Chapter 695 You Can't Do Anything
"Since the Great Emperor Dongyue has agreed, I should not stop him, but I still want to say a few more words."
King Yama turned around and looked at Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
"Please speak." Li Muhan said.
"What you just said is that you were neither born nor raised by nature. You have not been tainted by the world in this life, but only feel malicious intent. This king cannot agree with you. Li Muhan, this king has seen your life and knows that you have great integrity and noble character. You have been surrounded by malicious intent in this life, but you must never ignore those who love you deeply."
"This king hopes that no matter when or where you are, you will cherish those who love you. They may be your relatives and friends, your teachers, or even strangers who have passed through your life but left a deep mark. Their love is an indispensable force on your path forward."
The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons whispered to each other: "The Master has been a bit talkative today."
"Your Excellency cherishes talents and loves gentlemen even more, especially those with a heart as clear as a mirror. This is the kind of person you have longed to meet throughout your life."
King Yama raised his big hand and pressed it hard on the shoulders of Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
"Coming from this king, this may seem strange, but I still hope that you can support each other and help each other through thick and thin, and not be swayed by the words of others. Whether or not your hearts and minds are meant for this world, what does it matter?"
Li Muhan and Xia Yue looked at each other.
"Can't understand."
"Just nod."
Then the two of them nodded vigorously.
"Okay! Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, Black and White Impermanence! Lead the way!"
Clang——
The sound of gongs and drums shook the earth, like thunder, and resounded through the sky.
The Black and White Impermanence waved their soul-calling banners with such force that they were like riding the wind and breaking the waves. The water of the Styx surged, automatically separating a path that led directly to the deep and boundless dark abyss.
The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters roared in unison, their voices shaking the universe. Yellow and white papers were flying all over the sky like flowers scattered by fairies. Along with this mighty sound, at the end of the darkness, a golden light began to flicker, like the first rays of dawn, breaking through at daybreak.
Afterwards, Li Muhan and Xia Yue witnessed a temple slowly emerging at the end of the River Styx.
Although this temple is not luxurious, it has a solemn and sacred atmosphere. Although its shape is not ostentatious, it contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which makes people feel awe.
"That's the temple of Emperor Fengdu."
General Zeng walked up to Li Muhan, looked out at the temple, and said, "From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to bypass the Ten Palaces and face the Great Emperor directly. Boy, this journey is no small task. Without the protection of the Ten Palaces, you will face the surging tide of vengeful spirits. But don't worry, I will accompany you on this journey together."
King Yama clasped his fists and bowed, his voice as resounding as a bell, and said to General Zeng, "General Zeng, let's set off."
The black-clothed ghost general raised his hand, and a spear like a dragon appeared in his hand, emitting cold light.
He took the lead, walking in the front, with great momentum and awe-inspiring power.
When the wronged souls tried to approach the road, the spears struck the ground hard, making a deafening sound.
General Zeng shouted angrily:
"Back off!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the air around it. The wronged souls were frightened by the sound and retreated, not daring to approach.
General Zeng's majesty is as unshakable as a mountain and as unstoppable as a storm.
At this time, the wailing of thousands of ghosts was heard everywhere, shrill and sad.
They wailed because of the injustices they suffered in their lifetime or the unwillingness to accept death.
Some are like crying and complaining, some are like angry roaring, interweaving into a sad and beautiful song of the underworld.
However, in this tragic song, General Zeng's spear was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, as steady as Mount Tai, opening a path to the temple for Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
They followed General Zeng, step by step towards the solemn and sacred temple, towards the unknown fate.
But as they walked along the road, the rage of the ghosts could no longer be suppressed. They continued to advance, breaking through General Zeng's aura and rushing towards Li Muhan and Xia Yue like crazy.
"Get behind me!" Li Muhan protected Xia Yue behind him.
The two of them rode their swords to fight against the demons.
However, the ghost was so powerful that it was difficult to repel it.
Just as the two were about to be overwhelmed by the tide of ghosts, a black light struck down like thunder, and with just this one blow, all the ghosts were reduced to ashes.
The man with disheveled hair and bare upper body stood in front of the two of them.
"You can only die by my hands, monster."
Li Chengtian raised his head slightly, and the madness in his eyes was even worse than before.
"Evildoer!" General Zeng raised his gun and roared, then started fighting with Li Chengtian.
However, the fate of the Tan Lang star is to kill and destroy, and the resentment is so strong that no one can stop him after he got the right eye of the Azure Dragon. Even if the ghost general used all his strength, he could not repel him, but was defeated in the fierce battle.
"General Zeng, he came to me to ask me to protect Xia Yue."
Before Xia Yue could object, General Zeng had already thrown his cloak to protect Xia Yue behind him, and then quickly ran towards the temple.
"Boy! Don't die!" General Zeng yelled.
"Don't worry." Li Muhan held the female sword in his hand, looked at the man he once regarded as his father, and whispered: "My end is not here."
"Two swords, one sword, two swords, one sword."
Li Chengtian's knife dragged on the ground, and he muttered crazy words, approaching Li Muhan step by step.
"You cut off your own arm, stupid, stupid. You think your sacrifice can protect her? No, you can't! If you abandon her! You will never be able to protect her!! Hahahaha, you can't protect anyone!"
"I know, Li Chengtian, you may be regretting leaving. I'm sorry that your leaving didn't change anything, but I don't intend to make any sacrifices here."
The female sword trembled slightly, and the black long knife also rubbed against the ground, producing sparks.
"I'm going to kill you, kill you who shouldn't exist!!"
"Existence is justified! Whether I exist or not is none of your business!"
Bang--
The long sword and the long knife collided, and the huge difference in power almost tore Li Muhan's body apart.
He held the sword in both hands, trying to forcibly remove the force, but found that the black knife seemed to have a huge suction force, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Don't even think about escaping again! Coward!!"
"You're a coward!!! You left everything behind!! You abandoned everything!!"
"You can't do anything!! You despicable monster!!"
boom--
The power of the Azure Dragon suddenly appeared, and Li Muhan was hit by this force and flew backwards. Before the group of evil spirits dragged him into the abyss, Li Muhan adjusted his body in mid-air and slashed with a sword in his backhand to drive away the evil spirits.
But before he could stand firm, the power of Tan Lang and Qing Long descended again.
Li Muhan raised his hand to block but was once again suppressed by the huge force.
"Without the Pandemonium I gave you, you're nothing!!"
"Then thank you fucking much!" Li Muhan gritted his teeth and forced the long sword back.
Li Chengtian turned around and kicked Li Muhan in the abdomen, kicking him off the road.
The dark and cold water of the Styx wrapped around Li Muhan's body, and countless hands pulled at his body, trying to drag him into deeper darkness.
A big hand pinched Li Muhan's cheek tightly, stopping his struggle.
"Don't you like looking at my memories? Don't you want to see what happened to me? Don't you want to know what kind of monster you are?!"
Li Chengtian’s crazy face was right in front of Li Muhan, and he pressed Li Muhan into the dark abyss.
"I'll show you, I'll show you everything, hahahahahaha!! I'll let you know!! What kind of thing are you!! Hahahahahahaha!!!"
After a burst of crazy laughter, Li Muhan gradually lost consciousness, his vision gradually became blurred, and his body became heavier and heavier.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room.
This room has no windows and is very monotonous, even giving people a feeling of depression.
Boom boom boom——
There was a rapid knock on the door. Li Muhan wanted to open the door, but found that his hand could not reach the door handle.
There was a rustling sound on the bed behind him.
Li Muchan looked back and saw the young Li Chengtian slowly getting up from the bed. He couldn't see Li Muchan, so he just reached out to open the door.
"Look at the time!? Why are you still sleeping? The professor said yesterday that there will be a very important experiment today! You are a very important experimental subject! Hurry to the lab!"
The visitor was a bald foreigner who yelled at Li Chengtian in not very fluent Chinese, then slammed the door and left.
Li Chengtian slowly put on his coat and left the room.
laboratory......?
Li Muhan was stunned. After following Li Chengtian out of the room, he discovered that this was actually a large testing ground somewhat similar to Prometheus.
The entire test site is a circular structure, with the outer ring being the living area, the inner ring being the supporting test area, and the core experimental area being in the center.
No one who came and went looked at Li Chengtian twice.
At this moment, Li Chengtian's hair was messy and his beard was untidy, completely losing the heroic feeling he had before.
He followed the other researchers step by step towards the core area.
This was his second year in Tartarus.
At the beginning, he would apply in the hope of being able to connect with the outside world.
But the answer he got every time was the same: he no longer belonged to the outside world, and if he wanted to protect the people important to him, he had to stay here.
In exchange, the staff would regularly give him recent photos of the people he cared about.
Lin Ze’s photos have covered the walls of Li Chengtian’s room.
He saw the girl go from being depressed to slowly recovering, from needing care from others to taking care of others, all in just one year.
Maybe my own departure.
It really won't affect anything...
