Chapter 179 - Let Me Tell You A Secret

“If the【 Sword Seven Style】 could not deal any damage to you, then what if I add another two Sword Qi? 【 Sword Nine Style】!”

In the secret realm, Zhong Yue moved at ghostly speed and as he ran, he pointed out his fingers and one after another, sword silk slithered like snakes in the air and flew into the dust storm. Those were the nine Sword Qi that formed the【Sword Nine Style】in the 【Sixty Four Style Sword Cocoon】and they enshrouded Xiao Qin who was trapped in the dust storm. The two extra Sword Qi added by Zhong Yue was his Yin & Yang Qi that he cultivated into Sword Qi.

Previously, he was suppressed by Xiao Qin as he did not know the technique of using the power of the five great secret realm, which prevented him from retaliating. But after he managed to learn the technique by interpreting on the movements of Xiao Qin, he immediately gained the technique and thus, ultimately suppressed Xiao Qin.

Other than that, he also had the precious knowledge possessed by a paragon of the monster race on the various secret realms of the Awakening level Qi Practitioners – which was the insights of the current generation Saint City Lord, Shi Buyi!

And it was the knowledge and insights of Shi Buyi that allowed him to unleash great power with a lower cultivation base, thus, allowing him to turn the tables and suppress Xiao Qin!

As soon as the【Sword Nine Style】was formed, the rocks, walls and bricks crumbled before they were cut into pieces by the Sword Qi and blood could be seen flowing out from the debris faintly.

The Xiao Qin’s two heads roared and the ground trembled as the lady burrowed underground to evade the【Sword Nine Style】.

The nine Sword Qi followed behind her and they maintained the formation of 【Sword Nine Style】sword array. However, Xiao Qin managed to shake off the pursuing Sword Qi as the sword array was unable to operate efficiently underground.

Zhong Yue on the other hand, dashed forward and he launched a golden Sword Qi rain onto the ground in front of him with the golden wings that appeared behind his back, just like two giant golden turbines operating at maximum speed. The golden Sword Qi then cut the ground open before flying straight towards Xiao Qin!

The ground that was ripped apart by the Sword Qi was burnt by the heat contained in the Golden Crow Wings, even beginning to show signs of melting!

Zhong Yue then continued to pursue the escaping Xiao Qin and as he continued to swing his wings, he demolished the celestial temples and celestial palaces in his path. Wherever he went, the buildings collapsed and shattered!

With Zhong Yue high frequency barrage, Xiao Qin’s path of retreat was completely cut off by the【Sword Nine Style】’s sword array and the sword feather launched by Zhong Yue’s Golden Crow Wings, leaving her no choice but to continue advancing.

Finally, she flew out from the ground and she took on the golden sword feathers directly as soon as she flew out. As she tried to withstand the attacks with her fleshly body, she suffered countless sword wounds, causing her blood to gush out from the open wounds. Following right after the sword feathers was the sword array formed by the 【Sword Nine Style】!

The golden sword feathers and the【Sword Nine Style】ripped her flesh apart and left heavy injuries on her body but fortunately for her, she was strong enough and with her five great secret realms, she managed to regenerate herself quickly, preventing the Sword Qi from threatening her life.

“【Celestial Moon Howling Art】’s 【Moon Howling】!”

Behind her back, the three Pan Ao head of her Yuan Shen roared and three moons flew out from the huge mouths of these Pan Ao before the three moons shot towards Zhong Yue.

One of the heads howled towards the moon and a moon clashed with the sword feathers, the second head howled to the moon and disrupted the channeling of【Sword Nine Style】.

Zhong Yue was shocked and he raised up his hands as the third Pan Ao head howled at the moon and released tremendous sound waves that pushed Zhong Yue backwards and caused his breath to become haggard. As the sound waves pushed Zhong Yue backwards, they destroyed everything they came in contact with, sending bricks flying everywhere and creating a huge pothole!

After the three howls, Zhong Yue had been pushed back a few hundred miles and the sound waves blew away the roof of the palaces while tearing those palace apart!

Whereas for Zhong Yue, his hands were hit so badly that his skin became flayed to expose the naked flesh beneath!

“The Combat Yuan Shen of the Xiao Mang celestial race lives up to their fame!” praised the countless Qi Practitioners observing the battle outside of the secret realm.

Xiao Qin stood in the air and she reached her hands to her chest and pulled out her head before twisting the bloodied head and fixing the dislocated neck bone.

Zhong Yue regained his balance as well and they stared at each other from afar, each of them no longer taking the other lightly.

A decent opponent.

That was the same thought that appeared in their minds as they stared at each other.

However, as compared to Zhong Yue, Xiao Qin suffered heavier injuries as Zhong Yue checked the toughness of the walls of the celestial temples and palaces and the ground as well. Therefore, he had taken the toughness of the surrounding into account as he took on the attacks of Xiao Qin bravely, preventing himself from suffering heavy damage.

Xiao Qin, on the other side, never bothered to check her surroundings at all due to her hubris. A few moments ago when she burrowed underneath the ground, she invariably placed herself at a disadvantage and she was almost nailed to death in the underground when Zhong Yue launched his golden sword qi attacks.

When there was a decent challenge, those who were more observant, careful and calm would definitely suffer less injuries and gain the upper hand.

Too bad I couldn't use the 【Monster God Ming King’s Art】 or the Fang Blade lest I expose my identity as Long Yue. I cannot summon my moon spirit as well or the Xiao Mang Celestial Race would immediately know that I killed Xiao Chuqing.

Zhong Yue squinted his eyes as these thoughts ran through his mind. Unlike the other skills and spirits, he could freely use the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen as he wished. Someone in the Swords Gate had already long suspected that he possessed the Innate Sun Spirit Body and had obtained the spirit of the Golden Crow, something that would have been difficult to hide from the eyes and ears the celestial races.

It is slightly difficult to kill this woman with her incredibly strong body physique with these handicaps, especially with not being able to use the【Monster God Ming King’s Art】, the Fang Blade, and the moon spirit. But … at least this way there is at least some challenge!

Zhong Yue shouted and the wings of the Yuan Shen expanded while the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen stimulated the five great Yuan Shen secret realm, unleashing the full potential of his Combat Yuan Shen!

“Senior Martial Sister Xiao Qin, Xiao Chuqing and Xiao Chuwen’s names all had the word “Chu” in it while you and Xiao Shan do not. I wonder if this could be a symbol between the differences of your positions in your race?” said a laughing Zhong Yue.

Xiao Qin stared at the Great Sun Golden Crow behind the back of Zhong Yue as the five wheels spun, something that only occurs only when the five great secret realms were operated to maximum power.

She too, needed some time to regain her bearings and so she replied, “Those who bear the name of ‘Chu’ were born in the noble families, except that their bloodlines were slightly impure. Other than that, there are also those with the name of ‘Xian’ in between their names. These would be the pure-blood descendants of the high priest.”

“With that said, Xiao Chuqing must have come from a noble family?”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, “Which makes me even more curious is which figure of your race she is the daughter of. Care to enlighten me?”

“Are you trying to bait me into tell you something?”

Xiao Qin’s heart thumped and the Great Sun Golden Crow behind Zhong Yue’s back flapped its wings and flew towards Xiao Qin in a blazing fire. At the same time, Zhong Yue dashed forward at high speed that was nowhere slower than the Great Sun Golden Crow!

As soon as her mind was shaken by Zhong Yue, she had invariably started to expose some openings. She was a celestial race with a tenacious will akin to an unshakeable mountain, but as she almost exposed the secrets related to Xiao Chuqing, along with Zhong Yue’s unstoppable aura that felt like it could topple mountains and trample anything in his paths, Xiao Qin’s will was greatly shaken, giving Zhong Yue the chance he needed!

A battle of words may not be a decisive factor to a battle but it could often be used in order to gain the upper hand!

Zhong Yue’s movement broke through the sound barrier and as it got faster and faster, his movements had reached a speed twice that of the speed of sound as he dangerously neared his opponent!

Before they clashed, their aura had already come in contact, begetting an ear-rending noise and calling forth a vicious rogue wind that was concomitant with their collision. Xiao Qin immediately felt her aura immediately trampled by Zhong Yue as it was on the verge of shattering!

And if one’s battle aura was lost, their will would be shaken, only engendering a fear which would ultimately restrain one’s full potential!

“【Celestial Moon Howling Art】’s 【Moon Howling】!”

Behind Xiao Qin’s back, the Pan Ao Yuan Shen rode on the cloud as it ascended into the air before it opened up its mouths, spitting out three moons that shot towards the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen.

“【Unlimited Great Sun】! 【Dance of The Fiery Dragons】!”

The Great Sun Golden Crow cawed loudly and scorching sun fire was created. The blazing fire was just like a huge sun and in the sun there were huge fiery dragons mutilating the three moons.

The Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen flapped its wings again like a living Golden Crow of the sun, blasting the three moons into the huge sun. This allowed the fiery dragons to slither and wrap the moons in between their bodies while they resisted the power of the【Moon Howling】.

The Great Sun Golden Crow then reached out its claws and crushed the moons into dust before it dived towards the Pan Ao Yuan Shen on the ground along with the dancing fiery dragons.

The Pan Ao Yuan Shen roared and jumped into the huge sun before it fought fiercely with the Golden Crow. The three heads of the Pan Ao roared non stop and as the five wheels of the Pan Ao spun, it unleashed barrage of skills that fended off the circling fiery dragons.

At the same time, Zhong Yue arrived and as he flapped his Golden Crow wings, eye-dazzling sword feathers shot out towards Xiao Qin!

She quickly moved backwards and one of her heads shouted, creating layers of walls that rose out of the ground. With every step backwards that she took, a wall would be erected out from the ground. As she continued her backwards retreat, she left behind a layer of walls in her wake, each of them completely covered with the totem carvings of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race.

In an instant, a few ten walls stood in between her and Zhong Yue.

Boom boom boom——-

Suddenly, these walls shattered and Zhong Yue could be seen charging through these walls without slowing down. In the air were countless fiery red sword feathers that flew over the walls before they shot towards Xiao Qin!

By now, the broken dragon scales on Xiao Qin’s skin had regenerated completely and when the sword feathers shot towards her, Xiao Qin’s three heads continuously and adroitly cast skills to fend off the lethal sword feathers as she kept on creating walls as she back off.

Her strength was indeed very powerful as when her aura was completely being overwhelmed by Zhong Yue, she still managed to display a high level of combat proficiency that defended her thoroughly. With that, she was waiting to launch a counterattack at the time Zhong Yue’s aura waned!

Xiao Qin thought as she waited, He will be tired after this round of rapid attacks, his strength would be depleted after being unable to defeat me with this barrage. With that, it would then be my time for attack!

With her three heads, she possessed an overwhelming advantage that allowed her to cast her spells three times faster than normal Qi Practitioners. As such, no matter how wild and strong Zhong Yue’s attacks were, she would still be able to fend them off completely!

“【Sword Nine Style】!”

Nine sword silks arrived quickly and shot towards Xiao Qin as soon as Zhong Yue shouted!

Xiao Qin shouted and she used the power of her five wheels to suppress the five elemental Sword Qi in the【Sword Nine Style】, leaving only four more sword silks that then transformed into the【Fourth Sword Style】. Albeit it posed as a lesser threat than the【Sword Nine Style】.

“Haha, Senior Martial Sister Xiao Qin, who is the legitimate father of Xiao Chuqing? He must be a huge figure among your race right? You even became quite rattled upon hearing me even slightly allude to him, allowing me to gain the upper hand in this battle.”

Zhong Yue continued on breaking walls continuously as his voice continued to invade Xiao QIn’s ears from behind the phalanx of walls. He then said again, “The only one huge figure in your race that is capable of this kind of reaction from you can only be the high priest! So I guess Xiao Chuqing is the daughter of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race’s high priest then!”

Xiao Qin’s heart clenched strongly just prior to the wall right in front of her suddenly shattering like the rolling back of a curtain to reveal Zhong Yue’s figure landing right in front of her like an imperious God of War!

He slashed his hand that was covered in energy towards her neck with a cold expression. As he swung his hand, the five elemental Sword Qi that was suppressed by Xiao Qin returned to his hand.

“Let me tell you another secret.”

The five Sword Qi merged together and turned into a Sword Qi illuminating bright light and he said to Xiao Qin who was trying her best to evade Zhong Yue, “It was I who killed Xiao Chuqing….”

The Xiao Qin became shell-shocked and her mind went blank as soon as she heard Zhong Yue’s confession. She failed to regain her senses back in time at all!

Zhe——-

A head then flew up into the sky after having been brutally sliced away by Zhong Yue!
