Chapter 227: Yao Xian
“This is your voluntary choice, so don’t blame me for being rude!”
Tang Qi struck directly.
“Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill!”
Despite only having a soul body left, Tang Qi, infused with Supreme Will, showcased extraordinary means, poking a finger directly into the center of Xuan Shuyu’s forehead.
“Ah, ah, ah… What are you doing? Stop, stop!”
Xuan Shuyu felt a wave of intense pain and soon realized that her Saint Body origin was being frantically taken away.
At this rate, she would wither away to death.
“You clearly promised, how could I possibly stop?”
Tang Qi smiled slyly, golden light surging around him, clearly in the process of reshaping his body.
“You liar, you deserve to die! You’ve been using me all along!”
“Hahaha… This really surprises me; I didn’t expect you to discover the truth just now, simply shockingly foolish.”
“Someone like you, I would disdain to have as a dog!”
“Ah, ah, ah… I will never coexist with you!”
Xuan Shuyu trembled all over, struggling in vain as she could not escape; her body rapidly aged, her hair turning gray, wrinkles crawling across her face, transforming her into an old woman!
“No… I am a Saint Body, destined to become a peak powerhouse; how could I fall to this state!”
She trembled as she looked at Zhou Tong, her only lifeline.
“Junior Brother, I was wrong before, now we have a common enemy, quickly act!”
Just as she finished speaking, Tang Qi’s Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill had already reached an extremely powerful level, draining Xuan Shuyu in just a few breaths!
“You are of no use anymore, get lost!”
In a brilliant golden light, Tang Qi reshaped his body, and it was the Saint Body.
“Time Suspension!”
At that moment, Zhou Tong decisively made his move, locking the flow of time and space.
He moved in front of Tang Qi and decisively exploded his forehead, heart, and dantian, then kicked him in the groin.
“Time resumes…”
Besides Xuan Shuyu, another scream joined in.
Tang Qi’s expression twisted; not only did he not die instantly, but he seemed more vigorous than ever.
“You can’t kill me; I am a perfect being!”
He clutched his groin and said with a face full of hatred, actually reversing his spiritual energy to heal his injuries.
This scene left Zhou Tong utterly amazed; even his dantian had been destroyed, yet the other party could still manage this?
“Didn’t expect it, did you? I moved my dantian to my backside; what can you do about it?”
Tang Qi mocked, but the next moment his expression drastically changed, his body covered in purple marks.
Not only that, but his aura also plummeted as he felt intense pain.
“Poison! I’ve been poisoned! How is this possible!”
“Be more certain; you are indeed poisoned!”
The space suddenly rippled, and the Mountain Ghost slowly walked out, looking at Zhou Tong mischievously like a sprite.
“You poisoned me!” Tang Qi shouted angrily!
“Of course, who told you to beat the dog without looking at its owner?”
The Mountain Ghost pointed at Xuan Shuyu and said to him, “Let me introduce, this is my dog. I placed Mountain Ghost Killing Poison inside her; it’s an indomitable poison…”
Once these words were spoken, Tang Qi’s pupils constricted; the other party had set a trap for him from the very beginning.
“Despicable creature, I want you dead!”
“Mountain Ghost Killing Poison, explode!”
The Mountain Ghost formed hand seals, causing the purple marks on Tang Qi to rapidly expand, intensely corroding his body!
This poison was terrifying; in just a few breaths, Tang Qi lost his physical form once again, and even his soul bore purple marks, indicating that the Mountain Ghost Killing Poison targeted more than just the body!
“Life Revival Venom!”
He acted without hesitation; to save his life, he immediately activated the ultimate escape method.
Zhou Tong did not stop him; with the help of Supreme Will, the probability of this activation reached a hundred percent; he was destined to escape this calamity.
As expected, the next moment, Tang Qi vanished from everyone’s sight, as if he had already left the secret realm.
“He has the Mountain Ghost Killing Poison; only the Mountain Ghost royal family can lift it.”
The Mountain Ghost laughed, her eyes filled with disdain: “What Supreme Will, it’s just a pitiful hybrid stacked together!”
“Mountain Ghost Girl is truly powerful!”
Senior Apprentice Sister couldn’t help but exclaim!
“I have seen the respected king, and I have seen the princess!”
The Mountain Ghost knelt on one knee, her expression pious and gentle.
“Mountain Ghost!”
Zhou Tong called softly.
“Listening to the king’s will!”
“You have served diligently all the way, beginning to end, as an unparalleled contributor to the Mountain Ghost Clan; I now grant you a name, bestowing upon you this identity!”
Upon hearing this, even the Mountain Ghost’s eyes filled with excitement.
This was a day she had waited for a long time.
“From today onwards, you shall be called Yao Xian, the Guard Leader of the royal family, overseeing all matters outside of the royal family!”
Zhou Tong spoke with conviction, and the next moment, a gentle radiance blossomed from the Mountain Ghost.
She shed the features of the Mountain Ghost, transforming into an extraordinarily beautiful woman!
However, she had no cultivated realm, appearing like a mass of law attuned to the spirit, somewhat similar to Fire Heart, yet her position surpassed Fire Heart’s!
Clearly, this was a transcendence; the law transformed from formless to formed, from ignorance to knowledge, an incomprehensible existence, far more reliable than the so-called Supreme Will.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Shuyu beside her turned extremely regretful.
Now she resembled a true old dog, only able to crawl on the ground and whimper.
“Junior Brother, save me!”
For her to say this, one could only imagine how thick her skin was.
“Disgusting!”
Yao Xian said disdainfully: “I command you, from now on, live out your remaining days in misery; you are forever forbidden to appear before the respected king!”
“No!!”
Xuan Shuyu’s face was filled with despair; it would be better to die directly than to be treated like this!
As soon as her words fell, the entire secret realm began to tremble violently, vast cracks appearing, with sunlight from the outside pouring in.
“This place is going to collapse!”
Fire Heart relaxed completely, greedily breathing in the air seeping in from the outside.
“It’s time to leave!”
Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes and with a wave of his hand shattered the altar, causing the mural to topple as well.
Suddenly, a seven-colored light radiated from the bottom of the altar, as if a star was flying out, landing in Zhou Tong’s hand.
It turned out to be a strange seed adorned in seven colors, immensely profound, and its purpose was unknown.
“Yao Xian, do you recognize this thing?”
Zhou Tong asked curiously.
“Um… this subordinate does not know…”
“Forget about this for now; let’s get out first!”
Senior Apprentice Sister urged, and soon the group rushed through the cracks!
The secret realm began to collapse; everything was in ruin, except that mural which remained impervious, revealing its full visage.
It turned out that this mural was divided into three parts, and at the bottom, there was a fearsome giant beast baring its massive mouth, ready to swallow all living beings of the myriad races.
That Supreme Will was merely one of its prey!
