Chapter 176 - : A Battle with Tuo Ku (2/2)

“It really is a spirit weapon!”

Zheng Yong shouted from behind Tuo Ku, his eyes filled with greed. The other old monk in the red cassock also stared at Zhou Donghuang, his eyes shining with wonder.

“Sir, by putting the spirit weapon on display like that… Are you not afraid that we would steal it?”

Tuo Ku’s eyes also burned with desire.

“That would actually depend on whether you are even capable of doing that.”

As Zhou Donghuang responded, he stood upright, his sharp glare sweeping across Tuo Ku and the others. “The three of you… come at me!”

In a flash, Zhou Donghuang leaped into the air. As he secreted the delicate ball of light away, he pulled out a fan that unfolded quickly to reveal a row of sharp blades aimed at the men in front of him.

“Perhaps the late Primal Core adept standing behind you might be a more worthy opponent…” Tuo Ku said bitterly.

Tuo Ku still insisted that the man behind the seventeenth elder, Liu Xuanyu’s death, was another man who was with Zhou Donghuang, a Primal Core adept.

In addition, through the young man’s own words, Tuo Ku was able to confirm that he knew his identity had been exposed. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to mention the two transactions that had been made with the Divine Light Sect before.

“Such arrogance!”

Zheng Yong’ face darkened as he leaped forward toward the youth. “You are but an early Primal Core adept! Even with the spirit weapon’s power, I alone would be enough to defeat you!

“Today, I will help your elder to teach you a lesson and make you understand that no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone out there that is better!”

When he was done, Zheng Yong was already right in front of Zhou Donghuang.

Boom!

Zheng Yong thrust out a palm, and a vast amount of white light from his essential core condensed and shot out, aiming for Zhou Donghuang’s shoulders like a menacing rainbow of bright white light.

However, in the face of the lightning-fast strike from Zheng Yong, Zhou Donghuang seemed unperturbed, and with a quick movement of his shoulder, he allowed himself to take a direct hit from his opponent, his hair billowing from the force of the attack.

“Too weak.”

Zhou Donghuang calmly responded, and before Zheng Yong even had the time to even react, he had put his hand on Zheng Yong’s shoulder with thunderous force, and ripped his arm out in a split instant.

Fresh blood poured out, a gory sight to behold!

“Urgh!”

Zheng Yong groaned as he tried to stifle the pain, and eventually his whole being slumped to the ground, leaning to the side of the room. As his eyes met Zhou Donghuang’s again, they were filled with sheer panic, fear and incredulity.

He had never thought that the opponent would be able to fend off his attack.

And even less so, that in such a short amount of time, he would be able to take the strike and return an attack!

This experience in combat made him feel as if he were fighting with a battle-hardened monster who had stepped out from hell itself. It made him feel weak and powerless, and it canceled all thoughts of ever confronting him again.

Hisss…

As the old monk in the red cassock behind Tuo Ku considered the scene in front of him, he took a deep breath and looked again at the young man in white robes, who seemed a lot more imposing.

Zheng Yong’s strength was not far from that of his own.

However, this was a truly devastating defeat.

Although everything just happened in the blink of an eye, he could see that the other party was not a fluke, and that he was truly the one in control.

What a trickster, having been able to turn the tide like that!

And if he were to take matters in his own hands, his fate would nonetheless be the same.

“How is it that an early Primal Core adept… can be capable of such moves?”

The old monk in red was truly terrified and involuntarily took a step back. If there was a choice, he would not willingly challenge the young man who had so easily torn off Zheng Yong’s arm.

“It was you that killed Liu Xuanyu?” Tuo Ku asked instinctively, he did not know why, but he had a nagging suspicion in that instant.

Previously, because he knew that the young man was only an early Primal Core adept, and he had never completely linked Liu Xuanyu’s death to him… But at that moment, he was clear that if the young man did not have mercy, Zheng Yong would already be dead.

“You thought it was someone else that did it?”

Zhou Donghuang simply laughed in response.

“I guess I underestimated you.”

Tuo Ku’s face became grave as he said bluntly, “We, the Divine Light Sect, want your spirit weapon… However, since you intend to spar with me, I will go along with it. And while we’re at it, as Zheng Yong said before, you had better learn a lesson from your elders and let me teach you something about modesty! ”

As Tuo Ku made this declaration, the Silver Essence expanded from his body and wrapped his entire being in stunning silver light.

Boom!!

As Tuo Ku’s feet touched the ground, the floor of the entire room suddenly sank, and horrible cracks started to form and spread like spider webs across the room.

At that moment, every man who was in the Black Market seemed to feel a tremor beneath their feet.

“What’s happening there?”

“Is it an earthquake?”
