My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1588: The Terror of Hades the Netherworld King
Under that disdainful gaze, Xiao Zheng could only raise his hands in surrender, helplessly saying, "Fine, we’ll see what happens then. If the blood pool is only for your use, I won’t use it, no matter what. I won’t take advantage of a friend."
The girl in red softened her gaze and said, "Okay."
The two discussed for a moment, then walked towards the small red tree. Xiao Zheng and the girl in red moved cautiously. Earlier, Ganggudar was so afraid of this forest, indicating something terrifying was within. It seemed the time had come for it to show itself.
Indeed!
As they stepped onto the clearing, a dangerous aura appeared in the forest. An old, cold, sinister voice echoed, "Anyone who takes another step will die!"
The two stopped, sensing their surroundings. It was unclear where the voice originated, possessing an eerie unpredictability. After a moment, Xiao Zheng sneered, saying, "Pretending to be mysterious." He then pointed a finger.
Hiss!
A burst of Gang Qi suddenly shot from his fingertip, heading southwest. Earlier, Xiao Zheng felt a strange fluctuation there.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Zheng’s sharp Gang Qi reached the spot, a large tree trembled and extended a branch, entwining itself with crimson, blood-like Gang Qi, striking fiercely at Xiao Zheng’s sharp Gang Qi, scattering it in the air.
However, the branch also snapped, falling to the ground.
A chilling voice came from the forest, filled with anger, "How dare you attack!"
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, "Why wouldn’t I dare attack something pretending to be mysterious?"
The voice, filled with rage, said, "Very well, I will show you the skills of someone pretending to be mysterious."
After speaking—
Boom!
The entire forest erupted into chaos. Around the clearing, towering ancient trees awoke from slumber, each radiating an angry, violent intent. Branches grew wildly, like twisted, sinister arms, viciously reaching for Xiao Zheng and the girl in red.
In a moment, the two were engulfed by the overwhelming branches. Each branch contained terrifying power, woven together densely, like an inescapable net.
From above, Xiao Zheng and the girl in red looked like dumplings, surrounded by layers of branches, tightening around them, with more branches thickening the mass into an expanding, dark red sphere.
It was hard to imagine any creature could escape this dreadful confinement.
However, the next moment, a point of golden light emerged from the gaps of the huge branch-enshrouding sphere, a sharp, sword-like aura shooting skyward.
Then—
Clang!
A sword cry resonated through the entire forest.
A magnificent sword light, majestic and awe-inspiring, burst from within the giant sphere, effortlessly slicing through one unyielding branch after another, then struck fiercely.
Boom!
The branches had no resistance against this strike, cleaved in two, with the Sword Qi embedding deep into the ground, carving a tens-of-meters long, unfathomably deep sword scar.
"Ah..."
The old, cold, evil voice let out a shrill cry. The remaining branches, like hands scalded by flames, retracted rapidly.
"You’ve angered me!"
The voice raged, "You’ve angered me! Before, I intended to leave a path for you, but now it seems you don’t cherish it at all, so don’t blame me."
Xiao Zheng sneered, "Bring whatever tricks you’ve got."
The girl in red remained silent, frowning as she recalled that Ganggudar was a beast recorded in the Blood Clan’s history. These mysterious branches might also be connected to the Blood Clan, and thus should be documented. What exactly were they?
The girl in red recalled the ancient books she had read. The texts flowed through her mind, yet even after much recollection, she remained clueless.
"There should be records..." The girl in red frowned.
Xiao Zheng laughed, "Don’t think about it. Once we defeat this thing and drag out its true form for interrogation, we’ll know, won’t we?"
The girl in red snapped back to attention, saying, "That seems to be the only way." Upon finishing, her eyes became sharp, an overwhelming, vast aura began rising from her body.
Xiao Zheng was stunned. Although the girl in red appeared to be just a human girl, in his perception, she had transformed into a towering, terrifying entity, exuding endless might.
"This is the Martial Arts Peak. I wonder how long it will take for me to reach this step," Xiao Zheng’s eyes suddenly blazed with intense desire, a yearning to continuously break through, reaching the level of the Netherworld King.
Previously, he was deemed invincible, confronting opponents who, though causing some trouble, were ultimately defeated. Such overwhelmingly stronger existences had only been seen in a few individuals like Rob III and the Netherworld King.
Xiao Zheng felt not the slightest discouragement. Instead, he was filled with soaring ambition, never yielding to anyone. One day, he too would ascend to the Martial Arts Peak and surpass these people.
"Netherworld King Seal!" The girl in red shouted softly, as she took action, her gaze becoming sharp, extending her palm, pressing heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
A torrent-like surge poured into the ground, then the entire ground began to tremble violently, rapidly spreading outward. In an instant, the vast forest started to convulse intensely!
It was as if a severe earthquake had struck, terrifying. The trees shook violently, deeply rooted, with extensive root systems, yet under such tremors, they toppled and collapsed.
Boom boom boom boom!
One colossal tree after another fell, dust billowing skyward, utter chaos.
"Incredible," Xiao Zheng stared dumbfounded at this scene, the power of a single punch was terrifying! The mysterious beings in the forest attacked using branches, and the girl in red uprooted these giant trees, wild and ferocious.
Truly frightening.
