Chapter 2437: Chapter 2426: Hall of Mutual Slaughter
Although the cultivators’ spiritual energy can strangle the heart-devouring insects that burrow into their bodies, the number of heart-devouring insects is far too many—hundreds to possibly thousands—and they continuously invade.
The cultivators present are at least at the Half-step Divine Venerable level, yet they can’t kill the heart-devouring insects that burrow inside them in time.
The heart-devouring insects are madly crawling toward the cultivators’ hearts.
When they climb onto the cultivators’ hearts, they use their sharp teeth to crazily devour the cultivators’ hearts.
After devouring the cultivators’ hearts completely.
The heart-devouring insects burst through the cultivators’ chest flesh and skin from within, quickly emerging from their chests.
After drilling out from their chests, these heart-devouring insects leap up and burrow again into the bodies of other cultivators.
The Ghost Venerable emits a blood-red spiritual energy, which envelops and swirls around him.
This blood-red spiritual energy is filled with endless killing intent and a bloody aura, so the heart-devouring insects falling from above dare not approach, endeavoring to stay far away from the Ghost Venerable. Only a few unavoidable heart-devouring insects approach, but the Ghost Venerable can handle them easily.
This Ghost Venerable indeed has some skill.
Ye Chenfeng, wrapped in Green Flame, did not expect the Ice-Fire Blue Flame belonged to the Ghost Venerable.
He can’t afford too many concerns now. Protected by Green Flame, the heart-devouring insects can’t harm even a hair on him.
He does not wish to linger here any longer.
Ye Chenfeng immediately heads towards the top in mid-air, and the heart-devouring insects falling from the top are quickly dissolved by the Green Flame enveloping Ye Chenfeng.
Directly pressing the stone brick at the top.
Upon pressing the stone brick.
The stone wall on the left side of the bottom passage moved away.
Ye Chenfeng swiftly slipped into the newly opened stone wall, completely ignoring the dense swarm of heart-devouring insects under the protection of Green Flame.
After entering the opened stone wall.
Ye Chenfeng arrived at a sinister hall filled with evil qi.
This hall was different from the previous True Fire Hall, giving an uncomfortable feeling to anyone inside.
The stone walls and floor around the hall depicted terrifying and bloody scenes, making one feel as if they were in Hell.
At the very front in the middle of the hall, a plaque hung high with the three large characters "Hall of Mutual Killing" written on it.
Not long after Ye Chenfeng stepped into the hall.
The Ghost Venerable also entered somewhat awkwardly, his gaze fixated once more on Ye Chenfeng.
Though Ye Chenfeng exuded an aura at the Mid Divine King Realm, to the Ghost Venerable with Early Divine Venerable Realm strength, Ye Chenfeng was insignificant.
With a voice laden with malice, the Ghost Venerable spoke, "Kid, shouldn’t we settle the score between us now? Hand over your Heaven and Earth Flame willingly, and perhaps I’ll let you die easily."
Ye Chenfeng didn’t regard the Ghost Venerable too seriously, as with his current strength and mastery over the Black Lock of Sword Soul, defeating the Ghost Venerable shouldn’t pose much issue.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng completely ignoring him fueled the Ghost Venerable’s anger even more.
Suddenly.
The floor of the Hall of Mutual Killing began to shake without warning.
Moreover, the shaking grew increasingly vigorous; Ye Chenfeng and the Ghost Venerable both narrowed their eyes, feeling the entire hall was moving upwards, and originally, it should have been underground.
The hall kept trembling.
Light poured in from the door and windows within.
Through the hall’s open door, Ye Chenfeng and the Ghost Venerable could now see the outside scenery—the area outside the door was originally pitch black, now revealed to be a plaza.
Numerous cultivators struggled on the plaza, while fiery red stones continued falling from the sky.
It was the same plaza they entered earlier.
The Hall of Mutual Killing had actually emerged from beneath the plaza.
Yet, the fire-red stone figures on the plaza seemed unable to see the hall, with not a single figure stepping into it.
The struggling cultivators and those continually entering, upon realizing this, swiftly moved towards the Hall of Mutual Killing.
The number of cultivators inside the hall continued to grow.
Ye Chenfeng noticed two familiar figures amongst them, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong from the Medicine Saint Hall.
Upon learning about the changes from Wind Sword Palace, they utilized the teleportation array to arrive here, hence their rapid appearance.
When Ye Chenfeng saw Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, naturally, they also saw Ye Chenfeng. Despite their hearts being filled with anger toward him, they had received the highest order from the Wus, prohibiting them from acting against Ye Chenfeng—instead, they were commanded to treat him with utmost respect.
Chang Baiwu approached Ye Chenfeng, with a polite smile saying, "Friend Ye, you are here as well!"
The Ghost Venerable, who initially intended to act against Ye Chenfeng, seeing so many cultivators entering the hall, and Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong approaching Ye Chenfeng—his figure quietly retreated into a corner.
As more cultivators entered the Hall of Mutual Killing.
Suddenly.
A white light enveloped two cultivators, both at Half-step Divine Venerable levels—they were brothers.
These two Half-step Divine Venerable elders, after being enveloped by the white light.
A voice echoed within the hall, "Hall of Mutual Killing, only entry, no exit."
"When the sacred light envelops two people, only one can leave alive. If no resolution is reached within the time of one incense stick, both will die within the sacred light."
The voice ought to have been planted in the hall long ago, as the influx of people triggered some mechanism revealing the voice.
The two Half-step Divine Venerable elders enveloped in the white light were indeed brothers. Only one could leave alive? Must a resolution be reached within one incense period, forcing mutual slaughter—they simply couldn’t do it.
Upon the voice’s announcement, all cultivators inside the hall fell silent.
The two elders within the sacred light exchanged a glance and attempted to jointly break through the enveloping sacred light.
Yet, regardless of their efforts, they couldn’t break free.
As time steadily passed.
The incense period ended.
Within the white sacred light surged fierce energy, instantly engulfing the two Half-step Divine Venerable elders.
"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds.
Their bodies immediately exploded into two clouds of blood within the sacred light.
Hall of Mutual Killing.
Is this the intent for mutual slaughter?
Little wonder it’s named the Hall of Mutual Killing.
