Chapter 190: Zhou Tong: I Won’t Give You the Chance to Regret
Duan Li’s sharp gaze focused ahead, emanating an incredibly chilling killing intent.
He held an iron spear, and although his aura was no longer as prolonged, it still darkened the faces of the three individuals before him.
“This kid isn’t simple; it seems we’ll have to use some harsh methods against him.”
The speaker was named Zhong Ye, the leader among the three, with Zhong Mo as the second and Zhong Yang as the third.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Ye charged forward.
A jet-black Gu worm chirped languidly, parasitizing his arm, causing it to swell several times and pulsate with violent power.
“Vigorous Indestructible Gu!”
He threw a punch, which sounded like a mountain collapsing, as shadows of his fist enveloped Duan Li.
“Spear Momentum, Awakened Thunderstorm!”
Duan Li did not retreat, countering with killing intent. His spear lunged out, spilling blood and forcing his opponent back, but he endured the shock and felt his arm tremble.
“Haha, there’s a flaw!”
The other two had already surrounded him, and with a casual motion, hundreds of golden Gu worms descended upon him!
“Get lost!”
Duan Li’s blood surged, and his spear swept out like a dragon, attempting to wipe out the Gu worms in one strike.
But the result left him horrified; these Gu worms were incredibly resilient. Not only were they not shattered by his spear, but they also began to devour his weapon!
“You’re wasting your effort. These are the specially cultivated Gold-Eating Gu by my brothers. Indestructible and capable of shattering everything, just obediently become their fodder.”
In the blink of an eye, Duan Li’s spear was devoured completely, and the worms didn’t disperse; instead, they focused on his body!
“Damn it!”
Duan Li attacked left and right, but ultimately, he let his guard down and was breached by the Gu worms, leaving a gruesome wound on his arm.
Other Gu worms surged forward like flies drawn to blood, wanting to feast on him.
“This is bad!”
Duan Li’s face paled; he never expected to be forced into such a dire situation.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
“Life-Balance Dominion!”
A light imprint struck, causing all those Gu worms to explode. Not only that, but it also healed Duan Li’s injuries.
“It’s you!”
Seeing Zhou Tong land beside him, Duan Li couldn’t help but feel joy.
But soon, his expression changed.
“Where is that powerful woman?”
“She’s temporarily unavailable; I’m enough!”
Zhou Tong smiled, assessing the three people before him.
All of them were strong warriors at the Life-Death Seventh Layer; no wonder Duan Li was having such a tough fight.
Upon hearing Zhou Tong’s words, Duan Li couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“I know you’re powerful, but they’re from the Heavenly Gu Clan, and their methods are unpredictable. Otherwise, I could have wiped them out alone. I can still hold them off for a bit; you should go call for reinforcements!”
“Hmph! Another human race lackey has arrived. Don’t think you can leave once you’ve come!”
Zhong Yang sneered, sizing up Zhou Tong, then revealed a look of disdain.
Just a mere Life-Death Third Layer in their presence, he was like an ant!
“Kill them all, and use their blood to unlock our inheritance.”
Zhong Mo said impatiently, eager for action.
“Be careful; he seems to have means to destroy the worms!”
The most cautious among them, the leader, noticed Zhou Tong’s ability to eliminate the Gold-Eating Gu and became wary.
“I see.”
Zhou Tong discerned the situation, his expression growing colder.
The Heavenly Gu Clan once depended on the human race but later betrayed them, joining forces with all clans to attack the humans and becoming sworn enemies with the Mountain Ghost Clan.
Now, they were here to ambush the inheritors of the Mountain Ghost Clan and use their blood to strengthen themselves!
This was a fickle and extremely dangerous race.
“Sorry.”
Zhou Tong said, leaving the three opposite him momentarily stunned.
“Even if you apologize, we won’t let you go.”
Zhong Yang mocked, his eyes filled with sarcasm, thinking Zhou Tong was begging for mercy.
“You misunderstood.”
Zhou Tong said, “I generally don’t attack strangers directly. Even if they offend me, I usually give them a chance to live, but for you…”
At this point, his killing intent became incredibly terrifying.
“I won’t give you any chances; you’ll die here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong appeared before Zhong Yang, causing the latter’s pupils to tremble.
“You talk a lot; I hope your body is as tough as your mouth.”
In a flash, he threw a punch!
“Insignificant! Watch my Indestructible Gu, Iron Body!”
A metallic sheen enveloped Zhong Yang’s body as he took a stance, clearly intending to take the hit head-on.
“Boom!!”
The sound detonated, and the Heavenly Sword erupted, directly blasting open his chest and sending his organs flying!
“Madness!”
Zhou Tong sneered, clearly capable of dodging but choosing to take it head-on; this Heavenly Gu Clan member must have some issues.
“Third Brother!”
Zhong Mo shouted loudly; Zhou Tong’s speed was too swift for him to react in time.
“Die for me!”
Zhong Mo, red-eyed with rage, flew towards Zhou Tong, launching a blood-red Gu worm at him.
Seeing this, Zhong Ye felt reassured.
“Now it’s stable; it’s an Explosive Evil Gu. If my second brother is resorting to this, that human race lackey is doomed!”
He felt victory was assured; the Explosive Evil Gu was their trump card. If it exploded, it could even unleash the self-destructive power of a Life-Death Realm.
However, that was not the most terrifying part; the smoke and dust produced by the explosion concealed a terrifying malevolence, just slightly weaker than Chaos Malevolence. Even a Cycle Realm expert could suffer a terrible fate if they were unfortunate enough to be contaminated.
“Boom!!”
The Evil Gu exploded, and the filthy evil aura enveloped Zhou Tong.
“Haha… Let’s see if you dare to be arrogant now!”
Zhong Mo laughed loudly from the side.
At that moment, an arm reached out from the haze, tightly gripping his neck.
Then Zhou Tong dispelled the haze, standing before him unscathed.
“I’m truly amazed. Do you guys have to take turns? Can’t you all attack at once?”
With a crisp snap, Zhou Tong broke Zhong Mo’s neck as the latter’s face contorted in fear.
“Hiss… This can’t be a dream, right?”
Duan Li, watching from the side, couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
The opponent who put him in a tough spot had been taken out by Zhou Tong in the blink of an eye; it was simply too demoralizing!
He knew Zhou Tong was strong but never expected him to be this powerful. The memory of attempting to challenge Zhou Tong caused him to blush with embarrassment.
“This is truly so humiliating! Did this guy treat my challenge as a joke back then?”
Compared to him, Zhong Ye was in greater distress. He couldn’t accept the scene before him.
“It’s impossible! My second brother is invincible!”
“Don’t be anxious; it’s your turn next!”
Zhou Tong remained utterly cold, locking onto him.
“This is bad!”
Zhong Ye flinched, forced to admit that the opponent before him was a monster.
“Withdrawal is the best option!”
With that thought, the familiar sound of insects vibrated within him.
“This time, you won’t succeed!”
Light and shadows flickered as Zhou Tong stepped forward, piercing through Zhong Ye’s chest and extracting the Life Revival Venom before pulverizing it.
This move had already become ineffective.
“You…”
Zhong Ye fell in shock, turning into blood mist with his two brothers, merging into the Dragon Transformation Pool below.
“Eh? What is this…”
Zhou Tong’s gaze sharpened, discovering an emerald-colored Gu worm left behind at the spot where they had died.
Instinctively, he reached out to touch it.
Suddenly, the Gu worm came back to life, attempting to burrow into the palm of his hand!
