Chapter 628 Arena

In the sky on the east side of Liangyi Mountain, Hades moved his newly reattached right arm, turned around and said to Ji Wushuang: "You are really good. You were able to reattach the broken arm so quickly that you can't even see the wound."

"You still have to be careful after the connection." Ji Wushuang reminded: "If you use too much force, the wound will split and it may break again..."

"You're such a jinx!" Hades said angrily, "Wait until I find that monster and fully recover. Not only will my broken arm be replaced, my entire body will be reborn. By then..."

Before he could finish his words, Ji Wushuang frowned and suddenly reminded him, "Be careful!"

Pluto looked back and saw the tall butcher monster leaping out from the woods, flying towards him waving a machete!

When Pluto first saw the monster, he was really scared, but when he saw the butcher's actions, he immediately felt relieved.

When one reaches the realm of Yuhua, one's experience and eyesight are extraordinary. One can judge the power of the butcher's attack simply by the speed and movement of his jump.

The previous attack that took off his arm was so fast that neither he nor Ji Wushuang could react. In contrast, now, he jumped over so slowly and the movement of swinging the knife was so weak. It was obvious that the butcher's attack this time was not very powerful, at least it posed no threat to Yuhua.

As the saying goes, I'll kill you when you're weak. Since you can't show your true strength, you're just a sandbag that can recover at any time, so I won't be polite!
Thinking of this, Hades also pulled out a peculiarly shaped scimitar from the treasure box and rushed towards the butcher!

Clang!
The machete and the man-opening device collided, sparks flew, but Pluto felt his strength loosen and found that the rusty machete on the opposite side had flown out of his hand!
Too weak, I didn't even have to use much strength to knock its knife away! Pluto was contemptuous, and he made a knife flower with his hand and stabbed it towards the butcher's collarbone!
The reason why he didn't use much force was that he was afraid of knocking the opponent away and making it difficult to catch him. He used this scimitar because there were three inverted teeth on the back of the blade. With the curvature of the blade itself, it was like a fishhook, and once it pierced into the body, it could not be pulled out!
Since the butcher is unable to exert his strength now, let's take this opportunity to capture him and beat him until he collapses!

However, the knife only penetrated a few centimeters and could not go any further, as if there was a piece of iron wrapped under the skin and flesh... No, even if it was made of iron, with his feather-level strength and legendary weapon, he should be able to cut iron like mud. What on earth is hidden in this monster? !

As Hades was horrified, the butcher suddenly swung up the hook, wrapped Hades with an iron chain, and swung his empty right hand, suddenly grabbing towards Hades' head!

Although the speed was still slow, Pluto instinctively sensed a dangerous aura and subconsciously dodged. The butcher's big hand grabbed his right shoulder, and then clenched his five fingers tightly!
"Ahhhhh!" Hades felt as if his shoulder was clamped by hydraulic pliers. His internal energy and ghost energy collapsed at the touch of a button. His bones and muscles could not withstand such a huge force and were crushed in an instant. Broken bones and flesh were squeezed out from between the butcher's fingers. The entire right arm lost the connection with the shoulder and broke again!

"How could this be? What kind of grip is this?!"

Pluto was horrified and tried to retreat quickly. With his Feathering-level strength, he broke all the chains that were wrapped around him. However, the butcher was unwilling to let her go. He let go of the chains with his left hand and swung it towards him!
The blow was so fast that Pluto couldn't react in time, but it seemed that the accuracy was a little off. Somehow, it hit his thigh. With a "snap" sound, the whole thigh was severed and blood spilled!

"Ahhh!" Hades screamed, and with the help of the pain, he broke free from the chains and quickly retreated. The butcher wanted to grab him again, but was suddenly hit by a red light. The butcher, who had nowhere to catch him in mid-air, was hit by this attack and flew backwards!
"Ayan, are you okay..." Ji Wushuang supported Hades, raised his hand and swung out a long whip, hooking the fallen thigh and right arm, looking at Hades' bloody wounds, with heartache in his eyes.

"Do I look okay?" Hades' lips trembled with pain. "I can be sure that Jiuyou's remains are inside that monster. Just now, my Silver Moon pierced into his body and was blocked by an extremely hard object. That must be Jiuyou's skeleton!"

“But you have been injured like this by him…” Ji Wushuang hesitated and said, “If the Nine Nether Skeleton is really a power above the Immortal Realm, I’m afraid…”

"What are you afraid of!" Hades gritted his teeth and said, "I just figured it out. That monster is not familiar with the Nine Nether Skeleton, and its hands and feet are out of control, so it can only be accurately attacked by close combat. As long as you keep your distance, there is nothing to be afraid of! You are best at long-range combat, you can definitely take it down!"

"But your injury..." Ji Wushuang's mind was still on Pluto.

"Don't worry about me!" Hades gritted his teeth and said, "Give me the medicine and my hands and feet, I will recover by myself, you go and kill it quickly, just use the strongest means to hit it hard, and completely destroy its skin. Don't worry, the Nine Nether Skeleton inside is indestructible!"

Seeing Ji Wushuang still hesitant, Hades pushed her away fiercely: "Go quickly, do you still want me to turn back into a human and return to the main world?!"

After hearing what he said, Ji Wushuang finally made up his mind, nodded, stuffed the healing potion and the severed limbs to Hades, and chased in the direction the butcher flew.

Although he became a saint, Luo Jun did not gain the flying ability like an immortal. Although he was confident that with his current physical strength, he could swim freely in the atmosphere, the problem still existed. With his current control over his body, he could only move freely with the strength of an ordinary person. If he increased his strength, he would be out of control.

So he just let himself fly by inertia and eventually fell into a lake.

"Gululululu..." The high-speed fall made Luo Jun's surrounding full of bubbles. In the process of sinking to the bottom of the lake, the collapsed flesh and blood on his body healed rapidly. Just when it was about to recover, a red light suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake above his head!
It’s Ji Wushuang’s high temperature ray!
Swish!
Wherever the red light passed, the water evaporated at a high speed. The hot rays carried steam all the way and accurately hit Luo Jun, knocking him further to the bottom of the lake!

This was not the end. Ji Wushuang stood above the lake and threw down beams of high-temperature rays one after another. The lake water violently churned and evaporated, with a constant hissing sound. A large amount of fog was formed, which filled the nearby jungle for thousands of meters.

In fact, Zhang Daozhi's two guesses about Ji Wushuang's ability were not wrong. Ji Wushuang's innate ability can both simulate the form of energy it comes into contact with and directly collect and rebound it, depending on the difficulty of the simulation.

If it can be simulated, it would be more convenient to use it without constraints after learning it. However, if you encounter something like Tianshi Jin Guang that cannot be analyzed or simulated, then you can only fight back as it is.

This high-temperature ray was simulated by Ji Wushuang after analyzing many forms of energy. She thought it was the most convenient way of attack.

It is fast, direct, and has almost no upper limit to high temperature. As long as the temperature is high enough, there is no defense that cannot be broken. It can be said to be the most brutal and practical ability!
Under such heavy bombardment, the entire lake was eventually evaporated, and the wet soil was full of cooked fish and shrimp. In the center of the lake bottom, there was a large molten area with a red glow, and in the middle was a bottomless pit. In it was Luo Jun, who had suffered the most attacks.

"I can no longer sense the creepy ghostly aura." Ji Wushuang stood in mid-air, looking at the bottomless abyss that seemed to lead directly to the center of the earth, and guessed: "It should be completely silent... But if I approach rashly, I'm afraid..."

Thinking of this, Ji Wushuang raised his hand and aimed it at the divine pit where magma was still flowing. His palm turned from red to white and emitted a cold breath!

Since it can simulate high temperatures, it can naturally simulate extreme cold. Although the power of Ji Wushuang's cold air is far less than that of the Ice Queen who has also transformed into a feather, it is still easy to freeze the melted soil and lava!

Cold air poured into the cave, and the flowing magma solidified instantly, spreading all the way underground and finally returning to the surface, covering the entire lake bottom with a layer of white frost.

"It should be almost done this time." Ji Wushuang opened the treasure box, took out a necklace and put it around his neck, activating a layer of light blue shield, then took out a glove and put it on his right hand, then took out the shield that had previously blocked Zhang Daozhi's sword attack, put it in front of him, and slowly descended to the bottom of the lake.

Ji Wushuang squatted down slowly while keeping a vigilant posture, and pressed the ground with his gloved right hand, feeling it for a while, and then pressed hard. As his five fingers pressed into the frozen soil, the entire dry lake bottom began to tremble slightly. A moment later, with the bottomless deep hole as the center, the frozen soil around it began to show fine spider web patterns, and then bulged high, and finally a huge black and shiny obsidian block drilled out from the ground!

At this time, Pluto, whose hands and feet had been reattached, landed and looked at the huge rock floating in front of him, which looked like a small mountain. He asked curiously, "What are you doing? Where is that monster?"

Ji Wushuang pointed to the boulder and said, "It's sealed inside."

"Here?" Pluto's eyes revealed a greedy light, and then he asked with lingering fear: "Are you sure it's safe?"

"I listened to you. I used my strongest attack non-stop, and I almost broke through the earth's crust. After high temperature and high pressure, as well as my freezing, this thing has been completely silent." Ji Wushuang controlled the boulder to sit at the bottom of the lake and said, "At least for now, I can no longer feel the fierce aura from before."

"Very good!" Pluto rubbed his hands and walked towards the dark boulder.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Ji Wushuang asked curiously, "This stone is like a building, with a radius of several dozen meters. Can you operate it without digging it up?"

"Dig it up? What if it comes back to life?" Hades snorted coldly, "Don't worry, as long as it calms down on the physical level, I can let it go and operate on the spiritual level!"

As he spoke, Pluto placed his hands on the boulder, and his mental power penetrated it. He soon found the calm and restrained mental power hidden deep in the core.

"It's almost not radiating, and I can't feel any mental fluctuations. It seems that it is indeed completely silent..."

Hades felt relieved and began to perform illusions.

According to his understanding, Jiuyou's spirit and soul were almost destroyed when he was suppressed by the first generation Heavenly Master thousands of years ago, leaving only the most primitive desire for killing. Therefore, although Jiuyou was once a mythical creature, his mental power and soul strength had been greatly weakened. With his means as a Feathered Illusionist, it would not be a problem for him to deal with it.

As long as I can pull this thing into my fantasy, I will let it do whatever it wants. Then I will completely annihilate its last bit of soul and the remaining entity will be delicious power!

"Completely unprepared. Very good, very good..." Pluto began to make arrangements carefully, and finally after a series of operations, he successfully created an illusion tailor-made for the remains of Jiuyou.

This is a huge circular arena. The surrounding stands are filled with muscular, fully armed spectators. In the very center of the arena, there are four iron pillars, each with an iron chain. The chains are connected to the limbs of a huge skeleton monster. The monster is roaring angrily and struggling constantly, causing the chains to rattle.

This monster was obviously Jiuyou, but in the illusion, its power seemed to have been weakened, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape.

Seeing the ferocious Jiuyou, there were exclamations from the audience. Finally, a man stood up on the podium. He looked like Hades.

"Welcome everyone to the ultimate arena!" Pluto's call was responded to by hundreds of people in this arena, and thunderous cheers came from the audience seats.

"Today, our arena welcomed a legendary monster, the Nine Nether Skeleton! So, do we have any warriors who dare to challenge it?"

The strong men in the audience signed up one after another, and soon, four people were selected and sent to the Colosseum, and the chains that trapped Jiuyou were also untied.

With the sound of a bell, the fight officially began!
The four challengers were all powerful and fully armed warriors. They rushed towards the wreckage of Jiuyou at the beginning, but their bravery did not bring victory. Jiuyou roared and rushed back, hitting them one by one with his claws, leaving four corpses on the field in an instant.

However, this was also within Pluto's expectations. Soon, the second group of four people also appeared, but they did not do better than their predecessors and were still killed instantly.

However, the bloody scene on the field did not scare off the applicants behind. Instead, it aroused their fighting spirit! In this way, batches of challengers walked onto the arena and fell in front of the remains of Jiuyou one after another.

As for Hades, he sat in the highest VIP seat, hugging two beauties created from an illusion, eating the delicacies brought by his servants, and watching all this happily.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is that monster..." A beautiful concubine snuggled in the arms of Hades and asked, pointing at the Nine Nether Skeletons on the field.

"That's a monster I caught from far away." Hades laughed and said, "It's very difficult to deal with. Guess how many warriors it will take to kill it?"

The two concubines laughed and said, "How could we have guessed... There are so many warriors in our empire, all of whom are loyal to your majesty, and they will get rid of this monster sooner or later."

At this time, the servant who was serving the food flattered: "If you ask me, no matter how many warriors you have, it is not enough. In the end, it was your Majesty who had to do it himself to subdue such a terrible monster!"

Pluto laughed out loud and was in a good mood when he heard this.

They have the ability to make dreams come true, which is what the illusionists envy the most. When they reach the peak or even the realm of metamorphosis, the illusions they create become more complex and vivid. Each NPC seems to be a real person with life, and will respond reasonably to external information according to the basic settings made by the constructor.

In short, it has transformed from a game NPC to an AI assistant.

Of course, Hades constructed this illusion not just for his own enjoyment. His real purpose was to rely on a steady stream of warriors to consume the souls of the Nine Nether Remains.

If it were an intelligent creature, it would definitely not be so foolish as to fight a series of battles in the ring. However, the Nine Nether Remains, whose intelligence is similar to that of wild beasts, are very easy to be induced. In this way, they waste their souls in rounds of battles.

Hades sat in the stands, enjoying himself while paying attention to the condition of Jiuyou's remains. When they were almost worn out, he would go down to harvest them himself and devour their souls to nourish his own mental strength!
I want all of Jiuyou's mental strength and spiritual power!
