Chapter 1717: Chapter 1717

When revealing your true face, you never intended to let Jerris go. Your identity is top secret, hidden deeply because you fear future enemies, even those from the Netherworld, might find your family and use them as leverage.

Whether it was Jerris’s previous words and actions or everything he does now, he must die!

Thinking of this, you, who were rushing forward, suddenly grabbed a table in front of you with your left hand and slammed it fiercely at Jerris. However, Jerris’s body instantly turned gaseous, the table passed through harmlessly, then lunged at you!

This was the first time you saw Jerris’s superpowers. Previously, the intel suggested Jerris’s ability was to control poisonous gas and to be immune to all kinds of toxins. But now it was clear his power evolved to a point where he could instantly become gaseous! Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵

The gas quickly condensed into Jerris’s head, angrily shouting at you, "Ming, I will poison your body till it’s riddled with holes and finally turns into a pool of toxic purulent water!"

As soon as Jerris finished speaking, a hand that glowed with intense purple light suddenly appeared in front of him. The five fingers formed a claw, stabbing straight into Jerris’s skull, causing him to emit an extremely grievous scream!

"That’s impossible, that’s impossible!" Except for the head, the rest of Jerris’s body turned into dark green poisonous smoke enveloping you. The pain made him keep howling, "Why can you catch me even when I turn gaseous? Why!?"

"After you get to the Netherworld, ask Hades."

Your left hand tightened suddenly, and Jerris’s head shattered like it was made of glass!

Not only Jerris, but actually, all of the Netherworld people, apart from the Queen of Underworld and several of your key members, knew little about you, especially your abilities. In the Netherworld, there was a rumor that Ming, among the Twelve Death Gods, was the only one with no superpowers. Of course, rumors are just rumors; few have genuinely seen Ming in action because those who did are mostly dead now.

The origin of the Ghost Hand was not widely known, being the Ghost Hand of this generation, you actually don’t know, nor did your master or grandmaster. Grandmaster Chen Weiguo could only vaguely tell you that the Ghost Hand lineage spans at least three thousand years, but the exact origins are now unverifiable.

According to Chen Weiguo, the Ghost Hand, when cultivated to the highest realm, can cover the sky with one hand.

Such a metaphor, even Chen Weiguo himself was unsure if it was overly exaggerated, he merely passed on his master’s words to you like a mouthpiece.

Cover the sky with one hand, such an effect you dare not imagine, but with your current ability, grabbing a flame or gas with one hand is indeed not a problem.

After Jerris’s head was crushed, the dark green gas settled down immediately, turning into a puddle of dark green purulent water, with some dark red blood mixed in.

At this time, the milky white liquid on the wall did not stop leaking; you hurried to the spot where Jerris was standing, searching left and right for the switch to close the gas. However, the white gas was getting thicker, clearly not something good, as Li Qiyi and Cen Nong also ran to your side, their faces flushed, incomparably alluring.

"Sister, what’s wrong with you?" While searching for the switch, you glanced at Li Qiyi.

"I’m fine, quickly find the exit!" Li Qiyi, who had been watching from behind, kept her focus on the platform Jerris had just pressed. She grabbed a red button without pressing it, but instead twisted it slightly out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, the red button did rotate, revealing a green button, and Li Qiyi pressed it without a word.

Sure enough, the sunken platform rose again. As the tempered glass opened, Li Qiyi urged hastily, "Get in quickly!"

Seeing the milky white gas billowing in, you quickly reached out with both hands, holding onto Li Qiyi and Cen Nong, jumping onto the platform. As soon as the three of you got on, the tempered glass closed again, immediately resolving the poison gas issue. Then the platform began to descend slowly, and upon reaching a certain depth, the overhead cover sealed, plunging the three of you into darkness.

The platform seemed to be moving, albeit very slowly, and there was no light around during this time. Although your hands had already released their grip, the two women habitually nestled in your arms, their breaths somewhat heavy. Two distinctly different scents lingered at your nostrils, suddenly making you feel quite restless.

"Um, sister, why did you bring CEO Cen down too?"

Li Qiyi had not spoken yet, but Cen Nong, realizing her current state, released your right hand, retreated half a step, and said to you, "I insisted Little Yun came down with me. I’m truly grateful to you this time. If it weren’t for you, I might have already..."

"No problem, no problem, I am also at fault, CEO Cen. I apologize for the confusion I caused when I was pretending to be Li Jiu, I..."

Cen Nong suddenly interjected, "Mr. Li, I have a question for you. If you answer me honestly, all your deceit will be written off."

"Alright!" you agreed immediately upon hearing this, thinking it quite a bargain to resolve the awkwardness by answering one question.

Cen Nong gently grasped your right hand, and while you were puzzled, she asked, "You’re the Ghost Hand, aren’t you?"

Stunned by Cen Nong’s question, you were momentarily taken aback, not expecting her to know such a title, momentarily failing to think of any response, just looking at Cen Nong.

"One night more than ten years ago, a man claiming to be the Ghost Hand saved me from danger; and several years ago, in the depths of the South Vietnam Jungle, I was again saved by the Ghost Hand. Now, you saved me again."

Such coincidences are indeed rare, and after listening, you couldn’t help but cough lightly, and said to Cen Nong, "CEO Cen, I’m only eighteen now, what you mentioned first should have been done by my master. As for the second one, how did you know the person who saved you was Ghost Hand? I recall that neither I nor the people with me told you any information."

"Though I don’t know the miraculous martial arts, my vision is excellent; I never forget what I’ve seen once. The methods and moves he used back then were similar to yours, but I can sense that you’re much stronger than he was."

At this moment, you suddenly noticed a faint glow in Cen Nong’s eyes, those eyes seemed to see through all the world’s phenomena.

Unexpectedly, in such an environment, Cen Nong’s superpowers were gradually awakened.
