Divine Brilliance

With his head being tossed up into the air and his consciousness dimming down, only then did he see a palm-sized silver hanging in mid-air. It looked somewhat human, with six transparent wings stretching out from its back. Around its body, a saint white-coloured flame burnt. It was bright and pure with two pairs of inch-long knife arms that were giving off a cold glow.

The two grade-8 grandmasters reacted, they stepped out forwards. A sad roar caused the entire area to change. Within the space of a hundred thousand feet, spiritual energy surged. Two strong killing intents locked down on Hanxi.

However, before they even attacked, there was a dragon roar. Lightning glow quickly flashed, a sky full of spear shadows shot at them with purple-colored lighting. The two of them covered within the barrage.

The purple glow in Hanxi’s eyes shone sharply. Just as their weapons clashed with Zong Yuan’s spear, it made a move. It turned into a wide light and zoomed through the wind and energy ripples. With its two pairs of knife arms, its blade spun and pierced right through one of them! Shredding the target’s organs into pieces!

The two Juelong City spirit masters behind had noticed the danger even before the black-shirted male’s head had flew off. They didn’t hesitate to summon their protector beasts. Two grade-7 beasts appeared in front of them.

They tossed out several soul stones while chanting out incantations. With that, several grade-8 soul beasts were summoned. In that instance, they protected themselves tightly.

The one on the left wanted to cast a spell, however, when he tried to absorb the nearby fire element spiritual energy, his face turned ashen white.

A knife shadow suddenly appeared beside him. It silently broke through the spiritual talisman protecting him, only then did he notice what happened.

The person was shocked, his soul left his physical body and rose into the air. The sword shadow followed closely behind and stabbed into his soul. The sword body that was filled with true Qi squeezed, slashing the soul that just turned into human form.

When the other man saw that, he panicked. Instinctively, he rode up into the air and tried to escape far away.

Just as he flew up thirty feet, Zong Shou laughed at him.

In the next instance, four silver lights shone and pierced through the air. At the start, he was only slightly wary.

However, when those four lights that each contained an extreme sword intent was close to him. No matter how much he changed directions or tried to dodge he was unable to avoid it. He felt despair.

The two protector beast soul beasts he summoned were directly destroyed by a knife shadow! The two grade-8 spiritual artifacts he used to block was instantly smashed by the second and third knife shadows! The last one directly pierced through the center of his eyebrows!

Following which, the sword intent exploded! The entire flying knife exploded out into numerous pieces! Directly blowing his head into dust. Even his soul wasn’t able to escape, it was crushed under the vast sword intent.

In just a few breaths, this Dragon Torture Platform was peaceful once more. The last grade-8 martial cultivator was also slain in one spear by the combined efforts of Hanxi and Zong Yuan. His body was also smashed into meat pieces by the maniac lightning power.

From the start to finish, Ye Feishuang and Ye Feihan just stood by with stunned expressions. When the two had wanted to help, the five grade-8 Juelong City people were already dead.

The Dragon Torture Platform was silent once more. A moment later, Ye Feishuang gave out a forced smile, “Actually… These people wouldn’t have dared to attack…”

Zong Shou was a little shocked when he heard this, but he still smiled as he looked at her, “I know! Of course they wouldn’t dare!”

He knew what the five of them were planning. If their threats failed, then they would probably give up and then think about it after this matter ends.

However, it was because of this reason, which was why he definitely wouldn’t let them leave with their lives.

Ye Feishuang slightly hesitated, before she finally muttered, “These people aren’t ordinary in the city, they are at least capital-commander grade…”

Zong Shou’s expression was really weird, “Will their Juelong City not find trouble for you and me if I let them go?”

Juelong City and he, both of them still had at least two problems that weren’t solved. According to this thought process, they were close-to-death enemies.

Five grade-8s, that was quite a strong group. Although he didn’t care much about it, it was still more or less problematic. However, since they were enemies, then naturally, he should reduce the overall strength of his foes.

If they wanted him to make people yield to him or respect him by treating them well, it would have had to depend on who they were.

Luckily, this wasn’t the game and they couldn’t revive. His enemies in God Emperor… No matter how many times he killed them, they would recover and relentlessly go up against him. They were really a headache.

Ye Feishuang was speechless, her gaze towards Zong Shou was a little different. On the way here, her impression of him still remained to that of two years ago.

Even after they split, albeit there was an intense battle.

Only until now did she realize that this commoner teen who was so average in everything was actually someone who killed so decisively, whose methods were cruel and vicious!

The strength of these few people could even go up against her Flood Dragon Puppet!

All of a sudden, her thoughts were in a mess, she didn’t know how to face ‘this’ Zong Shou.

Zong Shou stopped bothering about her presence and reached out his hand as he held the Heaven and Earth bags of these people.

He flipped it open to take a look and took out several spiritual artifacts. Each of them made Ye Feishuang’s heart jump. On it was thick dragon blood aura. It was obvious that it killed more than one dragon. Before this, she still felt a little pitiful for the group that they encountered here. Now, those feelings had disappeared without a trace.

She wanted to say something but hesitated. Before she managed to say anything, Zong Shou tossed a few artifacts over. This made her shocked, following closely after, she had a grateful expression on her face.

These spiritual artifacts were mostly aimed at the dragon race. To the people who had dragon blood, its killing strength was the highest.

Zong Shou wasn’t interested in any of them, he didn’t care about these items. Within the bag, there were a few other items along with spiritual talismans, mind stones, and etc. In total, they were around ten grade-9 beast crystals. Their gains weren’t bad at all.

Furthermore, within the bags, there were still many elite items.

“These torture weapons are really giving off strong vengeful energy! If you have suitable artifacts, you can ask for them from me. If you trust me, I can help you refine it. Oh? What is this?”

As he said this, his brows rose up while he took out a few more items.

There were two paper talismans which were made of special materials. They should be from a ten-thousand-year-old snow silkworm silk mixed with a really soft and flexible golden silk.

The quality of the material was even comparable to the celestial talisman he used on Hanxi.

Looking at it closely, Zong Shou laughed. He smiled as he looked at the Ice Flood Dragon, “No wonder these Juelong City people had so much confidence.”

It was a puppet soul descending talisman, the one that Yangfan had used before. After using it, it would become a silver armored puppet. However, this talisman was a grade higher.

The silver armored puppet’s strength could reach the initial grade-9 level. Two of these were enough to go up against the Ice Flood Dragon Puppet.

These two were both on the black-shirted man’s person. Luckily, he used Hanxi to assassinate him. If he hadn’t, and the black-shirted man managed to cast it, it would have been a little problematic.

Zong Shou was delighted and kept one of them. The other one? He dripped a drop of blood into it. After casting several spells, he activated the talisman.

The talisman dissolved, and in just a moment there was a huge silver armored man who appeared beside Zong Shou.

He tried to control it, and as expected, it did whatever he asked. One fist smashed towards the ground, however, the stone platform was not damaged at all.

Despite this, Zong Shou knew that its strength was no weaker than a grade-9 martial cultivator. The better the one controlling it is at the martial path, the stronger the silver armored man would be.

There was another way of using it, this was by releasing the soul from the body and entering the shell of a man. This meant that he would have the body of a grade-9 cultivator.

The only con to this was that if the paper man was injured, his soul will be damaged too.

The value of this was far above that of top spiritual artifacts. Since this was built from a high-grade talisman, it could naturally be used more than once. If it’s not spoilt, then shining it under the sun will enable it to recover in 10 days. Each time it’s used, one can use it for 48 hours, that was a full 2 days.

The next item that surprised him was a scroll. After Zong Shou opened it, a smile crept up on his face.

The scroll was naturally flat, but if he looked at it closely, he could see a spiritual formation appear on it.

After looking at it carefully, a bright glow appeared on his face.

“This is the formation drawing of the Dragon Hall?”

While he said this, Zong Shou turned and looked at Ye Feishuang,” Why does Juelong City have such an item?”

The formation drawing was quite detailed. However, it didn’t mark out the shortcut that she brought them in from.

Ye Feishuang took a look at it and her expression changed. Following which, she shook her head to say that she didn’t know, “Legend has it that they have a Soul Scouring Soul Snatching Technique. Maybe a high-grade dragon race person’s memory fell into their hands.”

Following this, she guessed, “It was said that ten thousand years ago, many human race people hid in the nine Dragon Halls, maybe some of them joined Juelong City, perhaps others simply left it.”

Zong Shou laughed, he clearly didn’t care whether what she said was true or not. As he looked at it further, he realized that it wasn’t only the formation. Many of the precious spiritual items were marked.

First, there was the God Realm Dragon Pellet which made his heart jump. It was also marked, located at the core of the Dragon Hall.

In the next instance, Zong Shou asked curiously, “What’s the use of the Energy Accumulating Fountain?”

On the map, there were a few red dots. One of them was the Dragon Torture Platform, the second was the Pill Accumulating Cave, and the third one was that.

“Energy Accumulating Fountain? There is an Energy Accumulating Fountain in this third Dragon Hall? Did you mistake it for something else?”

Ye Feishuang exclaimed as she asked anxiously.
