Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 944 – Who Are You

An Zheng summoned his Reverse Scale Armor and covered his body with it. No matter what clothes he had, there was no meaning in the poisonous water. He just stepped into the water. The water was dark green in color, and there were quite a few small insects bobbing up and down inside it. The moment An Zheng’s feet entered the water, a lot of bugs swarmed over. It looked like a small insect, but when it opened its mouth, it was filled with sharp teeth.

They could do nothing as they were unable to bite An Zheng’s skin, not to mention that An Zheng still had the Reverse Scale Armor which was in his absolute defense. The difference between water and fire was that it could permeate through the body. If this was a fire field, An Zheng wouldn’t even need to think about it. But the water was different. The water could enter through the gaps in the Reverse Scale Armor, and so could those small worms. Their bodies could actually be stretched to the extreme, and they were like thin pieces that drilled into the Reverse Scale Armor s.

If it was before An Zheng went to hell, he would not be able to enter this poisonous water. Maybe the heavens had made arrangements for many things. Although he had lost his Cultivation Power, he could become a demigod. In the current cultivation world, An Zheng’s body was the strongest. Even if he was the ruler of the Western Regions, Buddha, the ruler of the Central Plains, Chen Wunuo, the ruler of the Frozen Land, or that extremely mysterious strategist … In terms of physique, she could not even compare to An Zheng.

Those little bugs started to bite but were unable to do so. This did not mean that An Zheng was not in pain. He knew that he had to pass through as soon as possible. The longer he delayed, the more serious the damage to his body would be. So it was only a test, An Zheng immediately stepped into the water. The water only reached his knees at first, but after walking seven or eight steps, it started to get deeper and deeper. Soon, it reached his abdomen, then his chest.

More and more bugs began to gather in the poisonous water, and layer after layer of fine bubbles started to form on the surface of the water.

“Be careful!”

Du Shoushou shouted loudly, and everyone’s heart rose to their throats.

Everyone watched nervously as An Zheng walked into the water, and all of their faces became exceptionally pale.

An Zheng discovered that the resistance of the poisonous water was much greater than ordinary water. With his physique, quickly passing through the water shouldn’t be too difficult for him. However, the density of the water was too high, when An Zheng walked forward, it was as though his entire body was buried in the sand, as though he was walking forward.

Perhaps many people would have this fear of deep water. When they encountered a puddle in the wild and had to enter it, they couldn’t help but wonder if there was any kind of terrifying existence in the water. For example … Water Serpent.

If they were to suddenly step on something slippery while walking in the water, most people would probably scream in fear.

At this moment, An Zheng had this feeling. His feet seemed to have stepped on something as his body slipped and he almost fell down. This was because the Mask Armour had the least tight defense. If one fell into the water, the poison would enter the nose, ears, or eyes and mouth. One could imagine the consequences if that happened.

An Zheng immediately stabilised his body, suddenly his calf tensed up, followed by something that coiled around from below, and quickly moved to his upper body.

Puff! The thing stuck its head out from the water surface and circled around An Zheng’s body.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Gu Qianye screamed in fear, her face turning extremely pale.

“Be careful!”

Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai shouted together, “Behind you!”

A black serpent came out of the water, its body coiled around An Zheng’s body, and when it raised its triangular head, it was as big as a foot. The snake’s eyes were covered by a layer of something. After it came out of the water, the layer of something lifted up, revealing the blood-red eyes inside. The viper’s tongue stuck out and touched the back of An Zheng’s neck. Even though he was separated by a Reverse Scale Armor, An Zheng still felt a chill on the back of his neck.

The scales of the huge snake were actually moving up and down. Every scale was like a buckle, tightly locking its prey.

An Zheng stood there without moving, the huge snake’s body slowly went around, and its snake head turned in front of An Zheng. The snake’s eyes stared straight into An Zheng’s eyes. This was probably the first time An Zheng met the snake’s gaze at the closest distance.

With a sou sound, the snake suddenly moved, and bit towards An Zheng’s face. At this distance, the snake’s movement speed surpassed most of the cultivators in the world. In the blink of an eye, An Zheng turned his head to the side to dodge, then raised his hand to catch the snake. However, at this moment, bubbles started to float up on the surface of the water around them. The body of the huge snake appeared from under the water … Everyone was frightened. It was a suffocating scene.

The huge snake’s body was actually as thick as a bucket, and around An Zheng’s body, there was one, two, three … Eight snake heads rose to the surface of the water in succession. Including the previous one, there werotal of nine snake heads. A body with nine heads. Who had ever seen such a monster before?

The water bucket sized snake body wrapped around An Zheng’s body, quickly locking him in place. How terrifying would the strength of suchick snake be when being restrained? Even the Reverse Scale Armor was making ‘ka ka’ sounds. The sound of the armor being compressed seemed like it couldn’t take the pressure anymore.

In that moment, An Zheng felt suffocated, as if all the bones in his body were broken. If it was an ordinary python, even if it was an ordinary demonic beast, forget about the thickness of a bucket, even if it was as thick as two people hugging each other, with An Zheng’s physique, he could easily shatter it. However, the snake’s body was too tough, An Zheng tried to raise both of his arms, but he was tightly restrained and could not move at all.

The nine snake heads surrounded An Zheng, the scarlet light in their eyes incomparably terrifying.

An Zheng clenched his teeth and used his strength to push it away. The giant serpent felt An Zheng’s resistance and thus became irritable, its body continuously twisted and rolled in the water while An Zheng’s body also started to flip along with the snake body.

A streak of white light could be seen in an instant. The bone jade hit the giant snake’s body with a “pa” sound, creating a bloody hole. No matter how tough its scales were, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from Gu Yu. The giant serpent’s body twisted in pain. An Zheng took the opportunity to take his right hand out, and the Broken Army Sword fiercely stabbed it downwards with his hand … All the swords entered the body of the giant snake, causing black and red blood to spurt out.

Yet that blood was actually as blazing as lava, when the blood sprayed onto An Zheng’s Reverse Scale Armor, it even produced a puff of green smoke. When the blood flowed into the water, the poisonous water immediately began to boil. As the water heated up, the poison in the water started to turn into poison gas and float up. An Zheng’s head was covered in the poison gas.

In that moment, An Zheng felt his head sink. If not for him taking all of the Poison dispelling pellets that Qu Liuxi gave him earlier, he would have been poisoned and poured them all into the water.

Taking advantage of the moment when the giant serpent was in pain to flip over, An Zheng broke free from the encirclement. The Broken Army Sword kept on attacking and chopped off four or five of the nine heads of the giant serpent. Blood kept spraying out from the necks of the broken snakes. It was as if there was no one supporting them and they were moving around randomly.

An Zheng tried his best to avoid the poisonous blood, and broke free from the water with a bit of his feet. He stepped on the giant serpent’s body to insert the Broken Army Sword downwards, and then swept forward like lightning. Witiss, the body of the huge snake was cut open by An Zheng’s Broken Army Sword. The viscous internal organs flowed out from the poisonous water with bubbles popping out. An Zheng did not dare to delay any longer, his foot lightly tapped on the huge snake’s body and it flew out horizontally.

Right at this moment, the giant serpent’s tail suddenly curled up, and swept onto An Zheng’s back. The force of the heavy blow was too great, causing An Zheng’s body to be ruthlessly sent flying. At the same time, most of the snake’s body emerged from the water. Only then did everyone clearly see that beneath the snake’s body wauge ball of flesh. The ball of meat had a single eye, which was as big as a washbasin, and it looked at An Zheng sinisterly.

In the instant that An Zheng was sent flying by the snake tail, a hole opened up in the ball of meat. A purplish black tongue quickly extended out from the ball of meat and wrapped An Zheng’s body in mid air. The tongue was filled with sharp barbs, and the moment it wrapped around An Zheng, the sound of the barbed sword rubbing against the Reverse Scale Armor caused his scalp to tingle.

An Zheng turned back as the number of circles on his tongue continued to increase. When An Zheng turned it over, he saw that there was something dark red flickering in its open mouth.

“Fuck you!”

An Zheng suddenly took the initiative to increase his speed. He was initially being carried back, but now he brought his tongue and rushed into the meat ball’s mouth. In the air, An Zheng threw the Broken Army Sword out. “Here you go! I’ll give it to you! All of them are for you! ”

Po Jun, Heaven’s Kill, Tian Tu, and Tian Shu. The four godly swords were like four bolts of lightning as they charged into the flesh ball’s mouth. The first sword strike stabbed into the dark red ball of light in the flesh ball’s mouth, then the third sword strike pierced through it completely. A large amount of black blood burst out, and the ball of meat gave out a shrill howl as it deflated. An Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, and a dark red bead was grabbed by him from the blood mist.

An Zheng recalled all four swords back and quickly left the poisonous water.

Qu Liuxi and the others were completely terrified, they were extremely tense, and only after seeing that An Zheng had killed the monster did they heave a sigh of relief.

“Are you alright?”

Qu Liuxi shouted with her hoarse voice.

“I’m fine.”

An Zheng climbed up the stairs and sat down to catch his breath. He lowered his head and looked at the pearl in his hand. It was as big as an egg and looked round and smooth. Although it was not bright, it had a breathtaking beauty to it. An Zheng realised that since he was holding onto the pearl, all of the bugs that had gathered around him avoided it. The bugs that were drilling into his Reverse Scale Armor also crazily crawled out of the water.

After resting for a while, he turned around and walked inside. Behind the stairs waassage. It was not very long, only about seven to eight meters. The poison didn’t spread to much, just past the soles of his feet. An Zheng went over to push open the prison door. The light inside was extremely dim, making people uncomfortable. Behind the door was a flight of stairs. After descending about seven to eight meters, they arrived at the true water prison. As An Zheng just entered, he heard a burst of “hualala” sounds. It was the sound of chains shaking.

An Zheng raised his head and looked in the opposite direction. He saw a man with a disheveled appearance, nailed to the ground by a few purple chains and his entire body had already become as thin as a skeleton. The person suddenly raised his head to look at An Zheng, his eyes filled with shock and supplication.

“Who are you?”

An Zheng subconsciously asked, the man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no matter what he did, he could only let ouissing sound, and could not say a single word. An Zheng saw the begging look in his eyes, but he was unsure of the identity of this person, so An Zheng did not dare to rashly go and save him.

“You were held here by a man in a white robe?”

An Zheng asked again.

The man immediately nodded his head vigorously. His neck was still missing a bit of flesh, so he could see the neck moving up and down. It was a very terrifying sight to behold.

An Zheng saw that the person’s body was filled with little bugs. When he walked over with the bead in his hand, those little bugs crawled out as if they had seen their natural enemy. The expression on the man’s face relaxed a little. It was obvious that these worms had brought him endless pain.

A bug crawled out of his neck and quickly crawled away. His throat made a few “ka ka” sounds as if he was getting used to it.

“You …”

A dry, raw syllable came out of his mouth, and he was visibly excited.

“You … “Who is it?”

An Zheng shook his head. “Who are you?”

The man was silent for a moment before he uttered two words with great difficulty.

“Xuan-Yuan...”
