Chapter 272 - Earth-Destroying Array (2/2)

In front of him, the figure was getting faster. Even though all of them were now giving chase at top speed, they could only faintly see the back of the figure.

Lonemoon gritted his teeth and started to increase his speed.

“Father Niu!” Shen Ying suddenly reached out and pulled him back.

Lonemoon almost fell off his sword. “Shen Ying, you-”

“There’s a river!” She exclaimed, as she pulled Xuan Tong and Bai Ze back as well.

The Yin River!

Lonemoon stiffened. It slipped his mind that such a thing existed in the Underworld. He looked at the figure that was now just a white dot in the distance and became more anxious. “We need to make our way around-”

“Too slow!” He was just about to suggest for Shen Ying to bring them around the river, when she interrupted him.

Lonemoon’s heart sank. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his gut. “Wait, Shen Ying, you’re not…”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt his collar tighten. Suddenly, he was speeding past everything. The surroundings became a blur of lines as the wind blew strongly past his ear. Beside him were three others, who were also being dragged along in a similar manner as he was.

The four of them: “…”

In a blink of an eye, the man who was just a white dot moments ago became a discernible figure once more. With another whir, they found themselves standing in front of the man in white.

He was an elderly man dressed in white robes, with white hair and a white beard. He wore a hint of a smile and looked like a friendly old grandfather. There was not a hint of evil on his face. He did not look like someone who would be interested in destroying the Underworld.

“It’s you!” The elderly man frowned as he looked at Lonemoon. He did not look panicked at all, as if he had been expecting this all along. “My predictions were right. You’re the greatest variable.”

“You know… blurgh!” Before Lonemoon could finish his sentence, his expression changed. His delayed motion sickness suddenly took hold of him as he turned around and vomited. His entire face turned green.

His reaction seemed to trigger everyone else as well. Yi Qing, Bai Ze and Shortie turned around one by one and began to vomit as well. All of them puked even their gastric juices up.

Just like that, the scene was set with two people facing each other and four others puking uncontrollably.

Shen Ying: “…”

The elderly man: “…”

The atmosphere was extremely awkward…

-_-|||

He knew this would happen. Shen Ying was too freaking fast! Lonemoon quickly conjured several spells and finally suppressed the urge to continue vomiting. He turned to look at the man in front of him. “Who exactly are-”

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ze – who had also regained his composure – exclaimed, “Supreme Divinity Hongyu!”
