Chapter 1172 - 1172: I Don't Care for Your Terms

Liu Zixuan could sense that a group of brothers were all on the brink of death, barely clinging to their last breath.

They were good brothers who had accompanied him through life and death, and now each one was in a sorry state, suffering such severe injuries. How could he not be enraged!

His clone appeared for less than a hundred days, yet died at the hands of the Netherworld Emperor. How could Liu Zixuan not seek revenge!

After blasting the Netherworld Emperor's clone with a punch, Liu Zixuan shouted, and the Nameless Sword flew back to his hand from the mountain wall on one side.

The sword's blade gently hummed, and a chill surged forth, directly cleaving toward the Netherworld Emperor's true form.

Pucha!

An arm suddenly fell to the ground, and the Netherworld Emperor let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Seeing the blood gushing out, the Netherworld Emperor glared at Liu Zixuan: "Liu Zixuan, how dare you sever this Emperor's arm!"

"Blasting your clone was to avenge the death of my clone, severing your arm is because you harmed Huzi."

Pucha!

With another sword strike, the Netherworld Emperor's other arm also fell: "This is for Zhao Yi."

Kacha!

Kacha!

Two consecutive blood trails appeared in the air, and the Netherworld Emperor's legs were also chopped off by Liu Zixuan: "This is for Xiao Hu and Yunxuan!"

At this moment, the Netherworld Emperor was not dead; firstly, because he had already reached the half-step Life and Death Realm, losing limbs wouldn't directly kill him; secondly, the Ghost Gate Needle Array restrained him, making it hard for him to die even if he wanted to.

But now, without arms and legs, he was like a person in ancient times subjected to the punishment of dismemberment by five horses.

The pain had left him numb, and besides weak breathing, he seemed unable to do anything else.

Liu Zixuan walked over step by step, placing the sword blade directly against the Netherworld Emperor's neck.

"Do you know why I chose to fight here?" The Netherworld Emperor was in pain initially but seemed more relieved when Liu Zixuan approached.

"It's nothing more than coveting the treasure of Star Sea Yudu," Liu Zixuan snorted coldly. The reason he didn't kill with one sword was to find out about the treasure from his mouth.

The Netherworld Emperor feigned mystery and said, "Let me go, and I'll tell you where the treasure is!"

"Do you think that's possible?" Liu Zixuan's sword edge moved slightly, already cutting through the skin of his neck, with some blood seeping out.

The Netherworld Emperor grinned: "Liu Zixuan, few know about the Yudu Treasure, probably only those like the Old Qing in Star Sea. But you also understand, now that they are dead, gone, or wounded, the chance of learning from them is very small. Besides them, it's only me."

"Do you think I would release you because of that?" Liu Zixuan cursed coldly.

"You may not release me, but you must be clear about the consequences. If you kill me here, it doesn't mean that the Netherworld Hall will be destroyed. In the martial realms of various countries, I have placed pawns. Once I die, they will receive the message and inevitably come to Star Sea to assassinate you repeatedly."

The Netherworld Emperor's face was full of arrogance, seemingly believing he had found Liu Zixuan's weakness.

He continued to threaten: "Now, Star Sea's martial realm can be described as full of wounds. Not to mention how much damage you have caused, major hidden sects and family sects are already damaged. Even if there are survivors, they are wounded soldiers. Do you think any storm can be raised?"

"Your threats have no effect on me." Liu Zixuan's eyes shot out killing intent, speaking coldly: "Daring to kill you means I can bear any consequences. From today, completely eradicating your Netherworld Hall will be my ultimate goal!"

The Netherworld Emperor sneered strangely: "People from the Netherworld Hall cannot threaten you, but what about the martial realms worldwide?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Zixuan felt that this person's words were not just a threat, but had deeper meaning.

"Do you think that my subordinates Azuo and Ayou possess Soul Split but my son doesn't?"

The Netherworld Emperor smiled meaningfully: "To be honest, I have already told my son about the treasure's secret in Yudou Mountain Range long before coming out. Although his true form was killed by you in the Willow Association, his clone still lives. Now the realm is no longer important to him, he just needs to tell the martial realm people about the treasure's secret. At that time, it won't just be the Netherworld Hall coming to settle accounts with you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan frowned deeply.

This despicable scoundrel, if the treasure's secret becomes known worldwide, the Star Sea Yudou Mountain Range will become a gathering place for martial artists worldwide, and the ensuing danger will be tenfold or a hundredfold of what it currently is.

Without a doubt, destroying the small hornet's nest of the Netherworld would be like poking a much larger hornet's nest.

"So, do I now have the qualifications to negotiate with you?"

The Netherworld Emperor smiled faintly.

Liu Zixuan raised his head: "How do you want to negotiate?"

"Very simple, first, put down the sword in your hand. I pose no threat to you now, no need to brandish weapons."

Feeling that as long as Liu Zixuan relented, everything would be negotiable.

Liu Zixuan slowly put away the Nameless Sword: "And then?"

"Even simpler, I'll tell you the treasure's secret, we'll go in together to find the treasure, you take half, I take half."

"But in this way, it seems you are still the winner." Liu Zixuan shrugged.

"Of course. Out of gratitude, I can promise you that after returning to the Netherworld Hall, I will not invade the Star Sea martial realm any further. It will be your domain, and I will go to other countries. We will not interfere with each other. If you still have ambitions, we can also join forces to dominate the martial realms worldwide."

The Netherworld Emperor raised his head as if feeling mighty, exuding a sense of unrestrained awe.

Liu Zixuan's lips moved: "Then tell me where the treasure is first."

"You are smart, and I'm not stupid. Do you think I'll tell you now?" The Netherworld Emperor glanced at the Ghost Gate Needle Array beside him, indicating he would only talk after Liu Zixuan let him go, ensuring his safety.

"Since you won't say, there's no need to negotiate!"

Liu Zixuan slowly raised his head, killing intent surged in his eyes, and the Ghost Gate Needle Array turned into thirteen attacks, directly striking the Netherworld Emperor.

"Liu Zixuan, you will regret this!" The Netherworld Emperor didn't expect Liu Zixuan to actually attack, panicking.

Pucha! Pucha...!

Thirteen consecutive attacks completely destroyed the Netherworld Emperor into smithereens, scattered by the wind throughout the valleys.

Liu Zixuan took a deep breath: "I will not regret. I, Liu Zixuan, have no great ambitions, and do not wish for dominance. The treasure belongs to Star Sea, and I do not wish to obtain it, but to protect it. So, I'm not interested in your conditions!"
