"Aww—"

As soon as Shen Zhao moved, the two little Karami were so frightened that they took off and retreated to Sima Po's side.

"Useless trash! What are you doing? Why did you come back?"

Sima Po cursed angrily.

"Hey, stop cursing, just kill me if you want."

Shen Zhao shrugged.

"Look at me, I can't muster any strength right now. You could kill me with a single move. Hurry up and make your move."

Sima Po's Adam's apple bobbed as he began to judge whether this was real or fake once again.

Ah~

Just then, one of the karami, unable to withstand the pressure any longer, roared and turned to push open the courtyard door.

"do what?"

"No, we'll die! He's the gravedigger of the Nine Netherworlds that the Realm Lord spoke of! There's no way we can defeat him! It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

His words quickly spread to the rest of the Karami.

Instantly, the remaining Karami also turned around, wanting to escape this forbidden land of death.

Why aren't we running?

"Both Great Emperors have been killed by him. Aren't we doomed if we stay alive?"

"I can't take it anymore! I want to go back to the Nine Netherworlds! I want to drink my mother's Soul Bone Soup! This place is just too terrifying!"

Sima Po was stunned, his already pale face turning even paler.

"What are you doing? Don't forget that you are from the noble Nine Nether lineage! I order you to stop right now and kill Shen Zhao immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the Karami retorted without hesitation: "You make it sound so easy. If you're so capable, why don't you go and do it yourself?"

"Exactly!" another man wielding an axe to chop down the door chimed in. "If you're so capable, why don't you go and do it yourself? Why make us do it? We'll just die anyway, right?"

"presumptuous!"

Sima Po was furious. He suddenly raised his sword and instantly smashed the two Karami who dared to defy him.

He then said to the others, "What are you afraid of? Let's all go together. We'll die whether we go out or stay here, so let's just fight it out! As long as we kill Shen Zhao, we can all survive."

Soon, the Nine Nether Karami were appeased by these words and looked again at Shen Zhao, who was still sitting in the armchair watching the show.

Shen Zhao merely glanced at the nearly burnt-out cigarette butt and gave this group of freaks a disdainful smile.

"Have you made a decision? Are you going to kill me or not? Let me remind you, this is your only chance. If you miss it, you'll never have another one."

Sima Po roared, "Stop pretending! Shen Zhao, if you really had the ability, we would be dead by now. You must have been seriously injured in your fight with the two Venerables yesterday, which is why you are so exhausted!"

Shen Zhao: "I admit, I really don't have any strength right now, so what are you bunch of freaks hesitating for? Hurry up and come over here!"

"Kill me, and you Nine Netherworlds will be able to enter and leave the Nine Realms without any hindrance. Why haven't you made your move yet!"

Sima Po stared wide-eyed, his eyes as big as copper bells: "You think I wouldn't dare?"

"Then come on over! If you don't, you're a coward!"

As he spoke, Shen Zhao raised a middle finger at them.

"court death!"

Sima Po channeled his evil energy into his palms and angrily slapped them towards Shen Zhao's chest.

At this moment, the cigarette in Shen Zhao's hand finally burned out.

Boom~

The evil aura surged and churned, causing the Dingxian Residence to shake incessantly.

After the powerful palm strike, an unbelievable scene unfolded before my eyes.

"Uh~"

In Shen Zhao's hand was a still-beating green heart.

Sima Poze stood behind Shen Zhao, a visible hole pierced through his left chest.

"How could this be? How did you do that?"

In the blink of an eye, Sima Po only saw Shen Zhao raise his hand and deflect his ruthless attack.

"Fool! I told you to kill me, but you wouldn't. You had to wait until I recovered some strength before you rushed to your death. Tell me, what else could you be but a fool?"

After speaking, he clenched his five fingers, and the green heart in his hand instantly turned into a puddle of exploding liquid.

"ah--"

Sima Po screamed, clutched his chest, and collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably. In the blink of an eye, he was motionless.

After dealing with Sima Po, Shen Zhao's gaze swept over the remaining Karami.

"ah?"

The Karami all took a step back, too scared to even breathe.

Shen Zhao used the same trick again: "Alright, now I really have no strength left. Whoever wants this life can take it?"

Are you coming again?

Are you kidding us?

At this moment, the Karami were both shocked and frightened; who would dare to step forward and die?

They exchanged glances, then turned around, opened the door, and squeezed their way out.

In an instant, a Heavenly Frost Fist struck, annihilating the entire group of Karami.

"Big brother!"

Upon seeing Shen Zhao, Liang Hao immediately rushed to his side.

"Bro, you're finally here, damn it..."

"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you so weak? Let me take you back to Shenshui Pavilion."

"I can't go back for the time being, so you'll have to take care of things at Shenshui Pavilion for now."

Liang Hao didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, brother, we'll wait for you at Shenshui Pavilion. Remember to come and meet us when you're done."

"Yes, we must find the remnants of the Nine Netherworld Clan. Remember, leave no survivors, not a single one."

"Don't worry, I know."

After saying that, Liang Hao turned and left, and casually put up two Vajra Talismans in the courtyard to set up a small defensive barrier.

"call……"

After seeing Liang Hao off, Shen Zhao let out a long sigh of relief before stumbling back into the house.

He closed the door and gazed at Mu Qiuyao's serene appearance behind the bamboo curtain, lost in thought...
