Chapter 149 Hesitation

Even the most outstanding surgeon in his past life, famous in Tongcheng and his small circle, was still squeezed dry for a small apartment.

This life, step by step, temporary ghost messenger, made permanent, then taking in subordinates, opening a bookstore, hiring employees; for Zhou Ze, it all felt like an unreal dream.

And now,

He was standing here,

Watching two great beings, whose existence was only found in myths and legends, engage in a fierce battle.

The majestic air currents,

The terrifying power raging,

The shocking spectacle of dharma bodies colliding,

Almost overturned Zhou Ze's previous imagination.

He had seen many grand scenes; the iron fool inside him always loved grand displays.

But this was a genuine showdown,

Not a memory or a mere illusion.

It was like the stark difference between watching a gunfight movie in a theater and being thrown into a real gunfight.

Life is like a journey; some walk on foot, laborious but steadfast;

Some ride in carriages, bumpy but with energy to spare;

Some brave the wind and waves, rocking but enjoying the boundless beauty of the sea and sky.

Boss Zhou felt like he was riding a rocket,

Soaring into the sky at a pace that was difficult to contain,

Followed by,

A sense of trepidation.

Too fast,

This transformation,

Was hard to get used to.

Especially when Ying Gou suggested that he had a way to use the formation here to eliminate these two great figures,

Zhou Ze subconsciously pinched Zhang Yanfeng beside him.

After hearing Zhang Yanfeng's cry of pain,

Boss Zhou was convinced he wasn't dreaming.

If it were his past self,

And an old man in the hospital handed him a copy of *Rulai Shenzhang* (Buddha's Palm) and told him that he would have a chance to go to hell and destroy Yama in his next life,

He probably would have immediately called the mental hospital to have the man picked up.

But now,

It had actually come true.

Perhaps,

Even Lawyer An, who was supervising the construction at the bookstore in Tongcheng in the mortal realm, didn't expect that

The development of events

Had long surpassed his previous predictions.

A game that they had initially thought was a sure thing,

Had already collapsed beyond recognition.

"Sorry,"

Zhou Ze said.

He believed that since Ying Gou had said so, there must be a backup plan here.

Moreover,

The eyes of the underworld couldn't see here,

Which was enough to show that this backup plan had always existed.

But Zhou Ze couldn't agree to do it that way.

Before, in the mortal realm, Ying Gou occasionally swallowing some small fry had already been enough to arouse Zhou Ze's vigilance.

Now,

If Ying Gou really swallowed the two in front of him,

Or even,

Just one of them,

Then,

His death date,

Would arrive.

Only by relying on the iron cage and the iron chains could he barely protect himself from being eaten by the tiger inside.

But if the tiger was given the power to break free from the cage and chains,

How,

Would he deal with it?

He,

Zhou Ze,

Had no great ambitions.

Being able to sit on the sofa by the window every morning, reading the newspaper, drinking coffee, and basking in the sun was enough.

What was there to do in hell?

Hell only had a blood-red moon,

There wasn't enough light.

"Boom!"

King Pingdeng was smashed down from the sky by the effeminate man, but several of the blood threads on the effeminate man's body also broke.

In a battle between giants,

It was hard to say who had the upper hand.

Perhaps,

Only they themselves knew.

When the young man in black got up,

His body trembled slightly.

And even,

It could be clearly seen from behind him,

A faint black mist was slowly dissipating.

This was a sign that the foundation had been damaged,

And the source of the soul was uncontrollably leaking.

And the effeminate man above,

His body was almost starting to overlap.

His soul,

Was nearly unable to hold itself together.

The effeminate man was hiding here, licking his wounds, while his companions were searching for King Pingdeng's whereabouts.

But this King Pingdeng had taken a step ahead, discovered the other party's location, and come directly here.

In the game between the great figures, under the chessboard, perhaps that Judge Lu was just one of the pieces, unaware of the situation.

For King Pingdeng,

The eunuch in front of him had a feud for destroying his palace.

Today's matter,

In this special environment,

Was a bit like two crickets being put into a jar.

There would be no end to it until one was bitten to death and dismembered!

The fight,

Continued,

Above this palace,

It was truly magnificent.

From time to time, stray power leaked out, smashing into a corner of the palace, and some unlucky ghost messengers who hadn't burned underworld money before going to hell were directly blasted into fragments.

When great figures fought,

How would they care about the lives and deaths of ants under their feet?

Zhou Ze was observing his surroundings, hoping that when the two great figures above fought, they would break the barrier here so that he could take the opportunity to escape.

At the same time,

He also hoped that after he escaped,

The eunuch would be able to achieve final victory and kill King Pingdeng, so as to avoid being pursued by King Pingdeng about Lu Pingzhi in the future.

If King Pingdeng completed his revenge today and returned to the throne of the Ninth Hall in the future, then Zhou Ze would only have the path of "abandoning his post" and fleeing. Otherwise, would he wait for the other party to summon him and then send him a cup of poison?

On the contrary, this effeminate man ate ghost messengers to heal his wounds; wouldn't eating anyone do?

However,

The iron fool's home,

Was really sturdy.

The fight between the two great figures, this commotion, was truly earth-shattering, but it still couldn't break the shackles here.

Judge Lu and the three hundred ghost messengers outside had agreed on a period of seven days; he certainly couldn't sense the situation inside, otherwise he wouldn't be so incapable of opening the door.

Boss Zhou was very saddened by this.

If he couldn't get out of here,

No matter who won or lost up there,

He would die.

"How…………to…………"

Ying Gou had been silent for a long time,

Silent,

Seemingly to give Zhou Ze more time to think slowly.

One was a certain death situation,

The other was a desperate gamble.

As long as he wasn't stupid,

He would be willing to take a chance.

Zhou Ze sat down on the steps.

Fifty meters away,

A terrifying air current smashed there. Zhou Ze remained unmoved; anyway, this was a matter of fate. If it hit you, there was nothing you could do; being hit meant death.

"I still refuse."

From the one in his heart came a sound of deep breathing.

Clearly,

He was enraged

By Zhou Ze's stubbornness at this time!

"Is death that scary?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Ah, what, Boss?" Old Zhang thought Zhou Ze was asking him.

"Being killed by the two above and being swallowed by you, what's the difference in the end?

Moreover,

Being killed by the two above,

I can still die in the name of 'Zhou Ze.'

If I'm swallowed by you,

Then what am I?"

It was very sad,

Very helpless.

King Pingdeng was a great figure.

That eunuch, who seemed to be called Changshi, was also a first-rate great figure.

Even,

Even the iron fool in his body was a great figure.

And what was Zhou Ze?

Looking up,

Like an ant,

Like a group of ghost messengers, watching the gods fight in the sky.

And he still had to worry that if he was unlucky, a stray ray of light would suddenly fall and hit him, directly causing him to gg, saving him the step of going to hell and instantly erasing him.

Even,

Zhou Ze was not as good as those ghost messengers.

After all,

They were genuinely themselves.

Huff…

"I…despise…you…the…most…like…this…"

"Whatever you say."

"Cowardly…lazy…indolent…"

"Please continue."

"…………" Ying Gou.

"Why aren't you talking?" Zhou Ze smiled. "Speak, say more. You don't have many more chances to speak."

"I…don't…want…to…die…like…this…"

To be able to make Ying Gou, who always valued face more than life, say such a thing, showed how aggrieved Ying Gou felt at this time.

In Xuzhou,

He could wait for an wide-open opportunity, waiting for the Buddha to descend for a battle!

Outside the police station,

He could call "Wangcai" by his nickname,

And swallow the *Xiezhi*'s avatar into his stomach.

In the cave,

He could force the little boy to kill himself in the identity of the ancestor.

From his fall until now,

His survival,

Was not for the sake of survival.

He hadn't really changed much.

He still dared to rebel against the human ruler, the Yellow Emperor.

He dared to kill wantonly in the Nether Sea just to find bones to pad his throne.

He was still him.

Living,

Of course, he had to live,

But the premise was

That living had to be in accordance with his liking.

At this time,

Ying Gou had to admit that

If he didn't use the formation here,

Even if Zhou Ze released the seal now and let him out,

He was no match for these two juniors.

His injuries were really too severe, and the road to recovery was really too long.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was unwilling to die like this,

Because this was his home.

Here was the formation he had left behind back then.

He could happily control the formation,

And cut down these two juniors,

Triumphant,

Declaring to the entire hell the return of the true king of the past!

He didn't want to end so aggrievedly,

Especially when there was a sharp blade at hand that could be used to resist!

"I…promise…you…after…the…matter…is…done…I…swallow…them…

After…recovering…part…of…my…strength…

I…will…announce…to…hell…my…return…

Then…I…will…commit…suicide…"

The meaning was roughly,

Help me kill them.

After I swallow them,

I will recover one or two tenths of my peak strength.

Then,

Let me roar a few times to the entire hell,

Finish this pretense,

And then I will commit suicide.

Wouldn't you feel like you've lost out!

You and I,

Neither of us survived,

But I can still help you get revenge.

How great?

Neither of us benefits.

"Pfft…………"

Zhou Ze laughed,

This was really too funny.

Oh my goodness,

The iron fool was too lovable.

"You…don't…believe…me?"

"I believe you." Zhou Ze shook his head. "I believe you, Ying Gou's promise, I believe you."

Zhou Ze really believed that Ying Gou would do this.

After killing and swallowing people,

Roar a couple of times,

Scare the many great figures and giants in hell,

And then,

Commit suicide elegantly!

"But, alas…"

Zhou Ze sighed,

Reached out and touched his chin, and continued,

"Let me think about it some more, think about it some more."

"How…much…longer…do…you…need…to…hesitate…"

"I'm not thinking about this, I'm thinking, if, I mean if, really just if.

If I finally agree,

You,

You see,

You finally,

Better not commit suicide,

Live well."

"…………" Ying Gou.
