Chapter 1054: Chapter 69 Hades Trilogy_3
Ah Dai gasped for breath continuously. Although the Sword of Hades had been sheathed, the rebounding Evil Aura kept devouring his body. His will was becoming increasingly blurry. The Silver Body in his Dantian was enveloped in a faint gray mist. Why? Why was this happening? Didn’t his master say that with his current abilities, he should be able to use the Hades Sword Technique four times? But why was he almost unable to withstand the backlash after only three moves? No, he absolutely couldn’t let the Evil Aura take control. "No—," Ah Dai’s heart was filled with fear. He knew all too well what would happen if the Sword of Hades took control of his body. The Guardian Ring on his left hand lit up, and a surging Sacred Aura flowed along his arm into his body, rapidly moisturizing his meridians and dispersing the Evil Aura around the Silver Body, protecting the source of his energy. Suddenly, Ah Dai noticed a slight tremble in the second Golden Body at his chest. The Evil Aura that surrounded it was violently shaken off, and a thread-like strand of True Qi flowed downwards, connecting with the Silver Body. Ah Dai suddenly felt an explosive Energy burst within him. With a puff, he couldn’t help but throw his arms wide open, and a thick layer of gray mist was forced out of his body. The Dragon’s Blood at his chest lit up, absorbing the gray mist. Ah Dai collapsed onto the ground, panting nonstop. He clearly felt that to counter the vast Evil Aura, the Silver Body in his Dantian had lost more than half of its Energy, and the connecting Energy of the second Golden Body had also disappeared alongside the dissipating Evil Aura, as if that thread-like fighting spirit had never existed. Despite this, Ah Dai’s heart was still inexplicably excited; at least he had killed his most hated enemy. Unfortunately, the Catwoman had escaped. After a long moment, Ah Dai let out a long sigh and slowly stood up, touching the Sword of Hades at his chest. Its overwhelming Evil Power was truly a double-edged sword. While powerful, it also posed a great danger. Looking at the corpses and zombies around him, Ah Dai showed no sign of sadness. He felt a sense of ease in his chest. Approaching Horton’s mummified corpse, Ah Dai took out Bing’s portrait and faced it towards the mummy. "Bing, do you see? I have killed Horton for you, the beast who ruined your life. He can no longer harm the world. Rest assured, I will not let the Catwoman who severely injured you get away either. The next time we meet will be her end." Ah Dai gently caressed the portrait, feeling as if Bing was smiling somehow, the oppression in his heart dissipated. Ah Dai stretched out his right hand, and under his control, yellow Energy threads continuously etched onto the walls of the City Lord’s Mansion, leaving two large characters, one meter in diameter, clearly imprinted—Grim Reaper. Looking at his masterpiece, Ah Dai gave a cold smile. All you Dark Forces, just wait for the arrival of the Grim Reaper. I will let each of you be buried under my Sword of Hades, the most evil weapon in the world. Carefully putting away Bing’s portrait, Ah Dai unfurled his body and floated over the walls, leaving the lifeless Dark City Lord’s Mansion.
The incident at the City Lord’s Mansion wasn’t discovered until the next day. When the mummified corpses were found, everyone was stunned; the word "Grim Reaper" on the wall deeply shocked every soul. People learned from the surviving maids of the Dark Wealth Nightclub that this "Grim Reaper" was the one who annihilated both the Dark Wealth Nightclub and the entire City Lord’s household. Naturally, they associated this with the golden glow from the night before. The news spread quickly through the streets and alleys, and the name Grim Reaper was deeply branded in the hearts of the Dark City’s people. They began to panic; those engaged in dark professions restrained themselves, trembling with fear and not daring to commit evil deeds. They were afraid that they might be the Grim Reaper’s next target. In their minds, he was not a man anymore but a God Palace sent from the heavens. Only when the church intervened, using its vast influence, did the situation gradually calm down, but the name Grim Reaper would not be forgotten. On the contrary, those oppressed by the Dark Forces rejoiced secretly. Without the oppression of the Dark City Lord’s Mansion’s people, their lives returned to normal. They even prayed for and looked forward to the Grim Reaper’s return.
...
In the woods, Yan Shi and the Fairy anxiously waited. Ah Dai had been gone for a long time. A hint of dawn began to appear in the distant sky, the dark sky gradually turning deep blue. Dawn was approaching, but Ah Dai had not yet returned. Yan Li wanted to go to the Dark City to find Ah Dai several times, but Yan Shi stopped him every time. He understood that all they could do now was wait—wait for Ah Dai’s return.
A ghostly figure appeared in the direction of the rising dawn. The black shadow moved with lightning speed toward the woods. The Yan brothers nervously drew their weapons, having become jumpy because of everything they had been through in the Dark City. The Fairy’s spiritual power had not fully recovered, but she still recited an attacking Elf Spell. Several vines broke through the ground, crawling in front of the trio, ready to attack the approaching shadow if it was hostile.
The figure swiftly drew nearer and, at last, illuminated by the dawn light, Yan Shi saw clearly that the approaching figure was Ah Dai, who had gone to the Dark City. He was wrapped in Full Armor made from Giant Spirit Snake Leather, quickly drawing closer. Although he was somewhat pale, his spirit seemed to be extremely excited. "Ah Dai—" the Yan brothers shouted in unison.
