Chapter 297: Who Put the Lifespan in My Treasure Chest?
The Three-pronged Double-edged Saber was unstoppable, easily piercing through Gao Yiyi’s body!
“You… why?”
She struggled to turn her head, her eyes filled with deep unwillingness.
Just one more step, she was so close to successfully activating the restrictions in the hall and becoming the sole ruler here!
Just one more step, and she could secure the position of acting King of Hell and eventually soar to the Great Dao.
But why, why did fate make her fall here? Why did she have hope for success yet couldn’t move an inch!
How cruel this destiny was!
“You can’t really think I would conspire with a tiger and allow someone like you to continue living, can you?”
“When you first chose betrayal, I had already decided your ending!”
Zhou Tong said coldly, lifting her up with ease!
“I curse you…”
Gao Yiyi’s eyes were filled with resentment, staring fiercely at Zhou Tong.
“Art of Arms!”
Zhou Tong remained unfazed, unleashing his deadly strike.
“Ah ah ah…”
The opposing party felt an immense heat within her body, as if her soul was about to be burned to ashes; this torment was comparable to all the tortures in the world, making her wish for death!
Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, Gao Yiyi’s seven orifices spewed blood, ultimately exploding and leaving not a trace of her soul!
Thus, one of the three giants of Hell met a hasty demise, a scene that sent shivers down one’s spine.
“Capture him!!”
The expressions on Nether Yin Master and Netherworld Master changed dramatically. They weren’t looking for revenge for Gao Yiyi; they were simply horrified at the emergence of a being capable of killing them, leaving them restless and sleepless!
With a single command, countless Yin Soldiers surged in, surrounding Zhou Tong completely.
“Insignificant people, get lost! I only want these two. If you get involved, it’s your own responsibility for life or death!”
Zhou Tong stood with his saber held horizontally, exuding killing intent!
“Arrogant!”
Someone among the Yin Soldiers shouted, and in an instant, the army charged forward, attacking Zhou Tong together!
“Stubborn and ignorant!”
In the next moment, the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber flew into the air, blade facing down, as if to penetrate the Nine Oblivions!
“Art of Arms, Destroyer of Heaven and Earth, Rain of Weapons!”
The divine weapons split into two, then four, instantly evolving into thousands, shimmering with a ghostly chill in the void, bright as a galaxy, making countless people tremble!
“Kill!”
The divine weapons descended, executing indiscriminate strikes, reducing the Yin Soldiers to ashes, swiftly clearing the area!
“Next, it’s your turn!”
Zhou Tong gripped the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber again, sweeping it forward, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy!
He saw the two individuals on the opposite side collapse under the blow, blood spewing as they crashed against the wall, then heavily hitting the ground!
Before they could steady themselves, the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber was already poised at their necks, and with a light push, their heads would part from their bodies.
“You… who exactly are you? Why are you attacking us?!”
Nether Yin Master stuttered, trembling. He had realized the reality; if they didn’t summon troops from the main Netherworld, this terrifying guy in front of them could flatten this place by himself!
“Return the lifespans you obtained through corruption and ensure no further offenses, and I’ll act as if I never came!”
Zhou Tong stated plainly and directly!
Upon hearing this, the two’s pupils trembled as if they had uncovered a significant secret, their faces turning pale.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying… As the young talents of the underworld, we have always been expected to follow the Heavenly Dao, how could we do such a thing!”
Seeing this situation, Zhou Tong took a deep breath, the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber humming ominously, as if ready to drink blood at any moment!
“We really did nothing! If you wish to accuse us, you must provide evidence. Otherwise, you are slaughtering the innocent, and the sins will be inescapable!”
“Good, you Nether Yin Master…”
Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes, ready to unleash his wrath when suddenly a weak voice interrupted from the side.
“Big Brother, I can provide evidence.”
The speaker was the petite girl, raising her small hand, displaying a look of determination as if she was ready to face death.
“Zhe Mei, do you know what you’re doing?!”
Netherworld Master scolded nervously, for they truly feared now because Zhe Mei knew about all their dealings!
“I know exactly what I’m doing! I don’t want to be part of your corruption anymore, I’ve had enough of your dirty faces!”
Zhe Mei finally made up her mind and turned to Zhou Tong with a determined expression.
“Big Brother, the lifespans taken over the past thirty years that haven’t been used are all in Netherworld Master’s ring!”
“You’re talking nonsense!!”
Netherworld Master exclaimed in horror, losing his composure!
“Swish!”
In an instant, Zhou Tong’s saber light flashed, chopping off his finger, and the spatial ring fell into Zhou Tong’s hands.
“Whether you’re innocent or not, once I investigate, the truth will come to light.”
With a crunch!
Zhou Tong crushed the spatial ring, and a massive treasure chest suddenly appeared, covered in imposing restrictions, as impregnable as a fortress.
“Open it!” Zhou Tong ordered coldly.
“This… this treasure chest was a fluke I obtained; I can’t open it now!”
The other party’s gaze flickered, evading the question.
“Then split it open!”
Without another word, Zhou Tong raised his weapon, ready to shatter everything!
“Wait… I can try to crack the restrictions.”
Suddenly, Nether Yin Master stepped forward and exchanged a glance with Netherworld Master, receiving approval from the latter.
At that moment, he vowed in his heart, preparing to detonate the chest while disabling the restraints, erasing all evidence cleanly!
Though this would result in a heavy loss, if the blue mountains remained, he wouldn’t fear the lack of firewood.
As long as they were given enough time, they could still seize a massive amount of lifespans.
“What? You can break the restrictions?”
Zhou Tong scrutinized Nether Yin Master with keen eyes, making the latter feel like there were thorns in his back.
“Yes, my mind works quite well!”
“I can vouch for him; he’s very smart… his brain is quite useful; cracking the restrictions is a piece of cake!”
“Good, I’ll borrow your brain!”
Zhou Tong revealed a sinister smile and pressed Nether Yin Master’s head down, brutally smashing it against the treasure chest!
At the same time, terrifying spiritual power radiated from his brow, easily disabling the restrictions!
“Ah ah ah…”
In the wake of this heavy blow, Nether Yin Master couldn’t help but scream, but once the treasure chest opened, he immediately forgot the pain, cold sweat streaming down.
What lay inside was dazzling, filled with a breath of life, as if sourced from the sunlit world, gathered lifespans!
“At this moment, they had no way to counter these accusations.”
“This… What’s going on? This must be a trick!”
Netherworld Master said in a panic, “Who put the lifespans in my treasure chest?!”
“You admit this is your treasure chest!”
Zhou Tong coldly reprimanded, his voice intertwined with spiritual waves, instantly shattering the opponent’s will.
Netherworld Master trembled and knelt down, unable to stop himself from bursting into tears.
“Master, my family has been little ghosts in Hell for generations, I’m truly frightened of poverty; all these lifespans are here, and I didn’t dare use a single one!”
