Chapter 124: Jun Moyu [Third Update]

The destructive beam shot forth, and the world seemed to fall into a sudden, eerie silence. With a thunderous boom, Zhao Ritian’s attack was instantly pulverized. Luffy’s beam of light, unleashed with a single finger, shattered not only Zhao Ritian’s weapon but his hand along with it.

It was absolute dominance.

"Ah!"

A single strike had left him severely wounded, his arm completely obliterated. Zhao Ritian’s face twisted in agony as he shrieked, cold sweat pouring down his body. He was paralyzed with terror; had that strike hit his vitals, he would surely be dead. To be crippled by just one finger—who was this boy? How could he be so terrifying?

He realized this youth was a formidable enemy to his Young Master. He lunged to the side, desperate to flee, but Luffy gave him no such chance. With another flick of his finger, he sent out a second beam. Zhao Ritian was aghast, diving to the side, but he was too slow. In a desperate act, he detonated his own body, scattering himself into pieces to narrowly escape the blast as he fled into the distance.

"You’ve got to be kidding me..."

Luffy was speechless. Who would use such a perverse method to escape? He looked around, but the area was shrouded in a thick, hazy mist, obscuring everything. A cold wind whistled past.

The mist churned as Luffy walked forward. After a short distance, an ancient gate appeared, inscribed with the words: "The Underworld of Hades; No Living Souls Allowed."

Damn, he thought, this is supposed to be the Kunlun Mountains—how could there be a gateway to the Underworld? And "No Living Souls Allowed"? It was absurd; these places were everywhere.

He walked straight through. Whatever this "Underworld" was, it had to be a mere trick. Once inside, the air turned icy, and the fog roiled. Even with his Eye of Reincarnation, he could only see twenty meters ahead. It was truly eerie, the surroundings littered with bare bones and jagged rocks—desolate, ghastly, and terrifying.

"Those who enter, die."

A domineering, majestic voice boomed out. Suddenly, the countless bones scattered around began to move with a sickening, rattling sound, snapping their jaws toward Luffy.

"Roar!" The skeletons, their eyes glowing a blood-red, opened their hideous mouths like demons from hell to tear into him.

"Do you really think you can sink your teeth into me?"

Luffy unleashed his Dragon Aura and Nirvana Rebirth Flames. A blue, white, and golden radiance surged outward, engulfing the oncoming skeletons, turning them into ash or blasting them away.

Luffy continued forward until a massive giant, constructed from countless bones, emerged with a deafening roar. It wielded a jagged bone axe, wreathed in an aura of death, and swung it down.

"Boom!" With a massive crash, a girl with purple hair and a matching dress was sent flying backward, her face contorted in pain as she clutched a purple whip.

"Bang!" She collided with a soft wall, and as she pressed against it, she was surprised by its suppleness; she was completely unharmed. She turned her head and, seeing the boy she had crashed into, she froze.

"Uh..."

Luffy was speechless. He hadn't expected this beautiful girl to be sent flying into him, her hips pressed firmly against his groin.

It was incredibly soft and supple.

Of course, he had caught her to prevent her from flying off, and as he held her, it was impossible to ignore the sensation. His hands were braced against a pair of towering peaks—at least a 36D—and as for the feel, only Luffy knew that his hands couldn't even fully encompass them. Her back felt just as soft, and her skin carried the intoxicating scent of sweat mixed with the fragrance of battle.

The girl in the purple dress flushed with embarrassment. Then, realizing exactly where his hands were resting, she grew indignant and struggled to break free from his "dirty paws."

"Hmph!" She let out a cold snort, whipped her purple lash forward, and bound the skeletal giant. "Daring to send me flying? I'll show you what death truly is!"

"Boom!" The girl’s face was a mask of fierce resentment as she jerked her delicate hand. "Crack, crack, crack!" The giant skeleton shattered into a cascade of bones that clattered away across the ground.

"So, should I call you a pervert or a savior?" The girl asked, tilting her head and speaking with her back to him, her expression a mix of coyness and irritation.

"A savior sounds much better, don't you think? If I hadn't caught you, you would have been sent flying. Though, I admit, I didn't expect to catch such... wonderful places."

Luffy’s lips curled into a smirk, and he shrugged, looking entirely carefree.

"You! Shameless..." The girl was furious. She didn't believe for a second that his
