Chapter 273 - Major Event
“Are you sure all of these are to prevent misunderstanding?”
Ao Shanshan did not know whether she should laugh or cry and she felt worried for Zhong Yue as what he did was very offensive. After all, the fame and reputation he built up after opening the five wheels in reverse as well as fighting his way out the West Barren had already spurred the dissatisfaction of many Qi Practitioners out there.
Other than that, after he got out from the West Barren, the celestial races of the West Barren put up a bounty on him and now, his bounty had spread all over, including the South Barren!
However, most of the Qi Practitioners were interested in him not because of the bounty but in the fact that he had succeeded in reverse opening the five wheels. Many have said he was on par with the first headmaster of Swords Gate in terms of talent.
The supposedly glorious West Barren did not have someone like that, and yet a mere human had managed to do that, not to mention the fact that he had managed to escape the pursuit of many powerful Qi Practitioners without fail. All of these achievements had built his fame and reputation throughout the West Barren!
Humans were the weakest among all races, the puniest of all! They were the food for everyone in the other barrens, and now, they were understandably discontent that they were shown up by mere food!
Along with the offensive words that Zhong Yue had uttered just now, Ao Shanshan could already imagine what was going to happen next.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were Senior Martial Brother Ao Fenglou's guests, he had asked me to attend to them, and if they were to be killed here, my name would be tainted.
Ao Shanshan then thought, Nothing could be done for this Zhong Yue anymore and saving him is beyond my capabilities. I could, however, save Qiu Jin'er, I believe that it shouldn't be too hard to save her….
As soon as she thought of this, the battle had already started.
Tuo Qianren was the first to attack. He roared before his Yuan Shen and body merged together to turn into a golden camel with two humps on his back. When he shrugged, the humps flew out and turned into two huge mountains that slammed towards Zhong Yue!
Then, the camel raised its legs with strange totem carvings on its hooves, kicking towards Zhong Yue.
Heng haa——-
Tuo Qianren blew his nose hardly, releasing two erosive black and white rays with rotten scent towards Zhong Yue.
His attacks were like the signal that triggered a chain reaction that lit up the atmosphere. The surrounding Qi Practitioners also started to move, and they all swarmed towards Zhong Yue!
“Why don’t you believe me when I said that all of you are weaklings? Do you want me to prove it?”
Zhong Yue laughed and shouted before he unleashed his power, creating an illusion where the skies started raining blood and wind carrying rotten scent started blowing. The five wheels emerged behind him, and the two black and white rays were stopped in front of him while the hump mountains shattered easily.
The hooves of Tuo Qianren did, however, landed on Zhong Yue's chest. But his chest glowed, and a huge bell appeared. Tuo Qianren's kick fell on the bell, releasing a loud sound; the power of his kick was nullified by the bell before it shattered!
If someone who entered the Ancestral Dragon Ritual were here, he or she would definitely recognize this technique that Zhong Yue used.
Back then in the Ancestral Dragon Secret Realm, the golden draconic statue once used techniques similar to that but with more than just a bell. There were a total of five instruments: a bell, drum, flute, zither, and lute.
When Zhong Yue saw it back then, he was in awe, and he kept trying to duplicate and refine these techniques that were used by the golden draconic statues. Among the techniques he had managed to replicate, he was most proficient in the【Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms】and he later on created other moves like the 【Thousand Dragon Walls】, 【Five Dragons Barrier】and other techniques derived from the【Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms】.
However, Zhong Yue could not use the【Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms】as this was the signature technique of his other identity, Long Yue. The bell he created with his psyche just now was the【Xuan Wu Golden Spirit Shield】with the Xuan Wu and Teng Snake wrapped around the bell.
As Tuo Qianren wanted to retreat, Sword Qi-like silk threads appeared and started coiling around his legs before proceeding up his entire body.
The sword silk threads then strangled him tightly, slicing him into near infinite meat cubes that rained all over the ground.
Meanwhile, the Qi Practitioners' attacks arrived, and Zhong Yue suddenly he leaped into the air, turning into a twenty feet long, Three Legged Golden Crow in on his ascent into the air.
As soon as he plunged into the air, a fiery red sun emerged from the ground before it ascended along with the Three Legged Golden Crow and exploded!
With the explosion of the fiery sun, scorching heat waves were created, and they struck the surroundings. The heat waves instantly clashed against the attacks of the other Qi Practitioners to create a reverberating shockwave that knocked everyone off balance.
Zhong Yue then landed on the ground and grabbed onto a Qi Practitioner with his three legs, but that Qi Practitioner's reaction speed as quite fast as he managed to turn into a twenty feet long demon god.
He then grabbed onto Zhong Yue's three feet and wanted to tear him apart.
However, at this time, Zhong Yue started applying even more strength, and the Qi Practitioner exploded into pieces before he could do anything to Zhong Yue.
The golden crow then swept its wings across the field, shooting feathers in all directions that then turned into fiery swords that flew towards the hostile Qi Practitioners. As the hostile Qi Practitioners all acted at once, preparing to fend off the flaming swords, these swords turned into sword silks that seeped through their defenses.
“Sword Cocoon Sword Silk Array!”
Panic spread among Zhong Yue enemies, and the hostile Qi Practitioners hurriedly did whatever they could to fend off the sword silks. Unfortunately, none of his enemies were hurt by the fiery swords as Zhong Yue had yet to thoroughly learn the entire technique, making it difficult for him to attack such a large number of enemies at once.
“ 【Five Fingers Mountain】!”
Zhong Yue then pressed his palms down, forming totem carvings that turned into five mountains, crushing a Qi Practitioner into a pile of meat. Meanwhile, others swarmed towards him, and one of them launched an attack that turned into a huge net that tried to immobilize Zhong Yue.
To his dismay, Zhong Yue shrunk and quickly slipped through the net before he returned to his original size. Zhong Yue then flicked his fingers, launching a seemingly infinite barrage of Sword Qi that turned the Qi Practitioner that created the net into a sieve.
Zhong Yue then turned small again, causing the Qi Practitioners to search for him frantically. He caught two of his enemies off guard and tore them apart as he suddenly returned to his original size again.
When the others approached him again, Zhong Yue once again turned small and turned into the Three Legged Golden Crow before he attacked them from behind.
With that, Zhong Yue displayed an extreme mastery of the Atman Body As One as he could easily enlarge and shrink his body at will, something that his opponents were unable to do.
“【Five Sound Rhythm】!”
Behind Zhong Yue's head, the five wheels rotated. They formed a drum, bell, flute, lute, and zither – a total of five instruments. Zhong Yue then played the instruments with his psyche, creating sound waves that made the Qi Practitioners surrounding him to lose their balance severely.
He then stimulated the Sword Cocoon Sword Silk Array, launching sinister threads that sliced the Qi Practitioners' bodies, turning them into pieces before he flew into the air and dived towards the Qi Practitioners under him. He grabbed them and proceeded to rip them apart methodically.
“Don’t be so cocky, Zhong Yue!”
Suddenly, a man could be seen running in the air as fast as lightning towards Zhong Yue. When Zhong Yue extended his claws towards the man, the man reached out his palms, nullifying Zhong Yue's strength before he slammed towards Zhong Yue to send him flying away!
This was out of Zhong Yue’s expectation as the Qi Practitioner’s physical strength was so strong as he managed to fling Zhong Yue away in close quarter combat.
“Martial Master?”
In the air, Zhong Yue flapped his wings and stopped his movements before he turned into a Three-Legged Celestial Being and said, "Are you from the Xia Family or the Zhurong family?"
The Martial Master remained silent while he charged towards Zhong Yue with a body even stronger than the Zhuqi Celestial Race, shrouded by countless fists and palms carvings and he smirked, “I am Xia Fengchu, a Martial Master from the Xia Family!”
Zhong Yue's eyes lit up, and he charged towards Xia Fengchu instantly. In an instant, two twenty-feet tall figures could be seen rushing back and forth through the air, hurling fists and kicks at each other at an incredible speed.
The speed of Xia Fengchu's attacks was so fast that Zhong Yue always kept on getting hit despite his best efforts to evade. Zhong Yue only managed to barely fend off Xia Fengchu's whirlwind-like attack after he used the Monster God Ming King True Body. This only went to show just how abominably fast Xia Fengchu's speed was.
Peng peng peng——-
In an instant, Zhong Yue lost count of the number of times Xia Fengchu hit him, but fortunately for him, Zhong Yue had reached the level where his body would automatically sense imminent threats and autonomously take defensive measures against these threats. This greatly helped Zhong Yue in making up his deficiencies in close-quarter combat.
The two then continued fighting in the air at their ghostly speed, exchanging countless blows each time they clashed with each other while creating deafening noises that rumbled the eardrums of those around them.
With Xia Fengchu keeping Zhong Yue busy, the other immobilized Qi Practitioners quickly recovered their balance, and they immediately flew up into the air.
"I am still experiencing the awe of the techniques from the Xia Family, you imbeciles, get lost from my sight!"
Zhong Yue suddenly turned around, launching two Sword Qi that depleted all of his Yin and Yang energy before the Sword Qi cut across the surroundings, slicing all the Qi Practitioners into halves. Before the corpses of the sliced Qi Practitioner could even touch the ground, Zhong Yue turned around and swung his Sword Qi towards the lucky prawns that previously escaped his attack, preventing them from escaping death by slicing them into half again!
"This is what happens if you disturb the fight between Brother Xia and me!"
"Something big happened!" The entire Fiery Capital was shaken, and countless Qi Practitioners rushed towards the lesser void world and got to the Lang Ya Board. Before they arrived at the board, there was already a Qi Practitioner there, and he looked at the board with an empty mind as a name shone brightly and started climbing up in rank crazily. The name was getting past one after another name ahead of it in crazy speed.
