Chapter 505: Battle with the God of Death
Xijin City.
San Jiu’s Rustic Restaurant.
Zuo Qing pushed open the glass door and stepped into the empty restaurant, heading straight for the kitchen.
It wasn’t mealtime, and aside from San Jiu, who was reading a newspaper, there were no other customers in the place.
“Hello, how many people are you?”
Seeing a guest, San Jiu smiled and stood up.
“Sorry, I’m looking for someone.” Zuo Qing smiled politely, then lifted the cloth covering the kitchen door and quickly walked inside.
San Jiu clicked his tongue, realizing she wasn’t there to eat, and wobbled back to his seat.
“Zuo Qing?”
Yeh Fan, who was rolling up his sleeves to wash dishes, looked up in surprise upon seeing her, then his expression turned serious. “Something happened?”
Zuo Qing nodded and handed a document to Yeh Fan.
“Two minutes ago, there was a powerful divine energy fluctuation in Lintang City. After analysis, it was determined to be the Egyptian god of the underworld, Osiris, designated as Divine Code 029.”
“Osiris?” Yeh Fan, ignoring the water on his hands, quickly flipped through the document. “Why is there no movement at the border?”
“Someone set up an altar in Lintang City and summoned him directly.”
After reading all the documents, Yeh Fan furrowed his brow.
“Why now of all times…”
“Could it be that those Outer Gods have figured something out?”
Yeh Fan pondered for a moment. “It seems likely. Otherwise, how would they dare to bring Osiris here directly? If that’s the case… things could get troublesome.”
“There’s still half a year until the time set by the Celestial Sovereign. If those Outer Gods really attack during this period, what should we do?”
“Half a year…”
Yeh Fan sighed deeply. “Restoring the Heavenly Court’s core is a process of reshaping the Great Dao. It cannot be interrupted or disturbed by outside forces. During this time, all the gods of the Great Xia involved in the restoration cannot intervene…
If something really happens, we’ll have to rely on ourselves.”
“Relying on humanity to fight against the gods…” Zuo Qing shook her head bitterly. “If it were just one or two gods, it might be manageable, but if it escalates into a large-scale divine war, how could we possibly withstand it?”
Yeh Fan patted Zuo Qing’s shoulder, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly. “Zuo Qing, others may be afraid… but we cannot be. Even if the sky falls, it must be us who bear it.”
Zuo Qing took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and nodded.
“So what should we do now? The Sword Saint is already confronting Osiris, but he can only hold him off at most; he can’t kill a Nine-Pillar God. If this drags on, Osiris will eventually catch on.”
Yeh Fan walked to the window and looked up at the sky, calmly saying:
“There is a Great Xia god who did not participate in the restoration of the Heavenly Court. With him around… Osiris won’t be able to stir up much trouble.”
…
Lintang City.
The god of the underworld, Osiris, hovered in the air, his pale eyes fixed on the young man with the sword on his back, his withered face betraying no emotion.
“A human, yet you have come this far… you surprise me.”
His hoarse voice echoed in the air.
Zhou Ping remained silent.
“You must be the strongest among humans, right?” Osiris continued. “Unfortunately, you still lack something to defeat me.”
Zhou Ping slowly spoke, “How would I know without trying?”
Ding——!!
A crisp sound of a sword ringing erupted from the sword sheath on his back, mingled with a faint dragon’s roar, resonating through the clouds.
【Dragon Elephant】 unsheathed!
Zhou Ping gripped the sword hilt with one hand and stepped forward!
Before he could swing the long sword, a massive sword scar had already split the thick clouds apart, the chilling sword energy aimed directly at Osiris’s face, bursting forth in an instant!
Osiris stood in the air, unmoving, as he gently raised his curved staff and pointed it at the void before him.
A strange, ghostly glow erupted from the tip of the staff.
In an instant, the pitch-black sky turned into an eerie grayish-white, as if covered by a thin veil, while the invisible sword energy emitted a black light, freezing in mid-air, strikingly conspicuous.
As Osiris lowered his staff, the black sword energy shattered inch by inch, causing the surrounding air to vibrate with a buzzing sound, dissipating without a trace.
Zhou Ping’s brow furrowed slightly.
That last sword strike, though merely a probe, made him feel that Osiris’s divine power was deep and unfathomable, much stronger than the Poseidon he had encountered before.
Now, he needed to get serious.
His eyes narrowed slightly, an unprecedented sword intent blossomed from his gaze. He lightly traced the tip of his sword, instantly slicing through space, his figure vanishing from the spot.
The next moment, behind Osiris, a dazzling sword light erupted like a blazing sun!
Boom——!!
In the center of the pitch-black ghost city suspended in the clouds, a two-kilometer-long sword scar was forcibly carved out, the rolling sword energy filling the sky like an ocean of sword energy cascading down from the heavens, surging endlessly.
In the underworld, two figures, one black and one white, alternated at a dizzying speed.
Thunderous sounds echoed from the clouds.
In the ruins, Lin Qiye and the others looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock.
They knew the Sword Saint was strong,
But they never expected him to be this powerful.
“Going head-to-head with the god of the underworld…” Bai Li Pang Pang swallowed hard, murmuring, “Sword Saint, are you really human?”
“Probably,” Lin Qiye nodded. “After all, gods shouldn’t be socially anxious.”
“This is the might of humanity’s strongest combat power…”
Cao Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
Who would have thought that Zhou Ping, who diligently swept the floor and washed dishes in the warehouse, was now clashing head-on with a god of the underworld?
Lin Qiye and the others looked at the sword-wielding figure in the sky, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of pride.
This fierce person fighting against the gods up there was their teacher.
With the Sword Saint as their teacher, wouldn’t they be able to walk sideways in the Great Xia in the future?!
…
In the underworld.
Zhou Ping swung his sword, leveling a large area of ghostly creatures before him. Osiris flickered into the sky, and a serious expression finally appeared on his withered face.
Dense death energy rolled around Zhou Ping but could not approach his body at all.
He stood there like a sword.
A sword that was sharp and exuded a murderous aura.
Osiris remained silent for a long time, his pale eyes narrowing slightly. He extended his palm and reached toward the modern world above.
The world turned gray and white again, as strange laws of power flowed, and phantoms were drawn from the city, flowing toward the suspended underworld.
Those were the souls of the dying.
Though their physical lifespans were nearing their end, they had not yet died. The connection between these souls and their bodies was gradually fading. Under Osiris’s law power, this connection was forcibly severed, dragging the souls out of their bodies and guiding them into the air…
They floated in the air in terror, seemingly trying to break free from this bondage, but under the pull of the law power, they couldn’t move an inch.
At that moment, a silver sphere appeared in the sky, six circular rings revolving around its surface, spinning in a chaotic manner.
Another wave of law power suddenly descended!
