However, just as Zhou Tong dragged the fisherman into the sea, he suddenly and keenly sensed that someone seemed to be attacking him—and there was more than one.
"What the hell?" Those spells shook Zhou Tong to the core.
Every strike was earth-shattering. If this had happened in the Shrouding the Heavens World, where his true body resided, it would have been equivalent to several Great Emperors joining forces; in particular, several of the attacks carried an incomparably terrifying aura.
Immortals!
In an instant, Zhou Tong understood. There had to be True Immortal Realm experts among them. It was not only Supremes attacking him—there were also True Immortals.
However, Zhou Tong quickly calmed down. This seawater was extraordinarily unusual. When those attacks landed in the sea, they could only raise a splash.
As long as he did not surface, even attacks from True Immortals could not reach him. This sea possessed a strange power that could dissolve all attack runes, protecting him.
"These True Immortals aren't attacking because of me, but because of the people hanging onto me." Based on where those attacks landed, Zhou Tong roughly deduced the attackers' objective.
They were not trying to kill him. They wanted the people clinging to him to remain behind.
Zhou Tong's enormous eyes shifted slightly as he looked at the people he had dragged beneath the sea.
One was a woman with long fiery-red hair, incomparably bewitching. Clad in crimson-gold armor, she was a peerless beauty—gorgeous and seductive. There was also a man with a head of brilliant golden hair. He resembled a sun god, possessing the holiest of temperaments.
"They look familiar. I seem to have seen them in Cao Yusheng's memories!" Zhou Tong could not help recalling the scene when he had used the Reincarnation Mirror on Duan De.
