Shang Liuyu's expression changed. Was her sister kept in the dark all along?
However, she quickly realized what was happening and looked coldly at the Skin-Peeling Ghost King: "You don't need to try to sow discord at a time like this. My sister really likes him, so it's only natural for her to do whatever she wants."
Zu An was taken aback, never expecting Shang Liuyu to speak up for him like this.
The Skin-Peeling Demon King laughed and said, "What a thoughtful sister-in-law! She actually took the initiative to help him get away with it."
“I’ve known him longer than you have, and I know what kind of person he is,” Shang Liuyu said coldly. “There must be a reason why he didn’t tell us, such as you discovering our flaws beforehand.”
Zu An felt a warmth in his heart; Sister Shang was indeed different from ordinary girls.
"Haha, it's a pity that after acting for so long, he still helped me achieve my goal in the end. I've finally arrived here," the Skinning Demon King said, pointing to the abyss below. "Do you know what's down there?"
"What?" Shang Liuyu immediately had a bad feeling.
"This is the entrance to the Netherworld," the Skinning Demon King laughed. "It's destined that only the dead can enter. If you're not afraid of death, come with me."
After saying that, he jumped down and opened his arms to embrace the endless abyss below.
However, his vision suddenly blurred, and he found himself back on the ground.
Skinning Demon King: "???"
Shang Liuyu was shocked and hurriedly looked down the cliff. She had just seen Zu An use the Shadow Shift technique, so she naturally knew why the Skin-Peeling Ghost King would return here.
Sure enough, at this moment, Zaun was rapidly falling from the spot where the Skin-Peeling Demon King had been.
Remembering what the Skin-Peeling Ghost King just said—that the place below is the entrance to the Netherworld, and only the dead can pass through—wouldn't Zu An be doomed no matter how high his cultivation level was if he went down there?
Just then, Zu'an suddenly slammed his palm down, and a huge burst of energy shot out from his palm. He used the recoil to return to the cliff.
Upon seeing him land, Shang Liuyu's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Without any hesitation, Zuan appeared beside the Skin-Peeling Ghost King with lightning speed, immediately activating the Primordial Chaos Scripture and simultaneously using the "Dripping Heaven Essence Elucidation" to draw upon the dragon vein power of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons. The Tai'a Sword in his hand emitted a dazzling and brilliant sword light.
The sword light was like a sun, many times more dazzling than any sword energy he had ever unleashed before. Even the dense death energy above the abyss below the cliff was forced to recede considerably by this dazzling light.
The Skin-Peeling Demon King was terrified and immediately took out his Bone Scepter. A mass of black death energy condensed into countless ghosts wielding weapons and attacking the sword light.
The purifying power of the Primordial Chaos Qi naturally counters the Qi of Death, and coupled with the abundant dragon vein power in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, this sword strike from Zaun is more powerful than any sword strike before.
Almost instantly, those ferocious ghosts melted away in the face of that dazzling sword energy.
The Skin-Peeling Demon King's eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, the dazzling sword energy struck without hesitation, destroying his entire head.
His last thought was, "Are you playing me?"
I really appreciate it if you, someone as awesome as you, would still play along with my act!
Zuan was panting heavily. Everything had just happened in the blink of an eye. It seemed easy and effortless, but in reality, he had already simulated the scene countless times in his mind, refining every detail to the extreme, so as not to give the Skin-Peeling Ghost King a chance to react.
It should be noted that with the Skinning Demon King's cultivation level, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve such an instant kill against any one of the Fear Shadow Demons, or even if all three of them joined forces.
However, the Primordial Chaos Scripture of Zu'an possesses powerful purifying abilities, giving it a natural advantage over these ghosts. At the same time, he was worried that the ghost king's special status might allow him to resist this purifying power.
Therefore, the countless dragon veins in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons are his trump card!
Shang Liuyu, standing to the side, had her red lips wide open, wide enough to fit an egg. The scene before her was truly astonishing.
She was quite knowledgeable; her brother-in-law was one of the three great kings of the world, and she had also met the chief priest at the Human Race National Academy. She had also met Zhao Hao and the Demon Emperor on other occasions, so she knew the unique sense of aura that strong people possessed.
But that sword strike just now gave her a completely different feeling; it was unmatched, as if it were not on the same level!
That skinning demon king was actually very strong. He was able to successfully ambush the dragon king. His cultivation was no weaker than the dragon king's, and he was full of mystery. Yet, such a peerless expert was so easily killed by a single sword strike.
No wonder he's been so calm these days. I was so anxious back then, thinking about those three demons at the Earth Immortal level, and this unfathomable Skin-Peeling Ghost King. They also had many powerful subordinates, while we only had the sisters and Zu'an.
No matter what she thought, she had no chance of winning; she only stayed by Zuan's side through thick and thin because of her trust in him.
But now it seems that even if those three Earth Immortal level demons were here, or even if those terrifying monsters joined forces with the Skin-Peeling Ghost King, they still couldn't stop this dazzling sword strike.
The naive boy I met in the pavilion in Bright Moon City back then has grown up to be this big.
At this moment, Zu'an did not stop. He directly used the Primordial Chaos Scripture, along with the White Lotus True Fire and Phoenix Flame, to completely burn the remaining corpses of the opponent to ashes.
He had heard that the Skin-Peeling Demon King was supposedly unkillable. The sword strike he had just used was only intended to sever the opponent's limbs, cripple him, and imprison and suppress him.
Unexpectedly, this skinning demon king, who looked so powerful, was actually so useless; he collapsed before the demon even exerted any effort.
