Chapter 593: Terminus of Terror (1)

He appreciated the fact that Liu Yu was of a class of his own. Having once been hailed as the peerless Infernal Judge of Hell, he would never fall to such frivolous attacks on Qin Ye’s part.

“Pretty keen senses…” Liu Yu suddenly raised his head and revealed a bloodthirsty smile, “Unfortunately, it’s too late.”

The intensity of the murderous intent and the denseness of the Yin energy were both indubitably the strongest he had ever witnessed among any Infernal Judges he had encountered before!

Qin Ye was quick on his feet. Unfortunately, the shadows were even quicker. In the blink of an eye, the shadows swept across the land, consuming an entire area within a 10-mile radius from Liu Yu in an instant!

He slowly reached out with his hand. Although it was but a single hand, it appeared so large and domineering that it felt almost large enough to blanket the earth. As he opened his palm, the shadows all around suddenly rushed right back into his palm, coalescing into a black ball 1,000 meters in circumference that completely enveloped both men.

He held his spear horizontally across his chest. Surrounded by extreme darkness, he could hear every bit of raggedness in his own breaths. There wasn’t any wind or other sounds in this space, and yet he couldn’t help but feel as though someone were gently leaning over his back, breathing down the nape of his neck.

And in that instant, every single sword was pointed directly at Qin Ye!

Before he could even go on, the bone swords plunged straight towards Qin Ye like a torrential downpour of death!

“AHHHHHH!!!” With a defiant roar, Oda Nobutada rushed down with a maddened frenzy as he rushed straight at the Gwisin. Each of his six arms held tightly to their swords as karmic fire erupted from his body like a blossoming red lotus.

In turn, this might give Ryu Changmin a misleading signal, causing him to teleport right over, only to realize that Choi Taemin’s coffin was nowhere in sight.

Right now, they were playing for time. No matter how perfect the plan was, every second counted. They needed to kill Choi Taemin in the quickest possible time. And as things were right now… it still wasn’t enough!

I’ve got one shot… I need to end this with a single strike… With the MV Sewol right behind his back, Oda Nobutada knew that he only had one chance at stopping the Gwisin. He couldn’t risk allowing the Gwisin to collide into the MV Sewol at all. And if he couldn’t stop the Gwisin, then… it would spell a cataclysmic disaster for the plan.

With each word that he chanted, the swords in his hand began to emit a crimson lustre, and the muscles of his body began to swell and bulge rapidly. His Yin energy surged to the extreme peak of all Anitya Hellguards.

Oda Nobutada could practically hear his soul screaming by now.

“Form is but emptiness, and emptiness only form… Feeling, thought and choice, is but one’s consciousness…” His voice gradually became louder and more domineering as the beads hanging from his chest began to drift up into the air and clack wildly against each other. Meanwhile, a patch of crimson totem glowed brightly on his body, revealing a demonic sense of beauty and brilliance.

This little lackey actually wields that much power on his own?!

ROAR!!! The Gwisin opened her mouth wide, revealing rows after rows of razor-sharp teeth within, almost as though she were about to devour the entire cavern itself. A putrid stench instantly filled the air.

AS soon as he did, boundless karmic fire instantly rose to the sky, and coalesced into a scarlet wheel behind him. His six hands came together and formed a massive hand seal. At once, the six blades immediately came together and transformed into a pitch-black bone sabre that was 30-meters long!

BOOM!!!

He could tell that as Oda Nobutada swung his bone sabre, the MV Sewol was no more than 30 meters away from the Gwisin.

Is our missions going to fail like that

One second passed… two seconds… three seconds…

At once Wang Chenghao shot to his feet and climbed straight to the windows and peered out again.

The Gwisin had been cleaved into two equal parts, while Yin energy surged up like massive tidal waves from the grisly wounds on both sides of its body. In fact, Wang Chenghao could even see its eyes that were still filled with grievances, almost as though it were in denial that it had died.

Oda Nobutada was hurtling forward like a fiery meteor, crying out valiantly as he cut through every obstacle that stood in their way!

He raised his hands slowly and wiped off the cold sweat that was beading up all over his forehead.

Wasn’t I a student of the First Academy of Cultivators back in the mortal realm? Why have I suddenly become as useless as calefare down here in the afterlife?

Time seemed to elude him so much that he didn’t even realize it when Oda Nobutada returned to the vessel once more.

“Are you alright?” Oda Nobutada’s footsteps in the captain’s cabin jolted Wang Chenghao right back to his senses.

He smiled faintly. Then, he opened his lips as though he were about to say a word, before collapsing onto the ground without any warning.

The flames in Oda Nobutada’s eyes flickered so weakly that it seemed almost ready to be snuffed out in an instant, “No matter what happens… we must… get to the very bottom…”

“Even if… we can’t…” Oda Nobutada gasped desperately for air. With each breath that he took, Yin energy poured out of his body, almost as though his body were about to dissipate altogether in an instant, “You must… protect Lord Qin…”

Wang One Tail bit down on his lower lips and nodded with great determination.

It’s all up to me…

If it’s all up to me, then I’ll just have to rise to the occasion!

With that, he leapt right up to his feet and made his way straight to the bow of the ship as he peered ahead into the darkness.

At once, he began to steer the MV Sewol and adjust the direction of its trajectory even as he stared intently at the white hole that was slowly growing larger. 1,000 meters… 500 meters… 400 meters…

And their murderous intent was palpable to boot!

Whoosh… Yin energy erupted from his body, enveloping him completely in a Yin vortex. Moments later, he stepped out in his true form for the very first time.

Most of them looked just as they were in the moment right before their death. However, there were a select few whose true bodies were completely different from while they were alive.

And for further instance… him.

Unfortunately, he had never revealed this fact to anyone, nor had he ever thought of revealing this to anyone.

“ROARRRRRR!!!!”

Just then, he saw it. The guards at the exit included Yin soldiers and the faceless palace maids that they had encountered earlier. But with this one furious shriek, the exit was instantly cleared of all guardsmen! Every single one of the Operative-class and Hunter-class Daeian Yin spirits were instantly reduced to ashes.

It was… a corridor ahead.

What’s this… Wang Chenghao paused for a moment, and then immediately surveyed his surroundings.

This was the substratum of the caverns hidden beneath Gonjiam Asylum!

This was the source of all horror stories of Daehan. This was the Terminus of Terror!
