A deep voice cut through the quiet air. "Judging from your attitude, it seems that you don't want to talk about the alliance any more." Zen tightened his grip on Lawler's wing and coldly added, "Or do you think that I'm a human, who doesn't have the strength or qualifications?"
After Zen said those words, his vice-like grip on Lawler's wing became even more rigid.
"Whoosh..."
At that moment, a straight, thin red thread materialized and punctured Lawler's wing.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Everyone present heard the sound of the thin thread piercing through Lawler's wing, which was followed by countless rays of red light that floated atop the wing's surface.
"Splash..."
Then, the red light cut the wing into several pieces, which fell to the ground.
Manuel, who squatted somewhere not far away, also saw the scene. A chill ran down his spine.
He had heard Tearrag talk about this theurgy of Zen before. The theurgy let Zen cut bodies into pieces quickly with the help of blood streaks.
However, Manuel thought that he was much stronger than Tearrag, so he did not take Zen seriously.
Then again, Lawler was just as powerful as him, and Lawler could not defend himself in the slightest against Zen's red thread. Perhaps if he touched that red thread, he too, would be seriously injured.
"Lawler, I wonder if this strength could be considered powerful in your eyes?" Zen asked coldly.
When Zen uttered those words, both Lawler and the Grandmaster of Heaven were stunned.
After all, Lawler never thought that this human could hurt him.
On the other hand, such injuries naturally meant nothing to the Treacherous Being.
Lawler trembled slightly, and the Treacherous Being's body parts that fell to the ground jumped up one by one. Then, they quickly stuck to each other until they returned to their previous shape.
"You surprised me," Lawler muttered, the arrogance in his eyes completely gone now.
Zen's attack was like a waterfall that splashed straight into his heart and cleared his mind.
Indeed, both the Monkey Spirit King and the Great Ape King were not stupid. There was certainly a reason they supported Zen so much!
"Let's continue to talk about the alliance," Zen calmly stated.
"Didn't you just refuse?" Lawler said in surprise.
"That's because your condition is not right," Zen said with a shake of his head.
"What do you want?"
When the Grandmaster of Heaven heard Lawler ask such a question, he could not help but sigh inwardly.
Although Lawler was powerful, he did not know how to negotiate.
He had been quite arrogant to the humans ever since the beginning, but Zen had managed to get some information out of him. He had revealed that the Bird Spirit King was currently in an unfavorable situation and that they could not get the upper hand if they did things recklessly.
If he asked Zen what he wanted now, then Zen would surely demand many benefits.
"The condition for this alliance to take place is that all the members of the Bird Spirit Sect must obey my orders," Zen answered.
Lawler's anger, which he had restrained, rose again.
This human being did make him exceptionally mad!
"You even want our Bird Spirit Sect to obey your orders! Does the Monkey Spirit Sect also listen to you?" he screeched, his high-pitched voice laced with grief and resentment.
He said these words to the Great Ape King.
Yet, Manuel only said, "It's okay to listen to him. That's what our king said..."
The monkey spirits also weren't good at strategy, so they just handed over the tasks that required such a skill to this group of humans.
When Lawler knew about it, he felt even more enraged. Was this really the once invincible Monkey Spirit Sect?
Disheartened, he turned around to leave, but in reality, he could not leave like this.
