Chapter 387 - Arrogant and Overbearing
The Ghost Sword was a magnate soul weapon, and horrifyingly powerful. When the Qi Practitioner swung the sword, ghostly cries could be heard as countless evil spirits flew out from the sword, forming shockwaves filled with hatred that impacted Zhong Yue and the three ladies!
As he swung the sword, their surroundings were immediately shrouded in shadows as the evil spirits set loose rampaged in the streets, covering the area with their hatred.
Zhong Yue felt that his Yuan Shen was being slowly corroded and paralyzed by these sinful spirits with their immense hatred. The soul weapon was just way too scary, being able to lock someone’s Yuan Shen down with these spirits and prohibiting them from performing Atman Body As One and using his or her energy!
Weng——
The hologram of the Sui Sovereign appeared behind him suddenly, illuminated by colorful rays and prayers could be heard as if there were millions of people paying homage at the same time, lighting up the area and immediately purging the evil spirits.
After Zhong Yue freed himself, the Nu Wa hologram appeared behind Qiu Jin’er as well, freeing her and allowed her to use her sealed abilities.
On the other hand, an immense energized red thunderbolt shrouded in blazing red rays struck the back of Chi Xue’s head, driving right into her psyche ocean and freeing her from the soul weapon’s seals.
Jun Sixie just stood still and did nothing, for the Ghost Sword might be a magnate soul weapon, but the Heavenly Dharma level Shan Shen Celestial Race’s Qi Practitioner’s strength was nowhere close to hers. Hence, before the evil spirits could even get near her, they were destroyed by her even when she did nothing at all.
The Ghost Sword stabbed right towards the forehead of Zhong Yue at lightning speed. At the same time, the Ghost Head Banner appeared behind them, opening up Hell’s Gate. Evil spirits from Hell instantly reached their hands towards Zhong Yue and the three ladies!
The people of the Shan Shen Celestial Race had made a very good plan. First, they attacked on the street with the Ghost Sword to blur the senses of ZHong Yue. With that, they would increase their chances, and if Zhong Yue managed to avoid the first attack, the second attacker from behind would launch another attack with the Ghost Head Banner!
Completely enraged, Zhong Yue turned around, enlarged his Golden Feathery Peng Sword, and sliced apart the Ghost Sword and the hand holding the sword!
“Die!” shouted Zhong Yue. He turned into a thirty-six foot tall giant and swung the enlarged Golden Feathery Peng Sword towards the Hell’s Gate fiercely!
Along with the Gell’s Gate, the Ghost Head Banner was struck apart and blood could be seen spilling out behind the Gate. A Shan Shen Qi Practitioner with only one arm appeared from between the cracks of the Gate.
The Qi Practitioner was in extreme shock as after having his right arm cut off by Zhong Yue on the Martial God Stage, and the palm of his left hand that wielded the banner had also been severed!
Right now, there was no hand on his left arm, and his right hand was a beast’s limb.
Clearly, this Qi Practitioner had not cultivated any techniques similar to the immortal body technique that allowed him to regrow his severed limbs, so he could only replace his severed right arm with the limb of a powerful beast.
However, this was only because he had no options left. If he remained single-armed, his strength would be greatly affected.
But the beast limb was not his own arm after all, so he had used his left arm to wield the banner. Little did he know that his hand would be cut off by Zhong Yue!
Shua——
Zhong Yue’s hair then extended and shot out, piercing through the body of that Qi Practitioner.
“【Sword Sixty Four Style】!”
The【Sword Sixty Four Style】was then cast by Zhong Yue with his hair. This【Sword Sixty Four Style】cast by him was not the one taught to him by Shui Zian. This【Sword Sixty Four Style】was merely a slightly inferior replica of Shui Zian’s【Sword Sixty Four Style】after Zhong Yue merged his【Great Boundless Sword Qi】into it.
In just a blink of an eye, wild energy surged within the body of the Shan Shen Qi Practitioner. When the limit was reached, the energy exploded and crushed the body of the Qi Practitioner into dust!
Meanwhile, the other Shan Shen Qi Practitioner appeared behind Zhong Yue. His held his severed arm taht was still grabbing onto the Ghost Sword in his remaining arm, swinging his severed arm and the Ghost Sword towards Zhong Yue and stabbing into Zhong Yue’s chest.
The tip of the sword immediately came out from the other side of Zhong Yue, and blood splashed everywhere.
Although his hand was severed by Zhong Yue’s fast and decisive attack, he was still an extremely experienced magnate Qi Practitioner. When he saw Zhong Yue attack his companion with the Ghost Head Banner, he knew that this was his chance. He quickly acted and finally injured Zhong Yue.
The hatred in the Ghost Sword was immediately stimulated to its maximum as he surged the power of the Sword mindlessly into Zhong Yue, controlling his Yuan Shen and twisting the Ghost Sword in an attempt to crush Zhong Yue’s heart.
However, when he turned the Ghost Sword, Zhong Yue moved quickly in the same way, preventing his heart from being shattered. When he turned around, he quickly tore the other Shan Shen Qi Practitioner apart with his hair.
Even so, the damage inflicted on Zhong Yue was irreversible, as the sword and the power of the sword had already entered his body. When the horrifying energy from the sword ran wild in Zhong Yue’s body, his blood was tainted and the crimson gushing out from his body turned black. However, his Yuan Shen remained untouched and he reacted quickly by freeing and purging himself from the corrosive power of the sword with the Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen, rapidly decreasing the power of the Ghost Sword!
The Shan Shen Qi Practitioner was shocked by this abrupt turn of events. When he let go of his sword, he jetted backwards and vanished into thin air without leaving any traces.
As soon as the Qi Practitioner vanished, a gold and white ray that turned into a gold and white dragon in mid air shot out from Zhong Yue’s eyes and slithered through the air close to the ground.
Chi chi——
A soft noise was heard, and a pair of severed legs appeared on the ground!
Pained shrieds were heard as the Shan Shen Qi Practitioner appeared again, now without his legs as he quickly flew towards the Fiery Saint Palace.
Zhong Yue followed right behind him,and even before he got close to his foe, he turned into a three-legged golden crow and appeared above his foe.
The next moment, a loud explosive voice was heard as Zhong Yue breached the sound barrier and dove towards his foe with a speed far beyond his current level!
“Brat!” Xia Zhongjin shouted from the Fiery Saint Palace as he looked at Zhong Yue pursuing his foe. Xia Zhongjin rose into the air and said, “Zhong Yue, I’ve warned you not to do anything stupid previously, but you still did it regardless! I let you go once because of our relationship with senior martial brother Shui, but I will not tolerate your nonsense again!”
He then reached out his hands and grabbed towards Zhong Yue as he said, “No one will be able to protect you this time!”
At this time, Zhong Yue had already reached the back of the Shan Shen Qi Practitioner. From the Golden Crow form, he turned into the Fu Xi true form and plunged his sword towards Xia Zhongjin’s hand.
When the sword and the hand clashed, blood spilled everywhere as a huge wound appeared on Xia Zhongjin’s palm, exposing his bones. Xia Zhongjin had a shock, and quickly flicked the Golden Feathery Peng Sword away while Zhong Yue continued his pursuit.
Without any effort, Zhong Yue grabbed onto the head of the Shan Shen Qi Practitioner and slammed his foe’s head down!
The two fell from the skies, crashing into the Fiery Saint Palace while Zhong Yue continued pressing his foe’s head into the ground, immobilizing him as Zhong Yue landed a strong punch on the head of his foe!
Boom——
The walls of the palace exploded, collapsed and debris flew everywhere as the Shan Shen Qi Practitioner turned into a pile of meat!
“How dare you!” scolded Zhong Yue as he kicked the pile of meat away angrily.
In the air, Xia Zhongjin was both surprised and angered as he said, “Good, good… Zhong Yue, how dare you kill innocents in the sacred ground of our Zhong Li Celestial Race! I am not a member of the Xia Clan if I do not kill you today!”
Meanwhile, figures shrouded with terrific power could be seen flying up into the air from the Fiery Saint Palace. These people were here to observe the battle between Zhong Yue and Long Yue. They were the guests of the Zhong Li Celestial Race, and so were staying in the Fiery Saint Palace for the meantime.
They were all alarmed when Zhong Yue killed his foe, crushed the walls of the palace. After Xia Zhongjin spoke, they all immediately flew out from the palace to take a look.
After seeing so many strong individuals attracted here, Xia Zhongjin dared not simply kill Zhong Yue anymore, and quickly explained the situation to everyone.
Jiao Qingtu, Xia Chusheng, and the other young Qi Practitioners were all shocked when they heard from Xia Zhongjin that Zhong Yue had killed two Shan Shen Celestial Race Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners, and this had happened in the Fiery Capital’s Fiery Saint Palace! Zhong Yue even demolished the walls of the palace!
“Did Zhong Yue come here to fight Long Yue, or to slaughter people?”
Bai Canghai said softly, “He has yet to fight Long Yue, but he has already beaten up so many people from the other clans and now, he even killed two of them…”
The old man beside him then murmured, “Being able to possess power that could kill Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners when he is still at the Inner Core level. No wonder he could kill someone like Demon Saint, how come our Bai Zhe Clan has no such talented disciples?” The old man stared at Bai Canghai.
Bai Canghai on the other hand smirked and replied, “Teacher, could you kill a Heavenly Dharma level QI practitioner when you were just in the Inner Core level? If you can't, then I wouldn't be able to do it either.”
“Know who you are speaking to!” The old man was angered and landed a fist on top of Bai Canghai’s head, saying angrily, “Shut up! If your capabilities were like your crow’s mouth, then I would be able to die in peace!”
Bai Canghai immediately covered his head and tried to talk back, “It’s not that I couldn't do it, but my teacher was not smart enough to raise a disciple as strong as Zhong Yue...”
In the next moment, Bai Canghai was slammed into the ground by his teacher. His teacher stepped on his chest and murmured, “This time, Zhong Yue will be in hot water after killing the Shan Shen Qi Practitioners and embarrassing Xia Zhongjin….”
As they were talking, the people around all scolded Zhong Yue, requesting Xia Zhongjin kill Zhong Yue for the mistakes he made to ensure justice was done, everyone seemingly forgetting that it was the Shan Shen Celestial Race that had started the fight.
Zhong Yue however, remained expressionless and stood there quietly despite the people scolding him.
Xia Zhongjin said with a smirk, “Zhong Yue, I will execute you today for what you have done.”
“Shut up,” replied Zhong Yue in a very cold tone. Zhong Yue then said, “I assume that you will all die in peace if I kill every single person within Fiery Capital, then?”
The light wheels behind him rotated and a tiny wooden puppet flew into his hands, it was the Demon God Contracted Puppet!
The countless Qi Practitioners around looked at the tiny puppet and silence suddenly overwhelmed everyone.
“The Demon God Contracted Puppet?”
The old man stepping on Bai Canghai immediately said with a trembling tone, “Zhong Yue, did you use this puppet to summon the Demon God and sacrifice the eight clan masters of the demonic tribes? Please calm down, Zhong Yu! We Bai Zhe Clan have not offended you at all, please don’t act recklessly…”
