C227 (1/2)
The thick black clouds gathered in the sky above the tall platform. The bright sun that hung high in this independent space was directly covered. For a moment, the entire open ground appeared exceptionally dark.
As the dark clouds gathered in the sky, the medicinal fragrance on the tall platform had also reached its peak. Even the natural energy around the tall platform was slightly trembling due to this pill fragrance.
As Zhou Tong looked at the flipped pill, a smile involuntarily surfaced on his face. And underneath that joy, there was a hidden gloominess …
The lightning that streaked through the sky, imprinted onto Zhou Tong's pale face, causing him to appear especially weak. Evidently, this distraction had lasted for so many more days, and even Zhou Tong's abnormal Soul cultivation was starting to crumble. In his current state, everyone knew that he no longer had the strength to fight against the lightning tribulation.
”Hey, hide well! I'll help you take this Dan Lei! The first three! ” Seeing Zhou Tong suddenly appear weak, Lin Weiwei hurriedly shouted in alarm. It was not because he cared about Zhou Tong, but because on Zhou Tong's body, there was still Roland Jade Essence stored inside.
After saying that, just as Lin Weiwei was about to use her [Clear Underworld Phoenix] to protect Zhou Tong, he suddenly heard Zhou Tong's panting: ”Rest assured, I will take care of it myself. I will return your ingredients to you!”
Hearing that, Lin Weiwei was startled, but immediately after, her lips parted, and she stood there in a daze. With a wave of her hand, a streak of grayish white light flew out from the sea swallowing gold fire and landed in Lin Weiwei's hands.
”This …” Lin Weiwei was at a loss for words, she didn't know what to say.
”Hurry up and refine your pill. You don't need to worry about your master's matters.” Ling'er spread out her hands and rolled her eyes at Lin Weiwei as if she did not care about it at all. After that, she turned into a ray of light and flew towards Zhou Tong.
”Hehe, Lin Weiwei, of course I know that you can block Dan Lei, if you block this Dan Lei, how would I kill him?” Zhou Tong rolled his eyes, muttering in his heart, he looked at Ling'er, and called out: ”Ling'er, protect the pill in your body, come to my side!”
”Yes sir!”
Ling'er answered crisply, and immediately, she took the pill from the sea swallowing gold fire. With both of her hands, she wrapped the pill into her body, and quickly placed it into the sea swallowing gold fire.
Ling'er was very clear about Zhou Tong's plan. From the very beginning, Zhou Tong's goal was to obtain the sea swallowing gold fire!
Ling'er brought along a medicinal pellet and landed beside Zhou Tong. The rolling thunder clouds in the sky quickly locked onto Ling'er's body. However, as the thunder tribulation descended, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the sea swallowing gold fire!
”Human!” Get out of my body! When the thunder tribulation descends, both you and I will die without a doubt! ”
As if he had felt the thunder tribulation's lock, the sea swallowing gold fire immediately cried out in panic. Let alone the sea swallowing gold fire, even Ling'er would not feel good eating the thunder tribulation head on …
”I'm sorry, but only you will die.” Zhou Tong spread out his palms and laughed.
”AHH!” Even if I die, I will drag you down with me! ”
The sea swallowing gold fire heard Zhou Tong's words and immediately became enraged, its huge body started to scurry around, but it was unable to avoid being locked on by the lightning tribulation. Inside its body, countless of blue flames were being shot towards Zhou Tong like a mad demon, but they immediately were swallowed by Ling'er without any resistance.
The unforeseen events on the stage were also seen by the eyes of everyone present, especially when they saw that Zhou Tong was actually relying on the sea swallowing gold fire to resist the Lightning Calamity. Even Jian Chenzi was stunned, but very quickly, someone with a discerning eye saw through Zhou Tong's intentions.
”He wants to destroy that fire spirit and absorb it for his own use, right? This fellow is truly terrifying …”
”But the Dan Lei formed by the Grade Seven Pills is not child's play. Even if it's the Void Fire Spirit, it would barely be able to resist it.”
Towards Zhou Tong's actions, everyone present were extremely suspicious. However, due to Zhou Tong's shocking performance before, they had all become a lot more obedient, and did not dare to speak anymore carelessly and ridicule him. This was because now, everyone knew that this youth who looked to be much younger than them, in terms of his achievements in the field of alchemy, was far from something they could compare to.
Zhou Tong did not care about the doubtful gazes that surrounded the plaza, and did not have the time to pay attention to them either. This was because the black clouds in the sky, after a period of brewing, had already started to rise, and low and loud thunder rumbled continuously.
Seeing this, Zhou Tong immediately took out a few medicinal pellets and stuffed them into his mouth in succession. Only then did Zhou Tong swallow the medicinal pellet, and in the sky, a thunderous sound suddenly exploded out. A silver lightning that was as thick as a water jar, like a silver python, tore apart the dark clouds, and then smashed down towards the ground with lightning speed!
A cruel smile flashed across Zhou Tong's face the moment the silver lightning was shot out. In a split-second, the silver lightning smashed onto the body of the sea swallowing gold fire with a loud bang.
