King of Assassins-Chapter 725 - 537 Don’t Leave_2
The massive arched turtle shell had intersecting patterns forming diamond-shaped grids. On closer inspection, each grid was covered with countless intricate runes.
"Come on up..."
Old Wang Ba spoke in a muffled, jar-like voice.
Gao Xuan stepped onto the turtle shell with interest, observing the countless intricate runes on it.
In ancient times, people believed the patterns on a turtle's back represented the will of the gods. So, even in early times, turtle shells were used for divination.
By the time it came to Old Wang Ba, the level of power this fellow possessed was extremely high.
In the Netherworld Realm, purely in terms of energy level, Gao Xuan might not even match up to Old Wang Ba.
Nobody knows how many years this guy has lived, his whole body full of exceptionally powerful Blood Qi Power.
Gao Xuan had killed billions of the Ghost Prison Race along the way, yet the combined Blood Qi of these Ghost Prison Race members might not even match this Old Wang Ba's vastness.
It goes to show just how strong this Old Wang Ba is.
According to the Ghost Prison Race's standard, Old Wang Ba definitely reached the Tenth Transformation Level. He was just a step away from becoming Divine.
Old Wang Ba didn't care what Gao Xuan was thinking. With a swift force from his sturdy limbs, he jumped onto the muddy river waters of the Netherworld.
Old Wang Ba didn't make a sound, maneuvering the Netherworld Water with his limbs, slowly swimming forward.
His speed didn't seem fast, yet in a blink of an eye, he was far from the shore.
Before long, Gao Xuan could no longer see the shore. All he could see was the vast and boundless muddy Netherworld Water.
The Netherworld Water showed no signs of life, but Gao Xuan could feel the dense death aura wafting through it.
Ordinary humans, even at a distance, would perish instantly if hit by such death aura. Even a Sword Hero drinking a mouthful of this stuff would die on the spot.
Even a Golden Powerhouse, if thrown into the Netherworld Water, would soon be eroded into filthy water.
Even with Gao Xuan's 48-point constitution, he didn't dare to drink this stuff.
The Ghost Prison Race could drink it, though. Perhaps they were the children of the Netherworld, able to defy nature to this extent.
While marveling at the mystery of the Netherworld, the Old Wang Ba beneath him suddenly stopped.
At this moment, only a red sun hung high in the sky, while the blue sun had already set. Under the shining red sun, the muddy Netherworld presented a brick-red hue, exuding a strong ominous premonition.
"Why did you stop?" Gao Xuan asked.
Old Wang Ba turned his head to look at Gao Xuan. In this form, his head alone was like a small building. His enormous mouth barely parted, the gap wide enough to fit Gao Xuan.
Even the mung-bean-sized eyes appeared exceptionally huge.
Old Wang Ba twisted his neck, looking down at Gao Xuan from a high, awkward angle. His green eyes showed a hint of inexplicable malice.
After a moment of silence, Old Wang Ba said, "What you gave is only enough for here. It's time for you to go down."
Old Wang Ba didn't exert any power, but in his massive form, the voice he emitted was deafening. The breath he exhaled was like a gale, with saliva spewing like rain.
Gao Xuan had to use some force to stand still. The Primordial Golden Wheel transformed the Blood Qi Power into Source Power, allowing him to effortlessly generate an invisible air wall, keeping Old Wang Ba's stinky saliva at bay.
However, Old Wang Ba's saliva was not only stinky but also had the corrosive power of the Netherworld Water. It burned and eroded holes in the invisible Source Power wall, emitting wisps of white smoke.
Source Power was truly unpopular in this world.
Gao Xuan sighed internally; he had long seen that Old Wang Ba was no good, having anticipated the current predicament.
Nonetheless, he still found it troublesome.
He said to Old Wang Ba, "Why can't you just keep your end of the bargain? It would save us both the trouble."
Old Wang Ba laughed heartily, revealing two rows of massive teeth as sharp as sluice gates, "What agreement? I only said I'd take you across the river, never said I'd take you to the other shore."
Gao Xuan frowned slightly, "Old Wang Ba, pardon my bluntness, but you being a rascal like this will get you beaten to death. With bad luck, you might even end up in soup."
Old Wang Ba laughed more proudly, "If you had such abilities, you wouldn't have begged me. In the Netherworld, even gods and buddhas must bow to me. What are you? Dare to act recklessly!"
With that, Old Wang Ba suddenly dived down, without needing to lay hands on Gao Xuan. By directly throwing Gao Xuan into the Netherworld Water, he could drown him.
Initially, he wanted to extort a few more treasures, but Gao Xuan's tone was too unpleasant. Old Wang Ba could sense Gao Xuan's strong and firm will; threatening someone like that was completely useless.
Since they had torn off all pretenses, they might as well fight.
Old Wang Ba was a natural in the Netherworld Water. With just a dive, he sank to a thousand fathoms in an instant.
The surrounding Netherworld Water surged in. Gao Xuan stood firmly on Old Wang Ba's back, and just as the water was about to engulf him, he stomped down.
With that stomp, Gao Xuan's Power Dominating the Ancient Horizontal Training Power truly erupted.
Even though the Netherworld Realm's laws exerted massive suppression, Gao Xuan's Law Metal reinforced Horizontal Training Body was circulating power within. His formidable body was like a sealed world, utterly unaffected by the laws of the Netherworld.
Even with muddy Netherworld Water all around, Gao Xuan's stomp formed a Vajra Inverted Cone Formation.
The extremely hard turtle shell was shattered with Gao Xuan's stomp, and the terrifying kinetic energy penetrated through the shell and body, creating many gaping holes in Old Wang Ba.
Old Wang Ba let out a scream of agony, instinctively reaching out to bite Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan casually slapped, and Old Wang Ba's giant head burst into a cloud of powder.
The blasting Palm Force wildly exploded the surrounding endless Netherworld Water.
In the muddy abyss of the Netherworld, a small hollow rapidly emerged under the mighty Palm Force.
This small hollow was small only for the Netherworld. In reality, its diameter was thousands of meters.
Gao Xuan's Palm Force was overwhelmingly mighty, detesting Old Wang Ba's deceitful nature. He showed no mercy with that slap.
This Old Wang Ba, who had lived for countless eons, with a body sturdy as a mountain, had nearly reached the Divine Level. Yet, he was smashed into pieces by a single slap from Gao Xuan.
However, Old Wang Ba wasn't dead. Although his massive body was broken by Gao Xuan, his Divine Soul remained intact.
Gao Xuan's stupendous fist and palm might, though overwhelming, were limited by the laws of this realm, unable to unleash Fist Intent. They posed no direct threat to Old Wang Ba's Divine Soul.
Old Wang Ba's Divine Soul took on a human form, floating above Gao Xuan, his face twisted in utter rage.
He pointed at Gao Xuan, cursing vehemently, "You brat, you dare, you dare ruin my million-year-long trained Dharma Body? You're dead, dead meat!"
Old Wang Ba was truly furious, having waited for a million years at the Netherworld, awaiting the opportunity to become a god.
Yet, the undying Dharma Body, his key to cross the tribulation, was smashed by Gao Xuan. This grudge ran deep.
Gao Xuan leisurely said, "Stop screaming. I'm standing right here, come and kill me if you can."
Old Wang Ba was almost exploding with anger. In his million years of existence, he had never seen such an arrogant being.
Still, he wasn't brave enough to confront Gao Xuan.
Without the million-year refined undying Dharma Body, while his Divine Soul was indestructible, he also couldn't do much to harm Gao Xuan.
Going over rashly might result in a soul-scattering punch from this lad.
Old Wang Ba grew more and more aggrieved and enraged and pointed at Gao Xuan, shouting, "Just you wait, I'll go call my ancestor..."
As he spoke, intending to pilot his Divine Soul away, a sharp blood glow suddenly shone brightly.
In his million years, Old Wang Ba had never seen such a piercing blood glow. He had a feeling that his Divine Soul couldn't withstand this blood glow.
At that moment, Gao Xuan's voice came, "Thinking of leaving? Did I allow it?"
