Nightmare Light

Chapter 185 The Weakness of the Yellow Springs Lord
Dead tree branches, dead tree branches are everywhere on both sides of the River Styx.

The deathly stillness created a forbidden zone for life. In the entire underworld, life had vanished and all things withered. Dead trees were everywhere, and withered branches were not rare in the underworld.

However, when Lin Wang took out the branch, Huang Quan Gong still let out a strange cry as if he had been stung by a bee.

"Why do you possess such a thing!"

He waved his arms wildly, instantly gathering a large amount of white bone powder in front of him, layering it on top of each other.

At the same time, its lizard-like lower body began to turn around, attempting to escape.

The most powerful being in the underworld, Huang Quan Gong, actually wanted to escape!

He actually tried to escape!
But why would Lin Wang give him that opportunity?
He stared intently at Huang Quan Gong, gripped the tree spear tightly with both hands, and strode forward.

The white fire giant's entire body crashed into the cloud of bone dust, and at the same instant, Lin Wang unleashed all the white fire within his body without reservation.

boom!
The white flame was ignited, and the resulting shockwave blasted outwards, scattering bone powder in the process.

Lin Wang's white flames were extremely thin, barely maintaining his giant form, but his eyes were bright. He gripped his tree spear tightly and, taking advantage of the moment when the other turned to escape, thrust the spear heavily into the spine connecting Huang Quan Gong's upper and lower body!
Click!

The spear pierced the spine, shattering it into pieces.

However, Huang Quan Gong's spine remained unchanged.

Huang Quan Gong was taken aback, turned around, and grinned with his skeletal maw: "Heh... ant, so your strength is insufficient to control that spear... What a waste."

"If it were someone stronger, I would already be seriously injured by now..."

Click, click... click click click!

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled, and many fine cracks appeared on his white, jade-like spine.

"what!"

Huang Quan Gong was filled with shock and anger, and roared.

click!
A bone fragment broke off from the spine and fell off.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Lin Wang took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state.

He felt like he was about to fall apart—the weakness from withstanding an attack from a "Gong" level immortal and the exhaustion from overdrawing his white fire were both assaulting him at the same time.

But Lin Wang's eyes remained bright and his expression calm, as if the weakness and pain had nothing to do with him.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and raised the tree spear again—the spear had broken into four or five pieces. Lin Wang held up the most intact piece and aimed it at Huang Quan Gong once more.

"No! My lord's successor! Stop!" Huang Quan Gong shouted, waving his hands frantically.

Lin Wang remained silent, but gripped his spear tightly and charged at Huang Quan Gong again, thrusting the spear out fiercely at the same time.

Suddenly, Huang Quan Gong moved!

He raised both hands in front of him, trying to block Lin Wang's attack. At the same time, a third hand suddenly appeared from behind him, holding a boat oar, and slashed fiercely at Lin Wang.

The oars, accompanied by a deathly roar, cleaved towards Lin Wang's head.

Lin Wang remained expressionless and continued forward, shouting, "Now!"

"Meow knows!"

A cat girl dressed in black suddenly appeared, holding a paper strip in her hand. She was agile and fast as lightning, leaping to the front of Huang Quan Gong's spine.

She shook the paper strip in her hand forcefully, wrapped it around the tree spear, and pulled it forward with all her might.

"Meow, I'm casting my fishing rod!"

Lin Wang released his grip, and the tree spear, pulled by the paper strip, accelerated again, forming a streak of gray light that passed through the gap between Huang Quan Gong's hands and struck his spine.

At the same time, he curled up and clasped his hands in front of him.

Huang Quan Gong's anchor struck Lin Wang squarely.

Lin Wang coughed up another mouthful of blood, slumped backward, and could no longer maintain his white fire giant form. Amidst the flickering flames, he transformed back into human form and plummeted downwards. Only his calm, deep eyes remained fixed on the gray light.

boom!
The gray light struck Huang Quan Gong's spine once more.

Click!

This time, the gray light completely pierced Huang Quan Gong's spine.

His enormous body trembled violently as he looked down at his abdomen—a section of his spine had been completely shattered, revealing a pale white ball of light inside.

"Roar!!"

Huang Quan Gong roared at the sky, and as the shockwave spread out again, almost everyone felt the pain and anger in that roar.

Lin Wang fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, a strip of paper shot over from a distance, wrapped around his hand, and he pulled it.

Lin Wang was pulled up and shot into the air, flying to the vicinity of Huang Quan Gong's spine.

He looked up and saw the cat girl tying the paper strip to one of Huang Quan Gong's ribs, swinging it back and forth on the ribs—the other end of the paper strip was tied to Lin Wang's hand.

"Lin Wang! What is that glowing ball?!"

Lin Wang dangled the paper strip, smiling at the white cat: "This is the energy core of the Yellow Springs Lord—and the key to defeating Him."

The voice of Huang Quan Gong sounded somewhat panicked, and it rang out like muffled thunder from mid-air.

“My lord’s successor! How could you possibly know where my energy core is! Even my lord doesn’t know this secret!”

Lin Wang tied the paper strip to one of the upper ribs, held the strip, stood on the lower ribs, tested the tightness of the strip, looked up and grinned: "I guessed."

"Guess? You..." Huang Quan Gong was taken aback at first, then realized that this northerner was about to do something to "enrage this immortal" to His energy core.

He panicked: "My lord's successor! What do you want? We can talk! I have many treasures, what do you want? I can defeat you! Don't attack my energy core!"

Lin Wang smiled at the sky: "Heh, now you know to beg for mercy? Isn't it a little too late?"

He pulled hard on the rope, striking a "pirate boarding" pose, then adjusted the angle to strike what he thought was a very cool pose.

Then, he leaped forcefully toward the vertebrae at the energy core.

Damn it, I missed.

Snapped!
Lin Wang bumped into a section of the spine, and after a few seconds, he moved his face away from it.

"Ouch...that hurts a bit."

Lin Wang felt a little embarrassed. He looked up at the white cat and saw the cat girl sitting on a spine, happily playing with the note in her hand.

He breathed a sigh of relief and climbed down his spine.

A dozen seconds later, Lin Wang jumped to Huang Quan Gong's pelvis, looked around, and finally turned his gaze back to the energy core.

He raised his hand, preparing to touch the ball of energy, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and his thoughts began to wander.

Sigh... If I finish dealing with this ball of energy later, and then jump down from this pelvic position...

From the outside perspective, wouldn't it be...

Did the Duke of the Underworld pull me out?
What the hell!

No way! I'll have to come up with a new exit strategy later!
Lin Wang snapped out of his reverie.

He refocused his attention on the core energy of Huang Quan Gong.

Amidst the earth-shattering roar and pleas of Huang Quan Gong, Lin Wang reached out and grasped the ball of energy.
