Ling Sanqiu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
His hand, which had been gently stroking Luo Bailian's crown, suddenly closed up, firmly holding Luo Bailian's head in place.
In that instant, an extremely sharp and piercing blade-like intent shot through his fingertips and swiftly burrowed into Luo Bailian's head like lightning.
The moment that tiny blade of intent pierced his head, Luo Bailian's originally listless face suddenly became incredibly ferocious and distorted, his eyes filled with scarlet blood vessels, as if they were about to burst open.
His face was contorted with bulging veins, his muscles were twitching violently, and he was emitting one shrill, chilling scream after another.
The sound was like the roar of a demon from the depths of hell, echoing all around and instilling fear and chills in people.
But no matter how much Luo Bailian struggled, he was as if he were locked in Ling Sanqiu's palm, unable to break free even a little.
"Nephew, how was your technique, Uncle? It precisely stirred his sea of consciousness and soul, leaving him in a state of neither life nor death. Wasn't that exhilarating?"
Ling Sanqiu turned his gaze to Zhou Xingdou, his tone full of teasing, half mocking and half threatening.
However, Zhou Xingdou was not intimidated by Ling Sanqiu's methods; in fact, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Suddenly, Zhou Xingdou, who was holding the Prison-Suppressing Sword Peak tightly in his hand, instantly revived!
Unexpectedly, the target of the Prison Sword Peak this time was not Ling Sanqiu, but Luo Bailian, who was being tortured and suffering terribly, constantly emitting heart-wrenching screams!
In an instant, a deafening roar was heard, and thunder rumbled from the giant sword, echoing through the sky.
Its speed was as fast as the speed of light, and it rushed unstoppably toward Luo Bailian under Ling Sanqiu's palm.
In the blink of an eye, the massive sword slammed into Luo Bailian.
The power contained in this strike was earth-shattering. The enormous and domineering divine power crashed into Luo Bailian like a surging torrent, instantly shattering his body into pieces!
In an instant, blood mist filled the air, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Ling Sanqiu was only curious about Zhou Xingdou's sudden move, not surprised at all, because in his eyes Zhou Xingdou's movements, which were as fast as light, were as slow as a snail.
The reason he didn't stop him was that he wanted to see what Stephen Chow was up to.
However, Ling Sanqiu never expected that Zhou Xingdou would kill his own subordinate. In Ling Sanqiu's eyes, this was undoubtedly a sign of despair, because he felt that Zhou Xingdou felt he could not save his subordinate and wanted to relieve him of his suffering.
At this moment, Ling Sanqiu's smile widened even more.
But his smile froze the next second, because to his surprise, the action of the Prison Suppressing Sword Peak did not stop. After shattering Luo Bailian's physical body, it unleashed an extremely destructive power that directly annihilated Luo Bailian's soul and everything else!
Stephen Chow's face revealed a mocking expression:
“Uncle-Master, your methods of doing evil are very low-level.”
Using such methods to threaten Zhou Xingdou is, frankly, a bit presumptuous, and Zhou Xingdou would only scoff at it.
His senior brother was still not ruthless enough at heart; his unpredictable and neurotic emotions were just a cover for the fact that he wasn't ruthless enough.
Ling Sanqiu's eyebrows lifted. Even he hadn't expected that Zhou Xingdou would directly annihilate Luo Bailian's divine soul and spirit, leaving Luo Bailian with no chance of reincarnation. Such ruthless methods left even him speechless.
But Ling Sanqiu was not angry; he simply gave Zhou Xingdou a deep look and said:
"You're definitely better suited to be the villain than I am."
At this point, Ling Sanqiu paused, then looked at Jiu Xuan Peak with a half-smile and said:
"You may not care about him, but what about the people on Nine Profound Peak?"
At this moment, Ling Sanqiu's smile grew increasingly cold and chilling:
"They must be very important to you, as well as your senior sister Luo Hanyi, you seem to love her very much."
Furthermore, a new force called the Heavenly Palace of Punishment Thunder has emerged in the Valley, and it seems to be related to you…”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou's originally purple-tinged silver eyes showed only a slight fluctuation, but instead, an endless killing intent surged forth.
He interrupted Ling Sanqiu's words without hesitation, his voice cold and sharp. He retorted:
"Ling Sanqiu, do you know that the Zhou family is unshakeable?"
Zhou Xingdou no longer bothered with formalities and directly called out the other party's real name. The purple aura in his eyes was instantly replaced by dazzling starlight.
He stared intently at Ling Sanqiu, remaining silent, yet the deafening, resounding Dharma voice seemed to emanate from all directions:
"I have no interest in betrayal, but no one can afford the price of my betrayal!"
"Heh, the Zhou family has already left Chuyuan, do you still think you're the former young emperor?"
Ling Sanqiu sneered, staring at Zhou Xingdou with an indifferent expression, as if he were looking at a dying man.
Zhou Xingdou, however, remained cold and fearless, his killing intent reaching its peak as he said:
"You know what? I hate it when people threaten me, especially when they threaten my loved ones!"
Ling Sanqiu smiled dismissively, unconvinced by Zhou Xingdou's words.
His patience was finally worn down by Zhou Xingdou at this moment, and Zhou Xingdou's words clearly expressed his choice: Zhou Xingdou could not be subdued.
Since that's the case, Ling Sanqiu naturally didn't intend to waste any more words:
"Your time is almost up, Stephen Chow!"
Immediately afterwards, Ling Sanqiu turned to face the group of black-armored supreme beings behind him, and his voice rang out coldly and authoritatively:
"Immediately reverse the Nine Heavens Peak Formation and completely open this crack!"
Before the words were finished, the array above Nine Heavens Peak, which was originally filled with black mist, suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
In a mere instant, this mysterious and powerful formation rapidly reversed, with all 120 black-armored supreme beings working together to fully unleash its power.
Within the vast expanse, an extremely eerie and ominous black light erupted from the formation, like a surging dark torrent, rapidly engulfing the entire Nine Heavens Peak. This black light contained boundless ominous power, seemingly intent on devouring all life.
As countless ominous forces poured into the extremely dark and terrifying crack beneath Nine Heavens Peak, the crack began to expand violently, as if countless terrifying figures were surging within, about to burst forth at any moment!
At the same time, Zhou Xingdou retreated at lightning speed, heading back towards the Xingyou Guards and the disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect. As he retreated, he uttered an urgent command that resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Star Spirit, possess me!"
Before the words were finished, the ancient star-shaped phantom that had been quietly guarding the Xuan Tian Dao Sect disciples suddenly trembled violently, accompanied by a series of low buzzing sounds.
Immediately afterwards, the phantom of this ancient star abandoned the disciples of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect without warning and rushed straight toward Zhou Xingdou like a shooting star burning with raging flames.
