Chapter 2200: Questioning His Ghost Life

Zhao Han took a deep breath and suppressed his urge to argue back. He said gravely, “Since we are all victims, we should join hands to get revenge, rather than starting conflict among ourselves and letting our enemy laugh at us.”

The late Fiend Emperor and the Dragon King immediately widened their eyes. They looked at him with disbelief. They had thought that this guy would at least retort a few times, but he actually just admitted to it? Now, all of the words they had been about to say had to be swallowed back down.

Furthermore, Zhao Han had lived his life as the world’s strongest, yielding to none. And yet, someone like that was actually inviting the two of them to work together? In that instant, the late Fiend Emperor and Dragon King even felt a bit overwhelmed by the favor.

The late Fiend Emperor said with an embarra.s.sed chuckle, “It is just a trifling junior; how could he be worthy of all three of us working together to fight him? Since Brother Zhao has the deepest grudge with him, it would be best if brother Zhao has the honor. We’ll help you bring up the rear so that no one else can disturb the two of you.”

The Dragon King shot him a sidelong look. “What are you trying to say? Who else is here other than me?”

The late Fiend Emperor harrumphed. “I wasn’t even talking about you, so what are you panicking for?”

In the past, he had only lost to Zu An in a place that was especially rich in spiritual essence. This underworld environment definitely couldn't handle that ridiculous ability’s activation again. Besides, this time, Zu An didn’t have those women supplying him with cultivation energy, so killing him was easy enough. It was actually Zhao Han who was the biggest problem.

Zhao Han immediately saw through his intentions and said with a cold snort, “Fiend Emperor, your information really is too lacking. Do you even know how I died?”

“Wasn’t it because you fell into some secret dungeon, and then King Qi and the late lbationer worked together to take you down with them?” After he said those words, the Dragon King’s expression suddenly changed. “Don’t tell me that you were killed by this guy?”

“That’s right.” Zhao Han stared at Zu An, gritting his teeth.

You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +444 +444 +444…

The late Fiend Emperor frowned. “Did he scheme against you while you were seriously injured from your fight against King Qi and the libationer?”

“Even though he did take advantage of my injuries and used all sorts of other tricks, his current self is entirely different from back then. Additionally, a few days ago, I exchanged some blows with him in the human world. This time, it was a fair fight, and yet I was still defeated by him,” Zhao Han said, his expression grave.

The late Fiend Emperor and the Dragon King’s expressions changed. “How many moves did it take for you to lose?”

“One.” Zhao Han’s expression remained completely calm.

“What?!” The Dragon King’s jaw almost dropped to the floor.

“But how?!” The late Fiend Emperor found it even harder to believe. He and Zhao Han had been enemies for decades. They understood each other through and through, and they were evenly matched…

Fine, I’ll admit that Zhao Han was a bit stronger, but it’s at most forty-sixty! And yet someone like this was instantly killed by that brat?

Then wouldn’t Zu An also be able to kill me instantly?

He thought about how Zu An had been no match for him at all and only managed to successfully kill him through all manner of coincidences and tricks, but then realized just how much time had pa.s.sed since then. Despite that, Zu An was able to grow to this extent?

When he saw the late Fiend Emperor’s suspicious expression, Zhao Han raised three fingers. “I vow to the Yin Mountain and Naihe Oblivion River that I was defeated by Zu An in a single move not long ago. If this is a lie, send me to the Continuous h.e.l.l!”

He understood fully well that earlier, Zu An had borrowed the endless draconic power of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, as well as his skill that could restrain departed spirits. Still, there was no Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons now and Zu An was also in soul form himself, which meant he probably couldn't use that special skill. Thus, Zhao Han was confident he could win if they fought again. Even so, he wouldn’t explain such things to the other two. It’d be better if they worked together to get rid of this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d. In comparison, he knew the late Fiend Emperor and the Dragon King better, so there wouldn’t be so many variables if he fought against them.

When they heard his vow, the late Fiend Emperor and the Dragon King immediately believed him. After experiencing the tortures of h.e.l.l, they knew just what kind of place the Continuous h.e.l.l was. Not even the most wicked people would dare to go there.

The three tacitly began to surround Zu An. They no longer looked down on him like before; instead, they focused on getting rid of this most powerful enemy first.

However, the late Fiend Emperor was secretly scheming, thinking that once Zu An was gone, Zhao Han would be the strongest. For better or for worse, he and the Dragon King were old friends and would be fine facing Zhao Han together. Once they got rid of Zhao Han, he wouldn’t lose to the Dragon King.

It seems the Netherworld Book of Life and Death is mine!

The Dragon King was also thinking.

I'm the weakest out of the three here and pose the least threat. That’s why once I get rid of Zu An, Zhao Han and the Fiend Emperor will definitely want to eliminate each other first. I'll just wait to swoop in and reap all the benefits at the last moment.

The Netherworld Book of Life and Death is mine!

…

Meanwhile, Zu An was feeling frustrated that all three were grouping up against him. As the saying went, the character for l.u.s.t (色) had a blade (刀) hanging above it after all! He just hadn’t expected retribution to happen so quickly.

He looked at the Dragon King and made a last-ditch effort. “Dragon King, don’t forget who it was that killed you. Even if I really had something going on with Hongyu, for better or for worse, I helped you get revenge, which should mean those things cancel each other out. Meanwhile, Zhao Han colluded with the alien monsters to destroy this world. Could it be that you really want the Ocean races to fall into the hands of the aliens?”

He also looked at the late Fiend Emperor when he said that, clearly implying that the latter had to think of the greater situation.

Zhao Han said with a sneer, “What is so bad about an alien world coming in? Our world is just far too weak. That is why we were always trapped at the earth immortal rank and couldn't improve at all. If a new world merges with ours, the source of our world will become stronger, and we can also become stronger then. That is what people like us seek.”

Zu An said gravely, “If that happened, countless ordinary civilians and cultivators would be devoured by the alien monsters. The people would drown in a sea of misery. Do you not understand the price?”

“The success of one general is built on the withered bones of thousands; that is an ancient principle,” Zhao Han said with a sneer. “Besides, I've already died. Why would I care about the world ending when I'm already dead?!”

The late Fiend Emperor nodded in deep agreement.

As expected of my old enemy, whom I’ve faced all my life. His thoughts are completely in line with mine.

The Dragon King, whose relationship with Zu An was comparatively better out of the three, said, “The Skin-Flaying… Zhao Han did collude with the aliens to scheme against me, but now that I have already died, it is meaningless to think about those things now. It is the authority of the underworld that is more important. As long as the Netherworld Book of Life and Death can be obtained, we will naturally be able to protect our world.”

Zu An was speechless.

He didn’t even care about getting revenge on the one who killed him? So why do these guys still care so much about having their wives stolen?!

“Stop wasting time with nonsense. Just show me your skills if you have them!” Zhao Han yelled.

He was a bit afraid of Zu An’s slick tongue, and was worried that something could really happen if he allowed him to continue talking. As such, he made the first move. He knew that if he didn’t attack, those two cunning b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, the late Fiend Emperor and the Dragon King, definitely wouldn't.

With a wave of his hand, a ma.s.sive palm slammed down toward Zu An from the sky above. In that instant, s.p.a.ce itself seemed to freeze. Nothing within could escape.

Zu An had seen Zhao Han use this move when he was still weak. It had left him with an unforgettable impression; at the time, he was truly shocked, feeling as if that terrifying power and the spatial restriction were invincible. But now that he had grown to his current level, when he saw it again, his only thought was…

Is that all?

He took a step forward and jumped out of the spatial entrapment.

A huge noise resounded. The giant hand slammed down on the spot where Zu An had just been, leaving behind a handprint that was dozens of meters deep. Its terrifying power made countless souls gasp. They had heard that even this guy’s wife and daughter-in-law were stolen, and a.s.sumed that he was a spineless coward. They hadn’t expected him to be so strong!

The late Fiend Emperor and the Dragon King also shivered.

Zhao Han seems to be even stronger than back then.

But this Zu An really is unfathomable. We really can’t evaluate him the same way as before.

At first, even though they had already seen Zhao Han make a vow, they'd still carried some doubts as to whether Zu An was really that strong. But now, they fully believed it and didn’t dare to show any carelessness.

The late Fiend Emperor harrumphed. A giant pair of wings suddenly unfolded behind him. They swept at Zu An, every single feather containing incomparably powerful sword energy. In the past, these sword energy wings had glowed a brilliant gold, but now that he had become a departed spirit, they were a hazy gray. He had been killed by Zu An’s devastating weapons once, but he'd learned his lesson; this time, he didn’t want to give Zu An the chance to bring those weapons out.

The Tai’e Sword appeared in Zu An’s hand. A streak of resplendent sword energy illuminated the sky, resembling the Milky Way as it instantly erased most of the sword energy fired from the late Fiend Emperor’s wings.

Fortunately, just then, the Dragon King roared. The sound waves formed walls that stopped the sword energy, keeping the late Fiend Emperor from being seriously injured by this exchange. ???ew?b?o???.com

“How?!” The late Fiend Emperor’s hands were dripping with blood. The sword wings were a manifestation of his Golden Crow Technique and weren’t much different from his own wings, so why were they immediately defeated?

Since he was the first one to be killed by Zu An, he was the most shocked out of everyone present. Back then, he had beenseriously injured and Zu An had the support of that special secret dungeon’s dragon veins, which was why Zu An's surprise attack had worked to begin with.

In his mind, he'd always thought that if he was at his strongest, killing this brat Zu An would be as easy as turning his hand. But when he saw this, he immediately began questioning his ghost life.

How did this guy grow so fast?
