337: Chapter 337 The Netherworld Shadow Guards Appear, and the Iron Coffin Above the Pool!

Su Yang clenched his right fist and punched out fiercely against the white bone twin swords slashed by the Human-faced snake woman.

A deafening explosion erupted across the black plain.

The golden fist radiance, like a rising sun, slammed heavily onto the two white bone blades.

The incredibly hard white bone twin swords didn't even last a second, instantly becoming covered in cracks before exploding into pieces.

Bone powder filled the air, splashing in all directions.

The Human-faced snake woman let out a shrill scream.

The webbing between her thumbs and index fingers was torn open by the shock, and green blood gushed out wildly.

Su Yang didn't stop, turning into a golden stream of light that charged directly through the flying bone powder.

He instantly appeared above the Human-faced snake woman's head, his right leg like a giant Heaven-Opening Axe, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air as he chopped down fiercely toward her human torso.

Terror flashed in the Human-faced snake woman's eyes as she hurriedly raised her arms in a cross-block.

"Bang!"

A dull, heavy sound echoed.

The snake woman's arms snapped instantly, and a terrifying force surged through her body.

Her massive body was like a meteor being struck, slamming heavily onto the black rocks below.

The ground collapsed instantly, creating a deep pit over ten meters deep.

Su Yang landed steadily at the bottom of the pit. Giving the monster no chance to breathe, he suddenly raised his right foot and stepped heavily on the snake woman's chest.

The golden Pure Yang True Fire erupted from the sole of his foot, instantly engulfing the snake woman entirely.

"Ah—!" A piercing scream resounded across the plain.

The snake woman rolled frantically in the sea of fire, her hard dark-green scales melting rapidly under the high temperature.

In just a dozen seconds, her hundred-meter-long massive body was completely incinerated into a pile of white ash that scattered with the wind.

A dark-green Demon Core, the size of a fist and emitting dense wood and poison energy, fell into the ashes.

Su Yang reached out to suck the Demon Core into his palm and casually tossed it to Chu Ling, who was walking up from behind.

"Take it as a snack," Su Yang said indifferently.

Chu Ling caught it steadily, a hint of joy appearing on her beautiful face: "Thank you, Boss."

Mary flapped her black bat wings and landed, crossing her arms and looking at the ashes on the ground with a face full of disdain.

"It looks so disgusting, its blood must be stinky too. Boss moved too fast; I didn't even get to warm up."

Qin Xueji approached, her high heels clicking, her forehead covered in fine sweat, and her breathing somewhat hurried.

The pressure emitted by the Human-faced snake woman earlier had caused her, a Cultivator who had just reached the Core Formation stage, to feel bursts of palpitations.

With the snake woman's death, a dull mechanical turning sound suddenly came from the previously flat black ground ahead.

"Rumble!"

The ground slowly split open to both sides, revealing a wide cyan stone staircase passage.

The passage extended deep underground, with rows of eerie green ever-burning lamps lighting up on the stone walls, their light dim and flickering.

A stale, damp, and decayed smell blew out from the depths of the passage.

Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression composed.

"Let's go down and take a look."

The group followed the cyan stone steps deeper and deeper.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the crisp echoes of high heels stepping on the stone slabs.

On the walls on both sides of the stone steps, countless patterns of ferocious ancient exotic beasts were carved; under the dim and eerie green light, they looked as if they might jump out at any moment to devour someone.

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood and the decayed scent of ages, which was nauseating.

The further down they went, the lower the temperature became. Layers of thick black frost began to appear on the stone walls.

Bai Li waved the folding fan in her hand, and her purple demonic power turned into an invisible barrier, blocking the icy chill outside.

Qin Xueji followed closely behind Su Yang, her eyes alertly scanning the surroundings.

After walking for about half an hour, the stairs finally reached an end. A vast underground Bronze Great Hall appeared ahead.

Inside the hall stood dozens of thick Bronze Coiled Dragon Pillars.

On every pillar, ferocious evil ghost totems were carved.

In the very center of the hall, there was a square black water pool.

The pool was filled with a viscous dark-red liquid, with blood bubbles constantly rising to the surface.

Directly above the pool, a giant Black Iron Coffin was suspended! Eight thick iron chains extended from the surrounding walls, locking the Iron Coffin firmly in mid-air.

The surfaces of the chains were covered in obscure red runes, as if they were suppressing something ferocious.

Chu Ling's brows furrowed slightly as her icy blue eyes stared at the pool.

"Boss, the liquid in the pool is entirely gathered from the essence blood of people born in Yin years and Yin months. The resentment is very heavy."

Su Yang remained expressionless and walked straight toward the black pool.

When he was less than ten meters from the pool, a sudden change occurred in the hall!

The eyes of the evil ghost totems on the dozens of Bronze Coiled Dragon Pillars suddenly lit up with red light.

Immediately after, clusters of dense black shadows peeled off from the pillars and landed on the ground, transforming into dozens of pitch-black figures holding scimitars.

The black shadows had no facial features; their bodies were composed entirely of pure darkness and Death Qi.

They moved silently, like a group of assassins lurking in the night, instantly surrounding Su Yang and the other four.

"Husband, be careful, they are Nether Shadow Guards! They have no physical form; ordinary physical attacks cannot harm them in the slightest."

Bai Li called out a warning.

Mary gave a delicate shout and charged forward, refusing to believe it.

Her blood-colored sharp claws slashed fiercely at the chest of a shadow guard.

Her sharp nails passed through the shadow guard's body as if through air, causing no damage at all.

The shadow guard countered with a downward slash, its black blade passing through Mary's arm and leaving an icy wound emitting black Qi.

"It hurts! What a bunch of untouchable ghostly things!"

Mary retreated quickly; the Vampire self-healing ability at the wound was actually suppressed by the black Qi, making recovery very slow.

Su Yang's eyes turned cold, and a dazzling golden light erupted from his body.

"No physical form? My fire specializes in burning trash that can't face the light." Su Yang stepped heavily on the ground.

A circle of golden Pure Yang True Fire swept out frantically along the ground like a raging tide.

The flames were interspersed with purple-blue destructive electric arcs, emitting a terrifying high temperature that could incinerate all things in the world.

Dozens of Nether Shadow Guards couldn't dodge in time and were instantly engulfed by the golden sea of fire.

Shrill screams echoed in the hall. Under the roasting of the Pure Yang True Fire, the dark Death Qi melted and evaporated rapidly, like early snow under a blazing sun.

In just a few seconds, the dozens of shadow guards were burned clean.

Just as the women thought the danger was over, the Black Iron Coffin above the pool suddenly vibrated violently.

Bang!

The lid of the Iron Coffin was blown away by a massive force, slamming heavily against the wall.

Endless black Death Qi surged out from within the Iron Coffin. The Death Qi converged frantically in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a terrifying demonic shadow ten meters tall, holding a giant black War Scythe.

The demonic shadow's eyes were like two clusters of burning blood-fire, emitting the powerful pressure of the Soul Transformation Stage Early Stage.

The demonic shadow let out a deafening roar, its gaze instantly locking onto Qin Xueji, who was standing at the very back of the group.

It had clearly perceived that Qin Xueji's cultivation was the weakest.

The demonic shadow's massive body disappeared from its spot instantly, its speed incredibly fast.

In the next second, it appeared directly above Qin Xueji's head, both hands gripping the giant War Scythe as it chopped down fiercely with a terrifying power that tore through the Void Realm!

With the violent wind pressing down, Qin Xueji felt her breathing stop and her mind go blank; she couldn't even make a move to dodge.

At the critical moment, a golden figure instantly flashed in front of her.

Su Yang casually raised his right hand and grabbed the giant War Scythe as it slashed down.
