Chapter 510: Moze’s Death Game
The aura of the Advanced Sage swept across the heavens and the earth, like a heavy hammer, crashing down on Fire Heart, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
She couldn’t win; it was absolutely impossible!
The confrontation between an Intermediate Sage and an Advanced Sage was akin to striking a stone with an egg; aside from death, there was no other way out.
“It seems you’ve come to understand your situation…” Moze said mockingly. “I quite like you, so I don’t wish to force you back to your original form unless absolutely necessary. Hence, I offer you a chance to live!”
He produced a chain that resembled a leash for a dog, emanating mysterious demonic energy.
“Put it on yourself and from now on, obediently be my dog, and I will let you survive.”
Upon hearing this, Fire Heart’s eyes instantly turned sharp, her teeth clenched as she prepared for a death struggle.
“You shameless creature! Don’t push your luck; being a dog for an adult is your honor, and if you miss this chance, you won’t get another!”
The Heavenly Fire Sage leered, completely immersed in the role of a lackey.
“Even if I die, I will never be like some beasts who know only to kneel and flatter before others, wagging their tails for pity!”
Fire Heart took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.
At that moment, a destructive aura began to circulate around her as she prepared for self-detonation.
“Are you not going to save her?”
The Earth’s Veins, observing from the shadows, suddenly said.
“It’s not yet time; there’s a bigger fish yet to surface,” Zhou Tong replied calmly, overseeing everything from the Void Self Realm.
Sure enough, as his words fell, the space behind Fire Heart suddenly split open, and a graceful figure stepped out. With a wave of her hand, a red light flickered and struck Fire Heart directly.
“Ah!!!”
Fire Heart screamed as if struck by lightning, clutching her head with both hands, the amassed power instantly dissipating, leaving her powerless to resist!
Seeing this person, Moze’s face flashed with wary surprise, and the experts of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground couldn’t bear it any longer, kneeling down once again.
Though this person appeared as a delicate beauty, her degree of danger far surpassed that of Moze.
Her name was Mo Lu, also a member of the demonic royal guard, and her status surpassed that of Moze. Specializing in spiritual power, she was said to be just one step away from Peak Sage.
Because of this, a casual strike from her could throw Fire Heart into chaos and unbearable pain, rendering her incapable of fighting back.
“What are you doing here?” Moze asked, frowning.
“If I didn’t come, you would be in big trouble!”
The figure swayed her waist elegantly as she descended next to Fire Heart.
“You think you can control me?!”
Enduring the pain in her head, Fire Heart attempted to resist, only to have her neck seized by Mo Lu.
“Don’t struggle; you won’t even have the chance to self-detonate in front of me.”
“I am sparing you because I see your value; the authority of fire should belong to the Demonic Race!”
Slowly tightening her grip, Mo Lu made Fire Heart feel a suffocating pressure.
“How are you dreaming with your eyes open?”
Suddenly, a teasing voice echoed, startling everyone present!
“Could there be another royal guard from the Demonic Race?”
The Heavenly Fire Sage looked around, his knees still on the ground, his expression devout and fearful.
But the two demonic guards weren’t as composed; their expressions turned grave.
Moze remained calm, while Mo Lu’s face slightly twitched.
She specialized in spiritual power, yet she had not detected the speaker’s presence from the beginning, nor could she now, which made her uneasy.
“This voice…”
Fire Heart perked up immediately; she would never forget the owner of this voice.
“Great Elder!!!”
“It is I!”
Suddenly, Zhou Tong appeared next to Mo Lu.
“The authority of fire has always been an inseparable part of the Human Race, so let go of her!”
He grabbed Mo Lu’s arm and gave a hard yank, pulling both her and her hand down forcefully!
In an instant, demonic blood flew, scattering everywhere, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
“You!!”
Mo Lu was taken aback, ignoring the searing pain on her body, and instantly distanced herself from Zhou Tong.
Though her physical strength wasn’t her strong suit, she was still an Advanced Sage, not just any random person could hurt her.
Zhou Tong’s sudden appearance made her feel a sense of inexplicable crisis.
“It’s you, it really is you!”
Fire Heart exclaimed joyfully, feeling immensely relieved to see him.
“Sorry I’m late.”
“Don’t say that, let’s escape quickly; these two are too powerful, we cannot face them!”
“Trying to escape? I think you’re dreaming in broad daylight!”
In an instant, Moze and Mo Lu surrounded them, cutting off their paths firmly.
“This is bad!”
Fire Heart felt a sinking sensation in her heart, grabbing Zhou Tong’s collar and whispering in his ear, “I will hold them back for you, just try to escape; the Sect Leader and the Second Elder are still waiting for you!”
“Hahaha…”
Mo Lu couldn’t help but laugh. “No one can conspire in front of me; I already know your plan. You might as well give up on escaping.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong also started to laugh.
“Of course, I won’t escape. That would mean all my efforts to seal this space were in vain, right?”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, both sides stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their ears.
Did this kid really plan to seal the space? Wasn’t that tying himself up in knots?
“Don’t be so surprised, okay? It’s not easy for me to finally catch you two big fish. If I don’t tighten the net, wouldn’t letting you escape be the end of me?”
A moment of silence fell over the crowd; even Fire Heart’s eyes widened.
This kid couldn’t possibly be insane!
Did he know what enemies he was facing? Those were two Advanced Sages, able to crush most Sacred Grounds when united!
“You damned brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly!!!”
Moze was furious; a mere ant dared to provoke them—this was utterly unforgivable.
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed an astonishing aura, charging directly at Zhou Tong.
This powerful aura was heavy and vast, filled with violence and murderous intent, unbearable even for ordinary Sages, capable of crushing them instantly.
However, Zhou Tong remained calm, standing still as he broke the oppressive aura, preventing it from approaching within ten feet of him.
The sight stunned the opponents momentarily.
“It seems there’s more to you than meets the eye; no wonder you dare to be so arrogant.”
Moze narrowed his eyes, but despite his efforts, he couldn’t see through Zhou Tong’s cultivation, so he became cautious.
“Mo Lu, use your demonic eyes to see his strength. I detest those who hide their power!”
“On it!”
In front of everyone, Mo Lu took out an eyeball and crushed it in the air, releasing tiny dots of light that enveloped Zhou Tong.
After a moment, her eyeball regenerated and she obtained the desired information.
“He’s a Quasi-Sage!”
At this revelation, Moze was first stunned, but then burst into mocking laughter!
“You scared me for a second; I thought a tough guy had come, but it turns out to be just a pretender. You don’t need to intervene; just watch me crush him!”
“Quasi-Sage!”
Fire Heart’s eyes widened; upon hearing this level, she felt relief wash over her.
When they separated back then, Zhou Tong had faced a Sage even before he became a Semi-Sage. Now as a Quasi-Sage, his cultivation must have improved exponentially; surely he’d be able to escape from these two!
“Don’t be overly confident!”
Seeing Moze so self-assured, Mo Lu couldn’t help but warn cautiously: “I can only detect his cultivation level; if he specializes in physical strength, I wouldn’t dare underestimate his capabilities!”
Upon hearing this, Moze paused his actions and asked, “Could he possibly be a powerful spiritual practitioner?”
“Impossible!”
Mo Lu confidently denied, “My spiritual power is unsurpassed; if he specialized in it, he would definitely not escape my detection!”
“Then I can rest easy!”
With a loud boom, Moze unleashed an even more ferocious aura, brandishing a huge spear, aiming at Zhou Tong from a distance.
“Kid, even if you practice in body cultivation, in front of me, you are just a little child. You are about to become my toy, and I will lead you to destruction in extreme misery and despair!”
“Wait, Moze, are you really going to use that?”
Mo Lu looked shocked, then regarded Zhou Tong with pity.
“Indeed, I want to play a death game of mutual attack with him, where only the victor can survive!”
