Chapter 955: Chapter 119: Beheading

The giant wall collapsed, and dust settled.

Gu Shen retracted his domain and dusted off his shoulder, then turned back and said softly, “The door is open.”

The door has cracked open.

Mu Wanqiu muttered silently in her heart, who is the real maniac here? Judging from the earlier display, Gu Shen seemed more violent than herself.

However, the interior of the corridor remained intact, with the ancient texts and translated spiritual texts well-preserved.

This final corridor stretches about several dozen meters.

Gu Shen said regretfully, “It’s a pity these black rocks can’t be taken away.”

These are precious historical relics.

The identity of the mysterious “translator” is also a major enigma.

If these rocks could be taken out of the Disaster Realm, perhaps some clues could be discovered.

“I’ve memorized the words left by this ‘translator’…” Mu Wanqiu said softly, “Even if these black rocks can’t be taken away, it counts as some gain.”

They reached the end of the corridor.

Earlier, they were so engrossed in the texts that they forgot to thoroughly check here.

The final stone wall can be shattered.

In the Netherworld Palace, this symbolizes a “door.”

“Get ready, I’m going to open the door.”

Gu Shen reminded them, then extended a palm, pressing it against the portal; in theory, this was the exit of the Netherworld Palace, but no one knew… what would happen after opening the door.

Mu Wanqiu held her breath.

From Gu Shen’s palm burst forth a powerful impact, and in an instant, the door opened and rushing river water surged in!

Indeed, it’s an exit!

On the other side of the door, it leads straight to the Nether River!

After opening the door, Gu Shen made way, gently pushing Mu Wanqiu.

She did not hesitate and leaped directly through the door… And after leaping, she instinctively looked back, her expression turning somewhat surprised.

Because Gu Shen did not continue forward but just stood there.

Gu Shen did not leave.

Gu Shen stood before the door, turned around, expressionless as he watched the great hall outside the corridor continue to collapse, the first thing the revived Traveler’s Statue did was destroy the great hall built by the people of collapse, ruining the Netherworld King’s hard work.

The souls of the Holy Judges, previously drifting in the great hall, were all shot dead by the revived statue.

He knew that the wisest course of action now was to leave this place as soon as possible.

The Old World’s travelers were storming the Duolu River, and they might descend at any moment… That would be the true catastrophe.

But Gu Shen did not choose to leave directly.

All the doors in the great hall were destroyed.

He knew that among those destroyed portals, there was one… belonging to Meng Xiao.

“How long are you going to hide?”

Standing in the darkness, Gu Shen spoke softly.

This sentence echoed eerily in the great hall.

Amidst the sounds of crumbling stones, there was a sense of desolation.

There was not a hint of a sound in response.

Among those shattered portals, there was not the slightest trace of a living person.

But… this does not mean there were no living people.

Gu Shen was always a “ruthless” character; his creed was, if you’re going to do bad things, do them thoroughly.

Eradicate, remove the roots!

Although he had personally locked dozens of Holy Judges into Meng Xiao’s portal, he would not believe Meng Xiao was truly dead until he saw the corpse of this “Blessed Son.”

“I know you’re still alive. If you don’t come out, it’s okay, I’ll wait until the great hall completely collapses, ensuring everything here is buried, making sure every portal is completely shattered.” Gu Shen continued to speak to the collapsing Netherworld Palace, his voice devoid of emotion, “Until the last moment, I will not leave.”

“So the choice before you is only twofold, either stand out now or be buried in the Nether River.”

Once again, a long silence.

Gu Shen smiled as he watched the falling stones at the end of the corridor.

A gust of wind came sweeping from a far distance.

From a shattered [door], a very swift beam of light shot out!

This light had once pierced through the long night of Black Snow Mountain.

Now, it penetrated the great hall, shattered smoke, and instantly reached Gu Shen’s chest position.

Then was caught by Gu Shen with one hand.

The brilliant Holy Light of Blessing collided with Gu Shen’s palm, as if shot into an endless sea, after lasting a few seconds, gradually weakened, and then extinguished… A ragged, gaunt figure staggered out from behind the [door].

Meng Xiao’s expression was gloomy to the extreme.

His entire body had not a single patch of intact skin left.

Nearly a hundred Holy Judges, filled with resentment, had engulfed him; he endured inhuman curses in the Spiritual World, was drowned in darkness and decay in the real world… Skeletons gnawed on his flesh, trying to drag him into Hell.

Just a little more, and they would have succeeded!

The Traveler’s aurora pierced through the darkness, shattered a soul of a Holy Judge.

Seizing this opportunity, Meng Xiao broke free from the nightmare, narrowly survived, at the moment of waking from the dream, ruthlessly slaughtered the “Holy Judges” of Light City, because of the chaos erupting in the Netherworld Palace, the thoughts of those skeletons seemed to be attracted by the statue, the massacre within the portal went exceptionally smoothly, in reality, Meng Xiao also knew he simply couldn’t kill these skeletal “Holy Judges.”

Compared to himself, they were the true “Undead”!

So what he did was simple, directly smashed the skeletons gnawing on his flesh, then punched through the stone wall, throwing these Holy Judges into other portals!

The statue’s aurora would pierce all portals, just banish these Holy Judges, let them be shot by the statue!

Even if they wouldn’t die, if hit by the statue’s aurora, they would explode, their souls would also burst open.

After doing all this, Meng Xiao hid in the dark, quietly observing everything…

With the Light Blessing’s empowerment, any damage he suffers can heal quickly. As long as he doesn’t die, each subsequent “rebirth” will only make him stronger…

He decided to watch and wait, for that revived Divine Statue was simply too terrifying.

What Meng Xiao hadn’t expected was that even more dreadful than the statue was Gu Shen, who had narrowly escaped his grasp.

The reason the Undead are undying is because they were bestowed with Divine Favour.

Every “rebirth” they experience comes with a price.

They burn life to mend life.

But no matter how powerful an “Undead” may be, they have limits. At this moment, Meng Xiao, who slowly stepped out of a portal, had clearly reached his own limit… His spirit was being gnawed by the lost soul of the Holy Judge, withering away, his whole body shrouded in black mist. It was the resentment and curse of the Netherworld King, and even with the protection of the Zhenyue Robe, he still could not prevent the curse from eroding him.

For every bit his body’s cells recovered, the black mist would gnaw away a bit.

One opposing the other.

He was tormented beyond recognition, displaying a terrifying appearance of skin and bones, more eerie and terrifying than those skeletal Holy Judges.

“Do you… really have to eradicate me completely?”

Meng Xiao’s voice was hoarse, filled with resentment as he stared at Gu Shen and spoke such words.

Gu Shen couldn’t help but laugh, softly repeating, “Eradicate completely?”

The sentence sounded somewhat like a joke.

“You’re shameless indeed…” Gu Shen looked at the monster leaning on the grand hall and said indifferently, “Isn’t the one truly eradicating completely you?”

From the Black Snow Mountain pursuing to the Nether River.

Until before jumping into the Netherworld Palace portal, Gu Shen was the one being hunted.

Meng Xiao was silent for a moment.

After a while, he glared at Gu Shen, his voice hoarse, “Can’t you see? The powerful beings of the Old World are impacting here… Once it enters the Disaster Realm, neither you nor I will survive! At a time , you don’t run for your life, do you have to drag me to die together?”

The cold wind blew through the grand hall.

A few withered sleeves of the Holy Judge floated between them, landing on Meng Xiao’s blood-stained face.

“Sorry… This is when it’s most likely for one fish to slip through the net.”

Gu Shen said calmly, “Whoever wants to kill me, I must kill them. I won’t be at peace until I see you dead myself.”

“Ha… haha… hahahaha…”

Meng Xiao covered his forehead, chuckling softly.

After being dragged into purgatory by the Holy Judges, his mental state had become somewhat deranged.

Amidst the long laughter.

He suddenly lunged, charging directly at Gu Shen!

So what if you’re a Three Realms Transcendent?

He himself was a solid Fourth-order Transcendent, a pride of the heavens, a Divine Favored destined to bear the flag of Light City in the future!

Gu Shen remained expressionless.

With a thought, the arc light of the Truth Ruler slowly flowed out from his sleeve.

The next moment, a longbow appeared in his hand!

Because the Devil in the Ruler had completely lost contact, Gu Shen was unable to summon[Extinguishing Candle]. Unfortunately, his spiritual power was at an unprecedented abundance with no outlet, so he could only construct a bow of ordinary quality.

Fortunately, he had the world’s sharpest iron arrows!

The moment this bow appeared, Meng Xiao tensed up reflexively… but he realized the next moment that this bow was not the same one that nearly killed him earlier!

Gu Shen drew the bow and nocked the arrow.

With a “whoosh”. The source of this content ɪs novel{f}ire.net

The iron arrow pierced through Meng Xiao’s chest, bringing forth a burst of scorching hot blood.

Yet at this moment, the Son of the Light Blessing’s speed did not decrease in the slightest. It was as if he felt no pain at all, covering a hundred meters in an instant, directly charging to Gu Shen.

The second arrow was ready to launch as the first one shot forth.

Gu Shen did not pause, firing two arrows in succession before discarding the bow. What he awaited was the moment Meng Xiao closed in for close combat!

The two fired iron arrows collided in the distance, shattering and reforming under the command of the[Iron Throne], transforming into a spinning iron blade, radiating a blinding silver light.

Meng Xiao reached out both hands, gripping Gu Shen’s shoulders, pushing towards the final portal!

Gu Shen did not resist at all.

A sliver of silver arc light, cutting across in a semicircular slice.

In this moment, Meng Xiao’s body unexpectedly shifted an inch, his robe pulling his form, evading the silent beheading strike, but the back of his robe was slashed to pieces, leaving a long, grim slash of blood.

This slash hurt tremendously.

But… it wasn’t fatal.

As the grand hall collapsed completely, the two fell into the portal.

Infinite river water surged backwards, Meng Xiao’s roars and laughter echoed heavily in the water.

“I am the ‘Undead’, blessed by the Light Blessing! Even the Netherworld King’s curse cannot kill me, and you think you can?”

“What gives you the right to kill me?!!”

Gu Shen reached out, grasping the spinning long blade.

The Pure Land World abruptly descended at this moment, overlapping with the giant tree’s silhouette, completely suppressing Meng Xiao’s mangled body under the domain of the Fourth-order Transcendent.

He coldly stared into the eyes of this Son of the Light’s Blessing.

Iron Throne, Chi Huo, Pure Land.

Plus the blade of the Fourth-order Domain.

Meng Xiao’s head was thusly cut off.
