Chapter 414: The Demoness Takes Charge
“Could this kid be crazy?”
Everyone had the same thought in their hearts.
Standing on the Sacred Forbidden Weapon, looking as flashy as possible, it was no different from soaring on the edge of death.
“Unaware of his own mortality, if the Profound Sky Hall detonates the Sacred Forbidden Weapon early, he will be reduced to nothing but bones, even his soul scattered!”
Someone shook their head, puzzled by Zhou Tong’s foolish actions.
“Perhaps this is just what he wants; sacrificing his life to destroy a Sacred Forbidden Weapon—he must think he’s gained something!”
As this was said, many in the crowd began to agree with this viewpoint.
In their view, one person standing against a Sacred Forbidden Weapon was indeed a bargain.
“How naive!”
Seeing Zhou Tong’s actions, Jade Linglong couldn’t help but sneer.
“Even if he can take out one, what of the other four? They can still annihilate the Li Family!”
“But since you want to die, I’ll be magnanimous and fulfill your wish!”
Jade Linglong felt an immense sense of relief and commanded the people around her, “Detonate that Sacred Forbidden Weapon and send him away!”
“Understood!”
The Sage beside her held a jade talisman and crushed it without hesitation.
At the same time, Jade Linglong fixed her gaze on the Heavenly Dao Image, not wanting to miss the scene of Zhou Tong being reduced to ashes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Time quietly passed, yet nothing happened, leaving everyone puzzled.
“What’s going on? Is there a delay with the Heavenly Dao Image?”
“How could that be!”
People whispered to each other, and suddenly, they saw Zhou Tong raise his head, his gaze filled with deep mockery as he looked through the image.
“Look at that kid; he seems to know we’re watching him!”
Someone was the first to notice Zhou Tong’s abnormal behavior, shouting in surprise.
“This is ridiculous, could he be controlling the Sacred Forbidden Weapon!?”
“This… it can’t be! There shouldn’t be such a person in the world!”
But the next moment, the answer was revealed to the world!
“Art of Arms!”
Zhou Tong unleashed his Divine Power, and with this move, he could manipulate weapons across the world; controlling the Sacred Forbidden Weapon was not difficult.
“Follow my command!”
As soon as his voice fell, Zhou Tong kicked the Sacred Forbidden Weapon beneath him, forcibly changing its trajectory as it shot straight into the sky.
Not only that, he also unleashed a brilliant light from his palm, locking down another Sacred Forbidden Weapon nearby and controlling it to fly upward, directly pursuing the one that had just launched!
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the two off-course Sacred Forbidden Weapons collided head-on, then detonated simultaneously.
“Boom!!!”
A terrifying explosion occurred, showcasing the might of these divine weapons.
Even from hundreds of miles away, the dazzling light was still clearly visible; each Sacred Forbidden Weapon completely exploded, its power not inferior to Spirit Seal 96, and could be called world-destructive!
“This kid!”
Jade Linglong was astonished; she had observed Zhou Tong closely and felt his strength was ordinary, yet he accomplished something even she could not do.
This really was unfathomable!
“It can only mean this kid has some strange talent. If it comes to outright strength, he likely wouldn’t be a match for an ordinary Sage.”
She murmured to herself, having to admit that Mo Youqing’s evaluation of her was quite accurate.
This is a lunatic!
Clearly, those three assassination attempts almost cost her life, and earlier, the Grand Deacon had instructed her not to underestimate Zhou Tong, but she easily forgot, or rather, she simply didn’t want to admit it!
If this mindset were known to Xuan Ge, she would surely look down on her even more.
This woman once intentionally elevated Zhou Tong to suppress Xuan Ge, and now having suffered a loss from Zhou Tong, she wanted to find any means to belittle him!
One could only say that such a person was not only mentally ill but also had a split personality!
“Hmph, so what if you’ve blocked two? The remaining three can still destroy the Li Family!”
Jade Linglong retorted stubbornly, while under everyone’s gaze, the other Sacred Forbidden Weapons accelerated again, quickly leaving Zhou Tong behind; it seemed impossible to catch up now.
At this point, the fate of the Li Family appeared to be sealed.
However, within the scene, Zhou Tong remained calm and unhurried, pulling out a jade amulet and giving instructions to the other side.
“It’s up to you now!”
…
“Received!”
On the empty island of the Li Family, the Little Demoness smiled sweetly at the jade plate hanging around her neck, then turned serious as she looked at the people behind her.
The forces gathering at the Li Family had already matched that of an ordinary Sacred Ground.
There were six notable Sage-level strong individuals in plain sight, not to mention the mysterious and unfathomable Mountain Ghost Clan.
Coupled with various small and large forces, they had formed an undeniable power.
Even more frightening, despite the short time these forces had gathered, they possessed an incredible cohesion.
This was partly thanks to the Empress, their angelic investor, but more because everyone recognized Zhou Tong’s potential and character, willingly standing by him and eager to serve.
“Everyone, three troublesome things are flying this way; let’s work together to block them!”
The Little Demoness held up the Spirit Talisman, specifically Spirit Seal 92, to address the radiant crowd.
“Wait a moment… can I take control?”
The Empress eagerly proposed, immediately making the Little Demoness alert.
Everyone across the land was watching; whoever could lead everyone to defend against this attack would undoubtedly become the center of attention.
However, neither the Little Demoness nor Her Majesty was particularly concerned about this.
What mattered more to them was that whoever could block this strike might be compared to Zhou Tong, becoming a topic of discussion among all.
Sometimes, the power of public opinion and gossip is crucial!
“You’ve smashed your abacus beads right in my face!”
The Little Demoness gritted her teeth, refusing her outright without mercy.
“Hmph, isn’t it my duty as the Empress to help the Guest Senior protect our homeland? I’ve always been above board, and only someone as petty as you would hold prejudice against me!”
“I don’t buy that; I don’t fall for your tricks!”
The Little Demoness gave her a disdainful look, “As his fiancée, helping my fiancé fend off external threats is my duty; you’re still far from it!”
“I’m never playing with you again!”
The Empress’s defenses crumbled as she sulked, looking utterly pitiable.
“Tsk…”
The Little Demoness clicked her tongue in disdain, reluctantly saying, “If there’s another chance in the future, I’ll let you take a turn first; don’t throw a tantrum now.”
“I’ll hold you to that; next time for sure, no backing out!”
In an instant, Her Majesty was filled with spirit, clearly having put on an act just moments ago.
“Stop fooling around, get serious about the enemy!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a violent shockwave came from afar as three Sacred Forbidden Weapons entered the sight of everyone at the Li Family.
“Follow my command, activate the protective formation, and everyone lend me your strength!”
As the words fell, the Little Demoness threw the Spirit Talisman in her hand.
“Spirit Seal 92, the radiant one!”
