Chapter 84: A Small Celestial Masters Clan, Crushed with One Hand!

The black-robed youth froze for a second, then showed a scornful look. He had to marry the Empress today. Only then would they have enough money to win the Yin Yang Dao Physique at auction.

He lifted his chin and said with contempt: “I will give you one last chance. I will count to three, and you can roll off the stage yourself.”

Zhou Tong paused, and the little demoness’s voice sounded by his ear: “Little brat, do not let that trash go.”

Zhou Tong nodded slightly, looked at the black-robed youth, and spoke with calm eyes: “I will also give you a chance. Kneel and call me grandfather three times, and I can spare your life.”

The other man’s face twisted at once.

He snarled in a cold voice: “So you would rather choose the hard way. Then remember this, it is You Chong who will trample you!”

Hearing that name, Zhou Tong grew more certain of his guess: [He has the same family name as the little demoness. They might be related by blood.]

You Chong’s tone went flat as ice as he raised his hand: “I will end this in an instant.”

At once his mental power surged.

A low buzzing filled the air as the world’s spiritual energy trembled. More than a dozen glowing talismans floated up from his body and hung in the air.

People around them cried out in awe: “A Talisman Master!”

It was a strong and secretive profession. With a wave of the hand, they could stir the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with the power to move mountains and fill seas. In battle, no one dared look down on a Talisman Master. Fighting above their level was easy for them. If you judged a Talisman Master’s strength only by realm, you were sure to suffer for it.

You Chong pointed and barked a command: “Go!”

A level-five talisman exploded around Zhou Tong.

He called out its name as golden light swept out: “Locking Heaven Talisman!”

Yellow power poured forth and formed a cage, sealing Zhou Tong’s movements.

You Chong lifted his chin and declared: “The outcome is set. Beg for mercy now while you still can, or I will turn you to ash.”

Zhou Tong’s lips curled as he answered without care: “That all?”

The easy smile stabbed at You Chong’s pride. He bared his teeth and hissed: “Fine. You have thrown away your chance to live. Even if you kneel and cry later, do not dream of getting out in one piece.”

His gaze grew sharp. In his mind, those of the Celestial Masters Clan were born higher than others. Any random elder in their clan could read fate and peer into the future. As for drawing talismans and forming bonds, that skill was in their bones. They believed they had grasped the track of destiny itself, a people chosen by the gods, the most noble of all. Now a frog at the bottom of a well dared slight him, so thunder must fall.

He flicked his sleeve, and two level-six talismans streaked out and melted into the air.

His voice rang out, cold and sure: “Lightning Tribulation Talisman!”

Dark clouds rolled over the sky at once. Thunder boomed as spears of lightning poured down. It made hearts shake.

Spectators gasped one after another: “What a terrifying method. He can draw down Heavenly Tribulation. Each bolt could badly wound someone in the Heaven-Slashing Realm!”

Eyes widened as they counted the falling lights: “There are over a hundred bolts. If they all strike together, even someone at the Ninth Layer would need to avoid that edge.”

You Chong smiled cruelly and spread his arms: “It is over.”

In his view, Zhou Tong could not dodge and was doomed to be wiped out.

Zhou Tong sighed softly: [A fight between Talisman Masters is a fight of mental power. I still thought too highly of him. For someone like this, I do not even need to use a talisman. I can crush him with pure spirit alone.]

With a boom, an ocean-deep mental pressure surged from Zhou Tong and rolled forward like a rising tide. In an instant, it tore every talisman in its path to pieces.

You Chong’s eyes went wide as he tried and failed to move: “How is that possible?”

The pressure slammed into him.

He screamed in disbelief as blood spilled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. His organs shifted, his bones cracked one after another, and he hovered one step from death.

A hard thud sounded as You Chong flew backward and hit the ground. Zhou Tong had held back at the last moment.

The crowd stood stunned. A mighty Talisman Master had been defeated in a single exchange. This masked man, who was he?

The red-robed youth’s servant scooped up You Chong and spoke with a cold face: “You are impressive. We will remember this grudge.”

Zhou Tong’s eyes were full of scorn: [So this is the so-called Celestial Masters Clan. I gave them too much credit.] He thought coldly: [If someone of his level can be called a genius there, then with my spiritual power I can restrain them from top to bottom and keep them from stirring up any waves.]

He adjusted his mask and said in a flat, mechanical tone: “Next.”

No one answered for a long time.

He repeated, still calm: “Next.”

The host recovered first and cried out with excitement: “Congratulations, challenger. You have reached the grand final. Defeat the last opponent, and you may marry the Empress!”

Zhou Tong jolted and stared at his big senior sister in shock. At this point, one of them had to marry the Empress. Things had gone way too far.

They were both sweating. Even the Empress looked anxious.

The Empress whispered to her guard captain with a frown: “What should we do? If the guest elder surrenders on purpose, will all my planning be wasted?”

The guard captain answered with full confidence, as if everything sat in his palm: “Do not worry, Your Majesty. I have already arranged it. It will be foolproof.”
