Immortal God of War

Chapter 662 - 634: It’s Too Late for Regrets_1

How could there be a Ghost Gate?

It’s widely known that the Ghost Gate is a rather elusive existence.

Folklore suggests that the world is populated not only by humans but also numerous spirits. These spirits reside in a place known as the Underworld. This place is the destination of souls after death. In other words, all deceased beings will be sent to the Underworld, either to be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell or be reincarnated.

Rumor has it that the Ghost Gate is the first entrance to the Underworld. However, rumors are just rumors; nobody knows whether the Underworld truly exists or not.

Yet at this moment, the Ghost Gate appeared before them, startling them.

Does the Underworld truly exist?

If they enter this Ghost Gate, will they also enter the Underworld?

The Underworld of legends is not considered a hospitable place.

Everyone stared at the stone door in terror, not daring to take a single step forward. Entering the Ghost Gate means flirting with death.

What should they do?

Wu Yan and others looked at Fatty and Dong Zhengyang, disoriented and panicked.

Fatty pondered briefly and shouted, "Boss, we are in big trouble! Get out here now!"

After a month of incessant copying, Qin Feiyang had completed half of the first stroke of the Killing Art. Originally, he intended to finish it all at once. Because once done, he could break through to become a Two-star War Ancestor, catching up with Fatty and the Wolf King. But he could not ignore Fatty’s plea for help.

He pulled back his arm, closed the Six-Character Mantra, and secured the iron case. After consuming a Battle Intent pill, he left the ancient castle with Ren Wushuang, appearing on the back of the Alligator King.

"Hmm?"

The moment they emerged, they frowned; the atmosphere here felt very wrong!

Fatty pointed at the Ghost Gate and said in a deep voice, "Boss, look at that."

Qin Feiyang looked up, and his pupils contracted sharply. Simultaneously, Ren Wushuang’s face drained of color.

What’s happening?

Had they arrived at the Ghost Gate?

Qin Feiyang leaped down and stood beside Fatty, carefully examining the stone door. He too was unsure of what to do.

Someone suggested, "Shouldn’t we just retreat? It’s possible that Commander Wang Hong and City Lord Jiang Qianqing are still waiting for us on the plain."

Upon hearing this, the timider among them were particularly moved.

Lu Xingchen frowned and said, "I don’t want to give up halfway. If you want to go back, you can."

"Why is a Seven-star War Emperor like you pretending to be brave?" someone immediately shouted in anger.

Lu Xingchen glanced at him, a flash of cold light flickering in his eyes, but he said nothing more. He turned back to Qin Feiyang and suggested, "Shall we scout ahead first?"

"No," Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"Why?" Lu Xingchen was puzzled. He knew Qin Feiyang well enough to know that he was not afraid, but likely being cautious about something.

Qin Feiyang explained, "None of us know what’s inside. I think it’s best that we enter together. If we encounter danger, we’ll have each other to rely on."

Lu Xingchen nodded in agreement and said, "You’re right. But they aren’t willing to enter."

Qin Feiyang glanced at the crowd behind him and spoke indifferently, "Those who want to join me, keep close. Those who want to go back, better leave now."

Having said that, he strode towards the Ghost Gate.

"Xiao Qinzi is correct. We don’t need any useless burdens to drag us down," the Wolf King sneered contemptuously, and with a leap, landed on Qin Feiyang’s shoulder.

Fatty, Lu Xingchen, Ren Wushuang, Black Dragon Snake, Dong Zhengyang, and others quickly followed.

Reverting to the size of a palm, the Alligator King lay on Lu Xingchen’s shoulder, eyeing the surroundings vigilantly.

"What should we do?"

Those remaining, like Wu Yan, became completely panicked. Their suggestion to turn back was based on the premise of having Lu Xingchen, because only the Alligator King at Lu Xingchen’s side could safely guide them through the marsh.

But now, the Alligator King had left with Lu Xingchen. Qin Feiyang and the others also had no intention of turning back.

Given their abilities, let alone crossing the marsh, it was questionable whether they could even safely exit the jungle behind them. The beasts within the jungle were more terrifying than the Dragon Crocodiles in the marsh. Even if they could safely traverse the jungle and marsh, they would still encounter endless skeletons in the plains they had crossed earlier.

Therefore, relying solely on their own abilities, it would be utterly impossible to return to the starting point.

Xui Yang sighed deeply and said despondently, "We have no other choice. The only way is forward."

At his words, the others’ hearts filled with helpless despair. If they had another chance, they would absolutely refuse to come to this devilish place, even if it meant death.

In the end, they all followed Qin Feiyang and the others towards the Ghost Gate.

A few moments later, they arrived in front of the Ghost Gate and stopped.

Qin Feiyang looked at the stone door and called out without turning his head, "No matter what happens next, I hope everyone remains calm and responds accordingly."

"Understood," the crowd nodded.

"Whew!" Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, carefully stepped forward, and placed his hand on the stone door.

In that instant, a bone-chilling cold wave swept over him. However, this cold wave didn’t burden him mentally; instead, it made him more alert and calm.

Suddenly! With a jolt of his arm, an immense power surged forth with the force of toppling mountains and overturning seas.

BOOM!

The stone door was suddenly flung open. At the same time, Qin Feiyang leaped back, staring intently at the growing gap of the door, his nerves strung taut.

CRASH!

As the stone door opened, a thick blood mist, like a crimson wave, surged out from within, emitting an astonishing amount of Evil Qi and an icy aura. In an instant, everyone felt as if they had plunged into an ice valley, their bodies chilled to the bone!

BOOM!

Several breaths later, accompanied by an earth-shattering rumble, the stone door opened completely. Inside, the blood mist churned, obscuring everything from view. But the aura surging from within the stone door instilled a deep-seated fear in their hearts.

Qin Feiyang spoke gravely, "Fatty, Black Dragon Snake, Ren Wushuang, Shen Mei, you guys go hide in the ancient castle for a while..."

From the moment the stone door had begun to open, an uncontrollable sense of foreboding had risen within him. So, for safety, he couldn’t leave everyone outside.

However, before he could finish his sentence, the others began to clamor.

"Qin Feiyang, what do you mean by that?"

"You’re letting them hide in the castle but not us. Isn’t that favoritism?"

"You should know not to be so selfish, right?"

They could only grit their teeth in anger, seething with resentment, feeling as if they were owed something.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending Fatty and the others into the ancient castle, then turned his gaze towards Wu Yan and the rest.

"Actually, I did plan to let all of you hide in the ancient castle, but you didn’t let me finish!"

"As for now, don’t even think about it."

"Not just now, but in the future too. Your lives and deaths have nothing to do with me anymore."

After coldly dropping these words, Qin Feiyang ignored Wu Yan and the others. He took out an ordinary weapon, threw it forcefully into the stone door, and listened carefully for any sounds from within.

As for Wu Yan and the rest, they were filled with regret.

Why were they so impatient?

They should have at least let him finish speaking. Hadn’t they just sealed their own fate?

"Senior Brother Qin, we were wrong! We shouldn’t have doubted you!"

"Senior Brother Qin, please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against us, alright?"

"Really, we’ll definitely change!"

A group of people began to plead. However, Qin Feiyang remained deaf to their pleas.

CLANG!

Suddenly, a piercing metallic sound echoed from inside the stone door. The sound indicated that the ground inside was solid.

"Let’s go!"

Straightaway, without wasting any more time, Qin Feiyang waved his hand and was the first to enter the Ghost Gate. Dong Zhengyang and the others followed closely behind.

To be honest, everyone had taken good care of Wu Yan and the others along the way. However, these people were not only ungrateful but had also caused trouble repeatedly, until everyone’s patience had worn thin. So, Dong Zhengyang and the rest couldn’t be bothered with their fates anymore.

Life and death were predestined, and fortunes were bestowed by Heaven. Let them fend for themselves!

At the same time, watching Qin Feiyang and the others leave without a backward glance, Wu Yan and the rest were both alarmed and enraged.

Xui Yang suddenly roared, "Who was it that started all this earlier?"

"He did," Wu Yan pointed at a tall, burly man dressed in white.

"Bastard, you’re asking for death!" Xui Yang’s killing intent flared. Stepping in front of the man in white, he shattered his head with a single punch.

Although Xui Yang wasn’t very powerful compared to Qin Feiyang and the others, he was a top contender among the War Emperors. The man in white, only a Seven-star War Emperor and caught off guard, was killed instantly; it was only natural.

However, Xui Yang’s behavior was rather despicable. After all, he had been one of the loudest complainers earlier, yet now he was venting his anger on someone else. What was the meaning of this?

Nonetheless, considering Xui Yang’s strength, the others could only suppress their anger and dared not speak out.

Meanwhile, Wu Yan, who was on good terms with Xui Yang, also smirked coldly, saying, "There’s no point getting angry with them. Let’s go in quickly. Otherwise, once Qin Feiyang and the others are out of sight, we’ll have no chance of survival."

Xui Yang nodded, pointed at the man lying in a pool of blood, and huffed coldly, "Whoever dares to cause trouble and offend Qin Feiyang in the future, that will be their end!"

After he finished speaking, the two of them turned and ran into the stone door without looking back.

"Those two bastards, why don’t we see them acting so arrogantly in front of Qin Feiyang?"

"With just a wave of his hand, Qin Feiyang could turn them into dust. Would they dare?"

"Indeed. Who can we blame but ourselves for being less skilled?"

"To survive, let’s just endure it!"

The group let out deep sighs and quickly ran into the stone door.

After the last person entered, the stone door closed automatically with a loud RUMBLE.

「Not long after.」

Another five people arrived before the Ghost Gate. It was Wan Chou and his group.

"The Ghost Gate!"

Just like Qin Feiyang and the others, they too felt fear in their hearts upon seeing the stone door.

"Huh! There’s a dead body?"

The five of them walked up to the corpse of the large man.

After examining it closely for a moment, Fenghuo remarked, "He’s from Spirit State. The blood is still warm; he must have died recently."

Wan Chou’s eyes glinted coldly as he stated, "That means they only just entered. There are no signs of a fight here, so they must have had some internal conflict before going in."

Fenghuo nodded, asking, "Should we wait before entering?"

Wan Chou’s hands clenched tightly as he nodded, declaring, "Wait!"

He spoke the word through gritted teeth, clearly showing how resentful he felt.

"Sigh!" At the same time, Fengg Wuxie also let out a long, helpless sigh.
