Chapter 875 The Repaired Underworld

Xia Shou entered the underworld, passing by rows of intact houses, keeping watch on his surroundings while reaching out his hand to Su Weiyu.

Su Weiyu reached out her hand very tacitly. She knew that Xia Shou wanted to re-establish the substitute relationship with her in the "Three-Person Waltz", so she cooperated by reaching out and taking his hand.

The moment their hands met, Xia Shou froze for a moment, then turned to look at Su Weiyu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Su Weiyu also stared at Xia Shou, wondering why he was looking at her like that. Weren't they supposed to hold hands? Didn't they just bind a substitute contract?
A second later, Su Weiyu suddenly realized that she had been careless!

Oh no, I instinctively interlocked my fingers with Xia Shou's to shake hands. We usually shake hands like this when we're in bed, but I don't usually do it like this in real life.

Besides, this is preparation for battle, not a trip to an amusement park. This kind of gripping that is obviously not going to be separated for a short time is just inappropriate!

Su Weiyu feigned composure and withdrew her hand, turning her head to look around: "Didn't you say there were many evil spirits in the underworld? How come there isn't a single one?"

Xia Shou's thoughts were also pulled back. When he took out the compass again, he saw that the pointer on the compass was swinging even more erratically. Who told Wei Yu to suddenly hold his hand like that?

But what's going on with this underworld? Why are all these houses suddenly being built?

Just as Xia Shou walked into the street, he finally saw the first living creature: a strangely shaped, fat-bellied, blue-faced, fanged demon.

Xia Shou met the other's gaze, and the next second, the green-faced ghost roared and charged forward.

"I'll do it," Su Weiyu said calmly, as if she were saying, "You sit down, I'll pour the tea."

"Ah-Shou, your mirror magic has a cooldown period, right? Don't worry, leave this to me."

After saying that, Su Weiyu lightly jumped forward and flashed to the side of the big-bellied green-faced ghost with a quick step. She stretched out her palm and slapped the other party's forehead, as if detonating some kind of bomb, directly blasting the other party's head into bloody water.

The next second, the headless demon's body fell straight to the ground and remained motionless.

Even Xia Shou couldn't help but marvel at Su Weiyu's strength.

He had always known that Su Weiyu had made great progress in cultivating the Mind-Based Martial Arts, but he hadn't expected her progress to be this great. This Instant Step was too fast!
The slap that smashed the other's head was probably the forbidden knowledge that Su Weiyu had mentioned to him before, which she had comprehended from the battle with Yi Lei, to "shape" the original appearance of flesh and blood—[Forbidden Knowledge: Killing to Injure the Body].

"Wow, that's impressive!" Xia Shou exclaimed.

His dynamic vision was able to keep up with Su Weiyu's Instant Step, and because he himself had experience using Instant Step, he knew the level of Su Weiyu's Instant Step.

Of course, it couldn't compare to the guard I had encountered before, but it was definitely top-notch footwork. The key was not speed, but the graceful posture, flowing smoothly and naturally like clouds and water, as if he hadn't used any martial arts techniques at all, but had just taken a step forward casually.

Even in his pseudo-blood demon state, with the added advantage of his special ankles and leg bones, Xia Shou couldn't achieve such fluid movements.

He could indeed achieve a speed far exceeding Su Weiyu's Instant Step, but his naturalness was completely inferior to hers.

The difference between the two is like that between a javelin thrower with superhuman strength and a javelin thrower who has undergone scientific training. The former may not have the standard form, but they can still achieve better results by relying on exaggerated strength. However, the standard throwing form is definitely one of the key factors to reach the upper limit of one's strength.

Xia Shou even felt that even if he used the scorpion spine to train repeatedly, he might not be able to achieve the same fluency as Su Weiyu. This seemed to be something that humans could not achieve through physical training, but rather a kind of... enlightenment.

As expected, it's likely that the "Martial Arts Manual" that Wei Yu consumed is continuing to take effect, allowing her martial arts level to improve in a perfect state. And... not only is she strong, she's also incredibly cool.

In the instant she swiftly dispatched the Green-Faced Demon, her second Instant Step completely avoided the splattered blood, demonstrating remarkable skill and embodying the saying that taking the head of an army is as easy as taking something out of a bag.

After killing the Green-Faced Demon, Su Weiyu gave Xia Shou a thumbs-up, indicating that everything was done.

Xia Shou stepped forward, stretched out his foot, and kicked the bulky body, but there was no response.

Such is the law of the underworld: although the body does not die, without a brain to control it, the scattered torso will not move on its own.

"Oh, right, Wei Yu, don't forget the effect of the Three-Person Waltz. You can use my special ability to fight in critical moments," Xia Shou reminded her.

"I know, but we haven't tested that bond depth yet, so it's best not to use it too much," Su Weiyu said cautiously.

Although she had no doubt about the bond between herself and Xia Shou, who knew how the bond described in the text was judged? Before conducting a detailed test, it was safer to leave some room for maneuver.

Xia Shou nodded and turned the body over.

The next second, he heard a sharp, whistling sound coming from behind his head.

Turning his head, he saw Su Weiyu catch a sharp, pale bone arrow in mid-air. It seemed that the arrow had just been shot at him.

Su Weiyu coldly threw away the arrow and looked up in the direction from which the hidden weapon had been fired. On the rooftop next to her, a humanoid creature with a head like a balloon and a body as small as a baby was perched on the roof, looking in their direction.

“Another one.” Xia Shou fell into thought.

Whether it was the blue-faced ghost from before or the big-headed ghost in front of them, their eyes gave off a sense of rationality.

All the evil spirits in the underworld suffer endless torment due to the law of body swapping, and are therefore all in a state of madness.

Moreover, they should all be imprisoned in the Avici Hell, so how could they have come out? Could it be that during these years of the Scar Age, the evil spirits in the Avici Hell have been liberated?

No, even if they were liberated, their bodies were still in disarray, and they shouldn't have such rational eyes.

Could it be... that these demons were actually created? Just like the funeral home used human minds to control the bodies of demons?
However, it's not yet clear what their attitude is towards Su Weiyu. Su Weiyu killed the first evil spirit too quickly, so much so that they didn't have time to observe it.

Can it see you?

"It seems... I can see it." Su Weiyu leaped up, using the stone bench on the side of the street as a springboard, and then used the pillar on the other side to push off. She used her Instant Step to instantly appear beside the Big Head Ghost.

She didn't launch an attack immediately, but gave Big Head Ghost ample time to react.

Sure enough, when Su Weiyu did not attack immediately, the big-headed monster let out a cry and turned its attention to Su Weiyu.

can see!
So it's not human, it's a monster!
