Chapter 328: This Time, It’s My Turn to Punish You!
“Ahhhhh!!!!”
“You dare… you dare kill them!!”
Zhong Ningxue’s voice resonated through heaven and earth, immediately followed by an ancient aura emanating from her, as if an ancient deity had descended, suffused with the flavor of the primal world.
“What… what is this?”
Even Zhong Man, who possessed Semi-Sage strength, was stunned at this moment, sensing real danger!
Above the Ninth Heaven, thunder crashed down, diving directly into Zhong Ningxue’s brow, charging into her spiritual sanctuary and illuminating more statues!
“Crack, crack…”
Accompanied by subtle cracking sounds, the God King Gu finally underwent a transformation.
Like an artifact buried for a thousand years suddenly restored and blooming with heavy, sedimentary colors!
Awakening, finally complete!
In an instant, the God King Gu radiated an extremely gentle light, enveloping Zhong Ningxue’s entire body.
This light was remarkably wondrous; it not only healed her injuries, reviving her to full strength, but also acted like a stabilizing divine needle, firmly anchoring her physical form, enabling her to withstand greater power!
Thus…
Zhong Ningxue took a deep breath, her pupils turning a vibrant green. When she looked towards the spiritual sanctuary, she saw that out of the seventy-two statues, fifty had been illuminated!
At this point, there was nothing more to say!
“Fifty Symbol God King Gu!!”
“Boom!!”
A torrent of energy burst forth from her, green waves like the sea rippling in the vast sky, sweeping through the universe!
At the same time, her long hair flew up, dyed a gradient of green in the void, transforming her entirely!
The God King Gu awakened!
Fifty times the normal battle power!
Now, she had stepped into the realm of Semi-Sage!
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but bow in worship.
They had witnessed a miracle.
How long does it take to go from a Semi-Sage Second Layer to Semi-Sage? Zhong Ningxue provided the most standard answer.
One incense stick’s worth of time!
“Damn it, just a bit more; I was so close to seizing the God King Gu! This damned woman, why does she have to awaken at this moment!”
Zhong Man gritted his teeth, having exhausted all his cards. Faced with the current Zhong Ningxue, the composure on his face had long vanished.
Even so, he did not choose to flee immediately.
As a fellow Semi-Sage, he had no reason to fear her; the outcome was still uncertain if they truly clashed!
“Zhong Man, you’ve completely angered me!”
Zhong Ningxue gritted her teeth, simultaneously gazing towards the direction of the Zhong Family, her eyes filled with sorrow.
This was the second time…
She once again failed to protect her own people. Despite gaining immense power, she still couldn’t reverse the regret; what use was this power to her!
However, at this moment, a reassuring voice suddenly rang out.
“Shatter, Reflections on Water and Flowers!”
With a crack!
The space shattered like a mirror exploding, dispersing the false sorrow, leaving behind renewed hope!
Looking again, she saw that there wasn’t a single person missing from the Zhong Family’s seating area; not only that, but there was one more person.
Zhou Tong had long since reached the Zhong Family Head’s side, having opened the Heaven-defying Eye, which represented that the malevolent Gu’s power had been dispelled; what they had just seen was merely an illusion!
“Master!!”
Zhong Ningxue immediately became teary-eyed, a surge of joy, admiration, gratitude, and countless emotions intertwining, causing Zhou Tong’s expression to subtly shift.
He felt his Semi-Sage shackles completely loosen, as if he was just one step away from breaking into the Semi-Sage realm!
For just a moment, he had gathered the purest and most righteous Power of Belief from his disciple!
“You lowly human, how dare you disturb my good fortune; I will annihilate you all into ashes!”
Blood vessels burst in Zhong Man’s eyes. Failing to even kill a few ants humiliated him; he had to uproot the threat!
“Die!”
He aimed his finger at the ground, ready to launch another attack.
However, he had forgotten that the Zhong Ningxue before him was no longer the weakling from before.
With a hum!
The void trembled slightly, and Zhong Ningxue immediately appeared beside him, gripping his hand tightly!
“Ah!! Such great strength!”
Zhong Man’s face changed dramatically, instinctively exclaiming, feeling as though his hand would be crushed, unable to break free in that instant!
“You damned trash of the Demonic Race, do you relish in the thrill of killing? Do you think of yourself as great!”
“Less nonsense! Let go of me!”
Zhong Man was thoroughly anxious, filled with humiliation, and directly burned his potential to break free from her grasp, creating distance between them.
Seeing Zhong Ningxue’s indifferent expression, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.
“What a big mouth you have! What qualifications do you have to lecture me? Didn’t your Heavenly Gu Clan kill many innocent people?”
“Then that’s why the Heavenly Gu Clan was destroyed!”
Zhong Ningxue parted her red lips, shaking Zhong Man to his core.
“Hmph… that’s right, it was indeed us Demonic Race that exterminated you, and it was done effortlessly!”
He shouted, trying to shake Zhong Ningxue’s resolve, but he only received a colder response.
“So… it’s now my turn to punish you!”
