Chapter 420 Netherworld
Hiss!
A surge of vigorous qi burst out from within a dilapidated pavilion, the bricks and stones easily torn to pieces by the impact.
Hum!
The air abruptly trembled as a figure with pitch-black bull horns, five meters tall and with skin as dark and iron-cast as his body, tore open the roof of the ruined pavilion and suddenly appeared.
Jin Er's mouth and nose were surrounded by swirling hot white smoke, and he glanced indifferently at Chen Mu.
"No wonder the Spirit Lord values you," he said.
<><>"But this is as far as you go."
Chen Mu stared at Jin Er, his brows slightly furrowed and the smile on his face slowly fading away.
The aura emanating from his opponent at this moment made his heart tremble without reason.
Was that feeling just now an illusion?
Trouble!
"Not willing to give up?" Jin Er's mouth curled into a mocking smile.
"Even if you're a Condensing Aperture elder of Jilong Road, you're nothing more than a slightly bigger ant in my eyes."
"You... heh!"
A strong sense of oppression came over him, and Chen Mu's face instantly changed. With this level of might, an ordinary Condensing Aperture practitioner of Jilong Road would most likely not be able to withstand this bull-horned monster's iron fist!
His heart sank.
"Take a beating obediently, and if I'm in a good mood afterward, I might grant you a quick death," Jin Er threatened.
"Otherwise..."
Jin Er bared his teeth, revealing his bone-white fangs, and a playful and malicious gaze filled his eyes!
The next moment, Jin Er's figure abruptly sprang up, a ring of white smoke exploded in the air, and he appeared almost instantaneously above Chen Mu with a boom.
He put his hands together and raised them high above his head.
"Heavenly Destruction from Ten Directions!"
An imprisoning force suddenly descended, and Chen Mu felt as though he were a mosquito trapped in amber, fixed in mid-air.
This is it!
Giant Spirit Divine!
The shadow of a divine general in dark red armor flickered behind him, and a tremendous force suddenly bolstered his body, forcing a small gap in the imprisoning power.

Chen Mu was immediately overjoyed and was about to cast spells to escape.
Jin Er's indifferent voice came again.
"It's useless," he said.
Clang!
The imprisoning force that Chen Mu had just pried open rebounded back into place.
The air around him suddenly became as rigid as concrete, and he was firmly stuck in place, unable to move!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu even felt as though time around him was slowing down, and a sense of despair began to spread in his heart.
He looked at the pair of crimson iron hands chopping down toward his head, feeling for the first time that death was just a hair's breadth away.
In that instant, countless thoughts surged in his mind.
He just wanted to stay in a place where no one would bother him, where he could peacefully farm experience.
But why was that so difficult?
For more than ten years, he had lived cautiously, staying far away from danger. Yet, the unpredictable nature of events always surprised him, as if he wasn't meant to have a peaceful and harmonious life.
Just give up resisting and wait for death?
Chen Mu's pupils slowly contracted into needles.
No way!
Five Ghosts Moving Mountain!
Black smoke billowed out, and the Five Ghosts Bag opened wide as if bees were leaving their hive. Clusters of black mixed with red ghosts exploded in the sky like black fireworks, instantly filling half of the heavens.
If you want me dead, you'd better be prepared to go down with me!
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"
"I've been wanting to try this move!"
"Let's die together! Haha!"
Myriad Ghosts as One!
The dense mass of black and red smoke abruptly became still, and the next instant, like piranhas smelling blood, they crazily burrowed into Chen Mu's body.
Lin Su replied with an easygoing expression, "Afraid, of course."
"But who let Jin Er bungle his task?"
"Even the annihilation of the Jin Family's nine generations would hardly atone for ruining the Divine Spirit's grand scheme."
Lin Su looked indifferently at the pond before him.
"I gave him the opportunity, and I gave him the time."
"Unfortunately..."
He turned back to look at Dantai Zong.
Dantai Zong's face was grave. He bowed slightly, nodded, and then briskly walked in front of Lin Su.
Hands joined together.
"Netherworld Ferry!"
His entire body suddenly exploded, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a puddle of bright yellow water, disappearing into the ground without a trace.
...
Thousand Lanterns City.
Inside a dark alley.
Shang Huan lay helpless against a wall, bound in pitch-black chains.
He looked terrified at something in the distance.
There, a five-meter-tall giant with indigo skin was holding a horned monster by its horns, swinging it against the city walls and then smashing it to the ground over its head like a rag filled with stones.
In just a moment, the massive city had been nearly destroyed.
His eyes bulging, he felt the wild aura, disbelief written all over his face.
Was this black-smoke-wreathed, blood-eyed monstrous giant really the same person as the one who used the Alchemy Furnace to stew pork ribs?
"Mu, he..."
"He's probably gone mad, right?" Lu Ku let out a wry smile, "Such a terrifying secret technique can't possibly come without a price."
Suddenly, the wall beside the two of them cracked open, and an eyeball covered in bloodshot veins appeared.
The air vibrated with a buzz, and Qian Mu's anxious voice came through immediately, "That man has indeed lost his mind. Do you have any way to wake him up?"
Shang Huan lay on the ground, glanced at him, and suddenly burst into a strange chuckle, "Yes, if you beg me, I'll tell you."
"Are you blind? That guy doesn't recognize anyone now! If the general falls, neither of us will survive!" the crimson eyeball yelled.
Shang Huan furrowed his brows, unable to suppress a look of concern.
"That's indeed a possibility."
The crimson eyeball blinked rapidly, "That's right, if we can wake him up, we can still live. If you let him keep raging, we're all doomed!"
Hearing this, Shang Huan's gaunt face grew even more solemn.
"If that's the case..."
"Then let's all die together!"
"Ha ha ha..."
Right over his chest, Lu Ku's mouth corners quirked up, "Seems like you're afraid of death too, huh... hehe..."
The crimson eyeball stood frozen in place, its gaze filled with disbelief as it stared at Lu Ku and Shang Huan, "Have you guys gone mad?!"
But before it could plead further.
A streak of bright yellow water suddenly seeped out from the chains binding Shang Huan, and as it hit the ground, it silently began to spread rapidly.
Everywhere it passed, houses and walls corroded and collapsed as if wax had met flame, soon sinking into the bright yellow water to disappear without a trace.
"Netherworld Ferry?!" The crimson eyeball's pupil suddenly contracted.
"Dantai Zong!" It cursed through gritted teeth and, right before sinking into the watery surface, vanished in a flash.
Shang Huan lay against the wall as the bright yellow surface appeared, slowly sinking down.
No corrosive pain came as expected; instead, he felt a warm and comfortable sensation that gave him an unprecedented sense of security, causing him to involuntarily squint his eyes.
"If I really have to drown like this, it wouldn't be so bad."
"Lu Ku, still thinking about becoming a ghost soldier?"
"Probably won't make it, huh." Only Lu Ku's face was above water as he glanced sideways at the rampaging blue giant not far away.
He too felt the soul-soothing warmth.
This must be the sweet poison, he thought.
But...
"I tried my best; let it be..."
With an oddly light chuckle from Lu Ku, both their figures completely submerged beneath the water.
The surrounding walls and pavilions began to sink slowly but resolutely, quietly disappearing beneath the water's surface.
