One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

The palm slowly turned over.

"break."

Zhang Tianyi clenched his fists tightly!

The golden Dharma form's giant hand reached out and grabbed Asura's six weapons along with its arms, holding them all in its palm!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a cracking sound.

Ashura's weapon and arm were forcibly crushed into scattered black mist by the golden divine lightning!

Followed by.

Zhang Tianyi clenched his right fist and punched it forward horizontally!

The golden Dharma form's giant fist, carrying the overwhelming power to crush everything, slammed head-on into Asura's chest!

"boom--------!!!"

Divine lightning exploded within Asura's body!

That arrogant and enormous demon was completely blasted apart in mid-air!

It turned into countless tiny black powders, which vanished without a trace under the washing of golden light.

Inside the main hall, tranquility was restored.

The golden Dharma image transformed into specks of light, slowly merging into Zhang Tianyi's body.

He withdrew his hand and calmed the flow of Qi within his body.

opposite.

Abe Shigeaki's body swayed violently.

When Asura was destroyed, the backlash directly extinguished his last vestige of life.

His legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees.

The body began to turn to ashes little by little, starting from the feet upwards.

But he did not fall.

Abe Shigeaki struggled to lift his head and looked at Zhang Tianyi, who was walking towards him.

The fading face showed no fear, but rather a bleak yet relieved smile.

"Is this... the profound heritage of China...?"

Abe Shigeaki's voice was already as faint as a whisper, as if it could be blown away by the sea breeze at any moment.

"I've schemed my whole life... but in the end, I still lost on this heaven-reaching path..."

He turned his head and looked towards the distant east, in the direction of Japan.

“Brother Xinzhi… the road ahead is now yours to walk alone…”

Zhang Tianyi stood before him, quietly watching this cunning and ruthless tycoon walk towards his end.

He did not speak to interrupt his final moments.

"Tian Shu Zhenren".

Abe Shigeaki turned around and looked at Zhang Tianyi with the only half of his face he had left.

"I, of the Yin-Yang School, am utterly defeated."

The words fell.

A cold sea breeze swept by.

Abe no Shigeaki's body completely turned into a pile of grayish-white powder.

Zhang Tianyi looked at the ashes on the ground and let out a long breath.

He turned around and looked at the woman in the corner who was so frightened that she was stiff and didn't even have the strength to run away.

"Now."

Zhang Tianyi strode towards Qu Tong.

"It's our turn to settle the bill."

......

Inside the underwater palace, small stones kept falling from the dome, crashing onto the messy floor tiles.

With the shattering of the Yata no Kagami and the complete annihilation of Abe no Shigeaki.

This deep-sea cage, maintained by divine artifacts and formations, has begun to groan in despair under its unbearable burden.

Fine water droplets seeped from the surrounding stone walls.

The terrifying water pressure in the deep sea is trying to reclaim this isolated space.

Zhang Tianyi stepped over the pebbles scattered on the ground and walked step by step toward Qu Tong, who was huddled in the corner.

His steps were unhurried, and every sound of his slippers hitting the ground was like a heavy hammer, precisely striking Qu Tong's tense nerves.

The white-clad youth was getting closer and closer.

Qu Tong took a deep breath.

She forced herself to straighten her legs, which were trembling slightly with fear.

She reached up and tidied her long, disheveled hair, then vigorously brushed the dust off her suit jacket.

Even in this desperate situation, as the leader of Yaoxing Society, her inherent pride and rationality still held sway.

"Not running anymore?"

Zhang Tianyi stopped two meters in front of her, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the woman with great interest.

Qu Tong looked directly into Zhang Tianyi's eyes. Her beautiful face showed neither pleading nor hysterical breakdown.

She remained remarkably calm.

"If you can't escape, why waste your energy?"

Qu Tong spoke quickly, but her enunciation was exceptionally clear. She was trying to throw out all her chips in the shortest amount of time:

"Master Tian Shu, let's make a deal."

"A deal?" Zhang Tianyi raised an eyebrow, as if he had heard a joke.

"Yes, a deal."

Qu Tong did not back down; a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

“Killing me today will not bring you any real benefit other than venting your anger. It will even cause the Yaoxing Society to completely spiral out of control, bringing endless trouble to you and the Celestial Master’s Mansion.”

"But if you spare my life."

Qu Tong straightened her back slightly and revealed her most tempting trump card:

"My intelligence network can still be used by you."

"Furthermore, regarding this international exchange tournament in Japan, I know all the spies those families have planted on the field! I even know the specific methods they're planning to use against the Chinese teams!"

"If you nod your head, I, Qu Tong, am willing to be the sharpest knife in your hand, helping you cut away those hidden troubles cleanly!"

Qu Tong's words were rational, ruthless, and hit the nail on the head.

She didn't talk about feelings, nor did she ask for forgiveness.

She tried to sway the man who stood above the rules with the purest of interests.

This is the survival rule for top politicians: as long as you have value, you will not die.

however.

After listening to this seemingly perfect negotiation speech...

Zhang Tianyi remained silent for a long time.

He looked at Qu Tong, and a deep sadness and undisguised contempt gradually emerged in his eyes.

"Qu Tong, oh Qu Tong."

Zhang Tianyi shook his head, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Do you think you've figured out exactly what everyone in the world is thinking?"

Qu Tong was taken aback, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

"What kind of rare thing do you think the intelligence you hold in your hands is?"

Zhang Tianyi took a step forward, and the oppressive feeling instantly made Qu Tong catch her breath.

"A spy planted by the Japanese? A trap on the field?"

Zhang Tianyi scoffed:

Do you think an elephant would care what kind of hole a few ants have dug under its feet when it's walking?

Zhang Tianyi bent down slightly, staring coldly at Qu Tong's face, which was slightly distorted with shock.

"A schemer like you, who is used to hiding in the shadows and manipulating people's hearts, will never understand one principle."

"Faced with absolute power, all those schemes and tricks you're so proud of..."

"It's not even worth a fart!"

These words were like a resounding slap in the face, striking Qu Tong's pride hard.

She always thought she was in control of the game and that she was a valuable player.

As a result, in other people's eyes, she didn't even have the right to sit at the card table!

"you……"

Qu Tong gritted her teeth, and the calmness in her eyes was finally torn apart, replaced by a kind of madness driven to the brink of despair!

"If we can't reach an agreement, then you can forget about getting anything!"

Qu Tong suddenly let out a sharp shout!
