MTL NOVEL Chapter 38
Chapter 38: They Were Fierce Towards Me, So You Can’t Be Fierce Towards Me Anymore…
A surge of red-black energy shot up into the sky, mixed with brutal power, scattering the clouds into disarray.
Mu Ran Ya had lost control, unleashing her power with no restraint, as if she wanted to destroy everything around her.
At this moment, she stood in mid-air, her gaze locked onto the Little Demoness and Long Lingyun, her eyes revealing a constant interplay of clarity and chaos, as she struggled to suppress her desire to kill.
“Get away from Master quickly, she’s very dangerous now.”
The Little Demoness appeared experienced, slowly retreating with Long Lingyun, her movements extremely gentle, trying not to provoke Mu Ran Ya.
As long as they exited the danger zone, they would be safe.
However, the situation this time was evidently different; the Heart Demon that gripped Mu Ran Ya was incredibly fierce, and she sprang forward in an instant.
“We’re doomed, run!”
The faces of the two girls changed drastically as they pushed their speed to the limit, but no matter what, they couldn’t shake off the approaching threat.
“Return my disciple’s life, you all shall die!”
Mu Ran Ya’s voice was cold, clearly treating them as enemies, unleashing a devastating attack.
Glimpses of a vast red dust transformed into waves, advancing toward them with terrifying speed, destroying everything in its path and reaching the two girls in the blink of an eye.
“You go first, I’ll block it.”
A determined look flashed across the Little Demoness’s face as she pushed Long Lingyun away and faced the raging tide alone.
“Senior Sister!”
“Go quickly, my life was given by Master; even if I die by her hands, I have no regrets, but you must be safe.”
She activated the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill and likewise unleashed the Red Dust Sea, attempting to counter it.
But the levels of power between them were not on the same scale; the Little Demoness’s Red Dust Sea was instantly obliterated, her face turning incredibly pale.
“Goodbye, Master. I’m sorry, little pervert, I can no longer accompany you.”
She resignedly closed her eyes, the face of a young man flashing through her mind.
“Pull yourself together! I’m coming!”
At that critical moment, a roar pierced through the air, injecting strength into the two desperate girls.
Zhou Tong rushed over, waving his hand as blood-colored thunder gathered in his palm, then transformed into a crescent-shaped blade of light, cutting through the Red Dust Sea with a single strike!
“You finally came back!”
The Little Demoness’s voice trembled with tears, filled with grievance.
“Don’t worry, with me around, even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!”
Zhou Tong passed the Little Demoness and faced Mu Ran Ya directly.
Looking at his back, the Demoness couldn’t help but smile, her eyes swirling with unknown emotions.
“How could you suddenly fall into madness? What an unreliable and irresponsible adult.”
Zhou Tong reproached, his expression softened.
“Give me back my Qiao Qiao!”
Mu Ran Ya twisted her delicate body in mid-air, her expression one of great suffering, as if she were having a nightmare.
A stronger force began to gather; she could no longer control herself.
At this moment, Zhou Tong acted, unleashing a finger, a fist, and a palm, three rays of red light traversing the void, piercing through Mu Ran Ya’s forehead, chest, and dantian, yet doing her no harm.
Immediately, red markings emerged on Mu Ran Ya’s body as the Union Lock activated smoothly, suppressing all her powers.
“Calm down for a moment.”
As he spoke, Zhou Tong threw down the door from his body and suppressed it over Mu Ran Ya.
“Master!” the Little Demoness exclaimed.
“Don’t worry, this is the supreme treasure of the Jade Purity Sect, containing the universe, capable of calming the soul; it’s beneficial, not harmful to her.”
Zhou Tong dispelled the Little Demoness’s concerns and then looked at the two girls: “What happened? I’m only away for a moment, and Master has turned into this?”
The two looked down, not hiding anything, and explained the events clearly.
“Heavenly Dao Mansion, Zhao Wutian!”
A glint of light flickered in Zhou Tong’s eyes, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
In the next moment, he vanished from his spot, appearing in a secret chamber.
The secret chamber was a mess; the league leader was surprisingly still alive and had broken free from his restraints, staring at him with blood-red eyes.
“Little bastard, go to hell!”
He suddenly launched an attack; even though he had been tortured severely, he still exhibited strength at the Unity Heart-Mind Realm level.
“Poof!”
In a single engagement, the battle ended; Zhou Tong’s palm pierced through his heart, his cold expression as if he had done something trivial.
“How could this be?”
The league leader found it hard to believe, his vitality gradually fading, even though his cultivation was clearly a great realm higher than Zhou Tong’s!
“This piece of trash still has some use; let me try this move after a long time.”
Zhou Tong pressed his other hand on the league leader’s forehead, his terrifying spiritual power bursting forth instantly, using the Soul Searching Technique.
“Ah… ah… ah…”
Even on the brink of death, the league leader endured the torture worse than death, ultimately exploding into a pile of fragments.
“Really weak… can’t even withstand this!”
Zhou Tong’s expression was dismissive; despite the short duration, he had still obtained useful information.
Now it was certain that he had indeed encountered Zhao Wutian before.
In a previous life, around this time, an event that shocked the continent occurred.
The Heavenly Dao Mansion held a grand event under the pretense of the Yin-Yang Body, attracting countless strong warriors to attend.
But in reality, it was merely a scheme by Zhao Wutian.
He ultimately activated the sacrificial formation, refining numerous powerful individuals into origin, only strengthening himself.
As a result, the Heavenly Dao Mansion became a target, and soon after was jointly destroyed by various forces, with only Zhao Wutian escaping, disappearing for decades.
When he reappeared, he had become a demon hated by all, with power so strong that few could contend against him.
Unfortunately for him, his luck ran out when he encountered Zhou Tong, who was on the verge of achieving Dao and was severely wounded, before being killed by the Sword Saint, thus ending his fate abruptly.
Reflecting on this, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but smile; he hadn’t expected to confront him so soon in this life, but it didn’t matter, he could kill him as easily now as he did before!
Resolutely, he waved his hand, leveling the shattered secret chamber to the ground, then headed towards the spirit herb room.
There, the Seven-Star Crimson Lotus was planted, which could stabilize the mind; once Mu Ran Ya regained her composure, she would inevitably be moved there.
Standing at the door, Zhou Tong, before entering, put on a serious face.
Inside the room, Mu Ran Ya lay on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, looking guilt-ridden, while the two girls softly comforted her.
At that moment, Zhou Tong suddenly burst through the door, causing quite a disturbance.
As soon as they saw him, all three girls displayed joy, but upon realizing his expression, Mu Ran Ya promptly wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, even hiding her pair of fair, tender, jade-like feet.
“She has already admitted her mistake and reflected on it!”
The two girls stood in front of Zhou Tong, automatically defending Mu Ran Ya.
Zhou Tong ignored them, walking past to the bedside, gazing at the woman playing ostrich.
At this moment, although only her eyes were exposed, Mu Ran Ya portrayed a heart-wrenching scene, so vividly showing her vulnerability that even the hardest-hearted person would find it hard to chastise her.
“They have already been fierce towards me; you cannot be fierce towards me anymore!”
Ultimately, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, sitting down at the bedside.
As soon as he sat down, he was grasped by a cold hand around his wrist.
Mu Ran Ya looked up at him with a pleading expression, as if she had something to say.
However, Zhou Tong had long seen through her intentions, and with a calm expression asked, “You want to go save someone, right?”
