"Haha … Zhou Yang, do you understand now? There is an insurmountable gap between us. As long as I don't underestimate you, you won't be able to harm a single hair on my head." Luo Ming laughed maniacally. He was definitely going to win this battle.
Zhou Yang flexed his fists. Indeed, the strength of his earlier strike was much weaker than before. But that was only because he didn't release his Magma Titan Astral Soul.
It wasn't that he wanted to be arrogant, but the moment the Magma Giant God Astral Soul appeared, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in the entire city. At that time, the second madam and her family would be on high alert, and since his father had yet to return, this was extremely disadvantageous to him.
Now was not the time to fully display the Magma Giant God Star Soul.
However …
A strange smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face as he thought of this.
"Astral Soul, appear!"
With a low shout, a vortex appeared behind him.
Luo Ming laughed in disdain, "You want to fight against me with that low-grade Astral Soul of yours? You overestimate yourself. Watch me kill you in a single strike."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ming began to accumulate power. He wanted to end the battle with this attack.
Boom!
The stone platform under Luo Ming's feet cracked, and in the next moment, his body shot up, shooting towards Zhou Yang like a cannonball. At the same time, his fist gradually turned black, and in the end, it even turned into black stone.
Astral Soul Fusion!
Although a mid-grade Astral Soul wouldn't be able to fuse as well as a high-grade Astral Soul, it was still possible to fuse them to a small degree. Hence, in the early stages, the difference between mid-grade and high-grade Astral Souls wasn't very obvious.
In the face of this strongest attack, Zhou Yang laughed instead of being shocked. His laughter resounded throughout the Martial Dojo, confusing everyone.
Why was he still smiling at this time?
"Buzz …"
The whirlpool behind Zhou Yang trembled as the fiery-red glow disappeared in an instant. Under the protection of the boundless Astral Souls and Luo Ming's blackstone Astral Soul, it didn't attract the attention of anyone. But in that instant, Zhou Yang's strength suddenly increased explosively. His fingers turned charred black as lava flowed within them.
Bang!
When his fingers touched Luo Ming's fist, the two of them stopped in midair for a moment. After a while, Luo Ming's black stone fist suddenly cracked and turned into charcoal. When the wind blew, it disappeared without a trace.
"Ah …"
A miserable shriek rang out as Luo Ming flew backwards, clutching his hand. He crashed into the array and landed on the ground. Only half of his right hand remained. The other half had long since turned to ash. Cracks had also appeared on his petrified skin.
"This …"
Everyone was terrified. No one knew what was going on, but they were sure of one thing. Zhou Yang had won!
"The Blackstone Astral Soul is merely so-so."
A disdainful voice rang out from the stone platform as Zhou Yang coldly walked towards Luo Ming.
JC27: Impossible, impossible! How could you break through my petrification? You must have borrowed some external force! Elder, he broke the rules! "Luo Ming screamed in pain.
"This is the Platform of Grievances. No matter what external force he borrowed, as long as no third party intervened, it's not against the rules." Elder Iron Mask glanced at Luo Ming.
Luo Ming was startled, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. That's right, this was the Grievance Platform. In a battle of life and death, who cared if it was an external force? "Zhou Yang, I'm already crippled. Let me go and we'll be even." Luo Ming looked at Zhou Yang.
"Even …" Zhou Yang sneered, "If I lose today, will you still be even with me?"
"Yes, of course I will." Luo Ming's face was pale.
"Ridiculous." Zhou Yang walked in front of Luo Ming and grabbed him, retrieving a dagger from his body.
"If you knew, I wouldn't have pierced this dagger into your abdomen back then." Zhou Yang spoke as he threw Luo Ming to the ground. "Originally, I had no enmity with you, but in the Chaotic Burial Mound, you wanted to use Gu Ling to kill me. In the Meteorite Pagoda, I saved your life, yet you repaid my kindness with enmity. While I was trying to save someone, you pushed me into a well."
"When you returned to the academy, you didn't reflect on your actions. Instead, you tried to curry favor with the Ye Clan and spread the news that I committed suicide out of shame. You even colluded with Ding Zhiming to allow my brother to be bullied by others. If I don't kill you, the heavens will not forgive me!"
A cold voice resounded through the entire area. Everyone fell silent. If what Zhou Yang said was true, then anyone would kill him without hesitation.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harmed you. I shouldn't have defiled Cheng Qiaoqing while she was unconscious. I shouldn't have accepted Zhou Zitao's money to ruin your reputation with Ding Zhiming. As long as you let me go, I will immediately prove to everyone that you are innocent." Luo Ming's body trembled. After he finished speaking, he actually knelt down and kowtowed.
"Shameless, despicable. I didn't expect Luo Ming to be such a person."
"So Zhou Yang is really innocent. Then Miss Ye …"
After hearing Luo Ming's words, everyone revealed a look of surprise.
The matter between Zhou Yang and Ye Zhining had already caused a commotion. Everyone thought that Zhou Yang used his identity as a direct descendant to pester Ye Zhining. However, the truth seemed to be different from the rumors.
"A cowardly piece of trash who kneels and begs for mercy. Do you believe his words?"
At this moment, a mocking voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw that the person was dressed in a luxurious robe. There was even a token with the word "Zhou" on his belt.
"It's the fifth young master of the Zhou Clan, one of the three rising stars of the Elite Hall, Zhou Zitao!"
Everyone sighed and made way for him.
"Seventh Brother, you are so impressive today." Zhou Zitao looked at Zhou Yang with a smile that was not a smile.
"Young Master Zhou, save me, save me …"
Before Zhou Yang finished speaking, Luo Ming looked at Zhou Zitao and shouted.
"Everyone, this Luo Ming is a piece of trash who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Today, he is afraid that Zhou Yang will kill him, so he said that I instigated him to do it. If I want to kill him in the future, will he say that Zhou Yang instigated him to do it? Whoever believes the words of such a person is an idiot." Zhou Zitao glanced at Luo Ming and said loudly.
Everyone nodded. No matter what Luo Ming said, he said it under the threat of Zhou Yang's death. He could not be trusted.
"Zhou Zitao, I will kill you."
The angry Luo Ming pulled out his long sword and was about to rush off the stage. However, when he passed by Zhou Yang, he suddenly turned around and stabbed at Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang did not even look. He turned his hand and spun the dagger. In the next moment, a cold light flashed and blood splattered.
Luo Ming, dead!
The sun was setting and the sky was starting to get dark. However, no one had the intention to leave.
Two outstanding Beginner Hall students died in a row. Today's matter was destined to be recorded in the history of the academy.
After a long time, Zhou Zitao suddenly smiled.
"Seventh Brother, we have been in the limelight. Let's deal with our family affairs at home."
"Family affairs …" Zhou Yang also smiled. "When you were publicizing that I was pestering Ye Zhining, why didn't you say it was family affairs? Now you are telling me to deal with family affairs at home. Let me ask you, are we a family?"
Are we a family?
Zhou Zitao's expression changed. Zhou Yang's tone was terrifyingly cold. That's right. Whether it was in his eyes or in Zhou Yang's heart, they were no longer a family. His mother was the third wife of the General's residence. Ye Zhining was his cousin. Under the circumstances that he was destined to be unable to become the successor of the General's residence, the prosperity of his mother's family determined his future.
