Chapter 043: Reversing Yin and Yang

The zombie king suddenly realized, glaring at Wang Bo with fury, "You set me up—you're in league with them."

Setting up the Two Extremes Life-Death Array was extremely complicated. It was impossible for the netherworld deities to lay such a grand formation in the valley without alerting an expert like Wang Bo.

In other words, from the very beginning, Wang Bo had known about the Two Extremes Life-Death Array. He had just been stalling to let the array activate. He was no enemy of the netherworld, but its ally.

Wang Bo shook his head calmly. "You're wrong there. I'm not in league with them at all. My purpose in coming to this world is to protect it from being devoured by the netherworld."

"From a standpoint, both you and the netherworld deities are my enemies."

"Also, I really didn't know the netherworld had set up the Two Extremes Life-Death Array here. If I had, I wouldn't have been trapped in it either."

At this moment, Wang Bo's entire body was covered in deathly hues. The pervasive death qi, like countless sharp blades, pierced his skin, invaded his body, extinguished all his vitality, and turned him into a corpse.

The man wearing a crown sneered at the zombie king and said coldly, "You've been imprisoned beneath the eighteenth level of hell for far too long. The Two Extremes Life-Death Array has been revised countless times; it's no longer cumbersome and can be activated in an instant. Even if this were your true body escaping from hell, capturing you would be effortless for us."

The zombie king's face turned extremely ugly, his handsome features contorted.

Then the crowned man looked at Wang Bo and said indifferently, "You killed Ox-Head, destroyed the Terrace of Repentance, and slew Black Impermanence. Do you know your crime?"

Wang Bo, while blocking the pervasive death qi, looked at the crowned man. "Are you King Yama?"

The man shook his head. "I am not King Yama. I are King of Equality."

Wang Bo smiled. "I called you all here to eliminate the netherworld's great threat, but I didn't expect you to scheme against me too. Are all you netherworld folks so shameless?"

King of Equality sneered. "You cooperated with White Impermanence, ostensibly working with us to destroy the zombie king, but weren't you also plotting to gather us all and wipe us out in one fell swoop? We're even. It's just that our methods are superior."

Wang Bo clapped his hands. "I didn't expect you to see through my scheme."

King of Equality was taken aback. He hadn't expected Wang Bo, trapped in a desperate situation, to remain unflustered and even composed. Could this guy have another trick up his sleeve?

The zombie king also looked at Wang Bo expectantly. "We're both in dire straits now. If you have any way out, hurry up and use it, or we're both doomed."

Hearing this, King of Equality immediately roared, "Act now!"

In an instant, a man in a purple robe with bulging eyes and an ugly face appeared, joining King of Equality in activating the Two Extremes Life-Death Array.

Suddenly, the death qi and life force surged dozens of times stronger.

Wang Bo's defenses crumbled in an instant, and his vitality was extinguished at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, the zombie king's face turned ruddy, as if he were coming back to life.

He shouted anxiously, "Why haven't you made your move? Are you really waiting to die?"

Wang Bo said helplessly, "When did I ever say I had a way to break the array? I'm completely unfamiliar with this formation. How can I break out? Don't talk nonsense."

"What?" The zombie king was dumbfounded, staring in shock.

Wang Bo grinned. "I'll be going first."

With that, the last of his vitality was extinguished. He died completely, becoming a corpse.

The zombie king was so furious he wanted to curse. You damn well didn't have a way out, so why were you smiling so happily? You made me think you had something up your sleeve!

With Wang Bo dead, King of Equality breathed a sigh of relief and, together with the ugly-faced man, activated the array to kill the zombie king.

Knowing he couldn't escape, the zombie king gave up all pretense and said coldly, "Do you think you've already won? No, I haven't lost. When the netherworld devours the mortal world, that will be the day of my escape. Then I will overthrow the netherworld, shake the Three Realms and Six Paths, reverse heaven and earth, and change the sun and moon."

King of Equality sneered. "With such petty tricks, you want to escape? Dream on."

Without waiting for the zombie king to say more, he and the ugly-faced man utterly annihilated him.

With a pop, the zombie king's projection shattered into specks of starlight and vanished without a trace.

Only then did King of Equality withdraw the Two Extremes Life-Death Array. Smiling, he turned to White Impermanence and said, "This time, wiping out the zombie king and the one who challenged the netherworld in one fell swoop is largely thanks to you. When the netherworld devours the mortal world, I'm sure you'll advance even further."

The ugly-faced man also cupped his hands. "Congratulations, White Impermanence."

White Impermanence said coquettishly, "Killing these two was all thanks to King of Equality and Judge Zhong's brilliant plan. I dare not claim the credit."

King of Equality laughed heartily, while Judge Zhong said, "Not at all. If White Impermanence hadn't hidden the base of the Two Extremes Life-Death Array in his own body, we couldn't have trapped them so easily. You deserve the most credit. I..."

Pfft!

Before Judge Zhong could finish, an arm suddenly burst through his chest, piercing his body.

"So your surname is Zhong, Judge Zhong. With such an ugly face, you wouldn't be Zhong Kui, would you?"

Wang Bo's voice came from behind Judge Zhong.

"But it doesn't matter. You're about to die anyway."

The next second, Judge Zhong's body was torn apart, turning into specks of starlight and vanishing into the air.

Wang Bo looked at the terrified White Impermanence and the grim-faced King of Equality, smiled slightly, and said, "Hello, you two."

King of Equality said darkly, "Reversing yin and yang, overturning life and death—impressive skill!"

Now he finally understood why Wang Bo could smile so cheerfully in the face of death: because the man could come back to life.

He could tell that Wang Bo had truly died just now.

Dead as a doornail.

But now the man was standing before him, lively and kicking. Other than reversing yin and yang and overturning life and death, King of Equality could think of no other explanation.

Wang Bo clapped. "Exactly. To kill me, you'd have to do it a few hundred times in one go—otherwise, it won't work."

Of course, he was bluffing.

With the skills Wang Bo possessed, dying a few dozen times would be the end; he wouldn't be able to revive again.

But King of Equality didn't know that, so Wang Bo could brag to his heart's content without fear of being exposed.
