Chapter 582

The people of the Holy Group don't know why they didn't do that? Zhu Bajie was a bit puzzled.

They don't know, and even if they did, they couldn't activate it. Tang Luo said.

Don't look at the Holy Group having controlled the Sacred Heart for so many years, and using it to summon otherworldly visitors.

In reality, they were just lucky enough to hitch a ride; the people of the Holy Group cannot see the scene that Tang Luo sees.

They also cannot see the points of light that Chaos sees in other worlds.

They merely relied on the power of the Sacred Heart.

Tang Luo is different; he is temporarily not the owner of the vehicle, but he is also a driver now.

His control over the Sacred Heart far surpasses that of the Holy Group, incomparable.

Zhu Bajie began destroying the sacred weapons; in a short while, the room was filled with a large amount of scrap, and the Sacred Heart.

Xiao Qian and Chuan Shang, the two ghosts, looked at those Sacred Hearts emitting light, their faces showing entranced expressions.

"Throw these things out." Tang Luo instructed, and the two threw the wreckage of the destroyed sacred weapons one by one out of the Cursed House.

Outside, the exorcists and Holy Group personnel watched, their hair standing on end.

They saw the door of that house wide open, and then the wreckage of the sacred weapons floated out piece by piece.

Outside the Cursed House, Ao Yu Lie and Xiao Tian Quan guarded the dying Cain Si Te's head.

Xiao Tian Quan occasionally rolled it with its paws, as if it were a ball.

This Sacred Heart in hand absorbs other Sacred Hearts, with no upper limit; hundreds of owned Sacred Hearts were completely transformed into flowing light and poured into it.

Holding it in hand also felt extraordinarily heavy.

If smashed out, its power would be no less than Nezha's golden brick.

As the Sacred Hearts converged.

Outside, the exorcists' faces changed one after another; they discovered they had gone from resonators to ordinary people, completely severed from the Sacred Heart.

Holding this special Sacred Heart, Tang Luo walked out of the Cursed House and came to Du Bang's side.

"Captain..." Du Bang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Don't panic, it won't hurt." Tang Luo said, flicked his finger, and flicked it onto Du Bang's arm.

Du Bang's body jerked violently; the Sacred Heart fused on his arm was forcibly shaken loose by Tang Luo.

For a moment, blood flowed freely.

Before he could scream in agony, Tang Luo activated his light, instantly healing Du Bang; as for that Sacred Heart, before it even touched the ground, it turned into flowing light and merged into the Sacred Heart in Tang Luo's hand.

"I... am also an ordinary person now." Du Bang murmured softly.

Tang Luo patted Du Bang's shoulder, stood up, and walked to Hai Te's side.

Half a minute later, Hai Te, whose head had been probed, sat dazedly, still in a state of shock, like a wooden puppet.

It seemed he had left behind not a few psychological scars.

The matter was settled; Tang Luo walked to Cain Si Te's head, with Zhu Bajie, Ao Yu Lie, and Xiao Tian Quan standing beside him.

The Cursed House was also put away.

Facing a group of people with complex gazes, Tang Luo spoke: "Demons, world-destroyers have been eliminated; the purpose of summoning us has been achieved. Ladies and gentlemen, we shall part here."

Having said that, he stepped on and crushed Cain Si Te's head, truly liberating him.

The message "Mission Complete" appeared in their minds, and Tang Luo and the others immediately returned to the real world.

In the eyes of the Holy Group members, it was just a flash of brilliance, and three people and one beast vanished without a trace.

"Did they really go back?"

"It was said to be easy to die; maybe they already died." Someone said unwillingly.

At first, Tang Luo's words frightened them, making them hesitate and dare not step forward; now that Tang Luo and the others disappeared, they regretted losing the opportunity.

"The Sacred Heart is gone, and so is demon slaying." Holte stood up and said, "Then the exorcists and the Holy Group have no reason to exist."

He was rather broad-minded, seeing things openly.

"Fortunately, I've saved some money over these years." Selixia said, suddenly her eyes lit up, "Now I can paint the captain."

Simply as a painter, to paint a savior.

"The Holy Group cannot disband yet." Bu Yi Si said, "There are still Sacred Hearts scattered around the world; besides, can demons really be completely extinct? We cannot just listen to Tang Luo's one-sided account; there is still much for us to do."

————

Real world, Dragon King Ship.

Ao Yu Lie said somewhat dissatisfied: "I thought this mission's reward would be better, but it's still the same old thing."

His reward this time is a skill named Ice Cone, just like many games commonly have, releasing one or several ice cones to attack enemies.

Like fireball technique, it's a very common skill.

However, in the journey of gods and demons, it's rare to see someone use this skill.

Now Ao Yu Lie has a total of three skills: Shadow Binding, Five-Hit Slash, and Ice Cone; Dragon Claw Hand has already been mastered by him, no longer occupying a skill slot.

Zhu Bajie's reward is a skill named "Molten Arm Armor," belonging to the "State Skill."

When activated, from elbow to fingertip will be wrapped in a layer of molten lava, extremely hot and also very heavy.

The palm position is a clenched fist shape; the five fingers cannot separate or move freely, equivalent to wearing a large hammer.

For ordinary god and demon walkers, it's probably only usable at critical moments, as swinging a few punches would likely exhaust one's strength.

Tang Luo's reward skill...

"Let me try my skill." Tang Luo looked at Ao Yu Lie and said.

Ao Yu Lie was stunned, immediately stepped back two steps: "Master, I am your most beloved little white dragon! I am your mount!"

A mount is not for testing skills, but for traveling.

"I think the third senior brother is more suitable!" Ao Yu Lie said seriously, "Or the second senior brother also works; he's thick-skinned and muscular."

"Master, let me do it. I'm naturally good at defense." Sha Wujing, appearing with a youthful face, said.

"Sha Junior Brother, you're too honest." Zhu Bajie walked over and patted Sha Wujing's shoulder, "Don't listen to Xiao Bailong. Master wants to test his skills with him—there must be a reason. It's not based on defensive power."

"I see." Sha Wujing nodded, "It was my rashness—I didn't understand Master's deeper intention."

"It's not an attack skill." Tang Luo said with a smile, "This skill is interesting. Xiao Bailong, you're the most suitable."

"Why?" Ao Yulie asked.

Tang Luo said, "Because you're the weakest."

Ao Yulie immediately crouched to one side: "Then let's begin."

Anyway, I'm the worst—whatever you say is right.

"Weak dragon!"

Tang Luo stood up, pointed at Ao Yulie, and shouted loudly.

Ao Yulie, crouched on the ground, snapped his head toward Tang Luo. A golden light flashed in his eyes, dragon scales appeared on his arms, and everyone faintly heard a dragon's roar.

The crew and passengers on the Dragon King's ship changed color; many collapsed directly onto the ground.

Overwhelmed by the fleeting dragon's might.

He violently shook his head, as if suddenly pricked by a needle, and jumped up: "Master, I'm not—I didn't!"

"Don't panic. Your reaction is normal—I just obtained this ancient skill." Tang Luo waved his hand.

"Huh——" Ao Yulie exhaled a large breath in relief.

When Tang Luo called him a weak dragon just now, Ao Yulie's heart surged with uncontrollable anger and resentment.

He even had the impulse to jump up and smash Tang Luo's dog head.

Such emotions hadn't surfaced in a very, very long time.

When Ao Yulie first met Tang Luo back then, he had this feeling of resentment. Later, living together daily, they became close as one.

Ao Yulie thus became wholly convinced of Tang Luo.

"Master, what skill is this? It looks interesting." Zhu Bajie asked.

Ao Yulie also looked toward Tang Luo.

"Taunt." Tang Luo said.

The skill Taunt: when issuing a shout at a target, it provokes the target to feel anger and involuntarily want to attack the shouter.

Judging by now, the effect is still quite good.

Similarly, for the third-level skill, as level increases, the number of targets affected by Taunt increases to 5 and 10, and the effect strengthens.

"It's a good skill." Zhu Bajie chuckled, looking simple and honest.

Sha Wujing was thinking: after Master uses this skill, he must protect him well.

As an artifact spirit born, he has always placed protecting Tang Luo first.

"It doesn't seem very powerful either." Ao Yulie said, "Master, I snapped back to clarity instantly."

"That's because you're you, and Master is Master." Zhu Bajie said, sounding a bit strange.

But Ao Yulie understood immediately.

He could regain clarity so quickly purely because of their identities.

Even if momentarily dazed, he could instantly recall Tang Luo's fearsome nature.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't wake up so easily.

This is still a first-level skill; as level increases, the taunt effect will improve further.

"Master, when using this skill, do we only get to say 'Weak Dragon'?" Ao Yulie leaned in and asked.

He recalled Tang Luo's Spartan battle cry, which required shouting "Buddha's Dharma is Boundless" when used.

If this taunt were like that skill.

Then his name "Weak Dragon" Ao Yulie would echo throughout all heavens and worlds.

This won't do—he is the handsome, suave, elegant Jade Dragon Prince. Though he looks weak, that's only by comparison.

In reality, he is very strong.

Otherwise, ask Kongming or ask the startled little Daoist—they'd surely say the Jade Dragon Prince is strong.

He is a true dragon!

"No need for that—say whatever you want." Tang Luo asked, "What's wrong?"

"Good, good." Ao Yulie breathed a sigh of relief.

"But fixing it as 'Weak Dragon' is fine too." Tang Luo said, "I think 'Weak Dragon' is good—concise and meaningful, and it can motivate you."

"Master! No need to say more—I'm going to cultivate now!" Ao Yulie turned into a streak of light and shot into the seabed in an instant.

"Dog, go help him—I'm afraid Xiao Bailong's determination won't last half an hour." Tang Luo said.

The Heavenly Dog howled and dove into the sea as well.

After a while, the originally calm sea surface stirred up wind and waves, even forming gradual whirlpools.

"These two little rascals..." Zhu Bajie shook his head, reached out and pressed lightly in the air—instantly, the wind and waves calmed.

"Master is going into seclusion to recover. Bajie, Wujing, you guard the Dharma for me." Tang Luo stood up and left the Dragon King's ship as well.

Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie followed closely behind.
