Zhou Wen had tried to infuriate Drought Demon from the beginning not because he was arrogant, nor did he really believe that he could stand above a Calamity-grade creature.
The Immortal Culling Sword was indeed very powerful, but Zhou Wen was too weak. He wasn't able to unleash the full power of the Immortal Culling Sword. It was fine to occasionally strike, but if he failed, he basically didn't have the ability to continue fighting.
The reason why he had wanted to infuriate Drought Demon from the beginning was because of Truth Listener's ability.
During this period of time, Zhou Wen had basically figured out Truth Listener's ability. Just as he had imagined, Truth Listener did have the ability to hear the thoughts of others.
However, this ability wasn't perfect. Under normal circumstances, it couldn't hear the other party's thoughts. Only when the other party's emotions were extremely fluctuating could it be heard.
Drought Demon had never suffered such humiliation before. At that moment, her emotions were extremely volatile. Zhou Wen finally felt the sea of voices around him gradually dissipate. Although Drought Demon didn't say a word, a voice sounded from her.
I want to roast him inch by inch and let him taste all the pain in the world. I'll make him beg for death and regret being born into this world … However, the sword in his hand is a little odd. It can actually injure my body … And I haven't fused with a human's body. I'm suppressed by Earth's laws and can't leave the Fiend Tomb … Drought Demon didn't say a word, but her thoughts betrayed all her thoughts to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was overjoyed when he heard the Drought Demon Goddess's voice. However, his face was calm and composed.
He was still thinking that if his strike failed and Truth Listener couldn't be summoned, it would be difficult for him to fight a Calamity-grade creature. He might even have to flee.
At most, he could take Zhang Yuzhi with him and escape. He only had this much power and could only do so many things.
Now that he knew that Drought Demon couldn't leave the Fiend Tomb and that her strength was suppressed by Earth's laws, preventing her from fully unleashing her strength in battle, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, Since you can't come out and can't use your full strength, and I can hear your thoughts, this matter might still work.
Drought Demon was pondering. That sword is a little strange. It can even slice through my Drought Demon Body. It's indeed quite powerful. However, the strength of that human should not have reached the Calamity Grade. He is only borrowing the power of the sword. I do not need to fight with that sword. As long as I kill that human, the sword will naturally be useless. "
Drought Maiden sized Zhou Wen up and thought, If I don't go out, I might not be able to injure him if I use Heavenly Fire that covers a large area. From the looks of it, I have to expend some of my intrinsic Quintessential Essence and use Annihilation Art to kill that human.
Goddess Drought Ba stared at Zhou Wen as her Essence Energy flowed towards her fingers.
Zhou Wen sensed that Goddess Hanba's voice was slowly weakening. He knew that it had been some time and that her emotions were gradually stabilizing. Therefore, he continued goading her. "Why are you still standing there? I've said it before. If I can't kill you with one strike, I'll spare your life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment cannot be forgiven. Go back to the Fiend Tomb and reflect on your mistakes. As long as I am alive, you will never come out. Go. "
Goddess Hanba was furious. Her emotions that had just calmed down were instantly stirred up by Zhou Wen again.
Goddess Hanba had a bad temper. Otherwise, she would not have been able to fight against two terrifying existences, Count of the Wind and Master of the Rain in the Mythological Era.
However, it was also because of that battle that Goddess Hanba's Essence Energy was greatly damaged. She had no choice but to recuperate in the Earth Fire. Later on, the Ancestral Celestial Master of the Zhang Family took the opportunity to seal her.
"Annihilation Art … Die …" Goddess Hanba was already extremely furious. One of her hands turned invisible and grabbed at the void.
The instant before Goddess Hanba made her move, Zhou Wen's figure drifted to the side. After he moved, the ground where he was originally standing and the rocks that had been burned into crystals suddenly cracked. A cylindrical crystal with a diameter of several meters was forcibly pulled out from the crystal.
The crystal pillar was pulled out a few hundred meters high before it mysteriously disappeared. Only a circular hole that was a few hundred meters deep was left on the ground.
Goddess Hanba was shocked. Her Annihilation Art was unique in the world. It killed people invisibly. When she attacked, the enemy would not be able to detect it at all. When the Annihilation Art reached them, it was already too late to escape.
Back then, Goddess Hanba relied on the Annihilation Art to roam the world. She had killed countless terrifying guardians and creatures of other dimensions. Her name struck terror in people. The name of Hanba was practically synonymous with death.
Even if there were people who could resist it, they were extremely few powerful existences. Almost all of them were invincible experts of their era. However, most of them could only forcefully endure the Annihilation Art.
In Goddess Hanba's memory, she had only met one person who could evade it like Zhou Wen.
"Could it be that this fellow is related to the Empress?" Drought Maiden sized up Zhou Wen in bewilderment.
However, from the Essence Qi fluctuations that Zhou Wen emitted, he was different from the one that Goddess Hanba imagined. Or it could be said that they were two completely different types of energy that could not be related.
"Is it a coincidence?" Goddess Hanba activated the Annihilation Art once again.
The Drought Demon Goddess would never have guessed that Zhou Wen was able to dodge her Annihilation Art. It was because she had already told him the timing and location of the Annihilation Art. All he needed to do was evade it in advance.
If Zhou Wen only relied on his senses, he would not be able to dodge the Annihilation Art.
Goddess Hanba's Annihilation Art was naturally dodged by Zhou Wen again.
"Impossible …" Goddess Hanba was shocked when she saw that Zhou Wen had actually dodged it again.
"I've said it before. If you can survive a strike from me, I'll spare your life. However, if you insist on seeking death, I can't not fulfill your wish." Zhou Wen slowly walked towards Goddess Hanba. As he walked, he said, "If you haven't gone back to reflect on your mistakes by the time I reach the Fiend Tomb, there's no need for you to go back."
Goddess Hanba was shocked and furious. She steeled her heart and struck out with the Annihilation Art again and again.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wen had already heard all of her thoughts. He had even formed an image in his mind, so he knew where her next strike would land.
Therefore, she saw Zhou Wen's figure floating like an immortal. It was as though he was taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. With every step, he dodged Goddess Hanba's Annihilation Art. Goddess Hanba's frenzied attacks did not touch Zhou Wen at all.
Seeing that Zhou Wen had already walked to the front of the Fiend Tomb, Goddess Hanba was extremely shocked. "Does he really have a great divine power? It's just that he's too strong and has hidden it very well. That's why I can't tell … Otherwise, if he could dodge my Annihilation Art so easily … it's as though he can predict the future … "
The way Zhou Wen dodged the Annihilation Art made Goddess Hanba think of the Great Empress. Although their Essence Qi waves were completely different, the way he dodged the Annihilation Art was very similar. Therefore, she was even more shocked and doubtful.
