Chapter 765: Chapter 758 Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower
The Golden Jiao Scissors hovered in the void, aiming towards Wu Meng’s position below, the seemingly rust-spotted blades about to make a cut.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to fall into silence.
Only two crosscutting golden lights swept across the heavens and earth, as if they wanted to forcefully bisect the whole world.
An indescribable sense of fatality rose uncontrollably from Wu Meng’s heart.
At this critical juncture, he dared not hold anything back.
Strands of Mysterious Yellow Qi rose from his body and, in the blink of an eye, the dense Mysterious Yellow Qi merged into an Exquisite Treasure Tower, completely enveloping Wu Meng.
The not yet fully awakened Golden Jiao Scissors, although terrifying in might with those two golden glows, seemed slightly less effective than the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
The two world-cleaving golden glows didn’t even touch the tower itself, only the Mysterious Yellow Qi entwined around the tower that obliterated them into nothingness.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hai couldn’t help but feel shaken.
He knew that when he faced Hua Qing and Huang Dongming, two Golden Immortals, alone, the Golden Jiao Scissors had slain them on the spot without them having any chance to resist.
Yet now, facing the Exquisite Treasure Tower that enveloped Wu Meng, his Golden Jiao Scissors seemed somewhat powerless.
After a futile attempt, the golden glow from the scissors, which devoured the Mysterious Yellow Qi, dimmed significantly after several more cuts, still failing to achieve any results, without even breaching the Mysterious Yellow Qi surrounding the tower.
“He’s really cunning, this Wu Meng, hiding very deep.”
“With such a Supreme Treasure for protection, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would hardly break through the defenses of the Exquisite Treasure Tower and truly harm him.”
“This damn guy, with such confidence, still shamelessly hides and sneaks around.”
“So-called playing possum, he’s truly taken it to the extreme!”
Despite the Golden Jiao Scissors’ ineffectiveness, no sign of panic could be seen on Chen Hai’s face.
With a gesture, the Golden Jiao Scissors floating in the sky turned into a streak of golden light and merged back into his body as he retracted it.
He glanced at the Exquisite Treasure Tower guarding Wu Meng and murmured to himself.
“Chen Hai, I have the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower to protect me, invulnerable to all evils, undying and unyielding.”
“This not yet fully restored Golden Jiao Scissors is nothing but a fart in front of my treasure.”
“Originally, I was ready to leave, but you insisted on making a move against me, you forced my hand!”
“Today, anyone who has seen this ultimate card on me must die, not one will be spared!”
Standing under the Exquisite Treasure Tower, Wu Meng burst into wild laughter.
His hair disheveled and waving in the wind, he merely took one step but crossed nearly a hundred meters, appearing near Dongfang Mu.
“The Lord is mighty, the Lord is domineering.”
“With the Lord supporting us, even if Chen Hai were to have three heads and six arms, he would still inevitably meet his end.”
“From now on, I, Dongfang Mu, am the Lord’s loyal dog; whoever you command me to bite, I will bite.”
…
With Wu Meng suddenly appearing beside him, Dongfang Mu was visibly startled.
His laugh was strained, and while he continued to flatter vigorously, he looked somewhat frightened and uneasy, his face full of wariness as he kept stepping back.
After all, the intent to silence expressed in Wu Meng’s previous words could be unmistakably heard by anyone with a bit of a brain.
“I prefer to be alone; I don’t need any lackeys!”
“If you’re ready to pledge loyalty to me, just don’t resist when I kill you.”
“Only the dead can keep secrets. Once you’re dead, I can rest easy.”
With a disdainful face, Wu Meng let out a cold laugh.
Back then, the still unrecovered Golden Jiao Scissors had forced Emperor Xuanguang and Lady Yuji, two Quasi-Saints, into a fierce fight.
Among many Acquired Spiritual Treasures, Golden Jiao Scissors are indeed one of the top existences.
However, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower that he possessed was an Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure with amazing defensive capabilities and other marvelous uses, including the miraculous effect of suppressing luck.
Overall, his Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower might even be stronger than the Golden Jiao Scissors at their peak.
Aware of the treasure in his possession, Wu Meng dared not reveal it!
Had it not been for Chen Hai commanding the Golden Jiao Scissors to slay him, forcing him into a corner with no other response, perhaps he would never have revealed this hidden Supreme Treasure.
Choosing not to use the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower is one thing; once the item had come into view, his first act was naturally to kill and silence anyone who had seen it.
Why didn’t he attack Chen Hai first, instead striking at Dongfang Mu, who was on his side?
The reason was simple, as Chen Hai held the Golden Jiao Scissors, which were equally menacing. On some level, they were in the same plight.
On the other hand, Dongfang Mu was the furthest away.
If Dongfang Mu had tried to escape amid his fight with Chen Hai, the situation could have escalated!
“Escape…” Sensing the naked killing intent from Wu Meng, Dongfang Mu, who knew it was difficult to flee, obviously would not sit idly by.
He had just taken one or two steps when the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, hovering over Wu Meng’s head, lightly trembled. A mighty force acted on Dongfang Mu, freezing him in place.
The next moment, Wu Meng stepped forward, his large hand reaching out and grabbing Dongfang Mu’s neck.
With a ‘snap,’ his neck was twisted and broken.
Immediately after, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower trembled again, and Dongfang Mu was utterly obliterated, his soul destroyed, his body reduced to dust.
“Ah…”
On the other hand, almost simultaneously, a scream echoed.
Li Kuishan, who also turned to run, was forcefully intercepted by Chen Hai.
Despite both being Heavenly Immortals, his strength was no match for Chen Hai.
Without even bothering to use the Golden Jiao Scissors, just the dense Devouring Touch bursting from his body swiftly obliterated Li Kuishan completely, devoured entirely by Chen Hai.
“After so many struggles, I, Wu Meng, seek stability in my actions!”
“Chen Hai, a mere Heavenly Immortal with a treasure like the Golden Jiao Scissors—it’s a crime to carry such a treasure. I thought taking it from you would be easy, almost certain.”
“However, at this point, I must admit, you’ve hidden yourself too well; I indeed underestimated you!”
“Having been forced to use the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, dying under such a treasure, you can consider it an honorable death!”
After eliminating Dongfang Mu, Wu Meng’s gaze once again locked onto Chen Hai.
Facing the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, he walked towards Chen Hai with a unique rhythm, slow and steady.
