Chapter 197: Fighting Alone in the Netherworld

Chapter 197: Fighting Alone in the Netherworld
Mu Tieshan was about to shout at the remaining people to retreat, but when he heard the words of the Netherworld Messenger, he immediately steadied himself.

Cui Daocheng will definitely not be able to use the seal anymore!

Cui Daocheng was also stunned. He looked at the three Netherworld messengers and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to change his words immediately. But the next moment, what he said was still: "Capture them! Take them all to the Netherworld!"

Then the three Netherworld messengers screamed again: "Seventh Master, please use the seal!"

The six people and Li Wuxiang were all stunned for a moment, but the next moment they all knew what Cui Daocheng wanted to do.

He has lost all his cultivation now, and is just a ghost immortal who has passed the earth tribulation. In his opinion, the six people from the thirty-six sects are lurking here secretly, either wanting the East Emperor Seal or wanting to capture someone. No matter which one, they will not let him go.

In this case, it would be better to lure in another group of Netherworld messengers like we did just now. Although we don’t know what they will do, judging from their previous appearance, it will definitely not be something that will make people feel comfortable!
Since these six people were sent here, they are naturally not stupid. They will understand everything after a little thought.

Mu Tieshan no longer hid his figure, and simply walked forward a few steps to the edge of the stone, and said loudly: "Master Cui! We are disciples of the Thirty-Six Sects. We came to the Nether Nine Abyss to investigate after learning that the Sword Sect was in trouble. Why did you call the Netherworld Messenger to take our souls? Let's talk it over nicely, and ask them to stop first!"

Cui Daocheng sneered: "I told them to stop, and you told me to leave?"

"Of course, you are the current Taiyi Sect Master. We are from the same lineage. We are not from the Six Sects of Xuan Sect, so there is no reason for us to embarrass you!" Tang Qilang shouted, "The Netherworld Messenger is no joke. The Life and Death Order is not yours, right? Don't cause a big mess!"

Cui Daocheng laughed again, his voice sounding vague and ethereal: "You youngsters came to the lower world, it should be for the East Emperor Seal, right? If you want to get the East Emperor Seal, you should also want to know how to use it! But the thirty-six sects don't know this seal as well as the sword sect. Now I have no cultivation at all, I am a lonely ghost, will you let me go?"

Tang Qilang chuckled: "Alas, alas, Master, what do you think of us——"

"Okay! Here is the East Emperor Seal!" Cui Daocheng shouted, "You swear in front of this seal to Emperor Taiyi that if I tell them to retreat, you will let me go!"

"What's the matter with that--" Tang Qillang laughed and opened his mouth, but he hesitated after saying only the word "I", and looked at Yin without saying anything.

At this time, the three Netherworld messengers screamed in unison: "Seventh Master, please use the seal!"

Mou Tieshan pushed Tang Qilang aside and said in a deep voice: "Master Cui, you are right. We, the Thirty-Six Sects, need this Eastern Emperor Seal to reopen the Great Tribulation Alliance and re-establish the Law. We do want to take you to the Great Tribulation Mountain. But don't worry, the Sword Sect and the Thirty-Six Sects are all from the Taiyi Sect. This time, the Chilian Sect was destroyed in order not to submit to the Sun Sect. How could we harm you?"

"The Chi Lian Sect!" Cui Daocheng was stunned, but then shook his head and sighed, "Perhaps you youngsters don't have any bad intentions, and perhaps there are heroic people among the Thirty-Six Sects, but ask yourself, what about the rest? Since I'm the leader, I know who can be the leader! I'm now a ghost immortal who has passed the earth tribulation... Haha, if you refine me, I'll be the remains of an immortal! Take me to your Thirty-Six Sects, and you won't be able to decide the matter! Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to leave, stay here together!"

Mu Tieshan nodded, took off the huge sword from his back, and threw it on the ground with a thud: "Master Cui, I'm sorry. Now your flying sword is just a piece of ordinary iron. The previous few words were to show respect to you as the leader of a sect. In this case, we must forcibly take out the life and death order in your body!"

Cui Daocheng looked up to the sky and sighed, then smiled coldly: "Okay! You guys come and give it a try!"

He pointed his finger at the flying sword on the ground, and it vibrated and trembled a few times, but then stopped moving. He leaned over to pick up the flying sword, but his fingertips could only touch the flying sword slightly before it slipped away.

Seeing this, Tang Qilang, Lu Huaiyuan, and Liu Hanzhang all showed their weapons. Only Kong Jingci sighed, "Brother Mou, Master Cui is also a hero. We have also seen the East Emperor Seal. Let's forget it."

Mu Tieshan stared at Cui Daocheng and shook his head: "The East Emperor Seal is related to the unification of the thirty-six sects. Since Master Cui may have some secrets of the East Emperor Seal, and this is a great opportunity, I will not leave like this. You might as well persuade him to stop in time!"

Kong Jingci looked at Cui Daocheng: "Master Cui——"

"Please use the seal, Master Qi!" The fourth urging voice came. Dense crowds of Netherworld messengers emerged from the dead air, but this time they were different from the previous ones - they showed their faces!

Their faces looked almost the same, with a pair of dark eyes on their blurry gray faces, and at this moment, a little red light shone in their eyes. They urged in unison and gathered towards Cui Daocheng. Their faces were stretched out of shape, and their empty black eyes also twisted. Their eyes were both puzzled and alert, staring at the life and death order in Cui Daocheng's body, as if they were extremely greedy for it.

After several calls, the Netherworld messengers gathered closer and closer, surrounding Cui Daocheng in the middle and circling around him. The tiny, fragmented sounds gradually became sharper, and finally almost became a shrill scream: "Seventh Master, please use the seal! Use the seal! Use the seal!"

This voice made everyone present feel like a knife was scraping their heads, and Cui Daocheng was now just a ghost without any cultivation. His body was more like a pool of water, swaying at the sound, as if it would disperse in an instant and reveal the life and death order inside.

Mu Tieshan raised his breath and shouted: "Master Cui! I think they will see that you are not the Seventh Master without us having to do anything! You still have a chance to survive if you follow us, why do you want to die here for a moment of rage? Master Taiyi, a hero's end, a death without a clear explanation, can you feel at ease!?"

Seeing this, Liu Hanzhang pulled the back of Mou Tieshan's collar from behind and said, "Brother Mou...it looks like he really wants to die. There's no benefit in forcing him to death. Let's just forget it..."

Mou Tieshan slapped his hand away: "Now is the time to test your courage! Are you out of courage?!"

Liu Hanzhang opened his mouth but stopped talking. Seeing that the Netherworld messengers were getting closer and closer to Cui Daocheng, almost surrounding him, Mu Tieshan tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife: "If Cui Daocheng -"

"Master Cui."

He suddenly heard the voice of the eighth person, coming from the stone platform diagonally above and opposite to the others.

Mu Tieshan looked up suddenly and saw Li Wuxiang - he appeared, standing on the edge of the stone platform and looking down, with a cold expression on his face: "Master Cui, tell them to retreat."

Mu Tieshan frowned and said, "Master Li, didn't I tell you not to come down? Don't get involved in what's happening here!"

After he said this, he turned to look at Cui Daocheng again, but he saw Cui Daocheng also turned his head and looked straight at Li Wuxiang: "You——"

"If you tell these Netherworld messengers to retreat, I promise they will tell you to leave. The East Emperor Seal is here, and I can swear to the Great Emperor."

Several people were stunned. Just as Mu Tieshan was about to speak, he heard Cui Daocheng's vague voice amidst a sharp and shrill roar: "...Are you serious?"

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Donghuang Taiyi's testimony."

Mu Tieshan turned his head sharply and looked at Li Wuxiang: "Aren't you the chief monk of Tianxin Sect?!"

Li Wuxiang looked at him and said nothing.

Mu Tieshan hesitated for a moment and stared at him: "Then it's not your turn to make the decision here. No matter who you are, don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise--"

Li Wuxiang flicked his fingers, and a golden light appeared, immediately tearing away all the death energy around the few people!
"What else?"

Several people took a deep breath at once, and almost all of them retreated two or three steps on the stone platform! Mu Tieshan stared at the sword light for a moment, grasped the hilt, and held the heavy sword horizontally in front of him: "You are...you are that Li Wuxiang?!"

Li Wuxiang did not answer him, nor did he pay attention to them, but continued, "Master Cui! Senior Sister Mei trusts me, but you don't!" Cui Daocheng was silent for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Back off! Back off! Don't capture anyone, and there's no need to capture their souls!"

The Netherworld messengers around him suddenly quieted down. Their heads were originally facing Cui Daocheng, and it seemed that they wanted to get into his body, but after hearing these words, they all leaned back, as if they were stunned.

However, they seemed to have no intention of retreating. Instead, after a moment of silence, they suddenly let out a sharp roar and rushed towards him again - as if they had finally confirmed that the person in front of them was not the "Seventh Master"!
At this time, a golden light broke through the air, and the death energy surged wildly. A dozen Netherworld messengers were immediately pierced by the golden light. The black energy in their bodies erupted violently, and instantly turned into faint shadows like vortexes of air. Li Wuxiang followed closely behind the flying sword and rushed towards Cui Daocheng, shouting: "Master Cui! Come here!"

He fired three more sword strikes, clearing the passage between him and Cui Daocheng in an instant. The Netherworld messengers around him seemed to be in a panic, and half of them abandoned Cui Daocheng and rushed towards him. Li Wuxiang activated his elixir power, and the essence that had been replenished in his body over the past few days and compressed to the extreme by the Small Tribulation Sword Sutra burst out from his skin, driving away a large area of death energy around him. The Netherworld messengers were wrapped in the death energy and flew far to both sides!

"Come!"

Cui Daocheng no longer hesitated, and leaped forward, rushing towards Li Wuxiang along the path he had taken.

When the people behind saw this scene, almost all of them changed their expressions in shock. They knew that the swordsman was domineering, but they didn't expect him to be so domineering!

Directly attack the Netherworld Messenger of the Netherworld Cult!
Tang Qilang's face changed: "Brother Mou, let's go! We just attacked the swordsman! This is troublesome!"

Mu Tieshan paused his heavy sword, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I'm not going anywhere! Li Wuxiang has already attacked the Netherworld Messenger, and the Yin-Yang Judge may come soon! Wait! This is the time to test your courage!"

Lu Huaiyuan's face was gloomy: "Brother Mou, you are going to lead us all the way to the end."

Mu Tieshan smiled coldly: "Are you scared? If you are, then go away! This is the first time I have seen the Yuanying Swordsman take action, so I will stay to learn more!"

When he said this, Cui Daocheng had already rushed in front of Li Wuxiang. Li Wuxiang grabbed his hand - perhaps because he was not a human, he actually held it tightly. Then he threw his head back and said, "Go!"

Cui Daocheng was about to fly up the cave with this force, but suddenly he heard a loud shout: "Punish life!"

His body paused, and his originally illusory outline suddenly took on real colors - the deathly aura around him had been driven away by Li Wuxiang, but now the black air seemed to come out of his body, filling him up all at once, making him seem as if he had another kind of tangible and physical body. So Cui Daocheng paused in mid-air and immediately fell down.

Li Wuxiang also heard this voice. The moment these two words exploded in his mind, the vitality of his whole body burst out and flowed uncontrollably. He felt that the tentacles in his body were completely out of control and were scrambling to penetrate his skin. And countless large and small lumps appeared on his skin in an instant, crowded together, merging and growing. In just a moment, he felt that his body and limbs were all supported by these growths and could not move!
He turned to look at the source of the sound - a black shadow three or four people tall, as thin as if made of bamboo poles, slowly rose from the surging black fog. His face was blue-gray, and like those messengers from the underworld, he had only a pair of black hole-like eyes, but these eyes were curved, as if he was smiling.

The next moment, the face was torn in the middle by a black gas, and swelled into another face. The black eyes on that face suddenly pressed downwards, and the second sound rang out -

"Sentenced to death!"

The black air on Cui Daocheng's body suddenly retracted and returned to the void, and his human figure seemed to be retracted along with the black air, as if there was an invisible small hole in the air that was sucking him in. In this instant, his face was distorted, his body was exhausted, and he was stretched into a thin green light, becoming fainter and fainter!
The swelling on Li Wuxiang's body withered instantly when the voice sounded, becoming a layer of shriveled and withered scars, falling down. But what fell was not only these things, but also his vitality and energy!
He felt his chest go empty and he could barely take a breath to leap into the air, while the flying sword beside him was buzzing - the tentacles could hardly hold the sword.

The Yin-Yang Judge is here!
What kind of magical power is this thing? !

Li Wuxiang turned around and took aim at the slender figure. He then extended a few tentacles to grab the flying sword. Just as he was about to gather his elixir power to shoot it towards him, he heard another loud shout: "Judgment of life!"

The second Yin-Yang Judge also rose from the black fog!

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth—

"Sentence to live!"

Li Wuxiang's body began to swell again, and his vitality and blood were stimulated once again. He knew that if he heard a few more words of "death sentence", he would probably become a tanned human skin!
This won't work! Maybe there will be more and more Yin-Yang Judges!

He immediately turned around and shouted, "Cui Daocheng! Give me the life and death order!"

Cui Daocheng's body was swollen by the black air, and his face was almost completely invisible. But he did not hesitate after hearing what Li Wuxiang said. He trembled, and the black sign shot out from the black mist with a puff.

Li Wuxiang opened his mouth and swallowed the token, then rushed to the stone platform. Just as he touched the stone platform and the five Yin-Yang judges were about to sentence him to death, their figures disappeared, leaving only a piece of scrap paper!
"what?"

"what?"

The five Yin-Yang Judges seemed to be stunned for a moment, standing still in the dead air without moving, only emitting bursts of shrill and piercing sounds of surprise.

Those messengers from the underworld also stopped moving and circled around the stone platform containing the East Emperor Seal, as if they were trying to find the person.

——No one cares about Choi Do-sung’s ghost anymore.

Mu Tieshan shouted, "Li Wuxiang has escaped! Attack!"

He swung the heavy sword in his hand towards Cui Daocheng's ghost, but the heavy sword did not cut through the air, but unfolded in the air with a clattering sound, turning into a huge iron lotus! The sword blade was divided into nine petals, and the black gold talisman etched on the middle sword bone shone, releasing an interwoven light net that trapped Cui Daocheng. Mu Tieshan took another breath and shouted: "Come on!!"

The light net suddenly tightened and trapped Cui Daocheng. The six iron petals closed with a bang and became the shape of a heavy sword again.

Mu Tieshan leaned his sword on the ground and took two deep breaths. "Master Cui, why are you doing this? You've lost the life and death order, and now it's in my hands!"

The heavy sword was silent, and Mu Tieshan stretched out his hand and flicked the sword: "I said we won't do anything to you, and I mean it. Master, if you are really worried that the teachers will harm you, think about it on the way. Sorry! Let's go!"
