Chapter 1973: Counterkill!
Hearing what the bull‑surname Cultivator said, Zhou Yu was even more shocked in his heart.
He hadn’t expected that this bull‑surname Cultivator actually had his eyes on the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
This was simply insane.
Looking at that dense heap of Flying Ants, Zhou Yu couldn’t even imagine—once these ants were alarmed, could those few Array Flags from earlier really block them?
That bull‑surname Cultivator assumed Zhou Yu didn’t understand the Array Path.
But in fact, Zhou Yu did have some understanding of the Array Path.
On top of that, although the Array Flags the bull‑surname Cultivator used were very High Level, at a glance it seemed to be just a simple Killing Array.
Could such a Formation really stop these Flying Ants?
Just then, the bull‑surname Cultivator spoke:
"What? You think I can’t handle this swarm of Flying Ants?"
Que’er couldn’t get a word out, but she shook her head frantically.
Zhou Yu, however, fell silent for a moment, then said:
"I already said it just now."
"Since Senior Niu has made preparations, I imagine there should be no problem."
The bull‑surname Cultivator chuckled.
"Well said!"
"I indeed have prepared thoroughly. Now, I’m only missing the last thing to fully activate this array."
Zhou Yu froze for a moment.
"What thing?"
The bull‑surname Cultivator looked at Zhou Yu and smiled:
"Naturally, a complete and powerful piece of flesh and blood."
"The reason these Flying Ants attack cities is precisely to devour a Cultivator’s flesh and blood."
"For them, that has a fatal attraction."
"And your body is exactly what these Fire-eyed Flying Ants love the most."
"As long as you take this pill, then let those Fire-eyed Flying Ants devour you, they’ll naturally be easily exterminated by me."
"As for the remaining Fire-Eyed Ant King, you don’t need to worry about it."
Hearing this, Que’er was directly dumbfounded.
She stared at the bull‑surname Cultivator in disbelief.
What did he mean by this?
He wanted to use Zhou Yu as bait?
Wouldn’t Zhou Yu be dead for sure?
At this moment, Zhou Yu’s expression also darkened.
He stared coldly at the bull‑surname Cultivator.
"Looks like you’ve been plotting this for quite some time?"
"I wonder, in what way have I offended Senior?"
The bull‑surname Cultivator chuckled and said:
"You haven’t."
"In fact, before you appeared, I had already picked out a decent candidate."
"But compared to you, he falls far too short."
"Your appearance is the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, helping me subdue the Fire-Eyed Ant King."
"Little Brother Zhou, you should feel honored."
On hearing this, Zhou Yu sneered:
"Honored?"
"Since it’s such an honor, why don’t you go be the bait yourself?"
At these words, the smile in the bull‑surname Cultivator’s eyes instantly turned icy.
"What?"
"You’re unwilling?"
"I just spoke kindly to you because I wanted to give you a dignified way to die."
"If you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being rude."
Zhou Yu said coldly:
"Senior Niu, you’d best not do anything dangerous. Turn back now, and I can pretend none of this ever happened."
"If you really make a move on me, do you think the people behind me will let you go?"
"Hahaha..."
The bull‑surname Cultivator burst into loud laughter.
"Boy, no need to struggle on the brink of death and flaunt borrowed authority here."
"You really think I know nothing about you?"
"I may not know where you came from, but after entering the city, the first thing you did was inquire into ancient texts concerning the Heavenly Origin World. You hid it well, but you still couldn’t escape my eyes."
"That behavior alone proves you’re not someone of the Heavenly Origin World."
"In that case, if I make a move, what do I have to worry about?"
"Even if there really is some powerful figure behind you, separated by a realm, what can he do to me?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart trembled. He hadn’t expected that despite being so cautious, he had still been noticed.
What rotten luck.
"Enough, everything that needs to be said has been said."
"You can die now!"
As he spoke, the bull‑surname Cultivator waved his hand directly, and a streak of white light instantly appeared, shooting toward Zhou Yu.
At this moment, the look in the bull‑surname Cultivator’s eyes toward Zhou Yu was filled with killing intent.
In his view, this strike was enough to kill Zhou Yu.
Yet in the next moment, he was stunned.
He saw that, facing the incoming strike, Zhou Yu remained calm, stirred his Blood Qi, and punched straight out.
Bang!
With a dull thud.
The streak of white light was blasted flying on the spot.
The next instant, Zhou Yu’s figure vanished from where he stood.
"Not good!"
The bull‑surname Cultivator’s expression changed drastically. He immediately realized something was wrong and tried to retreat in a hurry.
But just then, a cold killing intent swept toward him from behind.
"Too late!"
As the word fell, the bull‑surname Cultivator sensed a terrifying fist force slam into his back.
In an instant, a terrifying Blood Qi Power like a raging torrent surged into his body.
Pff!
The bull‑surname Cultivator spewed a mouthful of blood and was sent flying sideways.
The blood traced a shocking arc through the air.
Right now, the bull‑surname Cultivator was utterly horrified.
He had never imagined that Zhou Yu, whom he regarded as no more than an ant, would suddenly erupt with such a fierce offensive.
Only now did he realize that Zhou Yu had already recovered his Five Realms Cave Heaven strength.
But it was already too late.
Because before he even landed, Zhou Yu had once more appeared behind him.
A sense of impending death surged into the bull‑surname Cultivator’s heart.
At this moment, he had no strength to defend and could only let out a cry for mercy.
"Don’t—spare me, I can—"
Before the bull‑surname Cultivator finished speaking, Zhou Yu’s punch had already smashed into his chest.
Boom!
With a muffled bang.
The bull‑surname Cultivator’s chest was punched straight through by Zhou Yu, and his heart was blasted to pieces.
Even in death, the bull‑surname Cultivator couldn’t have imagined he would die here like this.
Bang!
His body crashed heavily to the ground.
Dead beyond any doubt.
In less than ten seconds, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator had been killed by Zhou Yu.
Even Zhou Yu himself found it a bit unbelievable.
But it wasn’t hard to understand.
In the bull‑surname Cultivator’s eyes, although Zhou Yu was at the Five Realms Cave Heaven, he was grievously injured—and the bull‑surname Cultivator had personally checked.
He had confirmed that Zhou Yu’s injuries were extremely serious; without three to five months, there was no way he could recover.
So when facing Zhou Yu, he was extremely relaxed, without the slightest guard.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yu suddenly erupted with full strength and struck the bull‑surname Cultivator.
For a Cultivator to be assaulted in close quarters by a Body Refining Master like this—the consequences were obvious.
In the final analysis, the bull‑surname Cultivator ultimately died of carelessness.
After killing the bull‑surname Cultivator with a single punch, Zhou Yu’s first action was to look toward the distant heap of Fire-eyed Flying Ants. Luckily he had already set up a Formation to mask the commotion of their fight.
Seeing that the mound of Fire-eyed Flying Ants showed no abnormality, Zhou Yu then walked up to the bull‑surname Cultivator’s corpse, reached out to his finger, and took off that Storage Ring...
