752 The King Shakes the Mountain and Rivers
"What the hell is going on?!"
Immediately, Black Mamba stood up from his throne in shock. Due to his weak cultivation, he had chosen to stay in this fortified cave. Still, he could not hide his cowardice.
"Boss! I think we are facing an air raid!"
"No f*cking way! No one in their right mind would waste gasoline and missiles to attack us! I mean why would they do such a thing?! It's not like they can cause any harm to us!"
"This is too noisy! Boss! I'm going to check it out! If I find out that someone is messing with us, I will break his f*cking neck!" said the dark-skinned King Kong in a furious manner.
"No! You should stay here to protect me! The few of you here! Go and check out what the hell is going on outside! Kill the man and bring me the woman!"
"Yes, boss!"
Few of the core members put on an evil smile and left the cave – bringing a dozen goons with them. They then rushed to where the explosion occurred.
"Boss! Why didn't you let me go? I have not killed for a very long time! My hands are getting itchy!" said the dark-skinned King Kong in a displeased manner.
"You… I want you to keep me company while I go and check on the man and woman that we captured! You told me that you respect that man a lot, right? Let's go and witness his death! Isn't that more interesting than getting blood on your hands?"
Knowing that he was a coward, Black Mamba had to find an excuse to hide it.
"That's right! Watching a warrior perish is more interesting than killing! It would be more interesting if we can make him beg for his life!" said the dark-skinned King Kong while nodding his head excitedly.
Right after that, they two of them strode toward the forest. Thought it was broad daylight, this forest was oozing with a dark and evil aura. A number of steles were spotted when they arrived at the deeper part of the forest. From the look of it, they looked like the tombstones of an old graveyard. Evil spirit could be sensed wandering around this area. It was as if this graveyard was built for those that died miserably.
"Mu! Yi Ma Hu Bei..."
Black Mamba chanted while walking up front. Under normal circumstances, the dark-skinned King Kong was aggressive by nature. At this creepy moment, he chose to stay behind Black Mamba obediently. Given the things that he just saw and sensed, he would not dare to act rashly.
Clearly, this place was not a graveyard and the steles were not tombstones as well! The steles served as a core element of this formation and the rune on it could be used to control evil spirits. There were hundreds of steles in this area. In other words, this formation could control thousands of evil spirits at the same time. In other words, this place would have been flooded with thousands of evil spirits if Black Mamba was not here to lead the way.
Judging from that, this formation must have possessed some special ability. Considering that Hades feared this formation, there was a high chance that Pure Yang Items had no effect on this formation! If not, Hades could have brought a Pure Yang Item to nullify this formation. Needless to say, this evil spirit formation was the powerful thing on this island! That was why a coward like Black Mamba could sit on the throne and command thousands of people!
"We are here!" Black Mamba stopped in his tracks and said.
"Quick! Boss! Please help me to activate my Yin Yang Eyes!" urged the dark-skinned King Kong.
"Why are you rushing? Look at you! What a joke!"
Though Black Mamba was a coward by nature, he could still act like a real boss under circumstances like this.
"How can I not be in a hurry? I'm not like you! I don't have a pair of Yin Yang Eyes with me! I want to be able to watch some exciting stuff! Please be quick!"
King Kong continued to rush Black Mamba. Judging from his personality, there was no way that he could calm down right now.
*Sigh…*
Immediately, Black Mamba took out a small dagger and sliced his finger. He then drew some weird symbols on King Kong's eyelids with his own blood. There were a lot of shamans in this world and they used different methods to help one to activate Yin Yang Eyes. Basically, Black Mamba's way of doing things originated from Southeast Asia. Using blood as a medium to activate the rune was different from using Qi. However, these two methods could achieve the same thing in the end.
"Open!"
Black Mamba shouted and a creepy scene was presented in front of King Kong. A stone altar was lying in front of them and there were a Chinese man and woman on top of it. From far, one could feel that a sense of terrifying aura was coming out from it. The woman was sitting with both arms around her legs – looking uncomfortable. And this woman was none other than Lin Xiang! There were tear-stained marks left on her cheeks. Fear and anxiety were written all over her face. Clearly, she had been through something horrifying! However, there were no open wounds on her body. Even her attire was not wrinkled. It was only slightly dusty.
On the other hand, the man that stood in front of her was covered in blood. This man was none other than Xiangyu. Hundreds of open wounds were all over his body. An ordinary people would definitely wonder how could the legendary Xiangyu suffered such severe injuries?! Only the true elite would notice that all those injuries were actually inflicted by himself! Judging from the shape of his wounds, one would think they form some ancient Chinese runes!
Truthfully, Xiangyu channeled his True Kang to engrave runes on his body – the fresh blood that seeped out from his wounds carried the Yang element. It could be used to fence off those evil spirits to protect Lin Xiang.
*Roar*
*Woo*
*Ah…*
Through the Yin Yang Eyes, they could see that there were a dozen evil spirits surrounding Xiang Yu and Lin Xiang. They were not some random low-tier evil spirits! Instead, all of them were five-star evil spirits! An ordinary human being would be drained by them within seconds – leaving an empty shell behind!
With his steel-like mind and powerful body, Xiangyu managed to protect Lin Xiang without drinking and eating for seven days! All those evil spirits feared the Yang element emanating from Xiangyu. None of them dared to get close to him. On the other hand, Xiangyu and Lin Xiang were being trapped at that place as well. As times passed by, Xiangyu's had almost reached his limit. Just like what Black Mamba mentioned earlier, no one could hold up for more than seven days! Xiangyu would be killed if he failed to get out from this place within twelve hours!
"Sister! It's time to drink the Hundred Herbs Potion!"
Standing there like an immovable guardian angel, Xiangyu reminded Lin Xiang with his masculine voice. Though his body was weak, he would never allow it to take his pride away as the almighty conqueror Xiangyu!
"Okay…"
Promptly, Lin Xiang consumed the remaining of Hundred Herbs Potion in the bottle. Before they got trapped here, Xiangyu gave this one and only Hundred Herbs Potion to Lin Xiang to keep her alive. That was how Lin Xiang managed to stay alive for so many days! Of course, she wanted to share some with Xiangyu. However, Xiangyu was being sealed by some weird force – making him untouchable.
Throughout the six days, Lin Xiang could only watch Xiangyu bleed and became weaker. The mental torture that she been through was no worse than the physical pain that Xiangyu experienced.
"Hehe… Quite a tough man, I would say! Unfortunately, he will die soon!" said Black Mamba while looking at Xiangyu playfully.
"Coward! I dare you to dispel your formation and let me fight with you with pure strength! I'm even willing to fight with you with only one of my hands!"
Xiangyu's roar was so powerful that the whole ground and space shook!
