A rage blazed in Li Muchen's heart. He shouted and rushed into the yard like an angry lion. His figure shuttled between the flames and the ghost messengers. Every time he waved his arms, a group of ghost messengers were knocked to the ground. He had only one thought in his mind - to stop this disaster and save his family.

"Let them go!" he roared, his fists turned into flames, and pounced on Pluto like falling stars from the sky.

Pluto smiled coldly, stood up from the chair, and held a glowing sickle in his hand.

He shook his left hand, and the wide black robe on his body flew up, turning into a thick black mist, blocking Li Muchen's fist. Then he swung the sickle in his right hand, and a black death aura tore through the void, turning into a pale light and cutting towards Li Muchen.

Li Muchen dodged the sickle's attack like a ghost. He tapped his feet on the sickle's light, and like a nimble swallow, he instantly got in front of Hades, clenched his right fist, and with a whistling fist wind, he blasted towards Hades' chest like a cannonball.

Pluto was not in a hurry, and held the sickle in his hand horizontally to block Li Muchen's attack. The fist and sickle collided with a dull loud noise, and the powerful impact caused the air around the two people to vibrate violently, forming circles of ripples visible to the naked eye.

"Li Muchen, you're nothing but this!" Hades smiled coldly, with a faint blue light in his dark pupils.

"Let them go! They are all innocent!" Li Muchen roared.

"Everyone in the Li family deserves to die! None of them is innocent!" Hades said fiercely, "Blame your father if you want to blame anyone. This was his choice!"

With a tear, the sickle's blade flashed like lightning, Li Muchen's clothes were cut open, and black blood oozed from his chest.

"No! They have nothing to do with him!"

The miserable wails in the raging fire gradually weakened, and Li Muchen was filled with grief and anger.

At this moment, the sound of iron chains was suddenly heard.

From the corner of his eye, Li Muchen saw a man in a black robe, dragging an iron chain in his hand, and at the end of the chain was a figure stained with blood.

The chain dragged her through the sea of ​​fire in the yard, passing by Li Muchen and Pluto.

Beyond is the abyss of nothingness.

Li Muchen saw that face, which looked almost identical to Gong Yuerong. Even with her messy hair and blood all over her body, her beauty could not be concealed.

His heart was pounding, and his eyes instantly became filled with fear and anxiety.

He knew that it was not Gong Yuerong, but his mother Gong Lingyan.

"Mother!"

Li Muchen wanted to rush forward to save people, but was entangled by Hades. The damn sickle and the breath of death made it difficult for him to escape.

"Mu Chen..."

Gong Lingyan's voice sounded weakly, as if it came from a faraway place, carrying endless sadness and guilt. Her eyes met with Li Muchen's, her eyes full of reluctance and concern.

"Mother!"

Li Muchen no longer cared about anything else and ran towards his mother regardless of everything.

boom!

Hades' fist crashed into his back like a mountain.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his whole body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily to the ground, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Li Muchen woke up from a deep sleep, but his body felt so heavy as if it was filled with mercury. He couldn't move at all, and even couldn't open his eyelids.

He took a deep breath, then used all his strength to flip over...

Ah, I can finally move!

His chest heaved violently and he gasped for breath.

The eyelids slowly lifted, and a ray of faint light entered the eyes.

There was endless darkness all around, and the huge figure of Pluto stood quietly in front of him, holding a sickle in his hand, looking at him as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

"You're awake!" Pluto's voice was unreal and ethereal, as if it came from all directions in the west, and as if it first sounded in his mind.

"Where is my mother?" This was Li Muchen's first thought.

"Want to save her?" Hades looked down at her like a judge. "Why don't you ask the Li family? It seems that more of the Gong family's blood is flowing in your veins."

"I will save them." Li Muchen said.

“Hahahaha…” Hades laughed a strange laugh, like a duck quacking under the water, “You can’t save them. The more you want to save them, the more they will suffer, because your obsession will keep their lives in the flames.”

After saying that, he swung his sickle.

Virtual light flashes and space transforms.

Li Muchen saw the dilapidated Li residence again and the Li family members kneeling in the yard. They were struggling painfully in the flames. Some had charred skin and flesh, some had their chests and abdomens burned through, flames burning their internal organs, and some had their heads turned to charcoal, but they were still making miserable cries.

"The Li family is guilty of eternal sin, and its evil is heinous!" The voice of Hades' judgment resounded through the void.

"Stop!" Li Muchen shouted loudly, wanting to rush over to save people, but found that his body seemed to be fixed and he couldn't move at all. He felt helpless and painful, watching his family suffer in the flames, but he was powerless to do anything.

At this time, the man in black who was pulling the chains came out from the darkness in the distance again. The chains rattled on the ground. Gong Lingyan was covered in blood and was dragged on the ground until he was in front of Hades.

Hades raised the scythe in his hand.

"No!" Li Muchen shouted loudly.

The sickle was high above, flashing a vague white light.

"Now I give you a choice. Save the Li family or the Gong family?" Hades' voice sounded as cold as ice. "Remember, you only have one chance to choose. The time to test you has come. This will also prove what bloodline flows in your body? Where will your path lead?"

"No! I won't choose any side! I want them all alive!" said Li Muchen.

"If you don't make a choice..." Hades laughed that strange laugh again, his sickle flashing coldly, and the fire in the distance became even more intense, "They will all die!"

Li Muchen stared at the sickle infatuatedly. Flames were dancing on the snow-white blade, and the light and shadow were reflected on his mother's face lying in a pool of blood.

He saw his mother's face smiling at him, as if to say: "Choose them, don't worry about me, I'm just one person, and the Li family has so many people!"

He turned his head and looked towards the blazing hell. Grandpa Li Tiance had only one eye left on his charred face. His gaze pierced through the flames and said to him with his eyes: "Choose her, choose your mother. When we welcomed her into our family, we were already prepared for this day. If she dies, everything we have done will be in vain. You are the bloodline of our Li family. As long as you are here, the incense of the Li family will never be cut off!"

“Hahaha, hahaha…” Hades’ laughter echoed in the void, “Hurry up and make your choice! The flames of hell and the blade of death in my hand can’t wait any longer!”

There were dots of light above my head falling like raindrops, sinking into the bottom of the sea.

Li Muchen calmed down, looked at the snow-white sickle, and said, "Okay, I choose..."
