Chapter 170: This Is Our Blood-Boiling Combo!

Facing the black sun in the sky, everyone in the Jade Purity Sect stood on high alert.

An experienced Elder shouted: “That is a mass of the Breath of Annihilation, do not touch it!”

Someone cried out: “Then what do we do?”

Another Elder answered: “We attack together and cancel it with absolute force!”

As soon as he finished, a group of Elders struck at once, blasting wildly at the black sun.

At that moment, Little White appeared and spoke a single command: “Time Stop!”

Everything froze.

He roared: “Hah!” Then he dashed forward and kicked the Breath of Annihilation, forcing its path to bend.

He snapped his fingers and said: “Time starts to flow.”

The Elders stared, stunned: “How can this be?” They watched as the black mass curved around them and plunged downward.

Several voices screamed: “No!”

With a loud bang, the black sphere burst. Pitch-black flames sprayed out and once again covered the Jade Purity Sect.

People shouted in anger: “Who did this?” Seeing two figures in daoist robes watching from the horizon, they released their spiritual sense to probe.

Zhou Tong smiled and said: “This is our blood-boiling combo. Enjoy it.”

As expected, the defenders, unprepared and confused, triggered the floating Mind Bomb all by themselves. The backlash struck them hard.

Agonized cries rose: “Ah!” In a blink, more than a hundred Elders were hit and rolled on the ground in pain. Even the Supreme Elder could not escape, clutching his head as sharp pain tore through his mind. For a short time, he could not fight at all.

Zhou Tong pointed and said: “Great chance. Senior sister, tear open the ground of the Jade Purity Sect for me.”

The two of them dove. With the sect’s defenses almost at zero, they could do whatever they wished before the defenders recovered.

Sect Master Wu Zhan, eyes red with rage, hissed: “It is that little beast. He is back again.” He shut his eyes and played dead, because if he dared to look one more time, he feared the Mind Bomb would explode again. [If I look, I blow up.]

With a thunderous crack, the Power of the Primordial One fell, heavy and tyrannical, slicing the ground open with ease. Zhou Tong rushed straight inside.

Someone shouted: “That brat wants to seize the earth vein again!”

Hearing that, the pretending-to-be-dead Wu Zhan sprang up in fury: “Beast… stop him!”

A voice tried to reason: “Sect Master, it may not be necessary. Last time he stole the earth vein by using Array Arts. Now he is empty-handed, so how can he—”

Wu Zhan slapped the speaker flying and barked: “Are you brainless? Even now you still judge that brat with ordinary eyes? Is your head a chamber pot?”

His words had barely fallen when the proof arrived. Zhou Tong raised three talismans in his hand. Each one held Mu Rong Ya’s spiritual power, ready to show full strength.

He chanted: “Talisman Eighty-Seven: Dragon-Chasing Fortune.”

Light burst without end, three explosions rang out, and three dragon shadows rose from bare ground to coil around Zhou Tong.

Wu Zhan spat a mouthful of blood with a harsh grunt.

Zhou Tong called out: “We are leaving.” With the move complete, he scooped Zhang Chu Qiao up with one arm and fled far away.

A little later, the Breath of Annihilation died down and the crowd crawled out from the Mind Shock, staring blankly at the wreckage everywhere. Only the Sect Master still raged helplessly: “Useless. All of you are useless.”

A Supreme Elder stepped forward, his aura fierce with anger, and said: “Do not be upset, Sect Master. Since the enemy won by ambush, they will grow careless. If I take a shortcut and ambush the Joyous Union Sect, we can make them pay a heavy price.”

Humiliated again and again by a junior, he was a half-saint whose heart could not rest until he took revenge.

Wu Zhan took a long breath and said: “Approved. Be careful of their grand array. Rush in the instant their Array Arts are not active. Kill Mu Rong Ya and I will count it as success.”

The Supreme Elder’s eyes shone with cruel excitement. He sneered: “Do not worry. She carries inner-demon wounds. She cannot be my match.”

He laughed and boasted: “I am eighty percent sure I can do it. Prepare a victory feast, hahahaha.” With that, he burned his blood essence and shot into the sky like a falling star.

Moments later, a small attendant ran in holding a shattered token and said: “Sect Master, the Supreme Elder’s Life Token has broken.”

Seeing the broken Jade Token, Wu Zhan bled from seven orifices on the spot. [He died that fast?]

…

The visions over Desolate Mountain continued, stirring all the sects.

In the Tempered Flesh Sect, wild laughter shook the sky. The sect master pored over an ancient book again and again, eyes shining with madness until his hands trembled.

He shouted: “Hahaha, just as the ancestor said, the chance of Desolate Mountain is finally coming out. Heaven itself will prosper my Tempered Flesh Sect.”

Desolate Mountain would soon change, revealing two Heavenly Dao stone steles. One stele held the Refining Heavenly Ranking. Whoever obtained it and made it recognize a master would become a grandmaster of artifact refining, with a real chance to be the number one artifact refiner in the world.

But that was not the main prize. The other stele mattered even more. Rumor said it held the source of a heaven-defying physique. If refined, it could awaken the legendary Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Body. With that body, the power of nine dragons and nine elephants would fill the flesh. The body would break limit after limit, surpass the bounds set on humans. A fist could split mountains. A kick could crack the sky.

He growled: “If I get it, I will wipe out the Joyous Union Sect.”

He called out: “Dark Phoenix, Mad Dragon, Earth Tiger.”

Three daoist-robed figures appeared and bowed: “Greetings, Sect Master.”

He ordered: “You are the finest disciples of the last generation of our sect, all at the Life and Death Realm. Go to the secret ground of Desolate Mountain and bring back those two steles.”

They answered: “Yes.” Then the three left at once.

Besides the Tempered Flesh Sect, the other four great sects and the two top sects, Upper Clarity and Highest Clarity, also sent disciples to fight for a share.

…

In Enforcement City, Chief Enforcer Cold Night finished his closed-door training. After refining the pill gifted by Zhou Tong, his life force grew much stronger. A thin young man knelt before him. The youth’s skin was pale and pretty like a girl’s, but the cold edge he gave off was sharp enough to sting.

Cold Night spoke with warmth: “Duan Li, you have stayed in dead-closed seclusion for three years. It is time to go out and temper yourself.”

This was his final disciple. Though born with a mortal body, his insight and talent bordered on the unbelievable.

Duan Li bowed and said: “I came to report because I had the same idea.”

Cold Night warned him: “This journey will be dangerous and hard to predict. Do not grow careless. If you meet the brat Zhou Tong, greet him on my behalf. Do not fight him.”

Duan Li tapped his iron spear and asked with interest: “Is that guy so strong?”

Cold Night said: “His realm may be under yours, but in real combat it is hard to say.”

Duan Li laughed with bold confidence: “I do not believe that.” He took one step and released the aura of the Life and Death Fifth Layer.

On the Eastern Continent, monsters of talent kept appearing.

…

At the border of Desolate Mountain, Zhou Tong and one companion arrived first. Space here had collapsed, leaving only an entrance into a secret realm.

Zhou Tong said: “In a moment, we can go in.” Then he felt a chill touch his back.

With a sharp whoosh, an iron spear whistled past, aimed at the space between his eyes.

A young man stood above them, looking down, and said with a smirk: “Good reaction.”

Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes and said: “Duan Li.”

Duan Li brightened: “You know me? Even better. My master often mentions you. Today let us see who is stronger.”
