Chapter 142

"If that's the case, I know there is a location deep underground."

"A large amount of the Magic Council's treasure is buried there. If you need it, I can tell you right now."

Through intelligence, Jackal clearly also knew Blackbeard's identity as a pirate, and subconsciously thought the opponent had come for treasure.

After all, as a pirate, wasn't treasure what they yearned for?

But obviously, Jackal guessed the purpose of Blackbeard's trip wrong.

If it were the Blackbeard in the original work, he would likely be interested in these treasures, but unfortunately, as Blackbeard's controller, what Lin Cheng really wanted was strength.

Bang—!

Black mist surged, and along with the swing of his fist, he fiercely shattered the wall that was already mostly broken; in Jackal's trembling gaze, Blackbeard said coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, I'm not in the mood to waste time with you."

"Tell me everything you know, otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Hearing Blackbeard's words, Jackal clenched his fists tightly, almost unable to resist making a move.

If it weren't for considering the opponent's strength, if it weren't for considering the consequences of mission failure, with his personality, he would have rushed up to fight, even if he couldn't win, he would have self-destructed.

But... the trouble was that this person was not just powerful; as a person from another world, he himself was shrouded in mystery.

In a situation where he didn't know the opponent's background at all, acting rashly was completely a foolish act.

After thinking about it, Jackal could only bite the bullet and say.

"I don't know, and I don't know what you mean."

Hearing this, Blackbeard smiled coldly, looking at him lightly and saying.

"It seems you don't intend to tell me the information. Then, in that case, go to hell."

Lin Cheng was in no mood to talk nonsense with Jackal; the war was still breaking out on the ground, and although the time was long, there was no need to drag it out.

He was a perfectionist.

Since he was about to get the thing, why drag it out?

Wait...

Suddenly, when looking at Jackal, an idea emerged in Lin Cheng's mind.

'Perhaps, he can help me pass some things out.'

'At least, after the war, those guys from Tartaros can also move.'

Seeing Blackbeard suddenly emit a cold, eerie gaze, Jackal's body suddenly stiffened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Blackbeard.

Then, in the next second, his Curse was instantly activated, and he suddenly approached Blackbeard.

With a wave of his right hand, a powerful explosion immediately detonated on Blackbeard's body.

"Boom—!"

The energy generated by the explosion spread out, and the underground passage shook for a moment.

Seeing his Curse hit, a hint of joy appeared on Jackal's face, but before he could be happy for a few seconds, the smile on his face completely froze.

Because within his field of vision, the smoke dissipated, and Blackbeard still appeared in front of him unscathed; that surprise attack didn't even damage the opponent's clothes.

As if he couldn't believe it, a few more explosions landed.

But the result was without exception.

"How is this possible? My Curse actually had no effect at all!"

Looking at the unscathed Blackbeard walking toward him slowly, a hint of horror appeared in Jackal's eyes, and he turned to retreat.

But, just as he was about to retreat, Jackal found that his Cursed Power couldn't be activated.

At the same time, a thick black mist coiled around his body.

The moment he touched the black mist, Jackal could feel his body constantly sinking, and at the same time, the Cursed Power in his body was constantly flowing away.

"What's going on? My Cursed Power?"

Hum, hum, hum—!

Jackal tried to activate his Curse several times, but the result was the same; it disappeared into the black mist.

A few seconds later, Jackal also realized that this wasn't his problem, but that the black mist coiled around them was tricky.

And just as Jackal was trapped by the black mist, Blackbeard was already very close to him.

"I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. One last chance, give me your answer."

Boom—!

The black mist, like a venomous snake, coiled around Jackal's body; under the powerful swallowing energy, Jackal was already covered in blood and gore.

However... Jackal didn't show a feeling of pain.

On the contrary, the panicked look from before had disappeared, replaced by a manic expression.

"Kill me."

In a situation where he couldn't use his Cursed Power to escape, Jackal couldn't even commit suicide, but Jackal wasn't afraid of this.

As long as the Hell Core existed, his soul could be quickly resurrected after death.

Regarding this, how could Lin Cheng, who was controlling Blackbeard, not know their plan?

"Kill you? You're hoping to die quickly and then return to Tartaros to be resurrected through the Hell Core, right?"

Hearing Jackal's words, Lin Cheng sneered.

"Tartaros? Hell Core?"

As soon as the words fell, Jackal heard Blackbeard's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of extreme danger appeared as he looked at Lin Cheng and asked seriously.

After all, he had never mentioned Tartaros from beginning to end, let alone the existence of the Hell Core.

One must know that the opponent was just a person from another world who had just arrived in this world from the Grand Line not long ago; where did he get this information?

"Because your soul has already told me."

"Could it be that an organization that has existed for nearly four hundred years doesn't even know of the existence of the Great Will?"

"Great Will? What is that?"

Hearing this, Jackal was stunned on the spot.

Clearly, Jackal was very unfamiliar with this term and had no impression of it at all.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng, who was controlling Blackbeard, directly turned on the bluffing Sage Mode.

"Do you think why we came to this world? To not even be able to guess this, it's truly ridiculous."

"Not to mention occupying the main world, history actually has gaps, and you don't even know the omniscient and omnipotent Great Will; it's truly pathetic."

"Omniscient and omnipotent?"

What on earth is this?

Jackal was crazy, not an intelligent demon.

The reason the Underworld King sent him was just to steal information about Face while the war broke out.

What kind of ghost is the Great Will?

"Why ask so much? Anyway, you're already a dead man."

However, clearly this time Lin Cheng didn't intend to continue talking, because the more he said, the more he would reveal.

The more mysterious, the harder it was to guess the truth behind the mystery.

Now he was just using Jackal's mouth to pass it on to the Underworld King.

As for how the opponent would think next, let the Underworld King imagine it himself.

Saying this, the black mist continued to spread, and it looked like it was about to completely submerge Jackal's head.

"No, I have to find a way to commit suicide."

Seeing the eerie light flashing in Blackbeard's eyes, Jackal also quickly realized the outcome he might face.

With a fierce gaze, Jackal directly pierced his own skull with a punch.

Bang—!

Green blood surged out instantly.
