Chapter 100: Can He Really Pluck the Stars from the Sky?
“Make your move; I’ll make you regret coming to this world.”
Zhou Tong spoke coldly.
He rarely uttered such harsh words, but this time, he was prepared to go all out.
The woman before him would soon learn what it meant for disaster to stem from her words.
“Finally caught up.”
You Feng, You Chong, and the remaining Life-Death Realm expert appeared outside the city wall, their breathing somewhat ragged.
“That’s a fast speed; even at full speed, I can barely catch up.”
“Night Orchid sister can’t be in trouble, right?”
You Chong swallowed nervously, full of concern.
“Shut your filthy mouth.”
You Feng scolded, “That woman has a special identity and possesses many treasures. With the Divine Listening Sacred Pig, even a Life-Death Realm warrior cannot do anything to her.”
“But the other side… has already killed two Life-Death Realm experts!”
Upon hearing this, You Feng’s expression paused, but soon his brows relaxed slightly.
“Have you seen him make a move?”
You Chong shook his head cluelessly.
“I’m not lying.” The Life-Death Realm expert defended.
“I understand, but what the eyes see isn’t necessarily the truth. Let’s wait and see.”
“You little ant sure knows how to act impressive, but unfortunately, that won’t save you.”
You Yelan’s expression turned cold; no one had ever dared to offend her like this. Zhou Tong was already on the path to certain death.
She was about to get serious.
As she stepped forward, a searing heat swept from her body, flames spreading, turning even the clouds in the sky red.
Suddenly, people within dozens of miles felt a sharp pain in their ears; it turned out to be a loud phoenix cry that echoed through heaven and earth.
“Is this Night Orchid sister’s Dharmakaya? I’ve never seen it before; I didn’t expect it to be the Fire Phoenix Dharmakaya!”
In the high sky, a phoenix phantom towering a hundred feet soared with incredible force.
The pressure it emitted was so heavy that the earth cracked open, and plants burned, depicting a scene of catastrophe.
“Summon your Dharmakaya.”
You Yelan looked at Zhou Tong, sneering.
Zhou Tong remained unmoved.
“Hahaha… How could I forget? You’re just a mere Unity Heart-Mind Realm; you can’t comprehend the power of a Dharmakaya at all!”
You Feng and the others exchanged glances; it seemed Zhou Tong really hadn’t trained his Dharmakaya.
Which meant his cultivation level wasn’t a sham.
With this realization, the two brothers felt a weight lift from their hearts.
“Don’t underestimate him, young sirs; things are not as simple as they seem.”
The Life-Death Realm expert’s face remained grave. That night’s instant death had taught him one thing: even harmless-looking things might hide terrifying monsters behind them!
“I think you’re overthinking it. With the realm suppression and treasure suppression, even if he had three heads and six arms, he wouldn’t escape disaster.” You Feng said, completely relaxed.
“Hahaha… You’re right; unless he can pluck the stars from the sky!”
Seeing Zhou Tong still not moving, You Yelan’s smile grew more audacious.
“It looks like you’ve realized our gap. I won’t bully you; you can make the first move.”
“Of course, if you want to live, you can also kneel down and be my dog immediately.”
“Shut up!”
Zhou Tong finally exhausted his patience; as soon as he struck, he bestowed upon the opponent a celestial maneuver.
“Boom!”
The layered clouds exploded, the stars shone brightly, and a blazing light swept across the world, as if the sun had fallen.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey….”
You Feng’s eyes widened, his muscles spasming as he could only repeat a word over and over.
“What the hell is this!!!”
You Chong was even more stunned; he had just jokingly said about plucking the stars, and Zhou Tong did it right before his eyes.
Could Zhou Tong be a wishing pool?
He didn’t believe it.
“Hmph… Hmph… If you’re so powerful, show me a level nine spirit talisman right here!”
His eyes were now darting, and his mouth was out of control, spouting nonsense.
As the stars descended, You Yelan was the first to bear the brunt, fear etched on her face.
“No… he shouldn’t have such means; this may be an illusion.”
With a sharp bite of her tongue, she used the pain to break free from her fear.
“Pretentious, watch me expose you!”
She raised her finger, and the phantom of the hundred-foot phoenix surged upward, crashing towards the stars.
“Bang!”
A substantial thud rang out as the two collided, and You Yelan realized how mistaken she was.
Her phoenix Dharmakaya didn’t even have a chance to struggle; it was instantly extinguished, leaving no residue behind.
You Yelan also suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But she no longer cared about the backlash; the star was falling directly towards her.
“Boom!!!”
The power of this strike went without saying; the earth cracked, smoke billowed, and the shockwave devastated everything, affecting the three watching from a distance.
You Chong, the weakest, was shaken to the point of bleeding from his orifices.
This was still the result of Zhou Tong holding back; had he not feared the consequences reaching the Imperial Capital dozens of miles away, this strike would have been even more terrifying.
“Who said he’s in the Unity Heart-Mind Realm? Is this a joke!”
As the smoke cleared, You Yelan reappeared; she hadn’t turned to dust, but she was in a dire state.
Her body was drenched in blood, and her luxurious clothing was in tatters, exposing large areas of her fair skin.
A golden barrier shimmered with ripples around her, saving her life.
“That star should be a one-time-use treasure. Now that you can’t use it anymore, the next moment will be your death!”
You Yelan was furious; from childhood to now, she had never been this embarrassed.
With a wave of her hand, over a hundred spirit talismans surged out, swirling around her.
“Eighty-seven level six spirit talismans, twenty-three level seven spirit talismans…”
You Feng was utterly astounded. No wonder You Yelan was so confident; it turned out she had hidden cards.
Any level seven attacking spirit talisman, when casually used, could severely injure a Life-Death Realm expert. With such a terrifying lineup, Zhou Tong was bound to have no chance of winning.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel obediently and be a dog; there’s still a glimmer of hope for survival. Otherwise, once I make my killing move, your soul will scatter!”
She gasped for breath, wanting to subdue him without a fight.
After all, these spirit talismans were worth their weight in gold, and using each one caused her immense pain.
“Spirit!”
Zhou Tong did not respond, launching another attack.
A spirit talisman formed at his fingertips, and with a flick of his finger, it flew forward.
“Showboating, overestimating yourself!”
Seeing this, You Yelan was filled with glee; their Celestial Master Clan’s Talisman Way was the strongest, and Zhou Tong flaunting in front of her was nothing but self-humiliation.
“Let me see, what level is your spirit talisman?”
As soon as she opened her Heavenly Eye, she was stunned, as if she had seen a ghost.
Then she rubbed her eyes again and looked once more, her lips trembling.
“This is… a peak level eight spirit talisman! This is impossible!”
In the next moment, Zhou Tong’s voice resounded throughout the land.
“Talisman eighty-nine… Dead Line!”
