Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 69 The Five Tigers of the Underworld Appear! A Strange Scroll!

Little did he know that Lu Chen possessed the extraordinary ability to set the tone for Huai Lan.

Moreover, the "Pure Water" technique is a natural counter to his Xuan Water Transformation Technique.

If it really comes down to a protracted battle, Lu Chen might not lose to him.

In the blink of an eye, all of the dozen or so Xuan Shui evil spirits had been eliminated.

Only puddles of water remained on the ground, forming small puddles.

"This is the moment!"

Lu Chen's mind raced, and the mysterious power of the [River Dragon King]'s water veins suddenly came into play.

Although this place is not a major river, it is not possible to fully utilize the Water Escape Technique.

But this supernatural ability still allows Lu Chen to greatly increase his speed in the water!
Almost instantly, Lu Chen's speed increased to an astonishing level, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Before Ling Shui Shangren could even react, Lu Chen had already approached him like a ghost!
"You little dwarf, prepare to die!!!"

Lu Chen exhaled and shouted, unleashing a powerful punch with fierce and sharp wind!

"boom!!"

A muffled sound!
The scene that Ling Shui Shangren was expected to be knocked away did not occur!

Lu Chen's fist was gripped tightly by a withered hand about three inches from the opponent's face.

The force of the impact from the fist was unusually deep and powerful, which startled Lu Chen.

Ling Shui Shangren slowly pried open his fist, revealing a ferocious and smug smile on his face: "Boy, you underestimate a third-grade spiritualist!"

Before he could finish speaking, an extremely terrifying aura pressed down on him!
"boom!!!"

Ling Shui Shangren unleashed his other fist with thunderous force, slamming it into Lu Chen's chest!
Lu Chen felt as if he had been hit head-on by a flying mountain, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, like a cannonball being fired.

"Boom!"

With two loud crashes, he broke two trees as thick as bowls, and his momentum was barely stopped by a large tree that required two people to hug.

In an instant, sawdust flew everywhere and dust filled the air.

"Hahaha!" Master Lingshui let out a triumphant and arrogant roar: "A mere second-grade spirit practitioner dares to be so insolent in front of me! Let's see if you don't die!"

He looked smugly at the place where the smoke and dust were billowing.

However, the laughter stopped abruptly the next moment, and Ling Shui's face showed disbelief once again.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure slowly rose, his movements so steady they chilled and saddened him.

I'll smash it! It's still not dead?!
"Hehe, thanks to this defensive divine power, combined with my own magical power protecting me, otherwise I would have really capsized in the gutter today."

Lu Chen patted the dust off his body. Although he felt a sharp pain in his chest, his injuries were healing rapidly at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

"Alright, warm-up over. These supernatural abilities are indeed impressive; they didn't disappoint me."

Lu Chen twisted his neck, very satisfied with the performance of the Four Dragon Gods' talents in actual combat.

Immediately, a sinister smile, even more chilling than that of the Spirit Water Immortal, appeared on his face. "As for your third-grade strength... it's not too bad. As expected, being a whole realm below, it won't be so easy to challenge someone of a higher level."

Lu Chen looked at the bewildered Xuan Shui Shangren in the air and said with a teasing tone, "Thank you, little dwarf, for helping me test my moves!"

"What did you say, a trial move?!"

Master Lingshui was both shocked and furious, and a sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.

His punch just now was almost entirely unrestrained. Not to mention a second-grade spiritualist, even a third-grade spiritualist of the same level would lose half their life if they took it head-on.

How could this kid act like nothing happened?
The crucial point is, he also mentioned a trial recruitment?

Could it be that he has been holding back all along?

impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!

However, the next second, something happened that made Ling Shui's scalp tingle completely.

Lu Chen flipped his hand, and the Yama's Decree on the back of his hand suddenly appeared, emitting a blood-red light.

"boom!!!"

A towering black aura shot into the sky like a tornado, and Lu Chen's hair instantly grew wildly to his waist, dancing wildly in the howling wind.

Master Xuan Shui was terrified, his face turning deathly pale. He nearly fell from the void, pointing at Lu Chen and shouting, "You, you... are you a human or a ghost?!"

A quick glance revealed a blood-red glint in those scarlet eyes, which, combined with his deathly pale face, made him look exactly like a vengeful ghost crawling out of the deepest hell!
Lu Chen's lips curled into a terrifying smile: "Want to know? Then keep that question for the King of Hell down there!"

"Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face!"

Lu Chen shouted, his voice echoing across the surrounding area.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Four thick black wisps, like evil dragons, shot into the sky from both sides of Lu Chen!

Amidst the surging black mist, four figures exuding a terrifying and sinister aura slowly stepped out.

The four great messengers of the underworld have been summoned and are now descending!
Besides the previously seen, cold and aloof Fan Rusong and Xie Qingyi, who are both Black and White Impermanence with a touch of playfulness.

The newly appeared bull's head had skin as if forged from red copper, inlaid with mysterious dark blue-black beast patterns, and the hairs on its forehead stood up like steel needles.
The horse-faced man had a pale, bloodless, bluish-gray face with eerie, faint black markings etched on his cheekbones.

"Your subordinate pays respects to General Zhengde of the Underworld!!!"

The moment the four Yin Messengers appeared, they all knelt on one knee before Lu Chen, clasped their hands in salute, and their voices boomed, their Yin energy soaring to the heavens.

"General Zhengde of the Underworld?!" Master Lingshui was utterly shocked, hardly believing his ears: "You actually worship the King of Hell! And you even hold a divine position in the Underworld!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly: "You do have some knowledge, but... there's no reward! Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face!"

"Your subordinates are here!" The voices of the four underworld officials rang out like the clanging of metal.

Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed at the Spirit Water Master in the air: "Take him down! Leave him alive!"

"Follow orders!!"

Before the words were even finished, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, as if it had instantly transformed into a ghostly realm, with the mournful howls of countless vengeful ghosts surging in from all directions!
The four Yin Messengers vanished like wisps of smoke. In the next instant, they were already positioned in four directions, carrying overwhelming Yin energy, and simultaneously pounced on Master Lingshui!
Xie Qingyi, the White Impermanence, held a pale mourning staff. With one swing of the staff, all the ghosts grieved and the cold wind howled.
Fan Rusong, the Black Impermanence, swung his dark soul-snatching rope, the chain stretching across the sky and shaking the void.
The bull-headed creature swung its massive axe, which was shrouded in an impenetrable black mist. Even before the axe blade reached the ground, the shrill screams of vengeful ghosts were already terrifying.
Horse-faced warrior wields a soul-beating whip with a skull embedded at its tip; wherever the whip passes, ghostly blue flames scorch the soul!
Witnessing this scene, Master Lingshui was nearly driven out of his body on the spot, his liver and gallbladder shattered!

"A ghost!!!!!!!!!"

He let out a shrill, distorted scream, desperately channeling all his magical power, and turned to flee.

"boom!!"

The bull's giant axe fell first, splitting a deep trench in the ground.

Immediately afterward, the White Impermanence's mourning staff swung down, the eerie wind so fierce it almost blew Ling Shui away. Yet, as the wind brushed against his body, Ling Shui felt his soul sway, as if his very being was about to be blown away from his body.

Suddenly, his feet tightened as if they were being held fast by something.

Looking back, Master Lingshui was so frightened he almost lost control of his bladder.

One of his feet was bound by the Black Impermanence's soul-snatching rope, while the other foot was tightly bound by the Horse-Face's soul-beating whip.

In an instant, Master Lingshui felt a tearing pain in his soul, as if his entire soul was being forcibly dragged out of his body, and the world spun before his eyes.

The shadow of death was clearer and more intense than ever before, so much so that even the feeling of fear didn't have time to fully spread.

Just then, his vision suddenly went dark again. When he looked up, he saw Lu Chen, enveloped in black mist, leaping above him like a demon god!

boom! ! !
Lu Chen landed, his feet creating two deep pits, and one hand gripped Ling Shui Shangren's throat like an iron clamp, slamming him hard into the ground!
A huge crater was blown open in the ground, and Master Lingshui spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning a deep liver color.

Before he could catch his breath, Lu Chen had already dragged him by the neck, like dragging a dead dog, and plowed him wildly forward along the road!

The hard dirt road surface was plowed out with a deep ditch several meters long!

Finally, Lu Chen lifted the barely breathing and tattered Ling Shui Shangren into the air.

"Little dwarf, how does it feel to be at someone's mercy?"

Lu Chen stared at the pair of pupils in his hand, their pupils glazed over with fear, his voice icy and chilling.

With his last ounce of strength, Master Lingshui managed to squeeze out a weak plea for mercy: "General... spare... spare my life..."

"General, you must not spare him!" Fan Rusong, the Black Impermanence, reminded him at this moment. With a light wave of her jade hand, a bloody light rose from the body of the Spirit Water Immortal.

Within that bloody light, countless twisted, painful, and ferocious faces were howling and roaring. Upon closer inspection, there were dozens or even hundreds of them!
All of them were innocent lives that were brutally murdered by the Master of Lingshui!

Seeing the souls struggling amidst the soaring resentment and blood, Lu Chen's gaze instantly turned icy cold, and his killing intent spread like a tangible force.

"Boom!!"

A black lightning bolt, without warning, ripped through the void and struck the Spirit Water Immortal precisely on the head.

The next moment, Master Lingshui, along with his clothes, vanished without a trace.

It was that domineering and unparalleled [Underworld Divine Thunder], specifically used to send beings to the underworld.

This is an essential skill for home and travel, as well as for murder and cover-ups!

Call ~
After finishing dealing with the spiritual water, Lu Chen felt a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Then there was a soft "thud," as if something had fallen to the ground.

That's when he regained his attention.

Lu Chen looked down and saw that on the ground that had been cleansed by divine lightning, there lay a scroll of peculiar material that looked quite ancient.

He bent down and picked it up. The ancient scroll felt neither like leather nor paper; it was rough and hard, and it was difficult to discern its specific material.

"This is... a loot drop?" Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He knew the power of the underworld's divine thunder; whether it was a living thing or an ordinary dead thing, such as the teacup from before, or the clothes of the Spirit Water Master, they would all be sent to the underworld in an instant.

But the fact that this ancient scroll has survived intact is clearly extraordinary.

"What's written on it?"

Lu Chen stared at the cover of the scroll, which had several crooked, hieroglyphic patterns on it that he couldn't decipher at all.

"Do you know?" Lu Chen handed the ancient scroll to the four underworld officials.

The four underworld officials looked closely, exchanged bewildered glances, and all shook their heads.

"Reporting to the general, this subordinate does not recognize it."

"Alright, let's keep it for now."

Lu Chen put the ancient scroll away.

"Boom!!!"

Just then, another violent collision and roaring sound came from deep within the forest.

"There is still one!"

Lu Chen's eyes sharpened, and without further delay, his figure transformed into a black streak of light, shooting swiftly towards the direction from which the sounds of battle were coming.

The four underworld messengers immediately followed.

……

Deep in the woods, the battle raged on.

The woman with red spots must have used some kind of evil secret technique; her muscles bulged wildly, and a ghastly green aura clung to her body, tearing her clothes apart! Two ferocious fangs protruded from the corners of her mouth, transforming her into a monster.

On the other side, Sun Yourong clearly hadn't expected that this woman with red spots would possess such demonic and evil magic.

After more than a hundred rounds of fierce fighting, she had suffered serious internal injuries, and a trickle of bright red blood was slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Hehehe, you bitch, I didn't expect you to actually have some skills." The red-spotted woman let out a piercing laugh like an owl. "Since I started using the Rakshasa Technique, I've never had a worthy opponent. You're the first!"

She licked her fangs, her eyes gleaming with a cruel and excited light: "However, to die by my secret technique is an honor for you! Considering your appearance is rather attractive, rest assured, I will carefully peel off your skin and keep it!"

Having said that, she raised her wolf-tooth hammer and was about to pounce again.

However, just as she lunged forward, a hand silently landed on her shoulder.

The woman with the red spots was suddenly startled, horrified to find that she could not move!
They even noticed that Sun Yourong across from them suddenly widened her eyes, her gaze filled with fear and disbelief.

"Wow!!!"

At that moment, a chill instantly shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and the woman with red spots stiffly and slowly turned her head away.

What came into her view were five figures taller than her, exuding an endless sinister aura, forcing her to look up.

Each of these five figures had crimson eyes that flashed like a deep abyss of blood!
Black and White Impermanence?!
Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon? !
And the most terrifying one is...

"Bang!"

The woman with erythema suffered a sudden and severe liver and gallbladder rupture.

The spiked hammer slipped from his hand and fell to the ground...
