Don't be a liar

After the Mountain Monarch finished dealing with those Cultivators, his expression suddenly froze.

In the next instant, his body vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was standing right in front of Zhou Ziming.

The Mountain Monarch looked at Zhou Ziming, then at the withered Spiritual Plant before him.

The Mountain Monarch instantly flew into a rage.

"Kid, you're seeking death! How dare you touch my Opportunity!"

With that, the Mountain Monarch directly swung a claw.

In a flash, four claw marks formed by spiritual energy shot toward Zhou Ziming and the City Lord.

Zhou Ziming was speechless.

He hadn't wanted to get involved in this mess, yet by some twist of fate, things had reached this point.

This made Zhou Ziming quite unhappy.

And the fact that this Mountain Monarch attacked without asking for the reason made Zhou Ziming even more displeased.

Facing those three claw marks, a dozen Flying Swords instantly flew out from Zhou Ziming's Spatial Ring.

The speed of those Flying Swords was incredibly fast, and their power was also impressive.

In almost an instant, those claw marks were directly shattered by Zhou Ziming's Flying Swords.

The Mountain Monarch was also dumbfounded.

"Is this the Sword Control Art?"

He truly found it hard to believe that someone had Cultivated the Sword Control Art to such a Realm.

This was damn near reaching the level of a Divine Ability.

At this time, Zhou Ziming also spoke with a cold expression, "Retreat now, and I guarantee both of us will be fine!"

The Mountain Monarch was enraged.

"Arrogant! This Monarch will see today just what skills you humans actually have."

Zhou Ziming also realized that reasoning with this guy was impossible.

Since that's the case... *Boom!*

At this moment, dark clouds pressed down, and the lightning between heaven and earth began to stir.

The Mountain Monarch's expression instantly became serious.

"Tongxuan!"

He hadn't expected this somewhat unremarkable human to actually be in the Tongxuan Realm, and so young at that.

More importantly, the pressure Zhou Ziming was giving him now was quite heavy.

Zhou Ziming's eyes were now completely replaced by lightning.

Surrounded by white lightning, he floated in mid-air and locked eyes with the Mountain Monarch.

"I'll say it one last time: get lost, or die!"

The Mountain Monarch snorted coldly.

"Hmph, a mere human, even if you're also in the Tongxuan Realm... Pfft..."

Before the Mountain Monarch could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning exploded.

The Great Perfection movement technique, Raging Thunder Flash—one thunderclap covers ten thousand miles.

Zhou Ziming instantly appeared before the Mountain Monarch and threw a punch.

*Whoosh... Thud!*

The Mountain Monarch's body crashed directly into the ground.

At the same time, he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

*Buzz buzz buzz...*

At this moment, nine Flying Swords were all circling around Zhou Ziming.

Furthermore, all nine Flying Swords began to crackle with electric light.

Raging Thunder Sword Art~

As Zhou Ziming pointed a finger forward,

The Flying Swords manifested the power of thunder like a heavenly punishment, trailing twisted lightning tails as they all shot toward the Mountain Monarch.

"Damn it!"

The Mountain Monarch panicked now.

He truly hadn't expected that the human he looked down upon would be so powerful.

The Mountain Monarch quickly spat out a small shield from his mouth.

The shield instantly expanded and blocked his front.

*Bang bang bang...*

Ultimately, Zhou Ziming's Flying Swords were too low-quality.

Though their power was decent, the Flying Swords all shattered upon impacting the shield.

However, once the Flying Swords had completely shattered, the Mountain Monarch's shield also cracked and broke with a snap.

*Boom!*

Another thunderclap sounded.

The Mountain Monarch was instantly terrified.

Without even thinking, he scrambled and crawled away from his spot.

Just as the Mountain Monarch left,

Zhou Ziming's figure plummeted down.

Falling along with him were countless bolts of lightning.

However, before the stones kicked up by Zhou Ziming's descent could even land,

*Boom...*

With another thunderclap, Zhou Ziming's body vanished again.

The Mountain Monarch hurriedly threw on a layer of armor.

*Thud...*

The armor had just been put on,

When it was smashed to pieces by a punch from Zhou Ziming.

The Mountain Monarch's body was sent flying into the distance, trailing a massive wave of dust and smoke.

*Boom!*

Another thunderclap exploded.

The Mountain Monarch was scared out of his wits.

"Curse you, I'll fight you to the death!"

At this moment, the Mountain Monarch's body was also surrounded by lightning and gusts of hurricane winds.

Zhou Ziming frowned.

"What's your level? You're trying to play with lightning like me?"

Then, another thunderclap exploded.

Zhou Ziming appeared before the Mountain Monarch once again.

This time, Zhou Ziming aimed a punch at the Mountain Monarch's head.

He wanted to end this battle.

Feeling the threat of death,

The Mountain Monarch's legs instinctively went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Zhou Ziming, looking completely bewildered, missed his punch.

That terrifying power of lightning carved a canyon directly behind the Mountain Monarch.

Zhou Ziming never expected that his punch would miss in such a way.

The Mountain Monarch also hadn't expected that his kneeling would save his life.

The Mountain Monarch then hurriedly said, "Stop fighting, stop fighting! I was wrong, I won't do it again! I beg your Excellency to spare my life!"

*Slash...*

Before the Mountain Monarch could even kowtow, Zhou Ziming pulled out another Flying Sword and lopped off the guy's head with one strike.

"You've offended me. If I could still let you live, what kind of Daoist Disciple would I be!"

The Mountain Monarch's head seemed unable to rest in peace even in death.

According to the normal rules, when you see me begging for mercy, shouldn't you stop appropriately?

Why did you kill me without any hesitation?

Don't you think about the consequences of killing me? Don't you ask about my identity?

Besides, I have the White Tiger Bloodline; at the very least, I could have served as a mount.

This is simply a waste of a precious resource!

But it was useless to say anything now.

The Mountain Monarch only felt his world continuously fading into darkness.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ziming was waiting.

He was waiting for the Mountain Monarch's body to revert to its original form.

But after waiting for a long time, the corpse showed no signs of reverting.

"Why is this?"

Zheng Yunyun also approached Zhou Ziming with a face full of shock.

"You just killed him like that?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

"But why didn't he turn back into his original form?"

Zheng Yunyun sighed.

"Because for a Transformed Great Yao, except for the Divine Soul which is the original form, his body *is* the original form!"

"However, though it's a human body, his bones and Bloodline are still that of a Yao Beast."

"Furthermore, a transformed Yao body is actually of higher value."

Zhou Ziming hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zheng Yunyun.

"How about you help me process it?"

Just as Zheng Yunyun was about to agree,

Zhou Ziming directly pulled Zheng Yunyun and vanished from the spot.

Just after they left,

The Void Realm cracked open.

A giant hand suddenly grabbed the Mountain Monarch's body and head, then vanished back into the Void Realm.

Once everything had settled,

Zheng Yunyun finally took a deep breath.

"That just now was... a Spirit Casting powerhouse!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

"Yes. Originally, I thought I could easily kill this little tiger, but now it seems it's not that easy to kill!"

Zheng Yunyun looked at Zhou Ziming with concern.

"This little tiger has a Spirit Casting Realm powerhouse behind him. If that little tiger is truly resurrected, wouldn't you be in trouble?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

"It is indeed a hassle. So, I want to ask you for a favor: help me investigate who that Spirit Casting Realm Cultivator actually is and which faction they belong to. Of course, just do your best; if there's danger, then give up!"

Zheng Yunyun nodded.

"That's no problem, but will investigating them solve your trouble?"
