Chapter 746: Shura Strikes

Inside the Nether Hell, the Underworld God is cultivating within the furnace.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition rose in his mind.

He slowly opened his eyes, and beside him a Yin Soul black shadow began to coalesce, bowing and reporting, "The Blood Fang Squad has been completely annihilated."

"Oh? This kid is really hard to deal with—he even wiped out the Blood Fang!"

He mused briefly, then ordered the black shadow, "Summon Shura."

The black shadow bowed once more and vanished.

Before long, a woman in white appeared before the Underworld God.

Her complexion was icy, her eyes blood‑red, but otherwise she looked no different from an ordinary person.

"Shura, go take over the Blood Fang mission! Remember to bring back the Mourning Bell!" the Underworld God instructed.

"Blood Fang failed? Mourning Bell?" Shura didn't ask about the mission; instead she curiously inquired about the Blood Fang.

"All forces annihilated!" the Underworld God said simply, then added, "The opponent is a twenty‑something young brat at the Yin‑Yang Realm!"

Shura heard this and was even more puzzled!

She is a genuine Venerable, at the Life‑Death Realm, two major realms above the Yin‑Yang Realm.

The missions she usually accepts involve destroying an entire continent or island, or taking part in a large‑scale battle to annihilate a domain. She has never gone after a Yin‑Yang Realm young brat alone.

"Yin‑Yang Realm? Do you need me to go? Is the Mourning Bell in his hands?"

To her, a Martial Cultivator of the Yin‑Yang Realm could be killed with a single breath!

"If you think that way, your end will be just like the Blood Fang's!"

The Underworld God gave her no further explanation, merely said a light remark and closed his eyes.

He then softly added, "I give you three years; after three years I will emerge. Then I will act personally!"

Upon hearing this, Shura's expression grew solemn.

Anyone who can make the Underworld God act personally must be extraordinary! It seems her mission this time isn't as simple as it appears.

Moreover, with only three years, if she fails, in the Underworld God's eyes she'll be no different from a waste.

"Yes!" she replied, and her figure vanished instantly.

Three years may seem long, but in reality, locating a person outside the domain still takes a great deal of time.

She first investigated the Blood Fang's whereabouts, deduced Ye Liuyun's destination, then boarded another Nether Ghost Ship, using the Nether Hell Teleportation Array to jump directly to the Five Sun Domain, pursuing Ye Liuyun.

To be safe, she also took two subordinates of the Zao Hua Fourth Tier, Fangtooth and Venomspike.

For all the crew, she didn't use Yin Souls; she brought only her own skeletal soldiers.

She brought a full three thousand skeletons!

Fangtooth and Venomspike have fought countless battles alongside her; even in the Nether Hell they are strong, ghost‑general‑rank warriors.

With them present, she need not handle everything personally along the way.

The Nether Ghost Ship they rode had a hull color identical to the one Ye Liuyun seized. However, the skull at the bow was red instead of black, looking even more ferocious and bloody.

At first, Fangtooth and Venomspike thought this scale of troop deployment was to eradicate an island.

They didn't expect that after learning the mission, it was to hunt down a Human Martial Cultivator of the Yin‑Yang Realm.

"Lord Shura, I heard that the Yin‑Yang Realm youngster wiped out the Blood Fang Squad?" Fangtooth asked Shura, somewhat puzzled.

"It's true. I have confirmation! Even their Nether Ghost Ship was seized by that kid!"

"What abilities does that kid have?"

If Shura hadn't personally confirmed, Venomspike would find it hard to believe the Blood Fang could fall to a Yin‑Yang Realm youngster.

"The Mourning Bell is in his hands!" Shura currently knows that much.

Fangtooth and Venomspike exchanged glances and fell silent.

They both knew the Mourning Bell's power, indeed harder to deal with.

However, they also doubted how much effect such a nether artifact could have in the hands of a Human Martial Cultivator of the Yin‑Yang Realm.

"The Underworld God only gave us three years. After three years, he will act personally!"

Shura conveyed the deadline to the two of them.

"What? The Underworld God will act personally?" both found it unbelievable.

"Therefore, you two, do not underestimate the enemy!"

Shura sensed what they were thinking, so she specifically reminded them.

"Yes!"

The two cautiously replied, then went to arrange the Yin Soul‑controlled Ghost Ship.

Shura began to close her eyes and cultivate, quietly awaiting news of Ye Liuyun's trace.

They were not far from Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun and his group had left the Five Sun Domain less than a month ago.

Once they were teleported to the Five Sun Domain, Ye Liuyun's Nether Curse reacted.

"A month's distance? Looks like it's in the Five Sun Domain!"

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered Du Yan to advance at full speed. The distance was indeed too short.

Moreover, Nether Hell will surely send stronger forces this time.

"Last time it was the Zao Hua Realm; I wonder if this time it will be a Venerable of the Life‑Death Realm?"

Ye Liuyun shook his head self‑deprecatingly.

He cannot choose the opponent's realm; he can only choose to fight or flee. Moreover, this kind of hunt seems endless.

Unless he can kill the Underworld God.

But that goal is far beyond his reach.

He now relies on the Hunting Demon Armor and Hunting Demon Bow, yet they cannot threaten the Underworld God.

"I still need to speed up and raise my realm, otherwise I'll only have the fate of being chased!"

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun immediately returned to cultivate, began absorbing spirit marrow, preparing to break through his realm.

Ye Liuyun's ghost ship always kept a certain distance from Asura's ghost ship.

Du Yan rushed forward with all his might.

Ye Liuyun only told him that a Nether Ghost Ship was chasing them from behind, but he also didn't know what level of expert it was.

But Du Yan had already guessed from the previous Nether Ghost Ship incident that whoever dared to chase Ye Liuyun must be stronger than the last Zao Hua Realm.

Just thinking that a Life-and-Death Realm expert was chasing them behind made Du Yan's scalp go numb; therefore he dared not delay even a moment.

Moreover, he was quite familiar with the route, so he had never been caught up by Asura's warship; instead, the distance between them kept growing.

They now sailed under the banner of Nether Hell, and no one dared to provoke them. Even when passing through several bandits' territories, the bandits kept far away. Thus their voyage was very smooth.

Fang and Poison Spur also pursued at full speed, but they simply could not catch up.

Their warships were of the same class. Unless Ye Liuyun's group stopped, trying to catch up by speed alone was hardly possible.

"It's fine; in three years he won't keep sailing. Just don't let him pull too far ahead!"

Asura also did not rush after learning the situation.

Thus Asura's ghost ship kept following Ye Liuyun's group, neither too far nor too close.
