Lin Hai might not know, after the old man left the Netherworld Guest's cell, he just turned the corner to Taotie's cell.

At the level of a Half-step Human King, Gang Qi Transmission can actually reach a thousand steps.

"Master Ancestor."

From the rebellious cell, came Taotie's respectful voice.

If anyone familiar with the famous name of Taotie witnessed this scene, they'd definitely be shocked to the core.

Killing as if eating and drinking, the inherently cold-hearted Taotie, would have such a side.

"The ones outside who wanted to assassinate you have all been taken care of by your senior brother," the old man said with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother," Taotie's voice came out.

"Do you still hate your master?" the old man asked.

"No hate, I've never hated my master," Taotie replied.

The old man nodded, slightly regretful: "Back then, unexpected changes happened. Your master and I were both struggling to find a solution. We really couldn't make it in time to save that little girl you liked."

"..." In the room, Taotie's breathing seemed heavier, slightly aggressive, obviously due to the incident from back then, making it difficult for him to control his emotions.

"When we have the chance in the future, we will surely take revenge," the old man said again with a smile.

"I await that day's arrival, otherwise I refuse to die," Taotie answered.

"Alright, if you now fight desperately without considering the consequences, you can temporarily reach the strength of a Legendary Peak. You should go out for a walk. Your junior brother, the Netherworld Guest, is already outside. Without your suppression, he might cause some big trouble," the old man said.

"Go out..." Taotie hesitated.

He wasn't unwilling to go out, he was afraid, afraid that after going out, he couldn't control his emotions, seeking out enemies, and potentially causing chaos.

"Still afraid? Don't worry, your current composure is already sufficient. Go out, that Lin, you can become friends with him, help him if necessary."

"Master Ancestor, who exactly is he?" Taotie asked.

The old man shook his head with a smile: "I just feel, he and I share similar interests. I've studied this kid's profile. He's surrounded by many beauties, reminiscent of my own style back then, hehe."

With that, the old man had already left, leaving Taotie in the cell to smile bitterly. The Master Ancestor, when cold, commanded great respect, but once returning to normal, he became... uh, rather disrespectful in old age.

"Since the Master Ancestor said I can go out, I should stretch my legs too. Netherworld Guest, my junior brother, you've betrayed the master, so don't blame me for being merciless."

Bam——

Suddenly, Taotie's entire skeleton seemed to be writhing continuously, his once turbid eyes burst forth with sharp vision, his whole person seemed to restore to a peak state of spirit, qi and mind in an instant.

The twelve chains binding him, vaguely trembled, making a brittle cracking sound.

Taotie suddenly exerted force underfoot, causing a resonant tremor.

With a loud bang, the iron chain as thick as an adult's arm shattered into pieces.

Taotie's muscles were as if embedded with steel plates, his upright figure outside would be enough to make numerous noblewomen scream and yearn for him to conquer and ravish them.

"I should be going out..."

After speaking, Taotie leaped lightly, inconspicuously, and soared out through the small iron window.

For him, Bone Shrinking Skill was simply effortless.

A latent dragon, forever unable to be locked in the abyss, destined to soar the sky.

...

Three days passed almost in the blink of an eye.

Lin Hai also accumulated and settled during these three days.

All along, he had been busy among the common folk, without earnestly comprehending his own cultivation technique and Martial Path.

Now, in these three days, Lin Hai almost entered a meditative state.

However, his non-speaking, non-eating manner appeared pretentious to other prisoners, who sneered at him, thinking Lin Hai was putting on airs.

After all, during these three days, Satan and the Punishment Angel had declared they would kill Lin Hai, as Cao Dan had obviously offered them tremendous benefits as an incentive.

Everyone thought Lin Hai was a coward, waiting to see how he would end up beaten like a dead dog after today's upcoming battle, thoroughly ravaged.

"Now announcing, the Death Pass battle, begins."

In the morning, an abrupt voice sharply rang out.

Not using a speaker, but Gang Qi, covering the entire A-2 area, showcasing this person's formidable strength.

During these three days, Lin Hai also learned a few little secrets, like the Death Pass battle was indeed meant to reduce the number of experts in A-2 area, while also providing some with a chance for freedom.

Lin Hai did not know why the warden of the Heavenly Prison wanted to reduce experts.

However, now these matters were beyond his consideration.

Opening his eyes, along with the announcement of the battle start, Lin Hai found the prisoners who hadn't bothered him for three days were now all glaring murderously.

"Kid, I've tolerated you for days, I actually work under Lord Satan, hehe."

The sullen man who initially entered this cell grinned viciously as he swung a punch at Lin Hai's head.

"Looking for death?"

Lin Hai's lips curled into a cold smile, without dodging, he caught the opponent's fist, retaliating fiercely with a knee strike to the abdomen.

Crack——

Pfft——

Sounds of bone breaking and spitting blood echoed.

The sullen man, like a kite with a broken string, was thrown back violently, slamming into the wall, his neck snapped aside, instantly dead.

One move!

Silence engulfed the entire cell once more.

Everyone stared at Lin Hai with fearful eyes, the murderous gleam in their eyes was completely extinguished.

"Are you also Satan's men?" Lin Hai coldly asked.

All prisoners simultaneously and wildly shook their heads.

They realized, the sullen man with second-rank supreme strong power couldn't even withstand a single move from Lin Hai, instantly aware of the fear-inspiring strength of the person in front of them.

In fact, Lin Hai had now reached a peak state. After a fierce battle, he could easily break through to peak supreme strong power.

Clang, all A-2 area cell doors swung open.

Lin Hai walked out of the cell, immediately sensing his presence locked onto.

Directly ahead, a figure dressed entirely in black clothes was gazing at him.

"Satan?"

"Indeed, and you've managed to recognize me. Kid, your head is quite valuable now, give it to me."

"Sure, many want my head. If you want it, come take it, provided you can."

Between words, their gazes clashed, filled with fierce fighting spirit, their bodies simultaneously moving, fists against palms.

The two figures moved like arrows loosed from a bow, swift as lightning.

A fist seemingly capable of shattering mountains and rivers, a palm as though piercing clouds and lightning.

Bang bang bang——

A thunderous cacophony, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Satan's eyes became unprecedentedly solemn, shock overwhelming within, information did not match, the Lin Hai before him was not a second-rank expert, but faintly more formidable than himself.

"What...exactly is your strength?"

"Enough to kill you!"

After Lin Hai spoke, without a word more, he pressed the attack forward.

Earlier, he had only utilized fifty-percent strength probing, having gauged Satan's power, merely a first-class supreme strong.

While now, he was on the verge of stepping into peak supreme strong.

"Hmph, arrogant, I am Satan!"

Satan roared, murderous intent tremendous, releasing full strength in a punch towards Lin Hai, the speed and force of the punch so fast, screeching metallically in the air.

Sound barrier, due to the punch's speed.

"I am King Yan!"

Lin Hai replied, voice cold, like the everlasting Yama King, at the same time unleashing the Eight Stele Hand, exerting twelvefold power.

The intent of the palm like a knife, seemingly able to sever flowing water.
