounded. But as soon as he did, countless bolts flew through the air, leaving dazzling streaks of light in their wake as they hurtled towards Susa Boy’s body.
Sensing the sheer destructiveness of the Karmic Fire bolts, Susa Boy took a deep breath and spread his wings out without hesitation, releasing a barrage of white feathers that shot out to intercept every single arrow in the air. Then, without pausing, he made straight for the coast.
There’s no way I’d be spared if I hang around any longer!
The daolord’s body trembled instantly, and he bellowed with great fury, “What gall!!”
A split second later, his chest burst open, revealing a blackened infant dripped wet with corpse fluid. It stared straight ahead with its scarlet eyes, and then slowly opened its mouth wide.
The world instantly went silent.
The netherflame in the surrounding immediately converged towards the infant’s mouth. Moments later, every Yin spirit and artifact within a thousand-meter radius of the infant suddenly lifted off the ground… and then rushed straight into the infant’s mouth as well!
