“finally coming?”

Liu Bai raised his head, looked at the cloudless sky, and murmured in his heart.

Madam Liu’s murderous intent came and went quickly. The murderous intent that filled the wilderness disappeared instantly, and then the mother and daughter disappeared right there.

Liu Bai was still looking up at the sky, even when he returned to his own courtyard in Huangliang Town.

Madam Liu was no longer beside him, and no one knew where she had gone.

But her voice still echoes in this small courtyard.

“If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail… you perish.”

As the voice fell, a muffled groan suddenly came from behind Liu Bai. He turned his head and saw that the white deer that had eaten countless grasses in his home was slowly standing up.

The original hind legs stood on the ground, while the front legs evolved into human hands.

Finally, an old but tall man walked out from the deerskin and bowed deeply towards Liu Bai and the inner room.

As if he was grateful for being alive.

Little Gudong, who was originally beside him, screamed “Wow” and suddenly jumped behind Liu Bai, shouting loudly.

“Ghost, ghost.”

It was also the first time that Liu Bai saw the old yin man’s true appearance. He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him. His body size was comparable to that of Taoist Da Suan.

But he didn’t expect that this person would be the one who had plotted against him in the first place.

Moreover, he is a “half-demigod”, that is, he is above the level of enlightenment, but below the level of demigod.

Liu Bai didn’t know how he did it, but he did it. He thought he had only one foot on shore.

at the same time.

Go far west and walk along the city wall of Yincheng.

Zhang Cang, who was originally sitting here, has already stood up, and then one figure after another falls beside him.

Master Zhuojun, Xu Maogong, Taoist Master Dasuan…

And the person who finally stood beside him was the old Taoist master who was wearing a Taoist robe with his sleeves fluttering like white clouds in the sky.

Different from the hand-held axe last time.

This time he was carrying a peach wood sword on his back, but the sword tassel had long since rotted away, and now only a little bit of red rope could be vaguely seen on it.

“Let’s go, Taoist priest.”

Zhang Cang looked at the old Taoist priest who came to his side and whose aura seemed to have reached the level of a demigod, and smiled slightly.

“Walk.”

The old Taoist priest did not explain how he managed to forcibly raise his strength from that of a demigod, and Zhang Cang did not ask any further questions.

After the two of them finished talking, they didn’t even look at the others.

Each of them transformed themselves into two long rainbows, one black and one white, and went up into the sky like the sun.

The rest of the people can only look up.

Deep in the Endless Sea, in the middle of that prison of thunder, the sound of two people’s conversation could be heard.

“Hurry up, Hei Mu! A fight is about to break out!”

“You fucking think I don’t want to be quick?”

“If it weren’t for you, would I have ended up in this situation?”

“Stop talking, stop talking. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone has to get one hydrangea, I would have left.”

“…”

Above the Chu River, the surrounding river water gathered and turned into a human figure.

However, Lin Cenjun, who originally wore a single garment, was no longer wearing his yellow and white garment this time. Instead, he put on an elegant and luxurious black robe embroidered with gold edges and dragged on the ground, and wore a golden crown on his head.

His eyes also emitted a strong golden light.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and then his entire body turned into a brilliant golden light and ascended into the sky.

Further north, in the Qin territory, there was a man in a green shirt with gray hair on his temples flying into the sky with the wind.

Huangliang Town.

Liu Bai looked at Madam Liu who appeared in front of him again. He knew that there was something different about her, but he didn’t know what was different.

The latter glanced at the old sinister man still in the yard and frowned unhappily.

“The younger one will go first.”

The old sinister man quickly bowed his hands, and his body turned into a white light and ascended into the sky.

Madam Liu made a casual move and the grass crawled up behind her. Liu Bai was a little surprised to see it.

“Xiao Cao is going too?”

“Ah.”

Madam Liu obviously didn’t want to say more, she just nodded calmly, “Let’s go too.”

Little Gudong had already hidden behind the door. Seeing Liu Bai and Lady Liu about to leave, she mustered up the courage to step out and said loudly, “My dear, my lady, Little Gudong is waiting for you at home.”

“And… there’s also Brother Cao!”

Madam Liu, who usually didn’t respond to it, turned around for the first time and looked at her.

“it is good.”

As the words fell, two golden lights carrying human figures rose straight into the sky.

Finally, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in Liu Bai’s mind, regardless of gender.

“Kid, it’s up to you!”

It also knows the origin of the world, and this is the final battle.

“…”

As the starry sky above gradually became vaster, and as the ground beneath my feet turned into a sphere emitting a faint glow.

Liu Bai knew that he had indeed arrived in outer space.

This world is also a planet.

Those true gods who came from afar were like octopuses, entangled with this world where world consciousness was born. Outside this barrier, they greedily absorbed all energy and brought down their own pollution.

“Boom——”

Liu Bai clearly felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and then several human figures finally appeared in the originally chaotic starry sky.

Many of them are old acquaintances.

The Man-Slayer who had ascended to heaven earlier, and now he was no longer the human-headed and skeleton-like figure he had been before, but had long since returned to human form.

Surrounded by the four true gods, He sat calmly in the middle, with an upright posture, without any fear.

Liu Bai had heard of the faces of these four true gods a long time ago. The one sitting in the due north with a pitch-black shadow was the Witch God.

The stunning woman in a light pink gauze skirt sitting to the south is the god of joy worshipped by Gardenia.

To the east stood a figure in golden armor, emitting an aura of murderous warfare.

Even though Liu Bai didn’t recognize him before, just by sensing this aura at this moment, he could tell that he was the ancestor of military strategists.

The remaining true god who is half leaning against the void and seems to be very happy is naturally the God of Madness.

When Ren Tu saw Liu Bai’s gaze, he nodded and smiled.

The only true god left was Yanluo Lincenjun. He had changed his clothes and even his aura had changed greatly.

In addition, he had his back to him, so Liu Bai had to look at him several times before he recognized him.

And at this moment… he was looking directly at the largest bone-shaped deity outside the void, the ghost god.

Even if this ghost god is just sitting there, his size is much larger than the other true gods.

Furthermore, He was truly emanating a majestic divine power.

Liu Bai didn’t even dare to look up and meet his gaze.

After them came Zhang Cang, the old Taoist priest, Liu Wenzhi and the old Yinren, who were standing a little further away.

These four were demigods, so they knew their own limitations and stayed away from the battle from the beginning.

Seeing Liu Bai’s gaze, Liu Wenzhi waved at him.

“Go.”

Madam Liu patted Liu Bai’s shoulder gently, her tone relaxed and without much worry, as if everything was under control.

“Okay, be careful, mom.”

At this point, Liu Bai still couldn’t help but give a reminder, and after that, he stepped in front of the old Taoist priest and the other three.

“Why don’t I see Adao and Kuroki?”

Liu Bai asked directly.

Zhang Cang’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Liu Wenzhi, who leaned forward slightly with his hands folded in his sleeves, said directly: “Then you have to ask our good supervisor.”

“Don’t worry, it will be here soon.”

Zhang Cang sighed and could only say so.

“Liu Qingyi?” Suddenly a loud sound was heard outside the void, shocking everyone’s thoughts and making them want to bow their heads.

“You are very good.”

Before taking action, the ghost god actually praised Liu Qingyi, and then heard Him say:
“If you join my sect, I will ensure the safety of you and your child.”

When Liu Bai heard this, he subconsciously felt that this ghost was a paper tiger, and that he would beg for mercy and peace when he saw that he was no match for it.

But on second thought, he completely rejected the idea.

Ghosts and gods, there is no need to do this.

The reason why he said this now was simply because he was impressed by his mother’s talent and strength.

As soon as these words were spoken, worry appeared on Zhang Cang and Ren Tu’s faces.

Others may not know this, but they know it very well. In Liu Qingyi’s eyes… nothing in the world is more important than them and their mother!
A big part of the reason why Liu Qingyi was standing here was that she didn’t want Liu Bai to die, nor did she want to die herself.

Now there is a chance to survive, and this chance is in Liu Qingyi’s own hands…

Now even Zhang Cang was not sure what choice Liu Qingyi would make.

And all the people present, all the gods, set their eyes on Liu Qingyi.

The latter looked at him calmly and said slowly: “If you kill yourself here, I will become your disciple.”

After these words were spoken, not only Zhang Cang and Ren Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the four witch gods secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Liu Qingyi comes, let alone other things, there will be one more person above the four of them.

This is what they cannot tolerate.

But now, since Liu Qingyi dared to say this, the ghosts and gods will no longer tolerate her.

“It seems that the talks have failed.”

The ghosts and gods were not angry, but laughed instead.

But the more this happens, the more worried the human race becomes. What does this mean?
This shows that ghosts and gods think they have control over everything!
And since He didn’t take action, no one present dared to take action, so His gaze fell on Yanluo Lincenjun again.

“Tsk, I didn’t expect that there are so many talented people in your world. You have found the gaps. It’s a pity… you are too far away from the nearest big world. It will take at least a year or two to come here.”

“But… it’s too close to me.”

“I won’t kill you, so you don’t have to think about trying too hard. Just act for them to see.”

“hehe.”

Lin Cenjun smiled coldly after hearing this, “I advise you to kill me. Otherwise, wait for the Palace Master of the Great World to come over, and then I will tell you everything.”

As the ghost listened to these words, his jaw opened and closed continuously, and the entire starry sky seemed to be echoing with his laughter.

“A doll is a doll.”

“Do you think that I have been hunted less often because of my travels across this land? Are there fewer wanted warrants for me from the underworld and heaven?”

“If you have too many lice, you won’t feel itchy. One more is not too much, and one less is not too little.”

Hearing his hearty laughter, Zhang Cang and the old Taoist priest beside Liu Bai looked at each other, their eyes were both extremely heavy.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, just listening to the tone…

This ghost god should really not take the threat from the underworld seriously. The reason why he did not kill Lin Cenjun, the King of Hell, is that he just doesn’t want to cause any more trouble.

But this doesn’t mean He will be afraid of trouble!

After talking about the Lord Lincen of the Underworld, the ghosts’ gaze finally fell on…Liu Bai.

As soon as that breathtaking force fell on Liu Bai, he subconsciously took a step back. Immediately, he felt as if a barrier was erected on his body, shielding him from the pressure from ghosts and gods.

The longevity lock…the longevity lock that Liu Bai always carries with him!
It was made for him personally by Madam Liu, and Liu Bai always carries it with him. It was useful when he met Bai Fei, the ancestor of the Bai family who had achieved enlightenment.

And later it will be useful to the witch god.

Even now when facing ghosts and gods, this longevity lock is still effective.

“If you become my disciple, I will let your mother go. Otherwise… I will kill her. What do you think?”

The ghosts and gods are still threatening.

And this choice handed to Liu Bai…

“This……”

Liu Bai was really in a dilemma and didn’t even know how to make a decision. Now that things had come to this, he had to face real ghosts and gods.

He no longer doubted whether ghosts and gods had this power.

He felt that ghosts and gods really existed!

In other words, Madam Liu’s life is now in his hands. For a moment, Liu Bai felt his palms sweating.

Just at this time, Madam Liu spoke.

Her cold and indifferent voice made Liu Bai’s shoulders suddenly relax.

Otherwise, the feeling of deciding his mother’s life or death… was really too much for him to bear.

“Let’s fight. There’s no need to say anything after the fight. If we don’t fight, there’s no point in saying anything.”

“it is good.”

The ghost god agreed immediately, and then laughed and said, “Come on, come on, just you Liu Qingyi and this little Yama? Even if you can’t stop me, how about adding the hope of the human race in your world?”

The latter naturally refers to Ren Tu, who became a god by gathering the good fortune of the human race.

“So much nonsense!”

Liu Qingyi’s figure flashed and disappeared, going straight to the deeper part of the void.

Lin Cen Jun followed closely behind, still smiling, “I am also curious about what it would be like if I sent you into reincarnation.”

The ghost god who had already stood up and looked like a giant covering the sky smiled and replied: “The temple is too small to accommodate a Buddha like me.”

After saying this, He also strode forward and caught up with Liu Qingyi and Lin Cenjun who had already gone far away.

As soon as these three left, the remaining true gods felt relieved.

“Then we are the only ones left.”

Ren Tu laughed and stood up, then his face suddenly changed. He pointed at Wu Shen and Bing Zu and grinned, “Come again!”

After saying this, he didn’t care whether the two agreed or not, he took the initiative to attack, holding one head with one hand.

Then the three of them went in the opposite direction.

Liu Wenzhi and the old Taoist priest looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on the God of Crazy Flowers.

“Come, let the three of us learn from the great moves of the God.”

Liu Wenzhi walked forward, waving his sleeves, and the old Taoist priest and the old Yinren followed closely behind him.

The remaining Liu Bai and Zhang Cang naturally had to face this female god. Before Liu Bai heard Zhang Cang curse, “Those two bastards.”

Liu Bai: “???”

This is certainly not an insult to Liu Wenzhi and the old Taoist priest.

If anyone wants to curse, they would only curse Kuroki and Adao who haven’t reached heaven yet.

“Sir, let’s go too.”

The ghost took Liu Qingyi and Lin Cenjun to the northwest.

Ren Tu led the God of Witches and the Ancestor of Soldiers to the southeast, while the God of Crazy Flowers, Liu Wenzhi and the Old Heavenly Master went to the west.

So Liu Bai and Zhang Cang did not move.

Everyone else has left, so they won’t leave. This is where they choose to fight!
The two walked towards the God of Joy, one on the left and one on the right. The latter did not leave, but just watched them approach and smiled:

“An old man and a young boy are beating up a weak woman like me. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

This was the first time that Liu Bai faced a true God, and he never thought that he would have to fight with a true God so soon.

Therefore, facing the situation before him, he was extremely cautious.

Although you are powerful, you must not waste time.

This time… no one came to rescue!
My mother is being held back by ghosts and gods. Not to mention sending some spiritual energy to save her, even I am like a clay Buddha crossing a river and cannot save myself.

All that’s left is the origin of the world. If it dares to come out…why would it wait until now?

So now I can only rely on myself this time.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai became more cautious.

“I come!”

Zhang Cang on the opposite side shouted angrily, then jumped up and swooped down like a hunting vulture.

This was the first time Liu Bai saw Zhang Cang take action.

Demigod…is still cultivating the way of clone.

What will it be like if we start fighting?

Liu Bai soon found out. He felt that countless Zhang Cangs appeared in the void. The densely packed figures, one after another, all rushed towards the God of Joy in front of them.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

At this moment, Liu Bai really felt that Zhang Cang was determined to fight for his life as he actually used so many clones at the very beginning.

But at the moment, his body trembled slightly, and Liu Bai immediately woke up.

This is not a way to clone yourself. The scene before me is clearly an illusion.

Even Liu Bai, who used the Great Dao, could see this scene, not to mention that this was already the God of Joy of the True God.

She casually stretched out her right hand and pinched the neck of one of Zhang Cang.

In just a moment, all the Zhang Cang figures disappeared, leaving only the one who was pinched by the God of Joy.

Zhang Cang, whose neck was strangled, smiled bitterly.

It seemed to reveal a kind of bitterness of helplessness.

Liu Bai did not hesitate and immediately seized the opportunity. He slashed forward with his right hand, and a page of paper in the book of heaven and earth, the innate treasure in his body, suddenly disappeared.

Then a tearing sound was heard in the void above the God of Joy’s head, and the shadow of the avenue flashed by.

The pages of the book that were transformed from the blessed innate treasure, into a huge green sword with flowing light, pierced out from the void.

The God of Joy raised his head and took a look, still not forgetting to exert his strength. With a slight pinch, Zhang Cang was dead beyond death.

She casually threw Zhang Cang’s body aside, her hands in claw shape.

His ten fingers were slightly bent, and there seemed to be a road faintly grasped in his hands.

Then the two collided, and the huge green sword thrown by Liu Bai was easily torn into pieces by her.

Liu Bai stepped forward and retreated madly.

However, this God of Joy was unyielding and chased after Liu Bai.

In an instant, the two figures had retreated hundreds of miles.

But the distance is still getting shorter.

When the two confront each other, Liu Bai is no match for this true god.

Just as they were about to be caught up, the space between the two began to ripple slightly, and then Zhang Cang, holding a huge shield, walked out of the space.

“Bam—”

The God of Joy who was rushing towards him was naturally stopped by Zhang Cang, but the loud noise also shattered his huge shield into pieces.

Zhang Cang didn’t feel any pity at all. He threw away the broken shield and quickly retreated.

Returned to Liu Bai.

The God of Joy did not pursue him any further for a while.

And in the farther void, at a place that was unknown how far away, the noise coming from it was even greater.

Especially the battle between Madam Liu and the ghosts and gods.

As soon as Liu Bai stopped, he couldn’t help but look over there.

He was worried that something might happen to Madam Liu.

Zhang Cang, whose clone had just died, didn’t feel too sad. He called out to Liu Bai and rushed forward again.

At this point, the most strategic supervisor of the Chu State no longer has any plans at all.

Some have only one word…Kill!

In the face of such absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery would seem pale and powerless.

Just as Zhang Cang was about to move forward, the voice of ghosts and gods came from deeper in the void.

At one moment, all the fighting true gods stopped at the same time.

The ghost shouted angrily, “You little Yama, do you really think I dare not kill you?”

Following closely behind was the voice of Lin Cenjun.

“When ghosts and gods need to be killed, they should be killed without further explanation.”

“Damn it, Adao!”

Zhang Cang, who was beside Liu Bai, started cursing immediately.

Liu Bai naturally heard that the ghost was still holding back. If the fight continued, Ren Tu would probably have to come over to help.

In this way, someone has to take over the vacant positions of the God of Witches and the Ancestor of Soldiers.

If Kuroki and Adao hadn’t come…

It would be difficult for Liu Bai and his four companions to deal with four true gods alone.

Liu Bai followed closely behind, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that Zhang Cang seemed a little hesitant, as if he was considering something.

This old guy… has a backup plan!
“…”

“call–“

“You really have to trust Zhang Cang next time. You are such a bad guy.”

Endless Sea, outside the Thunder Prison.

Hei Mu’s clothes were tattered and covered in bloodstains, but it was obvious that he was still in very good condition.

Especially those eyes, they were shining.

Although Adao on the side was also cursing, he didn’t look very angry.

As they had already completely refined the hydrangea treasure, they naturally knew how powerful these two things were!
To put it bluntly, this treasure was obtained by delaying time.

Well worth it!
Very worth it!
Just like now, although he has been scolding Adao, if Adao hadn’t come, he would want to get this treasure on his own.

Not to mention whether it can be taken down, even if it is taken down… it will be useless.

Because this is a treasure that can only be activated by a true god.

After a brief moment of joy, when Hei Mu stood up, a black light flashed on his body, and his tattered clothes disappeared, replaced by a white robe embroidered with plum blossoms.

The whole person is full of energy again.

Ah Dao is also the same.

They both looked up at the sky. They had been delayed for so long, now… it was time to go up and take a look.

But just as they jumped up and prepared to leap into the sky.

Suddenly, several streams of sea water rose from the sea surface, gathered together, and finally turned into Zhang Cang’s figure.

“Supervisor?”

Kuroki was surprised and a little embarrassed.

But Zhang Cang didn’t have time to talk nonsense with him.

“You two should go to Wei State now and look for Ma Zhi in the small world of the Ghost God Cult. He will tell you what to do.”

“Remember, be quick!”

After Zhang Cang finished speaking, his figure turned into a pool of sea water again and disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

Hei Mu and A Dao looked at each other and headed straight to the northwest.

“go!”

“…”

Liu Bai didn’t know how many times he and Zhang Cang had fought off the attacks of the God of Joy.

He originally thought that if he and Zhang Cang joined forces, even if they couldn’t kill the God of Joy, they should have no problem suppressing him.

But he didn’t know until the real fight started.

He had both overestimated Zhang Cang’s strength and underestimated Xishen’s strength.

However, Liu Bai is still very aware of his own strength.

So this is the result now… The good thing is that I can still hold on, there is no problem at all.

The bad thing was that the noise from Madam Liu was getting louder and louder, and he even heard Madam Liu groaning once.

Even so, Kuroki and Adao still did not show up.

If they hadn’t come, Ren Tu wouldn’t have been able to get away.

Ren Tu did not fight with the ghosts and gods, which was exactly what Liu Bai was worried about.

He looked into the distance and saw a figure with his right hand missing being knocked flying backwards, but then the figure turned around and rushed towards the distance again.

Liu Bai vaguely saw that the old Taoist priest was seriously injured.

He was just a demigod who had attained enlightenment through secret techniques. It was reasonable that he was no match for the true God.

“We’re coming too.”

Liu Bai took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the shaking avenue.

Just as he was about to move forward, Zhang Cang beside him suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

“Ok?”

Liu Bai subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Normally, if Zhang Cang wanted to be alert, there was no need to pull or tug so obviously.

Instead, just say hello or even send a voice message.

Are you pulling and tugging like this because you are afraid that the God of Joy on the other side won’t see it?
Just when Liu Bai was puzzled, before he could ask any questions, he saw Zhang Cang attacking alone!

This time, Zhang Cang no longer tried to hide the use of one clone, but instead summoned out five demigod clones immediately.

As soon as he appeared, he pressed down on the God of Joy.

For a time, the God of Joy was defeated again and again.

“This old Deng… is so fierce!”

Liu Bai subconsciously had this thought in his mind, and then he was thinking about taking advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but Zhang Cang’s voice rang out in his heart.

“run!”

Zhang Cang forcibly suppressed his joy for a moment, but the first thing he did was to tell Liu Bai to run away.

As for Zhang Cang, the two sides have been cooperating for such a long time, and it is now, Liu Bai will naturally trust him unconditionally.

So as soon as Zhang Cang finished speaking, Liu Bai had already started to escape into the world barrier.

But when he looked back, he found that there were several Zhang Cangs beside Ren Tu, and they were working together to drive the ancestor of soldiers and the god of witches over.

The same thing happened to Liu Wenzhi and his two companions on the other side.

The God of Madness was also on his way.

At this point, the four true gods from the outer world were all driven to one place by everyone… What kind of strength does Zhang Cang have? !

Liu Bai took a quick look and found nine Zhang Cangs present.

Each of them possesses the power of a demigod.

This… isn’t it an exaggeration to say that it is the true God?
A thought flashed through Liu Bai’s mind. Although he was surprised, he had no time to ask more questions.

Just as he was about to pass through this world, he saw a ball rising up.

Extremely fast.

It was still in mid-air at first, but it was close in the blink of an eye.

Inside this ball… is a small world!

It’s still the small world of the Ghost and God Cult!
Liu Bai saw it clearly, he even saw three figures inside. If it wasn’t the three leaders of the Ghost and God Cult, Meng Ren, Mi Dou and Ma Zhi, then who else could it be?

At this time, the three of them were sitting in front of the thatched hut drinking.

Ma Zhi, who was facing Liu Bai, saw him standing outside the world, raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to him.

It was as if… inviting Liu Bai to have a drink together.

Something is wrong. I’m extremely afraid that something is 110% wrong.

Just when Liu Bai was puzzled, two heads suddenly popped out from behind this small world. They were Hei Mu and A Dao who had never appeared.

“Thank you for your hard work, young master.”

This was said by Kuroki.

“Sir, please move aside, but not too far. We’ll see something interesting later!”

This was said by Adao.

“it is good.”

Liu Bai responded and did not move after passing through the barrier of this world. As soon as he came in, the voice of the origin of this world rang in his ears.

“They are going to push this small world out and detonate it to see if they can kill those true gods.”

“Will this work?”

Liu Bai asked subconsciously, but he quickly reacted, “Ma Zhi and the others in there?”

“To set off a firecracker, you always need a fuse.”

The sound of the origin of the world is faint, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a sigh or a laugh.

So this small world is a big firecracker, and Ma Zhi, Meng Ren, and even Mi Dou’s residual soul, these few people who have attained the truth are the fuse…

This firecracker is really a big deal?!

Just as Liu Bai was thinking about it for a while, this small world had already been pushed out of this world by Adao and Hei Mu.

It was only at this moment that the ghost seemed to have sensed it, and cursed from a distance:
“Despicable bastard!”

His voice was rumbling, and even though Liu Bai was separated from it by a world barrier, he could still feel the terrifying sound of his voice.

But it was too late. (End of this chapter)
