Chapter 1664: Pay with Your Life

"Fellow Daoist, did you just go to the outhouse to eat?"

Hearing Zhao Zhengping's words, this Netherworld powerhouse wore a strange expression as he spoke, and having just gone to the outhouse, what's with the oil stain on the corner of his mouth?

Upon hearing that, Zhao Zhengping's face darkened, and he immediately retorted in annoyance.

"You're the one who went to the outhouse to eat."

"Then what about the oil stain on the corner of your mouth......"

While speaking, the Netherworld sage pointed to the corner of his mouth; seeing this, Zhao Zhengping belatedly realized what was happening.

He hastily wiped away the oil stain at the corner of his mouth; he had come over too hastily and hadn't noticed this.

"You're mistaken."

Even Zhao Zhengping couldn't help but blush, and he forced himself to speak.

In response, the Netherworld sage's mouth twitched, as if saying, "You expect me to believe that?"

"Let's not worry about this; let's join forces and kill him first."

Obviously unwilling to dwell on this issue, Zhao Zhengping hastily changed the subject.

Upon hearing that, the Netherworld sage also understood the situation; although he didn't reply, he likewise launched an attack toward the opposing Imperial Palace sage.

Faced with the combined assault of Zhao Zhengping and the Netherworld sage, the Imperial Palace sage was clearly at a disadvantage.

Two fists can't match four hands; fighting two opponents alone is indeed too much pressure.

On the battlefield, as the people of Haotu Shijie and Yongye joined, the advantage gradually shifted toward Haotu Shijie's side.

However, although the Netherworld powerhouses were fighting, their hearts were filled with doubt.

Here, Xu Jie teamed up with a Netherworld sage; this guy is even more absurd—when he left earlier, he didn't forget to grab a chicken leg.

After joining the battle, he momentarily didn't react, still savoring the taste of that chicken leg from earlier.

He let out a furious roar.

"Watch the sword."

He immediately thrust with his sword, but only after the attack did Xu Jie realize he was holding a chicken leg—this is utterly absurd.

Even the opposing demon sage and the Netherworld sage beside him were stunned by the sight.

"Watch the sword? What sword? Where is your sword?"

Holding a chicken bone, he thrust with his sword, and Xu Jie himself couldn't help but blush.

This was terribly embarrassing; he hastily flung away the chicken bone, drew his long sword, his face flushed crimson, and attacked again.

"Watch the sword."

This time he really was showing his sword; seeing this, the opposing demon sage's expression grew complex as he launched a counterattack.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld sage looked at Xu Jie with a complex expression, wondering what the hell he had been doing earlier—how could he come back still holding a chicken leg?

Something's off, very off.

Seeing the Netherworld sage standing there dazed, and Xu Jie locked in fierce combat with the demon sage, he spoke irritably.

"What are you standing there for? Join forces and take it down!"

Under Xu Jie's urging, the Netherworld sage finally snapped to attention and, with a tumult of feelings, joined the battle.

This fight feels incredibly strange; having lived most of my life, I've never fought such a bizarre battle.

The atmosphere on the battlefield is somewhat odd, something everyone can sense.

Mainly because the Haotu Shijie folk and Yongye assassins who just returned are behaving quite strangely.

Such as going to the outhouse, holding a chicken bone, and constantly swallowing saliva during combat.

In any case, it's all utterly bizarre, leaving the Netherworld folk bewildered—should we even keep fighting?

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Luo Jiuyou and the Bloodfall Star's fight—Bloodfall Star, ambushed once again, seemed to have returned to the time of the Ashen Phosphor Realm, and this time its wounds are even more severe than before.

Its kidney was pierced straight through, and the blood hasn't stopped flowing to this day.

In the fierce clash with Luo Jiuyou, each move sent a sharp pain through Bloodfall Star's lower back, making it grit its teeth relentlessly.

"Damnable despicable wretch."

He had already cursed Luo Jiuyou in his heart as a bloody disgrace; this damned thing can do nothing but sneak attacks.

This is the second time; back in the Ashen Phosphor Realm it launched a sneak attack, and now it's doing it again.

Moreover, Ji Minghuang, from the very start, has been carefully guarding against Luo Jiuyou's sneak attacks.

After all, having experienced it once, it doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.

But Ji Minghuang, this simpleton, says what? You're overthinking—Luo Jiuyou isn't even there.

Then who is standing before me now? And who pierced my kidney?

His spirits sank to the depths, and yet, due to his injury, Bloodfall Star remained suppressed by Luo Jiuyou.

Several attempts to turn the tide all ended in failure; continuing like this, I'm likely truly in danger.

In contrast, Luo Jiuyou, facing Bloodfall Star, is absolutely exploding with battle power.

That state, compared to facing others, likely forces his strength up by several notches.

His eyes brim with killing intent; his strikes are incredibly vicious, each blow looking as if it aims to put Bloodfall Star to death.

From the successful sneak attack to now, Luo Jiuyou has given Bloodfall Star not even a moment to catch its breath.

It's simply striking while you're ill to take your life.

It becomes increasingly hard to endure; seeing Luo Jiuyou's assault grow ever fiercer, Bloodfall Star also feels a urge to retreat.

If we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid I'll really have to meet my end here.

Feeling the strain, Bloodfall Star, while fending off Luo Jiuyou's assault, gritted its teeth and spoke.

"Luo Jiuyou, are you really going to be this ruthless?"

Upon hearing that, Luo Jiuyou's assault did not wane; he let out a cold chuckle and said.

"Are you stupid? I've wanted to kill you not just for a day or two—you don't know?"

"Luo Jiuyou wants to kill Xueluo Xing; in Zhu Tian Wan Jie, among those Top Prodigies, everyone knows this."

"Everyone knows there is a blood grudge between them, so Xueluo Xing's words are simply foolish."

"Hearing Luo Jiuyou's answer, Xueluo Xing's teeth ground with a clack-clack sound, yet he still suppressed his anger and spoke."

"Luo Jiuyou, wasn't it just that you killed one of my Shòuchǒng back then? Over these years, haven't you killed fewer of my Shòuchǒng? At worst, I'll compensate you with one."

"No sooner were these words out than Luo Jiuyou's eyes turned red instantly; this bastard still dares to mention the Shòuchǒng to me?"

"The killing intent in his eyes surged again, and his aura was forcibly raised a notch."

"He said through gritted teeth."

"You bastard, what the hell is that Shòuchǒng? That's my family—what can you use to compensate me? Cut the nonsense; today is your death day."

"You................"

"Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Xueluo Xing went completely numb; what nonsense about family, a Shòuchǒng that hasn't even grown a full coat of fur."

"Xueluo Xing cannot understand Luo Jiuyou's feelings for that Shòuchǒng."

"Moreover, over these years, since that Shòuchǒng was slain by Xueluo Xing, Luo Jiuyou has indeed not raised any other Shòuchǒng."

"This shows his love for that Shòuchǒng is genuine; no wonder he hates Xueluo Xing to this extent."

"Once the words were spoken, Luo Jiuyou stopped wasting words with Xueluo Xing; if compensation is wanted, he'll pay with his own life."

"Today I will kill Xueluo Xing, using its life to console the spirit of my Shòuchǒng in heaven."
