354: kill!

Chu Tong's forward steps halted once more.

When he turned around, a powerful and violent killing intent surged in his eyes.

He hadn't expected... this person to dare to threaten him!

At the same time, as Xiao Shi's words came out, the complexions of all the Martial Demon Realm experts around them changed.

Although they all felt Chu Tong's actions were extremely shameless, and they deeply resented him, believing he was completely unworthy of taking these exclusive items, they knew that he had been designated by the Great Wu Crown Prince.

Everyone had to prioritize him!

No matter how angry or frustrated they were, there was nothing they could do.

With the Great Wu Crown Prince's restriction on them, they still had to assist him obediently.

Most importantly... while they had the restriction on them, Chu Tong did not have any restriction.

This meant... they couldn't attack Chu Tong, but Chu Tong... could attack them!

This was the point they feared most in their hearts.

Therefore, the moment Xiao Shi spoke those words, Zhou Hong's expression changed.

He quickly said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..."

"You can take any of these exclusive items."

The first sentence was directed at Xiao Shi, while the second was for Chu Tong.

He was afraid Chu Tong, in a fit of rage, would attack Xiao Shi.

The others also quickly tried to persuade him, expressing their willingness to give all the exclusive items to Chu Tong to appease his anger, not wanting to see Chu Tong attack Xiao Shi because of this.

Even the three Martial Demon Realm experts from the Three Great Domains did the same.

After all, they had only made it this far alive thanks to Xiao Shi.

Their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Xiao Shi.

And although Xiao Shi was powerful and unfathomable in their eyes, under the effect of the restriction, if he angered Chu Tong, he still wouldn't be able to attack and could only passively endure.

They felt that Xiao Shi must have been in a fit of pique earlier to say such irrational words.

Chu Tong sneered.

He thought this was good.

After Xiao Shi's outburst, he now had a sufficient reason to take all the exclusive items here.

"I want all these exclusive items. If anyone dares to say another word, don't blame me for being merciless."

He said coldly.

At the same time, his Crimson Refinement Corpse took a step towards the crowd to intimidate them.

With his strength, even if these people didn't have the restriction, he was confident enough to kill them.

Not to mention, under the restriction, no one could attack him.

This made him even more fearless.

Under the cover of the black cloak, no one could see Xiao Shi's lips slowly curving into a smile, and the light in his eyes becoming increasingly dangerous.

The killing intent in his heart continuously grew and boiled.

"Do you think that because I have a restriction on me, I can't do anything to you?"

Xiao Shi's voice was like ice, carrying a chilling cold that pierced Chu Tong's mind.

"Hmm?"

Chu Tong's pupils suddenly constricted.

A sense of alarming crisis surged in his heart.

Almost the instant this sense of crisis appeared, he unhesitatingly manipulated the Crimson Refinement Corpse to attack Xiao Shi.

Swish!

The Crimson Refinement Corpse manipulated by Chu Tong was exactly the same as Xiao Shi's Crimson Refinement Corpse, also wearing Crimson Refinement Battle Armor. The only difference was that its weapon was a war hammer.

Although the weapon was different, this war hammer was also a Saint Grade Corpse Soldier, and its power was no less than Xiao Shi's Crimson Refinement Corpse Blade.

As a Saint Grade corpse, even if Chu Tong couldn't unleash the full power of the Crimson Refinement Corpse, its terrifying speed allowed it to appear before Xiao Shi in a flash.

Its speed was so fast that it completely surpassed the visual capture of these Martial Demon Realm experts.

"No good!!"

Everyone's expressions changed.

Although they knew Xiao Shi also had a Crimson Refinement Corpse by his side, the most troublesome thing was that Xiao Shi had the restriction left by the Great Wu Crown Prince on him.

Once Xiao Shi made a move, he would inevitably trigger the restriction!

Even attacking Chu Tong's Crimson Refinement Corpse would trigger the restriction!

After all, the Crimson Refining Corpse controlled by Chu Tong was like his weapon; attacking it was equivalent to attacking Chu Tong, and both would trigger the restriction.

If it were a fair fight between the two, everyone believed that with Xiao Shi's strength, he would certainly not be inferior to Chu Tong, but the problem was... under the restriction, Xiao Shi simply couldn't make a move.

As soon as he made a move, he would trigger the restriction.

He could only be in a passive, defensive position.

Swish!

In an instant, Chu Tong's Crimson Refining Corpse had already reached Xiao Shi.

The war hammer in his hand was raised high, and with the power of a Saint, he swung the war hammer towards Xiao Shi.

Facing the Crimson Refinement Corpse at close quarters and the descending war hammer in its hand, Xiao Shi's expression remained calm. He did not retreat a single step, nor did he make any attempt to dodge, simply standing calmly in place.

When the war hammer struck by the Crimson Refinement Corpse was less than ten centimeters away from Xiao Shi, a black shadow instantly rushed out from behind Xiao Shi, moving with extreme speed. Before the war hammer in the Crimson Refinement Corpse's hand could touch Xiao Shi, it fiercely collided with the Crimson Refinement Corpse.

Boom!!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the ground collapsed and crumbled in the tremor, creating a gigantic deep pit.

Inside the deep pit, a humanoid creature completely covered in black scales heavily stepped on the Crimson Refinement Corpse.

Its long tail, covered in black scales, gently swayed. Its deep crimson vertical pupils held only ferocity and malevolence.

It didn't look at the Crimson Refinement Corpse beneath its foot, but instead stared intently at Chu Tong in front.

Under the Evil Energy User's cold gaze, Chu Tong felt his scalp tingle, and his entire soul was filled with an incredibly strong sense of warning, every piece of flesh and blood on his body seemed to be roaring at him, telling him: Danger! Danger! Danger!

However, with the speed the Evil Energy User had just displayed... Chu Tong clearly knew that even if he tried to escape now, he wouldn't be faster than the opponent.

This was a Saint!!

This made his expression change drastically, losing all his previous arrogance and haughtiness.

His body trembled, his face turned pale, and his eyes widened, letting out an incredulous growl, "This... what is this!!"

He had no idea what this black humanoid creature that suddenly appeared was!

Nor did he know why Xiao Shi was able to make this black humanoid creature attack.

From the fact that Xiao Shi didn't trigger the restriction, it was clear... this black humanoid creature was obviously not under his control.

After all, if this black humanoid creature were controlled by Xiao Shi, then Xiao Shi would have definitely triggered the restriction by now.

Xiao Shi looked coldly at Chu Tong.

Although the Great Wu Crown Prince had placed a restriction on them, this restriction was far from the true restriction Xiao Shi had encountered in the Demigod Land.

The restriction imposed by the Great Wu Crown Prince still had some loopholes.

For example, regarding the restriction against attacking fellow members of the Great Wu Dynasty, it only meant that one's own body could not make a move.

But as long as one allowed someone not under their direct control to act, then this restriction would not be triggered.

The current Evil Energy User acted because of the immense fear it had for him, not daring to defy any of his commands.

It wasn't like the Crimson Refinement Corpse, which was directly manipulated by him.

Therefore, allowing the Evil Energy User to attack would not trigger the restriction on him.

Unless the restriction left by the Great Wu Crown Prince back then was a powerful restriction like those in the Demigod Land.

Under such a restriction... even a thought couldn't exist.

As long as one had the thought of making a move, it would directly trigger the restriction.

But it was obvious that with the Great Wu Crown Prince's strength and cultivation, he was still far from achieving that.

In fact, the Great Wu Crown Prince's ability to use the Great Wu Dynasty's destiny to place such a restriction on them was already the limit of what he could do.

In the entire Tianwu Continent, only the Great Wu Crown Prince had the ability to do this.

After all, restrictions... were a method only Demigods possessed!

The Evil Energy User completely stepped on the Crimson Refinement Corpse, glaring coldly at Chu Tong.

It was awaiting Xiao Shi's next command.

Chu Tong desperately tried to make the Crimson Refinement Corpse on the ground struggle to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried to manipulate it, the Crimson Refining Corpse couldn't get up from under the Evil Energy User's foot.

If he could unleash the full power of the Crimson Refinement Corpse, he would indeed be able to fight the Evil Energy User.

After all, the Crimson Refinement Corpse was also a Saint.

But without mastering the Crimson Refining Secret Skill, he could only unleash a portion of the Crimson Refinement Corpse's Saint power, making it impossible to possess the strength to contend with the Evil Energy User.

Under the Evil Energy User's cold gaze, Xiao Shi spoke calmly.

"Kill him."

As his words came out, Chu Tong's breathing immediately hitched, and he felt the threat of death.

"You... do you know what you're doing!!"

"Kill me??"

"I am the person personally designated by the Great Wu Crown Prince, do you dare to kill me??"

"Do you dare to defy the Great Wu Crown Prince's orders??"

"Do you intend to rebel!"

"Are you going to be an enemy of the Great Wu Dynasty!!"

Under the intense threat of death, he completely panicked, roaring incoherently.

He began to realize... the identity granted to him by the Great Wu Crown Prince was useless!

The other party really intended to kill him!

Intense panic surged in his heart.

Cold sweat instantly drenched Chu Tong's back.

His legs trembled and shook as he began to retreat.

However, he had only taken one step back when a black light flashed.

The Evil Energy User, covered in black scales, had already appeared before him.

An unprecedented life-and-death crisis exploded in Chu Tong's mind, causing him to unleash all the treasures the Great Wu Crown Prince had bestowed upon him.

Five different thick barriers instantly formed around his body.

At the same time, an astonishing beam of light shot out from his chest.

This was a power with incredibly astonishing destructive force, capable of even threatening a Saint.

It was also the most powerful treasure among all the treasures the Great Wu Crown Prince had bestowed upon him.

Chu Tong regarded it as his strongest trump card.

Originally, he had planned to use this trump card as an important means to contend for this special area.

But in the current crisis, he dared not hold back even a little.

He decisively used this powerful trump card.

Pfft!

Under the powerful beam of light, even the Evil Energy User's sturdy black scales were instantly pierced through by the beam, creating a fist-sized hole in its chest.

Moreover, along the edge of this hole, a transparent flame emerged, continuously burning the Evil Energy User's body, causing the hole to expand.

Even with the Evil Energy User's powerful healing ability, it was far from matching the burning caused by this flame.

At this rate... the Evil Energy User would soon turn to ashes under the burning of these transparent flames, as the hole in its body expanded.

Xiao Shi's expression remained calm about this, without a ripple in his eyes, as if he had already anticipated this scene.

He had known all along that the Great Wu Crown Prince had given Chu Tong some powerful means, and it was very likely that there were means capable of threatening a Saint among them.

Swish!

Xiao Shi's figure flickered, appearing behind the Evil Energy User.

He reached out and placed his palm on the Evil Energy User's shoulder.

The Flame Moon mark on his glabella instantly emerged from his glabella.

The aura of evil souls surging from the mark continuously poured into the Evil Energy User's body, using evil souls to enhance the Evil Energy User's various abilities!

The evil soul in his glabella's Flame Moon mark was, after all, the evil soul of the third-ranked Evil Energy User on the Ten Evils Ranking!

It could bring an incredibly huge improvement to the current Evil Energy User, thereby allowing the Evil Energy User's recovery ability to directly surpass the burning capability of the transparent flames, causing the hole in its body to stop expanding and instead begin to shrink, with its body continuously healing.

"You!!"

Chu Tong's eyes were bloodshot.

Originally, his trump card was enough to eliminate the Evil Energy User.

But he hadn't expected Xiao Shi to be able to provide such an enhancement to the Evil Energy User.

And Xiao Shi's act of enhancing the Evil Energy User would not trigger the restriction.

After all, there was no such prohibition in the restriction.

All of a sudden, with the enhancement of the Evil Energy User, its entire arm instantly turned into a black light. Upon touching the barriers on Chu Tong's body, even with the strength of Chu Tong's five layers of barriers, they were completely unable to withstand the Evil Energy User's arm and shattered into pieces.

Pfft!

The arm covered in black scales grabbed Chu Tong's neck.

"No... no, don't kill me, please!"

The fear brought by death made Chu Tong unable to help but beg for mercy. Although it was the Evil Energy User who was clutching his neck, his gaze was fixed on Xiao Shi, who stood behind the Evil Energy User, pleading continuously.

Xiao Shi's gaze was cold and unmoved.

Crack!

As the Evil Energy User's hand clenched, Chu Tong's neck was instantly broken.

And from the Evil Energy User's palm, a black aura transformed into a swirling vortex, engulfing Chu Tong's body.

These vortexes intensified, permeating Chu Tong's glabella, and began to annihilate the soul within Chu Tong's body, leaving no chance for survival.

Pfft!

Then, the Evil Energy User waved its hand, turning into a black light that flashed across Chu Tong's body, instantly causing his body to explode and shatter, transforming into a sky full of blood rain that splattered in all directions.
