"So that’s how it is." Xiao Zheng instantly understood, and also felt that it was quite normal. The Netherworld King was inherently a blend of good and evil, and leaving behind a single fang that evolved into an evil will was also reasonable.
However, this notion made Xiao Zheng’s eyes light up slightly. He thought of sothing: since the fang had spawned a certain will, it should belong to the realm of the spiritual. If he used techniques from the Sealing God Record to attack, would it have an effect?
"What’s with all this talk of evil?" the fang laughed loudly. "You all are too naïve. Once you reach the true heights, you’ll find that notions of good and evil, of principles and rules, are aningless under absolute power. In this world, there is only power; no good, no evil."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng uttered just two words in response, "Ignorant!"
The fang fud, "How dare you call ignorant?!"
Xiao Zheng replied coldly, "The strong prey on the weak, valuing only power—how is that different from beasts? As intelligent creatures, you not only fail to seek higher realms but aim to be level with beasts. ’Ignorant’ is too light a term; ’beast’ fits better."
"Ah..."
The fang was incredibly enraged, trembling violently. But for the mont, it couldn’t find words to retort. It couldn’t help but let out an angry wail, shouting fiercely, "I’ll kill you!" Boom! A terrifying aura erupted.
In that instant, from the fang surged an incomparably sharp, terrifying, and vast aura. Under this presence, both Xiao Zheng and the young girl in red felt intense fear.
"This is..." The girl in red turned pale, losing composure for the first ti, and whispered in disbelief, "This is the Netherworld King’s power! This will has drawn out the Netherworld King’s force within the fang. We’re dood!"
Even as a Peak Martial Saint, confronting the Netherworld King’s power left no ans to resist, especially when the girl in red had just exhausted herself, consuming greatly, and was now far from her peak state.
Though Xiao Zheng possessed strength comparable to a Peak Martial Saint, he was only as powerful as about the eighth rank of a Peak Martial Saint, vastly different from the girl in red who stood truly at the pinnacle.
Boom!
The power grew more overwhelming.
The girl in red gritted her teeth, eyes flashing with determination, and with a flap of her wings, appeared in front of Xiao Zheng, shouting lowly, "You go first, I will hold it off!"
Xiao Zheng was taken aback, then resolute, "Impossible, I won’t flee alone." Saying this, Xiao Zheng’s heart trembled slightly, having not expected that the girl in red would willingly cover his retreat.
Though the girl in red had consud greatly, she was still stronger than him at this stage. Choosing to flee clearly offered her a much greater chance of survival. But the girl in red completely abandoned this opportunity to cover his retreat!
"Hurry up, stop dawdling!" The girl in red anxiously shouted. At this mont, the fluctuations grew more overwhelming, liable to strike at any mont. Ti was incredibly precious here.
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, saying, "How could I let a woman cover my retreat?!" With that, he sowhat domineeringly pulled the girl in red to his back, shielding her with his body.
For the mont, the girl in red was stupefied, Xiao Zheng’s actions too unexpected, and she had no defenses against him. So, without resistance, she was drawn in.
In that instant, the girl in red couldn’t help but look at Xiao Zheng’s back. Though his shoulders weren’t particularly broad, even appearing a bit thin, at this mont, they seed like a towering mountain shielding her!
"The feeling of being protected..."
The girl in red’s gaze softened instantly.
Yet, this was fleeting. Her eyes quickly beca determined, intending to pull Xiao Zheng away.
However, at that mont, Xiao Zheng lowly shouted, "Don’t move, I have a way to deal with it!"
The girl in red was deeply surprised, "Really?" She felt that Xiao Zheng was lying, knowing full well that the fang contained the Netherworld King’s power. How could he possibly deal with it? This guy was weaker than herself.
"Woman, stay quietly at the back." Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, then looked at the fang with eyes turning cold.
"Seven-story Pagoda!"
"Three-foot Wisdom Sword!"
Accompanied by an intangible ripple, Xiao Zheng’s spiritual power surged madly outward, morphing into a seven-story pagoda that exuded a suppressive force.
The will within the fang had already been continuously stirring the Netherworld King’s power hidden within, about to erupt the next mont. But at that instant, a formless suppressive force bore down, causing the fang’s will to stumble, feeling extrely uncomfortable, as if suffocating. Even the Netherworld King’s power stirred was influenced, undulating fiercely and appearing sowhat chaotic.
"It’s effective indeed!"
Xiao Zheng rejoiced at this sight.
The girl in red widened her eyes.
"Destroy!"
At this mont, Xiao Zheng shouted lowly, the Seven-story Pagoda suppressing from above and the Three-foot Wisdom Sword flying out sharply but invisibly, penetrating the fang and striking the core will.
"Ah!"
Imdiately, a heartrending scream echoed across the world.
The fang trembled violently, and the Netherworld King’s power—vast and surging—beca extrely chaotic, exploding waves on the spot. As for the power not yet drawn from the fang, it having burrowed back down.
"Ah!"
Amidst the screams, the fang rolled violently in mid-air, crashing into the ground or hitting trees, making the area resound loudly.
"You... what have you done!"
The fang’s will roared.
Though it was a roar, the voice carried extre weakness.
The girl in red’s eyes also revealed surprise. She hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng to truly severely wound the fang’s will, and hadn’t seen him take action, only sensing a strange ripple.
"What was that..." The girl in red murmured curiously, then a sudden flash passed through her mind. She widened her eyes suddenly, "That... that was spiritual power!"
At this mont, the girl in red’s eyes surged with intense shock. Spiritual power manifesting physically to attack the enemy was a ans above the rank of Martial Saint!
Boom!
At that mont, the fang’s will suddenly let out a screeching howl, and then there was no more life, it was dead silent.
Crash!
The fang fell, turning into an ordinary tooth.
