Chapter 537 Sticking your neck out is the same as sticking your neck out; both are vulnerable to bei
Just as Lin Hanzhou was on high alert, preparing for a final, desperate battle in this seemingly inescapable predicament,...
The three eerie immortal kings, who seemed to regard all things as mere straw dogs, surprisingly did not immediately crush him, this "insect that could be crushed at will."
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
The eerie dripping sound echoed in the deathly silent space.
Finally, in the sky above, the humanoid figure hidden in the darkness spoke slowly in a terrifying voice that seemed to explode directly into the depths of Lin Hanzhou's soul.
"The Law of the Water Immortal King..."
The voice was ancient and hoarse, like two rusty pieces of star debris rubbing violently against each other.
It does not use any language from the lower universe, but rather a Dao sound that resonates directly with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
However, Lin Hanzhou, relying on his Emperor-level cultivation, instantly understood the meaning behind it.
The figure paused briefly, its deep, almost piercing eyes scrutinizing Lin Hanzhou from head to toe through the crumbling azure water shield, before continuing with a hint of doubt.
"Although your cultivation level is as low as an ant, and you haven't even stepped into the threshold of the Immortal Path, the pure water-based fundamental law within you... You are... the reborn Immortal King Mu Yu?"
These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
Lin Hanzhou, who had been covering his eyes and standing ready, stiffened abruptly upon hearing these words, his brows furrowing instantly.
"Communication? This bizarre Celestial King can actually communicate?!"
A strong sense of astonishment welled up in Lin Hanzhou's heart.
In his mind, the bizarre creatures were monsters that only knew how to kill, devour, and pollute; they were destructive machines devoid of any reason or emotion.
Just like those dense, eerie torrents outside, there was absolutely no way to communicate with them.
But upon further reflection, Lin Hanzhou quickly came to terms with it.
"That's right. The Immortal King Realm is a truly supreme realm, a realm where one can create heaven and earth with a single thought."
"Even if such beings have been completely corrupted and degraded by strange forces, they are still, in essence, ultimate life forms that transcend common sense."
"If they were like those mindless, low-level monsters that could only howl and scream, that would be the most ridiculous thing imaginable!"
After feeling relieved, Lin Hanzhou's mind immediately became active. His brain, like the most sophisticated supercomputer, began to rapidly analyze the vast amount of information contained in the other person's words.
"The Immortal King Mu Yu? Reborn?"
Lin Hanzhou pondered these two words repeatedly in his mind, and soon, a sudden realization dawned on him.
"So that's how it is! This azure sea that blocks the path to immortality, the great being who left behind this supreme divine power countless eons ago to stop the strange invasion, is called 'Immortal King Bathing in Rain'!"
"These three old monsters clearly sensed the power of the Immortal King Sea that I forcibly borrowed and controlled just now, and sensed the extremely pure Immortal King Law of Muyu."
"Furthermore, in their eyes, my physical body as a Great Emperor of Humanity is indeed 'insignificant,' leading to a grave misjudgment. They mistook me for the reincarnated Immortal King Mu Yu, who has not yet recovered his cultivation!"
Having figured out the reason behind it, Lin Hanzhou's heart, which had sunk to the bottom, suddenly stirred with a very subtle ripple.
If the other party really considers him a fellow cultivator at the Immortal King level, or at least an old acquaintance, does that mean he can use this misunderstood identity to get close to these three terrifying old monsters and fool them a little?
Is this to buy some time, or even to look for that extremely slim chance of survival?
Lin Hanzhou cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound weathered and composed, and then he began to speak.
"I never expected this. This Immortal King perished in the long river of time, sinking into endless reincarnation for so many years, even this Immortal Realm has been reduced to ruins... I have just returned today, and there are still old friends who remember the name of this Immortal King."
Lin Hanzhou's words were impeccable. He acknowledged the identity of the "Immortal King Muyu" mentioned by the other party, pointed out his current low cultivation level after his "rebirth," and even subtly probed the relationship between the two parties by using the word "old friend."
He held his breath, staring intently at the three eerie immortal kings high in the sky, his heart pounding like a drum, waiting for their reaction.
However, what embarrassed Lin Hanzhou, and even made his scalp tingle for a moment, was...
As soon as he finished speaking, the already deathly silent Immortal Realm became even more frozen.
It was an extreme cold that seemed to freeze even the eerie black mist in the air!
The three eerie immortal kings floating in the crack in the sky did not have any intention of reminiscing because of Lin Hanzhou's "pretended profound" answer.
The eerie immortal king in the center, who had just spoken, flashed a crimson light in his deep, dark eyes!
"Hehehehe..."
A cold laugh filled with endless violence and killing intent came from the mouth of the eerie immortal king, like millions of poisonous insects gnawing at Lin Hanzhou's mind at the same time.
"An old friend? What an old friend..."
The eerie voice of the Immortal King was filled with undisguised mockery and cruelty. It slowly raised a withered hand wreathed in ominous black lightning and pointed it at Lin Hanzhou below.
"So that's how it is! It seems you really are a remnant of Immortal King Muyu's soul at work!"
"Back then, we forced you to burn your Immortal King Dao Fruit, leaving you severely injured and on the verge of death, and your whereabouts became unknown."
"Our biggest mistake back then was failing to kill you completely!"
The eerie Immortal King's laughter grew louder and louder, shaking the entire heavens.
"However, so be it! The wheel of karma turns, and since you've taken the initiative to appear before us today, it'll be convenient for us to eliminate you completely!"
Listening to the eerie words of the Celestial King in the sky, which sounded like a death sentence.
Lin Hanzhou, who was surrounded by the azure water, felt as if he had been trampled on the chest by ten thousand alpacas, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"What the hell..."
Lin Hanzhou cursed inwardly, feeling utterly devastated.
"After all this time, this isn't some old friend reminiscing at all; it's clearly run into a mortal enemy with a blood feud!"
Lin Hanzhou wished he could slap himself twice.
But it's too late for regrets now.
He was also very clear that no matter how he explained himself, saying that he was not Immortal King Muyu, or that he was just a melon-eating emperor who had just ascended from the lower realm, these three strange Immortal Kings would never let him go.
In the eyes of the eerie Immortal King, even if he wasn't the Rain-Soaked Immortal King, he could be killed at will without any reason.
As the saying goes, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway.
