Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 248 The Six-Eared Guardian Wuzhiqi Perishes!

"You beast! How dare you disrespect me! You have no sense of right and wrong!"

Zhunti angrily patted the corner of his clothes, swung his hand in a wide arc, and slapped Wuzhiqi hard.

As the weakest of the saints, Zhunti often suffered mistreatment whenever the saints gathered to discuss matters.

It's one thing to be humiliated in front of a sage, but how dare a mere minor demon like Taiyi spout such nonsense in front of him?

court death!

"boom!"

This slap was incredibly powerful; Wuzhiqi's body, which was ten meters tall and weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, was sent flying into the Huai River like a bomb.

After a long while, Zhunti coldly stared at the surface of the Huai River and said.

"I know you're still alive. If you don't come out now, you might as well give up on life."

Zhunti's words are like ice, freezing away bad water.

Wuzhiqi shakily surfaced, his face bruised and swollen, looking at Zhunti with fear.

"Senior, this little monkey was wrong. Please, senior, have mercy and spare this little monkey's life."

Wuzhiqi immediately chickened out, clasped his hands together, and repeatedly bowed to Zhunti, begging for mercy.

"snort!"

Zhunti gave a light snort; he had originally intended to set up a grand formation.

But now that there's a little demon named Taiyi in the Huai River, there's no need for such trouble.

He said coldly, "I'm giving you a task. Soon, many people will be digging ditches in the Huai River. Your job is to kill the leader, Gun. Once that's done, your mission will be complete, and I will bestow upon you a tremendous opportunity!"

"Senior, it's...that simple?"

Wuzhiqi was stunned. So what if he ate people? He ate people every day in the Huai River, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to his current level.

"It's that simple. If you do it well, you'll be richly rewarded; if you don't, I can take your life even from billions of miles away."

As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, seizing a wisp of Wuzhiqi's divine soul power, and then vanished instantly.

After Zhunti left, Wuzhiqi's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

His soul was taken away by that Taoist priest, and his life and death were now entirely in the hands of that person's single thought.

Soon, Wuzhiqi's face turned cold. It seemed that he had to do as the Taoist priest said in order to obtain that sliver of hope.

As for resistance?

Wuzhiqi knew very well that the Taoist's strength was unfathomable.

Even a Great Luo Immortal, or even a Quasi-Saint cultivator, probably doesn't have that kind of power!

And apart from these, there is only the supreme.

A flicker of fear crossed Wuzhiqi's eyes, and he dared not think any further.

At Mount Emei, in Luofu Cave, Zhao Gongming casually asked, "To what extent has the human race developed?"

Liu Er respectfully replied, "Teacher, in the present age of the human race, Emperor Yao is in power. Not long ago, a great flood occurred. Emperor Yao ordered Gun to control the flood. Gun is quite capable, and the flood has now been brought under control."

"Gun controlling the floods?"

Zhao Gongming nodded slightly. "Gun, as a great talent in flood control, his safety is of utmost importance. Go down to the mortal realm and protect him closely."

"Yes, teacher."

Liu Er nodded. He had just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and was feeling restless. He thought it would be a good opportunity to go down to the mortal world for a trip to relax.

Liu Er descended to the mortal realm and hid in the shadows to protect Gun.

Three months later, Gun led several thousand able-bodied men from the Youchong tribe to the Huai River.

They brought their tools and prepared to dig a long ditch in the Huai River.

Just then, a strong wind suddenly arose on the Huai River, and a giant beast, ten meters tall, resembling a monkey, with a white head, a green body, and fiery eyes, emerged from the Huai River.

He opened his blood-red maw and let out a long roar. A purple-gold staff appeared in his hand, which he then swung down at Gun.

This attack had the force of Mount Tai crashing down; even a real iron mountain could be shattered into a pancake, let alone Gun, who only had the peak cultivation of the Refining Void and Merging Dao.

Gun was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, his face blank, and he even forgot to dodge.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, a large, hairy, golden hand reached out from the void and grabbed the purple-gold iron rod.

Wuzhiqi was shocked, feeling as if his weapon was embedded in a chaotic divine mountain, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

He looked closely and saw that the one who had attacked him was a golden monkey that was a little bigger than him, with six ears, and it was baring its teeth and looking at him.

"You little rascal, who made you attack in the Huai River?"

Liu Er questioned, "Judging from the way Wu Zhiqi attacked just now, it was clearly a premeditated sneak attack."

If the teacher hadn't instructed him to guard Gun beforehand, the monster might have actually succeeded.

When that time comes, Gun will die and his spirit will vanish, floods will rage, and the human race will flourish. It is unknown how long this will be delayed.

Liu Er suspected that it was caused by people from the demon race.

On Mount Buzhou, the Lich King and the Demon King fought a decisive battle, resulting in mutual destruction. Ironically, this gave the human race the advantage, making them the protagonists of the world and leading to their rise to great prosperity.

The demon race would definitely not stand idly by and watch the human race prosper; they might even try to cause trouble.

Wuzhiqi's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He gave up on taking the purple-gold iron rod from Liu Er's hand and instead unleashed his Hundred-Zhang True Body.

With lightning speed, it pounced on Six Ears, its sharp claws gleaming with a cold light, carrying a chilling killing intent as it hurtled towards them.

"Hmph, ungrateful wretch!"

Wuzhiqi was only a newly ascended Taiyi Golden Immortal; even Liu Er, who had not yet attained the Great Luo realm, could easily defeat him.

Not to mention that he has already attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Liu Er kicked out directly, and with a loud bang, Wu Zhiqi seemed to be hit by a cannonball, and crashed into the Huai River.

Liu Er took three steps in two, lifting Wuzhiqi directly from the Huai River and sending him into the void.

"You're a red-bottomed macaque!"

Liu Er stared coldly at Wu Zhiqi, his ears twitching slightly; nothing could escape his notice.

As a transformation of a quarter of the Chaos Demon Ape's origin, whether it's the Six-Eared Macaque, the Long-Armed Ape, the Red-Bottomed Macaque, or the Spirit Stone Monkey, each has a portion of inherited memories in its mind.

Wuzhiqi glanced at Liuer in fear and quickly pleaded.

"Six-Eared Macaque, I didn't mean to harm anyone, please spare my life."

"Who exactly sent you to assassinate Gun? Tell me."

Liu Er coldly questioned, his eyes devoid of any other emotion.

"I can't say." Wuzhiqi's eyes revealed extreme fear.

"If you don't talk, then you can die."

Liu Er raised the Iron Pole of Free Will; he was not joking with Wu Zhi Qi.

Just by looking at the bloodthirsty aura behind Wuzhiqi, one can see just how many people he has harmed.

Filled with resentment, killing such a person would be effortless for Liu Er.

Liu Er's murderous aura was chilling, leaving no room for negotiation, which directly frightened Wu Zhiqi, who secretly groaned in his heart.

What bad luck have I been having lately? Why do I keep running into these monsters and ghosts?!

After much deliberation, just as he was about to voice his guess,

Suddenly, his mind trembled, and a sharp pain came over him. His soul was rapidly disintegrating.

In less than a breath, Wuzhiqi's eyes became lifeless.

Its massive body pushed aside the Golden Mountain and the Jade Pillar, falling to the ground without a sound.

"The soul is scattered and the spirit is destroyed—what a ruthless method!"

Liu Er was horrified. He could tell that Wu Zhiqi's soul had shattered and vanished in an instant, leaving him with no chance of rebirth.

This shows just how ruthless the spellcaster is.
