Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

As early as yesterday.

Chen Feng, in the name of the King of Hell, invited the three Heavenly Kings to watch a good show.

They saw the three Heavenly Kings being led by Chen Feng into the rest room where the undercover agents were located.

Ah Fei then knew that the kid who snitched must be saying, "Twirling the Yangko on the edge of a cliff—his good days are over."

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Chen Feng walked out.

Ah Fei asked curiously, "Big brother, how was it?"

Chen Feng said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, he passed away peacefully."

Ah Fei said, "That's alright."

But then, Chen Feng's lips curled into a smile, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahaha, I was just kidding, that kid died a really terrible death."

After laughing, Chen Feng instructed, "Afei, have the men bring in the table. I need to discuss business with the three Heavenly Kings."

Ah Fei waved to his motorcycle subordinates: "Don't worry, it's all arranged."

A short while later.

The staff break room at Station No. 8.

Chen Feng, the Heavenly King, the Human King, and the Beast King sat around a round table.

The table was piled high with all sorts of beef, mutton, and vegetable meatballs ready to be cooked, and in the very center was a bubbling hot pot with two separate broths simmering.

Through the white steam, the faces of the four diners were somewhat blurred.

Chen Feng's favorite gangster movie is "Infernal Affairs," which is why he dragged the three kings out for hot pot to talk about rebellion: "Today is Ghost Festival, the day to offer tribute to the Ghost King."

As he spoke, Chen Feng picked up a piece of cooked mutton and rolled it in sesame sauce: "I'm the youngest here, so let me put it bluntly: all you Heavenly Kings are guarding the territory for the Ghost King, working yourselves to the bone every day, but how much of it actually ends up in our mouths?"

The Beast King wholeheartedly agreed: "Hmph, it takes nine out of ten percent of the money in Cihang City."

The King of Men nodded: "Yes, it does nothing, so why should it?"

The Heavenly King further revealed a secret: "Not only that, the Ghost King cleans up his officials every five hundred years. Judging by the time, it's about time he dealt with our batch."

After saying that, the three ghosts looked at Chen Feng: "What do you mean, brother?"

Chen Feng cut to the chase: "Isn't he just a minor ghost king? Let's take care of him! There's no time like the present, let's seize the day and kill the ghost king on Ghost Festival. What do you three think?"

The three ghosts exchanged a glance.

The Beast King was the first to speak: "I've been waiting for you to say that."

The King of Men also said, "Brother, you are capable of taking down the King of Hell. Your ability to eliminate the undercover agents also proves your sincerity in cooperating. I have no objection."

The Heavenly King picked up his wine glass: "Come on, let's drink."

After a glass of wine, the deal was considered done.

Next came the details of the plan and the distribution of the spoils.

The Heavenly King, being the most senior, strongest, and most knowledgeable, said: "Did you know that the Ghost King has a demon ally called the Great Demon?"

Human King: "I've seen him a few times when I was transporting my soul; his strength is unfathomable."

Beast King: "The great demon has a treasure called the Myriad Soul Banner, which is specifically designed to counter us spirits. Many demon souls stronger than me cannot withstand even one move."

He's gone now.

Knowing the truth, Chen Feng remained silent.

The three ghosts finally concluded: "No matter what, the great demon will always need someone to help him transport his soul. As long as we act quickly and kill the Ghost King, the great demon will have no choice but to rely on us."

The Ghost King is just a position; anyone can take it.

The Heavenly King said, "After defeating the Ghost King, we four families will divide the spoils equally, with each family receiving twenty-five."

The Beast King raised an objection: "What about the territories of the Hungry Ghost King and the Asura King?"

The Human King thought it was simple: "We've already killed the Ghost King, what harm is there in killing two more?"

Chen Feng recounted everything that had happened that day: "The Asura King sent people to exchange the Ghost King's money, which is also a capital offense. It's twelve o'clock now, and there's still some time before we make our move at 7:15. Why don't we drag the Asura King into this as well?"

The Heavenly King said, "Although having more manpower means more certainty, it also means getting a bigger share of the profits."

The beastly king said naively, "I'm not very bright, so let's skip the nonsense. How about we kill that woman after we've done it?"

Both the Heavenly King and the Human King changed their expressions upon hearing this, thinking to themselves that the Beast King was indeed not very bright; how could he put such a double-crossing on the table?

This alliance was originally formed on a temporary basis.

If you can betray the Asura King, you can betray this new Hell King.

If the new Hell King becomes suspicious, this team will be difficult to lead.

But when he looked at Chen Feng again, his expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The two ghosts breathed a sigh of relief. Little did they know that Chen Feng was actually more ruthless than them.

If the news of the King of Hell's death hadn't been about to be exposed, Chen Feng would have wanted to wait a few more years, use the money sent by the Wealth Protector to raise a team of eight-star ghosts, and go it alone.

The reason they're trying to win over the Three Devils now is simply to find cannon fodder.

"If they die after we kill the Demon King, then that's it."

"If he's not dead, we must use the ghost-catching system to sign a contract of servitude. We absolutely cannot let that old woman Cihang get away with it."

The three ghosts were after Chen Feng's money, but Chen Feng was after their bodies.

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.

A group of people, or rather a group of ghosts, boarded a high-speed train bound for the Asura's territory.

On the train.

Chen Feng suddenly received a system notification:

[You have accepted the wishes of the Heavenly King, the Human King, and the Animal King: Destroy the Demon King]

[Information on the Heavenly King, Human King, and Beast King has been unlocked]

Anyway, I'm just idling around.

Chen Feng then decided to learn how the Heavenly Kings combined their skills.

First is the lowest-ranking beast king.

Its skills are:

[An eye for an eye: Returns double the damage received to the opponent]

[Advanced Stamina Recovery: Restores 10% of own health per second]

Gigantamax: Increases size and increases HP tenfold.

[Selfless Charge: Charges towards a target; the higher the user's health, the greater the damage.]

sure.

Although the Beast King has no ranged skills, it has mobility skills and is not afraid of being kited.

Dynamax increases health, which can both increase the damage of movement skills and prevent being instantly killed.

As long as you're not instantly killed, you'll be a hero again in ten seconds.

Moreover, the higher the damage dealt to the opponent, the more damage is reflected back, so hitting them is equivalent to hitting yourself.

All four skills are interconnected and linked.

Chen Feng glanced at the Water Ghost's moveset again:

[Water control, invisibility, black mud bomb (from the Stinky Ghost), poison mist (from the Poison Ghost)]

It's simply unbearable to look at.

Although they are both eight-star monsters, Chen Feng believed that if they were to engage in a skirmish, the Water Ghost's lousy skill set would definitely be crushed by the Beast King.

Continuing on, we can see that the King's skills are also very scientifically designed.

[Psionic Blast: Guides the power of the soul to launch a large number of energy balls to attack the opponent. This attack cannot be dodged.]

[Psychic Power: Launch a halo of light with psychic power to repel approaching enemies]

[Advanced Energy Restoration: Restores 10% of own mana per second]

[Stand: When attacked fatally, use a stand to absorb the damage (can trigger a maximum of once per hour)]

A pure artillery mage, with control to prevent close-range attacks, infinite mana regeneration for sustain, and a substitute to prevent sneak attacks.

Even if Chen Feng were to configure this skill himself, this would be the best he could do.

"If the Beast King and the Human King are both so powerful, wouldn't the Heavenly King be able to take off?"

Chen Feng scrolled down the interface and found that the Heavenly King had not only two skills, but also very concise descriptions.

[Flying Sword: Summons a flying sword to deal damage to enemies]

[Heart-Protecting Mirror: Summons a mirror to block damage]

Why is it like this?

Just as Chen Feng was puzzled, the system gave him a hint.

[Do you want to enable the data dashboard feature?]

After Chen Feng clicked "yes," he discovered that all the ghosts' skills began to display their power.

Taking Afei's four-star underling as an example, each major luck collision deals 40 damage.

The fire attack of the eight-star Afei, the poison bomb of the eight-star Water Ghost, and the psionic bullet of the eight-star Human King all deal 80 damage.

It's roughly equivalent to one star equaling ten damage.

However, there are a few exceptions.

For example, the Beast King's impact only deals 10 fixed damage, since the majority of the damage comes from the health bonus.

Although Blackhand has just been captured and hasn't been fed to eight stars yet, at six stars its skill "Flying Up" deals 80 damage.

Looking at the Heavenly King again, Chen Feng finally understood why the Heavenly King was number one.

Because its skill damage is:

Summons a flying sword that deals 300 damage to enemies.

Summon a mirror to reduce enemy skill damage by 100 points and grant immunity to damage below 100.

666.

As expected of a ghost transformed from a fallen cultivator, its stats are incredibly pure.

In terms of light defense capabilities.

Apart from Meng Chengcheng's chains, which can be broken.

The rest of them, such as Ah Fei, Water Ghost, Black Hand, Human King, and Beast King, could fight the Heavenly King for a year and still not break a layer of skin on his feet.

"Thankfully, a fight didn't break out."

"I have a Foundation Establishment physical body to protect me, so I'm not afraid, but Black Hand, Water Ghost, and A Fei will probably all be finished."

As Chen Feng was thinking, the train suddenly stopped; it had arrived at the station.

Compared to the deep mountains of the Hungry Ghost Station and the forests of the Hell Station, the Asura Station has a more human touch.

It was a tall building adorned with red lanterns, its vermilion doors wide open, exuding a luxurious fragrance of rouge and powder.

Chen Feng glanced at it: "A brothel?"

"A guest has arrived?"

Hearing the car, a mature woman adorned with pearl flowers and dressed in a bright red silk skirt stepped out. Seeing the imposing presence of the newcomer, she knew he was no ordinary person and said with a smile, "You're looking for my master, aren't you? Ladies, serve him well!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of beautiful female ghosts floated over and led Chen Feng and the others into a hall, where they were served wine, tea, and snacks.

The Beast King chuckled and picked up a piece of apple: "You're quite polite."

The Heavenly King stopped him, saying, "Don't eat it."

The Asura King is a ruthless person who overthrew her superiors and killed the old Asura King. Eating in her territory would likely lead to serious trouble.

The Human King said to the woman in red, "Judging by your red attire, you must be the Asura King's most trusted confidante, right?"

The eldest sister bowed slightly: "Indeed, Heavenly King, Human King, and Beast King, please wait a moment. Have some tea and wine, and watch some dances. My master will be here shortly."

He clapped his hands twice.

Two top courtesans, both wearing veils and possessing stunning figures, then emerged.

Among them, the one holding a pipa and dressed in yellow is a musician. As she moves her hands, a clear and melodious sound, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, suddenly rings out.

At that moment, another dancer dressed in colorful clothes also moved.

Whoosh!

It wasn't a slow sway of a slender waist, nor a light, lotus-like step; the dancer's jade feet touched the ground, and she spun around in place, like a spinning top being whipped up, stirring up a strong wind.

Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, this girl's got guts!"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because once she started talking, the dancer's movements became even more frantic, until they were so fast that they were impossible to see.

To complement the dancers, the musicians beside them flicked their fingers so fast that they even made smoke rise from their pipa.

Chen Feng was stunned: "Were their legs and arms rented? How could they be so fast?"

The older sister laughed and said, "Sir, you have a good eye. This is the fastest one in our building."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two female ghosts finished their performance.

Chen Feng said that while it was fast, "it can't be over in a minute."

The older sister explained, "It ended quickly, no problem, we'll dance a new one for the adults right away."

Listening to music in a brothel was originally an elegant affair.

But they're about to have a major fight with the Ghost King, so they're in no mood for entertainment.

So after watching a few minutes of fast dance videos.

Chen Feng couldn't help but say, "Stop wasting time. To be honest, we already know that you switched the ghost money. Now we're giving you two choices: one, we'll report this to the Ghost King; two, summon your king immediately."

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister was immediately startled.

Upon hearing of the uninvited guest, the other sisters also rushed over. Among them, the seventh sister, who wore purple, walked up to Chen Feng and whispered, "Brother, please don't tell the Ghost King, okay?"

The girl in purple is indeed very charming.

But Chen Feng remained unmoved, saying, "Don't give me that crap. After you took Iron Wheel Ghost away, he disappeared. Did you kill him?"

The eldest sister knew she couldn't fool them anymore, so she asked, "Then, gentlemen, what exactly do you want?"

The Heavenly King explained his purpose: "We want you to join us in dealing with the Demon King."

The Human King played the good cop: "After this is accomplished, we'll give you a layer of the Ghost King's territory."

The Beast King played the good cop: "If you disagree, we'll wipe you out. Let me tell you, the brother next to me killed the King of Hell. Four against one, you have no chance of winning."

"interesting."

Just as the sisters were wondering what to do, the dancer who had just finished her dance suddenly stepped forward and said, "But please go back, everyone. I can kill the Ghost King myself. I don't need you."

What a boastful tone!

The Beast King roared, "You, a mere dancer, have the right to speak?"

Chen Feng coughed and said, "Didn't you see that? This dancer is obviously the Asura King."

The Beast King said, "Oh, is that so?"

The Heavenly King looked at the Asura King with a gloomy gaze and said, "Then you're going to have to suffer the consequences of your refusal to listen to reason."

The Asura King remained completely unfazed, saying, "You're about to deal with the Ghost King; is it really appropriate to waste your energy on me?"

How clever! You hit our weak spot right away.

Chen Feng knew that the Asura King was right. They were about to have a great battle with the Ghost King and needed to be in top condition. It would be unwise to start a war with the Asura King here.

Anyone with a brain would back down when faced with a difficult situation.

But there happens to be an idiot in the team.

The Beast King slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Damn it, you're asking for death!"

It looked like a fight was about to break out, but then...

The Heavenly King, the Human King, and the Beast King all had an additional wound on their necks.

Only Chen Feng managed to avoid it.

"Even my mother can't threaten me, who do you think you are?" After warning the Beast King, the Asura King turned to praise Chen Feng, saying, "You killed the King of Hell? You do have some skill."

Chen Feng was sweating profusely. Just now, he had used his divine sense to see the Asura King rush in front of everyone and scratch a wound on the other three with his fingernail.

Even the Heavenly King, whose protective goggles popped up on his body, was no exception!

Only Chen Feng, relying on his Foundation Establishment physical body, managed to dodge Gasanwistan's attack.

"At that speed, the Leopard King is practically stationary in her presence!"

"This kind of attack, even with the full strength of Heavenly King 100, was instantly pierced by a fingernail?"

Chen Feng now felt that the Asura King's claim that he could kill the Ghost King single-handedly might not have been an exaggeration.

At this moment, due to the damage caused by the Asura King's skill, the Ghost-Catching System immediately provided feedback on the opponent's data.

Asura King

[Resentment Level: ★★★★★★★ (Seven Stars)]

As a newly enthroned Heavenly King, the Asura King's level has not even reached the bottleneck of eight stars, and his stats are not strong.

But one of the opponent's skills caught Chen Feng's attention.

[Skill: Dance of the Demons]

[Dance of the Demon: Every time the Asura King performs his dance, his speed and skill damage double (up to ten times)]

So, the Asura King was secretly performing the Ghost Dance for everyone just now?

After dancing 6 times, that's a 62-fold increase. Asura King is a seven-star character; even assuming a skill attack power of 70, a 62-fold increase still applies... 4480!!!

The monster king with 300 damage is practically a loli in front of the Asura King.

That's fucking insidious!
