Chapter 241: The King of Netherworld is Startled

When Yang Xiaotian recognized his identity, the King of Netherworld was taken aback, looking at Yang Xiaotian with surprised doubt.

“Speak, who sent you?” Xiaotian looked at his opponent, “I could spare your life.”

Upon hearing these words, the King of Netherworld laughed, his laugh raspy and extremely piercing, “Kid, this is the True Dragon Secret Realm, completely isolated from the outside, even if I kill you here, Yang Zhengqing and the Dragon Ancestor outside will never know.”

“And you will spare me?”

For the past two days, he had restrained himself from taking action, waiting for Xiaotian to enter the True Dragon Secret Realm before making a move.

After all, if he took action outside, it would alert the likes of Yang Zhengqing and the Dragon Ancestor.

But once inside the True Dragon Secret Realm, he could act without any concerns.

As he spoke, the Blade of Death in his hand flashed with a cold light, instantly slicing towards Xiaotian’s throat.

The Blade of Death was a top-tier Holy Artifact.

There were no less than thirty Supreme Sect Ancestors who had fallen under this Blade of Death.

With a wave of the Blade of Death, the space before Xiaotian was slit open.

Just as the Blade of Death was about to cut into Xiaotian’s throat, suddenly, a giant claw with ice-blue flames appeared.

The flame-covered giant claw directly blocked the Blade of Death.

The Blade of Death struck the fire-claw, sparking showers of flames.

But to the King of Netherworld’s shock, his supposedly sharp enough to cut through anything Blade of Death only left a shallow white scratch on the flame-encased giant claw.

He himself was shaken back continuously, tumbling over and over.

The Blade of Death in his hand let out a whining sound, as if it were trembling, in fear. Startled, he looked and saw that an Iceflame Behemoth of immense size had appeared at Xiaotian’s side at some point.

Seeing the Iceflame Behemoth, the King of Netherworld’s body jerked, his face drastically changing with disbelief, “Beast God!”

Previously, even the Azure Thunder Python could only be called the Divine Beast King.

In the entire Red Moon Forest, only the Iceflame Kylin could be called the Beast God.

The Iceflame Kylin was also the only one in the Divine Dragon Empire referred to by the mighty as the Beast God.

For the entire Divine Dragon Empire, only the Iceflame Kylin was a Super Divine Beast.

The King of Netherworld couldn’t believe it, the Beast God Iceflame Kylin was actually following Xiaotian.

His face turned pale, realizing that if this were somewhere else, he might have a sliver of hope to escape, but he was inside the True Dragon Secret Realm now.

Only Hu Nan could open the True Dragon Secret Realm.

How could he escape?

Seeing the Beast God Iceflame Kylin, he knew it was no longer possible to kill Xiaotian.

He turned to flee, attempting to break through the air and escape far away.

Now, his only option was to flee deep into the mountains of the True Dragon Secret Realm, using the terrain to see if there was still any hope for survival.

However, just as he was about to turn and run, suddenly, a gigantic thousand-zhang tail swept across with formidable power, the likes of which the King of Netherworld had rarely seen in his life.

Startled out of his wits, the King of Netherworld poured all his strength into the Blade of Death to strike out.

But the Blade of Death in his hands was instantly sent flying by the sweep, and he himself was blasted into a distant mountain.

The sound of the mountain crumbling echoed nonstop.

The King of Netherworld flew out from the rubble, blood spewing from his mouth, his top-tier Holy Artifact armor already in tatters.

He looked at the newly appeared Azure Thunder Python in horror, “Divine Beast King!”

The one who had just taken action was indeed the Azure Thunder Python.

After its Bloodline Return to Ancestry, becoming a Super Divine Beast, the strength of the Azure Thunder Python was not just on par with the Iceflame Kylin, but perhaps even slightly stronger.

While the King of Netherworld was still in shock, Xiaotian rose up into the sky, stood on the head of the Azure Thunder Python, and then rode it as it flew towards him.

The Iceflame Kylin followed closely by Xiaotian’s side.

It was a moment of sheer astonishment.

Riding atop the Divine Beast King, with the Beast God following by his side.

Even without the two Super Divine Beasts emitting any aura, their presence was enough to make the King of Netherworld’s chest muscles tremble.

Witnessing this scene, he even forgot to flee.

Or rather, he no longer had the courage to escape.

Although his strength was immense, it was, after all, only at the peak of the Saint Realm’s tenth level.

He watched Yang Xiaotian standing on the head of the Azure Thunder Python in terror.

Previously, when he had accepted the mission from the Sky-Stepping Sect, he was quite pleased with himself, thinking that assassinating a newly advanced Martial Ancestor was no different from slaughtering a weak chicken.

Now, he realized, this was no weak chicken.

It was a behemoth from prehistoric times.

Soon, Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python arrived in front of the other party.

He looked coldly at him, “Who sent you?”

The King of Netherworld’s throat bobbed, but still, he did not open his mouth.

“Previously, the Shadow Night Demon came to kill me, and I gave him two chances,” Yang Xiaotian said coldly. “Unfortunately, he did not cherish the final opportunity.”

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian mention the Shadow Night Demon, the King of Netherworld’s heart shook. Did Yang Xiaotian imply that the Shadow Night Demon was already dead?

The King of Netherworld’s face went from dark to light.

To speak would mean survival, yet he would have to face the towering rage of the Sky-Stepping Sect.

Thinking of the massive entity that was the Sky-Stepping Sect, his heart trembled.

But to stay silent meant death.

Were he to shake his head, what awaited him would surely be a world-shattering strike from the two Super Divine Beasts.

Suddenly, darkness surged throughout his body, turning into wisps of black light, and he vanished from the spot.

Seeing the King of Netherworld still deciding to flee, Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate and ordered, “Kill!”

Instantly, a giant claw of the Iceflame Qilin struck down, and all before them—the ground, mountains, trees, even space itself—was encased in ice.

In the blink of an eye, the entire area as far as Yang Xiaotian could see turned into a world of blue ice, like something out of a fairytale.

As all space was frozen, the King of Netherworld, who had just disappeared from his original spot, was now crystallized atop a mountain hundreds of miles away.

The King of Netherworld still held the pose of fleeing, his face full of horror.

Yang Xiaotian, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Iceflame Qilin approached the King of Netherworld, looking at him frozen in the ice, Xiaotian shook his head, “What a pity, like the Shadow Night Demon, you did not cherish your last chance.”

The King of Netherworld was filled with regret and wanted to speak, but he was utterly unable to break the icy might of the Iceflame Qilin and could only watch helplessly as its enormous claw struck down.

Boom!

The giant claw of the Iceflame Qilin smashed the King of Netherworld deep into the earth.

The entire mountain crumbled to dust.

The King of Netherworld lay at the bottom of the mountain.

By then, the Iceflame Qilin’s previously cast freezing power had dissipated. He lay at the foot of the mountain, his body a mangled mess, no longer recognizably human.

The King of Netherworld opened his mouth.

Looking at the King of Netherworld who was still not completely dead, the Iceflame Qilin struck down with another claw, stamping him further into the depths beneath the earth.

Just as the King of Netherworld had been about to speak, he was silenced forever.

The number one assassin of the Divine Dragon Empire, the King of Netherworld, dead!

Yang Xiaotian waved his hand, and the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire flew out, incinerating the body of the King of Netherworld completely. With a single gesture, he collected the Blade of Death into his hands.

Afterward, he found the King of Netherworld’s Space Ring not far from the corpse; upon opening it, he found it full of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and Secret Tomes.

There were far more Spirit Stones than what the Shadow Night Demon had possessed.

It seemed that being an assassin was quite a profitable business.
