Chapter 598 - 598 Silence
598 Silence
Jiang Ming never expected that there would be so many dangers ahead.
With so many corpses, it was enough to prove that danger lurked everywhere. If he was not careful, he might die.
At the thought of this, Jiang Ming subconsciously stopped in his tracks. At this moment, Zhu An’an walked over.
“Mister, let me scout ahead!”
She should have stayed outside to watch over Gongye Jiu, but the latter insisted on letting her in.
Logically speaking, he should have thought of a way to subdue Gongye Jiu, but the man had retreated back into the bamboo scroll. This meant that as long as Jiang Ming and the others completed the mission here, he would naturally appear again.
Zhu An’an walked in with the bamboo scroll in her hand and earnestly requested to fight. She looked around and confirmed that there were many mysteries and dangers hidden here.
Jiang Ming alone would never be able to get through here, let alone get the Dragon Burial Sword
“You…”
Jiang Ming wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhu An’an was indeed above him in terms of cultivation and combat strength. It was not a bad idea to let her come forward.
“Pay attention to your safety. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately and ignore me.”
Zhu An’an nodded to show that she understood. Then, she took a step forward. Her entire body was covered in fog. However, this was not an ordinary fog. It was a special fog that was created with the Dark Yin Body as the foundation.
This fog contained some kind of powerful energy, such as the aura of the Netherworld. It was precisely because of this aura that the two sides quickly entered a stalemate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows as he heard the sound of collisions.
“An’an…”
“I’m fine. Mister, you’d better be careful. A certain amount of Netherworld aura has already formed here. It’s very easy for living people to be affected by this aura. So, I suggest you don’t come over.”
Jiang Ming shook his head. There was no reason for him not to go deeper. He immediately used all the energy in his body to form a huge barrier.
Zhu An’an was stunned when she saw this.
“Mister, you also have the power of the Netherworld?”
To be precise, the power that Jiang Ming possessed was not the power of the Netherworld. This power was a new power derived from the fusion of the Netherworld power and his mana.
Relying on the protection of this new power, Jiang Ming took a few steps forward smoothly. At the same time, a lot of Netherworld aura suddenly arrived and kept attacking Jiang Ming.
However, Jiang Ming was fearless. He raised his hand and counterattacked again and again. Unexpectedly, he was forced back a few steps in the next second.
“Mister!”
Zhu An’an ran over to check on Jiang Ming with a worried expression.
“I’m fine. You just stand there.”
Jiang Ming raised his hand to signal for her to stay back. He knew very well that although he could protect himself with this power, it was still difficult to resist such a strong Netherworld aura here.
“I have to think of other ways.”
Jiang Ming’s mind kept racing, and he quickly thought of a method. It was also with this mysterious method that he suddenly took a few steps forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another series of clashing sounds rang out. This time, Jiang Ming did not choose to retreat. Instead, he condensed a fierce sword with the new power.
“Dark Mysterious Sword! Kill them all!”
He did not dare to hesitate. He shot out with his sword, causing the other party to retreat dozens of steps. Only then did he manage to stabilize his body.
“You…”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
However, Jiang Ming had expected this and narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Who’s behind this?”
Jiang Ming waved his hand. He knew very well that there must be someone behind all this.
The other party was silent for a while and did not intend to show up. This made Jiang Ming frown repeatedly. Finally, he could not hold it in anymore and immediately shouted loudly, “I told you to come out. Did you not understand what I meant?”
The other party still did not intend to show up.
This time, Jiang Ming shook his head and said impatiently, “I thought you were a guy with some guts, but now it seems that you people were just greedy and wanted to get the Dragon Burial Sword. Thus, you died here! And you, the person who hides behind all this is the greediest person. You actually killed all your companions with the goal of condensing such a majestic Netherworld aura to drown everything. Am I right?”
As Jiang Ming spoke, he raised his hand and threw out a punch. The powerful force shook the void, and it took a long time for it to stabilize.
The person who was hiding behind everything hurriedly made some moves to calm himself down.
As such a powerful force was unleashed, the other party quickly sensed that something was wrong and suddenly turned his head to reveal a surprised expression.
“What’s wrong with you? Why did he have such powerful strength? You have a sort of Netherworld power too! Where did you get it?”
This guy obviously had a deep understanding of the power of the Netherworld and the power of immortal cultivation. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to recognize Jiang Ming’s fusion power.
After confirming the fusion power, the other party sucked in a few breaths of cold air and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Brat, you really deserve to die! I have spent four to five hundred years and still have not been able to create this fusion power. What right do you have to do so? I’ve worked so hard! How did you get to where you are today? How?”
This guy was so angry that he wanted to tear Jiang Ming into pieces.
Jiang Ming looked at this scene. He formed a sword and shield out of the fusion power.
In fact, he was unable to create the fusion power. He had only used some special methods to create it temporarily. Once he left the Netherworld, he naturally would not be able to maintain the fusion power.
The other party did not realize this. He was still roaring and attacking Jiang Ming again and again.
“Impudent!”
At this moment, Zhu An’an turned back and raised her hand to cut off all of the other party’s attacks. She took a step forward and instantly made the other party dizzy.
“If you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!”
This time, Zhu An’an did not hesitate at all. Those who dared to hurt Jiang Ming would only die.
However, with this attack, the entire area instantly fell into a short silence. This was caused by Zhu An’an’s fate.
The Dark Yin Phoenix fate itself had a certain influence on time and s.p.a.ce. Now, Zhu An’an was furious and directly froze the surrounding area.
“Zhu An’an!”
Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched. Zhu An’an was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm now. Once she advanced to the Soul Formation Realm, wouldn’t she be too powerful?
