Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#365 - Chapter 364 Alone

Whoosh—

Accompanied by a harsh dragging and scraping sound, a massive object emerged from the spatial rift.

"That is…"

Takashi Mei's pupils dilated sharply, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Standing before the rift, Li Chenqiu exerted force with his arm, pulling the enormous object further out.

This time, everyone could see it clearly.

Gruesome facial features pressed against each other, twisted limbs and torsos overlapping chaotically, fresh red blood acting like glue, binding these corpses together.

Hundreds of vines bound them from the outside, like a narrow cylindrical prison, suffocating and despairing, the arms reaching out from the gaps as if begging for help from those outside the cage.

But they were already dead, dead in the snow mountain.

Thump, thump…

The scene was extremely quiet, except for the harsh dragging sound, only the closely intertwined heartbeats remained.

The foul stench of blood lingered in everyone's nostrils with the cold wind, the visually impactful scene tugging at everyone's nerves.

Some soldiers with lower tolerance knelt directly on the ground, retching violently.

The soldiers who could barely stand were not much better, each pale with fright, retreating backward without receiving orders.

The superiors they once had to treat with utmost respect were now tied together in groups like livestock, being dragged around arbitrarily in an ugly state.

No one could calmly look at all this, not even the veterans who had experienced many battles.

In an instant, everyone's eyes towards Li Chenqiu changed, from the initial contempt and doubt to a fear that almost solidified!

"They're all dead, how is this possible?!"

"Isn't the restriction limit of the alien space ten Forbidden, how could a dozen ten Forbidden Heavenly Chosen gathered together…"

"Nakamura Taniichi!"

Takashi Mei's horrified gaze froze on a certain spot, a floral shirt that had been torn to shreds.

"Everyone, if you have any questions, you can speak Northern Federation language or the international common language," Li Chenqiu spread his hands, calmly looking around, while fiercely complaining in his heart to the underworld:

"Are you kidding me? Where's the promised reception? Not a single person is coming? I'm so confused, I actually believed Xiang Nanzhi's nonsense!"

"Stall for time, if no one comes, then I can only rely on myself!" Li Chenqiu thought to himself, gripping the vines even harder.

"Want to ask?" Takashi Mei took a step forward, her turbid eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and shouted sharply: "I only want you to die!!!"

As Takashi Mei raised her cane to attack, she was unexpectedly stopped by the black-robed man.

"Lord, you…"

The black-robed man said without allowing refusal: "It's not too late to ask before killing."

Hearing this, Takashi Mei reluctantly gritted her teeth and retreated.

Seeing this scene, Li Chenqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you from the Northern Federation?"

The black-robed man asked in standard Federation common language, and intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction of Yang Luhe and others.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Chenqiu shook his head and chuckled: "Half, I guess, after all, the Northern Federation won't recognize me."

Yang Luhe frowned and said: "Half what do you mean?"

Li Chenqiu smiled without saying a word, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

The next second, an icy blue bloomed in his eyes, replacing his deep black pupils, and the strands of hair swaying in the wind were swallowed by snowflakes, pure white as snow hair swirling around his ears.

Bone-chilling cold spread out, and a layer of thin ice spread out from under his feet.

The soldiers standing in front had not yet reacted when they were frozen to death by the soul-reaching chill, falling straight to the ground.

Thump!

Takashi Mei raised her cane and slammed it down heavily, the invisible wave spreading out, suppressing Li Chenqiu's icy hell back.

"That's amazing!" Li Chenqiu smiled, then bowed slightly: "Let me introduce myself, the Tenth Yama King of the Ten Palaces of Hell—Chu Jiangwang—Chu Li."

"The Underworld?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed surprised expressions, in addition to surprise, there was also a deep hint of dread.

The recognized top Awakened force, the behemoth Underworld comparable to a consortium, they naturally knew something about it.

After hearing this, Takashi Mei and the others exchanged glances, and they all saw incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Li Chenqiu took the key, logically it should be someone from the Northern Federation entering the alien space, how could it be someone from the Underworld?

The black-robed man asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you from the Underworld?"

Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows: "Is that not allowed?"

"The Underworld's reach is really long, it has even extended to our Southern Federation," the black-robed man turned his head to look in the direction of Yang Luhe: "He is a Special Hazardous Disaster designated by your An Tong Division, are you just planning to watch like this?"

"Of course not!" Yang Luhe replied coldly, holding his bow and aiming at Li Chenqiu: "You are the new Chu Jiangwang of the Underworld, right!"

Li Chenqiu looked at the other party noncommittally.

Yang Luhe pulled the bowstring, and orange-yellow flames engulfed the wooden bow: "Put down those corpses, and tell me everything you experienced inside, and I can leave you a complete corpse."

"I dare to say it, do you dare to listen?" Li Chenqiu smiled contemptuously: "If I were to say everything, the Takashi Consortium probably wouldn't let you leave here alive, right?"

Li Chenqiu turned his head to look at the Takashi Consortium side.

Takashi Haisheng frowned: "Li Chenqiu is your man?"

"Whether he is or not, what does it have to do with you? My purpose here is very simple, to take away these corpses. I can give you what you want, but the premise is not to interfere with my mission."

Li Chenqiu replied calmly.

Takashi Haisheng's eyes flashed with cold light: "It's ridiculous, you, a Ten Forbidden Awakened, killed so many of our people, and you dare to negotiate terms with us. Kill you, and the things will still be ours."

"Kill me?" Li Chenqiu restrained his smile: "You can try. I guarantee that if I die here today, the secrets hidden by your Takashi Consortium will spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Federation.

And the things you are thinking about, believe me, you will never find them. Don't doubt whether I can do it, you can't afford to gamble…"

Creak—

Li Chenqiu's voice stopped abruptly, his scalp suddenly tightened, his body felt like it was being dragged into magma, every cell was stinging from being burned, especially his brow, an unspeakable feeling of suffocation filled his entire chest.

"Dodge, dodge quickly!"

Li Chenqiu wanted to transform into gas and escape, but his body was like it was being imprisoned by something, he couldn't even do a normal blink.

At the critical moment, the black-robed man swayed and appeared in front of Li Chenqiu's left, grabbing empty-handed.

Poof—

The arrow hidden in space was directly extinguished.
