Zhao Ji: He's Getting Stronger and Stronger (Seeking Monthly Votes)

As if knowing that the two people in front of her had already guessed her identity, Mo Li became more and more brazen.

She clapped her hands, then deliberately looked at Qiu Tu with an adoring expression and said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so amazing."

"Seven God Kings, and two of them were Level Four God Kings, you just killed them."

She deliberately pointed at the last one to die, a Goddess King who had tried to seduce Qiu Tu on the road, and said, "That Goddess King even winked at you before she died."

"Don't you want to spare her life and show some mercy?"

At this point, she even deliberately said with a tone of regret, "I feel like if you had spared her life, it would have been very easy to get close to her."

Although Mo Li had never admitted that Zhao Ji was in her hands, from Mo Li's deliberate provocations and attempts to lure Qiu Tu into saying the wrong thing over the past two days, it could be seen that Zhao Ji was in her hands.

Moreover, not only was she in her hands, but she could likely see everything outside and hear their conversation.

Therefore, seeing Mo Li digging pits for him again, Qiu Tu glanced at her dismissively, and while cleaning up the battlefield, he said, "I'm not interested in getting close to her."

Seeing Qiu Tu deny it, Mo Li's eyes rolled, and she continued to press, "Do you mean you're not lustful anymore?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu picked up the corpse of the dark-skinned God King, casually threw it into the "Dimensional Space," and said casually, "No. I mean my tastes have gotten heavier."

"If I want to get close to her, I don't need her to be alive. It's the same when she's still warm."

Even though she had reached the end of the "Chaos Path" and witnessed too many chaotic phenomena and deeds, when Mo Li heard Qiu Tu's words, her brain couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

After a moment, she looked at Qiu Tu with a strange expression, then slowly uttered two words, "Pervert."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile and say, "This is considered perverted?"

"Then your 'Chaos Path' isn't chaotic either."

Mo Li snorted and said, "Yours is no longer within our 'Chaos' domain, but within the scope of 'Immortality'."

While the two were talking, Qiu Tu had already quickly cleaned up the scene.

Of course, he didn't take advantage of the warmth.

He was just deliberately disgusting Mo Li; he wasn't that perverted himself.

After putting the corpses and spoils of war into the "Dimensional Space," Qiu Tu didn't check them carefully. Instead, he looked in the direction of "Chaos West Capital" and said, "Let's go. A fight has already broken out over there, and they should have no time to worry about us. We can go and see."

At this moment, hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing E, who had just recovered, seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of realization appeared on her face.

She said, "So... you've been delaying time, waiting until now, to wait for 'Chaos West Capital' and the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' to fight?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu flew towards "Chaos West Capital" and replied, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I be idle and accompany them on such a long journey."

Speaking of which, Qiu Tu pointed at the explosion area in the distance and casually explained, "Currently, in the entire 'West,' the strongest among the Six Great Paths is undoubtedly the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb'."

With the three giants gathered and most of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb's' fighting strength mobilized, their power is terrifying. All the major paths have to avoid their sharp edge.

"With just a few of us, we wouldn't even make a ripple if we clashed head-on. We can only take a circuitous route."

"'Chaos West Capital' has a huge gap in strength compared to the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb,' but this is the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb's' first battle in the West."

"To achieve a triumphant opening, they will definitely deploy their elites and concentrate their forces."

"At such a time, it will be difficult for them to pay attention to us, and we can seize this opportunity."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing E, who was flying with Qiu Tu towards "Chaos West Capital," nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

This was exactly the same as her guess.

And while they were talking, Mo Li, who was flying behind them, also showed a hint of realization in her eyes.

No wonder Qiu Tu had wasted time and run so far; he had this plan in mind.

This way, it would indeed be much safer.

And at this moment, just as Mo Li was thinking this, Qing E asked another question.

However, this time, she clearly considered her words before lifting her beautiful swan-like neck and asking, "Lord Qiu Tu... if the remaining few God Kings from before had obediently listened and really stayed on the ground, would you have let them go?"

Qiu Tu, flying towards "Chaos West Capital," glanced at Qing E beside him when he heard her words, but he didn't speak.

However, his silence was the best answer.

Qing E's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of understanding.

However, what she didn't know was that after she asked this question, Qiu Tu was still thinking to himself:

'How could I let those God Kings go.'

'Let alone them, if it weren't for my relationship with you becoming closer, and not being able to defeat Mo Li, I would have wanted to silence both of you.'

This instant kill of seven God Kings actually exposed many details of Qiu Tu's trump cards.

For example, whoever he transformed into, he would only possess that person's abilities. And if he wanted to use his own abilities, he could only revert to his original form.

— He had reverted to his true form before using his abilities.

For example, he possessed the ability to instantly kill opponents of a higher level. And without even touching them, the opponent couldn't even defend themselves.

For example... his abilities clearly consumed a lot of energy, and the consumption was directly proportional to the opponent's strength and resistance.

— Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to trick those God Kings into giving up their resistance and lying on the ground when he could have instantly killed them.

In this world, special abilities are essentially the foundation of all disaster-stricken beings.

Once their abilities are understood, it becomes easy for others to set targeted traps and cause them to fall hard.

Hasn't Qiu Tu relied on these kinds of targeted strategies to contend with powerful enemies throughout his years?

Furthermore, the eyes and memories of God Kings are like video recorders; even after many years, they can be directly accessed, analyzed, and understood. This kind of threat can essentially last a lifetime.

Therefore, after going into a killing frenzy upon taking down seven God Kings, Qiu Tu genuinely felt the urge to silence everyone present.

Of course, after the impulse passed, Qiu Tu quickly dismissed the thought.

It wasn't because he considered Qing E and Mo Li as his own people, nor was it because he knew he was no match for Mo Li. It was because he had realized something:

As his strength, status, and fame grew, he would inevitably attract the attention of the various Paths. His information would definitely be collected and analyzed by the various factions within the Six Great Paths.

So, no matter how much he tried to conceal himself, most of his secrets would eventually be revealed.

This wasn't just Qiu Tu's path; it was how all the Guardian God Kings and High-Level God Kings who aimed for high positions had come.

Therefore, once one reached a certain level of strength, it was inevitable that their secrets would be uncovered.

This was the moment that tested a deity's "true quality."

If they could overcome this period, they would soar to unprecedented heights; if they couldn't, they would perish completely.

Upon understanding this, Qiu Tu realized that what he should be pursuing was no longer secrecy, but rather an overwhelming dominance that swept aside all opposition.

His strength was already sufficient: despite being only a Second Level God King, he could instantly kill a Fourth Level God King at the cost of some resources.

In terms of strength and talent, he had long since entered the ranks of the strongest on the entire Ancient Continent.

Moreover, due to the uniqueness of his Calamity Power, even if others deduced his abilities, it would be difficult for them to deal with him easily.

Therefore, from this point on, he needed to adopt a strongman's mentality, facing challenges head-on rather than hiding, and crushing them with overwhelming force.

With this thought, Qiu Tu's gaze became even more resolute.

Meanwhile, at the very moment Qiu Tu was contemplating this, Zhao Ji, located in the Chaos Realm, also cast her beautiful eyes upon Qiu Tu, her gaze slightly softened.

Qiu Tu's guess was correct; although Mo Li was in the Chaos Realm, she had allowed Zhao Ji to view the surrounding situation.

Thus, Zhao Ji had watched Qiu Tu's entire battle.

When she saw Qiu Tu slay seven God Kings with his bare hands, Zhao Ji was somewhat surprised.

After all, in her heart, while Qiu Tu had grown stronger and stronger, she hadn't thought he had reached this level.

Now, flying beside Mo Li and observing the gradual transformation of Qiu Tu's aura, her gaze couldn't help but become somewhat complex.

'He's getting stronger and stronger.'

With this thought, Zhao Ji's gaze slowly turned cold, and she looked in the direction of Chaos West Capital.

'I can't be left behind either.'

At that time, to maintain the facade and to stall for time, Qiu Tu and those seven God Kings had flown non-stop towards the outskirts of the "White Mist Area."

Now, as they flew back after resolving the situation, Qiu Tu realized just how far that distance was.

He, along with Mo Li and Qing E, flew for a full three hours before they finally returned to the outskirts of Chaos West Capital.

At this moment, the entire perimeter of Chaos West Capital was in disarray.

Camp tents were burned everywhere, fences were trampled, and flags fluttered in the gentle breeze.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu crouched down, carefully examined the tracks on the ground, and then stood up, speaking with a serious expression, "If I'm not mistaken, Shepherd Heart God King must have organized a surprise attack and assassination."

"Otherwise, the battlefield wouldn't have spread this far."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing E couldn't help but ask, "What was the outcome?"

Qiu Tu brushed the dirt off his hands and said indifferently, "With the strength currently displayed by the Immortal Path, unless several Chaos High-Level God Kings led by the Chaos Witch intervened, the outcome of this war was decided from the very beginning."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing E glanced at Mo Li.

But Mo Li acted as if she hadn't seen it, continuing to skip and wander through the ruins.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu beckoned to her and said, "Let's go. We're heading to Chaos West Capital now."

After speaking, he transformed into the Ghost Seal again and took the lead, flying towards the battlefield in Chaos West Capital.

At the same time.

On the front lines of Chaos West Capital.

Zi Ruo, the God King responsible for external intelligence for the Immortal Heavenly Tomb, was respectfully following behind a man whose face was covered with seven or eight yellow talismans, with only a single, large eye visible at the junctions of the talismans.

At their feet, two torrents clashed like roaring rivers, stirring up countless shouts and battle cries.

Looking down at the scene below, after a moment, Zi Ruo's expression froze slightly as if she had received some news.

The man beside her was clearly a sharp-minded individual.

Sensing her abnormality, the man with the talisman-covered face turned, glanced at her, and asked with his hands behind his back, "What happened?"

The man clearly knew Zi Ruo God King very well, so Zi Ruo God King dared not lie and instead frankly replied, "Reporting, Your Excellency. We just received a report from our subordinates. The God Kings we sent to the Mysterious Heaven have all fallen, except for one."

"What's more, the time intervals between their deaths were very short."

"It was as if someone had easily killed them with overwhelming force."

At this point, Zi Ruo God King lowered his head and said earnestly, "Someone with this kind of strength is most likely a High-Level God King."

The only one who could be addressed as 'Your Excellency' by Zi Ruo God King and follow him closely was the Earth Soul God King, one of the Immortal Three Giants.

Upon hearing Zi Ruo's words, the Earth Soul God King, with his hands behind his back, looked at the gods fighting below through the gaps in the talisman and slowly said, "A High-Level God King?"

"Could it be that those fellows from the Mystery Path are getting impatient and preparing to make a move?"

Thinking for a moment, the Earth Soul God King then said, "Send two more teams to monitor them."

"But be careful this time, keep your distance to avoid danger."

The Earth Soul God King paused and then commented, "Over the years, we've actually figured out most of the other Five Great Paths."

"Among them, the ones we fear most are not Order, not Destruction, and certainly not Chaos."

"It's Mystery."

"Everything about them is like a riddle, making them impossible to understand or see through."

"Therefore, one can never be too careful when dealing with them."

Hearing the Earth Soul God King's words, Zi Ruo quickly acknowledged, "Yes, Your Excellency." He then turned to make the arrangements.

Meanwhile.

Outside the white mist, at a temporary intelligence outpost of the Mystery Path.

Two figures in black robes walked into the vast white mist, one after the other.

Although they were walking slowly, for some reason, they disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Those three old guys from the Immortal faction actually didn't send anyone to keep an eye on us?"

Hearing the words of the black-robed figure in front, the one following behind casually replied, "Keep an eye on us? They'd have to be able to."
