"I'm sorry, you didn't kill us, which gave us a chance to prepare. Now your most important person will become our hostage. It depends on how you deal with it!"
The powerful man from the Star-Swallowing Clan laughed and said that despite his disability, he was determined and felt proud.
"What?"
Hearing this, Zhong Ningxue frowned and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"You are alarmist. I have never heard of such a method before."
"Haha... that shows that you are ignorant. This is the innate magical power of my clan's top class. It has already involved cause and effect."
"In the previous battle, we have collected enough of your aura. Once this move is used, we can automatically follow the clues and trace the thread of fate to find the person who is most important to you and capture him or her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and a strong aura burst out from the cauldron, mixed with extremely rich laws, which made Zhong Ningxue's face change.
This doesn't seem like a joke. Such a violent surge of energy has already exceeded the range of the peak saint. If it is just for show, the cost would be too great!
"not good!!"
With this thought in her mind, her whole body tensed up. The person closest to her in the Northern Continent was none other than Her Majesty the Queen.
"Haha... Look, big brother, this girl's face has changed. It seems that she is finally scared. I really want to see what kind of person can make this woman so worried!"
"Hmph... a useless move!"
After a moment, Zhong Ningxue let out another long breath. The Queen was not someone to be trifled with. Ever since the Heavenly Dao blockade was opened, Qian Miaoyu, as the king of the human race, had gained more merit and power, and stepped into the peak realm of Saint in one fell swoop!
Coupled with his supreme physique of dragon marrow and phoenix body, he is not afraid of these two people at all!
"I know what you are thinking. The people close to you must also be strong, but you definitely don't know the terrifying power of this furnace!"
One of them seemed to see through Zhong Ningxue's thoughts. He gently tapped the stove, and suddenly purple-red flames burst out from it.
Feeling the scorching heat, Zhong Ningxue couldn't help but pause.
From the flame, she felt the power that could suppress cultivation, which was specifically used to deal with strong beings.
In normal fierce battles, it is difficult to trap people in this furnace, but the opponent has used the method of capturing the cause and effect rate, and I am afraid that he can directly seal people in the furnace. This is bad!
“Stop it!”
Without any hesitation, Zhong Ningxue made her move directly. Her whole body was shining with golden light. A vertical eye opened between her eyebrows. She just blinked it slightly, and a sharp light shot out!
"Stop it!"
This terrifying mental power made the two people on the opposite sides feel terrified. Even though they tried their best to resist, their defenses were still penetrated, causing violent turmoil in their minds!
“Aaaaah!!”
They screamed and vomited blood, but they gritted their teeth and stood up, their eyes filled with resentment!
"You bitch, since you didn't kill us, be prepared to pay the price!"
In an instant, the two people's auras were connected, and they worked together to ignite the furnace, unleashing an extremely manic aura.
Then, in the blazing purple-red flames, a figure suddenly emerged, revealing a vague outline.
"Here we go, here we go, show yourself, our hostages!!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhong Ningxue immediately felt an extremely familiar breath. She was right, this person was really related to her and the other party was not lying.
“Master’s Wife!!”
She shouted, unable to help but feel shaken, her vision went dark. If something happened to the Queen in front of her, and if her master came back, how would she explain?
In an instant, a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She was ready to burn her potential with all her might and burst out with even more powerful strength. She would not let any accident happen no matter what!
“Hahaha… Looks like you’re trying your best, but it’s too late now!”
It happened so quickly, in less than a hundredth of a breath, the figure in the stove solidified, and in an instant, Zhong Ningxue was struck by lightning!
“Huh!!!”
A violent sound came from her throat and her expression became extremely pale, as if she had seen a ghost!
“This this this…”
For a moment, her words were incoherent and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, as if the scene in her nightmare had become reality!
"Hahaha... Boss, look, she's so scared that she's about to turn into a sick chicken. It seems like this person is really important to her. Let me take a look!"
One of the powerful Star-Swallowing Clan members looked into the furnace and saw a young man sitting cross-legged in the flames with a calm and indifferent look.
"Not good, this kid doesn't have the aura of a chain repairer. Quickly lower the power, don't let him be directly refined to death. A dead hostage will have no value at all."
“Okay!!”
Seeing this scene, Zhong Ningxue couldn't help but twitch her lips. She really wanted to complain that these two people were completely wasting their time.
If they knew the inside story, they should have run away now. Of course, that would be useless. If they captured this person, their fate would be doomed, or rather... the fate of the three tribes would also be doomed!
"Could it be fake... Wasn't Master banished to another dimension by Heaven? When did he come back? Or is the opponent's move really so powerful that it can directly capture people from another dimension!"
After being shocked, Zhong Ningxue began to think. After all, the scene before her was too outrageous and gave her an extremely unreal feeling.
"I want to ask, is your causal rate really accurate? Are you sure that the person in the furnace is me?"
“Hehe… You still don’t dare to admit the truth even at this point? It seems that the chief law enforcer of the human race is nothing more than this, and he is actually a coward!”
The two of them cast contemptuous looks at her, which made Zhong Ningxue feel relieved.
"That makes me feel relieved!"
"Relax? Haha... I think your brain is burnt out. You should be worried. The person in here is your most important person and your most fatal weakness. I order you to surrender immediately, otherwise we will refine him to death!"
The other party threatened, looking down at Zhong Ningxue with disdain, thinking that he had completely controlled her.
"Maybe it's because of the different customs between our races. Normally we don't call this kind of thing a weakness!"
Zhong Ningxue couldn't help laughing. It seemed as if the other party had told her a huge joke, but this joke was full of horror.
"What are you laughing at? Be serious, or I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
"I just laughed. What can you do to me? If you have the guts, just refine him to death!"
"Um?!"
For a moment, the two looked at each other, somewhat confused.
They were sure that the panic and worry on Zhong Ningxue's face when the secret technique was activated just now were not fake. Why did she change her attitude now, as if she didn't care at all?
Is this young man really her important person? He doesn't look like that. As the saying goes, caring too much can lead to confusion. I don't see any caring expression on her face!
“I understand!!”
The older Star-Eating Clan member slapped his head, as if he had suddenly realized something.
"She must be pretending. She's acting so nonchalant and unconcerned, just to make us misjudge this person's value, so that we can become careless and let the hostage go!"
"That makes sense. As expected of the boss, she saw through the other party's intentions at a glance. She even dared to play a battle of wits with us. She is too naive!"
For a moment, the two became more confident and looked at Zhong Ningxue with mocking eyes.
"I'll give you one last chance. Enter the furnace voluntarily. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. You will lose the most important person to you forever!"
"Go ahead, I don't want it anymore!"
"You still dare to be so stubborn. If I'm not mistaken, this is your lover. Do you really want to see him disappear into ashes?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhong Ningxue took a deep breath and her whole body shook like a sieve. These words could kill people!
"Humph, she is really scared. Let's put some pressure on her, otherwise she will never know how powerful we are!"
The two looked at each other, hit it off immediately, and the temperature in the furnace rose instantly.
"How is it? How does it taste... Is it very uncomfortable? It's all this woman's fault. It's because of her lack of cooperation that you have to taste such bitterness!"
They observed Zhou Tong with great interest, wanting to see an expression of pain, despair, anger and resentment on his face, so as to force Zhong Ningxue to commit the crime, but their idea was dashed.
"This flame is great... It actually has the effect of corrosion and erosion, and can also suppress cultivation and spirit. It's really good!"
Zhou Tong nodded and seemed very satisfied.
As soon as these words were spoken, the two men's faces trembled.
Who asked you to evaluate?
"Still pretending! Let's see how long you can hold it in. Increase the force!"
"Okay!"
In the blink of an eye, the purple flames became several times more violent!
How does this feel?
"It's comfortable and warm. I'm almost falling asleep!"
"Damn it, turn up the heat!"
"Yes, yes, yes... This is more comfortable. You guys have a great sense of service. I will order you guys next time!"
Zhou Tong turned over and felt extremely comfortable!
"Even if it gets bigger, damn... I still can't cure you!"
For a moment, terrifyingly high temperatures emerged, burning and distorting the space, but Zhou Tong did not move at all in the furnace, and even his clothes showed no signs of being burnt.
“Damn it, does he have a magical weapon that can ward off fire? Increase the force!”
"Boss, don't add any more. With the intensity now, even if we go in, we'll be doomed. We can't let anything happen to the hostages!"
"What are you afraid of? Wait until he begs for mercy!"
Immediately afterwards, the flame in the furnace underwent a qualitative change, becoming as thick as paste, with every drop containing terrifying destructive power.
These are undoubtedly the origin of fire.
"Finally, we've waited a long time, now we can start eating!"
Zhou Tong licked his lips lightly and slowly opened his eyes!
