Chapter 2181: Sealing the Netherworld
Satan’s expression suddenly turned a bit wild.
However, what he said was even crazier than his expression.
"If you want to leave the Netherworld, there’s only one way, and that’s to kill me!"
"Only by killing me can you leave this place!"
Satan’s expression was frenzied, and his pale face also showed two unhealthy flushes of red.
He now looked like a terminally ill lunatic, completely presenting a mad demeanor!
Xiao Zheng’s pupils contracted suddenly, as endless surprise surged in his heart.
Because he never expected that the way to leave the Netherworld would be so peculiar and strange. No wonder Satan said he’d never be able to leave the Netherworld in this lifetime; turns out only if Satan dies will the light curtain sealing the Netherworld disappear.
"What do you say? Are you afraid?" Seeing Xiao Zheng not speaking, Satan’s face instantly showed a somewhat playful smile, "If you’re afraid, you can feel free to stay and accompany me here in the Netherworld."
"You don’t have to worry about lifespan; I can help you gain immortality!"
Satan now seemed to transform from a lunatic into a swindler.
The word "immortality" seemed to contain infinite magic.
Even Xiao Zheng, at this moment, couldn’t help but breathe a little heavier.
"You feel tempted? I know, you must feel tempted!" Satan’s smile became even brighter as he spoke, "Don’t worry, I said, I never lie. As long as you nod your head now, I can immediately grant you immortality!"
"In your Huaxia terms, it’s to live as long as heaven and earth!"
It has to be said, the pie he offered was indeed very tempting.
If it were anyone else, they might just nod and agree on the spot.
However, after hearing this, Xiao Zheng immediately calmed down, and a hint of mockery subtly appeared on his smile: "Indeed, in Huaxia there’s a saying about living as long as heaven and earth, but we also have another old saying you probably haven’t heard."
"What is it?" Satan asked with a curious face.
"This old saying is, there are no free pies falling from the sky." Xiao Zheng’s lips curled up as he spoke, "I fear your so-called immortality is just like those I’ve killed before, becoming part of the Undying Clan, right?"
"With the soul extinguished and a new intellect born in the corpse, even if I truly achieve immortality, at that time, would I still be me?"
"Why wouldn’t you be? Anyway, you all look the same," Satan said, "And even if your soul is extinguished, after you resurrect, with your powerful strength, you would still retain a trace of memory from when you were alive."
"How about it? I can give you plenty of time to consider."
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don’t need it! Compared to gaining immortality like a living dead, I prefer to rely on my own efforts to gain a longer lifespan through cultivation!"
"You really don’t want to reconsider?" Satan asked with a frown.
Seeing his regretful expression, one might think Xiao Zheng had missed a great opportunity.
"Absolutely not considering it!"
Xiao Zheng still showed no hesitation as he spoke.
Feeling his determination, Satan finally gave up, sighing as he said, "That’s really a pity. With your strength, you had every chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in the near future."
"If you became part of the Undying Clan in the future, we could seek ways to leave the Netherworld together in the endless years to come. By then, the two of us teaming up could directly conquer the whole world!"
"This choice of yours is a big mistake; you’ve really disappointed me!"
After finishing, he couldn’t help but shake his head again.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Why look for other ways to leave the Netherworld? Didn’t you just tell me one way to leave?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you actually planning to kill me?" Satan suddenly looked up, somewhat incredulous, and asked.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That’s right. Anyway, you’ve been alive in this world long enough. And didn’t you say you’re tired of this life? If that’s the case, let me kill you, and you will be freed, then I can leave this place too."
"Tell me, isn’t this a win-win solution?"
Satan was first stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "I really didn’t see wrong; you truly are an interesting person. I really grow more fond of you."
"Rest assured, I will surely kill you and then grant you immortality."
"But as punishment, I will strip your memory, making you stay by my side for all eternity as my slave!"
"Prepare to die!"
Just as his voice fell, he suddenly launched an attack on Xiao Zheng.
Feeling the strength of Satan’s strike, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but have his pupils contract, then his body immediately flew back!
Boom!
Satan’s fist slammed down hard, hitting the spot where Xiao Zheng had just been standing!
When the dust settled, half the ground in front of the castle was completely collapsed and fell to the mountain’s base!
Satan’s punch was enough to destroy half of Death God Mountain!
The enormous disturbance echoed incessantly in the Netherworld!
"Your speed is indeed fast, but what’s the use of simply dodging? In the end, won’t you still fall into my hands?"
"Stop struggling, let me grant you immortality!"
At this moment, Satan seemed like a madman, crazily laughing as he attacked Xiao Zheng again.
Xiao Zheng’s gaze grew cold as he decided to get serious with him.
The reason he dodged just now was entirely because of the sudden situation; he hadn’t realized Satan would strike out of nowhere. Now that he reacted, he felt no fear in his heart.
Because through that punch from Satan, Xiao Zheng already gauged his level. Just as Xiao Zheng had previously estimated, Satan’s level was the Derivation Realm Early Stage.
With his current strength, he could definitely put up a fight!
However, although Xiao Zheng wasn’t afraid of Satan, he dared not show any carelessness in this battle. For just as he had the means to kill Satan, Satan could kill him as well.
Both were now on equal standing, and victory would depend on who first exposed a flaw!
Xiao Zheng kept his eyes fixed on Satan’s figure, then with a flicker of thought, all his avatars moved out at that moment!
Altogether eleven avatars appeared around him!
When Satan saw this, just like Li Xuan and the others before, he was immediately stunned on the spot!
