Chapter 449 The Descent of the Underworld King
When Lone Wolf's indifferent voice fell, Harde and the other two felt as if their heads had been violently smashed by something, a roar thundering through their minds!
"Nether Temple?"
"Lone Wolf?"
Harde, Lv Shimo, and Sama, of course, had heard these two names, but to them, they seemed like unreachably high existences!
How could such beings come to their Red Sun Mercenary Corps?
Logically, in the eyes of these entities, people like themselves would be insignificant, with no intersection possible!
"You are Lone Wolf from the Nether Temple?"
Harde stuttered in disbelief.
Although Lone Wolf was only ranked around tenth in the Nether Temple, to them, he was still an untouchable figure of great importance!
"What? Don't believe it?"
Lone Wolf looked at them with a playful smile.
"We wouldn't dare!"
At this moment, Harde had lost the anger from his subordinates being slaughtered and was filled with more panic and doubt!
If these people were from the Nether Temple, then the silent slaying of his hundred or so subordinates was not unimaginable.
After all, they had heard many legendary stories about the Nether Temple, and such incidents were nothing special in those tales.
Actually, Harde and the other two almost believed that these people were indeed from the Nether Temple; on one hand, because of their eerie methods, and on the other hand, there were not many in this world who would dare to fake the name of the Nether Temple!
"Our Red Sun Mercenary Corps doesn't seem to have any grudges with you, so why do this?"
Lv Shimo asked with neither servility nor arrogance, puzzled as to why the other party would suddenly target them.
"No grudges? That's not necessarily the case, Young Master Lv."
At that moment, a mocking voice sounded, and a young figure walked in.
Harde and Sama both froze when they saw the young man. Who was this?
However, hearing him call Lv Shimo 'Young Master Lv,' it was obvious they knew each other, so both turned to look at Lv Shimo.
Upon seeing Su Chen, Lv Shimo's face immediately took on a layer of coldness:
"Su Chen, you actually dare to come here?!"
"Third brother, who is he?"
Harde asked in confusion.
However, before Lv Shimo could answer, Lone Wolf and the others had already bowed and shouted:
"Hall Master!"
This "Hall Master" shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, stupefied Harde and the others completely, causing them to stand up in an instant!
Even Lv Shimo's eyes went from furious and hostile to dumbfounded in a split second, with a buzzing echo in his mind!
Harde and the others couldn't believe their ears!
What did Lone Wolf call him? Hall Master?
Could this be the legendary King of Netherworld?
Hadn't it been widely rumored that the King of Netherworld was dead? Even if he wasn't, why would the ruler of the Dark World come to this insignificant place?
Since when did their Red Sun Mercenary Corps have such influence, not only to have the famous Lone Wolf come but now even the esteemed person of the King of Netherworld himself?
"Young Master Lv, when you took your men to Tianshan and used explosives to cause an avalanche, hoping to bury me in the snowy mountains, you never thought this day would come!"
Su Chen stepped into the room and said casually.
"Third Brother, you're not talking about Lord Nether King, are you?"
When Harde heard Su Chen's words, his mouth dropped open in shock.
At this point, Lv Shimo's mind couldn't quite catch up; how could he know that Su Chen was the legendary Nether King?
If he had known, he wouldn't dare harbor thoughts of revenge even if an own younger brother died; let alone if he took out other members of the Lv Family!
To seek revenge against the Nether King, wouldn't that be asking for a death wish?
But even if he had ten brains, he couldn't fathom that the Lin Family's son-in-law would be the esteemed Nether King!
Sama was also completely dumbfounded, thinking back to when he had said he would twist this guy's head off; cold sweat began to stream down his face.
"Lord Nether King, this was indeed our Red Sun Mercenary Corps' fault. I'm willing to hand over Lv Shimo, and I hope you can spare us!"
It only took Harde a moment to understand the gravity of the situation. In front of the Nether King, there was no other option than to focus on saving his own life, which would be lucky enough!
"Yes, Lord Nether King, this was all his own idea; we had no clue about it."
Sama echoed in agreement, as arrogant as he usually was, he feared death too!
Lv Shimo wasn't too surprised hearing their words; most mercenaries prioritize profits, and brotherly love was nonsense, wasn't it?
"Do you think, now that I'm here, you can still live?"
How could Su Chen let these two go and continue their evil deeds?
Hearing this, Harde and Sama's hearts turned ice-cold, but Lv Shimo suddenly felt a rush of excitement:
"Big brother, second brother, they won't spare us; let's go out with a fight! If we don't, we'll just be waiting to die!"
Harde and Sama exchanged a glance, their expressions hardened simultaneously; they knew that a person of the Nether King's status would never take back his words!
If they didn't want to die, their only option was to fight for their lives!
Even though such a fight had slim hopes, after all, this was the Nether King!
Su Chen noticed they were not going to surrender without a fight but didn't care.
The three of them burst out with a surging aura and charged at Su Chen. With a swift sidestep, he dodged their combined attack, and then his hand eerily landed on Sama's shoulder.
Sama, startled, hastily tried to dodge, but Su Chen simply pressed down gently, and Sama's shoulder immediately drooped.
At the same time, his foot lashed out. Harde, who was still unsteady, was sent flying into the wall by that kick.
A large hole appeared in the wall instantly, and Harde's massive body got stuck in that hole.
With his hand still resting on Sama's shoulder, he lifted his arm and flicked his finger at lightning speed toward Sama's temple, and Sama's body immediately collapsed!
Harde, barely managing to cough up two mouthfuls of blood and rise from the hole in the wall, hadn't recovered when a Silver Needle tore through the air at him!
By the time Harde realized it, the Silver Needle was already in front of him. He didn't even have time to react before it pierced his brow.
In less than a minute, only Lv Shimo was left standing!
Terror filled Lv Shimo's pupils. Was this the true power of being the Nether King? Terrifying!
Seeing Lv Shimo's horrified expression, Su Chen suddenly lost interest in tormenting him and simply twisted his neck, ending his life!
Moments later, when Lone Wolf and the others followed Su Chen out of the camp gate, they found that both lookouts on the watchtowers were already sprawling over the railings, life and death uncertain...
Of course, before leaving, Su Chen also sent Lv Fang, who was in the next room knocked out by sleeping pills, to join his sons...
