"Untie." The middle-aged soul known as Hammer waved his hand to the strong man to untie the hemp ropes on Xiao Shizhu's and their hands. After scanning the ghosts on the opposite side, his eyes finally fell on Xiao Shizhu's calm and composed figure.
On his face, he asked with half-belief and doubt: "Are you the Nine Nether King?" His tone was stiff and full of suspicion.
"Exactly." After straightening his back and rubbing his slightly sore and numb wrist, Xiao Shizhu nodded and stood tall, staring at the hammer.
"What's the proof?" Bangtou closed his eyes slightly and asked again. He had never seen the legendary King of Nine Netherworlds, so he was naturally unsure whether the human soul standing in this room was really the Nine Netherworld King.
King You.
"This is the imperial edict granted by Emperor Fengdu to allow me to conquer all the vassal states in the underworld at will. I believe you all have heard of it." Xiao Shizhu slowly pulled out a rolled-up imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to the strong man beside him.
: "This proves that I am the Nine Nether King."
Xiao Shizhu had already guessed that someone would doubt his identity if he came here rashly. He was well prepared and carried the imperial edict with him just to be prepared for this moment.
The strong man took the imperial edict, unfolded it slowly, and then carefully inspected it. After discovering that there was no hidden weapon that could hurt anyone, he handed it to the hammer with both hands.
The hammer had also seen the imperial edict of Emperor Fengdu from the big leader Sanmiao before. After taking a closer look, he saw that the handwriting, seal and anti-counterfeiting pattern on the imperial edict handed over by Xiao Shizhu were exactly the same as the imperial edicts issued by Emperor Fengdu in the past. After that, he stood up
He walked to Xiao Shizhu and handed the imperial edict back, smiling slightly and saying: "It's just an imperial edict, but I'm still not sure you are the real King of Nine Netherworlds."
After a pause, Haotou said with a half-smile, "Perhaps you stole this edict?" However, his tone was not as harsh as before.
"Then how do you want to prove it?" Xiao Shizhu was not surprised. He smiled calmly and slowly rolled up the imperial edict and put it in his sleeve.
"I have heard for a long time that King Jiuyou is good at fighting. He conquered Wu Zhiqi in the east, the Ghost King in the west, and the Gonggong Kingdom in the south. He must have won every battle. He must be a ghost with great skills and a strong spirit." Hammer slowly circled him.
He walked slowly, looking at the tall and thin Xiao Shizhu with a slightly disdainful gaze: "And we, Sanmiao, advocate force, and we really want to see the capabilities of King Jiuyou."
"It's not that exaggerated. I almost died during the Western Expedition against the Ghost King, okay?" Xiao Shizhu yelled.
"You want to fight me?" After a pause, he sneered again, his eyes moved up and down, and he looked at the hammer that was standing in front of him.
"Of course not me." Hammer smiled again, stretched his head forward, and whispered in Xiao Shizhu's ear: "You have to fight the Rock Fire Bear."
After half a stick of incense, all the Sanmiao ghosts in the village heard the dull drumming in the ancient building, and gathered around the square, surrounding it three floors inside and three floors outside, which was like a blockage.
Xiao Shizhu, who still didn't understand what the three seedlings were going to do, stood in front of the Drum Tower door with his hands behind his hands, staring blankly at the hammer next to him who didn't know what he was trying to do.
When he saw that almost all the ghosts, old and young, in the village were gathered around him, the hammer took a deep breath, then looked around at them and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."
The loud voice resounded around the square, and the crowd of ghosts who were still bustling suddenly became quiet, and all their eyes fell on Hammer.
"Standing next to me is a human soul who claims to be the Nine Nether King. If he wants to prove his identity, he must defeat Yunmengze's fierce beast, the Rock Fire Bear." The hammer jumped up and fell steadily in the blink of an eye.
On the top of the Drum Tower, he continued to shout loudly: "Only when he shows his power, will we admit that he is the real Nine Nether King, the legendary human soul who is invincible in every battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the ghosts around him flashed with excitement, and they all shouted loudly.
At the same time, the ground in the entire square, except for the foundation under the Drum Tower, sank downwards.
Amidst the rumbling sound, Xiao Shizhu stumbled, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground. Fortunately, the ground only sank three feet downward before stopping, and Xiao Shizhu slowly regained his footing.
After the huge square sank, twelve iron arches were inlaid on the smooth walls around it. You could vaguely see two green and fierce lights glowing in the smelly dimness behind the door, showing evil intentions.
Looking at Xiao Shizhu, in an instant, the entire square turned into a circular colosseum.
"If he cannot defeat these twelve rock fire bears, then he is the fake Nine Nether King. How should we treat the liar?" The superior Hammer continued to speak, looking down at Xiao Shizhu and asked.
"Burn him to death! Burn him to death!" The Sanmiao ghosts around him exclaimed again without hesitation. The shouting was so justified, and it fully demonstrated that the tough folk customs here are not in vain.
"Yes, burn him to death." Hammer shouted and ordered: "Open the fence!".
"You don't have to be so big, right?" Xiao Shizhu shouted; this result was beyond his expectation. But just as he shouted, the iron gates made dull sounds one after another, and slowly rose up without giving him any chance.
Opportunity for bargaining.
"Father, tear up those bears!" Xiao Fuling, who was lying on the edge of the square and looking down, also shouted excitedly: "Tear them into pieces!". The shout was actually louder than the surrounding Sanmiao ghosts.
Even the big flower who was following her looked up to the sky with excitement and barked wildly.
"It's really not a big deal to watch the excitement." Xiao Shizhu cursed, and saw huge bears that were more than ten feet long, covered with red hair, and had faces like dog heads and big mouths, slowly easing through twelve door openings.
Step out.
The breeze blows in bursts, blowing the fiery red hair covering their bodies, making them look as if they are bathed in flames.
The panting giant bears, with green smoke rising from their nostrils every time they breathed in, slowly surrounded Xiao Shizhu, sizing up the prey in front of them with eager eyes, grinning, revealing their sharp fangs,
A lot of saliva flowed out.
"You must be cruel to fight a bear." Xiao Shizhu was startled, raised his head and raised his hand, pointed straightly at the hammer on the drum tower, and cursed: "It's still a fight against twelve."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rock fire bear facing him had spread its four claws and galloped towards him.
Xiao Shizhu looked at the plump giant bear, but after it started to run, he opened his eyes wide and complained urgently: "Is your mother puffy?".
It was too late and then too fast. When he finally uttered the word "?", the rock fire bear had already rushed to stand in front of him, raising its broad and thick bear paws high, aiming at Xiao Shizhu's
Tian Ling Gai took it down without hesitation.
The palm fell and the wind arose, whistling and landing on the place where Xiao Shizhu was before. Then there was a series of loud bangs, the ground cracked, gravel shot up and dust flew up, bringing up a gray mist.
Xiao Shizhu has disappeared.
In the Colosseum, the three seedlings were silent for a while; even Xiao Fuling, who had been shouting just now, felt nervous and suddenly fell silent. Her eyes were fixed on the increasingly dense gray fog, looking for her father's figure.
"Don't worry." A pair of slender hands gently landed on her shoulders.
"Do you remember what Master said?" Xiao Fuling was startled, and suddenly turned her head to see Xiao Si putting his hand on her shoulder, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "In this huge underworld, who can compete with the Lord?"
There are only ghosts, Emperor Fengdu."
As soon as these words came out, the tension on Xiao Fuling's face instantly dissipated and turned into a look of determination.
At the same time, the three seedlings around were booing, and they all said with disdain on their faces: "What the hell, the Nine Nether King, he was killed with just one palm from the beast soul!".
"Father!" Xiao Fuling stood up after hearing this, put her hands on both sides of her mouth and shouted downwards: "Twist off the bear's head and throw it up!".
As soon as she spoke, a golden light appeared in the gray mist. When it flashed away, animal blood splashed everywhere. Before the rock fire bear that slapped Xiao Shizhu had time to scream, the huge bear head came out from behind.
It detached from the neck and flew down.
"I told you not to hit someone in the face. A slap in the face hurts your self-esteem. You beast, you still say hello to my face." A figure suddenly appeared in the gray fog, walking slowly towards the collapsed body of the Rock Fire Bear outside the fog.
go.
In the blink of an eye, the figure had already walked out of the gray mist, and it was none other than Xiao Shizhu; the bear's head abandoned at high altitude also fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped at his feet.
He stood intact in front of everyone, with a dazzling golden light glowing on his body, like a god descending to earth.
When all the ghosts saw it, they all gasped and fell silent. Even the high-ranking Hammer was stunned for a moment and felt a bit of admiration for Xiao Shizhu.
To become the strongest Sanmiao warrior under him, facing an adult rock fire bear and killing it without a weapon would take less than half a cup of tea.
But Xiao Shizhu only used it for a moment to make the rock fire bear's head disappear, which is really remarkable.
At the same time, the eleven rock fire bears, whose savage and bloodthirsty nature was inspired by their bloody confusion, also roared and rushed toward Xiao Shizhu.
"It's endless?" Xiao Shizhu closed his eyes, clenched his fists and cursed, then suddenly opened his eyes. The eyes that were supposed to be white on the outside but black on the inside suddenly turned into gold on the outside and black on the inside.
, and countless tiny blue lights appeared in the black pupils, flying and rotating in the pupils; like an endless universe, endlessly growing in his eyes.
"Ancient God Xuan Tong? How is that possible?" Looking closely at Xiao Shizhu's eyes, the hammer exclaimed.
As early as when he was in the human world, he had seen the eyes of Xiao Shizhu that were exactly the same as Xiao Shizhu's at this time in the ancient gods. The power in them could create unparalleled power and control the power of nature, which he still cannot forget. Every time he thinks about it, he still can't help but feel a twinge of pain all over his body.
trembling.
Just when he was in shock, Xiao Shizhu, who had a look on his face, raised his right hand without hesitation, grabbed it forward, and stretched out the long mouth of the rock fire bear that rushed from his right side.
At this time, these rock fire bears running like the wind seemed to him to be slow and leisurely, and not something to be afraid of at all.
Then he snorted coldly, jumped up on his tiptoes, and turned forward in the air. While the windpipe of the rock fire bear on the right was violently torn out from its throat, the windpipe from his front and back
The two rock fire bears that attacked suddenly collided with each other, staggered back two steps, and fell to the ground with their legs in the air.
With the beast's blood splashing, Xiao Shizhu dodged and pounced on the giant bear in front of him. While it was still dazed from the fall, he grabbed the giant bear's head with both hands, twisted it with all his strength, and the whole bear's head was hit by him again.
It twisted off forcefully.
The three seedlings and ghosts outside the Colosseum were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
This was the first time in their lives for most of them to see such a powerful human soul. In just a moment, they killed three rock fire bears, but they were completely unscathed. It was enough to make them open their mouths and stare.
The big eyes were shocked.
Just when they were stunned, Xiao Shizhu, who was covered in blood, was already fighting in the cheers of Xiao Fuling. He used the ghost magic power and turned into a ghost as fast as lightning. After a series of afterimages, he killed
To the surviving rock fire bears.
In the Colosseum, the roars and cries of the giant bears sounded one after another. (To be continued)
