162: Second kill Zhou Tong

Zhou Tong saw everyone’s gaze turn to him.

He casually stretched, and used his grimy fingernail to pick his teeth.

He continued nonchalantly, “He’s fair-skinned and tender, a pretty boy, good to look at but useless.”

Even with Xie Yang (Setting Sun)’s good upbringing, he was somewhat angered now.

He stood ramrod straight, his gaze like a torch, and said to Zhou Tong.

“Whether I’m a pretty boy or not, Senior can certainly try.”

The old man chuckled lightly and said, “This old man wouldn’t dare, this old man doesn’t know his own strength.”

“What if I accidentally injure you, and Lord God Emperor gets angry.”

“No matter how arrogant this old man is, he wouldn’t presume to be Lord God Emperor’s opponent.”

After Zhou Tong finished speaking, he cast a provocative glance at the God Emperor.

His expression showed no fear.

It was clearly a provocation.

Seeing this, the God Emperor merely chuckled lightly and said.

“This banquet is for my son, and he is in charge; this Emperor will not interfere.”

This was exactly what Zhou Tong was waiting for.

Both sides seemed to be full of confidence in themselves.

Zhou Tong let out a long cry and, with a flash, appeared in front of Xie Yang (Setting Sun).

“Since that’s the case, then let this old man witness the unique skills of God Emperor Palace.”

“Don’t say this old man bullies the younger generation, this old man will let you have three moves first.”

Seeing Zhou Tong so arrogant, someone below the stage said.

“He’s really asking for death. As fellow Divine Monarchs, to even let him have three moves, he won’t even know how he died.”

His voice had just fallen.

The person who had just announced Zhou Tong’s name retorted, “He has the capital to be arrogant.”

“Oh? How so?”

Someone immediately asked.

That person then said, “Although they are both Divine Monarchs, there are also strengths and weaknesses.”

“And this Zhou Tong, hundreds of years ago, was able to defeat two Divine Monarchs by himself.”

“And one of them, in the end, died of severe injuries.”

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone gasped.

There were many powerful Divine Monarchs present.

They knew how difficult it was to defeat a Divine Monarch of the same realm.

Not to mention one against two, and even causing one to die from severe injuries.

If the rumors were true, then Zhou Tong’s strength was truly terrifying.

Lin Mu sat to the side, watching the farce with great interest.

He had originally intended to stir up trouble.

Seeing someone else take the lead, he was happy to let it happen.

Looking at Zhou Tong on the stage, he asked softly.

“How do you two feel about this person’s strength?”

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and said, “His strength is probably on par with mine.”

Zhang Daoling glanced disdainfully, but said nothing.

However, his expression clearly showed that he did not take Zhou Tong seriously.

Just then, the two on the stage had already started fighting.

More accurately, one person was attacking, while the other was dodging and not retaliating.

Suddenly, the dodging person laughed loudly and said, “Three moves are over, it’s my turn now.”

Xie Yang (Setting Sun) hadn’t expected that this Zhou Tong actually had some skill.

He had actually dodged all three of his attacks.

Immediately, he felt a loss of face.

This banquet was supposed to be his chance to make a name for himself.

But it was ruined by this slovenly old man.

How could he be willing?

Thinking of this, Xie Yang (Setting Sun) secretly mobilized his innate power.

This was a divine power only possessed by direct descendants of God Emperor Palace.

The divine abilities used with this divine power were several times more powerful than ordinary divine power.

Golden runes crawled all over Xie Yang (Setting Sun)’s body.

Immediately after, his long sword pointed forward.

A golden spectral dragon shot towards Zhou Tong.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong continuously cast three incantations with his hands.

Immediately, three skulls opened their mouths wide and lunged towards the spectral dragon.

And as these three skulls appeared, those standing closer felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.

Frightened, they all retreated backward, cold sweat breaking out on their faces simultaneously.

One of them said, “This Zhou Tong is truly terrifying; just standing a little closer almost got me.”

And those who were on good terms with God Emperor Palace secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Xie Yang (Setting Sun).

Just then, the skulls and the spectral dragon collided.

Everyone quickly activated their divine power to create a protective shield.

However, the scene that followed greatly surprised them.

The expected collision did not occur.

The spectral dragon, with unstoppable force, shattered the skulls, then continued its momentum, pulverizing Zhou Tong.

He didn't even have time for his soul to escape.

This scene not only stunned everyone.

Even Zhang Daoling, who had originally been dismissive, showed a hint of shock.

With just one blow, an already renowned Divine Monarch was killed.

This newly promoted Divine Monarch Xie Yang (Setting Sun) truly made people look at him in a new light.

Among the forces allied with God Emperor Palace.

A short, stout middle-aged man laughed and said.

“Divine Monarch Xie Yang (Setting Sun)’s divine might is unparalleled, the unique skills of God Emperor Palace truly impresses this old man.”

With one person taking the lead, many forces followed suit with flattering words.

Even those who were still observing the situation joined the ranks of flatterers.

Only a few chose to remain silent.

The Western God Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

He was quite pleased with Xie Yang (Setting Sun)’s performance.

It was not in vain that he spent a great deal to create a golden body for him.

Among the three brothers, he favored Xie Yang (Setting Sun) the most.

He also groomed him to be the successor to the God Emperor.

And as the protagonist of the banquet,

Xie Yang (Setting Sun) was now being praised by everyone.

His vanity had now been maximally satisfied.

He didn't know if it was intentional,

After saying a few polite words.

Then he changed the topic and said, “I wonder if there are any other seniors in the hall who would like to offer some guidance?”

Compared to before, everyone’s attitude towards Xie Yang (Setting Sun) had long lost its previous disdain.

Who would easily make a move now?

Seeing that everyone was silent, they all averted their eyes, not daring to look directly into Xie Yang (Setting Sun)’s eyes.

Xie Yang (Setting Sun) chuckled and said, “Since all seniors are so deferential, this junior will not disturb your drinking.”

After saying that, Xie Yang (Setting Sun) made to retreat.

And at this moment, Jun Wuyou suddenly stood up.

As a registered disciple of the God Emperor, Jun Wuyou naturally knew Xie Yang (Setting Sun).

Xie Yang (Setting Sun)’s brows furrowed slightly, not understanding Jun Wuyou’s intention.

Just as he was puzzled, Jun Wuyou spoke.

“Although Brother Xie Yang (Setting Sun) is a prodigy of the younger generation, some people might not be convinced.”

Without waiting for Xie Yang (Setting Sun) to speak.

He pointed at Lin Mu and said, “Lin Mu, am I right?”

Lin Mu was just thinking of an excuse to make his entrance.

And someone just handed him a pillow.

He sneered and said.

“A prodigy of the younger generation, indeed. Did you crown him? What are you, anyway?”

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuyou not only didn’t get angry, but instead secretly rejoiced.

Lin Mu’s words clearly showed no respect for Xie Yang (Setting Sun).

Indeed.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yang (Setting Sun) was about to get angry.

But remembering the purpose of this banquet, he did not appear overly agitated.

He merely said calmly, “This Brother Lin, your cultivation must be above mine.”

“Please, Brother Lin, come up and give me some pointers.”

Although Xie Yang (Setting Sun) spoke politely, anyone could hear the underlying tension in his words.

Just as everyone thought another big battle was about to ensue.

Lin Mu, however, said calmly, “You are not qualified enough for me to make a move.”
