Chapter 187: The Undefeated Sunrise of the Orient

ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!

Where did you get that round paper fan anyway?! Was this something you’d already obtained in preparation for the possession of my body tonight?! How did I not notice this?!

“What’s the hurry?” Arthis responded placidly, “It wasn’t easy finding a human body, so what’s wrong with making good use of it? Can’t you let me take centerstage for just a little while?”

How embarrassing!

Arthis turned a deaf ear to his cries.

“Aaaaaghhhh! Eyes… my eyes!” Qin Ye slammed his head against the walls of his consciousness, and he immediately developed a suicidal urge.

He had totally underestimated Arthis’ limits! No… she practically had no boundaries!

The half-spider lady’s hand trembled, subconsciously tightening her grip around her weapon as she developed the urge to plunge it deep into the heart of the man in front of her. But in the very next moment, she bit down hard on her lower lips and shrugged off her desire to do so without saying a word.

Mustn't move…

This is a demon… a true, cold-blooded demon. She doesn’t seem to be as strong as the previous Infernal Judge, but she’s several times more depraved and vicious than him!

Just like the Abyss of the Pool of Blood.

Qin Ye walked in an elegant, ladylike manner. Her poise and stance revealed much of her distinguished status in the past. She sashayed past the half-spider lady without giving her another look, and slowly made her way towards the other emissary that bore appearances like a grim reaper. She lifted his face with her paper fan, “Do you think that I’m… beautiful?”

The ominous atmosphere only made Qin Ye’s fanatical disposition look all the more dreadful.

Death wasn’t scary. The inability to die was far more dreadful.

“Ahhhh!!” The terror in the emissary’s heart finally exceeded its limits. The genial smile of a young adult appeared no different from a menacing hell rift right now. With a mindless scream, he subconsciously grabbed his scythe and charged at Arthis.

He’s inhuman… Is this what a high-ranking official of Hell is like? Terrifying…

Qin Ye didn’t even shift his body, and yet the scythe simply halted when it was barely an inch from his body. It was unable to go any further. Qin Ye’s expression remained the same as she muttered, “Trash.”

Arrrrggghhhh… His voice appeared to linger endlessly in the void around them.

Jade-green netherflames cast a deep long shadow from their bodies. The moment of immense humiliation for Qin Ye had just become the stuff of nightmares and despair for them.

It was like a cat that was playing with a mouse.

Even emissaries knew fear.

Crack!!

Whoosh! Half of the lights in the temple went out in an instant.

“Where did you get the confidence to come seize Cathayan souls for yourself?”

Qin Ye furrowed her brows in disgust and covered her nose. Then, she elegantly shifted her hand to her trousers and flicked, “Disgusting.”

I can’t hear anything! I can’t hear anything!

Everything that has happened today must be completely erased from my consciousness. Not a single shred must remain! Not even a modicum!

“But the only thing you’re leaving them is a horrific image of Hell! Return it to me… seriously, sister, I beg you to return my body to me! Let me swing the blade, alright? You’ve sunk so deep into your role that there’s no turning back!”

“One thousand four--... Bloody hell, I don’t even want my merit points anymore! Are you trying to be the embodiment of my worst nightmare today?!!”

Are you the devil?!

“If you don’t return my body to me within five seconds’ time, we’re through! I’ll head straight into the depths of the mountains and become a hermit! I won’t give a damn whether Hell flourishes or crumbles!!”

“Five!!” It could be said that the rage in his heart was already bordering on madness.

“Four!!!”

“Three!!”

“Emissary… Emissary of Hell…” The Nipponese emissary gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in despondence.

A second later, Qin Ye abruptly opened his eyes, grabbed the demonhead saber and slashed at the Nipponese emissary like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

Psshhk! The Nipponese emissary was cut cleanly in half. However, he didn’t die immediately. He glared resentfully at Qin Ye and mustered a vicious smile in his final breaths, “Just you wait… Izanami-sama shall avenge me…”

Whoosh… When the gleam faded, a dark luster glowed from Qin Ye’s chest, and Hell’s Records flew out. Then, a line of text quickly added an entry to the records as though someone were writing on it.

Place of Origin: Liu Er Mound Village, Gazi Gully, Tang An County, Qingguang City

Date of Birth: 1 October 1938

Qin Ye ignored it.

That felt great!

Kkkrrrr… He dragged his demonhead saber on the ground as he walked towards the half-spider lady menacingly, “Tell me what’s going on in your underworld, and I might consider letting you die swiftly.”

“Possession… it seems like something did happen to Cathay’s underworld…”

Just then, Arthis’ voice whispered icily in his ears, “Break her limbs and imprison her in the new Hell.”

Before she could even finish speaking, the half-spider lady suddenly opened her mouth wide, and her tongue lashed out like a whip. With a shrill shriek, her tongue swept around and then plunged straight into her own chest.

“One day, we’ll trample over the Cathayan Hell! You’d best enjoy it while it lasts! Hahaha…”

The demonhead saber passed through the void like a bolt of lightning. The manic expression on the half-spider lady’s face froze in time. Then, a second later, her body exploded into a cloud of Yin energy.

Whoosh… Hell’s Records flew out once more and began to update its records. The final number was erased and updated to 2,200/2,000.

Merit points required for promotion to an Anitya Hellguard - fulfilled!

1. This is one of the Eighteen Abysses of Punishment.

2. I’m going to be referring to Qin Ye as ‘she’ while Arthis remains in control of his body.
