Chapter 385: Immortality, the King of the Underworld’s Skill

Clatter, clatter…
The dark, majestic hoofprints entered the forest one after another, moving as smoothly as if on flat ground, racing like lightning.
The one in front was clad in golden armor; the one behind wore silver armor, wielding a sword and riding closely behind at a distance of over twenty meters, scanning the surroundings.
They had been riding for nearly an hour—shouldn’t they have caught up to Huang Sha and the others by now?
As this thought flashed through Yao Shi Wanneng’s mind, a dull yet powerful sound of a bowstring rang out from ahead. Dozens of arrows shot out like lightning, targeting Happy. With such rapid hoofspeeds, there was no time to dodge. In the blink of an eye, Happy was hit by numerous arrows, and even his horse was pierced several times. Blood splattered everywhere, a tragic sight.
No good!
“There’s an ambush!!”
Yao Shi Wanneng grew anxious and quickly reined in his horse to warn them.
No wonder they hadn’t encountered Huang Sha after chasing for so long—surely the other side had also detected Happy’s location and set up an ambush here early on. This was bad.
But when he looked up, Happy seemed unconcerned. Despite his horse’s injuries, it still moved at full speed, charging forward bravely. Ignoring any potential ambushes, it plunged deep into the forest filled with arrows.
Damn it!
Yao Shi Wanneng’s heart sank. He slapped his horse’s rump hard, and the pair shot forward like an arrow—no matter how dangerous it was ahead, he would not let Happy venture alone into the First Rank Hall’s trap.
…
“Die! You wretched dog of the First Rank Hall!!”
As they rushed into the forest, dozens of well-equipped disciples of the First Rank Hall appeared before their eyes. Without hesitation, Happy stepped off his horse and leaped like a bird, diving at the nearest person.
Since the disciples of the First Rank Hall had set up this ambush, they had been waiting for a long time and were not afraid of Happy.
“Kill him!”
With a low roar, the forest trembled as the sound of clothes rustling filled the air. A group of people rushed out from all directions, surrounding Happy on three sides.
On the left, Huang Sha led the group with fierce strides. His cold eyes stared at Happy with arrogance as he laughed maniacally, “Hahaha… I expected you to come looking for trouble. But do you really think I’m easy to bully? Listen, Happy—today, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
His voice, amplified by internal energy, was intimidating, and with so many skilled disciples of the First Rank Hall surrounding him, anyone else would have been terrified. But…
Happy paid them no attention at all.

At this moment, all that filled Happy’s eyes was the desire to kill Huangsha…
“Kill!!”
Without giving Huangsha another chance to talk, the Qingming Sword Spirit twisted swiftly in response to the long sword of the nearest First-Class Hall disciple, exposing his weak point. Without hesitation, it pierced his heart with a single strike.
Happy kicked the corpse toward Huangsha…
The latter, face twisted in anger, pushed the flying corpse away forcefully. With a cold gaze and an arrogant expression, his loud voice rang out again: “Happy! You underestimate me too much!”
As soon as those words left his mouth, a brutal force surged out from his body.
“Sss!”
His clothes were suddenly torn apart by an invisible force, flying in all directions like arrows.
Yao Shi Wanneng, who was chasing from behind, happened to witness this scene—and saw the pair of pitch-black, eerie arms beneath the torn clothes.
At the same time…
A layer of dark mist quickly covered half of Huangsha’s body. His skin turned black, resembling metal or that of a lifeless corpse, including his face.
Sss!
Yao Shi Wanneng’s brows tightened:
“What kind of martial art is this?”
Though he wasn’t sure, such an extraordinary martial art that drastically altered one’s physical condition and aura usually had a powerful background. Could it be… another inheritor of a peerless martial art?
“Happy! Be careful!!”
He only managed to issue a warning before ten people from the First-Class Hall quickly surrounded him. With an oath, Happy had no choice but to dismount and fight.
…
As Happy rushed toward Huangsha, he was stopped by a First-Class Hall disciple. The Qingming Sword swung repeatedly, aiming for mass destruction. With over 4,500 attacks, even someone equipped with second-tier gear and master-level protective abilities would inevitably be injured. The moment they made contact, the First-Class Hall disciple’s expression changed drastically.
The immense force transmitted from the Qingming Sword instantly destroyed their attacks, causing them serious internal injuries at the first clash. Had the other party really died once before?
Caught off guard, more than twenty souls were added to the Qingming Sword’s ranks!
“I’ll take it!”
As soon as Huangsha’s voice rang out, Happy looked up. A black gust of wind formed in the air and slammed down on him, who was surrounded by the First-Class Hall disciples…
Frowning, Happy realized that Huangsha had indeed inherited the peerless skill from his past life—the extraordinary art of the legendary figure “The Immortal Dark King”: Dark King Art!
It allowed the user to trade rapid deterioration of his physical body for astonishing defense and attack power. In areas covered by the dark mist, his physical defense multiplied, making him impervious to weapons. Additionally, his attacks surged, enabling him to easily match even experts above his own level.

In his past life, Huang Sha relied on this extraordinary martial art to break away from the First Rank Hall, establish the “Realm of Death,” and become the fearsome Immortal King of the martial world!
However, at this stage, although the King of Death Art was incredibly powerful, its level was clearly insufficient. From the dark aura surrounding Huang Sha, Kai Xin could tell that he was only able to utilize 60% of the art’s strength.
“Get lost!!”
A dazzling flash rushed toward Huang Sha’s black palm wind.
Boom!!!
The sword light and palm wind exploded simultaneously. Before the loud noise faded, Huang Sha’s terrifying figure already lunged at Kai Xin…
But Kai Xin didn’t engage. He wasn’t afraid of fighting Huang Sha alone, but with over 200 experts from the First Rank Hall watching, he couldn’t afford to hesitate.
Huang Sha wanted to kill him! But with the King of Death Art protecting him, his body was as hard as iron. His opponent was also an expert, so he couldn’t kill him in one strike. If trapped, he’d waste too much internal energy and end up dying instead.
In the blink of an eye, Kai Xin made up his mind! Under Huang Sha’s shocked and surprised gaze, he resolutely retracted his Qing Ming Sword, formed a palm with his left hand, and struck out at the fierce Huang Sha…
Bang!!
Under Huang Sha’s bewildered gaze, Kai Xin was sent flying into the crowd like a bullet. The disciples of the First Rank Hall thought a legendary battle would unfold, but to their surprise, Kai Xin was so easily defeated. Seeing him fly over, they instinctively tried to take advantage.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Several stunning sword lights shot up from the crowd. Disciples from all directions screamed in pain. Those on the periphery realized they had been tricked and retreated in panic.
A golden figure pursued the disciples of the First Rank Hall into the crowd like a ghost. Along the way, magnificent tricolor sword energy swept through, knocking people down one after another. This sight made Huang Sha roar in fury: “Disgraceful!”
