"You’re asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask? I’ve never been to the depths of the Dark Prison." The handsome guy stretched his neck and shouted. Don’t even mention the tenth layer of the Dark Prison.

He couldn’t even be certain he could enter the first eight layers.

"If my guess is correct, the possessor in front of us must be the Slasher who fought against the residual soul of my father back then!"

Lin Zifeng squinted his eyes, recalling what Jia Zhenjing told him after coming out of the Dark Prison.

That day, when Jia Zhenjing brought the old man and Nangong Shui out of the third layer, passing the barrier of the Monk, the residual soul of the Holy War Angel appeared to save them.

However, the moment the residual soul of the Holy War Angel appeared, a soul comparable to the Holy War’s came charging from the depths. According to Jia Zhenjing’s recollection, that soul was a faceless man. The features were blurry and unrecognizable.

But now, Lin Zifeng connected the dots and felt quite certain. If his guess was not wrong, the guy in front of him was the ’faceless man’ Jia Zhenjing mentioned back then!

————————

"According to the handsome guy, this guy really is the Jiuyou King of the tenth layer of the Dark Prison. This spells trouble for me. The Clown King of the first layer, the Mud King of the second layer, and the Monk of the third layer were all top-tier powerhouses! Now there’s a Jiuyou King from the tenth layer! How am I supposed to fight this?"

Lin Zifeng was stunned.

A frog in a well really doesn’t know how vast the sky is until it hops out. When first trapped in the Dark Prison, Lin Zifeng thought it was just a place to confine the strong and didn’t find it terribly frightening.

Instead, now that he knew more, he felt that the world was truly too vast, and he himself was incredibly small.

"Kid, don’t despair. Since there’s no retreat, and you’ve already faced it, let’s fight then! I’ll support you from behind. Even if you lose, I’ll join you in death if necessary!"

In the most critical moment, the handsome guy still showed his solidarity with Lin Zifeng, which warmed Lin Zifeng’s heart.

It turned out this dead dog wasn’t such a heartless thing after all...

"Dead dog, we’re still alive. Can you stop mentioning death all the time?" Lin Zifeng glared at it. Then he shielded the handsome guy behind him.

Clutching the Heavenly Painting Halberd, he shouted, "Dead dog, step back. Even if today it’s the Jiuyou King, I want to see just how powerful the Jiuyou King of the tenth layer is. Just when I’m at a bottleneck period. It’s hard to make progress at the moment."

"Kid, this isn’t a joke. Be careful!" The handsome guy kindly reminded.

"Don’t worry. The fortune teller said I’d live to be over ninety. That old fortune teller claimed to be the Divine Calculation of a hundred miles. I think I’ll get through this safely."

"Damn! That amazing? Is the fortune teller still around? How about introducing me? I’d like to seek him out too?"

The handsome guy was wildly excited. If such a person truly existed, it would be his lucky break. He’s in dire need of such a person to help him escape his sea of suffering.

"..." Lin Zifeng’s face sank.

Ignoring it, he charged toward the Jiuyou King possessing the Monk’s body, holding the Heavenly Painting Halberd with all his might.

The Jiuyou King’s eyes were tightly shut, then suddenly opened wide with a broad grin.

He suddenly extended his left palm. Immediately, a black abyss appeared in that palm, pitch black and emanating an extraordinarily powerful suction.

"Don’t get close to his left hand!"

The handsome guy, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed the abyss in the Monk’s palm; that was the opponent’s domain.

Without his true body descending, the domain could only be activated through the palm, mouth, butt, or a few other passage points.

If the true body descended and directly activated its domain, it could encompass Lin Zifeng. The Jiuyou King is at least a Sub-Saint Seventh Layer Heaven powerhouse!

The immense suction pulled his body towards the abyss in the palm, and even if he wanted to control his own body, it wouldn’t heed his command.

The Heavenly Painting Halberd was deeply embedded in the ground, both hands tightly gripping it to prevent himself from being swept away by the endless suction. He held onto the halberd, refusing to let go.

"Don’t let go! Hold on a bit longer, that Monk’s flesh can’t withstand the domain’s suction for long. His flesh will disintegrate by itself." The handsome guy explained anxiously.

"I’m about to lose my grip!"

Under the immense suction, Lin Zifeng found it increasingly difficult, while the Monk took step after step towards him, with the true master being the Jiuyou King.

The Monk’s body was not as powerful as the Jiuyou King, and the Jiuyou King tried to use his body to exhibit his strongest power, but unfortunately, as the power exposure prolonged, the Monk’s body began to show creeping movements. His palm began to crack, and his entire arm displayed numerous fine red veins.

These veins gradually appeared from the muscles, and since the power was too immense, how could the Monk’s frail body withstand the Jiuyou King’s power? It seemed ready to burst at any moment.

"Kid! Hold on a bit longer! His domain will soon close!" The handsome guy was anxious. Although the Jiuyou King possessed the Monk’s body, his power couldn’t be fully displayed.

However, the Jiuyou King’s profound strength and immense power were beginning to manifest. Prolonged exposure could be fatal to Lin Zifeng.

Thinking of this, the handsome guy couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Dead dog! I can’t hold on any longer!"

Finally! Lin Zifeng didn’t want to hold on any longer. Clash! The halberd was withdrawn. He swung the Heavenly Painting Halberd and charged along with the Monk’s palm suction.

"Jiuyou King! Take this blow!"

Lin Zifeng struck with all his might, and the spear light shot into the sky. The momentum was like a dragon, shattering stones and shocking heaven. The entire space trembled under this strike.

"Here I come!"

Suddenly, the handsome guy opened his large mouth, his four feet stepping into the air, and charged brutally forward.

As the Heavenly Painting Halberd landed, the Monk’s body couldn’t withstand the halberd’s power; its left arm was blasted into minced meat.

Flesh splattered. The Monk opened its mouth, letting out a bone-chilling wail like a howl from the depths of the soul. Next, a faceless shadow rushed out of the Monk’s body. The shadow moved at lightning speed.

Before the Heavenly Painting Halberd could strike, the shadow extended its hand and sent Lin Zifeng flying. As the handsome guy charged forward and saw this scene, the dead dog rubbed its limbs against the ground, slowing down.

"Well, I’m just a bystander. Let’s pretend I was never here, alright?"

Slap!

The shadow’s hand slapped down, sending the handsome guy into a chorus of yelps.
