Chapter 1258 – City
An Zheng and the others were not inexperienced kids, and since An Zheng and Monkey had gone to hell before, they were not too worried about City C. After all, it was just an entrance. He had seen the true hell, so how could he be afraid of a city in the mortal world?
But when the warship landed on the ground and saw everything, An Zheng’s heart skipped a beat.
It was very bright, which was unreasonable. As the entire city was shrouded in a thick black mist, it was a spatial turbulence that could tear apart everything in its path. After entering the layer of mist, it actually started to brighten up. This in itself was a very strange thing.
It was an eye that was shining.
The brightness of this world was different from the brightness of the outside world. The brightness here was a light red.
The entire city was shrouded in black. Even the walls were black. On the city wall, some seemingly dead vines were still twisting like giant earthworms that covered the city wall, but they were ten thousand times uglier than earthworms. Aside from the vines on the city wall, there were also some trees that were scattered all over the place. These trees were all from the cracks in the city wall. Under the light red light, they looked likair of oddly-shaped hands.
Even from outside the city, one could easily see the tall tower in the city. It was the tallest building in the entire Fengcheng City, around a hundred meters. A huge red eye was suspended above the tower, constantly looking in all directions.
The light here came from those eyes.
When they looked over, it was as if everyone’s heart had been seen through. There were no secrets. When she saw that eye, the goddess’ expression was very unnatural. She was somewhat annoyed and even angry.
This was because she was sure that under this eye’s gaze, her clothes were nothing more than an illusion.
The city gate was open and the door was broken. The gap was small. Du Shoushou walked over witair of gloves on, because the door was filled with a black sticky substance, it looked like some kind of extremely small insect that was densely packed with rotten corpses.
Du Shoushou’s glove was also a magical equipment, and its grade was not low either. When he pushed open the city gate, he did not mind the black viscous liquid at all, because his gloves were strong enough. But just after pushing open the city gate for a few seconds, Du Shoushou felain in his hand, he immediately took off the glove and threw it away, then realised that his palm was burned.
The liquid had corroded a hole in the glove, but it was still so terrifying. An Zheng did not dare to be negligent, as no one knew if this liquid had any other toxicity. He hurriedly found the Poison dispelling pill and fed it to Du Shoushou, applying the poison.
“I’ll walk in front.”
An Zheng was immune to all poisons, so he walked at the front and asked Du Shoushou for a long blade at the peak of the Golden-Rank to use as a weapon. His Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler was injured and sent back to the ship to be repaired. Right now, he had almost nothing of use to him. When he killed Cheng Yandong, An Zheng blew up everything that was close to exploding.
Fortunately, An Zheng was not unfamiliar with sabers. When he was at Ming Fa Si, An Zheng was used to using the blade. Many literati say that the sword is the weapon and the sword is the ornament. On the battlefield, the usage of knives was much higher than swords.
When the city gate was pushed open, everyone’s eyes were in a trance for a moment. It was as if they could see a monstrous wave of blood rushing out of the city. Du Shoushou subconsciously lifted his hand to block, then realized that it was only an illusion.
However, everyone could feel it.
“It’s a little strange. Everyone be careful.”
An Zheng turned around and was the first to walk in. The Goddess looked at An Zheng indifferently, with some disdain in his eyes. It was as if in her opinion, An Zheng’s strength was so insignificant that he actually dared to walk in front. It was a sign that he was overestimating himself.
The road inside the city gate was still relatively well-preserved, but what surprised people was that there was nothing green here. Whether it was the vines on the city wall or the messy branches, as well as the low trees on both sides of the road in the city, they were all black. Moreover, these plants all seemed to have their own intelligence. They were only sleeping and did not wake up. They slowly swayed, as if they were looking for something in a dream.
Ever since An Zheng and the others appeared, the blood-red eye on the tower had been staring at them. A ray of red light shot out from his eyes and shone onto An Zheng and the others’ bodies. Everyone felt that it was extremely warm, as if it wasn’t dangerous at all.
“What’s that?”
Du Shoushou lowered his head and looked at his hands. From the places where his hands were wrapped in gauze, faint black colored blood seeped out.
“Eye of Hell.”
Although Monkey had never been to Fengcheng before, he still had some understanding of the situation there. For some reason, the white-bearded old man refused to follow them in and stayed on the warship outside. It was as though this fellow knew of the dangers in this place and did not dare to enter.
“Eye of Hell?”
Du Shoushou asked, “Is it the eyes of the ruler of hell when he looks at the human world?”
“No.”
As Monkey walked, he said, “Wouldn’t the Chief Sovereign of Hell’s eyes be like a blind person in Zero City? The chaotic space outside is so chaotic that even the eyes can’t see through it. The Eye of Hell is actually that door... Open the door of hell. Legend has it that only living people who have obtained the approval of the Eye of Hell can enter Hell. ”
“What if he isn’t acknowledged?”
Du Shoushou continued to ask, and felt an itch in his palms.
Monkey said, “I don’t know about that. After all, I’ve never been to Fengcheng before. It’s just a legend. Maybe no one really knows what’s going on. ”
Du Shoushou snorted: “It’s most likely a trick … Speaking of which, since the immortal palace had such strict requirements for governance, why would they allow a place like Yu City to exist? If I were a member of the Immortal Palace, this place would’ve been blocked off long ago. ”
“I can’t.”
Monkey said, “This was left behind from the unparalleled great war back then. Even the current Immortal Emperor level experts have no way of stopping it. If they wanted the Fengcheng to disappear, it would cause the hell to disappear along with them … It was like a ball of flesh growing between two people, connecting their bodies together. If we forcefully cut off this ball of meat, then both of us will die. ”
“The Mortal Realm and the Infernal Realm are these two. The City of O is this meatball.”
Du Shoushou nodded, “So that’s how it is … However, after walking for so long, he didn’t see anything. Are we really going to climb up the tower and ask that eye if you want us to go in? ”
Chen Shaobai said: “No matter what that old fellow says, he won’t come in. He must know what to do.”
He turned around and saw An Zheng standing by the side of the road, somewhat stunned. No one noticed that An Zheng, who was obviously walking in front, had suddenly gone to the back.
“An Zheng!”
Du Shoushou called out, and quickly went over to call him, but An Zheng did not answer him, he only stood there foolishly with his back facing Du Shoushou. Du Shoushou felt that something was wrong and reached out to grab An Zheng’s shoulder. The moment An Zheng turned around, he screamed in fear.
They were An Zheng’s men, but they did not have An Zheng’s face.
There was nothing on his face. There was no change in his facial features. It was only half a circle. Du Shoushou retreated in shock, and when he turned his head to “look” at him, a terrifying aura immediately pervaded the air.
“What are you guys doing!”
Suddenly, An Zheng’s voice came from the front, causing everyone to wake up and look forward, only to see An Zheng standing right in front of them on the road, looking back at them. When they turned back, An Zheng had disappeared. It was as if he had never appeared.
“Illusion?”
Chen Shaobai pulled Du Shoushou and pulled him back, and discovered that Du Shoushou’s body was extremely cold.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Chen Shaobai immediately asked.
Du Shoushou laughed: “I’ve been scared, I’m fine … “This is such a crappy place, f * cking …”
Before he could finish, Du Shoushou fell to the ground and lost consciousness. A faint black Qi floated over like mice that had smelled food, and quickly condensed into a ball around Du Shoushou.
“Scram!”
A female disciple from East China Sea Yaochi walked over and casually waved her hand. A golden light sprinkled out, and the black gas instantly dissipated. The golden light had broken through the black gas, making it seem as though it was a natural predator that caused it to feel fear. The female disciple looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She looked very delicate and pretty, but she also had the kind of cold arrogance unique to the East China Sea Yaochi Divine Clan. She squatted down beside Du Shoushou to take a look, then said silently: “Being infected by the death aura, there’s no saving you.”
“Go away!”
Chen Shaobai shouted, he squatted down and carried Du Shoushou: “An Zheng, let’s go, we have to save the fatty first.”
He called out and turned around, only to find that there was no one around him. Even the East China Sea Yaochi female disciple who had previously seen Du Shoushou’s name, An Zheng, was gone, let alone the An Zheng who was even further away. However, Chen Shaobai was sure enough, after Du Shoushou fell, he rushed over, he felt that An Zheng was standing right beside him.
There did not seem to be any change in Fengcheng. That red eye continued to look in his direction, and a faint red light shone down. Other than the Du Shoushou in his arms, he felt that even he himself had become unreal.
“Where are you?!”
Chen Shaobai screamed once... He suddenly realized what Du Shoushou felt when the warship passed through the black fog and they were playing tricks on Du Shoushou. Fear, worry, all negative emotions surged out.
“What the hell is going on!”
Chen Shaobai carried Du Shoushou and looked around, but saw nothing.
“Don’t fucking play! “It’s not fun at all!”
Chen Shaobai roared loudly, but no one replied him. It was as if An Zheng and the others had never entered before, and only he and Du Shoushou entered this place. The black aura that Huan Wan had dispersed earlier gathered together once again, and revolved around Chen Shaobai’s incessant swirls. Inside the black aura, Chen Shaobai could vaguely see the sinister looking faces of those many people. The pitch-black, sinister looking pupils were firmly staring at Du Shoushou, who was in his embrace.
“No one can take him away, no one can!”
Chen Shaobai roared loudly, his eyes turning red, as though he was a mad ancient beast.
However, the black gas wasn’t afraid of him at all, as more and more of it gathered here. Gradually, even the sky seemed to have darkened … When the Eye of Hell turned away from them, the world was pitch black. Countless voices resounded in the surroundings. It was as though tens of thousands of people were whispering to each other …
