304: Chapter 304: Accidentally Entering 304: Chapter 304: Accidentally Entering “Haha, Nightmare, as a capable general of Hades, you were injured and captured by Refining Mo; they surely won’t let this slide easily.
Therefore, rather than waiting for death, it’s better to take the initiative to strike.” Illusion Fox looked into Nightmare’s eyes with profound aning, and her frail deanor couldn’t hide the rage within.
“Bastard.” Nightmare hissed with exhaustion.
“It won’t be long before they co.
Guess what awaits them.” Illusion Fox’s words carried a playful tone.
“If they have even a scratch, I will never let you go.” Nightmare cursed.
“Star Lian, I am doing this for you.
Refining Mo promised that as long as the people of Netherworld Palace are eliminated, he will spare you and forgive past grievances, allowing you to rejoin the Tomb Spirit Organization.
Then, we can be together again.” Illusion Fox’s smile was a bit morbid, even referring to him as Star Lian, as the scene from five years ago once again surfaced in her mind.
After Illusion Fox left, Nightmare’s body slumped powerlessly; Refining Mo had sealed five key acupoints near his Dantian, making it impossible for him to use his Inner Strength, and his body, due to severe injuries, couldn’t muster any strength at all.
“Great, my lord, let’s hurry and rescue them,” Demoness drew her Soft Sword, still as impulsive as ever, not just because of her personality, but also because Nightmare had finally sent a ssage.
“But how could Nightmare have had the chance to send a ssage?
Could this be a trap?” Soul Destroyer thought for a mont and expressed his worries.
“The Tomb Spirit Organization is infamous for their cunning sches.
Could this be a ploy to lure us into a rescue and then deal us a devastating blow?”
“Soul Destroyer, what are you talking about?
I know you and Nightmare don’t exactly get along, but now is a critical mont—you…”
As the two in front of him continued to argue, Ye Shikai’s mind beca a tangled ss.
Whether to strike quickly or to deliberate, if Nightmare had truly found a hard-won opportunity to inform them, it would be a pity to hesitate and miss the chance.
But if this were a trap set by the enemy, rushing in recklessly could lead to dire losses.
Ailina also joined the argunt between the two, which was essentially over disagreents in opinions, and the only relatively calm one present was the innocent-looking Zi Yun.
“Everyone, be quiet.” Ye Shikai shouted, and imdiately the room fell into a deathly silence, with the three arguing people looking at each other, unsure of what to say.
“Nightmare was captured because he was carrying out my task; I must go rescue him.
Demoness, you and I will infiltrate first.
If anything goes wrong, Soul Destroyer and Ailina will adapt accordingly.” Ye Shikai commanded, “My mind is made up; no more discussion.”
“My lord, let be in your team,” Ailina whispered secretly during the preparation.
“No, we don’t know the full strength of the Tomb Spirit Organization yet, and you might not be able to handle it, let Demoness co with .” Ye Shikai refused.
“But…” Ailina stopped mid-sentence, clutching her whip tightly, biting her teeth in evident reluctance.
Ye Shikai’s decision was rational; he didn’t want anyone else to get hurt.
“Brother, co here for a sec.” Just as Ye Shikai was about to leave, Zi Yun scurried over, beckoning him with a hook of her finger.
“What are you doing, all secretive?” Ye Shikai asked curiously.
“Here, take this.” Zi Yun opened her palm and stuffed sothing into Ye Shikai’s hand.
“This, what’s it for?”
“Hee hee, let tell you secretly.” Zi Yun smiled, stood on tiptoes, brought her head close to Ye Shikai’s ear, and whispered.
…
The four quickly arrived at the location indicated by the red dot on their GPS.
“Lord, where exactly is Nightmare?” Demoness looked around; this was an old district scheduled for demolition, with houses that were at least decades old.
“The position is accurate within ten ters.
Let’s look around this area,” Ye Shikai said as he put away his phone and started searching for an entrance nearby.
“Lord, look here.” Suddenly, Demoness shouted, flipped through a pile of dead wood, and an entrance appeared before them.
Ye Shikai placed his hand on the doorknob, and a repelling force suddenly bounced his hand off.
“This design must be to prevent intruders; it must be the work of a cultivator,” observed Ye Shikai as he examined the doorknob and casually remarked.
This all but confird that Nightmare was imprisoned here.
He released a powerful surge of Inner Strength from his palm, directly shaking the doorknob open.
“Nightmare, where are you?” It was pitch-black inside the house.
Demoness shouted loudly.
Ye Shikai followed the wall and found sothing like a switch, flipped it with force, and the lights above suddenly turned on, illuminating the entire room.
“Nightmare, you’re here!” Demoness looked around and saw, not far away on a wooden rack, Nightmare’s body was hanging.
She rushed over, forcibly broke the handcuffs, and embraced Nightmare in her arms.
“Nightmare, are you okay?” Ye Shikai also hurried over and quickly discovered that his acupoints were sealed.
He promptly infused Inner Strength into Nightmare’s body, breaking the shackles on his acupoints.
However, Nightmare’s body was very weak, and he had sustained serious injuries; he needed to be treated imdiately.
“Lord, we must leave, this is…
a trap.” Ye Shikai slapped Nightmare’s face, and after a few seconds, his heavy eyelids slowly opened.
Nightmare had just woken up, already on his last breath, and after uttering those words, he quickly passed out again.
“Bang.” Suddenly, the door was slamd shut.
There were no windows around, just this one exit.
“Hades, you really ca, haha.” At this ti, a person walked over from around the corner.
Although he had not t him many tis, Ye Shikai would never forget that voice—it was Refining Mo.
“Refining Mo, you hard my brother; I will have you dead.” Ye Shikai was furious, channeling Inner Strength into his right hand.
“Breaking Sky Fist.” Ye Shikai shouted loudly, took a quick step forward, and swung his right fist, transforming it into a palm strike that fiercely smashed towards Refining Mo.
“Bang.” Refining Mo blocked the punch with his palms calmly.
Both retreated several steps, ending the first round in a draw.
“You’ve improved quite a bit,” Refining Mo comnted, looking at his palms as if reminiscent, then his face twisted savagely, “Sadly, you were too careless today, otherwise I really wouldn’t be sure of winning.”
As soon as he finished speaking, hissing sounds ca from the walls around them, and white smoke was sprayed out, quickly spreading into the air.
“Lord, my head is so dizzy.” Demoness rested one hand on Ye Shikai’s shoulder and vigorously rubbed her temples, as an intense wave of dizziness stabbed into her brain.
Ye Shikai tried his best to stay upright and not fall, but contrary to his wishes, the dizziness beca stronger, and his body gradually weakened.
“Bang.” Both of them fell onto the ground.
