Chapter 176 Acclimatization Problems and Deadly Poisons
Amidst the raging waves, high-level water magic rained down from the sky, instantly covering Su Ming's surroundings the moment the Gate of Chaos shattered. The cursed spiders were also busy, hiding in the waves, watching Su Ming intently, ready to strike at any moment.
Contrary to expectations, Su Ming was not submerged by the flood, and the cursed spider had no chance to attack. Before even touching the flood, scorching flames erupted from Su Ming's body.
Although it was just Bi Fang's fire, Xiao Qing could use it at will. The water was evaporated, and compared to Bi Fang's heavenly fire, Xu Sheng's water magic seemed somewhat ridiculous.
The cursed spiders screamed and left the water. In just a short while, many cursed spiders died, which made the leader of the cursed spiders' heart bleed. These were all his assets. He relied on these cursed spiders to conquer territory, and now they were dying like this. It hurts so much.
Flames soared into the sky, and the water-based super-level magic released a volume of water capable of annihilating most of a city. It was a level three water-based super-level spell, approaching the level of a semi-forbidden spell.
More importantly, Xu Sheng's magical power will be greatly enhanced under the blessing of Mingzhong, but even so, it will not be able to stop Bifang's fire.
The heavenly fire was so enormous that it formed a gigantic phantom in the sky.
The phantom looked down over the entire city, turning it red, just like it had back in the Helan Mountains.
However, the size and range are much smaller compared to that time.
Xu Sheng looked up and met the gaze of the phantom. It was clearly just a phantom, but it seemed to have its own consciousness, which made Xu Sheng feel a little scared.
That sharp gaze —
He was actually a little scared and hesitant to make another move.
"What on earth is that?!" Xu Sheng's face was extremely ugly.
Even with the blessing of the Netherworld Bell, he only gained a slight increase in strength, while Su Ming was clearly just a high-level mage. What power allowed him to obtain such overwhelming strength?
I don't understand!
Xu Sheng now regrets showing up. He should have stayed with Jiu Ying. No matter what, Jiu Ying would have to take action anyway, and it wouldn't have been his problem.
But regret is useless now; we've already faced it, and there's no escaping it.
"You can step aside now, I won't kill you," Su Ming said calmly.
"Are you kidding me!"
"What are you going there for?!" Xu Sheng asked warily.
"There's an annoying bell I need to ring, and there are some others who need to be rang. As for fate, that's up to them to decide," Su Ming said calmly.
This "he" should be Su Ming, the real him, not the one currently controlled by Xiao Qing.
Some of them have very close relationships with Su Ming, and Xiao Qing cannot decide their fate on her own.
"The Death Bell is related to my life. Do you think I'd let you pass?" Xu Sheng chuckled and swung his Winged Demon Tool, taking a step back.
Fire is useless against Su Ming, water is completely countered, the cursed spider is of little use, and chaos is destroyed by the energy he releases.
From this perspective, Xu Sheng has absolutely no chance of winning, especially if they were outside.
This is an ancient tomb, an underground world, and a clever connection point between the dark and magical planes. It was created by a certain great figure who had no chance to explore outside, but this place is different; perhaps he can give it a try.
The Winged Magic Tool flies incredibly fast; with just a single flap of its wings, it arrived in front of Su Ming, and the Cursed Spider also began to move under forced command.
The cursed spiders and their swarm began to attack Su Ming, whose body was engulfed in flames, and water gushed from the ground, though most of it was useless water.
"Too slow," Su Ming said calmly. In his eyes, Xu Sheng was like a person riding a bicycle trying to compete with a high-speed train. The two were not even in the same league; the difference was too great.
Su Ming raised his hand, preparing to defend himself the instant Xu Sheng approached.
Xu Sheng's attack was blocked, and most of the cursed spiders were cut to death by the wind blades. Only a few survived, but this did not disappoint Xu Sheng. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Su Ming, remember this, this is an ancient tomb, the king's testing ground. It's different here from outside." Xu Sheng looked up; the person he was waiting for had arrived.
This smile surprised Su Ming, and then a hand was placed on his shoulder.
Su Ming turned his head slightly and saw an arm as black as ink, without a trace of life, simply resting on Su Ming's shoulder.
He now possesses some of his former abilities, is incredibly familiar with sensing auras, and would never miss any clue.
Logically, no one should be able to approach him without his knowledge, but now one has appeared.
"What the hell is that?" Su Ming muttered, as the pressure around his body began to increase, making it difficult to stand.
The ground was dented, and many houses collapsed. Unable to withstand the pressure, Xu Sheng was also suppressed.
Even with winged demons, one cannot fly, as if several mountains are piled on one's shoulders—mountains that are invisible and impossible to break through.
All the cursed spiders were wiped out, leaving only the giant spider. This giant spider was not crushed into mincemeat because of its strength, but it was not much better off. Its skin was torn and bleeding, and many of its legs were broken.
Xu Sheng wanted to fly, but the pressure was too great, so he could only kneel on the ground.
However, he was not disappointed. Someone had arrived, and they were allies.
Never mind, Xu Sheng doesn't know if he's an ally or not; at least Su Ming is his enemy now.
When the Old King brought back the Netherworld Bell, he also brought back something else, or rather, a person.
The guardians of the Underworld Bell are dark creatures born alongside it, possessing the power to devour everything.
The darkest being, Paris, has no physical form and can appear in whatever form he desires; his current form is humanoid.
Xu Sheng knew this thing would appear as soon as the Nether Bell was rung, after all, he was the creature most closely related to the Nether Bell.
Normally, Xu Sheng would die at Paris's hands, but now an unexpected change has occurred, with a more threatening figure emerging.
Unlike his theft of the Netherworld Bell's power, the vanished Su Ming genuinely possessed the ability to destroy the Netherworld Bell, making him Paris's first target for elimination.
Even Xu Sheng was pressed to the ground by gravity, but the person behind him was unaffected; his hand was still on Su Ming's shoulder.
He felt a stinging pain in his shoulder, and his body seemed to be turning black, with dark spots beginning to appear on his skin.
Is it poisonous?
"You answered incorrectly. It's just a simple case of water and soil incompatibility, but for you, it's practically the same as being poisoned." The person behind you grinned.
