Destined Martial God

"Zhao Xinyu, I have yet to find trouble with you, I did not expect that you would deliver yourself up to my doorstep!" Looking at Zhao Xinyu who was standing in front of Zhao Zhong, the corner of Yu Haoran's mouth raised slightly as he threatened.    

"Is that so?"    

Facing Yu Haoran's threat, Zhao Xinyu was not afraid in the slightest, and only let out a disdainful sneer.    

Then, he turned around and asked Zhao Zhong.    

"Brother Zhong, if I have a way to prevent Yu Haoran from using the secret transformation technique, would you have the confidence to capture him?"    

"Xinyu, does that mean you despise me, your loyal brother!"    

Without using the secret transformation technique, Yu Haoran's cultivation was only at the peak of the warrior's ninth stage.    

In Zhao Zhong's eyes, an opponent with this kind of strength was like an ant. He wanted to stomp, pinch, stomp, smack, kill, and live, all by relying on his own will.    

Therefore, when Zhao Xinyu asked this question in contempt of his, he felt extremely dissatisfied.    

"Brother Zhong, it's not that little brother despises you, but it's that little brother can only use the [secret transformation technique] once."    

"If you have 100% confidence in capturing him, then I'm willing to give up this precious magical artifact to help you."    

"If you are not 100% sure, then let's admit defeat and let Yu Haoran take away the Gongsun Yiming siblings. In the future, we will look for a suitable opportunity." Facing Zhao Zhong's doubts, Zhao Xinyu hurriedly explained. At the same time, he asked with a cautious tone.    

However, if one were to carefully observe Zhao Xinyu's gaze, they would discover that his eyes occasionally flashed with a trace of coldness.    

"Zhao Xinyu, I, Zhao Zhong, swear on the rules of the heaven!"    

"If you, Zhao Xinyu, can restrict Yu Haoran from using the secret transformation technique, then I, Zhao Zhong, will capture Yu Haoran alive.    

In the face of Zhao Xinyu's distrust, Zhao Zhong, who had been thoroughly angered, raised his left hand and swore using the highest oath made by the Profound Sky Continent as an oath.    

"Brother Zhong, I just want to know if this plan is feasible. Why did you have to take such a serious oath?" reached out and pressed down Zhao Zhong's raised left hand, pretending to be extremely angry as he complained.    

However, at this moment, his heart was blooming with joy!    

Although he and Zhao Zhong were both direct descendants of the Zhao Family, and Zhao Zhong had a special relationship with the Old Town Sect Sect Master, and would not threaten his chance to reach the top in the future, in Zhao Xinyu's heart, getting rid of Yu Haoran was the most important thing in his life.    

As long as he could get rid of Yu Haoran, not to mention sacrificing Zhao Zhong, even if it involved the entire Zhao Clan, Zhao Xinyu would not even bat an eye.    

"Xinyu, I have already made the oath. I wonder when did you use the magical artifact that restricted Yu Haoran's transformation?" Zhao Zhong ignored Zhao Xinyu's complaints and asked coldly.    

Although Zhao Zhong could not completely guess Zhao Xinyu's thoughts, he could still feel that his repeated questioning just now was a concealed provocation.    

He clearly knew that he was trying to goad Qin Lie into doing so, but Zhao Zhong still dared to swear by the rules of the heavens that he absolutely could not break because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.    

Moreover, he also wanted to expand his influence in the sect through capturing Yu Haoran today. In the future, he would have the ability and the opportunity to fight for the position of sect master, with power and influence that was even greater.    

"Brother Zhong, when I'm done with my arrangements, I will immediately use that magical equipment!" Zhao Xinyu patted Zhao Zhong's shoulder and indicated.    

Then, he turned around and looked at Yu Haoran while nodding to the twenty odd Martial Masters he had brought with him.    

In regards to this, Yu Haoran did not stop them, he only calmly looked at Zhao Xinyu to see what he actually wanted to do.    

"Yu Haoran, I'll give you two choices now!" After waiting for the more than twenty Martial Masters he brought to block all the paths, Zhao Xinyu said smugly.    

"Speak!" As if he was watching a show, Yu Haoran's expression was relaxed as he indicated for her to come over.    

"The first choice is to obediently kneel in front of me and kowtow three times. I will consider letting you live."    

After giving his first choice, Zhao Xinyu stared closely at Yu Haoran, wanting to know how Yu Haoran would react after hearing the choice he had given.    

It was a pity that Yu Haoran's expression did not change at all, much less got angry. This made Zhao Xinyu extremely disappointed.    

Soon after, he angrily said the second option.    

"The second choice is for Brother Zhong to personally act. The process and outcome might not be too comfortable!"    

"Are you done talking?" After Zhao Xinyu gave his second choice, Yu Haoran waited for around 10 seconds. Realizing that the other party did not have any intentions of continuing, he reminded him.    

"Yu Haoran, I shall give you your choice!" Yu Haoran's calm appearance made Zhao Xinyu very unhappy. He immediately took out a red ball from his sleeve and coldly asked.    

"Zhao Xinyu, how about I give you two choices right now?"    

He glanced at the red ball that Zhao Xinyu had just taken out and felt a sense of familiarity. In his previous life, he seemed to have seen this red ball somewhere before.    

However, in this short period of time, he could not recall any of it, so he could only stall for time as he carefully wrote back.    

"Yu Haoran, looks like you have already made your choice!"    

Seeing Yu Haoran staring intently at the red ball in his hand, Zhao Xinyu knew that he had become suspicious.    

In order to prevent Yu Haoran from using the secret transformation technique in advance and affecting his meticulous plans, Zhao Xinyu decided to directly use the red ball that could restrict the secret transformation technique.    

He cut his finger and forced out a few drops of blood, dropping onto the red ball. Then, the red ball directly flew into the air.    

When the few drops of red blood completely merged with the ball, the red ball self-destructed. Countless red powder eventually formed a red circle of light with a diameter of 100 meters, enveloping everyone at the scene.    

"Gold Devouring Bug!"    

"Gold Devouring Bug!"    

When the red ball exploded, and the red halo of light enveloped everyone, Yu Haoran and the Tower Spirit in their sea of consciousness simultaneously shouted out.    

"How is this possible? How can Zhao Xinyu have a spirit insect that has been lost for hundreds of thousands of years like the Gold Devouring Beetle?" His spiritual will swept over the red light barrier formed by the red ball. After finally deciding that his judgement was not wrong, Tower Spirit was so shocked that he couldn't help but mutter to himself.    

"Lost for hundreds of thousands of years!"    

Initially, he was still shocked that Zhao Xinyu actually possessed a spirit creature like the Gold Devouring Beetle, but after hearing Tower Spirit's mutterings, Yu Haoran immediately asked in confusion.    

"That's right!" Nodding his head, Tower Spirit asked.    

"The Gold Devouring Beetle is a special kind of creature that feeds on the fresh blood of living creatures, somewhere between a strange beast and a spirit beast."    

"The Gold Devouring Beetles can ignore any of the creature's defenses. Even a defense formed by the power of laws is unable to stop them from directly entering the creature's body, and then instantly devouring all of the creature's blood."    

"Due to the fact that the blood of living beings contains one-third of the power of one's cultivation, the metal-eating bug that devours all of one's blood will be able to possess one-third of its cultivation within a short period of time."    

Saying that, the Tower Spirit revealed a look of lingering fear.    

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a large number of Gold Devouring Beetles appeared out of nowhere."    

"Since the Gold Devouring Beetles live off of blood, they will automatically die if they don't consume it. This leads to them chasing the blood of living beings like crazy."    

"Therefore, these Gold Devouring Beetles that suddenly appeared started to attack the strange beasts and humans that contained a large amount of fresh blood. In less than half a year, the entire Profound Sky Continent had lost nearly a quarter of its population."
