Netherworld, at the Lo Bei Plain a hundred li north of Sunset Pass.

King Shuanglin and King Wumeng led thirty thousand warriors of the Crow Tribe and paused by a river, waiting for further instructions from the Dark Law King and King Wanfa.

"King Wumeng, why do you think the Dark Law King and King Wanfa asked us to hold our forces and make no move?" King Shuanglin asked King Wumeng.

King Wumeng shook his head, his gaze drifting towards the rising sun in the east as he thoughtfully said, "I don't know. The Dark Law King's letter only commanded me to bring the Crow Tribe warriors here and did not explain the detailed reason."

King Shuanglin sighed in despair, feeling anxious in his heart, as he was impatient to kill Zhao Chong.

Not long after.

The sky to the north suddenly darkened with masses.

Instantly, the attention of King Shuanglin and King Wumeng was captured. They saw a mass of horses galloping and battle flags waving. The characters for "Ghost General" written on the battle flags in the ancient script of the Netherworld informed both kings that the newcomers were the Ghost King's troop of generals.

The ten thousand soldiers of the troop of generals descended from the skies on their warhorses like a black surging flood. When all of their ten thousand men had landed, they were already in front of King Shuanglin and the Dark Law King.

"King Shuanglin, King Wumeng!" The leading general, Shen Li, immediately dismounted and knelt in front of King Shuanglin and King Wumeng with a salute.

"General Shen, get up quickly!" King Wumeng hurriedly helped Shen Li up, his face full of smiles.

After Shen Li stood up, King Shuanglin asked, "General Shen, why did the Dark Law King and King Wanfa suddenly order your retreat? And, where have those two gone?"

Shen Li shook his head blankly, his face twisted with distress as he replied, "To reply to both kings, I'm not clear on the matter, I only know..."

Shen Li hesitated, stopping himself from finishing.

"You only know what?"

Shen Li hesitated.

"Out with it!" King Shuanglin glared at Shen Li, his voice urgent with anger.

"I only know that Chen Hao is among Zhao Chong's group of people."

"Ah!" King Shuanglin and King Wumeng were incredibly surprised.

After being stunned for a while, King Shuanglin stared at Shen Li with an agitated expression and asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"

Shen Li had a bitter expression, regretting having spoken out of turn. He sighed shortly and nodded, affirming, "It's true!"

"Could it be because of Chen Hao that they retreated?" King Wumeng speculated. Then he himself let out a mocking laugh, mocking his own ridiculous thought. How could King Wanfa and the Dark Law King fear a single Chen Hao with their strength?

"According to what you've said, did King Wanfa and the Dark Law King go to meet with Chen Hao?" King Shuanglin asked Shen Li again. In reality, his blood was boiling with rage and hatred, his bloodshot eyes like those of someone driven mad with killing intent.

"Quite likely."

"King Wumeng, you stay here and wait for news; I'm going to find King Wanfa and the Dark Law King!" said King Shuanglin as he rapidly flew northward. By the time he finished speaking, his figure had already shrunk into a dot in the sky.

"At the critical moment, still can't keep his cool!" King Wumeng sighed in disappointment, his gaze towards the north laden with concern.

...

...

Meanwhile, thousands of li to the north in the Black Forest, a large area had already been enveloped in darkness summoned by the Dark Law King.

Zhou Family's Clan Leader and Niu Tou Ma Mian led the Zhao and Zhou families back dozens of li to escape the darkness. Ye Yuqiao, with her veil, followed closely behind the group from the Zhao and Zhou families, but her mind was fixated on the battle occurring within that darkness.

Although they had distanced themselves from the darkness, the members of the Zhao and Zhou families could still feel the collisions of four immensely powerful forces of Spiritual Power emanating from within the darkness, as well as hear the boom of terrifying forces colliding, and feel the violent tremors from the ground-shaking, mountain-splitting effects of the confrontation.

Every person wore a stunned expression, hardly daring to imagine the intensity of the battle taking place within the darkness!

From time to time, scarlet and dark purple lights flashed through the darkness, originating respectively from Zhao Chong's Blood Jade Sword and Chen Hao's Nether King's World-Slaying Blade.

Whenever these two lights appeared, an aura would immediately burst forth and spread out from the darkness. Among the members of the Zhao and Zhou families, those with weaker Spiritual Power suffered grave injuries to their souls.

In that dark expanse.

Zhao Chong had entered a withered black forest where his eyes rapidly spun around, his expression alert.

The Dark Law King was nearby. However, he merged with the darkness all too perfectly, making it impossible for Zhao Chong to catch a glimpse of him.

He could only sense the existence of the Dark Law King when he closed in to attack.

Thus, he was very passive.

At that moment, a purple glow appeared in the distance to his right, momentarily illuminating the dark space.

That was the light of the Nether Eye shooting forth from Chen Hao's left eye.

Looking at this purple light, Zhao Chong felt a pang of envy. If his own left eye could see through everything like Chen Hao's, he wouldn't be so passive right now.

Suddenly, Zhao Chong felt an energy surge approaching him, and a cold laugh also rang in his ears.

Chen Hao, who was engaged in a battle with King Wanfa at a distance, also heard this cold laugh.

Both men frowned.

Immediately afterward, they felt the Spiritual Power of the Dark Law King assaulting them from all directions, leaving no room to escape.

Ye Yuqiao and others standing in the darkness saw: the dark expanse rapidly gathering and contracting, eventually forming into two black spheres, with King Wanfa and the Dark Law King appearing before their eyes.

"Where are the Clan Leader and Chen Hao?" asked the Zhao family's steward in a rush.

"The two of them should be wrapped up in that black sphere!" replied Zhou Ke, his expression somewhat solemn. He saw flickers of blood-red light within one of the dark spheres.

That was Zhao Chong struggling to break free inside.

"Die!" the Dark Law King sneered.

As soon as the words of the Dark Law King fell, the two black spheres exploded. Instantly, the withered forests around the black spheres were leveled, and the surrounding air was consumed by the Dark Law King's Yin Qi.

"Ah!" the people from the Zhao and Zhou families cried out in alarm, their faces ashen.

"Have both Clan Leader Zhao and Chen Hao been killed by the Dark Law King?" asked a retainer standing next to Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke did not reply, feeling that the Spiritual Power of Zhao Chong and Chen Hao had weakened by dozens of times.

Niu Tou and Ma Mian looked towards Ye Yuqiao, only to see that her eyes held no trace of sadness.

After a while, the people from the Zhao and Zhou families had not yet recovered from their shock when suddenly, a vortex appeared above King Wanfa's head.

Following that, Chen Hao leaped out from the vortex, wielding the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in his hand.

With a flash of the blade.

King Wanfa raised his left arm, which instantly gathered a massive force of Wanfa, blocking the incoming slash of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade. Immediately afterward, King Wanfa's right hand gathered the force of Wanfa, and his right palm struck out a vast wave of Wanfa force.

In an instant, Chen Hao disappeared, vanishing into the Nether******.

"From just now until the present, this kid has been hiding and dodging!" King Wanfa said to the Dark Law King with a wry smile, "To be honest, I'm disappointed in him; he's not as powerful as I imagined."

The Dark Law King chuckled and said, "With Zhao Chong gone, only that kid Chen Hao is left, and her."

The gazes of the Dark Law King and King Wanfa simultaneously turned towards the distant Ye Yuqiao.
