As the saying goes, the few cannot fight the many. Elder Tu Geer was an Asura and had four arms, but Zhong Yue had closely engaged him in melee combat. Zhong Yue have cultivated the Immortal Body and he was not any weaker than the Martial Masters, engaging him in a close-quarters fight would only restrain him from fully unleashing his skills.

Furthermore, Zhong Yue had concealed the Golden Feathery Peng Sword in his Golden Crow Demonic Wings, slashing down on Tu Geer's head; prohibited his inner core and Yuan Shen from coming out; and in addition to that, both Tian Mo Concubine and Ji Xiang Concubine were Inner Core experts. Add in the other twenty-some court ladies who were also Inner Core Qi Practitioners, and Tu Geer was taken down to the ground without being able to put up a counterattack.

When Tu Jiang arrived, Elder Tu Geer was already lying in the bottom of the pit, tens of soul weapons pierced into his chest from behind, destroying the life force in his body.

The demon race's soul weapons were incredibly peculiar, as not only could they could damage the mortal body, they could also impair one's blood, arcane energy, Yuan Shen, and psyche. Some of Tian Mo Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the court ladies' soul weapons were even more bizarre than that, being able to flow into his body and inflict more damage directly from the inside.

Tu Jiang looked down and saw the almost-dead elder; Tu Geer also saw Tu Jiang at the same time and fainted away, possibly from anger, possibly from shame.

One of the court ladies was overly excited as she asked, "Mister, shall we take down Tu Jiang also?"

Tu Jiang was shocked. His prowess was about the same as Tu Geer; in fact, Tu Geer, who was younger, would naturally have more energy and was stronger than him. If Zhong Yue leading the ladies could nearly kill Tu Geer, they would be able to take him down also!

The other ladies were clearly thrilled by the idea. This was the first time they had ever bullied a renowned Heavenly Dharma expert, it was truly an enjoyable experience!

Zhong Yue forced a cough and a smile, he said, "Senior Martial Brother Tu Jiang, you've come at the right time! If you came a minute earlier, we won't have been able to beat Elder Tu Geer to this state, and if you'd come a little later, Elder Tu Geer might be dead already. Senior Martial Brothet Tu Jiang, you must have some hatred against him, right?"

Tu Jiang quickly answered, "Mister, please don't make fun of me. I've only come because I heard that Tu Geer was coming after you, and I hurried over to stop him. But who knew I was still late…"

He had long thought of what words to say, but what was once intended to be said to stop Tu Geer from teaching Zhong Yue a lesson was now carrying a different message; the smile on his face was still there, but it clearly looked unnatural.

Zhong Yue laughed out loud, "It should be that you were a step early. But whatever, since you are here already, I shouldn't kill him in front of you; after all, you and I are friends, I should give senior martial brother some face…"

Cold sweat burst out of Tu Jiang, he forced a laugh and answered, "The Asura Saint Clan has no intention of making enemies with Mister Mo Luo, please, may the Mister give me some face…"

The smile on his face was clearly forced, looking incredibly unnatural. He was initially here to employ kindness and severity to Zhong Yue, but who would knew that in the end, their positions would be switched, with Zhong Yue being the one showing kindness and severity.

Tian Mo Concubine smirked coldly, "Elder Tu Jiang has just said that the Asura Saint Clan is an ally with my Mister, and yet, an Asura expert, Elder Tu Geer, was sent over to kill us the second we left! It's clear to me that the Asura Saint Clan is a race that knows no shame over going back on their words. Thankfully, our Mister was strong enough to stop Tu Geer. However, letting him off so easily from attempting murder on our mister, do you think this is fine, Elder Tu Jiang?"

Tu Jiang was starting to have headache over the knotty situation, and said embarrassingly, "Tian Mo Concubine is right."

She then smiled and said, "Tu Geer failed in his attempt to murder all of us and is severely injured in turn; hence, that makes him our captive. Our Mister is a kind man and because of his good relations with Elder Tu Jiang, he is willing to spare Tu Geer's life and put an end to this matter. However, in return, Elder Tu Jiang will have to pay a ransom for Tu Geer."

Tu Jiang's face turned sorrowful as he said hesitantly, "About this ransom…"

Zhong Yue furtively raised his thumb to Tian Mo Concubine while praising her in his heart.

Tian Mo Concubine said with an easy smile, "Our Mister is very kind, but even so, I suppose it wouldn't be too much if Tu Geer's treasures in his Yuan Shen secret realms now belonged to our Mister, would it?"

Tu Jiang's eyelids were thumping, he inhaled a deep breath of air and said, "It is not. But Tu Geer's soul weapon is the work of his life, he has dedicated his whole life and treasures to forge it…"

Tian Mo Concubine then said staunchly, "It must be Mister's! If Elder Tu Jiang can't accept this, then alternatively, you can bring back a dead Tu Geer!"

Tu Jiang had no choice and could only accept. He personally went into the pit and moved Tu Geer out to the surface. He sighed as he gazed at the unconscious Tu Geer, and proceeded search the latter's Yuan Shen secret realms, bringing the treasures out as he thought to himself, Senior martial brother, I'm sorry, but you can't blame anyone for this except yourself for being too weak. Our Saint Race's Clan Master sent you to show the power of the Asura, and me to show the kindness of our race. But who knew you were this weak; in order to save you, I can only hand over your treasures to Mister Mo Luo….

Tu Geer's treasures were many, the ladies' eyes brightened as they saw his belongings, including seven different soul weapons. Among those, there was a soul weapon that attracted them the most. It was a bone mace with nine faces, and each of the faces were actually triangular-shaped skulls.

Zhong Yue picked the mace up and channelled his arcane energy into it. Hu—— suddenly, the mace enlarged, all nine faces of the mace were as huge as mountains, while the haft was made of snake bone.

Zhong Yue continued pushing the arcane energy into it, and in the next moment, the nine faces suddenly turned into nine demon Jiao waving in the air while blasting demonic fire around them. The haft turned into the body of a huge snake with its tail clenched in Zhong Yue's hands.

Zhong Yue withdrew his arcane energy, and the nine demon Jiao turned back into the bone mace. It was incredibly heavy, and merely swinging it could generate an appallingly strong power.
