Tenfold Gravity

In a secluded mountain valley, the clang of metal against metal echoed incessantly. Luo Hao and Zhao Xin, along with two others, had Mu Yu Die surrounded in the center, fending off the relentless barrage from attackers of the Dark Nether.

The tall, gaunt man in grey, whose shoulder bore a silver moon emblem, had eyes as cold and sinister as ice beneath his pale mask. He commanded eight subordinates, who wielded sharp weapons, keeping Luo Hao and his companions firmly encircled.

"Miss Mu, I advise you to return with us to see the Nether Lord. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to account for ourselves," the leader, a tall, gaunt man in grey, said coldly as he directed his subordinates to attack.

Mu Yu Die's pretty face was filled with disgust. She shook her head resolutely and said, "I would rather die here than go back with you!"

"Miss Mu is being uncooperative. In that case, I have no choice but to capture you and complete my mission." The leader paused, then suddenly shouted, "Luo Hao! You should know the strength of our Dark Nether! Opposing us is seeking your own death!"

"Hahaha!" Luo Hao burst into hearty laughter, his voice like a booming bell. "I'm used to being a lone wolf. If your Dark Nether wants to kill me, you'll have to pay a heavy price. As a Nether Moon Envoy of the Dark Nether, with your cultivation at Hundred Tribulations Second Heaven, you're qualified to be my burial companion!"

"You're not worthy of being my burial companion yet." The Nether Moon Envoy shook his head, his body flickering like a ghost.

The next moment, he appeared three meters in front of Luo Hao. He extended his left hand, his fingers like iron hooks, and wisps of chilling green light emanated from them. The green light, like ribbons, suddenly coiled towards Luo Hao.

"Nether God's Green Claw!" Luo Hao's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Zhao Xin, you three protect Xiao Die!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The beating frequency of Luo Hao's heart suddenly increased severalfold! With him at the center, the gravity instantly surged tenfold!

All the Dark Nether Nether Star Envoys around Luo Hao, under the influence of the gravity, felt as if they were carrying an iron mountain on their backs. Their knees bent sharply, and they almost fell to the ground.

Even the Nether Moon Envoy was affected. His body trembled suddenly, and he then snorted coldly, "Luo Hao, I didn't expect your Gravity Martial Soul to advance further, reaching over tenfold gravity. No wonder you're so confident."

"Haha, without some skill, how would I dare to drag you to my burial?" Luo Hao laughed heartily, still wearing a nonchalant smile. However, the broadsword he carried on his shoulder erupted with blue light, and a mountain-like aura suddenly surged from him.

Luo Hao laughed heartily, brandishing his broadsword, and took the lead, blocking in front of Mu Yu Die, directly intercepting the Nether Moon Envoy.

The Nether Moon Envoy unleashed his "Nether God's Green Claw." The wisps of sinister green light were also affected by the tenfold gravity, making them slightly sluggish to control. He could only bend his fingers and meet the attack head-on, surrounding Luo Hao along with three Nether Star Envoys.

"Zhao Xin, take Xiao Die and go!" Luo Hao roared, his aura like a rainbow. The blue light of his broadsword pulsed, and with each swing, it was like streaks of meteors streaking across the sky, actually holding back the other Nether Star Envoys.

Shi Yan abruptly stopped fifty meters behind the Dark Nether envoys, by an ancient tree. Behind the ancient tree, he watched the scene ahead with a stern face, his dark eyes gleaming.

Any one of the Dark Nether Nether Star Envoys possessed Innate Realm cultivation. The Nether Moon Envoy with the silver moon emblem on his shoulder even had the cultivation of Hundred Tribulations Second Heaven. This force was too strong. If he acted rashly, he might be easily dealt with by the Dark Nether before he could even reach Mu Yu Die and the others.

Frowning, a series of thoughts flashed through his mind as Shi Yan searched for a suitable method.

Five seconds later, his eyes lit up. He quietly took off his backpack and clutched the Bone-Corroding Powder, wrapped in soft cloth, in his hand. Crouching low, he silently climbed the ancient tree.

On the tree's long branches, Shi Yan wriggled his body, gradually approaching the combatants.

Bone-Corroding Powder was a poison concocted by Kalu, an alchemist who had strayed from his path. It could cause numbness in the bones and muscles, drastically reducing physical strength. Its effects lasted for three hours, enough to change the course of a battle.

"Zhao Xin! You guys go!" Luo Hao roared, his broadsword gleaming with blue light, holding back nearly ten Dark Nether envoys by himself.

"Miss Mu!" Zhao Xin's face was also filled with urgency as he stomped his foot, "Hurry and go!"

Mu Yu Die's expression was serene, but her eyes were extremely resolute. She said calmly, "I'm not leaving. If you all stay and fight, perhaps you can win. But if all three of you leave, Uncle Luo will surely not be able to escape. Without Uncle Luo, it will be impossible for us to contend with the Dark Nether, and the final outcome will be the same."

"Alright! Then we'll fight to the death!" Zhao Xin was also smart. Hearing her words, he finally made up his mind and shouted, "Di Ya Lan! Hu Long! Let's go!"

The three of them shielded Mu Yu Die in the center, and their sharp weapons suddenly shot through the air, fiercely aimed at the Dark Nether envoys attacking Luo Hao.

"Four of you, go and take care of those three juniors with some effort," the Nether Moon Envoy frowned and ordered coldly. "Do not harm Miss Mu. The Nether Lord has commanded that Miss Mu must be taken back alive, without any damage."

"Yes!" The four Nether Star Envoys shouted in unison and suddenly charged towards Zhao Xin and the other two.

Just then!

A faint, unusual sound suddenly rang out from above everyone's heads. The Nether Moon Envoy, with a sense of foreboding, looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Not good! Dodge quickly!"

Too late!

Grey powder rained down like a fine mist, covering the entire area. Everyone, whether Dark Nether members or Luo Hao, Zhao Xin, and the others, was covered by the grey powder. Not a single person was spared.

The Nether Moon Envoy reacted promptly, holding his breath first and quickly retreating. However, quite a bit of the grey powder still clung to him. The powder had a peculiar penetrating power, seeping into his body through his skin. The Nether Moon Envoy's limbs went numb, his heart sank, and he hurriedly channeled his essence to resist.

The Dark Nether Nether Star Envoys were not as vigilant as he was. Many of them inhaled the Bone-Corroding Powder. The poison, inhaled into their lungs, quickly affected their bodies. In just a few seconds, these people felt their entire bodies go numb, their bones gradually softening, and their strength diminishing.

Luo Hao's expression changed drastically. He was also a victim, feeling his body weaken. While channeling his essence to flow rapidly through his body to resist the poison of the Bone-Corroding Powder, his eyes shot out cold light, looking displeasedly upwards.

A slender figure suddenly emerged from the branches of the ancient tree extending overhead. The person's expression was indifferent, and he suddenly dropped from the tree, landing beside a surprised Mu Yu Die. He casually handed her a medicinal pouch and said calmly, "Inhale the fragrance from this pouch, and the poison of the Bone-Corroding Powder will be instantly resolved."

"How could it be you?" Mu Yu Die's beautiful face, as radiant as the bright moon, was filled with astonishment. She never expected that the person descending from the sky would be Shi Yan.

Staring at him intently, Mu Yu Die was even more surprised. In this meeting, Shi Yan had already reached the Innate Realm. How could this have happened in just a few days?

"Miss has saved me twice, once unintentionally and once intentionally. I remember it deeply." Shi Yan grinned. Seeing her accept the medicinal pouch, he added, "The effect of the Bone-Corroding Powder lasts for three hours. Three hours is not long, nor is it short. Miss should know how to arrange things." A chilling glint flashed in his dark eyes.

"I understand." Mu Yu Die caught on. She wrinkled her delicate nose and took a deep breath of the fragrance from the pouch, immediately handing it to Zhao Xin beside her. "Hurry!"

The Nether Moon Envoy was channeling his essence to resist the poison of the Bone-Corroding Powder. Seeing the situation turn for the worse, he immediately said with a cold face, "Attack! Seize the medicinal pouch! If Luo Hao and the others remove the poison from their bodies, none of you will survive!"

After his cold command, he forcibly channeled his essence and charged towards Luo Hao again.

The Nether Star Envoys also saw the situation clearly. Disregarding the poison on their bodies, they hurriedly surrounded Zhao Xin and his group again, attacking with slightly sluggish movements.

Before Zhao Xin could even take the medicinal pouch from Mu Yu Die, the sky was filled with fierce attacks.

His expression changed, and he had no choice but to abandon taking the pouch from Mu Yu Die, focusing all his mental energy to deal with the desperate attacks of the Nether Star Envoys.

Hu Long and Di Ya Lan were in the same situation. Under the self-sacrificing attacks of the Nether Star Envoys, they didn't even have time to take a breath from the medicinal pouch.

Mu Yu Die held the pouch but couldn't find an opening to pass it on. Her beautiful face gradually showed a look of anxiety, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

In her helplessness, Mu Yu Die could only look towards Shi Yan, the pleading in her beautiful eyes becoming more and more apparent.

Shi Yan's cultivation level wasn't high, but with everyone poisoned by "Bone-Corroding Powder" and unable to mobilize even a sliver of their Essence, he suddenly became crucial.

Under Mu Yu Die's pleading gaze, Shi Yan smiled faintly and naturally asked, "I still don't know the young lady's name?"

"Mu Yu Die."

"A good name."

Shi Yan nodded, his face serious as he committed the name to memory. Under Mu Yu Die's watch, he suddenly darted out!

Wielding a dagger, Shi Yan plunged into the midst of the Nether Star Envoys, his expression cold as he swung the dagger, unleashing streaks of icy, chilling light.

One Nether Star Envoy, who had been most deeply affected by the "Bone-Corroding Powder," instantly sported a deep gash on their neck before falling to the ground, looking up at the sky.

Shi Yan moved like a sharp blade, weaving through the Nether Star Envoys, leaving bloody gashes on their bodies.

"Ugh..." Mu Yu Die brushed a stray strand of hair from her ear, a flicker of surprise in her beautiful eyes, her delicate face displaying a strange expression. "I just, I just wanted him to help pass me the medicine pouch."
