Yama Rising

Chapter 512: The Vortex of Fate (2)

These were golden netherflames that were easily a hundred meters high, and extended well into the distance. It even engulfed the entire gate of Hell. Qin Ye stood right in the heart of this sea of flames, basking in the glory of the golden flames. The spear in his hand had vanished completely, yet what was clear was that there was now a bizarre infant sitting atop his shoulder.

This was Qin Ye’s blade release!

RUMBLE!!! It was an earth-shattering sound. Dust and debris were scattered everywhere, while countless grooves and cracks appeared in the ground all around. The terrifying rumble of sonic booms pierced through the air. As soon as Qin Ye unleashed this heaven-defying strike, he, too, turned tail and ran.

So long as I can jump down, I’d be able to escape into Hell. And if they dare to follow me down into the pits of Hell, I’m pretty sure the Harken would immediately move into action and teach him a thing or two about the might and majesty of Hell!

The pit was but a thousand meters away. Given the speed of an Infernal Judge, it was a distance that only required a few seconds. 700 meters… 300 meters… He could already see the gates of Hell right in front of his eyes. It had remained completely intact despite the mighty clash between four Infernal Judges. He knew that he would be safe so long as he leapt straight through the door.

1 meter!

The bottomless abyss was right in front of his eyes.

Damn it!!!

Black Yaksha’s body was now covered with wounds, including puncture wounds from which wisps of Yin energy poured out endlessly. However, Black Yaksha didn’t even seem to mind these in the slightest. Instead, he gasped raggedly as he supported an ancient mirror that hovered right in front of him.

RUN!

But… where am I supposed to go?

There’s no way Black Yaksha is going to relent, especially after what I’ve done. He’s definitely after my life!

Qin Ye’s eyes darted about rapidly, desperately seeking a hiding place that could buy him just five seconds of time. So long as he had that window of time, he would be able to activate the shard of King Yanluo’s Seal and return to Hell. There, he would have his homeground advantage. Unfortunately…

There was nothing but wreckage and ruin around him. Apart from that, he could tell from the sound of Arthis’ duel that she had her hands full as well. There was simply nothing that he could use to buy himself the time he needed!

With that, Black Yaksha picked up the mirror and pointed it directly at Qin Ye.

The ancient mirror appeared completely ordinary.

“What’s this…” He gasped in horror and immediately opened his eyes, only to witness his own shadow being sucked into the heart of the mirror!

That’s my soul…

Black Yaksha hadn’t given him the luxury of even five seconds to escape to the pits of Hell.

Almost as though he’d discovered something startling, Black Yaksha turned back to look at the mirror with an incredulous expression, “Shadow… The thing that was captured was your shadow?! You’ve got a shadow?!”

“Are you a living Emissary of Hell?!”

“The living… would last no more than dozens of seconds. To think that I’d actually managed to nab us such a priceless target this time…”

Qin Ye froze.

Black Yaksha also froze.

It was the sound of a gun being cocked.

They had all… forgotten about the existence of a person.

Black Yaksha’s pupils instantly narrowed, and his hair immediately stood on end. But before he could even say a word, his head jerked forward slightly.

Just then, a female voice spoke from behind Black Yaksha’s back, “Smith & Wesson Model 500 firing the .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum cartridges. It generates a muzzle energy of over 3,030 foot-pounds force, more than twice that of the renowned Desert Eagle. These bullets are loaded with the ashes of the monks of Mount Koya. Even I only have two such bullets with me.” It was none other than Lee Jung-sook from the basket formed entirely out of Black Yaksha’s hair.

Qin Ye’s jaws dropped, completely astounded by the sheer audacity of her actions. Black Yaksha raised his hands, and his body trembled wildly. At once, he ceased channeling his Yin energy into the Eight-Foot Mirror, and Qin Ye’s image inside the mirror promptly faded away.

BANG!! BANG!!

“You’re Qin Ye?” The hair binding up Lee Jung-sook in the basket promptly fell away, and she jumped down to the ground, “You’re not worthy of me at all.”

As she spoke, Qin Ye suddenly gasped. Lee Jung-sook froze for a moment, and then rolled to the side without any hesitation.

BOOM! Just then, a terrifying source of Yin energy erupted from Qin Ye’s left, and Crow Tengu rushed over like a bolt of lightning, “Hoo… What happened?!”

Yet, Black Yaksha didn’t look at him in the slightest bit. Instead, he kept his eyes dead on Lee Jung-sook. A split second later, he vanished with a sharp whistle, and appeared right behind Lee Jung-sook.

Qin Ye’s lips parted, but he wasn’t able to say a single word.

“I’ve been patient with you time and time again… but do you really think that we wouldn’t dare to kill you?!” He plunged his claw straight into Lee Jung-sook’s back and right through her chest.

Are you dead?

You’re a woman who has lived for seven lifetimes… How are you unable to put up any resistance in the slightest? How can you be dead?

He subconsciously reached out as he watched Lee Jung-sook’s body turn into wisps of Yin energy. And then, he suddenly froze and did a double take at the sight.

At once, he jolted right back to his senses, only to discover…

Lee Jung-sook’s corpse had simply dissipated into a cloud of Yin energy without a single trace of blood!

Spirit of a brush…

Things had happened so quickly that none of them were able to react to the situation.

“Worthless!!!” The white hair of his body stood on end, “Didn’t you kill Lee Jung-sook’s guardian spirit back then?!”

“That day… time was too tight… hoo… and I didn’t have the luxury of time to do it…”

“Look!!! Look at what's going on here!!” He lifted Crow Tengu straight towards Hell’s gate.

The tide of lantern-toting Yin spirits in Martial City were currently only a thousand meters away from Hell’s gate!
