"Phew..."
Watching the Sword Shadow that had cleaved the river of blood and pierced Demon Emperor Black Claw's body, and hearing Zhai Mo's furious roar faintly on the wind, Xu Taiping let out a small breath of relief.
No amount of faith in Great Emperor Mysterious Wasteland could compare to seeing it with his own eyes.
At that moment, Netherworld qi coursed through his body. His black hair had grown down to his heels and danced in the howling wind. The Netherworld qi gathering around him had even taken the form of a great cloak draped over his shoulders.
For a moment, the imposing power radiating from Xu Taiping actually seemed almost on par with that of Great Emperor Mysterious Wasteland's true spirit beside him.
But anyone with discerning eyes knew that the aura Xu Taiping could now exude came entirely from the Netherworld Book of Life and Death in his hand.
"I imagine you all saw what just happened. You need not fear Demon Emperor Black Claw. Tell me of his crimes without hesitation."
"If he is guilty, I will pass judgment."
At that moment, Xu Taiping once again held his engraving knife and used the power of the Heaven-Questioning Bell to address all of Mysterious Wasteland Heaven.
"Immortal sir."
This time, before long, a pleading voice entered Xu Taiping's mind-"I've seen this bad man once. His underlings cut out my parents' tongues and chopped off their hands and feet."
"They also locked all the children from our Luoshui Village in a cellar. Immortal big brother, we haven't had anything to eat or drink for a long time. We're a little thirsty, and a little hungry."
The voice belonged to a little girl of about eight or nine.
Hearing her voice, Xu Taiping extended his perception toward its source.
