After shaking his weak and powerless arm, Chu Linfeng showed a bitter smile on his face: "I actually managed to slay the Ghost King with just one strike, it’s simply unbelievable. The power of the Qilin Arm combined with the Star Slash is indeed domineering, but this feeling of weakness is quite uncomfortable."

Regarding the death of the Ghost King, Chu Linfeng could only consider it a stroke of luck in his heart. If it weren’t for Chu Qing and Chu Tong’s assistance, he might have been the one injured. The Ghost King’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Spirit Technique is no less damaging to the soul than his own Soul Slash. If the soul suffered heavy injuries, the attack power would be naturally affected. With the Ghost King’s strength, it should be quite easy for him to kill someone who is critically injured.

However, the Ghost King never expected that his trump card survival technique would be of no use to him, instead bringing about fatal damage due to this strike. Truly, the unpredictability of events is hard to foresee.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the distant Lord of Netherworld and found him struggling to hold on. The strength of the Beast King is indeed extraordinary. Managing to remain unharmed in his Illusion Realm aptly fits a top-tier strongman of his race. With a thought, Chu Linfeng instantly teleported to the front of the Lord of Netherworld.

Seeing Chu Linfeng approaching, the Lord of Netherworld breathed a sigh of relief, squeezing a smile onto his pale face: "Lin Feng, you surprised me so much. The Ghost King’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Spirit Technique couldn’t harm you at all, it’s truly unbelievable."

"Father-in-law, you overpraise me. Lin Feng was just lucky. By the way, how’s the Beast King doing? I can see the Lord of Netherworld has obviously consumed too much Nether Power. I think it’s best to let him out. With our combined strength, even if we can’t kill him, we can at least scare him away." said Chu Linfeng.

After using the Qilin Arm to perform the Star Slash earlier, the chaotic dragon power within him was noticeably reduced again. Now, at most, he could perform another Star Slash. If this strike doesn’t critically injure the Beast King, then next he’ll have to wait to be critically injured or slain by the Beast King.

Of course, Chu Linfeng wasn’t worried about his own safety. In the Netherworld, his speed in instant teleportation should be unmatched. Escaping was very easy, but the Lord of Netherworld would be in trouble. He couldn’t just leave him behind.

After all, he had been quite good to him, and he was also Yiyi’s father. If Yiyi learned that he abandoned her father and fled at a critical moment, she would definitely go berserk.

The Lord of Netherworld nodded and after withdrawing the Illusion Realm, let out a breath and said: "The Beast King is indeed formidable. Although his attack power isn’t the strongest, his defense power is second to none. We must not be careless, especially as he hasn’t yet shown his true form, which is when both his attack power and defense power are truly formidable."

"What is the Beast King’s true form? Father-in-law should know, right? Actually, it’s easier to deal with the Nether Beast transformed into true form than the one turned into human form because the true form of the Nether Beast can be found its weaknesses, while it’s hard to find them in human form. Moreover, the body becomes smaller and more agile, making it very difficult to slay." Chu Linfeng asked.

"Not many people know the Beast King’s true form, I’m naturally one of them. He is a descendant of an Ancient Nether Dragon, and the most powerful aspect is his Dragon Flame, which we might have an opportunity to witness today." Lord of Netherworld said.

"Nether Dragon? That’s indeed a terrifying existence. But rest assured, father-in-law, if we really can’t deal with him, you should leave first. My speed he cannot match, so there’s no need to worry about my safety." Chu Linfeng said.

At this moment, the Beast King escaped from the Illusion Realm, laughing loudly: "Lord of Netherworld, your Nether Illusion Space is nothing special. I thought it was much more impressive, yet I still managed to escape from it!"

The person wasn’t seen, but the voice arrived first. This Beast King is indeed quite arrogant. For such conceited people, Chu Linfeng has the utmost disdain and immediately said: "Beast King, have you become an idiot in the Illusion Realm? You think the Nether Illusion Space is somewhere you can just exit at will? My father-in-law intentionally let you out just to better slay you, yet here you are boasting without shame, truly unaware of your own mortality."

The Beast King appeared not far from Chu Linfeng and the Lord of Netherworld, and upon seeing Chu Linfeng, he was taken aback. A look of surprise crossed his face. This kid had just battled the Ghost King; the Lord of Netherworld couldn’t attack the Ghost King while performing the Nether Illusion Space. Now that he’s here, where did the Ghost King go? Could he have been slain by him? That’s impossible. Even if I turned into my true form, I would only be evenly matched with the Ghost King.

This kid’s strength I have experienced, slightly weaker than my own. Now with the Ghost King not present, it indeed seems beyond belief, so he immediately asked: "Kid, your life is really quite lucky, managing to escape from the hands of the Ghost King. In this Netherworld, you are apparently the number one in escaping. But today, I will make sure you won’t have another escape."

"Hahaha! You old fool, have you become silly in the Illusion Realm? If the Ghost King were still here, how could I be chatting with you so leisurely? Let me tell you the truth, that Ghost King whom you think is immensely powerful has already been slain by me. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Spirit Technique before me is nothing but child’s play. You overestimate him dearly." Chu Linfeng laughed heartily.

The Beast King shuddered all over upon hearing this. These words are not light in weight. If the Ghost King were truly here, he wouldn’t be speaking to me so calmly. There are only two possibilities: either the Ghost King has escaped, or he’s been slain. But I don’t believe the Ghost King could be killed by him. It’s very likely that he’s been lured away, just like how he lured me away. This boy’s cunning is not to be underestimated.

"Boy, you’re not afraid of boasting too much, are you? If you can kill the Ghost King, your strength must be impressive. It seems I underestimated you. Today, I’ll let you witness my true power," the Beast King said, and a suffocating aura surged from his body towards Chu Linfeng and the others.

"Beast King, aren’t you too arrogant? You should know that you’re facing two strong adversaries right now. You truly believe your true form can defeat both of us? Today, let’s see how powerful you truly are," the Lord of Netherworld remarked.

Scaring off the Beast King is the best outcome, otherwise, in a battle later, it’s really uncertain who will live and who will die. After the battle with the Ghost King, Chu Linfeng was definitely severely depleted, and my strength can at most play at fifty percent. Facing the Beast King’s true form of the Nether Dragon is indeed dangerous.

"Lord of Netherworld, you’re already at the end of your rope. Do you really think I’d fear you? Enough nonsense. Today, I’ll take your lives to avenge the people of my Beast King City and my son. Prepare to die!" The Beast King roared with fury.

Then a dragon’s roar echoed through the heavens, and a massive blue dragon appeared in the void. The Beast King transformed into the true form of the Nether Dragon, spanning hundreds of meters—it was indeed terrifying.

Chu Linfeng’s face slightly changed, thinking the Beast King is really a stubborn fellow. If scaring him away isn’t possible, then a desperate battle is the only option. Gripping the hilt of the Cyan Frost Sword tightly, he rapidly expanded his divine sense to commune with the Thunder Element in the air, preparing for a Thunder Strike against this arrogant Nether Dragon to show his worth.

"Lin Feng, after the Beast King transforms into his true form, his defense power is even more astonishing. Ordinary attacks have no effect on him, and with such a large body, significantly injuring him is even more difficult. I think we should escape in different directions, even if he is strong he can only pursue one person, then we’d still have a chance to survive," the Lord of Netherworld suggested.

"Father-in-law, don’t worry. Although the Beast King is formidable, I’m not a pushover. Why don’t you leave first and leave the Beast King to me? Even if I can’t kill him, escaping won’t be an issue. At this moment, I’m curious to see exactly how powerful this Nether Dragon is," Chu Linfeng replied.

He had made a decision at this moment; when the Beast King revealed his true form, he saw the Nether Dragon was merely a three-clawed dragon, which is considered very lowly among the Dragon Race. If he transformed into a Divine Dragon, he would undoubtedly suppress him significantly in momentum, thus weakening his strength considerably.

"This action is unwise. Why don’t we just give it our all against him today, live or die, leaving it to destiny?" suggested the Lord of Netherworld categorically.

"Father-in-law, don’t you believe in Lin Feng? Since I’ve spoken words like this, I must possess such strength. Now that Ruoxi and Yiyi’s whereabouts are uncertain, I suggest you return to Jiuyou City to check. I’ve already sent Xiao Qiang and the Second Elder back ahead. Find a safe place to recover, and after I’ve dealt with this fellow, I’ll naturally come to find you," Chu Linfeng said earnestly.

The Lord of Netherworld looked at Chu Linfeng, feeling a bit helpless. As the king of a clan, fleeing is hard to accept, but seeing Chu Linfeng’s confident gaze, he said, "Be careful; we’ll be waiting for your return!"

Then the Lord of Netherworld’s body flickered, and with an instant teleportation, he vanished. The Beast King, transformed into the Nether Dragon, was slightly stunned, not expecting the Ghost Race’s Clan Leader would flee, and shook his massive body saying, "Lord of Netherworld, you really are capable, fleeing in disgrace upon facing the true form of the king, truly tarnishing the Ghost Race’s reputation!"

"Old immortal, didn’t you see young master here? Two people fighting you is unnecessary; dealing with a little mudfish like you alone is sufficient. I’ve sent my father-in-law back to prepare a feast; later, I’ll return with your dragon head to celebrate," Chu Linfeng declared.

"Roar!" A dragon’s roar echoed through the skies, and the Beast King was fully enraged by Chu Linfeng’s words. A stream of blue dragon flame was directed at Chu Linfeng. Anticipating the Beast King’s move, Chu Linfeng was already prepared; as he opened his giant mouth, his figure created a phantom moving sideways to dodge, while the communion with the Thunder Element intensified for a possible surprise attack.

"Old immortal, you dare use dragon flame in front of young master? Today, let me show you what real dragon flame is!" Chu Linfeng shouted loudly, and with a thought, a massive dragon’s roar emanated from his mouth, and a golden dragon appeared in front of the Beast King.
