Chapter 357: Despair

The black shadow was destroyed by Jiang Lan.

Its actual strength was not much different from Jiang Lan’s estimation.

It seemed that the power of the attack wouldn’t change much as long as his mind was there.

This wasn’t a competition of one’s state of mind.

Perhaps it was because this place was not controlled by humans.

This was the edge of the Netherworld.

The other party couldn’t come out, and neither could Jiang Lan’s physical body.

This made it fair and equal for both parties.

After killing one, Jiang Lan didn’t continue attacking.

Instead, he looked at the surrounding shadows.

He needed to find a way out.

So far, he had been unable to jump out directly.

He was not strong enough.

“You’re actually this strong?” A woman walked out.

“Every figure here is my carrier. Can you kill one or all of them?”

“What if I do manage to kill all of them?” Jiang Lan asked.

“You want to go out, right?” The black shadow looked at Jiang Lan and chuckled.

“You might be able to get out after killing all of us.”

Its personality had also become that of a female? Jiang Lan was puzzled.

The other party should be a man. After borrowing the body of a woman, he now looked and sounded like a woman.

Without much thought, Jiang Lan arrived before the female figure and punched out.

Bang!

It exploded into black mist.

It couldn’t heal.

“Perhaps?” Jiang Lan asked.

“Of course, it’s just a possibility. I am just giving you hope by saying you can leave after killing all of us. However, if you can’t leave after killing us all, do you think you will feel despair?” A beast walked out with a sinister smile.

It was as if he was trying to break down Jiang Lan’s inner heart.

Jiang Lan leapt up, arriving above the vicious beast and stomping down.

Bang!

The vicious beast was directly crushed by Jiang Lan.

“Then how long do you think it will take for me to kill all of you?” Jiang Lan’s calm voice sounded.

“Do you know? As long as the Netherworld Aura is still erupting, I will never die. Human, feel despair and then become one of us.

The more confidence you have now, the more despair you will feel in the future.” A flying eagle laughed.

Jiang Lan reached out and grabbed the eagle. Then, he tore it apart.

Slosh.

The eagle was torn apart by Jiang Lan.

This time, Jiang Lan didn’t say anything.

He sensed something. He hadn’t consumed much energy.

It might have something to do with the mind.

Regardless of how strong one’s state of mind was, it was the foundation of everything.

His heart was calm and unaffected.

Therefore, there was no consumption.

If it had never been affected…

Perhaps there would be endless power for him to squander.

Jiang Lan smiled.

“Have you ever seen a purgatory?”

“Is there a place more representative of a purgatory than the Netherworld?” A child-like figure walked out.

Jiang Lan ignored him.

Instead, he opened his mouth and said,

“Eight Desolates, Purgatory.”

Boom!

At this moment, boundless flames began to spread.

“Ah ah ah!” The child was burned by the flames. He could feel the pain, but there was still a smile in his voice.

“Such terrifying flames. Human, the human mind is limited. The moment you are exhausted will be the moment you feel despair.”

…

…

The full moon hung in the sky.

Mo Zhengdong stood in front of the Netherworld Cave.

He had been standing there for a long time.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something and turned around to look at the Netherworld Cave.

He turned around and walked away.

…

At this moment, a vicious beast was crawling out from the entrance of the Netherworld.

Mo Zhengdong came to its side and looked down at it.

The pitch-black beast was somewhat frightened.

It instinctively wanted to escape.

However, before it could even take two steps, it was reduced to ashes.

Mo Zhengdong paid no attention to the beast.

He did not come in for these beasts.

Instead…

He realized that the Netherworld’s Entrance was missing some Netherworld Aura.

“The same method. The demons are truly not tired of it.”

Mo Zhengdong took a glance at Jiang Lan, who had his eyes closed. In the end, his body dissipated like mist.

He had gone out.

…

There were countless connection points in the Ice Cicada Forest, all of which were converging toward the center.

At this moment, Fei Yuan, who was standing in the middle, looked at the mouth of the Netherworld Well in shock.

The Netherworld beings were almost out. It was actually so fast.

It was way faster than what they had expected.

It was no wonder that the people of the Heavenly Human Race had said that they had to do their best for them to succeed.

Yes, they were already racing against time and there was a high chance that they had already been discovered.

If that was the case, they might as well do everything they could to open the crack in the passageway from the Netherworld and let the Netherworld beings out.

At this moment, a powerful aura emerged from the mouth of the Netherworld Well.

“Hang in there for a while longer. The connection will be established soon.”

Fei Yuan immediately said.

As long as the connection was complete, they would have a chance of survival.

Crack!

At this moment, cracking sounds could be heard.

Now, all he had to do was wait for it to break open.

They could even escape.

However, it was not the time yet. They needed to do their best to let the other party come out quickly.

Thick Netherworld Aura overflowed, rushing into the horizon.

Crack!

More and more cracks appeared, as if the barrier would shatter at any moment.

“Just a little longer. Just a little longer.”

They chanted in their hearts.

However, at the last moment, an unparalleled aura descended from the sky.

They looked up.

What they saw was a figure, but this figure seemed to possess boundless radiance.

Zi!

Their eyes burned.

“Ahhh!”

The two of them stopped casting their spells and covered their eyes in pain.

The pain was bone-piercing.

“It seems that the crack has been opened. They now have the ability to come out.”

Mo Zhengdong stood at the mouth of the well and looked at the creature that was crawling out.

Laughter came from the Netherworld’s Entrance.

“The powerhouses of the human race seem really strong!”

Mo Zhengdong did not answer. Instead, he looked to Fei Yuan and his partner. Then, he waved his hand.

A gust of wind blew past.

However, they could sense a scorching heatwave surging towards them.

In the next moment, their flesh was blown away by the wind, as if half of it had been blown away.

And then their bones.

In merely a breath’s time, both of them turned into dust.

In fact, no screams could be heard.

Only then did Mo Zhengdong look down at the Netherworld expert and say.

“You showed up at the wrong time.”

“Haha, human, you are very strong. I admit defeat this time. I hope you can still make it next time.” The Netherworld expert spoke.

Then, he gave up on going out.

There was no need for him to even try.

There was no way for him to come out safely.

Just as he was about to leave, Mo Zhengdong spoke again.

“There won’t be a next time.”

“Eh? What do you mean?

“Human, even if I can’t go out… what is this?” The Netherworld expert who was originally calm was suddenly stunned.

This was because he saw a bolt of lightning from Mo Zhengdong’s body.

The bolt of lightning surged into the well.

“Ahhh!”

Screams came from the well as a powerful force wreaked havoc inside.

“No, don’t do this. I’m never coming out again… ahhhhh! Let me go…”

Bang!

Fresh blood spurted out from the Netherworld’s Entrance.

After that, no sounds could be heard.

Mo Zhengdong lowered his brows and said softly.

“You have always thought that the seal was to prevent you from coming out.. However, you have never thought from another perspective that it in fact exists to prevent us from going in to wipe all of you out.”
