Chapter 500: Hellhound·Nine-eared Dog
The Land of Three Lives, outside the old temple.
E Kui was tactful enough not to confront Luo Tianjun directly, but chose to take a detour to the Ghost Gate.
After all, no matter how unruly he is, E Kui has not forgotten the sense of crisis that Shen Tu brought to him.
Faced with the Netherworld Lord, who is even more powerful than Shentu, no ghost or god with a normal mind would think of provoking him.
Unfortunately, no matter what shortcut Ekui takes, he must eventually pass through the Gate of Hell to reach the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Therefore, when E Kui saw the dangerous pass, he stopped immediately.
Immediately afterwards, E'kui's body became ethereal again, and he tried to rush out of the pass at a lightning speed.
E Kui did not expect that his actions could be hidden from Luo Tianjun.
All its actions now are just to break out of the ghost gate before Luo Tianjun can react.
By that time, it wouldn’t matter even if I was wanted by Luo Tianjun.
“Ouch!”
Just as everything was developing as E Kui had expected, a sudden wolf howl appeared in its ears.
The next second, the originally virtual Evil Kui's body shook violently as if struck by lightning, and he was forced to exit the virtual state.
“Ahem…”
He coughed uncontrollably a few times.
E Kui could only watch the gates of hell that were so close to him, then slowly turned around and faced the direction where the wolf howl came from.
Buzz! The demon-slaying sword at the waist was automatically unsheathed, and the malice from the extremely evil demons and gods enveloped the entire place.
Evil Kui is never a good person, especially when his goals are blocked.
"dog?"
It was not until this time that the figure of the blocker was officially exposed to the evil leader's sight.
It was a black vicious dog several meters tall. Its ferocious face and greedy saliva were the first impression it gave people.
Maybe it’s because he is too tall.
The bulging muscles looked particularly creepy and intimidating.
The most important thing is that this black vicious dog has nine ears behind its head.
These nine ears give the black dog extremely sharp hearing, and no one can hide from it and escape from the gates of hell.
“Ouch!”
He didn't even wait for the villain to continue observing and thinking.
The nine-eared dog, which was as ferocious and vicious as it was, pounced on it without hesitation.
Su——Boom!
In a flash, the Demon-Slaying Sword shot towards the Nine-Eared Dog at the fastest speed.
At the same time, E Kui also instantly rushed forward, intending to end the battle quickly.
Clang! Clang! Clang! After a series of metal-clanging sounds, E Kui was surprised to find that this nine-eared vicious dog could actually confront his demon-slaying sword head-on.
The sword that could kill all evil spirits actually had an obvious crack after several collisions.
On the other hand, the nine-eared dog's sharp claws are still as sharp as usual.
The only thing to be thankful for is that although the Nine-Eared Dog's body has amazing strength, it is still flesh and blood after all.
So when it collided with the Demon-Slaying Sword, the Nine-Eared Dog deliberately avoided its edge and only responded with its sharp claws.
"Huh!"
After realizing this, E Kui immediately changed his fighting style.
He quickly grasped the Demon-Slaying Sword, and then his body and the sword expanded rapidly, turning into a giant god standing tall.
E Kui just couldn't believe that the Nine-Eared Dog would dare to take his Ghost-Slaying Sword head-on under such circumstances.
“Ouch!”
It turned out to be just as E Kui had expected.
After seeing its opponent growing rapidly, the Nine-Eared Dog wisely chose to avoid the opponent's attack.
Boom!
Seeing this, E Kui took a decisive step forward.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the Nine-Eared Dog, it directly passed through its obstruction, and the huge body rushed towards the gates of hell again.
That’s right, E Kui had no intention of getting entangled with the Nine-Eared Dog from the very beginning.
Even if he defeated the Nine-eared Dog in the end, what would happen? As long as he alerted Luo Tianjun, wouldn't he still be captured in the end?
E Kui was not foolish enough to think that he could be compared with Lord Netherworld, let alone fight Lord Luo head-on.
“Ouch!”
After realizing that he had been tricked, the nine-eared dog roared again in anger.
In an instant, the surging malice and murderous intent turned into tangible power, causing the Nine-Eared Dog's body to swell and grow rapidly, and soon it had a size comparable to the giant Evil Kui.
Then, the nine-eared dog chased out of the ghost gate and killed the evil Kui who was still fleeing with lightning speed.

The old temple, the statue of Luo Tianjun.
I don't know when he quietly opened his eyes, and Luo Tianjun looked majestically in the direction of the Ghost Gate.
“Is this God’s will?”
Ao Xing appeared silently under Luo Tianjun's seat, holding the little ghost in one hand and asked casually.
"When he was alive, it was Huan Gou who created the predecessor of E Kui..."
"After his death, the nine-eared dog transformed from the ring dog caught the evil Kui..."
"If I didn't know clearly that you didn't mean that, sometimes I would really doubt whether this was just your bad taste."
Just as Ao Xing said, the nine-eared dog was actually the ring dog that was punished by the Lord of the Underworld.
Deprived of his thoughts, deprived of his responsibilities...
Let him guard the gate of hell forever until he has cleared himself of the mistakes he made.
This is the punishment given to Huan Gou by the Lord of the Underworld, and it is also a manifestation of the mercy of the Goddess of Death.
At least, that's what Ao Xing thought.
For a derelict in his duty as a ferryman of the underworld, the lightest punishment would be for his soul to be scattered and never to be reborn.
"We have no evil intentions. We are just enforcing the rules of the Netherworld."
Luo Tianjun's voice was calm and ruthless as he calmly expressed the Netherworld Lord's philosophy.
This is exactly the contract signed between the Old Gods and the Creator.
They are responsible for maintaining the yin and yang balance between the underworld and the world of mountains and seas, and the Creator allows them to break free from the constraints of the [Temple of the Void] and return to this world.
"A ruthless defender of order. This is consistent with my understanding of you."
Ao Xing knew that what Luo Tianjun said was true. They were indeed a group of cold-blooded, machine-like order maintainers.
However, Ao Xing also knew that the Heavenly Kings were not truly heartless and desireless.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Huan Gou to be punished by being turned into a nine-eared dog, and it would have been even more impossible for E Kui to break through the gates of hell and leave the underworld.
"Great love is ruthless" may be the best word to describe the Lords of the Underworld.
"Do you need my help?"
After a moment's silence, Ao Xing spoke again.
Since Evil Kui and Nine-eared Dog have left the Netherworld, someone must go and supervise them just in case.
Ao Xing felt that apart from himself, there was probably no one more suitable than himself in the underworld.
However, it seemed that Luo Tianjun had already made arrangements for this.
"No, you don't need to do anything this time."
"Shen Tu and Yu Lei will watch over them and won't let them get into trouble."
