Chapter 169 Another Battlefield

On the other side, in the Chaos Scorched Earth, before a certain Demon Gate…

Two players had been waiting there for quite some time.

They were waiting for none other than… Dou Mo.

"He's finally here." Xiao Ling's eyesight was extremely sharp. The moment Dou Mo's body, shrouded in demonic energy, appeared on the horizon, she immediately spotted him.

"More terrifying than I imagined…" Ruo Yu solemnly added.

Just as the two were speaking, Dou Mo also noticed them.

"Found them…" Dou Mo muttered under his breath.

The next second, he flashed in front of the two players at an incredible speed.

The reason Dou Mo said "found them" was because he had sensed the presence of [Bestowment of Sainthood] from a great distance, and thus had been drawn over.

"You… are the so-called 'travelers from another world', are you?" Dou Mo stopped about three meters in front of them, and said coldly.

"You shouldn't be seeing creatures like us for the first time, right?" Xiao Ling replied.

"Hmm?" Dou Mo hesitated for a few seconds, then thoughtfully added, "Oh… yes… the last soul I saw in the Gate of Emptiness… that insignificant creature who had his fear sealed and came seeking demonification, seems to be one of your kind…"

"His name… is Feng Bujue," Ruo Yu replied.

"Utterly boring…" Dou Mo's tone revealed undisguised disdain, "Your kind's names are not worth remembering at all."

However, Ruo Yu's next sentence immediately made Dou Mo change his mind.

"Your eyes are in Feng Bujue's hands," Ruo Yu said.

"You say…" At that moment, Dou Mo's voice suddenly changed, becoming high-pitched and domineering, "…What!"

Before the stern shout had stopped, demonic energy surged, and an invisible pressure immediately weighed down on the two players' shoulders.

"We don't intend to beat around the bush with you, so I'll get straight to the point…" At this time, Xiao Ling took over Ruo Yu's words and said to Dou Mo, "If you want your eyes back, you have to agree to one condition."

"'Let you live'… How about that condition?" Dou Mo replied.

"At this moment, besides us, there are five other travelers from another world on this Chaos Scorched Earth," Xiao Ling ignored Dou Mo's intimidation and continued on her own, "You do us a favor… send those five people out of this universe alive, and Feng Bujue will return your eyes to you."

"Absurd," Dou Mo replied, "What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?" He paused for a second, then added, "Even if I never find my eyes again… I am invincible."

"Is that so…" Ruo Yu immediately replied in an icy tone, "Then we have nothing to talk about."

"Yeah, yeah~ Then let's just go our separate ways." Xiao Ling also put on an indifferent look, "You should also understand… we're just projections, killing us doesn't mean much. Since you think it doesn't matter if you don't have eyes, then let's just pretend we didn't say anything."

"Tch…" Dou Mo spat, "Cunning creatures… You already knew, didn't you…"

Dou Mo smelled a hint of confidence from the other party's attitude.

"We don't know much, but it's enough," Xiao Ling replied with a smile, "Anyway, according to our guild leader… oh, that is, Feng Bujue said… because your power is too strong, your demonic energy cannot maintain a stable form without your eyes. Over time, you will be slowly 'digested' by this universe. At that time… you will only have two choices: one is to watch yourself weaken continuously until you disappear; the other is to return to the Gate of Emptiness and reseal yourself…"

"That 'Feng Bujue', can actually grasp this kind of information…" Dou Mo muttered.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Alright… I accept your conditions. As long as I send those five people out of this universe, right?"

"Please pay attention to the premise of 'alive'…" Ruo Yu responded.

"No problem," Dou Mo replied, "Whether they live or die… it's all as easy as flipping my hand."

"Very good." As Xiao Ling spoke, she took out a black metal pellet from her pocket and threw it to Dou Mo, "Then please also flip your palm and send them to a specific plane."

"This is…" Dou Mo casually caught the pellet and looked at it in front of his eyes, "Hmph… It seems that many interesting things have appeared in the years I've been sealed…"

What Xiao Ling and the others handed over was naturally the black iron pellet generated by Xiao Tan's [Captain's Summons]. With the ability of a super-high-level being like Dou Mo, it was not difficult to understand the characteristics of the item.

"Then… how do I know that you will keep your promise?" Two seconds later, Dou Mo asked, "Or rather… how can I be sure that my eyes are really in the hands of the man you mentioned?"

"Spare us the extra probing," Ruo Yu did not answer his question, but replied with such a sentence.

"Yeah, you know in your heart whether we're lying or not, don't you?" Xiao Ling also said.

Indeed, Dou Mo could see through lies; since he could even perceive the "fear" and "helplessness" of other creatures, then discerning lies through emotions… was obviously not a problem.

During Jue Ge's brief contact with Dou Mo, Jue Ge had deduced this point… so he also informed Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling in advance that there was no need to "beat around the bush" with Dou Mo.

"Hmm…" Dou Mo pondered for a moment, then replied, "Alright… I hope you know what you're doing."

…………

Time, rewinds slightly…

Let us turn our attention back to the data link layer, that is, the "white space."

The combined skill that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Gods had been reading for three chapters was finally about to be unleashed.

[Name: Mingfei Huosha Array] (Living Massacre Array of the Nether Gates)

[Skill Card Attribute: Combination Skill, disappears after activation]

[Skill Category: Combat, Spiritual Arts, Summoning]

[Effect: Gathers the power of four people to activate the array of guardians of the underworld]

[Consumption: 2000 Stamina Value, 200 Spirit Value per person]

[Activation Condition: Requires four players with Combat Specialization A or above and who have activated Summoning Specialization, with at least one person having Spiritual Arts Specialization A or above, and any one party being no more than thirty meters away from another]

[Remarks: An array to guard the gates of the underworld, co-created by the gods of the heavens and the underworld, its power looks down on the three realms, even gods and Buddhas dare not approach it recklessly.]

"Whoa~ This welcoming ceremony is really grand." The moment Link saw the data stream of the combination skill, he quickly fled from Infinite's side, because… even he didn't want to take this move head-on.

Two seconds later, a mirage-like spectacle suddenly appeared in mid-air.

In front of Infinite, a towering, solemn, and eerie huge gate appeared.

Black clouds surrounded the gate, with countless ghostly shadows spiraling and dancing, and bursts of mournful wails emanated from within the gate.

"Hmph… the performance effect is not bad." Infinite would not retreat because of this visual impact, "But I wonder what the actual power is like…"

*Tzz-*

Before he could finish his words, a ray of light flashed and cut off half of his head.

The part of Infinite above his nose was cut off and flew up, before it could even fall, it was burned into ashes by a faint nether flame.

The next second, a giant figure with the body of a dog-headed man and wielding a long-handled giant axe appeared behind Infinite.

The blade of the giant axe in his hand was still stained with Infinite's blood (all the liquids in Infinite's body were a kind of light-emitting, water-textured substance).

"That's Anubis…" Link, who was watching from the sidelines, said with a smile, "Heh… He looks very intimidating, but unfortunately, he alone… cannot pose a threat to Infinite."

He was right. In the two seconds after Anubis appeared, Infinite's self-healing had already begun, and his severed head was rapidly regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye…

"You guys… seem to really like attacking my head…" He immediately regained the ability to speak, and said with a relaxed tone of mockery.

However, before Infinite could finish speaking, two more strange shadows suddenly appeared beside him.

One… a Minotaur, with two bull hooves, strong enough to move mountains, holding a steel fork.

The other… a horse-faced human, with two iron horse hooves, tall and sturdy, holding a spear.

This pair of partners can be said to be well-known. They are consistently selected as the best employees of the underworld, never late or leaving early, resolutely implement the instructions of their leaders, and dare to tie back even the Great Sage Equaling Heaven if they have orders from above.

"What kind of evildoer!"

"Dares to be presumptuous here!"

As soon as they spoke, the weapons in the hands of the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced men had already come out with the momentum.

These two ghost soldiers were worthy of being grassroots law enforcement personnel who had been fighting on the front line for many years, and they did not hesitate to act… that machine-gun-like hand speed, and livestock-like strength…

In just five seconds, they had stabbed and poked Infinite's entire body into a hornet's nest.

Their colleague Anubis was not idle either. He skillfully swung his giant axe and slashed wildly at the various joints on Infinite's body.

"So… there's more than one…" Link's smile became a little stiff, "But even if three monsters of that strength come…"

Before his flag could be set, the fourth strange shadow also appeared.

That… was a strong man with a pig's head, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.

"It seems I've been summoned to a strange occasion…" Oink muttered to himself after his appearance, "Oh well… I can be considered one of the gatekeepers of the underworld anyway, I still have to do what I have to do…"

With that, he rushed into battle with his knife.

As a professional butcher, Oink's knife skills were much better than the other three. A small kitchen knife in his hand… was simply more lethal than a chainsaw.

Chopping, slashing, hacking, cutting… the Second Senior Brother's set of practiced combos turned the already disintegrating Infinite into a mass of scattered meat paste.

"Wow, this skill is a bit exaggerated."

"The four great gods of the gods are indeed extraordinary…"

"It's hard to imagine what kind of scene this move would be if it were used on a person."

"In any case, the other party is dead this time, right…"

"Of course, no creature with a physical body could withstand this intensity and density of continuous attacks."

The other players present were amazed by the terrifying power and performance effect of the [Mingfei Huosha Array], and they almost all recognized Infinite's defeat and death.

But…

There was one person who did not think so.

"Something's not right…" At this time, Shiva's [Eye of Destruction] on his forehead had already opened, but he did not find what he wanted to search for, "The core… is there?"

The Eye of Destruction could achieve microscopic imaging effects in a local area, and even bacteria-sized substances that were invisible to the naked eye could be found.

However, even with the support of this eye, Shiva still could not find Infinite's core…

"The self-healing has not stopped, and it's faster than the corrosion speed of the nether flames." In that fleeting moment, many thoughts flashed through Shiva's mind, "And every tiny fragment is self-healing, making it impossible to determine which piece the core is hidden in…"

Just as he was thinking, the duration of the [Mingfei Huosha Array] had ended.

The spectacle in the sky and the four fierce gods all dissipated like smoke, leaving behind a sky full of scattered meat pieces and luminous liquid.

"Hehe… good." Link chuckled twice and added, "If not for this… I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to recognize how terrifying Infinite really is."

As he spoke, the floating fragments suddenly gathered and instantly took shape.

In just a breath, Infinite was restored to his original state.

"That really hurt…" His tone already revealed murderous intent, "Then… I'll 'say hello' to you guys too."

With that, Infinite stretched out a finger and pointed it at the crowd on the ground…
