âYing brothers, well done!â Meng She bellowed out, he crouched and lowered his body, springing himself up into the air and clawing over at the plummeting Zhong Yue!
âNow come down and die!â
Just as his hands were about to land on his target, Zhong Yueâs charred figured suddenly moved and Jiao Dragons emerged to barely help him slip past under Meng Sheâs attack.
âãMillion Miles The Dragon Soarsã!â
Zhong Yue soared in the air as if he was swimming, bolting towards Gu Xia City.
âHow are you not severely wounded under the lightning strike?â
Meng She missed his target, and his heart shuddered. All of a sudden, he clenched his palm into a fist and punched over, the power of the ãMountain Quaking Godly Fistã was unleashed and blasted the air, compressing them into a dense shockwave that impacted onto Zhong Yueâs back!
Quickly, Zhong Yue turned around and took the blow, his body swayed violently before falling to the ground, with blood spurting out from his mouth. But as he was descending, he immediately bounced back up and dashed towards Gu Xia City.
Meng She bellowed in anger, trying to stomp onto the air and chase after Zhong Yue, but his body was too heavy, he could not stop himself from falling down from the air. And just as he plummeted down, Meng Xiang leaped into the air from the other side, his psyche curled on the stone pillars and came closer to Zhong Yue!
âLittle brother Xiang, come back! You are no match for him!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meng Sheâs face changed drastically, he quickly shouted, âYing brothers, quickly catch up to that Long Yue brat!â
Meanwhile, the Ying Ji and Ying Bai brothers were as dead as coal. They fell down from the sky with their charred bodies, immobile as black fumes and blood was constantly released out of them. Clearly, they had suffered injuries a few fold more severe than Zhong Yue!
The Yuan Shen was also the atman; they were inherently Yin in nature whereas lightning was Yang in nature. Yin and Yang co-existed together and hence, the lightning would naturally be attracted to strike them.
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the lightning one would attract, this was also the case as one flew higher in the sky. It could be said that even an overwhelming cultivator on par with magnates could not exit out of the atmosphere. This was because as the magnatesâ Yuan Shen were stronger, the lightnings they would attract would be immensely strong too!
Only when one ascended to the level of the gods, realigning the attribute of the Yuan Shen to pure Yang, could they avoid from getting struck by the lightning.
Ying Ji and Ying Bai were both cultivators that had their Yuan Shen opened to the Wu Xing Realm. Hence, the lightning they attracted was far stronger than Zhong Yueâs. A single strike of lightning had the potential to reap their lives!
Although Zhong Yue was also getting struck by the lightning, he had tempered his body and soul with lightning during his days in Swords Gate. Although the lightning that struck him was terrifyingly strong, the injuries they inflicted upon him were not as severe as Ying Ji and Ying Bai.
And as of now, the two Ying brothers were struck into a swoon by the lightnings, they could not even defend themselves, let alone flying over to save Meng Xiang.
Meng Xiang mustered his strength and dashed over, gradually increasing his speed, leaving a thunderous boom in his wake. Sure enough, he could not hear the Meng Sheâs shouts behind him. And it was this moment that seven strands of sword silk emerged consecutively in front of him, positioned vertically upright and looking like thin cicadaâs wings.
Meng Xiangâs speed was ghostly and in his dash towards Zhong Yue, he was left with no time to react as he passed straight through the sword silks.
His figure maintained his incredible speed, but slowly, he was split into eight pieces. Each of the pieces continued flying forward for another mile before collapsing down onto the ground. Meanwhile, the stone pillars that were manipulated by his psyche also fell from the sky with the death of its controller.
The seven sword silks flew up inconspicuously and bolted back towards the fast running Zhong Yue before disappearing into his body.
âLittle Brother Xiang!â
Meng She shouted out loud, he leaped incessantly into the air as if he was flying, trying to catch up towards Zhong Yue. His speed was faster than Meng Xiang and his prowess was stronger. Against him, Zhong Yue knew that the sword silks would not work nearly as well as they did against Meng Xiang. Hence, he put his head forward and ran with all his might, trying to step into the territorial land of the Gu Xia City before Meng Xiang up to him.
The boundary tablet between the Savanna Wasteland and Gu Xia City was getting closer, and so was the distance between Meng She and Zhong Yue. Finally, Zhong Yue rushed past the boundary tablet into the Gu Xia City territorial land. He turned around and looked back, Meng She had leaped up high into the air, smashing down like a small mountain right at him. Immediately, his countenance changed, he visualized the Golden Crow wings and bolted into the sky!
âDo you think you can just run away after killing my Little Brother Xiang?â
Meng She growled in anger, he punched out his fist and instantly, golden feathers scattered in the air. Zhong Yue muffled a deep groan as his Golden Crow wings were blasted off, and he fell down from the sky uncontrollably.
Meng She took a step forward, the air beneath was blasted away with his every stomp. He soon reached a speed in the air that was no slower than his speed on the ground.
âCome down here, ãMountain Quaking Godly Fistã!â
Meng She roared and growled, mustering his strengths and running crazily. He launched one punch after another at Zhong Yue. The winds blasted by the punches compressed the air, disrupting the air beneath Zhong Yue causing him to miss the stomps as he got battered by the punches. He was forced to stop intermittently in order to defend himself against the blows of the ãMountain Quaking Godly Fistã.
âMeng She, come back!â
The Earth Dragon raised his head up and prompted loudly, âThat is the territorial land of City Lord Gu Hongzi, his prowess is incredibly strong. Youâll have to notify him before you enter his land to kill his lords!
âNotify my ass!â
Meng Sheâs eyes turned crimson red and he shouted furiously, âHe killed my Little Brother Xiang, Iâll avenge my brother! Whatâs with this Gu Hongzi, enraging me, Iâll kill him along together with this dragon!â
âYou are blinded by your hatred!â Earth Dragon stomped his feet, he wanted to enter Gu Hongziâs territorial land but he hesitated with worry.
In mid-air, Zhong Yue walked quickly, his body flickered about, but it could not stop his injuries from getting heavier. Soon, he could feel that his body was reaching its limit, and the wounds were still gradually increasing and getting heavier. The Martial Mastersâ flying combat skills were strong, but it placed a great strain on the bodyâs energy. It was simply impossible to continue walking through the air as he has been doing.
Especially when Meng Sheâs prowess was too overwhelming. The ãMountain Quaking Godly Fistã was dominant and filled with power, forcing him to delegate more than half of his attention on Meng She so that he would not be killed by his punches!
And it was improbable for him to cast the Golden Crow wings, the ãMountain Quaking Godly Fistã was too overbearing that it could shatter the wings into pieces with just one strike!
The disparity between him and Meng She was too great. Zhong Yue could still put up a fight against the Wu Xing Wheel experts, he could even contend against a strange and peculiar monster like Qing He. However, against a Wan Xiang Wheel expert like Meng She, Zhong Yue was definitely not a match!
It was impossible to fly in the air, nor was it feasible to travel underground. Meng Sheâs power was so overpowering that when the ãMountain Quaking Godly Fistã slammed on the ground, the impact transferred to the ground would be like a mountain that smashed on his body - it was simply unbearable.
Running on the ground would not work either, his body was mountainous, he could leap on the ground as if he was flying, a single leap would be equal to Zhong Yueâs tens of steps. Surely, outrunning him on the ground would be impossible!
Hence for now, Zhong Yue could only drag the time while he rushed towards Gu Xia City with all his might. or otherwise, the raged mongoose would kill him here!
âFrom the start of my cultivation until now, Iâve been through so many things, how could I possibly die in the hands of a mongoose beast?â
Zhong Yue bellowed in anger, the Yuan Shen on his back emerged out and all of a sudden, the Ming King divine eye opened, bright golden lights irradiated from the sun pupil while the Pure Yang Qi turned into a fine light ray slashing down!
The light ray was incredibly strong, Zhong Yue once used the Ming King Divine Eye to kill an Awakening Qi Practitioner that had opened the Wu Xing Wheel, exterminating his foe as if he was chopping vegetables.
The golden light ray slashed down, Meng She bellowed while his Wan Xiang Wheel emerged on his back, spinning rapidly and heavily to block the blow â Zheng! â a light metallic clanking sound could be heard as the two clashes together, and a crack soon appeared on the Wan Xiang Wheel.
Meng She was shocked, and all of a sudden, another light ray blasted over, Once again hitting the Wan Xiang Wheel and causing it to tremble. The crack was made deeper and spread further, almost snapping the Wan Xiang Wheel completely!
Such a strong divine eye, it is indeed the ãMonster God Ming King Artã. Sadly, your cultivation is too weak, you canât break off my Wan Xiang Wheel!
Just as he thought this , Zhong Yueâs Yuan Shenâs third eye â divine eye, opened again and blasted another light ray over at him!
Zhengââ
The Wan XIang Wheel shuddered vigorously, and was broken in half!
Meng She was greatly shocked. His blood essence was instantly disrupted as the Wan Xiang Wheel was broken. The Yuan Shen realm closed and shuddered his blood essence, causing him to spout out a mouthful of fresh blood. His once strong and overbearing prowess immediately declined, weakening to the level of Wu Xing Wheel Awakening!
Whether it was the Wan Xiang Wheel or Wu Xing Wheel, they were all attained by opening the wheel-shaped realms in the Yuan Shen astral body. When the Wan Xiang Wheel was cast, it meant that the Wan Xiang Realm was opened, bequeathing the mighty power of nature onto the user!
And now, his Wan Xiang Wheel was slashed in half, causing the Wan Xiang Realm in his Yuan Shen astral body to close, robbing him that profound power; leaving him with only the Wu Xing Realm!
His divine third eye is stronger than any others before this, it was even able to impair my cultivation by a small cultivation level!
Meng Sheâs heart shuddered as his mortal bodyâs strength declined rapidly. He thought, Before this battle, he had never cast these three divine eyes before, it can only mean that these three kinds of divine eyes consume a great amount of energy. But now that his life is at stake, he was left with no other option for survival!
Just as he was thinking about this, Zhong Yue staggered in the air, falling down from the sky before bolting away on the ground with all his might on the ground!
Meng She quickly caught up to him, although his cultivation base was impaired by a minor realm, he was still an Awakening Qi Practitioner that had opened the Wu Xing Wheel. On the other hand, Zhong Yue was now exhausted and debilitate, how could he possibly still put up a fight against Meng She?
âDie, you fool!â
Meng Sheâs speed was immense, closing in on Zhong Yue with haste. The two of them soon became locked in combat and their rapid movements were imperceptible to the naked eye. Very soon, Zhong Yue was sent flying by a punch, muffling a deep groan in pain with blood oozing from his mouth.
Meng She guffawed loud, he leaped up and followed right behind Zhong Yue. Just as he was about to slay his brotherâs murderer with his mighty fist, a surge of overbearing aura billowed through the air. Abruptly, Meng Sheâs vision blurred and a young man appeared a step behind Zhong Yue. His stature was slim and slender, with a youthful and elegant look. And yet, the aura he carried was wild and overpowering. Raising his hand, he held onto Zhong Yue, and with a wave of his sleeves, Zhong Yue was pulled to his back.
âGu Hongzi!â
Meng She quickly stood down and his eyes became suffused with vigilance. He bowed in greeting, âMeng She of the Meng family, greets City Lord Gu Hongzi!â
Gu Hongzi raised his brows, En, giving an indistinct sound in response. Meng She then mustered his courage and said, âPlease, I plead City Lord Gu Hongzi to hand over Long Yue. Long Yue is a reprehensible criminal that had committed a monstrous sin. He killed my brother and killed over hundreds of innocent monsters in the saint cityâ¦â
âSaint city lordâs closed door disciple, you want to kill him? Your ill-intentions brings you nothing, but only death.â
Gu Hongzi lifted a finger up and instantly, a blood hole appeared on Meng Sheâs forehead. His eyes became filled in disbelief. Gu Hongzi was too quick, he wasnât even able to react in time before his untimely demise!
âFurthermore, the saint city lordâs closed door disciple is also one of the lords under my jurisdiction. Killing my lord under my watch, you are being too presumptuous. Do you agree with me, Senior Martial Brother Lang?â
After Gu Hongzi killed Meng She with the lift of finger, he then raised his head and gazed into the air. A laughter suddenly emanated out from mid-air, and the voice grew increasing distant, âTrue, true. Meng She has committed a riot. How dare he hunt for Junior Martial Brother Long, he deserves death. Thankfully Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi is here, or otherwise, there wouldâve been a great misfortuneâ¦â
Lang Qinyunâs speed was immense, leaving behind only his voice.
âLittle brat.â
Gu Hongzi recollected his sights and cast his gaze over at Zhong Yue, showing a seemingly smiling expression on his elegant countenance, âItâs not so easy being a spy in the monster race, isn't it ⦠Junior Martial Brother Zhong?â
âYou, youâ¦â Zhong Yue was stunned speechless as he stared at him dumbfoundedly.
