Jing Xue Ying Hong Zhu
Chapter 49 Mixed Doubles
The ghost flames traveled along Luke's arm, instantly engulfing his entire body.
Luke, burned all over by the ghost flames, didn't panic at all.
He immediately used his signature dodging technique: the evasive roll.
Instantly, the scorching ghost flames all over Luke's body dissipated.
The Shadowless Hand was horrified. He thought, "This... this is too shameless. Just by doing a roll, my Netherworld ghost flames lost their power."
"Damn! What kind of setting is this? Just because Luke is the protagonist, he can do whatever he wants?"
After Luke finished rolling, he charged towards the Shadowless Hand again. "Since your shield can block my power punch, how much can you withstand my palm strike?"
Luke rushed into the Shadowless Hand's inner attack perimeter, instantly leaping and pressing down, slamming a palm onto the Shadowless Hand's crown, forcefully pushing him down!
Bang!
Luke directly pressed the Shadowless Hand into the ground. The part of his body taking the force, along with the shield, was pressed into the ground as well.
Luke seized the opportunity, unleashing a burst of heroic punches on the Shadowless Hand's back, a chaotic barrage.
The Shadowless Hand cried out in a shrill voice, "Wah...woo-ah! Ah! Ah! Ah..."
Luke became more and more energetic as he fought, and soon the Shadowless Hand was pounded more than a meter deep into the earth by Luke.
Seeing this scene, Ye Cang smiled to himself, "My friend has always been upright and sincere, and never takes advantage of others. It's precisely because Luke is this kind of person that he has suffered a lot in the past."
"But today, he actually chose to attack the Shadowless Hand's weakness for my sake, in order to achieve a quick victory. It seems that my friend is not only sincere, but also an extremely serious man who values brotherhood!"
After a flurry of wild punches, Luke finally stopped attacking.
Looking at the Shadowless Hand, who had been pounded into the ground, his whole body was twitching, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot.
His mouth was foaming with saliva, mixed with blood flowing out in a stream.
Ye Cang came over, took a look at the Shadowless Hand, and said, "Friend, quickly finish him off. Look... he's been beaten into an epileptic fit by you, it's too pitiful to watch. You should just finish him off, to save him from such pain."
Luke hesitated for a moment, still unable to bring himself to do it.
Ye Cang glanced at Luke, seeing that he was still pondering!
Ye Cang quickly took a step forward, pushing his body's center of gravity forward, his right knee pressed tightly against his ribs, "Chronospace Zero Domain – Night Blaze Stomp!"
Boom!
Ye Cang's stomp instantly created a white-blue starlight pillar on the Shadowless Hand's face, reaching all the way to the dim, lightless dome of the sky.
In an instant, the entire Underworld was as bright as the moon, with boundless light, as if it had the ambition to illuminate the entire sky.
Wherever the light shone, Ye Cang was... like a star, like the moon, like a wisp of flame clearing after a drizzle, flickering in the night sky of the Underworld.
Dim and sorrowful ghosts wailing, dark birds chirping, pecking at death's marks.
The Underworld Palace...
A dim blood moon hung in the night sky, like a little girl with a deathly pale face, mottled lines and patches of wrinkled skin, stiff and trembling.
Shadows flickered around, crows cawing in alarm. The ancient, retro-style Chinese palace corridors appeared and disappeared, as if there were a pair of eerie eyes.
You are gazing at it, and it is also watching you.
In the wind, a chill pierced through the body, stabbing into the bones, as if a millennia-old frost had been suddenly released.
On the throne in the center of the main hall of the Underworld, a person wearing bronze armor casually looked up at the sky and said, "Jian Jue was actually killed by two little brats."
"Hmm? No, that's not right! The Shadowless Hand is also dead... Interesting, very interesting."
The person on the throne stood up.
He was wearing a full set of armor, covering his entire body, helmet and forehead guard, but without a face. The color of his entire head was dark blue, deep and hollow.
On his chest, torso, elbow joints, and wrist joints, there was a dark blue glow. On his back, a circular divine wheel, like a gear, was both terrifying and unique!
The serrated teeth on the ring-shaped short-handled scythe in his hand still had a dark blue glow.
He walked to the teleportation array in the courtyard of the main hall and called out, "Where are the Eastern Territory Guards?"
In a moment, the teleportation array emitted a dark blue light.
Then, a person appeared from within the array. This person was the head of the four territories, the Eastern Territory Guard, named Heng Qiu.
This person was tall and mighty, dressed in a style similar to the Norse gods, wild and bold.
His hair was reddish-brown, with two drooping mustache hanging down to his neck. The two rectangular, angular war hammers in his hands emitted a silver glow.
Heng Qiu bowed on one knee, "My respected Ghost King, what are your orders?"
So, this person with the dark blue glow, the one with extreme presence, was the Ghost King.
The Ghost King looked at the western region and ordered, "Something has happened in the western region. Jian Jue is dead, and the Shadowless Hand of the northern region is also dead. You quickly go to the western region and kill anyone who has trespassed without permission."
Heng Qiu immediately lowered his head, "As you command, my beloved Ghost King."
Whoosh!
The Eastern Territory Guard, Heng Qiu, arrived in the western region of the Underworld.
Heng Qiu appeared, and Luke and Ye Cang looked at this person in confusion.
Ye Cang took the lead in asking loudly, "Hey! Uncle! Why are you only wearing a silver armor diaper? Also, why are you showing off your thighs? And! This armor, when worn on your body, makes it seem like it's a bit lightweight!"
Heng Qiu thought to himself, "Isn't this just an idiot... Could it be that the Shadowless Hand and Jian Jue died at the hands of these two idiots?"
"You two little brats, did you kill Jian Jue and the Shadowless Hand?" Heng Qiu asked suspiciously.
Ye Cang raised his head and puffed out his chest, patting his chest like a child, and replied, "It was me, bro! I killed them! One was knocked down with one punch, and one was stomped to death, gone to see God! Joined the Jesus crew..."
Heng Qiu heard this and looked serious, "Since you have the strength to kill them both. Then... I have no reason to hold back against you..."
Ye Cang glanced at Luke, indicating that he would take the field in this duel.
Luke understood and turned around, taking a few steps back.
Crows screeched across the sky, tearing through the thunderous clouds, and the stench of blood permeated the silent western region of the Underworld. The battleground, which had just been noisy, and the wailing that had just dissipated, now bloomed again in the wind.
Ye Cang was just about to make the first move, intending to strike first.
Who knew that Ye Cang wasn't the only one with this idea.
Heng Qiu, the head of the four territories, leaped up, and brown smoke billowed from his body.
He swung a hammer, descending from the sky.
Ye Cang suddenly felt the pressure in the wind was extremely powerful, enough to destroy him.
Whoosh!
Ye Cang hurriedly teleported back, creating distance. Then, he teleported again in front of Heng Qiu, "Chronospace Zero Domain – Reverse Scale!"
Ye Cang unleashed a high-position right spin kick, twisting his waist and kicking against the momentum.
The Reverse Scale technique drew a semi-circular trajectory in the air, and the movement was smooth and fluent.
Bang!
Heng Qiu's face immediately became unbearably painful, and several teeth in his mouth were shattered and flew out.
