Chapter 381: Demanding Standards of a Beast from Oneself
“Body Lacks Colorful Phoenix Wings, activate!”
With a swish, Zhou Tong tugged on the thread in his hand and flew out.
He was seen darting back and forth in the air, playing with a kite, and that kite was none other than the young master of the Profound Sky Hall!
“Ah ah ah!!”
Her cries were filled with tremors of pain; no one could understand the feelings behind them.
There is a kind of pain that just watching it makes you hurt. Ninth Offering covered his eyes, no longer daring to look.
“Stop! Please stop!”
At this moment, the only thing he could say was pleading for mercy.
“You old bastard, haven’t I given you a chance?”
Zhou Tong sneered, diving down and slamming Xuan Ge hard into the ground!
This fall was not trivial; Xuan Ge’s meridians were all locked, unable to use spiritual energy for protection.
Although she was an exceptionally talented genius and her physical strength had reached the Semi-Sage level, Zhou Tong was truly a Sage in physical form!
Throwing her like this was akin to taking a great rock to smash an egg, nearly smashing her soul out of her body.
“Let’s change positions and do it again!”
As he spoke, Zhou Tong prepared to take off again.
“No!”
Xuan Ge spat a mouthful of blood; she would rather Zhou Tong still be inside her than experience being used as a kite again.
This guy was a devil, with countless methods of torment that made her feel chills.
“Stop it!”
Seizing the moment, Ninth Offering rushed forward, grabbing the red thread with both hands, his eyes blood-red as he stared at Zhou Tong.
“Do you want to play kite too?”
“No, let her go; she doesn’t understand, she’s just a student!”
“Even if she’s a beast today, that won’t do!”
Zhou Tong secretly exerted strength, causing the other party’s face to change.
This red thread was nearly a law; the stronger the spellcaster, the stronger its intensity.
As a Semi-Sage, Ninth Offering still couldn’t break it; instead, his hands hurt from the strain.
“I beg you for another chance for her, please!”
“Then let me ask you…” Zhou Tong sneered.
“Do you admit that my ‘Body Lacks Colorful Phoenix Wings’ is unmatched in the world!”
The moment these words left his mouth, Ninth Offering wanted to curse; what kind of nonsense explanation was that?
Letting someone without wings fly was what he called ‘Body Lacks Colorful Phoenix Wings’!
“I admit, I admit!”
Forced by the situation, he could only nod quickly.
“Since that’s the case, such a beautiful scene shouldn’t only be appreciated once; I’ll perform it for you again!”
“No, no, no… I was wrong; actually, it’s still a bit imperfect.”
“Even better, I’ll perform ten more times, and you can help me correct it!”
Ninth Offering gasped, nearly fainting.
He was stubborn, and today he had hit two dead ends!
“Ah ah ah!!!”
Suddenly, a dazzling light radiated from Xuan Ge, and with a loud bang, a strange energy erupted, shattering the red thread wrapped around her.
At this moment, she was completely liberated and glared fiercely at Zhou Tong.
“Hehe… interesting. With the protection of a Peak Sage on you, you’ve escaped a calamity.”
Zhou Tong commented, his face showing no surprise, as if everything was within his expectations.
“I originally wanted to let you go, but since you broke free, let’s continue with the promised performance!”
With a clang, a slender soft sword appeared in Xuan Ge’s hand.
Not only that, but Ninth Offering also raised his steel spear again; now he could unleash his power without restraint.
“Why do you all never learn your lesson?”
Zhou Tong sighed.
“Less talk! If you hadn’t used such despicable means, we might have kept our promise, but since you did, don’t blame us for being rude!”
Ninth Offering said with a fierce expression.
“Truly wonderful!”
Zhou Tong clapped his hands and said, “It’s you who are double-faced and untrustworthy, yet also accuse me of using despicable methods!”
“So you demand standards of a Sage from others but use standards of a beast to restrict yourselves. Today truly opened my eyes!”
The moment these words were spoken, Ninth Offering’s old face flushed for an instant, though it was only for an instant.
“There’s nothing more to say, eat my spear first!”
As the words fell, the holy spear struck, directly shattering the void, aiming for Zhou Tong.
Without Zhou Tong showing any movement, his body floated back like a fallen leaf, evading this incredibly sharp attack.
“Die!”
Before he even landed, Xuan Ge took the lead, dancing her sword like a silver snake, cutting off all of his retreat paths.
However, in the next moment, like time reversing, Zhou Tong appeared behind her.
“You!!”
Xuan Ge was startled, thinking she would suffer a great loss, but seeing the opponent standing still, she quickly distanced herself.
“Whoo!”
She exhaled a breath; just now, she had felt unmatched pressure.
Zhou Tong’s cultivation was clearly much weaker than hers, almost by a whole major realm, yet why did he exert such terrifying pressure on her?
Then, Zhou Tong smiled and spoke.
“I already knew you could automatically break free, but I still let you do it. Do you know why?”
Xuan Ge’s pupils immediately contracted.
Before she could respond, Zhou Tong began to answer his own question.
He pointed to his forehead and said, “Because I am testing the accuracy of the Void Self Realm. Everything that just happened was exactly as I saw it!”
Upon hearing this, both people opposite felt a chill run down their spines.
If what Zhou Tong said was true, it was terrifying.
Zhou Tong had known all along they would go back on their word, yet he still allowed them to do so until they completely lost control and their means to restrain them!
This could only mean one thing.
Though they thought they had escaped his control, in Zhou Tong’s eyes, they always wore shackles around their necks; it was just a matter of changing the chain.
“You’re bluffing!”
Xuan Ge tightened her grip on the sword, psyching herself up.
“I’m already free; I can attack with all my strength! What do you have to punish me?”
“Oh? Are you very strong?”
Zhou Tong teased.
“Of course! I’m born to be supreme, my body has reached the Semi-Sage level, my spiritual power has entered the Sage level, and my cultivation has reached the Peak Sage level. Moreover, challenging those above my level is as easy for me as drinking water! What makes you think you can fight me!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but marvel.
He had to admit, this person indeed had the capital to be proud.
Since his reincarnation, he had seen too many prodigies.
In his eyes, someone with a Yin-Yang Body who had entered the Taiji realm, like Senior Apprentice Sister, could be considered second in talent, while this Xuan Ge could almost stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
The reason Xuan Ge was stronger now was due to her better background; she had undergone the baptism of secret methods while still in the womb, allowing her to be born a Semi-Sage.
As for the one who ranked first in talent, it might raise some eyebrows; that was none other than his beloved Master, Mu Ran Ya.
Aside from Zhou Tong, no one knew about the vast and unique talent hidden within her, only that it hadn’t been developed yet.
With this thought, Zhou Tong gently shook his head, suppressing the surging emotions.
“Now I will let you see why I can fight you!”
He locked his gaze on Xuan Ge and stepped forward, plunging into the river of time!
