Chapter 252

Fan Wu She wielded his sword and tore those little ghosts to pieces. Before the sword energy subsided, he rushed straight towards Mo Shang Cun.

Mo Shang Cun let out a burst of wild laughter. His six arms moved together, grabbed countless little ghosts, and threw them at Fan Wu She. Each one changed into Zong Zi Xiao’s appearance, which was bloody, mutilated, twisted, and inhuman. They were like one Thunderfire Stone after another, exploding their psychological boundaries. That was the cruel past they could not face.

The sword energy was redirected once again. Fan Wu She flew through these illusions quickly, sweeping away fragments of unpleasant memories one by one, leaving a residual shadow of the diffused black death aura right before his eyes.

Mo Shang Cun, the flesh mountain, stood up from the throne and walked step by step towards Fan Wu She. His six arms reached over all at the same time. His action was not fast and a little cumbersome, but he blocked all of Fan Wu She’s route of retreat completely, just like two shells of a giant clam that were closing, trying to wrap up the small bits of sand which accidentally came in.

A silver light suddenly appeared like a shining meteor in the dim stone cave. It quickly swept through, yet its long tail was a string of blood beads. A long blood channel was split open on Mo Shang Cun's arm from the bend of the arm.

Xie Bi An’s sword reached the center and landed on the bend of Mo Shang Cun's knee. He used the force to bounce towards Mo Shang Cun's face, and the Junlan sword directly took those eyes in that long crevice of meat. His eyes contain resentment and hatred. The murderous aura was boiling, even the released spiritual pressure was carrying flames of fury that dashed to the skies. A huge palm slapped down from the top of his head. Xie Bi An did not retreat, but advanced instead. The long sword stabbed the palm firmly. However, this hand did not dodge. He let the Junlan sword pierce through it no matter what, closed his fingers, and grasped Xie Bi An.

Xie Bi An’s body was immediately embraced into the layers of fat. He ruthlessly bit through his fingers and quickly drew a flame spell on that palm. Just when he was about to be squeezed alive by the fat, the palm burst into flames suddenly and he let go painfully.

On the other side, Fan Wu She wielded out several sword energies and slashed at that meat mountain. Almost every stroke was concentrated, yet they did not take any effect. If he was compared to a city wall, he would definitely be the world's first impregnable city. That sword energy, which was enough to destroy gold and break iron, can't cut through the soft and thick meat and it can't be deeply pierced.

The two shuttled back and forth on that meat mountain. As their line of sight was constantly obscured, they got disorientated several times.

Mo Shang Cun gave an order, and all the execution officers attacked and blocked all of their ways one by one. Mo Shang Cun said with a strange smile, "Why does Your Holiness not use the Heavenly Secret Talisman? As long as you use that Heavenly Secret Talisman, even I'll probably have to listen to you.”

Fan Wu She’s pupils gradually became pitch black. The black death aura already encircled him. His sword moves were increasingly ruthless and faster. Mo Shang Cun's body was already bleeding like a torrent, but there was no obvious decline in power.

"Don't fall for his trick." Xie Bi An growled, "He did all this to entice you into using the Heavenly Secret Talisman!"

Hell was full of fierce ghosts. It's like a military camp for Fan Wu She. If he used the Heavenly Secret Talisman here, it would definitely accelerate the Yin energy erosion in Fan Wu She. Once he lost control here, hell could be destroyed. Not only could they not save Lan Chui Han, they might even be buried in the volcano.

"Your Holiness, since today is the end of me, why not let me see that legendary ancient divine treasure?" Mo Shang Cun's body shook fiercely and the earth quaked under his feet along with it. The blood waves rippled in the eye of the formation. For a moment, countless limbs and bleached bones floated out of the blood pool and gradually disappeared again as the waves subsided. No one knew how deep the blood pool was and how many evil things were hidden inside, so no one noticed that an insignificant white shadow flew out from Mo Shang Cun's armpits.

Fan Wu She said coldly: "You don’t deserve the Heavenly Secret Talisman." He and Xie Bi An looked at each other and he suddenly made a strange gesture. Xie Bi An was stunned and his expression became very complicated. After that, he climbed up while stepping on Mo Shang Cun's stomach. The spiritual pressure injected into Ting Mo had made that silver blade emit bursts of a green glow. The ruthless sword style of the Zongxuan sword was released and attacked Mo Shang Cun's head, which was as huge as a car, fiercely.

Xie Bi An followed closely behind him and stepped on the meat mountain from the other side. It seemed that he was going to converge an attack with Fan Wu She from left and right, but his sword path suddenly changed in midair and pounced towards Fan Wu She’s back.

Almost in the same instant, a white shadow shot at Fan Wu She’s back, which was directly met with Xie Bi An's sword energy.

With a scream, that white shadow fell and was caught by Mo Shang Cun's arm in time, but the other arm next to it seemed to have been run over by a huge guillotine. The bone and flesh were cut off neatly.

With a rumble, that arm fell to the ground.

Following the sound of screaming, on top of the meat mountain stood a dry, thin, naked man. His whole body was pale and not a hair was left on his body. The two bulging eyeballs were bluish-gray. Although he was thin, he had firm and lean meat. The lines of his muscles were undulated with distinct lumps. One could also feel the hardness just by looking at it. And he had six arms.

"Indeed, this is your original body." The corners of Fan Wu She's lips were slightly raised, smiling in an evil and perverse way, “The immortal bones, souls and flesh you have consumed for thousands of years had been refined into a spiritual body like this. No wonder you’re not willing to leave the infernal hell."

Xie Bi An felt complicated in his heart. The gesture that Fan Wu She made to him was a secret signal between them as brothers. Since the ambush in Gutuo Town, they invented many secret signals to cooperate with each other during sword practice. That gesture meant "I'll be the bait".

Mo Shang Cun covered his broken arm and said with a chuckle: "I’m not willing to leave the infernal hell. I'm not just greedy for the daily tonic, what I like most is to torture you guys who were insufferably arrogant in life. So what if you’re the Supreme Demon who controlled two ancient divine treasures, tore the Fengdu barrier with your own strength, inflicted serious damage on the Great Emperor Beiyin, and nearly united both the human and ghost worlds? You still had to cry and shout for your big brother like a child in this continuous cruel torture. Hahahahaha-----"

Xie Bi An's wrist trembled lightly. He shook off the blood beads dropping down from the sword, then slowly raised his shoulder and extended his arm with the blade pointed at Mo Shang Cun again.

"My big brother came," Fan Wu She said coldly, "and so is your time of death."

The two of them attacked in unison. The two silver blades were shining together and shot at Mo Shang Cun like arrows.

Mo Shang Cun's meat shield was the first to move, and the remaining five arms swept over at the same time.

The melee resumed.

Mo Shang Cun's body was graceful and agile, and at the same time, he manipulated the bulky but strong meat shield, appearing beside the two people in the form of a surprise attack and sneak attack from time to time. In such a perfect combination of attack and defense, they couldn’t catch Mo Shang Cun momentarily.

And Mo Shang Cun was not as ready to die as he said he was. After luring the two apart, he slid all the way down to the Nine Dragons Formation under the cover of the meat shield and fled in the direction of the stone door.

Fan Wu She sneered. He suddenly held the Shanhe Sheji Map in his hand. With the scroll unfolded, everything in the cave could be seen clearly on it. The stone door in front of Mo Shang Cun's eyes was suddenly wiped out and completely connected into one piece. There was no way out.

Mo Shang Cun was temporarily at a loss. He only felt the killing intent raging behind him. When he turned, Xie Bi An came fiercely with his harsh sword energy mixed with spiritual pressure.

Under the tearing and biting of the sword energy, Mo Shang Cun's five arms were all neatly cut off. His knees went weak and knelt on the ground. The shining white and fleshy meat mountain also collapsed with a bang behind him.

Fan Wu She put away the Shanhe Sheji Map, and Xie Bi An put away his sword. The two looked at each other from a short distance away. Their chests were heaving with force, their breaths were in turmoil, and their hearts were in more turmoil.

The black death aura around Fan Wu She’s body was thickening and thinning suddenly. His eyes were brightening and extinguishing. He seemed to be suppressing it, but also seemed to be releasing it.

Xie Bi An gasped and said dully, "Wu She, calm down."

Fan Wu She lips pursed lightly. His eyes had a trace of struggle. The black blood vessels in his eyes still did not retreat, but he replied, "Okay."

Mo Shang Cun knelt on the ground. Blood was flowing like a torrent from his body, but he still laughed loudly, sinisterly, and arrogantly: "It's really touching. That young kid who cried 'big brother, save me' under torture all day long really brought his big brother here. Unfortunately, was he the one who saved you? He hates you so much and earnestly wishes you to die, so how could he save you? If the Red King hadn't brought you out of the infernal hell, you would be a mindless, wild, and lonely ghost in the several thousand miles of dense forest and mire in Jiuyou!"

Xie Bi An clenched his molars. He wanted to retort but couldn't think of a single word to refute it.

Fan Wu She walked up to Mo Shang Cun step by step and looked at him in a condescending manner, "The first execution officer I met when I came back here was Qi Mo Ke. Do you want to know what happened to him? Do you want to know your endings?"

Mo Shang Cun smiled coldly.

"I carved a Big Dipper Zhengji Binding Demon Formation on his body."

Mo Shang Cun's body trembled, but his expression remained unchanged.

"And you will have a better one naturally." Fan Wu She raised Mo Shang Cun's chin with the blade of his sword, "Where is that living person?"

"What difference does it make if I say it or not?" Mo Shang Cun smiled grimly, "If I don't say it, you will never find him."

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything." Fan Wu She took out the soul-hooking chain and threw out the chain sickle that accurately pierced through Mo Shang Cun's shoulder blade, dragging him towards the black dragon pillar in the blood pool.

"Wait." Xie Bi An stopped him, "We must find Brother Lan first. Don't you forget that this is the purpose of our trip."

Mo Shang Cun's face was twisted with pain, but he still laughed strangely, "Look, your good big brother, your savior is so anxious to run to the most dangerous place in the human and ghost worlds, but not to save you, hahahahaha. You called for a hundred years, and he came, but not for you. Not for you, hahahahahaha----"

"..." Fan Wu She's face became even more gloomy.

"You shut up!" Xie Bi An said dully, "Give him to me. Wuqiongbi can make him talk."

"The purpose of this trip is for Lan Chui Han." Fan Wu She lowered his head and repeated.

"Of course." Xie Bi An frowned, "Have you forgotten?"

"Why?"

"What?"

Fan Wu She slowly raised his head again. His gaze was gloomy. The black blood vessels were extending towards the center of his pupil: "Lan Chui Han was only in hell for a few days, and you couldn't wait to save him, but I was tortured here for a whole hundred years. A hundred years!"

"Wu She, sober up! Don't fall under his spell!"

"You saw everything. You saw how much pain I was in. You saw that I had been waiting for you to save me. Big brother, you saw it." Fan Wu She's gaze drifted a bit, "But the purpose of your trip is not for me. Why didn't you come to save me? Didn’t you come here to save me?!"
