Chapter 503: Spare the Sparrow Under the Blade!
The branches that stretched out resembled divine weapons, moving with incredible speed and unbreakable strength.
In the blink of an eye, they enveloped Yun Xiao, sealing off all escape routes for the Peacock, completely wrapping it within!
Immediately, Zhou Tong and the Snow Woman heard a piercing scream, and a smell of blood began to permeate the air!
“What…”
The Snow Woman’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing and hearing.
That terrifying Peacock, which could rival a Ninth Layer Sage after burning its Phoenix Origin, was actually grievously wounded by these branches!
However, it wasn’t over yet. The tree limbs emitted an eerie gray light, filled with an inexplicable power that was directly injected into the Peacock’s body.
“Boom! Boom!”
In an instant, whether from pain or for other reasons, the Peacock began to struggle violently, its wings flapping like clouds trying to touch the heavens. Even space itself was torn apart, but it still couldn’t break free from the piercing of the branches.
As time passed, its body grew smaller, from a thousand feet to a hundred, then to ten, and finally reduced to just two or three feet, completely losing its terrifying strength!
Then, under the shocked gaze of the Snow Woman, the Peacock was dragged into the Little Thousand Pure Land.
In fact, not just her, even Zhou Tong couldn’t help but feel astonished.
He never expected that peculiar tree to be so powerful, effortlessly subduing the infamous fierce beast with just a display of strength.
“What is that thing?”
The Snow Woman questioned Zhou Tong while grasping his neck.
“I don’t know!”
“You dare to play dumb? What are those branches? Why are they in your Pure Land? Hurry up and explain!”
“Get lost!”
Zhou Tong said bluntly, shaking off the Snow Woman’s hold.
“You’re not my wife, why should I explain anything to you? If you really want to see it, just come into my Pure Land!”
As soon as he said that, the Snow Woman immediately fell silent.
In there, Zhou Tong was the absolute master. If she entered, it would be as if calling on heaven and being answered by nothing, calling on earth to no effect.
“This matter isn’t over. We’ll meet again. You better watch your child; that’s my future disciple. If anything happens, I’ll definitely not spare you!”
Once the words left his mouth, the other party lifted the descending state, while Zhou Tong stepped forward and vanished from the spot.
Suddenly, the sky cleared, the previous barrier of spiritual power disappeared, leaving nothing behind, leaving the onlookers below dumbfounded.
“Where’s the Peacock? Such a big Peacock, where did it go? It couldn’t have just been an illusion, right?”
“Are you crazy? It was clearly captured!”
“You’re the crazy one! It’s easy to say, but who can subdue that thing in such a short time?”
Just as these words fell, several powerful presences suddenly descended!
All of these people were Advanced Sages, and even the presence of Seventh Layer Sages was rare. They had all been stirred by the earlier fight.
Some even left at the first moment, tearing through space to get here, but they hadn’t seen a single hair of it.
“Who was it that did this?”
Doubts arose simultaneously in the hearts of the Advanced Sages, with some still unconvinced, sitting down to calculate, trying to uncover the truth, only to see a hazy mist!
…
In the Little Thousand Pure Land, Lai Fu was so excited he was almost going mad.
Under Zhou Tong’s astonished gaze, he eagerly began to train the Peacock.
In this Pure Land, there was a clear division of hierarchy.
Zhou Tong was, of course, the master; his orders were the laws, the Heavenly Dao—no one could defy them.
Next in command was the Little Demoness, as she had assisted in establishing this Pure Land. Besides Zhou Tong, her word was law.
Finally, there was the peculiar tree, which was born in this Pure Land and had already bound itself to its laws. If both Zhou Tong and the Little Demoness were absent, it was the top authority here.
Thus, with the combination of Pure Land authority and absolute strength, Lai Fu could treat the Peacock as if it were a chick.
In fact, that was exactly what he did!
At first, the Peacock wasn’t obedient, attempting to fight back and transforming back into a thousand-foot form, but the peculiar tree simply uprooted a mountain and threw it at the Peacock as if tossing a stone, causing it to spit blood.
However, it didn’t stop there. The peculiar tree even fashioned its branches into a long whip, mercilessly striking the Peacock.
This strike was not a joke; the whip contained the power of creation and destruction, mixing myriad forces and encompassing everything, as if it was a heavy universe, crushing everything in its path!
With just one whip, the Peacock was stunned, instantly losing its ability to resist, falling from the sky and landing weakly on the ground.
But it still wasn’t over. Lai Fu seemed to feel the mood and activated a certain switch, specifically enjoying cruelty and torture, as the whip sparked in the air, almost stripping the Peacock of its feathers!
“Too brutal!”
Suddenly, Zhou Tong heard the voice of Earth’s Veins beside him; it was staring in awe at the scene.
“What are you doing here? Who let you in?”
Zhou Tong crossed his arms, inspecting the other with a scrutinizing look. Just a moment ago, he had used his spiritual power to search around the Pure Land, easily discovering the imprint left by Earth’s Veins. Through this, he could come to this Pure Land at any time.
“I came over because I wanted to monitor the peculiar tree’s every move.”
The other quickly explained, stopping Zhou Tong from erasing the imprint.
“Did you find anything out?”
“No!”
“Tsk tsk…”
Zhou Tong showed a look of disdain.
“Haven’t you lived for an infinitely long time? How do you not know even this? You’re really useless!”
“Young man, don’t be so harsh. Try to please me a little; maybe you’ll learn a lot from me.”
“Like what?”
“For example, the hundred methods of cooking divine beasts…”
“This… hss…”
Zhou Tong immediately abandoned the idea of kicking the other out and looked at the suffering Peacock with longing.
The last time, there was so little Golden-Winged Roc meat that he barely tasted it before it was gone.
This time, he had to make sure to leave a big wing for his Master and Shi Jie!
“Lai Fu!”
“Woof!”
“Heat the oil in the pan; slaughter this flat-feathered creature!”
Woof! Woof!
In the next moment, Lai Fu’s branches morphed again, revealing edges and blades, transforming into the form of a butcher’s knife.
With this one strike, it would directly dismember the Peacock!
“Wait, spare my life!”
Suddenly, the Peacock spoke, and it was even in a beautiful female voice, sending shivers down Zhou Tong’s spine.
“Ugh, how disgusting; it even spoke human words. How can I eat it now?”
“Relax, brother; at least it hasn’t turned human yet. After we kill it, who will remember it could talk?”
Earth’s Veins was impatient, waving its hand to reveal a large array of bottles and jars.
“What is this?”
“Seasonings! And they are all top-grade. I can conjure as much as I want.”
Zhou Tong nodded; this was indeed true. The other controlled the infinite vastness of the earth—what couldn’t it have?
“Since that’s the case, then continue!”
Receiving the order, Lai Fu prepared to send the Peacock to reincarnation. Just as he raised the knife high, the Peacock’s fear reached its peak.
“Coo! Coo!!!”
Driven by an extreme desire to live, it emitted a sound similar to a hen, followed by a colorful egg rolling out from beneath it, leaving Zhou Tong momentarily stunned.
“Wait, spare the Sparrow under the blade!”
