633 Kill One to Warn A Hundred (2/2)
There had been quite a few people, but none of them could make their way into the palace. Actually, it was not a big deal for them to waste time under the sky of thunder and lightning, but one of them had unexpectedly broken into the palace. Although they were aware of the danger in palace, some people thought the first one would get all the benefits. So Zhou Bao's action was like igniting a stick of dynamite, motivating all the Demonic Immortals in the square to take action. Several lights began to flash, gathering into a cluster of colorful brilliance.
Sure, all of this came at a price. Zhou Bao witnessed three Demonic Immortals die under the Heavenly Thunder. There cultivations had been lower, they had only gone through Six Tribulations and couldn't keep up under the constant attack of Heavenly Thunder.
There was no barrier in the palace, so neither Zhou Bao and Administrator Zhang nor the Demonic Immortals encountered trouble and all of them managed to get into the palace.
Unlike the thunder that pervaded everywhere outside the square, when they entered the palace, they felt a cool and refreshing air. The previous sense of scorching and irritation had vanished.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but soon the atmosphere became weird.
It was an extremely spacious palace. Both its length and width exceeded thousands of meters, revealing a dense and majestic atmosphere.
The floor was white jade, and each tile engraved with exquisite motifs. These patterns seemed only to be decorated rather than to act as talismans. And all the motifs were grouped together, forming into a huge design, like a landscape of a shrinking world. When they looked up, they saw that the three-hundred-meter high roof was also full of decorative patterns, composed of clouds and rain. In the picture, a high-crowned immortal looked inspiring and impressive. Lightning flashed between his hands, turning it into endless thunderbolts and spilling it onto the ground.
”Is this the legendary Thunder Emperor? He seems to have a good momentum, but there is nothing special about it.” Zhou Bao thought. He suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him.
”Haha, Administrator Zhang! You're really somebody! What kind of history does your bodyguard have? Why the hell does he have fairy weapon? It really makes me jealous,” said a Demonic Immortal shrouded in black fog, revealing a greedy tone.
”Haha, it's you! Administrator Tu! Why do you have a fog? Aren't you afraid I will kill you? Don't worry! You can't go out because I'll kill you right here!” Administrator Zhang laughed in a strange way, and eight silver tentacles appeared behind him. They suddenly flew toward Administrator Tu and wrapped around him.
”How dare you!” Administrator Tu glared at the blue octopus without saying a word. With a long cry, his body turned violently. A large cloud of smoke rushed out, spinning the eight tentacles into a lump. Zhou Bao took action immediately. With malicious eyes, he appeared to the right of the smoke. The Green Bamboo Stick in his hand had been replaced by a small green hammer which slammed into the black smoke.
”BANG!”
With a loud bang, the thick smoke turned into an entity. The black-clothed man was blasted away fiercely. His seemingly strong body was shattered to pieces, melting into a blood fog and fading away.
”HISS!!!”
Everyone in the palace gasped at the ghastly sight before them. Even Administrator Zhang was astonished.
Although he had behaved maliciously, he was not sure that he was able to kill Administrator Tu. What surprised him was the way Zhou Bao killed him with his hammer with no mercy. Such a living Lord of Heaven smashed into pieces, simple and cruel.
However, it was also this simple and cruel means that astonished and terrified all the witnesses.
”Where the hell did this guy come from? How can he be so powerful?”
”How is it possible? I reckon his cultivation is less than a Genuine Immortal. How is it possible to kill a Lord of Heaven with a hammer?”
”Yes, it's impossible! He must be hiding his cultivation, right?”
For a while the identities were hidden in the palace, but several acquainted Demonic Immortals communicated with other each in their mind and became more scared when they looked at Zhou Bao.
A hint of cruelty flashed through his eyes. The reason he had struck to kill with no mercy was to subdue the other Demonic Immortals in the temple. He also saw that these people had a strong desire for the fairy weapon in his hands. And they didn't turn their nose up at his cultivation. If he was not able to subdue them in one blow and make them fear him, then this trip to the Thunder Emperor's palace would inevitably lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.
He decided to apply thunderbolt means to show his real strength. He needed to make them fear before he could rest assured.
”Hmm, it's a Lord of Heaven who just went through Seven Tribulations. He can't even stand my hammer. How dare he challenge the Administrator? He must be suicidal!” he said with a cold snort. He went behind Administrator Zhang, trying to project a humble and loyal image.
”Haha!” Administrator Zhang forced a smile to his lips. He was in a complex mood and didn't want to say anything more or see these Demonic Immortals. He just looked to the deep tunnel leading to the rear of the house.
There was nothing worth clinging to. If one wanted to get benefits, he had to move on. But no one knew where those deep passages would lead and what danger was waiting for him.
