"I am here to kill!"

Upon hearing Zhao Chong say so, the complexions of the four Dharma Kings turned ashen. At this moment, all their Spiritual Power was converged within King Shuanglin's body, merging together. If they were to suddenly retract their Spiritual Power from King Shuanglin's body, it would not only put King Shuanglin's life at risk but also cause mutual Spiritual Power rejection that could injure them all.

Additionally, it was precisely the critical moment when King Shuanglin was about to use all his power to freeze the Purgatory Fire. If the Dharma Kings withdrew their Spiritual Power, then the Purgatory Fire would become unstoppable, and Netherworld City would be reduced to a sea of flames in an instant.

One could only say that Zhao Chong's timing and ruthlessness were impeccable.

If he were to injure any one of the four Dharma Kings, all would suffer grave injuries, and they would soon be burnt to ashes by the massive waves formed by the Purgatory Fire.

Zhao Chong frowned, looking serious.

The Dark Law King glanced at Zhao Chong using the corner of his eye, already sensing that his surroundings were engulfed by Zhao Chong's Yin Qi Spiritual Power.

Suddenly, a flock of bloodthirsty crows appeared, swooping towards Zhao Chong.

These crows were transformed from one of King Wumeng's arms; he was making his last stand.

But how could these crows be a match for Zhao Chong!

With merely a blink, Zhao Chong shattered all of the crows;

Immediately following, the Dark Law King's shadow that lay on the ground suddenly rose from the surface, forming a new clone.

However, since half of the Spiritual Power was injected into King Shuanglin's body, and the other half was being used to block the massive waves of Purgatory Fire, the clone of the Dark Law King's shadow did not have much Spiritual Power. It had barely appeared before Zhao Chong locked it down with a move, rendering it immobile.

At this point, the four Dharma Kings were out of options.

All of them looked up at the sky, hoping the Ghost King would descend to save them.

The Ghost King was, at that moment, engaged in a fierce battle with the Firebird, unable to extricate himself and too late to save them.

Zhao Chong's frown grew deeper as more of his Yin Qi Spiritual Power filled the air around him.

The four Dharma Kings turned pale, their eyes filled with despair.

However, just when they thought their end was near, Zhao Chong suddenly left. He went to the Bridge of Helplessness and subdued the Beast Blood Ruined Wand, released by the Ghost King into the air with his Yin Qi Spiritual Power, before tucking the Magic Wand into his bag.

To have such a golden opportunity to eliminate the four Dharma Kings all at once but forego it was solely for the people of Netherworld City below. If the Dharma Kings perished, the massive waves of Purgatory Fire would be unstoppable, and Netherworld City would turn into a fire sea, with the vast majority of its citizens dying within it.

This outcome was something that neither he nor the woman from the Purgatory Fire Pool wished to see.

Their main objective was to rescue Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

Everything was proceeding according to the plan he had formed with the woman.

When Zhao Chong took the Beast Blood Ruined Wand, the previously dispirited clones of Niu Tou and Ma Mian began to recover instantly.

Zhao Chong turned into a shadow and appeared atop the city wall; in the blink of an eye, he eliminated all the surrounding city guards, and then said to a nearby clone of Niu Tou, "Withdraw your clones and follow me quickly."

"Clan Leader Zhao, where are we heading?" asked Niu Tou.

Zhao Chong looked towards the North, saying, "To the North!"

Niu Tou turned his head towards Ma Mian beside him and nodded. In a moment, all the clones of Niu Tou and Ma Mian had vanished, leaving only the two true forms before Zhao Chong. These two were the true forms of Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

Seeing Zhao Chong, who was known as a God of War, the surrounding city guard dared not approach, and they watched stunned as Zhao Chong left with Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

Meanwhile, the four Dharma Kings watched, just as helplessly.

"King Shuanglin, never mind about them," the Dark Law King said. "Let us concentrate our efforts on freezing the Purgatory Fire before us."

King Shuanglin sighed helplessly, then closed his eyes and focused intently on casting his spell.

In the sky, upon witnessing Zhao Chong leaving with Niu Tou and Ma Mian, the Ghost King moved to intercept them. The moment he leaped in front of the trio, he was sideswiped by a phoenix following closely behind him.

He roared in rage as four streams of the Nether King's Power surged from within him, aiming directly at Zhao Chong and the backs of Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

Zhao Chong turned, and in an instant, his eyes turned a crimson red. A surge of Spiritual Power also forced its way out from within him, barely managing to hold back the approaching Nether King's Power.

"Family Leader Zhao!" Niu Tou halted in his tracks.

"Keep going!" Zhao Chong urged with a tight voice, his expression fraught with urgency.

Niu Tou and Ma Mian exchanged hesitant glances, then transformed into their enormous bull and horse forms, galloping away toward the north.

Seeing Zhao Chong left behind by the Nether King's Power and trapped in a stalemate with it, unable to escape, the beast that was the Ghost King immediately lunged at him, filled with rage and murderous intent.

He had only intended to kill Niu Tou and Ma Mian and seize the gates of the Netherworld; he had not anticipated such a heavy cost. Not to mention the loss of the Nether King Palace, nearly the entire Netherworld City had almost been destroyed, and Niu Tou and Ma Mian were still alive.

What a disgrace, what a humiliation!

Watching the beast that was the Ghost King approaching, Zhao Chong frowned deeply, out of options, and could only watch as a vast shadow fell over his head.

However, at the critical moment, the phoenix struck the Ghost King from the side once again.

The Ghost King had anticipated this and swiftly shifted his target to the phoenix. Calmly leaping up to evade the strike, he landed on the phoenix, withdrawing the four streams of Nether King's Power that were locked with Zhao Chong and instead entangled the phoenix's claws and wings.

After being bound by the four streams of Nether King's Power, the phoenix could no longer move. The Ghost King then controlled the four powers to pull in four different directions, seeking to tear the phoenix apart.

The phoenix let out a scream like a tear in the fabric of reality, then turned its head to spew a burst of flame towards the Dharma Kings who were struggling against the massive waves of fire.

The Ghost King's eyes glinted as he moved to block the blaze before it could reach the four Dharma Kings, using the power from within himself to resist the flames.

Using this distraction, the phoenix suddenly and naturally transformed into a golden flame, freeing itself from the Nether King's Power's grip, and then reverted back into the woman she was.

"Hurry!" the woman urged Zhao Chong. After speaking, she spat out a mouthful of fresh red blood.

Zhao Chong quickly steadied her and hurried away with her at top speed.

The beast that was the Ghost King pushed aside the flames before it and gave chase. Just at that moment, another burst of Purgatory Fire erupted like a volcano from the Purgatory Fire Pool beneath the Eighteen Levels of Hell, flowing behind the Ghost King.

The Ghost King looked behind him just as the four Dharma Kings had barely managed to freeze that huge wave of fire into ice.

So he abandoned the pursuit and used his own strength to suppress the fiery surge.

..

..

Half an hour later, Zhao Chong and the woman caught up with Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

"Clan Leader Zhao," Niu Tou asked puzzledly, looking at the woman Zhao Chong was supporting. "Who is she?"

"This..." Zhao Chong was at a loss for words.

However, to Zhao Chong's surprise, the woman voluntarily removed the mask from her face.

"You are..." Niu Tou and Ma Mian were stunned. "The Nether King!"
