Chapter 166: Do Not Say I Did Not Warn You!
Hundreds of people descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.
“Greetings, Elder!”
The surrounding young people all bowed respectfully to Zhou Tong.
Although they had yet to join the Joyful Union Sect, facing the second-in-command of the Joyful Union Sect compelled them to show respect.
“No need for formalities!”
Zhou Tong accepted this naturally, waving his hand as three Earthlines merged seamlessly into the Great Formation without causing even a ripple.
However, Zhou Tong knew that the Profound Sky Nine Flowers Great Formation had received a massive enhancement and was accumulating power to advance to the Holy Array.
So far, six more Earthlines were needed, so it seemed he would have to go to the Jade Purity Sect at least two more times.
“Hmph… I didn’t expect a waste like you to have such a glorious day; truly, when there are no heroes, a monkey becomes famous!”
The voice of Iron Bear came, filled with disdain.
The two had crossed paths at the Hundred Sects Convention, where Zhou Tong had almost beaten Iron Bear to death, so he held a grudge.
In his mind, Zhou Tong was still in a disabled state and could not possibly be his opponent. As for the magnificent scene earlier, it was merely an Illusion Technique of the Joyful Union Sect to establish Zhou Tong’s authority—how could it fool his eyes?
He was here representing the five major sects to put the Joyful Union Sect in its place.
Now, Zhou Tong was a perfect breakthrough point.
“If I heard correctly, it seems you just insulted my Master?”
Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows with a hint of a wicked smile.
“So what if I did? Do you want me to say it again?”
The other party said unabashedly. Their sect leader and the powerful figures from the five major sects were still watching from afar, giving him ample confidence to act recklessly!
“It seems you are ready to bear the consequences.”
Zhou Tong stepped forward, hovering high above the other, looking down at him.
This position made Iron Bear frown; he did not like being looked down upon.
“Do you really think you can make me bear the consequences? Do you think you can kill me?”
“Not at all; whoever wants to kill you, I will kill instead. Even if the King of Hell were here, he wouldn’t be able to take you away!”
At these words, everyone was stunned.
Were these really words spoken to an enemy?
But immediately after, Zhou Tong made them shiver.
“Killing you would be too lenient; I’ll make you live long and endure the torment of countless cuts and the extraction of your soul and essence for an eternity!”
“At that time, you will understand that death is, in fact, a form of mercy!”
As his words fell, Zhou Tong struck.
“Life-Death Oblivion!”
He pressed down a single finger, instantly turning Iron Bear’s face pale.
“Preposterous!”
The guards from the Body Forging Sect reacted; they were Iron Bear’s bodyguards, all at the Heaven-Cutting Realm, strong enough to be elders in some second-tier sects!
However, in the next moment, they faced certain death.
Their bodies rapidly withered away, turning as black as charcoal and crumbling to dust with a soft poof, scattering across the ground.
This scene left everyone horrified.
What had Zhou Tong just done?
With but a casual gesture, ten Heaven-Cutting Realm warriors had died—what type of technique was this?
Could this truly be the strength of the Grand Elder of the Joyful Union Sect?
While Zhou Tong had been powerful before, he had never been this fierce!
Thud!
Iron Bear’s legs gave way, and he knelt, his pants instantly soaked.
A wise person knows when to yield!
“Please… don’t kill me…”
“You need not worry; I promised to let you live a long life!”
As these words fell, Zhou Tong prepared to deal with him.
“Stop!”
At that moment, a strong presence from the Life-Death Realm suddenly intervened, standing in front of Zhou Tong.
It was an elder from the Body Forging Sect, who did not hesitate to act upon seeing his talented disciple about to suffer.
“Why is it only you here? Aren’t those in the distance planning to come down?”
Zhou Tong looked at him with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, the elder’s heart raced; Zhou Tong had long noticed their presence.
“Young man, be merciful; you have killed so many already, it’s time to stop, or you will bring disaster upon yourself!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong grinned and asked, “What would you do if someone insulted your sect leader?”
With this question, the elder fell silent.
Had that happened, the Body Forging Sect would certainly have torn that person to pieces and eradicated their entire lineage!
“Hmph… what does it matter what you say? Without strength to back you, you have no right to demand fairness!”
Finally, the Body Forging Sect elder snapped in anger.
Boom!
The Profound Sky Nine Flowers Great Formation suddenly activated, causing the elder’s complexion to change dramatically.
“What do you intend to do?”
“I just find your argument very reasonable. From now on, I will use strength to speak with you.”
“No!!”
Without a second thought, the elder prepared to flee.
“Truly naive.”
Zhou Tong sneered, and the Profound Sky Nine Flowers Great Formation directly unleashed its power, severing his limbs and causing him to plummet from the sky.
“Don’t kill me!”
He cried out in terror, regret written all over his face as Zhou Tong closed his grip around his throat.
“Are you pleading for mercy through strength?”
“I’m sorry… I won’t dare again… I’m willing to apologize to you.”
“If apologies were of any use, what would be the need for Enforcers?”
Zhou Tong’s eyes were deep as he solemnly asked, “You only need to answer me one question, and I will let you go.”
“Alright… agreed. I will speak without reservation!”
“When I last raided your sect, I didn’t look closely. How many Earthlines does the Body Forging Sect have?”
“Three… three… why?”
“Very good.”
Zhou Tong’s hand tightened, and he crushed the elder to death!
“You insolent scoundrel… dare you!”
From a distance, the powerful figures of the five major sects were shocked by Zhou Tong’s bloody methods.
They had long known he was ruthless, but did not expect him to be so decisive.
He could kill so easily, destroy without hesitation—truly chilling!
But then, Zhou Tong stepped into the Void.
His gaze was like lightning, penetrating over a hundred miles, piercing fiercely into the eyes of the leaders of various sects.
Everyone felt as though Zhou Tong were not a hundred miles away, but standing right in front of them!
You all listen…
Zhou Tong began to speak; under the enhancement of his Spiritual Power, his voice nearly enveloped the entire Eastern Continent.
“The Body Forging Sect has wronged my sect and insulted my Master—this grudge cannot coexist!”
To seek justice, three days from now, the Joyful Union Sect will destroy the Body Forging Sect. Anyone who does not wish to be implicated should leave the Body Forging Sect as soon as possible!
From this day forth, there will no longer be this sect!
Do not say I did not warn you!
