Chapter 528: The Tadpole is Tattooed with a Frog
Hearing the Empress’s request, Zhou Tong was momentarily taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Her Majesty the Empress to make such a request; even if her heart truly belonged to him, it was still quite unexpected.
“My Majesty, do you know what this means? Once you are shackled, you will be bound and unable to act freely!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Empress’s face turned even redder.
“The Guest Senior is a good person; he would never bully me…”
“Not necessarily! I just have a question: if we do get shackled, who’s on top and who’s on the bottom?”
“In front of outsiders, I’ll be on top, but privately… I can be below.”
By now, the Empress’s face seemed ready to bleed, her hands covering her pink cheeks as she gently twisted her delicate body, revealing her bashful demeanor to the fullest.
“You…”
Zhou Tong sighed lightly; he wasn’t a block of wood and could certainly see the Empress’s affections.
Throughout this journey, as the supreme of a nation, the Empress had relentlessly pursued him and devoted herself to the Li Family; it was something even a fool could recognize.
Faced with such a charming Empress, even someone with a heart of steel would inevitably feel some warmth, and Zhou Tong was no exception. He could not deny that he harbored feelings for the person in his arms.
However, upon further reflection, he already had Yue’er, Shi Jie, and Master—such extraordinary beauties. If he were to further entice the Empress, it could lead to her suffering, a situation he did not wish to see.
As if sensing Zhou Tong’s thoughts, the Empress pouted and leaned close to his ear, softly saying, “In my heart, there is only the Guest Senior. If I cannot hold your hand in this life, I will regret it for all eternity!”
“And I also want to ask you, Guest Senior, if I were to marry someone else, could you truly… truly disregard it?”
After asking this question, the Empress visibly tensed up. She bit her rosy lip, tightly grasped her skirt with both hands, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her gaze fixed intently on Zhou Tong, fearing he would give a definite answer!
“I do not wish for that!”
Zhou Tong answered without any hesitation, which left the Empress overjoyed.
Under the influence of the Void Self Realm, he could confront his true feelings and express his thoughts without pretense.
“I’m so happy…”
In an instant, the Empress was moved to tears and tightly embraced Zhou Tong.
“What are you waiting for? Bind me with the Red Dust Lock; I will never regret it!”
The Empress requested softly.
“Since that’s the case, then…”
Suddenly, red electric light shone on Zhou Tong’s hand, but just then, a sharp killing intent surged all around.
“Human ants daring to show affection before us, you truly don’t know how to die!”
“Today we’ll be merciful and let you two lovebirds go to Hell together!”
The Demonic Race could not stand being forced to watch the display of affection and, in their anger, forgot the shock Zhou Tong had caused upon his arrival, instantly launching an attack.
“Damn these beasts! Why must they cause trouble at this critical moment!”
The Empress was about to be enraged to death, cursing, “I will gouge your eyes out and use them as fish bait!”
“Hahaha…”
Seeing the Empress’s adorable appearance, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“This might be a bit challenging for you, but I can handle it myself.”
With that, he tossed the Empress to Zhong Ningxue while simultaneously using the Life-Balance Dominion to heal their injuries.
“Quickly leave, I’ll take care of the rest!”
“I understand, Master!”
Zhong Ningxue readily obeyed, forcefully leading the reluctant Empress away, making the surroundings much quieter.
“Are you the Master of the Heavenly Gu Clan’s Virgin Saint?”
Only now did the seven powerful members of the Demonic Race take the time to carefully observe Zhou Tong.
Setting aside the display of power he showed upon his appearance, just the identity alone was enough to instill wariness in them.
Zhong Ningxue’s strength was obvious; having slaughtered a Celestial King at such a young age made them feel a sense of danger.
And this young man before them was her Master, making them hesitant to act rashly.
“I apologize for our earlier laughter; my disciple is truly unremarkable, both in talent and potential, which troubles me greatly.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the others felt as if they’d been struck by lightning and exchanged bewildered glances.
“This does not count as unremarkable? Then what does remarkable look like? How terrifying must this Master be? They couldn’t even bear to think about it!”
“What a charade! I see your realm is average, you talk a lot for someone with little ability. I will personally take action and tear apart your facade!”
One of the slender Demonic race members, who had long been unhappy with Zhou Tong, said angrily.
“Don’t underestimate Mo Lei; humans excel at deception. Be careful not to trip in the gutter.”
“Got it, you all just watch my performance. I will ensure he doesn’t even get a chance to strike!”
With that, Mo Lei vanished from view. In an instant, countless images of him appeared in the void, exuding immense pressure as they enveloped Zhou Tong.
“Extreme speed; he indeed has the capital to be arrogant.”
Zhou Tong remained unfazed and even praised him.
“Foolish human, can you keep up with my speed? I only need to make a slight move, and that’s your limit!”
As the words fell, a streak of killing intent shot out from among the countless figures, sharp as a blade, ready to cleave through one’s soul!
“Truly a piece of trash, even unable to react!”
Mo Lei’s true form solidified, appearing behind Zhou Tong with one leg raised high, ready to stomp down onto Zhou Tong’s head!
“I got him!”
The other Demonic beings also felt relieved; at this rate, Zhou Tong indeed seemed insignificant.
But then, an extraordinary scene unfolded.
It was as if time froze for the Demonic Race, with only Zhou Tong moving at normal speed, leisurely turning around to meet Mo Lei’s astonished gaze.
“With a tadpole tattooed like a frog, are you trying to show off to me?”
He sneered, dodging the incoming leg stomp, while raising his fist to aim for the opponent’s waist.
“Omniverse Illusion Seal!”
“Poof! Poof!”
With two explosive sounds, Mo Lei directly suffered a massive blow, his spirit shattered, and he collapsed in a powerless heap.
Seeing this enticing opening, Zhou Tong naturally did not hold back. With a mighty heave of his arms, he unleashed terrifying power, tearing him apart along the waist, transforming him into two perfectly symmetrical halves!
“Quick! Save him!”
The other six demons took action simultaneously, five of them teaming up to confront Zhou Tong, while one rushed to embrace Mo Lei, emanating a green glow.
Above his head bloomed a flower, from which sweet nectar dripped down onto Mo Lei, restoring his injuries the moment it touched him.
“Hmm?”
This scene caught Zhou Tong’s attention. The energy within him didn’t resemble demonic energy but was instead filled with vitality, distinctly separate from the rest.
“Everyone, this kid is terrifyingly strong; we must use formation attacks to ensure we kill him without fail!”
Mo Lei, now frightened, looked at Zhou Tong with a wary expression.
Upon hearing this, the others recognized Zhou Tong’s danger and nodded in agreement!
In the next moment, the seven lined up in formation, each stepping in different rhythms, forming intricate hand signs.
“Open the formation!”
As their words fell, dark patterns emerged beneath their feet, connecting in a circular formation that encompassed Zhou Tong within it.
“Extermination Formation!”
With a thunderous boom, countless beams of purple light descended from the sky, striking Zhou Tong’s body, creating a massive sense of pressure.
If it weren’t for his unparalleled physique, he might have been crushed long ago.
“Boy, how does it feel?”
Mo Lei jeered, believing that since Zhou Tong was now within the formation, victory was certain, and he would soon regain his face.
“Nothing special, quite unremarkable.”
Zhou Tong shrugged casually, which made the faces of the demons turn sour.
“Still talking tough when death is upon you!”
“What nonsense; whether I’m talking tough or not will be evident once you experience my formation!”
With a clap of his hands, a thunderous sound echoed, disturbing the air, and beneath him, an even larger red ring emerged, completely enveloping the ancestral land of the Heavenly Gu Clan, enclosing all the demons and the formation!
