Chapter 190: Zhou Tong: I Won’t Give You the Chance to Regret

Duan Li stared ahead with knife sharp eyes, his whole body giving off a freezing killing intent. He held an iron spear. His breath was no longer steady, yet it still made the three men in front of him look grim.

The one who spoke was Zhong Ye, the leader of the three, with Zhong Mo as second and Zhong Yang as the third: “This brat is not simple. Looks like we need to use something ruthless.”

As soon as he finished, Zhong Ye charged. A pitch black Gu insect chirped and burrowed into his arm. In an instant his arm swelled several times, surging with wild power. He shouted: “Diamond Power Gu!”

He punched out like a collapsing mountain. Fist shadows rumbled and covered Duan Li.

Duan Li did not back off. He met killing with killing and thrust his spear, blood spraying as he forced the enemy back: “Spear Force, Awakening Chill!” But the shock still hit him hard, and his arm trembled.

The other two had already flanked him, and one laughed: “Ha ha, a flaw!”

With a casual wave, they sent hundreds of golden Gu insects swarming over.

Duan Li roared: “Get lost!” His spear swept like a dragon to smash them all in one blow.

The result shocked him. These insects were unbelievably tough. Not only did they not burst under the spear, they began chewing on his weapon.

One of the brothers sneered: “Useless. These are our carefully bred Gold Eating Gu. They are unbreakable and can gnaw through anything. Be good and become their food.”

In the blink of an eye Duan Li’s spear was eaten away. The insects did not disperse. They turned on his body.

“Damn it!” Duan Li blocked left and right, but at last a gap appeared. A Gu broke through and tore a jagged gash on his arm. The other Gu swarmed like flies that had smelled blood, ready to tear him apart. [Not good!]

His face went pale. He had not expected to be pushed into such a dangerous spot.

A voice came from the side: “Balance of Life and Death!”

A seal of light slammed in, blasting all the Gu to pieces and, at the same time, mending Duan Li’s wound.

Duan Li saw Zhou Tong land beside him and could not help feeling glad: “It’s you!” Then his face changed: “Where is that strong woman?”

Zhou Tong smiled and looked over the three enemies: “She can’t break away for now. I’m enough.”

All three were strong experts at the Seventh Layer of the Life and Death Realm. No wonder Duan Li had fallen into a bitter fight.

Duan Li gave a wry smile: “I know you’re strong, but they’re from the Heaven Gu Clan. Their tricks change without warning. Otherwise I could have swept them alone. I can still hold them a while. Go get help!”

Zhong Yang sneered as he sized Zhou Tong up: “Another running dog of the humans. Since you came, don’t think about leaving.” Seeing Zhou Tong was only at the Third Layer of the Life and Death Realm, he looked at him with open scorn.

Zhong Mo barked, already eager: “Kill them both and use their blood to open our inheritance.”

Zhong Ye, the most cautious, still warned his brothers after watching Zhou Tong destroy the Gold Eating Gu: “Be careful. He seems to have a way to kill insects.”

Zhou Tong’s eyes cooled. He had seen through it. The Heaven Gu Clan once clung to the human race, then betrayed them, joined the Myriad Races to besiege humans, and became mortal enemies with the Mountain Ghost Clan. Now they were here to ambush the Mountain Ghost Clan’s heir and use that blood to strengthen themselves. They were a fickle and dangerous race.

Zhou Tong said, very calmly: “Sorry.”

The three blinked in surprise.

Zhong Yang curled his lip: “Even if you apologize, we won’t let you go.”

Zhou Tong shook his head: “You misunderstood. With strangers, I don’t usually kill right away. Even if they offend me, I give them one chance to live. But for you…” His killing intent surged until it was terrifying: “I won’t give you any chance. Die here.”

He flashed to Zhong Yang. The man’s pupils shrank hard.

Zhou Tong mocked him: “You sure can talk. I hope your body is as tough as your mouth,” and he punched.

Zhong Yang planted his feet as a metallic sheen wrapped his body: “Not a big deal. Watch my Diamond Body Gu, iron body form.”

A thunderous boom exploded. Heavenly Sword power erupted and blew Zhong Yang’s chest apart. His organs flew out.

Zhou Tong looked down on him: “Are you dense? You could have dodged but chose to take it. The Heaven Gu Clan must have something wrong with their brains.”

“Third Brother!” Zhong Mo roared. Zhou Tong was so fast he had no time to react. Eyes red, he leapt and hurled a blood red Gu at Zhou Tong: “Die!”

Seeing this, Zhong Ye finally felt steady at heart. He thought victory was certain. “It’s settled. That’s the Exploding Evil Gu. Second Brother even used that. The human dog is dead for sure.” The Exploding Evil Gu was their trump card. When it exploded, it could mimic the power of a Life and Death expert self destructing. Worse, the dust after the blast hid savage baleful energy, second only to Chaotic Baleful Qi. Even a Reincarnation Realm expert might stumble and die if tainted by it.

The Evil Gu exploded. Filthy, evil mist covered Zhou Tong.

Zhong Mo laughed wildly: “Ha ha… let’s see if you still dare to act crazy!”

A hand reached out from the haze and clamped his neck. Zhou Tong swept the mist away and stood there unharmed.

He frowned: “Seriously? Do you have to come one by one? Ever think of attacking together?” With a sharp crack, he snapped Zhong Mo’s neck while terror filled the man’s eyes.

Duan Li rubbed his eyes: “Hiss… am I dreaming?” The opponents who had forced him into a bitter fight were killed in an instant. It was crushing. He had known Zhou Tong was strong, but not this strong. When he remembered his past attempt to challenge Zhou Tong, his face burned. [What a shame. Back then he must have taken my challenge as a joke.]

Zhong Ye’s pain was far worse. He could not accept what he saw: “Impossible. My second brother is invincible!”

“Don’t worry. You’re next,” Zhou Tong said, cold and flat, locking onto him.

Zhong Ye shrank back at once. He had to admit this opponent was a monster. He decided to run. In his body, an insect’s cry rose, one Zhou Tong knew too well.

“Not this time,” Zhou Tong said. Light flashed. He stepped out, pierced Zhong Ye’s chest, pulled out a Death Return Gu, and crushed it to powder. That move would not work again.

“You…” Zhong Ye gasped and fell. He and his two brothers turned into blood mist and flowed into the Dragon Transformation Pool below.

“Huh? What is this…” Zhou Tong’s eyes narrowed. At the spot where Zhong Ye died, an emerald Gu remained. He reached out on instinct.

The Gu sprang to life and lunged for his palm, trying to burrow into him.
