"My heavens, then you must help me." Upon learning that Zhou Hong also possessed World Power, Long Yu abandoned any thought of escape. If Zhou Hong had World Power, they could join forces and surely deal with their pursuers.
"Sure thing." Zhou Hong was also eager to try. He felt that Long Yu was no ordinary talent. He possessed World Power himself, and to find that Long Yu did too, it felt like Long Yu was a protagonist from the Immortal Realm.
Zhou Hong turned to Lang Qi Hua and said, "You should retreat first. Wait for me at the exit of the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range."
"Alright." Lang Qi Hua immediately turned and ran, not wanting to risk danger here.
"Brother Zhou Hong, to be honest, how much Star Power do you have?" Long Yu asked with a grin.
"Three. And you?" Zhou Hong didn't hide anything and answered truthfully.
"No way, that much? You're too terrifying. Unfortunately, I only have one Star Power so far."
"Heh heh, one is still good. It can crush all enemies of the same level. No wonder you dared to kill your superior."
"You're wrong. I didn't kill my superior with World Power, but because I possess a Grade Four Immortal Artifact." Long Yu then instantly produced something that looked like a crystal ball, about the size of a basketball, with streaks of blue lightning flashing within it.
"What is this?" Zhou Hong quickly asked.
"This is a mental attack Immortal Artifact. Even Immortal Kings below Grade Five would find it hard to resist. Zhou Hong, when my enemies come up, I will use a mental attack on them. Then, you, at your fastest speed, will use your World Power to harvest their heads. If I were alone, I couldn't use World Power simultaneously."
"Okay."
Not long after, the pursuers indeed arrived. Zhou Hong counted them; there were over a hundred of them, all at the level of Immortal Master or above, with seven or eight Immortal Kings. The strongest Immortal King had reached Grade Five.
Zhou Hong was shocked. Long Yu was truly formidable to be pursued by such a powerful force. Fortunately, he had met Long Yu today; otherwise, Zhou Hong would have been worried about him.
The next moment, over a hundred people surrounded Zhou Hong and Long Yu, from the sky to the ground, with no gaps.
"Long Yu, let's see where you can escape to." The leading Grade Five Immortal King roared. He held a whip in his hand, which flashed like lightning around him in an irregular pattern, making the air crackle.
"Hahaha, Commander Yang, to capture me, you've sent so many people, and all of them are Captains above Immortal Master. Don't forget, I'm just a Grade Two Immortal Master. Aren't you giving me too much credit?" Long Yu couldn't help but sneer.
Zhou Hong stood by, saying nothing, and was ready to act at any moment. To be honest, Zhou Hong was a little worried. If Long Yu's mental attack Immortal Artifact didn't work, being surrounded by so many powerhouses, Zhou Hong didn't know how they would escape.
"Who is this person beside you?" At this moment, everyone looked at Zhou Hong, appearing puzzled about the sudden appearance of another person.
"Brother Zhou Hong, say hello." Long Yu glanced at Zhou Hong and said.
"Haha, greetings to all friends in the Immortal Realm. I am a demon cultivator. Oh, you must be wondering how Long Yu, an immortal cultivator, knows me, a demon cultivator. Actually, we both ascended from the lower realm. We ascended on the same day. He went to the Immortal Realm, and I went to the Demon Realm. I didn't expect to meet here today, nor did I expect him to be pursued by you."
"Enough nonsense. Since we are so fated, you will both die today." The leading Grade Five Immortal King didn't seem to be in the mood to banter with the two of them.
"Brother Zhou Hong, please." Long Yu immediately transmitted his voice to Zhou Hong, entrusting his life to him. If Zhou Hong couldn't eliminate everyone the moment he activated his mental attack Immortal Artifact, then they would surely die today.
"No problem." Zhou Hong nodded.
"Capture them!" The Grade Five Immortal King gave the order, and all the powerhouses from all directions took out their weapons and charged towards the two of them.
"Three, two, one!" As Long Yu counted to one, the crystal ball in his hand erupted with blue light, like a small blue sun. Instantly, within a kilometer radius, almost all colors turned blue.
Zhou Hong also felt a moment of disorientation, but he quickly regained his senses. However, the pursuers were not so lucky; their eyes became glazed over.
Zhou Hong did not hesitate and used his World Power to harvest heads to his heart's content.
Meanwhile, Long Yu, having unleashed such a powerful mental attack Immortal Artifact, looked pale and unsteady. No wonder he said he couldn't do it alone; it seemed that using this Grade Four Immortal Artifact consumed too much energy for his cultivation level.
With Zhou Hong's Star Power, the pursuers were almost decapitated in the blink of an eye.
In just half a breath, heads fell to the ground like rain.
At the same moment, as these heads' spirits attempted to escape, spirits were essentially nascent souls, which became true spirits for cultivators.
"Trying to escape? No way." Zhou Hong released his Demon Subduing Pestle and strung up all the spirits one by one. In almost an instant, over a hundred spirits were strung together like prayer beads by the Demon Subduing Pestle.
"Haha, with these spirits, my Demon Subduing Pestle... might be able to upgrade." Zhou Hong muttered to himself. It seemed his help to Long Yu was not without benefit. The Demon Subduing Pestle had harvested so many spirits at once, far stronger than ordinary beings.
"Zhou Hong, how are you?" After a while, the colors of the world returned, and Long Yu also recovered his spirits. Su Dan Novel Network
"Don't worry, they're all dead."
Long Yu looked at the string of beads on Zhou Hong's body and was a little surprised. He had initially thought that Zhou Hong could at most kill these people, and their spirits would escape.
However, he didn't expect that none of their spirits escaped; they were all caught and strung up like beads by Zhou Hong. One must know, these were true spirits, especially those of Immortal Kings, whose spirits, even in their weakened state, were not to be underestimated.
"Zhou Hong, you actually captured their spirits? How did you do it?"
"Heh heh, I used my demonic artifact, the Demon Subduing Pestle, to string them up like beads. This demonic artifact is currently only Grade Three. It was originally refined from countless beings. Spirits like these should be to its liking. I am now nourishing the Demon Subduing Pestle with these spirits, and I believe it has a chance to upgrade to Grade Four. Brother Long Yu, thank you. Otherwise, how could I have obtained so many spirits, and even spirits of Immortal Kings?" Zhou Hong said with a laugh. If his Demon Subduing Pestle upgraded to Grade Four, then a single stab from Zhou Hong could probably kill a Grade Two or Three Immortal King directly.
