Chapter 1160: Nether Fire

"Good, good, Ru Dao Peak realm; one more step forward, and it would be Spirit Rhinoceros," Zhou Tianbing gritted his teeth. "I miscalculated. I didn't expect that at your age, and having just stepped into the ranks of cultivation, you would actually possess the strength of Ru Dao."

"There are still many things you don't expect. Are you resigned to your fate now?" Chen Yu sneered. "You set up a Demon Refining Furnace in this place, which goes against the Heavenly Dao. I am killing you; you have nothing to say, right?"

"Chen Yu, don't you want to know at all who I am working for?" Zhou Tianbing raised his head resentfully. "Besides, we have regulations within Dragon Breath. Even if one commits a heaven-shaking crime, one must be escorted back to Dragon Breath and go through three halls and five interrogations before being sentenced."

"You cannot kill me now. If you kill me, you are violating the rules of Dragon Breath."

"Well, when I talked to you about rules, you played the rogue with me; when I want to kill you, you talk to me about rules? Where in this world is there such a good thing?" Chen Yu sneered, and a streak of Sword Qi had already formed in his hand.

"Chen Yu, what do you want to do? Are you really going to kill me? Are you really going to break the rules of Dragon Breath?" Zhou Tianbing began to panic.

"What do you think? A person like you has truly committed no shortage of heinous acts. If I let you go, I won't be able to get past that hurdle in my heart, so today, I will kill you directly." Chen Yu sneered.

"Aren't you afraid that the person behind me will retaliate against you? Chen Yu, the Demon Refining Furnace requires countless manpower, financial resources, and background. Do you really think that I, a mere little Deacon, could create such a magnificent Demon Refining Furnace on my own?"

"There is someone behind me. I might as well tell you, this person has great power within Dragon Breath. You should first determine if you can handle the other party." Zhou Tianbing said, gritting his teeth.

"Do you think I'm stupid? If you have the ability, name who the person behind you is. I will take you back to Dragon Breath, and I'll see if the other party dares to admit it." Chen Yu sneered.

"You..." Zhou Tianbing was speechless. It wasn't that he didn't dare to name them; as long as he could save his life, he could name the other party's ancestors back eighteen generations.

But even if he named them, it would be meaningless. The Demon Refining Furnace involves major consequences, and this matter itself is a defiance of the Heavenly Dao.

The person behind the scenes left absolutely no handle on themselves with him when building the Demon Refining Furnace. Even if he spoke, the other party would refuse to admit it.

Moreover, the Demon Refining Furnace carries the fire of injury to heaven. Even if the other party has a great background, they would not dare to take such a monstrous crime upon themselves.

That is to say, in fact, from the very beginning, as long as the matter of the Demon Refining Furnace was exposed or any problems arose, he would bear all the responsibility.

"Am I wrong? Since you took on this job of monstrous crime, you should have been prepared to bear everything." Chen Yu said coldly. "Because the person behind you is not stupid. He knows that doing this is a grave sin that would lead to the extinction of one's descendants and even the execution of one's entire clan, which could never be forgiven."

"So he will only escape. He took the lion's share of the benefits, right? You didn't get much of the Demon Cores refined by the Demon Refining Furnace over these years, did you?"

Zhou Tianbing remained silent. Indeed, most of the Demon Cores refined by the Demon Refining Furnace over these years were offered up; he really didn't get much benefit.

"You didn't get much benefit, and then when problems arose, it was all your responsibility. You, I really don't know what you were thinking."

Chen Yu almost laughed. "Earning the money of selling cabbage, but worrying about the affairs of selling white powder. Haha, a person like you is just a fool."

Zhou Tianbing realized that he truly could not escape this time. He raised his head, a look of pleading appearing in his eyes. "Chen Yu, let's make a deal?"

"You want me to let you go?" Chen Yu asked. "Do you have enough chips in your hand?"

"I can give you all the Demon Cores I have refined over these years. I hid some, originally intended for when I broke through my realm. Now I will give them all to you. These things are all good things."

Zhou Tianbing's desire to survive was very strong. Although it pained him greatly to take out all the Demon Cores, pain was pain, but he wouldn't go as far as to not want his own life.

If the things were gone, he could find a way to make a comeback later, but if his life was gone, then everything was empty talk. He didn't want to do such a stupid thing, so he looked at Chen Yu with pleading eyes.

"Demon Cores, do you think this thing has any temptation for me?" Chen Yu almost laughed.

Demon Cores are refined using the flesh and Origin Spirit of demons as a guide, and for ordinary people, they are indeed very useful.

But even if they were useful, how could they compare to the Spirit Pill and Wonderful Medicine that Chen Yu refined himself? Not to mention high-grade Pills, the Miyuan Pill he refined himself is more than three times as effective as a Demon Core.

This guy is trying to save his own life with these pieces of junk? It's truly a joke.

"These things are what Dharma Cultivators dream of. You may not know the benefits it can bring you, but I can tell you that if you want your realm to advance faster, these things are indispensable."

Zhou Tianbing saw that Chen Yu seemed interested, and he grabbed onto it like a straw. "Chen Yu, I will give you everything, just let me go."

"Letting you go is possible, but you have to tell me who the person behind the scenes is," Chen Yu said.

"I can't say. If I say it, I will lose my life. Not just me, even my family will die as well." A look of fear appeared on Zhou Tianbing's face. It was clear that he was terrified to the extreme of the person behind the scenes.

"Then there is nothing to talk about." Chen Yu said with some regret. "You are like this, which makes me feel that you are very insincere. For people who are insincere, I will not have high expectations."

Chen Yu pointed his right hand, and Sword Qi surged. Zhou Tianbing screamed in terror. "I'll say it, spare me, I'll say it right now."

"Speak." Chen Yu's Sword Qi pressed directly against Zhou Tianbing's vital points, and he spat out one word.

"He, he is..." Speaking to this point, Zhou Tianbing's expression suddenly stiffened.

Immediately after, blue flames ignited on his body. This was Nether Fire, coming from the Nine Nether Hell, controlled by one's intent; it was a type of Curse.

If the person under the Curse were to speak words that should not be said, the Nether Fire would ignite on its own.

The Nether Fire ignited instantly, and the scorching flames wrapped around Zhou Tianbing in an instant.

Zhou Tianbing screamed hysterically, rolling on the ground. He reached out to Chen Yu. "Save me... save me."

Chen Yu retreated several steps. This fire could not be extinguished by water, and it burned the soul. Even someone as strong as Chen Yu was unwilling to get even a little bit on him.

Moreover, the burning Underworld Fire could burn a person's body and soul clean together, leaving not a single trace.
