In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 374 Betrayal
The sorcerer looked up, seemingly checking the sky.

Seeing the moon high in the sky, he let out a cold laugh.

The incantation changes rapidly.

He recited it rapidly.

"Northern Yin Yulei, Shen Tu guards the gate!"

"The earth splits open, the ghostly path divides!"

"Boom!"

A sudden, earth-shaking tremor.

Everyone lost their balance.

Xie Lingxin reached out to support Leng Qingci.

She was a scripture teacher who focused solely on spiritual cultivation; her physical body was frail.

In this situation, it is difficult to protect oneself.

Hu Duo steadied himself with all his might, glanced at Xie Lingxin's hand on that little bitch's waist, and immediately turned his anger towards the sorcerer: "What is this guy trying to do?!"

"Brother Luo! What's going on?!"

On the other side, there was also great panic.

Luo Xuan was shaken violently.

His face, however, revealed a hint of fervor.

He stared intently at the flashing lightning and billowing black smoke ahead.

It seems they've figured something out.

"You evil Taoist! Stop!"

The shrill voice of the eunuch behind Zhao Gou hurt everyone's ears.

With a swing of its claws, it seemed as if it were tearing through the void.

Within a distance of several dozen feet, the void was torn apart like paper by claw marks.

Even though they weren't the target, everyone felt as if they had been torn into countless pieces.

I instinctively closed my eyes, afraid to look.

Leng Qingci unconsciously buried her head in Xie Lingxin's chest.

Hu Duo couldn't resist when she saw it.

He swung his palm like a knife down at the two adulterous couple.

"when!"

A giant golden bell engraved with auspicious cloud runes floated around Xie Lingxin.

The blade struck down, creating a resounding clang of metal and bells.

"Why are you crazy!"

"You little brat! I've put up with you for too long! Do you really think I, Tiger, have no temper?"

Hu Duo seemed to have been severely provoked and was about to explode without any regard for the consequences.

But then the sorcerer chanted an incantation: "With my primordial spirit, I summon that void spirit; with my own vital energy, I unite with that void vital energy!"

"The three energies unite to illuminate, and the five elements flow in form!"

"Mixed Void, Thunder Palace Spirit Descent!"

"Boom!"

Amidst flashes of lightning and booming thunder.

A golden light suddenly appeared.

A golden-armored deity suddenly leaped out from the void.

He wore a golden crown, a red shawl, and golden armor, and held a hammer in both hands.

His face was like a demon or a monster, with a phoenix beak and silver teeth.

Awe-inspiring and majestic.

Thunder God General!

Xie Lingxin was startled.

This image appears in the painting "The Generals of the Temple of Heaven".

He is one of the thirty-six Thunder Generals!

As soon as the lightning struck, the iron hammer was swung, and the eunuch immediately coughed up blood.

Such a powerful martial arts expert was no match for even a single blow!
But the sorcerer's face was deathly pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Clearly, the price he paid for summoning this divine general was not small.

With a divine general guarding him, even if Zhao Gou brought a considerable number of experts, he couldn't do anything to him.

In a very short time, they were all sent flying by the remaining power of the divine general.

Zhao Gou finally showed fear.

The sorcerer sneered, began to perform a series of powerful footwork steps, and began to chant incantations.

The ground shook more and more violently.

"I am acting on the orders of the Great Emperor of Fengdu—"

"Quickly open the Mysterious Gate and summon all souls!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

"Boom!"

The earth seemed to have truly cracked open!
A huge ravine seemed to have split the Qin mansion in two.

At first glance, you can't see the bottom at all.

It was pitch black and unfathomably deep, as if it could trap one's mind and spirit.

Hu Duo, who was about to explode, couldn't continue.

She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would fall into the abyss and never be able to get out again.

"Ghost Gate!"

"It's the Gate of Hell!"

Luo Xuan exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with ecstatic joy.

"Fengdu! Fengdu really exists!"

Fengdu?!
Xie Lingxin was startled.

"Hey, kid, you've got some good taste!"

The sorcerer sneered, "Zhao Gou! Today, you shall come with me to the underworld of Fengdu to reunite with your treacherous minister and personally apologize to Yue Fei!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

"Edict!"

The sorcerer pointed with a magic gesture, directing it towards Zhao Gou.

"Boom!"

Dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder rumbled incessantly.

Lightning flashed down like a torrent.

But it wasn't aimed at anyone else; it was aimed at the sorcerer!

"Demon way!"

"Your actions are so rebellious and defy the will of Heaven, you will surely be punished by Heaven!"

The eunuch shouted angrily.

However, they were stopped by the golden-armored general and could not cross the line.

In an instant, the sorcerer was struck by lightning, his body charred black and his skin torn open.

The bright red flesh and blood were exposed from the charred remains, a stark and glaring sight.

"Hahahaha!"

The sorcerer burst into laughter.

Amidst the carnage, there was a sense of exhilaration!

"To seek justice, what is there to lose, even at the cost of one's life?"

"Zhao Gou!"

"The gates of hell have opened; if we don't leave now, when will we?"

A bolt of lightning transformed into chains, coiling towards Zhao Gou.

"I am the Emperor! How dare you, you heretic!"

In his panic, Zhao Gou could only curse angrily, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

The lightning bolt had already wrapped around it.

"what!"

Zhao Gou let out a scream and fell straight down.

The lightning bolt swung back, but it locked up a phantom figure.

"Boom!"

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and the thunder grew louder and louder.

It felt like the end of the world was coming.

The entire city of Lin'an was gripped by a sense of unease, and even ordinary people felt as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer had been struck by lightning and his entire body was covered in wounds.

The primordial spirit leaped out from its orifice.

He actually abandoned his physical body and let his primordial spirit leave his body.

He grabbed Zhao Gou's soul and leaped into the ravine.

Xie Lingxin's eyes flickered upon seeing this. She glanced at the room, where Zhao Gou's body lay collapsed.

That sorcerer is probably the one mentioned in "The Truth Comes Out".

Judging from this, the sorcerer really did steal Zhao Gou's soul and was taking it to the "Fengdu" that he mentioned.

Qin Hui fell ill and suffered the same fate.

However, according to history, although Zhao Gou and Qin Hui had their souls stolen, they should not have died.

Although this is a legendary realm, this general trend is unlikely to change.

What other changes might occur later?

What if I took the opportunity to stab them in the back?
Whether or not Zhao Gou and Qin Hui were killed was originally of no concern to him.

But when he thought of the group of people he had met at the foot of the mountain, a surge of righteous indignation began to rise in his chest.

The murderous intent could no longer be suppressed.

The will of the people!
What are you waiting for?
whatever!
Taking advantage of the chaos, the eunuch and Zhao Gou's group of guards were too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else.

Xie Lingxin's spirit left her body and entered the house.

Sure enough, a person was found lying on the couch.

He had a short beard and a refined appearance.

And he has a handsome appearance.

Besides Qin Hui, there was no one else like him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered a ball of telekinetic energy in his palm and unleashed it with a wave of his hand.

"Boom!"

As expected, Qin Hui's head was smashed like a watermelon.

There's nothing that can be done if the methods are too ruthless.

Even Fengdu might exist in this realm. If Xie Lingxin hadn't completely extinguished the life force of this physical body, she would have been afraid he wouldn't have died.

The primordial spirit reverses direction.

Another telekinetic wave was fired at Zhao Gou's head.

"How dare you, you traitor!"

At this moment, the eunuch finally realized something was wrong, turned around, and was filled with shock and anger.

He attacked in a fit of rage, unleashing a terrifying force like a torrent.

Xie Lingxin's primordial spirit was like a leaf adrift in a raging torrent, without any anchor.

He dared not be careless.

For such martial arts masters, their martial will shines like the blazing sun.

To confront someone with one's primordial spirit is to expose one's weakest point—it's suicidal!
With a single thought, the primordial spirit returns to the physical body.

But the telekinetic wave had already been launched, and even though the eunuch was strong, he couldn't stop it in time.

"His!"

A whooshing sound cut through the air, as if it had been waiting all along.

It arrived almost simultaneously with his telekinetic wave.

It was a blade-like aura, but it wasn't aimed at Zhao Gou; instead, it intercepted his telekinetic energy wave.

Tiger!

"little bastard!"

Hu Duo and Xie Lingxin stood facing each other, separated by Zhao Gou's physical body.

A smug smile appeared on his face.

"Is it a surprise?"

"You really think you can control this young marshal with a broken mirror?"

"Or do you think this young marshal is truly captivated by you?"

"hehe!"

Hu Duo let out a harsh, mocking laugh.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of figures suddenly leaped out, surrounding the crowd.

They fought alongside Zhao Gou's guards.

Their cultivation level was no match for those of the guards.

But thanks to their teamwork, they were able to fight to a standstill.

The eunuch was now in a dilemma, worried about the emperor's soul being taken away by the sorcerer, and also afraid that the emperor's physical body would be damaged, so he dared not make any rash moves.

Seeing the sudden change, he made a decision.

He leaped directly into the slowly closing ravine.

They went after the sorcerer.

"You're quite impressive, though, for finding this place so quickly. I was hoping to play with you a bit, but you're too greedy."

"You can't kill this person."

Hu Duo seemed like a completely different person at that moment.

He was neither as domineering as when they first met, nor as capricious as he was after being controlled by Xie Lingxin with the Soul-Capturing Mirror.

At this moment, she was fierce and cold, yet possessed a restrained composure.

That seems more in line with her identity as a "young marshal".

The people behind Xie Lingxin were both shocked and furious. Hu Bushen couldn't help but curse, "So! You've been lying to us all along!"

Hu Duo gave a cold laugh but didn't reply.

He seemed to think he wasn't worthy to speak to her.

Hu Duo looked at Xie Lingxin and said, "Xie Lingxin, you have some skill, so I don't want to lay a hand on you."

"I'll give you a chance to come under my command and serve me. In the name of the young marshal of the Tiger Clan, I guarantee your future will be secure."

"In the Tiger Clan, as long as you have the ability, there is nothing you cannot obtain!"

"Brother Xie, what's wrong with her...?"

Leng Qingci was filled with surprise and doubt.

How did it suddenly turn out like this?

This tiger isn't facing Brother Xie... Could it be that she's mistaken?

Xie Lingxin shook her head, looked at Hu Duo, and smiled, "You finally couldn't hold back?"

Hu Duo frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Lingxin ignored her: "Do you think I'm blind, do you think those two under you are always exchanging glances?"

"I thought you could act for much longer, but I didn't expect you to give up so quickly."

"So, your target is also this emperor?"

"Let me guess... He can't be an incarnation of the Faceless Buddha, and you're not interested in any Buddha."

"What you want... is his luck?"

Hu Duoying's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he smiled, "I want his luck? What do I want it for? How do I get it? Luck is intangible and intangible, and cannot be grasped."

"I do not know then."

After Xie Lingxin finished speaking, there was no need to continue. With a flick of her wrist, the Soul-Capturing Mirror appeared in her hand.

"I suspect you might have a way to escape my control, but I know exactly what I'm making."

"If you want to escape, you'll probably have to pay a heavy price."

As Xie Lingxin spoke, the mirror light shimmered.

Hu Duo's expression changed, and he immediately stabbed himself in the heart with a backhand strike.

"puff!"

She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her beautiful face turned deathly pale.

Xie Lingxin felt that the connection between the wisp of soul in the mirror and Hu Duo had been severed.

Leng Qingci exclaimed in shock: "He actually severed his own soul?"

This strike will either kill Hu Duo or damage his very foundation!
"You've managed to force me to cut myself, you have every right to be proud, you little bastard. We'll meet again!"

Blood was gushing from Hu Duo's chest and mouth, but he had a smile on his face.

He bent down and scooped up Zhao Gou's body in his hand, then leaped into the air.

At the same time, her men abandoned the enemy and attacked Xie Lingxin.

Xie Lingxin knew that she was trying to use these people to stop her.

What a cruel heart!

"Buzz!"

A chanting auspicious sound rang out, and a giant golden hand struck out, blasting these people away. It reached out to grab them from the void, but only managed to pull back half of their bodies...

Hu Duo had already disappeared into the air.

It didn't escape to somewhere; it was guided back by the Heart Lamp and left the realm.

At the same time, the others also used their inner lamps to guide them, and they all disappeared without a trace.

Xie Lingxin looked at the half of Zhao Gou's body she was holding in her hand...

This must be completely dead, right?

A dignified emperor was actually just an ordinary person?

With Wu Zetian as a role model, Xie Lingxin shook her head.

despise!
