The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 397 - 344: Zhong Ming’s Gift

The scene before their eyes happened too suddenly.

Zhong Ming’s unexpected movement left Li Chunsong with no time to react!

The development of the situation was quite bizarre.

There were so many restrictions set up here, with numerous arrays inscribed.

The iron rings on Zhong Ming’s limbs also imposed heavy restraints on him.

In the past, he would occasionally go berserk, causing the power within him to go completely wild.

Even in such situations, he could be stably suppressed.

But now?

In just an instant, everything set up around him was forcibly broken through!

By the time Li Chunsong, still engrossed in eating, realized something was amiss, Chu Huaixu’s neck was already being tightly grasped by the fifth master ancestor!

The Daoist Six Elders immediately opened his mouth wide, dropping half a piece of Victory Cake to the ground.

Before the cake even hit the ground, his figure flashed beside Zhong Ming, reaching out to reclaim Chu Huaixu.

However, Zhong Ming’s other hand swung fiercely, sending Li Chunsong flying, crashing hard against the wall, causing dark golden restrictions to appear on it.

Chu Huaixu felt it was somewhat difficult to breathe at this moment.

He watched helplessly as Zhong Ming’s features grew more distorted and fierce.

There was also endless struggle in Zhong Ming’s eyes.

Chu Huaixu was not the type to wait helplessly for doom.

Even if the opponent was a supreme expert of the Ninth Realm, he would... put up a desperate struggle!

Of course, if necessary, he would use the Absolute Defense from the Celestial Level Treasure Chest.

Unfortunately, it was a one-time use item, and just thinking about it made him feel a twinge of pain in his heart.

However, just as he began to struggle, a hint of surprise appeared on Zhong Ming’s face.

Zhong Ming neither dodged nor evaded any of Chu Huaixu’s attack methods, making it impossible to harm him in the slightest.

The shifting expressions in his gaze began to scrutinize Chu Huaixu, whose neck he was clutching.

Until he saw the token hanging at this young man’s waist.

A token of a True Daoist Disciple and two Profound Yellow Leader Orders.

Upon seeing them, the turbid eyes, filled with endless struggle, cleared for a moment!

Then, he raised his left hand, pressing firmly on Chu Huaixu’s chest.

The next moment, he heard a system prompt sound.

"[Ding! An unknown power is entering your body!]"

"[Attention! An unknown power is invading!]"

"[Attention!]"

Chu Huaixu could no longer hear the subsequent system prompts clearly.

Because soon his entire body went numb, his Sea of Consciousness trembled and he directly fainted.

Zhong Ming continued holding him, turning his head to look at Li Chunsong, who was slumped in the corner.

Then, he tossed the unconscious Chu Huaixu over.

Li Chunsong, injured with a single palm strike, seemed like a useless waste in front of Zhong Ming.

He hurriedly caught Chu Huaixu and used the last of his strength to run away.

The commotion in the courtyard naturally attracted the immediate attention of Jiang Zhi and others.

These high-ranking members of the Daoist Sect flew in unison, landing outside the courtyard.

At just that moment, the injured Li Chunsong ran out with the unconscious Chu Huaixu, and Xiang Yan immediately stepped forward to inquire.

"Sixth Junior Brother, what’s going on?"

Before Li Chunsong could reply, a loud noise came from inside the house, shaking the entire Junzi Temple!

"Not good! The restriction is about to be breached!" Jiang Zhi left with these words and rushed into the house.

Xiang Yan looked solemn and quickly followed.

"Second Junior Brother, come with me!" he called out to Tai Tingbai.

"Junior Brothers and Sisters, please don’t come in."

"Sixth Junior Brother, take Chu Huaixu back first." The Sect Leader immediately made arrangements.

Zhong Ming was going berserk inside, and those in the Seventh Realm had no chance of winning, only becoming a burden.

Chu Yinyin and others looked anxious but helpless.

When Jiang Zhi entered the room, he saw Zhong Ming’s white hair wildly dancing in the air.

His expression was filled with endless struggle and pain, his aura extremely chaotic, radiating a tumultuous force from within!

After a while, Zhong Ming pressed his hands on his temples, letting out waves of roars.

"Fifth Senior Brother!" Jiang Zhi approached with concern on his face.

Xiang Yan and Tai Tingbai stood behind him, their expressions very serious.

To their surprise, Zhong Ming, who was usually either insane or dumbfounded, actually spoke at this moment.

Although his words were disjointed and somewhat unclear, it was still a coherent and sober sentence!

"Don’t... come... near!"

"For... for me... maintain... my presence..."

In an instant, Jiang Zhi’s eyes widened, his pupils trembling violently!

His left hand’s fingers began to tremble lightly, occasionally twitching.

Xiang Yan and Tai Tingbai exchanged a glance, showing shock on their faces!

Everyone thought Zhong Ming’s condition had suddenly worsened.

But from this, it seemed he was... improving?

However, based on the current situation, it couldn’t be confirmed 100%.

Zhong Ming’s expression constantly changed, and his aura became increasingly disordered.

He continuously exerted his power outward, as if venting.

The restrictions here became the perfect outlet.

Jiang Zhi quickly made a decision.

"Reinforce the restrictions!" he instructed Xiang Yan and Tai Tingbai.

The three Great Cultivators of the Eighth Realm thus cast spells within the room, continuously fortifying the arrays and restrictions.
