The Nether Moon Above, The Nether River Below

The sky darkened.

Countless meteors gathered and swirled in the sky, filling the horizon with their fiery presence.

The entire sky was obscured by a dark mass of meteors, leaving it sunless.

Renegade Desperado felt he had indeed been too hasty.

With the blue skeleton's attack power, these meteors' damage wouldn't be low.

Each one would have at least a 200% bonus, right?

If all of them crashed down, it would be devastating.

Simply too overpowered.

"Still think I'm exaggerating, old man?" Yun Bao stopped playing her zither and spoke disdainfully to Renegade Desperado.

"I won't argue with a little brat."

Renegade Desperado replied somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule."

Yun Bao's five slender fingers hooked the zither strings and pulled hard.

Twang...

"The General's Command Song has ended. Next is the Ambush from All Sides."

Yun Bao's little face became much more serious.

Ten slender fingers hovered over the zither.

Then, like a butterfly threading through flowers, they began plucking the strings.

Tick tick tick... clang!

A rapid and murderous melody suddenly rose.

Tick tick tick tick tick... clang!

The second part of the melody sounded, becoming quiet yet tense, with the final note making everyone shudder.

In the valley, a fierce wind suddenly rose, stirring the snow from the trees into a magnificent snowfall that complemented the meteors above.

The entire Dragon Trap Mountain suddenly emanated an atmosphere of dark clouds pressing down, threatening to crush the city, like an impending storm with winds filling the mountain.

Everyone was led by Yun Bao's melody into a tense atmosphere of armies approaching.

It felt as if the next moment, those meteors would all crash down upon them.

As Yun Bao's right hand continued plucking the strings, the melody expanded, becoming increasingly urgent.

Her left hand, at the moment the tense atmosphere reached its peak and her right hand suddenly paused, abruptly raised and quickly swept across the front of the zither!

Twang twang!

Two zither notes sounded simultaneously, echoing throughout the valley. The valley suddenly went silent except for the melody, with nothing else to be heard.

As Yun Bao flipped the zither, her finger movements suddenly became passionate and stirring.

Hoofbeats, clashing of weapons, battle cries intertwined and rose, interwoven with the melody, moving hearts.

And the meteors in the sky, as if responding to some call, suddenly fell under the guidance of the melody.

The sound shook heaven and earth, like tiles flying from rooftops.

Metal sounds, drum beats, sword and crossbow sounds, people and horses fleeing in fear.

Sorrow, wailing, roaring, incantations, screams all poured into the ears of Bone Duke Pingnan, Wind Wing, and Chernyov at once.

The immobilized Bone Duke Pingnan, Wind Wing, and Chernyov instantly changed expression again.

The netherworld sounds from below resonated with the heavens, offering hellfire, connecting the azure sky above and the yellow springs below!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thirty-two meteors carrying hellfire suddenly plummeted from the sky.

The first to face them was Chernyov, high in the sky.

Boom!

Thirty-two meteors connected in a line, falling directly on Chernyov's head, instantly exploding into a large blue mushroom cloud.

"–1327587!"

"–1327587!"

"–1327587!"

"–1327587!"

...

Thirty-two bright red damage numbers appeared above Chernyov's head.

In an instant, Chernyov's health was reduced by 44 million!

"This..."

Despite some mental preparation, when the meteors struck him, Chernyov was still startled by this terrifying power.

50% Defense Penetration, plus 20% increased damage from Jiang Cheng's weapon, and Hell Nether River Fall's 500% damage bonus made these thirty-two meteors deal horrific damage.

Chernyov's health was 2 billion, but just one strike reduced it by two percent!

This gave Chernyov a feeling of despair against an unstoppable force.

As the immobilization effect wore off, he immediately flashed away, avoiding the second wave of thirty-two meteors.

His figure appeared on the ground.

But before he could show any smile, the fierce wind rose again, and Yun Bao at the mountain peak had her robe and hair blown by the gale.

The melody changed again!

The hero at twilight, retreating in defeat.

A sorrowful aura spread throughout Dragon Trap Mountain.

The wind sighed through the willows by the cold waters, a hero departing never to return.

It seemed to be bidding farewell to a defeated hero.

As the melody suddenly paused, just as Chernyov landed, the white snow on the ground instantly melted, transforming into a deep blue Nether River that engulfed him and Bone Duke Pingnan.

In the sky, a blue moon rose behind Jiang Cheng's golden wings.

"The Nether River below! The Nether Moon above. Are you the reincarnation of the Nether Emperor? This... this is impossible!"

Angel holy light naturally countered netherworld energy and all evil spirits, but this wasn't absolute.

When the opponent's netherworld power far exceeded holy light, the countering effect would disappear!

Before, except for the Seven Demon Lords of Sin and other netherworld powerhouses, Chernyov had never seen death energy exceed an Angel's.

But now, a skeleton made him feel this sense of helpless despair?

The Nether Moon above, the Nether River below, these two combined were the Nether Emperor's signature moves. Before these two powers, his tiny holy light was nothing.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

What greeted Chernyov wasn't Jiang Cheng's words but a continuous barrage of three hundred and sixty-one hellfire meteors.

The power of the Nether River stripped away all memories and abilities.

Creatures who fell into the Nether River had no more connection to their past lives.

The Nether River he was in now, though it couldn't strip away his memories and abilities, greatly restricted his movement.

Making him unable to dodge the meteors falling from above.

As three hundred and sixty meteors fell in sequence, crashing heavily onto him and splashing huge waves, his head displayed dense blood-red damage numbers.

In a flash, Chernyov's health was reduced by 440 million!

"Puh... miscalculated."

Chernyov violently spat out a mouthful of golden blood, which was immediately diluted by the Nether River.

"Captain!"

Wind Wing frowned, his hands gripping the Alphys Long Sword trembling slightly.

If even his captain was beaten like this, could he escape?

"Wind Wing, stay in the sky, do your best to evade, don't come down, and don't confront directly!"

"He can only deal with one. You must preserve your strength. There might still be a chance!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Chernyov finished speaking, Wind Wing was about to follow his instructions and try his best to evade.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng, who was in the sky, suddenly waved his hand.

One thousand two hundred Hellfire Meteors transformed into three waves. These waves headed toward Bone Duke Pingnan, Wind Wing, and Chernyov.

"Damn it, show some mercy, will you!?"
