Chapter 174: Spoiling Your Bearish Troubles!
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
A terrifying aura swept through, and immediately after, all the strange creatures in the space exploded!
“Who?!”
The Beast Taming Sect’s people felt their hair on end, feeling as if they were being watched by a terrifying fierce beast.
“Your ancestors!!”
“Boom!”
As the words fell, Zhou Tong and Zhang Chuqiao stepped forward and came before everyone.
“Big Brother!”
“You little beast!”
Two completely different calls rang out simultaneously. The first caller leapt into Zhou Tong’s arms, while the latter had his tongue yanked out by Zhou Tong!
“Aaaaahh…”
The leader of the Beast Taming Sect covered their mouth in shock, blood spurting out between their fingers.
The others were so frightened that their seven souls flew away, momentarily stunned on the spot.
“Is… is this even Zhou Tong?”
Such brutal means, easily controlling the life and death of those in the Life-Death Realm, he was truly a monster.
After a brief silence, another elder of the Beast Taming Sect finally snapped back to reality.
Trembling in every limb, his finger pointing at Zhou Tong, his face unreadable, whether it was anger or fear.
“You… how dare you.”
“That’s enough, enough. Don’t speak, let’s talk once you’re inside my Human Emperor Sword.”
Zhou Tong said impatiently and activated his Earthly Sword and Netherworld Furnace. In an instant, a sword emitting black smoke appeared in his hand.
With a gentle swing of that sword, a sky-covering black vapor spread, enveloping everyone.
The Beast Taming Sect instantly suffered heavy losses; the weaker ones burst instantly. Their souls, trapped by the Netherworld vapor, could not be freed and would forever be enslaved!
“What is this… aaaaah… do you use these evil means and fear no condemnation from the world?!”
“What is justice or evil? It’s whatever I say!”
Zhou Tong chuckled coldly as he intensified his power. A mist of black filled with wandering souls drifted, where three terrifying and bloodthirsty shadows were on a rampage.
They were the remnants of three Devil Kings, the main commanders of the ghost army, who made quick work of their foes like cutting through melons.
“Wait, wait! This might be a misunderstanding! We have something to say!”
The elder of the Beast Taming Sect’s face turned pale with despair as they finally begged for mercy.
“I know… let’s talk inside the sword. I’ll entertain you properly.”
Zhou Tong was cold and unsympathetic, even Chu Ran was terrified to the point of sweating cold sweat.
When did this master become so terrifying? Fortunately, the sect leader had given strict instructions: never offend him, otherwise, something unspeakable might indeed happen.
“Big Brother did a great job, beat these bad guys down, not one left!”
Shangguan Wugou cheered joyfully, making Chu Ran’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
“Those who are close to the corrupt will be corrupted.” Perhaps this young lady has been influenced into becoming a devil king of the world?
At the same time, the black vapor eroded further, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were wiped out completely. Only one elder remained, doggedly resisting.
“Lord, I’ve realized my mistake, please don’t kill me. I know a great secret that will surely benefit you. Give me one chance!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong frowned but still retracted the black vapor.
“Speak!”
The person knelt directly down, their face full of hope for life, gazing expectantly at Zhou Tong.
“If I tell you, would you spare my life?”
“You have no bargaining power.”
Zhou Tong said coldly.
“If you cannot guarantee my safety, I will not speak.”
The other person gritted their teeth as they desperately fought for their rights.
“Spoiling your bearish troubles!”
Zhou Tong had lost his patience; he placed a hand on the person’s crown of the skull and activated the search method.
“Aaaaaah… I’ll talk, I’ll talk, stop, please!”
“Too late, idiot!”
In a short while, the person’s soul exploded, their flesh scattered, dead beyond all measure.
“There really is a secret.”
Zhou Tong’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The luminous coins were indeed the currency of this world. Just by going down a level, there were more valuable strange creatures to encounter, and treasures could be exchanged using luminous coins.
Of the most valuable ones was the “Four Symbols Pool.”
These were four training pools, each corresponding to the Four Symbols mythical beasts. Bathing in them would quickly upgrade disciples with lower cultivation.
This might be useless to Zhou Tong, but it presented a grand opportunity for the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect.
“This thing, I must have it.”
Zhou Tong stated firmly.
Through mind-search, he knew that to obtain the Four Symbols Pool, an inheritance key was necessary, and the key to the Dragon Transformation Pool was located to the east on the first level.
At that moment, a youthful voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.
“Big Brother, can we travel with you?”
Shangguan Wugou clung to Zhou Tong’s chest and asked hopefully.
“What do you both think?”
Zhou Tong looked at Chu Ran, he was the leader of the Supreme Clarity Sect team.
“Of course, absolutely!”
Chu Ran didn’t hesitate for a moment and quickly agreed. Sticking with this master was the safest choice!
“Then let’s go to the east!”
Zhou Tong became the leader of the entire group. His words were commands.
“Mr. Zhou, please wait, do you know what this is?”
Chu Ran seemed to remember something, showing his arm which had light spots attached.
He continued: “This is important. If possible, please try to collect as much of it!”
“We know.”
Zhang Chuqiao chuckled while covering her mouth.
“That’s great. We’ve already collected six thousand, with both of your extraordinary skills, though your numbers might not match ours, I assume you must have collected three or four thousand by now, right?”
The elder sister showed a strange smile.
“Sorry, I’ve collected sixty thousand.”
“What?!”
Chu Ran’s eyes nearly popped out, unable to believe his ears.
“Don’t be so surprised yet, why don’t you ask your junior apprentice brother?”
Hearing this, others were again stunned and looked toward Zhou Tong.
“My humble self is not much compared to the elder sister, but I’ve managed to collect nineteen million!”
There was a thud.
Everyone from the Supreme Clarity Sect knelt down.
…
In the eastern part of the secret realm, suddenly a burst of green light illuminated almost the entire first layer.
When Zhou Tong and others arrived, the place was already crowded with people.
“We’ve arrived a step too late.”
Zhou Tong frowned.
Immediately after, ahead came a sharp and powerful aura.
Three Cycle Realm cultivators, nine Life-Death Realm cultivators, caused most present to change their expressions!
“We are the Central Continent Treasure-Seizing Group. This road is ours. If you want to pass, you must leave two parts of your luminous coins!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately became discontent.
“Everyone, be quiet!”
The forefront of the crowd, a burly man with a sinister expression and fierce aura made everyone feel wary.
“This is our rule. Who agrees? Who disagrees?”
“I disagree!”
Someone worked up the courage to stand and glare at them.
“Then die!”
As soon as the words left, that person was knocked unconscious by a single slap. This act sent a chill down everyone’s spines, and they instinctively stepped back.
“Is there anyone else who disagrees?”
The burly man laughed triumphantly, confident he had the upper hand.
“I disagree!”
Zhou Tong stepped forward.
“Then die!”
Without another word, the burly man attacked immediately!
