Zhou Wen only looked at Lie without saying a word.
He had schemed to kill the Guardian, but the other party still hadn't died. Instead, it had devoured the puppet-like Joseph. This Guardian seemed to be stronger than Zhou Wen had imagined.
Seeing Zhou Wen remain silent, Lie continued, "Don't think that defeating Joseph means defeating me as Lie. In fact, my true strength is far more than what you see. It's just that Joseph can't unleash my true strength. However, you are different. With your ability, you can perfectly unleash my strength. When the time comes, we can defeat many Guardians and become the King of Earth. "
With that said, gray smoke rose from Lie's body and instantly enveloped the entire arena. As for the people in the arena, they realized that they couldn't control their bodies.
Like marionettes, they subconsciously clapped their hands and shouted in unison, "Let's become the King of Earth together …"
Everyone was horrified. Their brains were very clear, but for some reason, their bodies didn't listen to them at all. It was as though they were being controlled by a devil.
"Is this the true strength of a Guardian?" Everyone was alarmed, angry, and afraid.
"How is it? As long as you contract with me, you will have the supreme divine power to control everything. You will become the true King of Earth. " Lie floated in the air and looked down at the entire arena like a god. It was as though the humans in the arena were just ants that he could toy with.
"I'm not interested in a loser," Zhou Wen said.
"If you have any doubts about my strength, you can use all your strength and try again. Let's see if you can injure me." Lie continued arrogantly, "Of course, I'm different from trash like Joseph. You can use any Companion Beast or external force at will. There's no need to worry."
"Is that so? Then I really want to give it a try, "Zhou Wen said calmly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Attack now. Take out your strongest strength and strongest Companion Beast. I'll let you know what a true Guardian is. I'm completely different from that trash, Joseph. This is the true power of a Guardian," Lie said.
"Since you think Joseph is trash, why did you contract him?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Humans are mostly trash. There's no better choice. I can only make do with trash with a suitable physique. However, since there's a human like you, I naturally don't need those useless trash," Lie said.
"Is that so? Then let me see just how strong you are. " As Zhou Wen spoke, he summoned Tyrant Behemoth's glove and punched Lie in midair.
"A gauntlet with absolute strength? Such strength might be useful against other Guardians, but it's useless against me … Bam … "Before Lie could finish his sentence, Zhou Wen punched him in the chest.
However, Lie didn't realize that just as Zhou Wen's glove was about to strike him, a crystalline blue thread appeared in the glove. The blue thread carried a terrifying icy aura as it stabbed into Lie's body.
In an instant, Lie's body froze. Following that, the Absolute Strength Fist blasted the frozen body into ice fragments that filled the sky.
Lie was killed with a single punch. He didn't even manage to use Hypocritical Transaction. The people who were controlled immediately regained their freedom. The fog in the arena dissipated as warm sunlight scattered down, bathing Zhou Wen in the sunlight.
"From the looks of it, you're also trash," Zhou Wen said coldly as he looked at the ice shards that filled the sky.
For some reason, the people who were very concerned about Zhou Wen defeating Joseph felt inexplicably pleased when they heard Zhou Wen's words.
"Too strong … Zhou Wen is really too strong …" Li Benyi was so excited that he was incoherent.
Li Benyu was already dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen such a person do such a thing. He didn't know what to say.
"F * ck him. What's so impressive about a Guardian? He's still trash. He can't even withstand a single punch from Zhou Wen."
"That's right. What trash Guardian? We humans are the strongest."
"How can I become as strong as Zhou Wen? I also want to kill those despicable Guardians. "
…
The thinking of the humans in Frost City seemed to have changed in an extremely short period of time. The belief that the Guardians were invincible was slowly fading.
Although it was impossible for them to completely change because of this matter, at the very least, a seed of restlessness had sprouted in their hearts.
"Sorry, I originally wanted to hand Joseph over to you, but I never expected …" Zhou Wen returned to the lounge and said apologetically to Lance, Sadie, and Gulli.
"This has nothing to do with you, but there's something I hope you can help me with," Lance said.
"What is it?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
"My great-grandfather wants to see you," Lance said seriously.
"I should greet my elders," Zhou Wen said.
"Follow me. This might be a little different from the elders you imagined." Lance only invited Zhou Wen.
Li Xuan, Feng Qiuyan, and Ya 'er could only wait outside. They weren't on the invitation list.
Zhou Wen originally believed that no matter how bad Lance's great-grandfather's personality was, he wouldn't hold it against him on account of Lance and Sadie.
However, when he really saw Lance's great-grandfather, he realized that it wasn't what he had imagined.
Lance brought Zhou Wen to the depths of Frost City. It was a place that looked like an ice cavern that had existed for billions of years. On the ice wall of the ice cavern, there was a human-shaped sculpture.
One could see that the sculpture was a very majestic elder, but there were no signs of artificial carving. It was as though the elder's ice sculpture had grown on the ice wall.
"Great-Grandfather … I brought Zhou Wen here …" When Lance bowed at the ice sculpture, what he said stunned Zhou Wen.
"Hello, Zhou Wen. I'm Frod." The ice sculpture actually spoke. Furthermore, the name he reported left Zhou Wen even more surprised.
"Frod? Could it be that you are one of the six heroes, Frod? "Zhou Wen had learned this name countless times in his textbooks, so he naturally wouldn't forget it.
However, according to what Zhou Wen knew, apart from the old hero of the Dugu family, the old heroes of the other five families should have passed away.
Even if Frod was still alive, it was impossible for him to be an ice sculpture, right?
