Chapter 428: Fighting All Around

The moment the doors to the Yanluo Court closed, Xiao Nanfeng took a deep breath. His plan had succeeded—manipulating the Yanluo Lords against each other, tossing out bait, and adding fuel to fire. He would be safe for the moment.

As for the seal on his body, that didn't matter at all. He switched to his physical body.

"He's planning to resist! Stop him!" a horse-headed humanoid cried out.

Ten golden crows shot out. The horse-headed humanoids that had rushed over were sent flying, but there were simply too many of them this time around.

In the blink of an eye, the ten golden crows were restrained, and Xiao Nanfeng was surrounded by a group of horse-headed humanoids.

"Die!"

"You dare resist? Attack him together!"

The horse-headed humanoids leapt at Xiao Nanfeng.

"Kill!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

He drew the divine undying blade and instantly killed the horse-headed humanoid at the forefront, but they came in such great numbers and were able to heal their cursed spiritual avatars near-immediately that even he was overwhelmed. Even the blood peach tree didn't dare absorb the defeated right then and there.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned Lady Yaoguang from the Divine Seal of Dazheng.

"Yaoguang, I need your help!" Xiao Nanfeng called out.

Lady Yaoguang's blue moon barrier was something even the Horse Yanluo couldn't break. He was certain she would be able to help.

Lady Yaoguang stepped out and widened her eyes at the scene before them. "Nanfeng, you're already an Earth Immortal?"

Xiao Nanfeng smiled and was just about to say something when Lady Yaoguang continued, "You're almost half as strong as I am now!"

Xiao Nanfeng: ...

He didn't know what to say. Despite the fact that they hadn't met in years, Lady Yaoguang's personality didn't seem to have changed much.

"Be careful! There's a cursed effigy headed your way," Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

Lady Yaoguang focused and drew a blue sword. "Evil, begone."

The horse-headed humanoid was instantly cut apart by a blue slash. He shrieked, large quantities of smoke emanating where he had been cut. He seemed unable to regenerate for a long time.

"Die!" Lady Yaoguang shouted, rushing forward with her sword.

Where the blue sword struck, the horse-headed humanoids were all cut apart, one slash for every cursed effigy. The sword never missed; compared to the horse-headed humanoids' own Immortal weapons, the blue sword was clearly superior. It met no resistance whatsoever.

"He's rushing toward his Yanluo Court again. Stop him!" the Monkey Yanluo howled.

"He won't succeed. At best, he can only control it remotely," the Ox Yanluo replied.

The Horse Yanluo roared, "You dare rob me? Dream on! This is the nexus of my power!"

"If you can't interact with your Yanluo Court, everything's useless," the Ox Yanluo retorted.

Just then, a huge commotion rang out from below the Yanluo Court. A huge firestorm formed in the air.

"More Yanluo Lords?" the Horse Yanluo raged.

"King, it's the Dog Yanluo! He's trying to run off with the Yanluo Court!" an ox-headed humanoid reported from down below.

"Haha, Dog Yanluo, you're here too? You hid so well I didn't even notice you. Well done. Take his Yanluo Court away and prevent him from using it ever again! Don't worry, we'll hold him back!" The Ox Yanluo laughed.

"Hold it!" the Horse Yanluo roared.

However, with the two Yanluo Lords opposing him, there was little he could do.

As time progressed, more and more cursed effigies of immense strength gathered in the capital of Wu. If the Horse Yanluo were to seize the Dragon Yanluo for himself and disrupt the balance of the Netherworld Palace, everyone else would suffer. As a result, the Yanluo Lords all struck ruthlessly at the Horse Yanluo.

Afar, the Dog Yanluo continued to attack the Yanluo Court. If he could claim the Yanluo Court and drag it away, the cloud of annihilation would rain down on Wu, and the Horse Yanluo would lose the source of his power.

"Volcanic realm of hell, seal the Yanluo Court!" the Horse Yanluo shouted.

Heaven and earth collapsed around the Yanluo Court as endless flames burst out from underground, roaring up into the air in a giant plume that covered the Yanluo Court.

The next moment, the cloud of annihilation overhead began to roil. A copy of Heaven's Hand emerged and headed straight for the sea of flames.

"Beware!" the cursed effigies shouted.

The cursed effigies in the sea of flames found themselves caught by Heaven's Hand and smashed into powder.

The cursed effigies all around retreated from the sea of flames in fear, and the Heaven's Hand likewise returned to the cloud of annihilation.

"Horse Yanluo, are you trying to emulate the Dragon Yanluo? You're using the shards of the volcanic hell to seal your Yanluo Court away?" the Dog Yanluo thundered.

"My formation does emulate the sea of karmic flame. If you want to try to seize my Yanluo Court, it might only heavily wound you. Why don't you give it a try?" the Horse Yanluo suggested with a smile.

"Do you think I can't do anything against you?!"

The Dog Yanluo leapt into the air and joined the two other Yanluo Lords in attacking the Horse Yanluo, while no cursed effigy dared brave the sea of flames below.

Just then, Xiao Nanfeng stepped out of the Yanluo Court and was completely immersed in raging flames.
