Chapter 514: Fated Finale (1)
Qin Ye’s heart skipped a beat. It was borne out of fear - pure unadulterated fear.
It’s chaos… All hell has broken loose…
Meanwhile, it was evident that the chimera intended to capture Qin Ye himself. It was a two-pronged approach.
“Our father is none other than Susanoo-no-Mikoto…” The chimera simply gazed intently as Qin Ye took off into the distance, “He goes by a few other names, including the strongest god, or the ancestor of all ghosts.”
“Naturally, we possess the ability to summon a hundred ghosts under our command any time, anywhere. This is one of the talents we’ve inherited by virtue of our bloodline…”
Within moments, he managed to dash right out of the clearance around Hell’s gate and into the endless sea of hysterical Yin spirits that had earlier detected the aura of the six paths of reincarnation. Meanwhile, Susa Boy had already begun his approach, moving well beyond the speed of sound.
How unfortunate that the weapons I have are merely copies of the actual Judgment Pen and the Book of Life and Death… Qin Ye’s heart was awash with regret. Would he still be afraid of this monster had he had the real Book of Life and Death with him right now?
He desperately communicated with the shard of King Yanluo’s Seal. A minute had lapsed, and there were but four minutes remaining. So long as he could hold out for another four minutes, he would be able to return to Hell once more!
But no matter how bad this approach seemed to be, there was no better option available to him right now.
Meanwhile, Susa Boy was only less than a thousand meters away from him right now!
No response. Qin Ye thrusted again with his spear, but with even greater force this time. At once, a terrifying blast of Yin energy shot straight through the tide ahead, sending the Yin spirits scattering everywhere, and clearing out a path that was hundreds of meters long.
Qin Ye ignored his taunts and simply kept forging ahead. Without hesitation, he released yet another blast of Yin energy ahead.
It took time for him to muster his Yin energy, lift his spear, and then swing or thrust it.
The shard of King Yanluo’s Seal had been dormant for over a minute now, and Qin Ye could sense that the golden substance on it was slowly melting away.
“My Lord!!” Just then, he noticed a clear landing ahead. Amidst a smattering of red lanterns, he noticed a group of Black Armored Troops rushing over to him anxiously. They had rushed over as soon as they noticed the clamour in the distance, and the first thing they noticed was the terrifying figure of Susa Boy hot on Qin Ye’s tail.
Qin Ye drew a deep breath and bellowed at thim, “Stop him!!”
The few thrusts of his spear earlier had depleted a substantial part of his reserves, and he knew that this would only increase the rate at which Susa Boy closed the distance. That said… it was necessary because of the smoke signal he had fired. It was a signal to his forces!
The signal bore the energy signature of the King Yanluo of Hell. Naturally, none dared to ignore it.
They immediately knew that it wasn’t going to be an easy opponent.
Qin Ye didn’t even turn back. He knew full well that he simply couldn’t afford to fall into the hands of the Nipponese underworld. Thus, he continued to rush forward for some distance, before finally breathing a sigh of relief and wiping off the sweat that was beading up on his forehead.
There was no shame in retreat. Live to fight another day - this was a maxim that would take a dynasty from strength to strength.
Two and a half minutes have passed… The golden substance over the shard has begun to seep away. Just two minutes more… and I’ll let Susa Boy know just who the master of these festivities is supposed to be!
BOOM!!!
How is this possible?! There were at least 500 Yin soldiers! Like a slow-motion, silent film, Qin Ye slowly turned back, only to see Susa Boy standing right in the center of the devastation, with the towering Hell’s gate standing well in the background.
“Protect him!!” The reinforcements roared at the top of their voices and charged forward in spite of the destruction they had personally witnessed. The juxtaposition of stillness of death and the movements of the reinforcements was no different from the elegy of the Yin spirits.
A split second later, Susa Boy raised his hand, “Without military formations, you’re nothing but ants. Glow of the Firefly.”
Whoosh… boom, boom, BOOM!! What initially began as a soft stir slowly grew to a rustle, and then some. Within moments, an unspeakably mighty attack exploded from the orb!
It was a silent rampage.
Qin Ye dove straight to the ground as soon as the explosion occurred. And as soon as he did, several others of his men piled themselves right over his body. In their last moments, he heard them cry out with great valor, “My Lord… godspeed!!!”
Otherwise… how could two extraterritorial emissaries wreak such havoc right in front of Hell’s gate?!
Soon after he got started, he heard Arthis speak directly into his ears once more. But this time, her voice sounded much weaker than before, “Why aren’t you returning to Hell?!! Don’t you know that if you get caught, the sacrifice of all these Yin soldiers would have been completely in vain?! It would be the shame of a lifetime to have the King Yanluo of Hell captured by enemy forces!!”
“Damn it…” Arthis gritted her teeth and drew a deep breath, “Head towards the office of the Special Investigations Department.”
Just then, two pale netherflames lit up amidst the cloud of dust and debris behind them.
“It’s too late. Your fate had been sealed as soon as we’d unleashed our true form. I’m curious. Who exactly are you? How are you able to survive till now?” Susa Boy’s heart was filled with maddened rage. Time and again, he had been tripped up by the hateful creatures who had consumed the taisui fungus, and each one appeared to be more troublesome than the other!
The netherflames in Susa Boy’s eyes flickered wildly. Within moments, he reached out from the cloud of Yin energy and took a swipe at Qin Ye’s shoulder.
A flash of golden light appeared right out of nowhere, and Susa Boy instinctively shrank back with a cry of surprise.
Qin Ye instantly sensed the eruption of the vast true energy as well. He turned back and gasped in horror.
That’s right… I’d sensed someone sizing me up as soon as I’d entered the vicinity of this location. Was it him?
But before he could even delve deeper into this train of thought, he suddenly shuddered like a wave of electricity had just run through his body. Then, he glanced up towards the sky.
How could a human being possibly see an Emissary of Hell?!
In that instant, he was suddenly reminded of the statue sitting at the top of Hell’s gate - the unique statue bearing his own image.
