Chapter 285: I’m Not Good at Running
“Two fools!”
Zhong Ningxue turned over, quietly opened her eyes, and thus witnessed the entire process of the two kidnapping Zhou Tong.
She couldn’t help but want to laugh, but ultimately forced herself to hold it in.
It must be said that the Li family members carried a strong comedic element about them.
Of all the things they could steal, they went for a living King of Hell.
And on top of that, a living King of Hell who enjoyed tormenting others!
“Good luck to you…”
Zhong Ningxue lazily stretched and, after turning over, sweetly drifted back into her dreams.
…
“Hahaha… it really takes effort to get everything, those idiots Li Xin Rou and the others probably still don’t know that this guy has already been kidnapped by us!”
Li Da said triumphantly, bursting into laughter.
“Hmph! What if that woman is strong? She still lost a family member to us; if she wants to redeem her cousin, she’ll have to beg us on her knees!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sky suddenly split open, and a meteor fell, directly aiming at the two of them.
“Shit!!”
Li Da’s eyes widened as he cursed loudly.
With a bang!
The ground shattered, flames shot into the sky, illuminating the long night!
Once the smoke cleared, a massive pit several hundred feet deep remained, with the two Li family members crawling out covered in dust, while Zhou Tong continued to sleep soundly, untouched by dust.
“This guy must be hiding something.”
The two exchanged glances and finally noticed the clues.
“He must have some powerful defensive treasure; we hit the jackpot this time!”
As soon as the words came out, greedy light shone on the faces of the two brothers, and they got ready to search Zhou Tong’s body.
However, when their hands touched Zhou Tong again, their expressions suddenly changed.
“Big brother, I feel something’s off.”
Li Er gasped, feeling a powerful suction force erupting from Zhou Tong’s body, firmly holding his palm in place!
“I feel it too…”
Li Da found himself in the same predicament. Even using all his strength, he still couldn’t pull his hand free.
Yet, they didn’t realize that a small red electric arc surrounded Zhou Tong, like undetectable chains, binding them tightly.
Not only that, but they also felt that Zhou Tong was becoming increasingly heavy; what was once a mortal body now felt like a giant mountain, pressing them down.
“This won’t do; this is bad!”
Madness flickered in Li Da’s eyes as he spoke harshly, “It seems we have to tear this kid apart to get free!”
“Is that a good idea? He is that woman’s cousin!”
“So what? Does the other party dare to charge into the Li family to take revenge?”
“That makes sense; let’s do it immediately!”
Li Er made up his mind, unleashing his energy and charging madly at Zhou Tong!
However, at that moment, Li Da suddenly screamed.
“Stop, stop, stop… this guy is toxic!!”
A wisp of Breath of Annihilation surged from Zhou Tong’s body, entering their bodies through their spiritual energy.
Even a Semi-Sage couldn’t endure this power’s explosion within, instantly causing their seven orifices to bleed and their breathing to weaken.
Worse yet, they found they couldn’t cut off their own spiritual energy flow, helplessly watching it continue to flow into Zhou Tong’s body. He seemed like a bottomless pit, accepting everything and draining them dry!
“I say, brother, we didn’t just steal something ridiculously powerful, did we?”
Li Da asked, trembling, finally realizing the danger.
“Let’s kill him! I won’t believe this evil!”
The two gritted their teeth, lifting Zhou Tong high before slamming him hard into the ground!
“Boom!!”
The earth violently split apart, and before the two could check the situation, terrifying magma erupted, catching them unprepared!
“Ahhh… I’m going crazy! What kind of monster is this kid?!”
“Boom!”
Before his voice fell, another lightning bolt descended, striking them accurately.
“Cough, cough…”
The two, now covered in dirt, coughed up blood, and obediently became quiet, lowering their voices.
“Big brother, I want to go home…”
“Yes… home, the family must have a way to solve this!”
The two instantly felt a sense of urgency, but the journey felt like they were enduring tribulations — thirty steps would bring a lightning strike, fifty steps would unleash magma, and every hundred steps would see chaos descend!
After less than two miles, the two collapsed on the ground like dead dogs, gasping for breath.
“Quickly use the spatial token to teleport us back directly!” Li Er said, his voice teary.
“But that’s a family artifact; we can’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary…”
“Aren’t we in absolute necessity right now?!”
“You’re right!”
Li Da nodded grimly, gathering his spiritual energy to take out the token and smashing it!
In the next moment, a spatial passage opened before them. Without hesitation, they jumped right in.
At this point, Zhou Tong finally became interested; it seemed that this passage led to the Li family.
Amidst the brilliant light, Zhou Tong’s spiritual power resonated, already seeing the other end of the passage.
Just a glance, and he nearly froze.
“This is… this is…”
He saw that the Li family was built on a floating island, bathed in colorful rays and endless light, exuding an aura of peace.
This was clearly a Pure Land, causing the colorful seeds within him to react.
Indeed, when one is in need, help appears!
At the beginning, he had bet with the Earth’s Veins that he would plant the seeds in the Pure Land within a month.
But a good portion of the time had already passed, and he was still some distance from becoming a Semi-Sage, so it was necessary to consider alternative plans!
“Decided, it’s you!”
Zhou Tong was eager in his heart, just waiting to land smoothly.
However, just then, the spatial passage suddenly shook, as an invisible force approached from the front, blocking the three of them!
“How is this possible? We’ve been intercepted!”
“My God, the passage must have sensed that this kid is incredibly dangerous and wants to send us back the way we came!”
“Don’t!”
In Li Da’s desperate voice, the spatial flow surged forth again, forcing them back to their original position.
Zhou Tong was furious. This had serious consequences; the duck that was almost in his mouth had flown away!
Surrounding them, the air flowed with laws, causing both of them to change their expressions.
“Boss, I don’t want to die; think of a way!”
“Actually, there is one way.”
“Then hurry up and say it; stop keeping me in suspense!”
“Send this kid back to the Li family’s convoy…”
The moment those words were spoken, Li Er almost cried, but to save their lives, they could do nothing but comply.
…
As the moon set and the sun rose, Li Xin Rou and the others had just awakened when they faced a thunderclap.
“Not good, those two escaped and even stole my cousin!”
“It’s okay; they’ll be back soon.”
Once Zhong Ningxue finished speaking, the two dark figures were seen carrying Zhou Tong running back.
“Where did you two captives go?!”
Li Xin Rou sternly reprimanded.
“When we were bored last night, we wanted to go out for some exercise.”
“Then why did you take my cousin with you?”
“We were practicing weighted movement!”
But why do you look like this now?!
Li Xin Rou pressed for answers, her eyes filled with suspicion.
It’s simple, I’m not good at running!
