"All soldiers, obey my command! Kill Zhou Lin at all costs!"
Just as the last of its heads vanished, Zu Long issued its final order.
The last emperor of his generation turned to dust.
Witnessing this, Elder Tang and Professor Lin were stunned. Yet, within a second of their shock, concern began to mount.
The skeletons that Zu Long had summoned would continue to follow its orders even after its disappearance.
They advanced towards Zhou Lin's position, one after another.
"Little friend Zhou Lin, run!"
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, the historian, and the biologist cried out in alarm.
These skeletons numbered at least ten thousand. If they all attacked at once, it would take time even to defeat them.
On the livestream:
"Damn, these skeletons are really obedient. They still listen even after this?"
"Holy crap, this is bullying! Ganging up on one person, that's too much."
"Can the big boss handle this alone? Can he defeat these skeletons?"
"Trust the big boss. Aren't there security personnel too? It should be fine."
"I'm just afraid bullets won't be enough."
...
The security personnel, seeing the situation, quickly intervened, and the deafening sound of gunfire filled the air.
However, even this was like a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, the skeletons, each wielding a bronze sword, charged towards Zhou Lin, giving him no chance to breathe.
Yet, even surrounded, Zhou Lin stood as firm as Mount Tai.
He calmly faced the skeletons, his bloodline surging, feeling an imminent urge to erupt.
Then, his eyes began to glow with golden light.
"Begone..."
Zhou Lin roared, and a powerful aura of righteousness instantly emanated from him. In that instant, the skeletons vanished, turning into ashes.
They didn't even amount to dust.
The security personnel and the archaeology students were wide-eyed with shock at this sight.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, the historian, the biologist, the Taoist priest, the Wolf King, and the others were at a loss for words to describe their inner feelings.
What had they just witnessed?
No, they had to recall. First, they had tied up the Black Dragon, then tricked Zu Long into destroying itself, and now, with a roar, it had dealt with these skeletons?
Damn it, Zhou Lin, how are you so capable?
Elder Tang instinctively clutched his chest, feeling a pain even worse than his previous backache. Was he sick? Or was he hallucinating?
"Professor Lin, are we seeing things?"
Elder Tang looked at the scene, still disbelieving.
"Elder Tang, you're not mistaken. This is real. Zhou Lin really did it with just a shout."
Professor Lin's gaze remained fixed on Zhou Lin, not daring to look away, and quickly explained.
The historian, the biologist, the Taoist priest, the Wolf King, and the others were equally dumbfounded. They stared at Zhou Lin, their lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word.
It was like a thunderclap, leaving them utterly shaken.
On the livestream:
"Holy crap, it's still my big boss! His eyes just changed color."
"Damn, you're right. I've seen eyes turn red before, but golden? This is the first time. I guess only my big boss can do this."
"Oh my god, it's still my big boss! Truly amazing. This is how you deal with malevolent spirits, only my big boss can do it."
"Of course. If he's second, who dares to be first? But I still have a small question in my mind. Uh, can you explain how the big boss did it?"
...
In the dean's conference room.
The dean, along with the previously indignant Professor Hu and Professor Wen, were all dumbfounded.
They stared at the scene before them in disbelief.
"What did I just say?"
Professor Hu looked at Zhou Lin in shock. Would he have time to apologize for his earlier remarks?
He was the foolish one. This Zhou Lin was truly a capable person.
Professor Wen had no mood to mock Professor Hu. Faced with this situation, he felt as if his chest had been violently struck.
Why was he having trouble breathing?
The dean's mind had gone blank, especially at the sight of Zhou Lin's eyes emitting golden light.
The metaphysics professor looked at Zhou Lin for a long time, and in the end, only one question remained in his mind.
Was Zu Long tricked to death by Zhou Lin's words?
It was completely tricked and cajoled to death!
Indeed, the pinnacle of metaphysics is deception.
At this moment, the internet in Great Xia was once again abuzz.
Huhu Shengwei App: Shocking!!! The dignified Zu Long, the greatest emperor in history, was successfully tricked to death by a novelist??
Han Dou Video: The novelist has revealed another magical artifact? Why did Zu Long turn to ashes the moment it was photographed??
Baike Baijia: The novelist unveils another ingenious move, defeating thousands of troops with one strike...
Xiao Ming Has Something to Say: The man who shocked the world strikes again. Where did the mysterious camera come from? Why did the novelist's eyes turn golden??
Netizens below the videos began to comment frantically.
"Oh my god, this is a truly capable man. If such a formidable figure had appeared during past wars, there would be no need for gunfire and bullets. Just a roar, and the battle would be over."
"Haha, that makes sense. But would the big boss agree? This thing is a malevolent spirit, I've never heard of Taoist priests going to battlefields."
"Speaking of which, can anyone explain this situation? Is the big boss angry? Why did his eyes turn golden? They look so cool!"
"Maybe they're colored contacts, but what I'm most concerned about is the big boss's camera. How did this camera become like this? It looks so cool."
"That camera looks very strange. Is it also a Taoist inheritance?"
"As a seasoned Taoist priest, I can tell you with certainty that this kind of object that looks very sinister is likely not a Taoist artifact."
...
Overseas.
Eagle Country:
"OMG, is this even human? How can there be such a man? He looks so handsome!"
"I don't know what kind of camera this is, that it could turn Zu Long into powder. How was it done? Can our Eagle Country's experts explain?"
"Explain what? We haven't even figured out this man's genes, how can we explain? Explanations would be useless."
Sakura Country:
"Hmph, it's just a zombie that was eliminated, what's so shocking about that? Our Sakura Country has countless ghosts and monsters, these zombies are not to be feared."
