Chapter 72: The Battle for Magical Treasures
The Ghost King brandished his spiked club and attacked Liu Yu and the others with such ferocity that it seemed he wanted to devour them alive.
Liu Yu was so frightened that she covered her head and ran away, shouting, "Oh my god, help me!"
Xu Xian hid behind a large pillar, trembling with fear.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing stepped forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the Ghost King.
Xiaoqing's swordsmanship was fierce, and she shouted as she fought, "You ugly monster, take this!"
The Ghost King laughed loudly: "Little brat, you think you can defeat me?"
As he spoke, he swung the stick, and Xiaoqing almost couldn't dodge it in time.
Bai Suzhen used her magic, and beams of light shot towards the Ghost King.
The Ghost King roared, "A mere trick!" and then swung his spiked club, scattering the light.
Liu Yu stamped her feet anxiously, "What are we going to do?"
Suddenly, he saw a stone on the ground, and on a whim, he picked it up and threw it at the Ghost King.
"Ouch!" The stone hit the Ghost King right on the head.
The Ghost King, enraged and humiliated, cried out, "You brat, how dare you ambush me!"
Liu Yu made a face: "Come and catch me if you dare!"
The Ghost King abandoned Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and turned to pounce on Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was so frightened that she ran away as fast as she could, shouting, "Sister, Xiao Qing, help!"
Just as the Ghost King was about to grab Liu Yu, Xu Xian appeared out of nowhere, holding a tree branch, and tripped the Ghost King's foot.
The Ghost King stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Haha, serves you right for being so arrogant!" Xu Xian laughed triumphantly.
The Ghost King got up, even angrier: "You bunch of fools who don't know what's good for you!"
At this moment, Xiaoqing seized the opportunity to stab the Ghost King with her sword.
The Ghost King screamed in pain, "I will not let you go!"
As he spoke, he unleashed his ultimate move, and the entire treasure pavilion began to shake.
The treasures on the shelves fell one after another, and Liu Yu and the others dodged left and right.
A large vase came crashing down on Liu Yu, who closed her eyes in fright.
Just then, Bai Suzhen used magic to block the vase.
"Liu Yu, be careful!" Bai Suzhen shouted.
Liu Yu opened her eyes and said with lingering fear, "Thank you, sister."
The Ghost King panicked when he saw that even his ultimate move was ineffective.
Seeing this, Liu Yu said, "Lord Ghost King, we really are here on orders to retrieve the magic treasure. Please make an exception for us."
The Ghost King snorted: "Ordered? Whose orders? I don't know anything about it."
Liu Yu said, "It's the King of Hell's order."
The Ghost King was taken aback: "King Yama? Do you have any evidence?"
Liu Yu's eyes darted around, and he pulled out a token from his pocket, which he had actually grabbed randomly in his panic.
He put on a confident air and said, "Look, this is the token given by the King of Hell."
The Ghost King took the token and looked at it, half believing and half doubting.
Just as the Ghost King hesitated, Xiao Qing quietly circled behind him and kicked him to the ground.
"Haha, you can't escape now!" Xiaoqing said with a laugh.
The Ghost King was subdued and said helplessly, "Fine, take the magic weapon and leave now."
Liu Yu and his companions happily left the treasure pavilion with their magical artifacts.
After leaving the treasure pavilion, they continued their search for an exit in the underworld.
As we walked, we came to a three-way intersection.
Liu Yu asked, "Which road should we take?"
Xu Xian said, "How about we split up?"
Bai Suzhen said, "No, it's too dangerous to separate."
Xiaoqing said, "Let's decide by rock-paper-scissors."
So they started playing rock-paper-scissors.
As a result, Liu Yu lost.
Liu Yu said with a bitter face, "Why is it me again?"
Having no other choice, they had to follow the path Liu Yu had chosen.
After walking for a while, we found a river ahead with no bridge.
Liu Yu said, "How are we going to get across?"
Xu Xian said, "How about we swim across?"
Xiaoqing said, "The current is so strong, it's too dangerous to swim across."
Just as they were worrying, a large tortoise swam over.
The giant tortoise said, "I can carry you across the river."
Liu Yu said happily, "That's great, thank you."
They sat on the turtle's back and crossed the river.
As soon as I got ashore, I heard a sinister laugh.
Liu Yu shuddered in fright: "Who is this again?"
A mysterious figure dressed in a black robe appeared before them.
The mysterious man said, "Hand over the magic weapon!"
Liu Yu said, "Who are you? Why should I give it to you?"
The mysterious man said, "I am the dark messenger of the underworld. The magic weapon is useless in your hands. Give it to me."
Xiaoqing said, "Dream on. If you're so capable, come and take it yourself."
The mysterious man waved his sleeve, and a cloud of black smoke rushed towards them.
Bai Suzhen quickly used magic to defend herself.
The two sides engaged in a fierce magical duel.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Liu Yu accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.
The magic weapon fell out of his arms.
The mysterious man seized the opportunity to rush over and snatch the magical artifact.
Just at this critical moment, a large hand descended from the sky and grabbed the mysterious man.
"Hmph, running wild on my turf!" a loud voice rang out.
It turned out to be the King of Hell.
The King of Hell said, "You've done well. Now you can hand over the magic weapon to me."
Liu Yu and the others handed the magic weapon over to King Yama.
The King of Hell said, "As a reward, I will send you back to the human world."
A flash of light, and they returned to the human world.
Liu Yu remarked with emotion, "This trip to the underworld was truly thrilling."
Xu Xian said, "Yes, I don't want to go there again."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing smiled at each other.
Just then, the system's voice rang out again...
