Chapter 178 Another Cardinal
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Paris shook his head, and the space around him began to collapse, plunging him into an endless darkness.
The previous scene was shattered into pieces of mirror, which could be clearly seen.
He didn't panic, but instead searched for Garuda's figure.
Space collapse poses little threat to powerful creatures; its only use is for surprise attacks, as the success rate of such attacks is highest in the darkness.
"You really are a clown. You weren't here when the Ancient King moved the Nether Bell, and you weren't here when I went to the Dark Dimension. Now you're showing up?"
"You really think you've gotten stronger?"
A hand grabbed Paris's head, a voice came from behind, followed by intense heat.
However, it poses little threat to Paris.
Because of the ringing of the Nether Bell, he is now extremely powerful, possessing a certain degree of immortality. Even a supreme monarch of the same level would have to give way to him. "You two stay here for now." Su Ming began to compress the space even more deeply.
He needs to find time to deal with Mingzhong. Once Mingzhong is dealt with, Paris will lose most of his power, and so will Xu Sheng.
Moreover, Su Ming's original target was not these two people; they were just incidental, suddenly appearing to block his way.
Su Ming now has several objectives: to eliminate Lord Wu'an, destroy the Nether Bell, and suppress the person who rang the Nether Bell, handing them over to the real Su Ming to deal with.
"Trying to leave?" In the darkness, Xu Sheng was like a fish in water. His cultivation level was already high, and with the blessing of the Nether Bell, he was invincible in the super-level realm.
Although he still couldn't beat Su Ming now, it was unrealistic to think he could restrain and subdue him with just a thought.
A magical aura swirled around Xu Shen, the starry sky was vast, and flames illuminated the darkness.
His superior fire magic allowed him to see the way even in the collapsed, dark space. He found Su Ming and immediately rushed over.
Su Ming cannot leave. If he does, Paris will target him, and Xu Sheng cannot allow that to happen.
Moreover, it would be very troublesome for Su Ming to go to Jiu Ying's side. Killing two birds with one stone, it can easily restrain two people, which is simply perfect.
"Although I don't want to bully the weak with numbers, Garuda, you are different. I don't even have the right to be reasonably compared to you, so I don't feel ashamed of bullying the weak with numbers."
"Would demons feel ashamed?"
Paris was taken aback, then laughed and said, "You're right, demons don't have these kinds of feelings. It's just that I've been locked up for too long, and even if I were out now, there's nothing I could do."
"You know that Lord Wu'an, right? I'm no match for him, which is very complicated. I have to find the person who will ring the bell of the underworld, but I will definitely encounter Lord Wu'an before that. There will only be one outcome: my death."
"So I thought, well, it's not bad to just kill some time with you here."
"Time can be faked, and so can your life." A wind blade severed Paris's head, but it immediately regenerated.
Xu Sheng rushed over at this moment. In order to ensure Su Ming's physical condition, Xiao Qing did not suppress the power. Too much power would damage the foundation and cause irreparable damage, which was something she would not allow to happen.
Su Ming was able to withstand his current power only because he had spent some time with Bi Fang. If it were before, even with the remnants of his past, he wouldn't have been able to unleash it.
While Su Ming, Xu Sheng, and Paris were fighting, Jiu Ying had already found the entrance.
It's just an ordinary road; you can walk it normally without any problems. But finding the two prisons requires skill; otherwise, you'll never be able to walk it correctly in your entire life.
Nine-Headed Serpent had only taken two steps when footsteps sounded behind him.
Two footsteps were heard, one very light, seemingly belonging to a woman, and the other heavier, accompanied by breathing sounds, indicating that the person was quite tired.
"Long time no see." Jiuying turned around and greeted him warmly.
"I don't recall ever meeting you before," the other woman replied coldly. She was wearing red, exactly the same as Jiu Ying had worn before, indicating that she was also a cardinal.
Wu Ku followed behind him, unable to stand upright, a result of being slapped by Lord Wu'an.
"That's really terrible," Jiu Ying joked. Compared to dealing with this annoying woman, Jiu Ying preferred to interact with Wu Ku, mainly because she had met him many times and had a general idea of what kind of person he was.
"Nine Infants, I have only one purpose in coming here. Do you think you should give it to me?" Salang laughed.
Why?
"I'll leave immediately once I get what I want. I won't bother you anymore. It'll save you trouble and save me trouble too. It's a win-win situation."
"That makes sense." Jiuying's opinion was similar to Salang's, but he had no intention of agreeing.
Sa's purpose was simple: that sword. The ancient king did not build this tomb casually; he left many important things inside, and the ancient sword that could command the fallen kings of all directions was one of them.
This place is not undefended. Putting aside the White-Robed Corpse General, the Eight Directions Dead King, Lord Wu'an has been here since the ancient tomb was built, making him the true guardian of the tomb.
The purpose was to prevent outsiders from taking away the treasures left behind by the ancient king.
"That's a good suggestion. What kind of reward do you plan to offer in exchange for my support?" Jiuying asked with a smile.
Shuang Jiuying interrupted her: "Don't talk about win-win or not. I'm very free, and do you really think I'm making a profit?"
"If they arrest you, what kind of terms do you think they'll offer?"
"The negotiations broke down?" Sa felt a little regretful. To be honest, it would have been better to maintain relations with Jiu Ying.
"We've never negotiated, okay? You don't even know why I'm here, so what's there to talk about? We've never been on the same page from the very beginning."
Jiuying suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was behind Wu Ku without leaving a trace. It appeared out of thin air, which startled Wu Ku. "Look, I can kill you two anytime, anywhere. What do you have to negotiate with me? I'm just too lazy to kill you."
Jiuying disappeared again, returning to its previous position, where it could kill Salang.
At least in Jiuying's own mind, it was acceptable to kill, but the specifics depended on the other party's situation.
Jiuying would not look down on anyone, let alone a cardinal. It was normal for them to have some strange things in their hands, just like Jiuying himself, who had quite a few odd gadgets.
He couldn't even finish explaining everything at once, and he himself was unaware of the terrifying extent of some of his worries.
"Have fun." Jiuying waved his hand, preparing to leave.
Since Salang has already found us, we can't stay here. There are many ways to enter the space where Lord Wu'an is, so there's no need to stick to this one.
