Chapter 511: The Vortex of Fate (1)

It was the perfect target. Infernal Judges were by no means the bottom of the hierarchy in Hell, and there was no way that Judges wouldn’t be in the slightest bit unaware of the reasons for a change in dynasty. That said, they weren’t considered the top officials of Hell either. Hell might not necessarily react swiftly even if an Infernal Judge were captured from them.

Black Yaksha and Crow Tengu could sense the existence of thousands of Yin soldiers scattered throughout the entire city, yet not a single one of them was by the Infernal Judge’s side right now!

Her infuriated cry was like a massive boulder that shattered the otherwise tranquil surface of a lake. At once, a massive wave surged in the wake of her cry!

“Hah!!!” Yin energy erupted once more as she unleashed the might of the Dance of the Heavenly Wheel. Two brilliant rings of light burst forth from the wheel like deadly blades, carving deep cracks in the ground wherever it passed. Even the trees in the vicinity were sliced into pieces with immaculate, clean cuts. Likewise, the buildings and street lights around instantly collapsed to the ground in a cloud of dust and debris.

Arthis’ eyes turned bloodshot. She promptly turned towards Qin Ye, intending to rush to his aid. However, she stopped after a single step, and instead drew upon every bit of Yin energy in her body.

The two Nipponese emissaries knew full well the stakes in these operations. They had to move swiftly and decisively, and there was simply no room for reservation!

Arthis gasped deeply. With a grave expression, her hands flew into action, forming a series of hand seals as quickly as she could. And then, there was an earth-shattering bang.

Everything on the streets in a twenty meter radius completely disintegrated. The trees, buildings and street lamps which had earlier been sliced into pieces by Arthis were crumbled to dust in an instant, before being sent scattering away in a shockwave of dust and debris several meters tall.

Even then, his eyes were hardly relaxed at all. Crow Tengu’s golden pupils darted here and there, scanning his surroundings vigilantly, while his body was hunched and poised to strike. Just then, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly shifted, stretching tens of meters in an instant, before rising from the ground and lurching straight towards Crow Tengu’s jugulars.

Clang clang clang!! The sound of clashing iron resonated incessantly as the two mighty ghosts traded blows. As soon as he detected the opening strike of the shadow on the ground, Crow Tengu concealed his entire being with his glorious winds, repelling every single attack with a soft clang. Five seconds later, with a furious whistle, Crow Tengu opened his wings abruptly, unleashing a shockwave of Yin energy that swept thousands of meters in all directions. Meanwhile, a five-meter tall monster rose from the darkness that was earlier concealed by the feathers.

Before he could even finish, the shadows around him promptly converged into a massive ball that was hundreds of meters in circumference. Within moments, blood-red cracks appeared on the ball of shadow, followed by the appearance of bloodshot eyes that were all trained onto Crow Tengu.

“You’re getting desperate, aren’t you?” Crow Tengu’s feathers ruffled up, and his claws dug deeper into the ground below. A split second later, his entire body erupted into netherflames, and he swiftly rushed towards the ball of shadow like a terrifying meteor!

Meanwhile, Arthis spread her arms almost as though she were embracing a blood moon. At once, a scarlet light erupted from the bloodshot eyes, pouring forth in all directions like a tide of blood washing straight into the oceans!

………………………………………………………

Black Yaksha.

Liu Yu aside, perhaps not even Zhou Yu, Ma Fubo and the other envoys of Hell would be a match for the Nipponese emissary standing right before his eyes!

Then, just as he was about to launch a preemptive strike against Black Yaksha, he was suddenly dismayed to find that his opponent was no longer standing right where he was!

He swung his spear back with all his might. The air roared with the sound of sonic booms. Unfortunately, he didn’t feel the tactile sensation of striking something. Instead, he only felt the tip of his spear being depressed slightly. He turned around at once, motioning to retract his lance, only to witness a sight that caused his heart to sink.

Countless human faces, including those of men and women, old and young alike, rushed out from these cracks. Meanwhile, hundreds of hands rushed out from the cracks on his back just like a thousand handed goddess of mercy.

“Come… with us…” The faces emerging from the body cried out with twisted expressions, “Do you agree, or do you not?!!”

Without hesitation, he forcibly stopped his attack and bowed back as he retreated. Meanwhile, his Zhong Kui hat shattered into pieces as dozens of hands swept past where he was just an instant ago.

How powerful… He’s far more powerful than I’d expected him to be!

He’s trying to reduce my being to nothing more than a soul before forcibly capturing me… Qin Ye finally understood what Black Yaksha was trying to do. With gritted teeth, Qin Ye unleashed a flurry of attacks to repel Black Yaksha claws of darkness.

Clang clang clang!!! Qin Ye parried a series of strikes. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a Yin spirit adept at combat. After just ten seconds, he backed off with a muffled groan. Countless cracks had already begun to appear in his armor formed by the Book of Life and Death, while his breastplate was already on the verge of breaking down.

I can’t allow things to drag on any longer!

“Damn it… And just when I’d instructed the daolord of the asura to back off as well! Otherwise… do you really think you’d be able to act so arrogantly in front of me right now?!” Qin Ye glared intently at Black Yaksha. Needless to say, this monster had opened his eyes to a whole new level of oppressiveness, combat experience and techniques altogether! The only thing Qin Ye could do right now was to fight for his own life!

Time seemed to freeze in that very instant.

It was as though a wave of stifling silence and terror had just washed over his body.

His heart screamed in terror and fear. An electrifying sensation filled every fiber of his being. His clothes were blown back by the gust of wind that came together with Black Yaksha’s swift approach. Right now, he was only half a meter away from Qin Ye, and already stretching his claws out towards Qin Ye’s jugular!

“What’s this…” Black Yaksha turned around, only to see a plump man dressed in ancient armor standing right behind him with a large sac beneath his throat and his mouth wide open!

Voyage of Ten Thousand Ghosts - Spatial Spirit!

SSSS!!!

He was now certain of one thing.

Otherwise, there’s simply no way he would be granted the protection of this many special Yin spirits!
