Chapter 125: To Those Who Shine Brightly
Hearing this, the people around couldn’t believe their ears.
Zhao Wutian, this scoundrel, actually willing to hand over the “Yin-Yang Body” to a Guest Senior? It felt too discordant to even entertain such a thought.
“I am being sincere…”
He said with fake emotions: “Among everyone present, only you are worthy to be my opponent. When I become the perfect being, I will also need a powerful witness, and I hope that person will be you!”
He revealed a melancholic expression, like a sorrowful poet.
But Zhou Tong sneered inwardly.
That Dark Ice was already showing signs of melting; once exposed to the air, who would dare to be the first to make contact? They would be tainted by Chaos Malevolence.
This was no different than a time bomb.
The other’s sweet words were really aimed at burying a trap for Zhou Tong, eliminating this great threat!
The plan was well-constructed, but unfortunately, even the Chaos Malevolence did not intimidate Zhou Tong in the slightest.
He had at least nine methods to dispel it.
Nine methods!!
“Guest Senior, be careful, this guy has always been treacherous and might have some scheming tricks up his sleeve?”
The Empress said worriedly; she had considerable knowledge of this Grand Preceptor.
“What? Are you saying a powerhouse like Guest Senior is afraid of me?”
Zhao Wutian narrowed his eyes, unable to help himself from provoking.
It was simply because Zhou Tong was playing the role too convincingly. Up to now, he still believed that the other was an unparalleled powerhouse.
Zhao Wutian stubbornly believed that Zhou Tong was at least a Sage, and possibly above that.
Thus, despite knowing Zhou Tong had already been “sealed,” he still dared not act recklessly and could only play dirty behind the scenes.
“Hmph… you overestimate yourself.”
Zhou Tong mocked, “Bring it over, there’s nothing in this world that I cannot bear!”
“Truly worthy of being a Guest Senior, so bold, far better than some women.”
Zhao Wutian glanced at the Empress and casually threw over the Dark Ice.
Zhou Tong waved his long sleeves and completed the storage.
The two exchanged a glance across the distance, and both saw triumphant joy in each other’s eyes.
“Hahaha…”
Zhao Wutian’s shoulders shook, filled with playful intent.
“Hahahahaha…”
Zhou Tong laughed towards the heavens, his voice brimming with mockery!
“Since you’ve laughed enough, then I’ll send you on your way!”
Zhao Wutian stopped pretending. With a wave of his hand, the Great Formation operated again, crazily extracting the essence from lower-level cultivators and feeding it into the ten Blood Slaves!
In an instant, the aura of those Blood Slaves soared, boiling to the sky, completely suppressing the aura of the Human Race’s Semi-Sage!
“Roar!!”
The Blood Slaves roared, sounding unlike humans, climbing and darting through the air in bizarre postures, locking onto their targets and starting a bloody battle!
In just one exchange, the Human Race’s Semi-Sage was forced to bleed, showing a clear trend of defeat.
The opponent was too strong. Sometimes even two Semi-Sages working together couldn’t withstand a single Blood Slave. The strongest, Qian Miaoyu, was besieged by three Blood Slaves. Though not facing imminent collapse, she was too helpless to assist others!
Seeing this situation, even Zhou Tong frowned, feeling it was somewhat tricky.
“Guest Senior, you should give up. There are only two minutes left until half an hour is up; you won’t make it to the moment of recovering your strength!”
Zhao Wutian was relaxed, as if he had already secured victory.
“Is that so… Do you think I couldn’t have anticipated this situation?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a Spirit Talisman appeared at Zhou Tong’s fingertips.
The force contained within it was even stronger than Spirit Seal 91.
“This is…”
Zhao Wutian’s eyes widened, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Below, You Jingfeng was also focused, his face alight with surprise.
“There’s actually an even more powerful talisman!”
He gasped, unable to suppress the craving in his heart.
“Spirit Seal 92, to those who shine brightly!”
Zhou Tong tossed out the Spirit Talisman, causing Zhao Wutian to become highly alert, taking a defensive posture with all his effort.
But immediately after, the Spirit Talisman unexpectedly retreated and affixed itself to Zhou Tong’s body.
In an instant, he emitted a gentle dark light, this radiance enveloping heaven and earth, filling the cosmos, landing on everyone.
Under this light, even lower-level martial artists were shielded, no longer affected by the Great Formation.
“Everyone, please raise your hands and lend me some of your power!”
Zhou Tong’s voice echoed, warm and soft, making most of the people lower their guard.
“If it is the plea of a Sage, then we should all contribute our strength, all for the purpose of eradicating the demonic path!”
Tens of thousands of lower-level cultivators raised their hands without hesitation, and tiny beams of light slipped from their palms, gathering into Zhou Tong’s body.
Soon after, other powerful figures followed suit, lifting their hands and contributing their strength.
In the end, even Semi-Sage powerhouses joined in. Zhou Tong’s entire body shone brilliantly, dazzling but not blinding, his aura suddenly rising to a terrifying degree.
“Damn it!”
Tang Qi watched from below, jealousy almost driving him mad. Clearly, it was supposed to be him receiving all this attention!
“Everyone, don’t be deceived! His act of siphoning off cultivation is no different from that of a demon! We absolutely cannot let him succeed!”
Under the influence of his twisted emotions, Tang Qi shouted loudly, immediately attracting a wave of idiotic looks.
“Xiao Qi is right; you can know a person’s face but not their heart. We still don’t know what he intends to do by gathering this power!”
Mo Liushu struggled to rise and ordered several of her disciples beside her not to contribute power to the Guest Senior.
However, Chen Ling’er and Lian Hanxing treated her words as background noise and raised their hands together.
“Rebellious disciples, do you want to die?”
Mo Liushu was furious and was about to act against the two.
“Get out of the way!”
You Jingfeng’s furious shout struck like thunder on her figure.
Mo Liushu could only let out a shrill cry as she was blown away, her aura becoming extremely weak.
“What an extraordinarily profound Seal Art.”
The Old Man looked at the sky, his eyes filled with envy.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he looked towards the Little Demoness beside him.
“Cangyue girl, I heard from Xiaolian that you also mastered this Seal Art. Is that true?”
“That’s right… Zhou Tong personally taught me.”
The Little Demoness widened her eyes, staring at him without blinking, not lying.
Upon hearing this, the Old Man rubbed his hands excitedly, where was the demeanor of a Sage expert?
“Girl, do you see… could it be…?”
Before he could finish his sentence, the Little Demoness cut in: “I’m just a little girl who doesn’t understand anything. If you have any questions, just go directly to Zhou Tong; his stance is my stance!”
“Sigh!”
The Old Man sighed deeply. This girl was still as clever as before; his tactics to deceive her had completely failed.
“Boom!!”
At that moment, thousands of rays of light converged at one point, pushing Zhou Tong’s aura to its peak.
“This power…”
Zhou Tong looked at his palm, revealing a knowing smile.
“Maybe it’s one one-thousandth of my peak strength!”
His eyes opened and closed, like swords, piercing forward!
