Chapter 442 "The Dark Horse"

To have "Wu Chong"s" name so abruptly yelled out into the open here, it"s only normal that the Reaper Amba.s.sadors patrolling the area would instantly shoot their attentions over. It"s not a taboo to address the Ghost Emperor by his name, but that"s under the condition that the individual was out in the outside world. Here, in these cities, Wu Chong was king, the absolute ruler, meaning what Bo Qing did there was equivalent to an insult.

“If you want to go back then you can go back alone, I must find that Wu Chong and get revenge for Thirteen." Flaring up with hatred in his eyes, Bo Qing instantly shot down the idea.

Seeing how his young lord wouldn"t listen to his persuasion, the Guardian can only exhale a sigh of helplessness.

It can"t be helped. In his sixteen years of being alive, the girlish looking boy had never truly hated a person so much before. The reasoning? It"s because the lad still believes the Ghost Emperor killed his one and only love.

Back then after returning from that venture in the Tai Yi School"s secret land, much thanks due to Fire Granny"s effort of retrieving the boy, the lad had been overwhelmed with grief ever since. One part was due to Bo Qing"s pride in being defeated so easily by Wu Chong"s aura, the other being the loss of Ling Yue"s supposed corpse that he couldn"t retrieve in the last moment.

With all these indignations combined together, it has undoubtedly left a huge scar on the lad"s heart, which also had the direct effect of changing Bo Qing"s personality from the lazy and frivolous nature to a totally new hard working type.

But of all the changes that occurred though, the most drastic had to be the lad"s dress code. No longer wearing that enchanting and s.e.xy dress, the boy had reverted back to his male clothes, something almost never before done since his childhood.

Then there"s also his cultivation. Back then Bo Qing could hardly be called a master with his level of martial arts, but now…. In merely half a year, this lad had directly broken into the third element of the reincarnation realm! Such progress absolutely astounded the Four Guardians.

But feeling sorry for the boy was one thing, it"s another thing entirely to go on these dangerous ventures within enemy territory. It"s unsure where Bo Qing managed to learn of the existence of these eighteen Underground Cities, but ever since then the lad"s been visited each one feverously.

The logic behind Bo Qing"s idea was simple: even if he can"t defeat Wu Chong the b.a.s.t.a.r.d in his current state, he can at least beat up some of his subordinates or muster up a ruckus in his home turf. That way he will be able to draw out the man himself after getting the person"s attention.

And just like that, the lad had rampaged across eight other cities prior to his visit on this Underground City #9. He"s only been here for ten days and Bo Qing had already killed ten reincarnation masters and injured forty opponents, which instantly turned him into the new s.h.i.+ning dark horse of the month.

And as a side achievement, the lad had also inexplicably became the seventh rank holder of the Reincarnation Ranking Board in the Qing Continent!

After the departure of Ling Yue and Bo Qing"s group - front and back – Hong Ming Yue and Luo Song"s group had also come out of the Underground City after facing a fierce fight for the night.

But there"s also something else the man had learned tonight. During the intense fight back there in the high level area, Ming Yue actually revealed her undiscovered vicious side! For example, Luo Song can clearly tell his junior sister"s opponent was incapacitated already at the end, yet the girl still followed up with another killing blow.

It was unnecessary and everyone knew it.

“As long as it is a place where I can increase my cultivation then I"m willing to go anywhere. Brother Song, you know it too. My family is currently facing an unprecedented crisis from the inside and outside. I can"t afford to slack off while the Royal Compet.i.tion of Da Xia is only several months away." From Hong Ming Yue"s eyes, a brutal and vicious light could easily be discerned from within.

This Underground City really is a great place….. Just like her companion there, the la.s.s also noticed her dark side with this trip into the underground world.

That"s right, the sound of bone crunching and the sound of her opponent"s pleading last words were the greatest melody to her ears.

“Junior Sister, with your talent such a small tiny compet.i.tion is nothing to be fretting about. I suggest we focus our attention on this Underground City instead and bring in some decent artifacts for use." Dismissing the woes of the girl, Luo Song turns his attention to the prizes at hand instead. In his view, Hong Ming Yue was already the prize taker of that contest.

Just like that, all three groups had left the Underground City for the night. Unbeknownst to them all though, their every actions and moves had been closely monitored the entire night by the ghost fires floating in the air.

“It seems a couple of interesting hamsters had made their way into my abode this time. Hoho, I guess I won"t be bored for the next little while then."

If only Ling Yue were to meet this individual that"s currently residing within the tallest tower of this Underground City, then without a doubt, she would"ve exclaimed with clear fright in her voice. Though this man wasn"t anything like Wu Chong, but that aura and that mask was all too familiar. If there"s any difference that could be picked out then it would be his mask, it was silver instead of gold!
