Chapter 220: Heavenly Gu Clan: Can Your Spiritual Power Surpass Ours?
“You little thing who doesn’t know your own strength!”
The elder of the Heavenly Gu Clan revealed a cruel smile upon witnessing this scene.
“Daring to face me in a fistfight at such a young age, I’d like to know who gave you the courage!”
“When you arrive in the underworld, be sure to tell the ghost officials there that it was I, Zhong Jue, who sent you on your last journey!”
“Bang!!”
The two fists collided!
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Zhong Jue’s arm directly exploded.
That’s right, it burst into pieces effortlessly, leaving not even a scrap behind.
Not even the other party’s body felt the violent chain reaction, which can only indicate one fact: under this strike, Zhong Jue was as fragile as tofu!
“You little beast, how dare you cheat!”
Zhong Jue ignored the pain coursing through his body as the Gu worms inside him cried out, instantly restoring his severed limb.
“Hahaha… My Spring Breeze Endless Gu is truly formidable, let’s see what else you have up your sleeve!”
“Old man, you’ve got a piece of chives stuck in your teeth!”
Zhou Tong’s scornful voice came through, catching the other party off guard for a moment before igniting his anger.
“How dare you speak nonsense and tarnish my image!”
However, before he could finish speaking, a jolt coursed through his heart.
Zhou Tong’s second punch was already coming, aimed directly at his forehead!
Faced with this strike, Zhong Jue froze in place, as if the sky had collapsed, leaving him with a feeling of nowhere to escape.
“Am I… going to die?!”
“Buzz…”
In a moment of crisis, a strange sound erupted from within him, which Zhou Tong found incredibly familiar.
It was indeed the Life Revival Venom, capable of dodging true death; the chance of it activating successfully isn’t high, so he could only say this old dog was quite lucky!
With a flash of light, Zhong Jue seemed to teleport, retreating several meters back to avoid this deadly blow!
“Huh… Ah…”
He gasped for breath, looking at Zhou Tong as if he had seen a ghost.
“Impossible, this little beast couldn’t possibly be this strong even if he had been cultivating since birth; there must be a trick to this!”
He quickly pondered, his eyes shifting until he arrived at a possible conclusion.
“I see, I understand completely! You must have bought a Semi-Sage strike from the Strong Attack Mall, which is why you possess such power!”
Once he said this, others began to agree.
This seemed to be the most reasonable answer at the moment.
“A Semi-Sage strike costs at least thirty thousand Spirit Coins. You’ve already used it twice; you should be out of tricks by now, right?”
“You can try again,” Zhou Tong said, smiling calmly as he approached the other party.
“Wait!”
Zhong Jue’s face turned pale; having experienced what had just happened, he no longer dared to approach Zhou Tong.
“Look, there’s no deep enmity between us; there’s no need for us to fight to the death, right?”
“What do you want to say?”
Zhou Tong stopped, his gaze icy as he asked.
“It’s very simple; enemies are easy to resolve but not to create. Why don’t we shake hands and make peace, turning conflict into harmony?”
“But I killed your Elder Zhong Feng; can you really let that go?”
At this statement, the people of the Heavenly Gu Clan immediately erupted in fury.
They had always bullied others, and only others feared them; never had anyone dared to kill their elders!
This was a great enmity, one that could not coexist!
“Hehe… No problem!”
Zhong Jue gritted his teeth, already plotting in his mind, determined to crush Zhou Tong into ashes once this was over.
“Is that so? Then you are indeed magnanimous! So you surely won’t hold me accountable for using the Soul Search Technique on him!”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Jue looked as if struck by lightning!
“You… what do you know?”
“Everything that needs to be known, including the uses of the emerald Gu worm!”
As the words fell, Zhou Tong’s expression became calm, but a deeply oppressive atmosphere began to spread from within him.
“Hiss…”
The Senior Apprentice Sister widened her eyes and pulled Fire Heart back a few steps.
She knew her junior brother was genuinely angry this time.
“You little beast, you will die today!! Since you know our secret, you cannot be allowed to live.”
“You’re anxious; it seems those memories were indeed true!”
Endless killing intent surged from Zhou Tong’s body. The emerald Gu worm was formed from the Dharmakaya; specifically, it was crafted from the remnants of the Great Emperor of the Human Race after his death.
These beasts of the Heavenly Gu Clan had clearly received protection from the Human Race yet were a bunch of ungrateful scum!
Not only had they betrayed the Human Race, but they also dared to defile the remains of the Great Emperor; they deserved to be punished severely, with no chance of redemption!
“Humph! What if you know? We are going to use the Dharmakaya of your Great Emperor to seize your Imperial Weapon! What? You don’t agree?”
As his words fell, Zhong Jue extended his tongue, revealing the second emerald Gu worm resting on it.
“Luckily, my clan is already fully prepared. What if you took one of our Imperial Incarnation Gu? We can still seize the Imperial Weapon; as long as we kill you, everything will go smoothly!”
“With a bunch of ants like you?”
Zhou Tong’s eyes were filled with disdain.
“You’re just a brash young one, thinking your strength is unrivaled. Do you think you’re the only one with access to strong attack power?”
Zhong Jue laughed maniacally, clutching a dazzling orb of light, within which divine power surged—it was clearly a Semi-Sage strike.
“Die!”
Without saying another word, he threw the orb of light toward Zhou Tong.
“Run!”
Many people scattered; the power of a Semi-Sage was no joke. If caught, they could end up severely injured in the Cycle Realm.
“Space Stabilization Gu!”
Zhong Jue exhibited another method, shattering a brown Gu worm. An unpleasant juice then spread out, sealing the space around Zhou Tong and cutting off all his escape routes.
“Let’s see how you escape now!”
Under his excited gaze, Zhou Tong leaped and charged toward the orb of light!
“Seeking death!”
Zhong Jue’s expression turned cruel, as if he could see Zhou Tong being obliterated.
However, fate then presented him with a stunning scene.
Zhou Tong directly stomped on that Semi-Sage strike, exerting force to extinguish it, and the residual waves shattered the space, yet he himself remained unscathed!
This shock was terrifying; the members of the Heavenly Gu Clan were dumbfounded. Could it be that Zhou Tong still possessed strong attack power?
“Ah!!!”
The elder finally reacted, his face becoming frantic, as if he had seen a monster. Yet immediately after, a fierce look appeared on his face!
“No matter what tricks you have, you cannot escape death today!”
He took a deep breath and called to those behind him, “Activate the Five Spirits Gu; obliterate this boy for me!”
“Yes, sir!”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Heavenly Gu Clan became invigorated, as if the Five Spirits Gu were some terrifying weapon capable of exterminating all enemies!
“Little ghost, look into my eyes!”
Zhong Jue laughed maniacally. Suddenly, a crack appeared in his forehead, revealing a Gu worm emanating intense spiritual fluctuations.
“Servant God Gu of the Five Spirits Gu!”
Subsequently, that Gu worm spit out a mark, landing on Zhou Tong.
“You are completely finished! Once this mark is placed, as long as your spiritual power is lower than mine, you will become my slave!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled.
“Who gave you the courage to compete with me in spiritual power?”
“Hmph! I know you have great confidence in yourself, but no matter how strong your spiritual power is, can it surpass all of us working together?”
Zhong Jue shouted, hurling another Gu worm!
“Connecting Spirit Gu of the Five Spirits Gu, link the hearts of many to confront the enemy together!”
