Chapter 766: Chapter 759: Greed Shows Power

Every step Wu Meng took seemed to crush down on Chen Hai’s heart.

If it were someone else in this situation, perhaps the invisible, intangible pressure would have already caused them to break out in profuse sweat and crumble completely.

However, Chen Hai appeared still to be as calm as a breeze in clear skies.

Since he had realized that the partially revived Golden Jiao Scissors couldn’t shake the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower in the slightest, he was too lazy to bring out this treasure again after it was taken away.

His reaction left Wu Meng slightly surprised.

After all, with the Treasure Seeking Mouse’s sensing ability, Wu Meng had already ascertained that the only Spiritual Treasure on Chen Hai was the Golden Jiao Scissors.

Without a doubt, this should be Chen Hai’s most powerful trump card.

Facing Wu Meng, who was advancing step by step with the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, he actually chose not to use the Golden Jiao Scissors?

“Chen Hai, things have already reached this point, do you think if you give up now, I would show leniency due to our past friendship and let you off?”

“I, Wu, have never known the meaning of leaving room for later reconciliation!”

“Throughout my life, whatever I do, I have only one principle: either don’t do it, but if I do, I must carry it through to the end.”

“The reason why I am using the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower is all because of you. You will die by my hands; you can’t blame anybody else but yourself!”

If Chen Hai used the Golden Jiao Scissors, an unparalleled weapon for killing, even with the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower in hand, Wu Meng wasn’t very confident that he could take down Chen Hai in a short amount of time.

Now, seeing that Chen Hai seemed to have no intention of using the Golden Jiao Scissors, Wu Meng had a thought flash across his mind, and with just a little conjecture, he found a suitable reason for Chen Hai’s obviously abnormal behavior.

“Does he take me, Wu Meng, for someone with a merciful, saintly heart?”

“This Chen Hai, after all, is too young and somewhat naïve and childish!”

Wu Meng completely scorned Chen Hai’s foolish thoughts.

With a look of disdain, he curled his lips, and in the next moment, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower floating above his head swelled in the wind and took flight, pressing down on Chen Hai like Mt. Tai bearing down.

Although this Supreme Treasure primarily governed defense, when truly used for offense, its prowess was equally fearsome to the extreme.

For example, at this moment, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, having swelled to the size of a real treasure tower, had not even truly descended, yet its terrifying oppressive force had already preemptively borne down on Chen Hai.

Influenced by this oppressive force, although Chen Hai wasn’t immobilized on the spot, he seemed as if he was bearing a great mountain; even a slight movement felt extremely labored.

“People usually learn from their mistakes, not making the same error twice.”

“But you, Lord Wu, seem to be an exception!”

“You lost a God-Slaying Blade to me, yet you seem to have not learned your lesson.”

“Using the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower to suppress me? I’m really curious to know who gave you the courage…”

The horrifying oppressive force seemed to bend Chen Hai’s body, but his expression remained composed.

Looking at Wu Meng as if at a fool standing some distance away, he lifted his head and gazed at the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, which was descending upon him with unmatchable force, and he let out a long, wild laugh towards the skies.

In the next instant, his forehead split open, and the impatient Eye of Greed burst forth directly from the crack.

Under the stare filled with boundless greed, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, despite being a Supreme Treasure, seemed as if it had met its natural enemy.

Not only was it abruptly suspended in the void, but its massive tower body was visibly out of control, starting to shake violently.

“Damn it, this is the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, the first among many Acquired Spiritual Treasures!”

“The eye that emerged between Chen Hai’s brows, what Divine Skill is it?”

“It’s bad enough that it took away the God-Slaying Blade, but being stared at by this eye, even the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower that I’ve refined for many years has completely lost control in an instant, how is this happening?”

…

Always having the upper hand and feeling confident in having bested Chen Hai, Wu Meng’s face had dramatically changed at this moment.

His face was filled with disbelief, and deep in his heart, filled with unwillingness, he roared in rage.

Regrettably, facing the Eye of Greed that could suppress ten thousand treasures, no matter how loudly he shouted, it was completely useless.

Suddenly soaring into the air, the Eye of Greed, which had swelled to the size of a millstone, emitted a greedy light that now materialized, turning into countless white filaments visible to the naked eye.

Those filaments wrapped around the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower and then gently tugged.

Like rivers returning to the ocean, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, suspended above the void, was absorbed into the Eye of Greed and disappeared without a trace.

Having taken away this Supreme Treasure, the Eye of Greed was already satisfied. The eyelid began to close slowly, and soon, the eye that had swollen to the size of a millstone reverted back to a faint imprint and entered between the brows of Chen Hai, vanishing without a trace.

“Fuck me, Chen Hai…”

Watching this scene unfold right under his eyes, the frantic and furious Wu Meng completely lost control. With one hand on his hip, he pointed at Chen Hai and started cursing aloud.

The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, this Supreme Treasure, had originally fallen into silence and into the hands of a toad clan within the Demon Clan.

Those toads, with their limited knowledge, truly had no idea of their treasure’s value.

At first, when Wu Meng, who had just entered the True Immortal Realm, learned of this, he served the demons and stayed in the toad clan’s lair for nearly a hundred years.

Tormented by a group of female toads every day, God knows how Wu Meng endured such miserable years!

Recalling the hardship he went through to get his hands on the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower, his body trembled, and tears flowed.

But now, after selling his body and dignity to finally acquire it, and after spending countless years nurturing it to recover most of its power, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower was snatched away by Chen Hai in less than an instant…

Wu Meng’s eyes were moist, and with an open mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out violently.

“Lord Wu, you really are a good man.”

“To thank you for continuously sending me treasures, I think it’s only fair to give you a quick end!”

“Golden Jiao Scissors, appear!”

On the other hand, sensing the void within the Eye of Greed, where another tower emerged amidst the white mist, Chen Hai was grinning from ear to ear, his face radiant with sunshine.

The Golden Jiao Scissors that he had previously put away appeared once again between heaven and earth.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use the Devouring Touch to directly devour Wu Meng, but mainly because Wu Meng, who was now in the Golden Immortal Realm and a Great Realm above him, would be difficult to handle without the use of the Golden Jiao Scissors.

“Chen Hai, I’ll never coexist under the same heaven with you, not until death do us part!”

“The next time we meet will be the day of your death!”

A dazzling streak of golden light swept across Wu Meng’s body, cutting him into two. With no sound or breath left, he fell to the ground.
