Chapter 2984: Chapter 1555: Northern Region Demi-Saint Taizai Ci, Seizing Ancestral Godhood Food from the Jaws of Death
Whoosh!
Atop a collapsed and broken mountain, a streak of light flashed across the sky, catching the attention of saints from all around.
The eleven surrounding saints—some standing on branches, some resting in the shade, some leaning against the void—each looked leisurely and comfortable.
Upon seeing the newcomer land, many demi-saints looked over with one jokingly asking,
“Is that Kong Tong?”
“Kong Tong, indeed extraordinary, stepped out for a day and came back with a red cap.”
This referred to Kong Tong, one of the Twelve Holy Lords of the Northern Region, who once fell into a spatial storm during a trip and ended up on the Inner Island of the Abyss Island.
In reality, this was just a planar projection, a kind of accident that travelers in spatial fragments might occasionally encounter.
As long as one endured the instantaneous spatial dislocation, one could return to the original place unscathed.
Unfortunately, when Kong Tong was projected there, he happened to wake a slumbering black giant dragon.
He was lucky enough to survive, but his legs were bitten off.
Since then, this had become the biggest joke among the Twelve Holy Lords.
Though it was a jest, it truly was a testament to Kong Tong’s strength and exceptional ability to escape death.
After all, it was later confirmed that the giant dragon was the leader of Black Vein on the Inner Island of the Abyss Island—Demonic Emperor Black Dragon, a Holy Emperor!
“Not all demi-saints can escape from the mouth of Demonic Emperor Black Dragon!” Kong Tong had argued this point energetically.
But to no avail.
His words, through the banter of his mocking friends, subtly turned into:
“Not all demi-saints are called Kong Tong.”
Seemingly praise,
but also seemingly scorn.
Back to the present…
Kong Tong would at least glare back when teased before,
but this time, he didn’t even offer a deadly glance, his expression incredibly solemn as he knelt on one knee upon landing.
The surrounding demi-saints were puzzled and began to whisper among themselves:
“What’s he playing at? It must be that Kong Tong has received a message from Xu Xiaoshou, right? I bet Xu Xiaoshou could hold out under his men for a quarter-hour!”
“I think otherwise; look at Kong Tong’s expression. Maybe Xu Xiaoshou survived the first wave of assassinations and, furthermore, killed one?”
“Kong Tong’s subordinate, Hexagram Saint, is not unjustly famed, and Xu Xiaoshou might well have dropped dead unexpectedly.”
“Some of you are surely underestimating Xu Xiaoshou. I bet he could counter-kill, six of them!”
“Then my judgment is, you’re also underestimating the demi-saint assassins too much.”
“…”
Kong Tong felt it a waste even to glance at the people around him, with their incessant nonsensical chatter that had besieged him for over a hundred years.
He bowed his head, respectfully addressing the giant black shadow on the ground:
“Reporting to Taizai, the Hexagram Saint has fallen!”
The moment these words were spoken, the surrounding area fell silent for a beat, then was filled with an uproar.
“Kong Tong, are you playing around again?”
“Taizai, Snake Lady, and Shadow Saint are all here. How dare you show disrespect. Apologize at once!”
“I suspect this fellow probably took credit for a covert attack during this battle and has come to claim his reward?”
“In my view—ah, Snake Lady!”
“Respectful greetings to Snake Lady!”
“Greetings to Shadow Saint, to Snake Lady, and to Taizai!”
The noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down, leaving only a series of exceedingly respectful greetings.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Along with the tremor of footsteps from the broken mountain, the giant shadow on the ground began to stir.
Kong Tong kept his head down, feeling the weight on his shoulders grow heavier.
“Swoosh…”
A fragrant breeze blew, sending a piece of red silk fluttering before him.
A shapely long leg, pale and lustrous, emerged, pressing against one’s sanity.
The crystal-clear naked foot hooked forward, seemingly targeting Kong Tong’s chin but stopped halfway, as the soft toes curled back.
“Lift your head.”
A seductive voice came, like goose feathers tickling one’s feet, inducing an irresistible itch.
“Gurgle.”
Kong Tong swallowed hard, raising his head to look.
Over the translucent red silk veiling the seductive shape, he dared not linger his gaze, quickly moving from the snow-white thigh, jumping past the slender waist one could encompass with a hand, to settle finally on the delicate, alluring face of an egged-shaped beauty.
“Respectful greetings to Snake Lady!”
He stated with utmost respect, careful not to show the slightest irreverence.
In the demi-saint circles of the Northern and Central Region, outside of the Holy Divine Palace, the Snake Lady held a pivotal status, ranking even higher than the Twelve Holy Lords.
She was a formidable fighter.
She was born a demi-saint of the Northern Region, but she could freely enter the Central Region and Northern Region.
Moreover…
The Snake Lady was the woman of Taizai Ci!
“What did you just say, that all six of your demi-saint assassins are dead?” The beauty in the red silk asked with a smile and a lingering gaze.
Kong Tong nodded solemnly:
“Yes, I am not joking.”
“Xu Xiaoshou dispatched Hexagram Saint in just a moment; his combat strength, I’m afraid, is unstoppable even if all twelve Holy Lords joined forces against him.”
“This battle, only the esteemed Taizai will suffice to take action!”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding saints murmured amongst each other.
In just a moment?
What was this term?
Could it be that Xu Xiaoshou had also instantly killed the Central Hexagram Saint?
Snake Lady’s eyes wandered among the many demi-saints, then she covered her lips with a finger and teased,
“So you mean to say, all twelve of you at full strength couldn’t stop that mere Xu Xiaoshou… If I remember correctly, he’s only in his twenties, right?”
“Correct!” Kong Tong nodded emphatically, regardless of whether it would provoke anger from those behind him.
The Snake Lady parted her lips, and a slender forked tongue emerged, licking over her radiant lips and the white snow of her chest, saliva dripping down as she spoke:
