1277 Thorough Extermination (1/2)
”Boo! Boo! … Wow… this portal really leads to a new world. This place… curse the Gods! The air is so wonderful! This world is so beautiful. What am I seeing here? A bunch of fresh walks of life, beings with blood and flesh? Hahaha… could this be a ranch for us, vengeful spirits? Are these blood and flesh meals prepared for us?”
”Human World? This place is the human world? We finally escaped the Nine Nether Underworld, Brothers! Kill them all! Let's occupy this world and destroy the damned humans! This place will be our paradise later as long as we can pull the Nine Nether Death Qi to this world.”
”Has it been centuries or millennia, huh? We finally came out of the Nine Nether Underworld. I wanna kill! I want a massacre! So much! Comrades, let's prey on these blood meals! There are countless living and souls here waiting for us to devour!”
”Damn, I fucking love this place. I'm gonna build my own ghost domain here.”
”KILL THEM.”
”...”
A stream of black mist radiated from the underground. Shortly after, the black mist condensed and eventually formed a group of grotesque vengeful spirits. At first, their number was but a few, but with the passage of time, tens of thousands of vengeful spirits rushed out of the Nine Nether Underworld in just 10 minutes.
Tang Xiu finally understood what Yama had planned. But he never expected that this King of Hell would dare to release tens of thousands vengeful spirits and ghosts from the Nine Nether Underworld to the human world.
He kept observing and thinking.
After 10 minutes of silence, Tang Xiu finally determined the strength of the ghosts rushing into the human world. A ruthless and fierce expression appeared on his face as he streaked up high and stood in the air. He quickly gave several hand signals that caused the legionaries who rode the Aerogliders from the four major armies to go into action immediately.
”My Great Tang Empire's soldiers, today is the day for you to wipe out these ghosts!”
Tang Xiu unleashed his divine sword. Lightning bolt-like sword light instantly swept over towards the vengeful spirits nearby. The thousand-meter sword beam instantly destroyed hundreds of vengeful spirits. Only a few powerful ghosts were able to escape from the striking range of the sword beam after they were hit badly and seriously injured.
”KILL!”
”KILL!”
”KILL!
”KILL!”
Under Tang Xiu's command, the four major corps—the Dragon Army, Tiger Army, Phoenix Army, and Martial Army, launched a fierce attack on any vengeful spirits that appeared on the intense, fierce battlefield. Tang Xiu was not the only one who acted brazenly. Even Xue Yu, Old Blind, and Tang Guang, who led hundreds of hidden Assassination department members, began their killing frenzy against the ghosts.
Several kilometers away.
Yama's eyes flickered with fierce and sharp glints. Waving his hand, the experts of the Darkwind immediately lunged at the legionaries of the Great Tang Empire. Yama had injected Death Qi into their bodies, so the vengeful spirits did not target the Darkwind members when they ran into them.
Hence, Tang Xiu had to kill both men and ghosts.
However, he focused his attention on Yama. The moment this King of Hell got closer, he launched a heavy blow that killed hundreds of vengeful spirits and then appeared in front of Yama instantly.
”Didn't you want to see and taste my power before? This 9th hidden island is way too fragile for us. Come with me to the sea. There won't be a problem for us even if we blast a hole in the sky!” Tang Xiu stared daggers at Yama and shouted in a deep tone.
Yama narrowed his eyes. He could sense the boiling fighting intent coming from Tang Xiu and swiftly said, ”Tang Xiu, your Great Tang Empire leaves no way out for my Darkwind to survive, then I'll have you buried along with the dead. I'm gonna kill you today!”
His glove-covered fists instantly transformed into gigantic fist shadows hundreds of meters in size and powerfully barraged Tang Xiu in front. At the same time, his soft sword evolved into a dark artifact that turned into overlapping layers of sword shadows that attempted to devour Tang Xiu.
”Great Ascension Stage?”
Tang Xiu finally blasted out with his full power. His divine sword turned into a light dragon and instantly swallowed the gigantic fist shadows and the layers of sword shadows. At the same time, he directly cast his Devour divine ability. As a vortex-like force rapidly formed a twister storm in the surroundings, the vortex completely devoured Yama's strikes, and the strike instantly blasted toward Yama.
”What the hell is this?”
Yama's complexion greatly changed. Tang Xiu hadn't unleashed his power to the peak before, that was the reason he couldn't determine the extent of Tang Xiu's power. But at this moment, he could sense that Tang Xiu was tens of times stronger than him. He could even tell that Tang Xiu's cultivation level was at the Crossing Tribulation Stage.
The Crossing Tribulation Stage was a step away and the closest stage cultivators could get before becoming immortals. Once the Crossing Tribulation Stage cultivators successfully passed the Immortal Tribulation, they would transform and become genuine Immortals.
”I gotta run!”
Prior to this, Yama had two trump cards to face Tang Xiu. But his expertise in arrays was left in the dust compared to Tang Xiu. And now, even he must admit that there was a big gap between his strength and Tang Xiu's.
The battle had just begun, but he knew that he had already lost.
