True Immortal of the Netherworld

A dark world.

The sky was dyed gray by conspirators.

Empty streets.

A ball of wind was swirling on the ground, chasing a fallen leaf in mid-air.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at one end of the street.

The person was coming at an extremely fast speed and could not see his face clearly. All he could see was the corners of his clothes that were flying around chasing his body.

"stop!"

Amidst the sound of scolding, a hunchbacked old woman wearing a gray toga stopped in the middle of the street.

The old woman held a solitary wayfinding lamp in her left hand, which emitted a ball of orange light through the paper lampshade, reflecting the grimace on the toes of her shoes, grinning.

The man who appeared on the street did not stop, as if he did not hear the old woman's scolding at all.

"The dark world, the miserable souls of the dead, the lonely lamp locking the soul..."

The hunchbacked old woman recited a secret mantra and at the same time reached forward to reach out for the lone lamp in her hand.

The solitary lamp immediately flashed a dazzling light and made a hen-like clatter, throwing out an orange fire egg the size of a fist.

The orange fire egg rolled in the air, fell to the ground, and a two-foot-tall flame ghost jumped out.

The flame ghost looks like a chicken, has no arms, but has a pair of flexible fire wings. There is a ghost talisman affixed to its chest, with the word "egg" written in the middle of the ghost talisman.

"Troublemaker, lock this lonely soul running away on the street!" The hunchbacked old woman squeezed out cold words.

When the flame ghost man heard the sound, he jumped up, pulled out a wisp of fire breath from behind, and rushed towards the far end of the street. He rushed in front of the man in just a few ups and downs.

On the street, the speeding figure did not stop, and did not even glance sideways at the attacking flame ghost man.

The flame ghost spread its wings, and the wings vibrated and sprayed out flaming shackles to cover it.

The man could no longer dodge.

Raise your hand, punch out, thunder.

A ball of golden arc exploded on the body of the flame ghost man.

The menacing flame ghost instantly turned into powder, and scattered orange sparks illuminated a large area of ​​space.

The ghost talisman originally attached to the ghost man's chest was messy in mid-air, and suddenly ignited spontaneously. The word "egg" on it struggled, turned into a twisted grimace, and then turned into ashes.

Everything happened so fast, the space on the street just flashed and turned gray again.

"Huh?"

The hunchbacked old woman let out a surprise, and quickly shook the lantern in her hand, and a fire tornado sprang out and enveloped her body.

When the fire light dissipated‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎, she was gone.

On another street.

The hunchbacked old woman stopped in front of the man.

She raised the lone lamp in her hand upwards, and the lone lamp cast an orange light, illuminating the face of the visitor.

The person who came was a young man in green clothes, with broken hair and handsome appearance.

The old woman looked at the opposite side and was stunned for a moment. A pair of pupils sunken into her eye sockets quietly flashed an imperceptible light.

"You are not a revenant."

"of course not."

"I haven't seen a living person in this dark world of mud for a hundred years. I almost forgot what a living person looks like."

"Didn't you see this?"

"Young man, tell me your name. According to the rules here, everyone killed by me must be recorded."

"My name is Xu Yang."

"Xu Yang! Do you know that it is a death penalty for a living person to break into the dark world of Ni Po?"

"I'm here to find someone."

"No living person can exist here except me, only the souls of the dead passing by."

"Really? In that case, why didn't I see any souls along the way?"

"The Dark World of Nipo is the only way to the land of hell. According to the rules here, the souls of the dead cannot stay. Anyone who lingers will be captured by the soul-catching lamp in my hand."

When Xu Yang heard this, his eyes fell on the soul-catching lamp in the old woman's hand.

"Using soul-stirring magic weapons to deal with helpless souls, don't you think it's cruel to do so?"

"Tsk tsk, are you accusing me?" The old woman curled her lips, "In the entire underworld, no one dares to talk to me like this except the Lord of the Underworld."

Xu Yang did not continue to argue with the old woman about this issue, but took out a scroll from his arms.

He immediately unfolded the scroll, revealing a picture of a beauty in front of flowers.

The flowers are white, and so is the beauty's dress.

Flowers are beautiful, and so are beauties.

Xu Yang changed his tone and said respectfully: "Master Ni Po, have you ever seen the face in this painting?"

The old woman stared at the beauty in the painting, and then asked, "Are you asking me for someone else?"

Xu Yang nodded slightly and said, "I sincerely ask for advice."

The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "It is already a capital crime for you to break into the dark world of Ni Po. A person who is about to die only needs to know how he died. There is no need to ask anything else."

Xu Yang carefully collected the painting.

This painting was a gift specially left for Bai Mujin before he went into retreat when he was in the Tiangui Sect. It was particularly precious to him.

Xu Yang asked: "What if I don't want to die?"

"The rules here! It's not up to you!"

Before she finished speaking, the old woman jumped forward suddenly, raised the lone lamp in her hand and stabbed forward, carrying the ghost of fire howling.

Xu Yang seemed to have been prepared for it. A pair of golden thunder wings spread out from his back, and with a crackling sound, he reached high in the sky.

The old woman's move failed, she tapped the ground with her toes, and with a snap, the man chased him to a high place.

The two stood facing each other in the air.

Xu Yang said: "If you want to kill me, do it here. Otherwise, the streets below will be destroyed and innocent people will be hurt."

The old woman asked: "Are you afraid of hurting the lost soul of the person in the painting?"

Xu Yang asked back: "It's not bad even if it hurts the flowers and plants, right?"

The old woman's lips curled into a sneer: "Interesting!"

Immediately, the two started fighting in the air.

The old woman held a solitary lamp, and every time she moved her hand, a ghost of fire would come out.

Xu Yang mobilized the power of golden thunder in his body and used the golden thunder spell to intercept.

All the incoming fire ghost powers will be exploded by the Golden Thunder Curse about three feet in front of Xu Yang, without damaging his body at all.

"Young man, you still have some tricks up your sleeve."

After the old woman finished speaking, she lit up the lone lamp in her hand one after another.

"Fire Escape-Ninety-Eight Fire Ghost Formation!"

Boom boom boom!

Ninety-eight fire ghosts sprang out in a row, surrounding Xu Yang from top to bottom, left and right, and formed a formation in the blink of an eye.

"Purgatory of will-o'-the-wisp! Refining!" The old woman made a hand seal and pointed out one after another, and the ninety-eight fire ghosts burned violently.

Viewed from a distance, it looks like a huge fire egg floating in the air.

Xu Yang, who was trapped in the middle of the "fire egg", was smiling, clasping his hands together, and his body was ignited by the incoming fire breath.

The old woman sneered when she saw Xu Yang's body being ignited in the last crack.

After a while, the huge fire egg shrank rapidly, and finally turned into a small fireball and shattered, scattering orange sparks for a day.

The old woman looked at the empty void opposite, and there was no trace of Xu Yang.

"The whole body could have been left intact, but it's all your own fault."

After speaking, the old woman took out a folded book with the words "Record of Killings" written on the cover.

The old woman used one finger as a pen to write the name "Xu Yang" on the "Record of Killings".

But after writing the word "Xu", the old woman's hand stopped.

"Oh, this guy's surname is Xu, but which "Yang" is "Yang"? The Yang of the sun? The sheep of the sheep? The poplar of the poplar tree? The ocean of the ocean?"

The old woman's hand holding the pen was trembling, and then her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

"My obsessive-compulsive disorder has broken out."

At this moment, a voice came from behind the old woman.

"Xu Xu Qingfeng Xu, proud of Yang." Xu Yang deliberately changed his name by one word and said it loudly.

When the old woman heard this, she immediately stopped shaking, smiled happily, and said without looking back, "Thank you very much."

The word "Xu Yang" was written on the killing record.

The old woman finally understood what was going on. She turned her head suddenly and saw Xu Yang's body looking at her not far away, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Didn't your kid get burned to death?"

"You can't kill me."

The old woman clenched it with one hand, and the book of killings was crushed to pieces.

"Really? What I hate most in my life is someone telling me that I can't kill him."

The old woman glanced at the streets and houses on the ground, thinking:

"This boy Xu Yang is not only a master of the golden thunder technique, but he also has no flaws in his clone technique. And if I want to kill him in a short time, I must find his flaws. The person in the painting is probably in his heart Concern is his flaw.”

A sneer appeared on the corner of the old woman's lips, and she said: "The person you are looking for may be on a certain street or in a certain house below. I want to destroy them all now."

When Xu Yang heard this, a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on his face, "How dare you!"

The old woman's figure rushed downwards.

The golden thunder wings behind Xu Yang flapped and he stopped in front of the old woman.

Next, the two collided dozens of times in mid-air, like two hawks fighting each other.

Every time the old woman's figure dropped three feet, she would be pushed back three feet by Xu Yang's fists and kicks.

The two struggled, but the old woman couldn't fall back to the ground.

The old woman's figure suddenly turned upwards and shouted: "Watch out, young man!"

She threw the lantern in her hand, pinched the magic formula with both hands, and lit it on the lantern like a wheel.

The solitary lantern swelled in an instant, reaching a size of three feet. ‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎

Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of natal essence from the old woman fell on the surface of the Gudeng magic weapon.

Lone Deng cackled non-stop, and then spit out a huge "fire egg".

The "Fire Egg" broke out of its shell, and a hundred-foot-long flame dragon got out.

The body of the flame dragon was covered with strange spells, and it shot straight down.

"Fire Escape-Fire Dragon!"

Xu Yang originally practiced the ghost path and the fire attribute body. Kidō Fire Release was what he was good at, and he immediately saw the terrifying nature of the opponent's technique.

"The detonating talisman blessed by the Fire Dragon Technique is compressed with some special seal, at least hundreds of millions. Not to mention exploding on the ground, it explodes in mid-air, and everything on the ground will be reduced to nothing. If Hibiscus is really still down there, we’ll be in trouble.”

A pair of golden thunder wings flapped wildly behind Xu Yang's back, and his body turned into an arc of electricity, blocking the fire dragon decisively.

He lay horizontally in mid-air, clenched his fists tightly, and punched upwards.

After punching out, a ball of red fire rolled and turned into a firebird with a golden crown and long neck, soaring into the starry sky of fire.

"Fire Release - Fire Feather Suzaku!"

As soon as Xu Yang took action, he blessed the power of Dao Realm Great Ming Suzaku, which required borrowing some of A'Zhu's power to achieve such a perfect level.

The next moment, the two fire escape techniques collided in mid-air.

High in the sky, the violent dragon fire did not explode, but became entangled with the Suzaku fire and burned each other.

The sky becomes a big furnace.

After a long time, the flames burned out, and the power of both sides' spells disappeared.

Miraculously, this process made almost no loud noise and no harm.

Except that the void became boiling hot, not even a single plant or tree on the street was damaged.

The old woman was surprised when she saw that her own fire escape was easily resolved by the opponent using the same fire escape:

"This boy named Xu, what he just controlled was clearly the Suzaku Fire, and the grade was not low. He used the nirvana power of the Suzaku Fire to melt the billions of detonating runes on my Fire Dragon Technique. This Suzaku Fire is simply me The nemesis of the art of light.”

Xu Yang said: "What? Since you can't kill me, you should change your rules."

The old woman snorted coldly and said, "Young man, don't be too proud."

Her figure flashed, and her body actually got into the solitary lamp.

The solitary lantern split into two, two into four, four into eight... and soon filled the sky.

There are thousands of solitary lanterns connected in an array.

"Array - Lonely Lantern Wandering Soul!"

In an instant, a powerful force of formation was thrown out.

The void suddenly shook.

Xu Yang only felt a flash before his eyes. When he saw the scenery clearly, the lone lamp was gone, but there were thousands more figures in white.

Every figure in white looks like a "white hibiscus".

"Xu Yang, have you come to see me?"

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Why did you come?"

"It's really cold in the underworld."

"Come here and give me a hug, okay?"

...

The calls one after another hit Xu Yang's eardrums and reached his soul.

In just a moment, Xu Yang's pupils turned orange.

Xu Yang was stunned on the spot, his eyes were full of the shadow of the person he was dreaming about, and he murmured: "Hibiscus, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Tears rushed out of Xu Yang's eyes.

Suddenly, the situation changed dramatically.

The beauties in white clothes in the sky turned fiery red, their gentle breath disappeared, and their bodies were filled with fire.

Thousands of flame "beauties" threw flame chains and covered Xu Yang's location.

Puff puff!

The three chains that rushed forward penetrated Xu Yang's collarbone.

The corners of Xu Yang's mouth were red, and his body was shaking involuntarily, but he had no intention of dodging.

He looked disappointed and apologetic, as if he was willing to accept punishment.

"Hibiscus, hibiscus, hibiscus..." Xu Yang kept repeating Hibiscus's name.

At this time, the old woman's true body quietly appeared aside, with a proud look on her lips, and said to herself:

"Although Xu Yang's body is overbearing, I have found a weak spot in my heart. My ecstasy lamp array is blessed with the unique power of the lost law. Anyone who is attacked will lose the ability to resist."

Just then, the situation changed again.

The book of life and death in the Zifu space in Xu Yang's body disappeared.

The next moment, a black and white book appeared above his head.

The Book of Black and White opens a new chapter.

"The law of life and death - wheel!"

The shadow of a huge black and white book suddenly appeared in the void.

The flame chains that were shot at Xu Yang's body were swallowed up by the shadow of the huge book page, and no longer caused any harm to Xu Yang's body.

"It's the book of life and death!" the old woman exclaimed, and the figure disappeared in a flash.

Thousands of flaming beauties disappeared, the shadows of the huge pages disappeared, and the sky became quiet.

mid-air.

The old woman held the solitary lamp forward and held it out, but the tip of the solitary lamp stopped just inches away from Xu Yang's throat.

The old woman's body trembled, and bright red overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, Xu Yang had a Ruyi stick in his hand, and the end of the stick pierced the old woman's heart slightly.

Her heart veins were sealed, and the old woman could no longer move.

The orange color in Xu Yang's pupils completely dissipated and became clear again. His chest rose and fell, and he gasped for air. He was secretly glad in his heart:

"If I hadn't saved a backup plan and used the dolphin brain splitting technique to activate the Book of Life and Death in advance, I would have completely failed just now. With my current ability, I can only use 10% of the power of the laws in the Book of Life and Death, but this is enough. "

The old woman stared at Xu Yang fiercely.

"You can kill me, but it's impossible to get information from me, unless?" The old woman hesitated to speak.

"Unless what?"

"Unless you give me one hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones."

"make a deal!"

The two of them took back the sharp weapons in their hands at the same time, and each performed a little exercise, and the external injuries on their bodies disappeared.

The old woman looked Xu Yang up and down with eyes like a dry well, and said:

"Master Xu Yang, although your cultivation level is only at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, your physical strength and combat power are not inferior to those of the real Void Immortal Realm. Moreover, your physical strength is also a pure ghost Dao physical strength. In the underworld, you can have someone like you. The most powerful ones are all Plutos. Could it be that you are a certain Pluto who is hiding from the world?"

"I'm not Pluto." Xu Yang's answer was decisive.

The old woman stopped asking questions.

Xu Yang took out two Qiankun bags from his arms and handed them over.

"Master Ni Po, here are all the spiritual stones on my body." Xu Yang shook the two Qiankun bags in his hand, making a clattering sound. "Each bag contains 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones. One of them Even if it costs me one life, the other one will be the cost of asking for directions.”

When the old woman saw Xu Yang giving her a step, she grabbed the two Qiankun bags and held them in her hands. She glanced at them with her consciousness and laughed.

Xu Yang nodded: "Please accept it."

The old woman put away the Qiankun bag, took a step forward, and whispered:

"When I first saw the young master, I knew you were a noble man. I was appointed by the Lord Pluto to guard this mud ‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎ Dark World. In addition to the title of grandma, I also wanted to get some spiritual stones to make a living. But in the past hundred years, the resources of spiritual stones in the underworld have been increasingly exhausted. By ten years ago, my salary was no longer available to me. That’s the sound of spring water, which is very thirst-quenching.”

Xu Yang smiled slightly.

"Take it and use it. Now can you tell me where the person in the portrait is or where he has gone?"

"The Ni Po Dark World is dedicated to collecting information about every soul that enters the underworld. Anyone who passes by will be recorded. Your question, sir, obviously violates the rules here. However? For the sake of the spirit stone, I You can tell Young Master some secretly."

"Speaking."

"Please sir, lend me one of your hands."

Xu Yang stretched out a hand and spread his palm.

The old woman used one finger as a pen and wrote seriously on Xu Yang's palm.

When his finger fell, fiery strokes flashed out, and then the handwriting quickly disappeared.

After a while, the old woman stopped.

"Mr. Xu Yang, I didn't tell you anything." The old woman sent the message and then took a step back.

Xu Yang kept the content of the text in his heart, but his expression was complicated.

The old woman seemed to know what Xu Yang was thinking. She flipped her wrist, held out a colorful glass bottle in her palm, and said:

"Although the three souls and seven souls of the beauty that the young master is looking for have disappeared, if there is enough time, you can still use the prayer bottle in my hand to take it back. As long as the three souls and seven souls are still there, there may not be a chance to change everything. It just depends on the opportunity, Mr.

Xu Yang took the colorful glass bottle with both hands and put it away, saying, "Thank you, Lord Ni Po, for your advice."

Without stopping, Xu Yang turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

The old woman looked at the empty street with a sly smile on her face.

"In this world, there really is someone who looks exactly like Lord Pluto. Young man, I wish you good luck."

Suddenly, sparks ignited on the old woman's body. The sparks faded away, and the originally hunchbacked old woman turned into a tall, young and beautiful woman in palace attire.

The lone lamp in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and a ball of fire arose.

The lone lamp disappeared, and a boy who was only three feet tall, with an upturned braid on his head, and a breath of jumping fire appeared on his body. There was also an eye-catching "egg" on his chest.

The Flame Boy looked at the direction Xu Yang disappeared and said:

"Master, the guy named Xu Yang just now is the second person I have ever seen who survived after challenging you."

The woman sneered, and then said:

"I am not at the peak level now, otherwise I should be able to at least tie with Xu Yang. As for that time I fought against the man who later became the master of Pluto, I was completely defeated."

The flame boy said: "Master, you were once the King of Hades, one of the ten palaces of the underworld. You are very powerful."

The woman rolled her eyes at the flame boy and said, "Are you complimenting me?"

The flame boy spread his hands and nodded.

The woman looked in the direction where Xu Yang disappeared in trance.

After a while, she took a long breath and said:

"Three hundred years ago, the conspirator who ruled Pluto told me that there would be a person who looked exactly like him passing by the Dark World of Nipo. If that person can defeat me, let him pass. If he can't defeat me, kill him. Got him.

In order to complete this task, I have been guarding this terrible place in the Nipo Dark World for three hundred years. Now that the mission is completed, it's time for me to go find him and untie the shackles of the cursed seal on my body. When the time comes, I will have the opportunity to restore my body to the Shenyan realm, and I may not be able to challenge him again. "

After the woman finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head to the sky and let out a scream.

"Ke-ke--", the sound was like a golden rooster breaking at dawn.

A shock wave erupted, dazzling white light flashed, and the surrounding streets and houses were turned into powder.

"Ahem," the woman coughed and blood started to flow from the corner of her mouth.

The flame boy on the side said quickly: "Master, you just suffered some internal injuries. You were too excited, which is not good for your injuries."

After saying that, he handed over a bamboo pipe pot.

The woman took the pipe pot and wiped it skillfully on the flame boy's head. "Borrow a fire."

The woman held the pipe and started smoking.

After the tobacco burned out, the woman knocked the pot of the pipe on the flame boy's head.

The flame boy's face became dirty, he rolled his eyes and did not dare to speak.

"Let's go, I'm a little tired, you carry me." The woman said calmly.

"Okay!" The flame boy rolled on the spot and turned into a flame hen the size of a horse.

The woman jumped on the back of the flame hen and walked away.

...

Xu Yang left the dark world of Nipo and walked quickly.
