Chapter 237 Netherworld Chains
"Shut up, what right do you have to interfere with my decisions?"
Odin glared at Thor, who had been ambushed.
I thought to myself, this piece of trash can't even withstand an attack from an ordinary person, yet he dares to influence my decisions.
It seems I've spoiled this child too much; I don't even have this much sense of propriety.
"Li, what do you think?"
Bringing his thoughts back, Odin looked at Li Jie, who had a disdainful expression on his face, and calmly spoke.
"What if I refuse?"
"Refuse? No, no, no, you have no right to refuse."
"Either submit to the Asgardian gods, or... die!"
After Odin's voice fell, His supreme divine power emanated from His body without reservation, and a radiant golden light, almost tangible, swept towards Li Jie's battle force.
The latter raised his sword and lightly slashed, carving out a small space that was not affected by the divine power.
Then, he gently shook his head.
"I reject."
"It would be a real pity to kill such a talented and beautiful person."
Upon hearing Li Jie's refusal, Odin showed no emotional fluctuation; he simply spoke indifferently.
"In that case, don't blame me."
"Old man, it's your turn to make a move."
As Odin's voice faded, Li Jie suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation emanating from the Immortal-Trapping Sword hidden inside the Sword-Nourishing Gourd.
The source of this fluctuation was none other than the sword spirit, Hong, who was sitting cross-legged above the ocean of primordial liquid and overseeing the repair of the immortal sword!
The interior space of the pot.
Sword Spirit Rainbow, dressed in red, turned deathly pale instantly. Gradually, a pitch-black door emanating a sinister aura of death appeared behind her.
Then, the incredibly heavy, pitch-black stone door slowly opened with a sickeningly loud sound.
A cross carved from rotten wood appeared prominently inside the pot.
"Jiejiejie~~"
After a burst of strange laughter.
Countless pitch-black, ghostly chains appeared out of thin air, their rusty rings precisely fitting around Hong Baihui's hands and feet.
The chains tightened, and no matter how much Hong resisted, she could not stop herself from being firmly fixed to the cross carved from rotten wood.
As evil divine power was injected, Hong's expression gradually became ferocious.
Previously, the spirit of the Immortal Sword, dressed in red, was described as a cheerful, naive, and innocent girl.
Now, the aura emanating from her is like that of a blood-red Asura who has fought her way out of the abyss.
"Hey hey hey..."
Before long, a very strange smile appeared on Hong's pale face.
The dark, ghostly chains gradually disappeared into her fair body, and the decaying wooden cross that had previously bound her body floated back into the dark portal.
A moment later, a hint of madness suddenly appeared in Hong Kongdong's eyes. Then, she picked up the partially repaired Immortal Trapping Sword, broke through the restrictions of the Sword Nourishing Gourd, and arrived in the main hall of Asgard.
They sensed the violent aura emanating from the outside world.
The little one hidden in Li Jie's inner sea opened her eyes in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
"Rainbow? How could that be?"
Seeing the stark contrast in Hong's demeanor, Li Jie did not show any strange expression.
Even when he first came into contact with the red-clad sword spirit, for some reason, he always felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
Logically speaking, Li Jie is the current master of the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Even if they are all sword spirits with self-awareness, there shouldn't be such a great distance between them and Li Jie, the sword master.
This is why Li Jie refused to follow Hong's instructions and insisted on checking the Immortal-Trapping Sword for any abnormalities himself.
In fact, he did discover something unusual.
That was when he was talking to Hong in the sword-nurturing gourd, he always felt a faint death aura behind the red-clothed sword spirit.
Even if the Four Swords of Zhuxian possess extremely strong killing intent, it is impossible for them to be possessed by death energy.
Therefore, there is only one answer.
The spirit of the Immortal-Trapping Sword, buried in the Western Frontier, was likely already controlled by hostile gods from beyond the borders before I even arrived at the abandoned ancient city!
Looking back now, it seems like the timing was just right.
"The Immortal-Trapping Sword... heeds my call... and slays this white-haired youth before you..."
A deep, hoarse voice echoed in the hall, and a handsome man in a suit and an old man in a black robe with a hunched back slowly appeared before everyone.
“Loki..…”
Upon seeing the newcomer, anger finally surfaced in Li Jie's calm gaze.
"Long time no see, Li Jie..."
"How have you been since Cangnan disappeared?"
Upon hearing Li Jie's voice, the handsome man in the suit chuckled.
"It's alright... but I would be better off if you died."
After saying that, Li Jie swung his longsword, and several pale blue sword beams shot out, heading straight for Loki's face.
Unfortunately, Odin had already made the first move and blocked Li Jie's attack.
Just then, the corrupted version of the sword spirit Hong, suspended in mid-air, attacked with her sword.
"Brother Li Jie, don't hurt her!"
"I know."
Sensing the familiar sword intent fluctuations, Xiao Jue, inside his Qi Sea, quickly spoke up to remind him.
Meanwhile, the gods, led by Odin, who were standing a little further away, put away their weapons and watched the show in peace.
"Father, shall we not take action?"
Thor, carrying his hammer, walked up to Odin and respectfully inquired.
"No rush... After all, it's a celestial sword; it still possesses some god-slaying power..."
"The moment their strength dissipates will be the time for us to make our move."
"Did they bring the Eternal Flame?"
At this point, Odin suddenly turned to Thor, who had just entered the vault, and asked him a question.
"I brought it, but... do we need to use it now?"
Upon hearing the question, Thor brought out the dark brazier with a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing that Thor had finally accomplished something, Odin nodded calmly. Then, he pointed to the hunched figure standing next to Loki and gave Thor a command.
"Go and give him the Eternal Flame. When the time is right, he will make his move."
Although Thor had a thousand doubts in his heart, he could not disobey Odin's orders.
He turned and walked toward the hunched figure draped in a black robe.
On the other side, Li Jie was forced to retreat under the onslaught of the Immortal-Trapping Sword Spirit.
The Daoist aura in his eyes surged wildly.
It'll be soon...
We're almost able to see it clearly!
After exchanging another sword strike, the dark chains hidden within Hong's body slowly surfaced before Li Jie's eyes.
It seems... these are the things that have locked away her consciousness...
What if... I cut these chains...
What will happen?
Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but curl a strange smile at the corners of his mouth.
