Chapter 51: Capture Lian Han Xing Alive

A wave of allure rolled out from Lian Han Xing and wrapped straight toward Zhou Tong. Her strongest charm bloomed. Worldly red dust turned into a soft trap that could drown even iron wills and make them bow beneath her skirts.

Her beauty and power rivaled Mo Liu Su’s and were second only to Mu Rong Ya’s. Few ever withstood this move.

Sure enough, Zhou Tong’s face heated as if he were fighting down a rising hunger.

Lian Han Xing opened her arms and crooned: “Young man, when life is good, enjoy it. Take hold of the sweetness before you, or you will regret it later. Come into sister’s arms. Sister will treat you well, and you will taste the best this world offers.”

Zhou Tong’s expression tightened further, as if he were at his limit. Lian Han Xing’s eyes shone with pride; a bare flick of her charm could make Mu Rong Ya’s disciple lose control.

Zhou Tong’s face changed in a blink as he said with plain disgust: “Auntie, you look ugly.”

Mu Rong Ya burst into bright laughter and patted his back like a bell ringing: “Don’t be afraid. I am here. Hide behind me, and the ugly one cannot touch you.”

Their warm, teasing exchange struck Lian Han Xing like lightning. She sputtered: “Me… Auntie? You said I am ugly?” Her dao heart cracked. People had called her cruel and wanton, but no one had ever called her ugly. Her peerless face and supreme charm had bent countless so-called lords into silk around her fingers. That had been her pride. She could not bear anyone to tread on it.

She exploded with killing intent and snarled: “You brat, who are you calling auntie?”

Zhou Tong met her eyes without fear and said: “You. You ungrateful, vicious woman, and you still dare strut before my master. I will give you one chance: kneel and apologize to my master now, and I will spare you.”

His gaze held only mockery and contempt, which stabbed deeper than any blade. “My master is a thousand times more beautiful than you. After seeing her, your little poses are just self-humiliation.”

Lian Han Xing’s control snapped as she shouted: “I will kill you!” She struck at Zhou Tong in fury.

Zhou Tong did not dodge. His terrifying spirit power gathered into a heavy hammer that slammed straight into the center of her brow.

Lian Han Xing staggered back with a cry: “Ah, it hurts!” A knife of pain drilled through her mind. She could not even tell what he had done.

Zhou Tong murmured to himself as his eyes cooled: “Is that all?” [This is my first time using spirit power to attack. Judging by the effect, I could make someone at Mo Liu Su’s level go hazy. If my realm rises, I can shape my spirit power into even stronger strikes. Then Lian Han Xing would not retreat so easily.]

Mu Rong Ya’s voice turned glacial as her long hair flashed white: “I did not plan to tangle with you, but since you struck first, you will stay.”

Lian Han Xing tried to bluff a shield: “Don’t think I fear you. If we fight here, your three disciples will be caught in it.” She hoped to force Mu Rong Ya to hold back.

The little demoness moved first, her eyes blazing as she snapped: “Enough talk. Go die.” She stepped, and the Red Dust Sea rippled out, dragging everyone into her domain.

Lian Han Xing sniffed but kept her guard high: “Little girl, you are still very green.” Her face, however, had grown tight; she knew none of her disciples could handle this opponent.

Steel rang as Long Ling Yun drew her sword and swept in, sword force everywhere and hard to guard against. Lian Han Xing cursed between her teeth: “This is endless!” Under the pressure of Mu Rong Ya from the front and the two juniors from the sides, she was forced into a bitter fight.

Her thoughts raced as she hunted for a way out. [These two brats are too stubborn. If I want to escape, I must seize a hostage.] Her eyes locked on Zhou Tong. [It will be you.]

In one ruthless breath she unleashed the Jade Devil Body. Her aura surged up an entire tier. She smashed open a path with her body, ate the hits of all three, and shot straight for Zhou Tong. Though her guard art dulled the blows, she still took heavy damage, yet she did not care, because her hand clamped down on Zhou Tong’s shoulder.

She bared her teeth in a cold smile and said: “Brat, you are finally in my hand.”

Zhou Tong’s lips tilted as he answered without fear: “Then you had better hold tight. Do not let go.”

His hands closed, twining around her wrist. Before her widening eyes, his hair turned white.

Lian Han Xing’s heart pounded. [So young, yet he has reached the fourth layer of the Joyous Union Heavenly Art, the realm of the Jade Devil Body. What a terrifying talent.]

Scarlet lightning burst from Zhou Tong’s skin, snaking up her arm to wrap her whole body.

She gasped in real fear: “Joyous Union Lock! You actually cultivated the Joyous Union Lock!” She knew that if it bound her fully, she would lose her freedom forever.

“Let go,” she cried, voice shaking, and smashed at Zhou Tong with her free hand.

Zhou Tong smiled thinly and said: “No rush. Have another.” He drove his spirit power again into a heavier hammer and struck her brow once more. Lian Han Xing screamed as most of her strength went limp and useless.

Mu Rong Ya arrived in that same breath and placed a palm on Lian Han Xing’s back. The world winked out for Lian Han Xing; she sagged and collapsed onto the deck.

Zhou Tong let out a long breath of relief. [That was close. A trapped expert is still dangerous.]

Mu Rong Ya gave him a mischievous grin and tempted him: “Little one, do you want to bind her with your lock? If you do, your strength will surge again.”
