Chapter 199 – You Lied
Zhu Jushan was very big in size but he moved in a speed that defied logic. Instead of his body greatly encumbering him, he attacked with lightning speed. He was truly the strongest Awakening level Qi Practitioner that Zhong Yue had encountered since entering this level as well!
All it took Zhu Jushan to corner him into a dire situation was a few seconds!
Other than that, the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen of Zhu Jushan lunged towards the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen of Zhong Yue and along with Zhu Jushan, the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen got close to Zhong Yue and prepared to kill him in a frontal assault!
With such ferocious and decisive attacks, no wonder Zhu Jushan was one of the top three Awakening level Qi Practitioners in the entire West Barren!The series of combos unleashed by Zhu Jushan shook the two spectators greatly and they couldn’t help but admire Zhu Jushan.
“Senior martial brother Zhu, you are not bad but what you are doing is just the same as hitting the rock with an egg!”
The Wu Xing Wheel behind the back of Zhong Yue’s Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen suddenly spun and released five Sword Qi that shot towards his front. The next moment, the five dragons created by Zhu Jushan were beheaded and Zhong Yue unshackled himself from the bindings of the dragons.
Zhu Jushan’s Yin Yang Sword slashed towards him but Zhong Yue evaded the attack as he flapped the Golden Crow Wings behind his back, releasing wind and fire that pushed him away. The Yin Yang Wheel of his Yuan Shen then suddenly rotated and unleashed the Yin Yang Sword Qi that shot towards his target while he said, “You used the Wu Xing Wheel and Yin Yang Wheel’s power to deal with me but little did you know that my Wu Xing Wheel and Yin Yang Wheel is much more superior than yours!”
“Stop bragging!”
Zhu Jushan laughed as he swung his dual swords in high speed towards Zhong Yue.
Zhe zhe zhe——-Their Sword Qi clashed together and Zhu Jushan had a shock as he saw his dual swords get shattered into pieces. Unlike Zhong Yue’s Sword Qi, he sought for larger and heavier Sword Qi when he cultivated while Zhong Yue opted for smaller and nimbler Sword Qi.
Not only that, Zhong Yue’s dual swords were not as simple as swords that were formed with the Yin and Yang energy, they were formed by pure Yin and Yang energy. With that, the quality of Zhong Yue’s dual swords were far better than Zhu Jushan’s!
Zhu Jushan then quickly evaded the attacks delivered by Zhong Yue after his swords shattered as Zhong Yue’s Sword Qi moved in the air like slithering snakes and each time they touched Zhu Jushan, his flesh would be cut off and the shields he created would immediately crumble from a single strike!
“【Five Dragons’ Shrouding】!”
Zhong Yue flew towards him and he opened up his palms, creating Wu Xing Sword Qi that turned into five ferocious dragons, each as long as forty feet and they surrounded Zhu Jushan. The five dragons were a golden, green, yellow, blue, and red. Each of whom were created by Gold, Wood, Earth, Water, and Fire Elemental Qi respectively!
As the five dragons surrounded Zhu Jushan, they used their sharp claws, strong bodies, huge scales, horrifying tails and big jaws to attack him!
Zhu Jushan roared continuously at the same time as he tried his best to evade the pure Yin Yang Sword Qi while he punched and kicked at the dragons to fend them off before he shouted suddenly, “Dao Yi Secret Realm!”
The Zhu Jian Yuan Shen of his roared and opened up the Dao Yi Secret Realm and as the Dai Yi Wheel spun, immense energy and power surged through Zhu Jushan body, causing yet another increase in body size! In a split second, he grew into a sixteen feet giant with totem carvings scrawled all over his body. Those were the totem carvings of the Zhu Jian Celestial Race that possessed incredible defense power!
With that sudden surge in his power, the five dragons could no longer cut down any flesh from him. And instead of cutting down any flesh, they could only cut through his skin to leave tiny inconsequential wounds that did nothing to impede Zhu Jushan’s momentum!
With the Dao Yi Wheel that merged with the power of the five great secret realm, Zhu Jushan’s strength surged again and this time, he ignored the five dragons formed with the Wu Xing power of Zhong Yue and he only defended himself from Zhong Yue’s Yin Yang dual swords!
Boom——
The ice mountain shattered as Zhu Jushan trampled on it with tremendous strength. Then, the totem carvings around him became brighter and they turned into a type of strange shield carvings that looked like the head of a beast. The circled around him to fend off the attacks of Zhong Yue. Occasionally, the carvings would surge into Zhu Jushan’s fists and enable him to knock back Zhong Yue’s attacks!
“Senior Martial Brother Zhong, die!”
Zhu Jushan used his fists and legs and he instantly broke free of the five dragons’ encirclement before he charged right towards Zhong Yue. At this time, he realized his own weakness and strengths when it came to fight against Zhong Yue. His cultivation base on the aspect of Wu Xing Wheel and Yin Yang Wheel was weaker than Zhong Yue’s while his strength could overwhelm Zhong Yue’s strength with little to no efforts!
Therefore, he could win the battle easily if he was able to draw Zhong Yue into a close quarters battle!
At the same time, both Zhong Yue and Zhu Jushan’s Yuan Shen were fighting ferociously in the air. They delivered all sorts of spells and attacks, fighting even more cruelly and vigorously than the battle between their owners!
Both the Great Sun Golden Crow and Zhu Jian’s Yuan Shen had exceeded the extreme limit of twenty feet. Each time the Golden Crow Yuan Shen flapped its wings, it would rain down golden feathers that were as sharp as a sword all over the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen. Then, it kept repeating its actions and launching huge amounts of Swords Qis that rained all over the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen!
On the other hand, the five wheels behind the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen kept spinning and unleashing all sorts of spells. Then, it roared and shook the mountains around with its roar, bestowing itself with horrendous strength and it punched towards the Golden Crow Yuan Shen with incredible strength!
While the two Yuan Shen continued to battle each other in the air, Zhu Jushan at the bottom had escaped from the encirclement of the five dragons and lunged towards Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue however, stood there and looked at him coldly before he suddenly smiled and said, “Dao Yi Wheel, 【Seventh Sword Style】!”
Zhu Jushan had a shock and he quickly looked around, only to find that along with the five dragons, the Yin Yang dual swords that danced around him had secretly disappeared!
Not good!
His psyche flooded outwards and he immediately sensed that instead of disappearing, the five dragons and the Yin Yang dual swords had turned into seven thin and tiny Sword Qi!
Shui Zian’s【Sixty Four Sword Styles】!
As the seven Sword Qi turned incredibly small from their previously huge size, Zhu Jushan had difficulties identifying the locations of the Sword Qi, causing him to be unable to fend off the seven Sword Qi properly. Thus, he suffered a large number of injuries on his body in an instant!
Boom——-
Suddenly, he punched onto the ice mountain and opened up a hole in the mountain before he slid into the ice mountain to avoid Zhong Yue’s attacks.
On the other side, Zhong Yue just lifted up his hand and he pointed towards the hole, commanding his seven Sword Qi to charge into the hole created by Zhu Jushan to chase after him.
At that moment, loud noises could be heard coming out from the ice mountain as Zhu Jushan created a path in the ice mountain by smashing open the walls in the ice mountain and he ran on the path he created.
Then, at the bottom of the ice mountain, the walls suddenly exploded and a huge figure could be seen jumping out from the ice mountain before running away from the ice mountain with blood all over his body.
At the same time, the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen in the air also started fleeing and it left the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen behind as it ran away.
“Such capabilities, Senior Martial Brother Zhong!”
Zhu Jushan shouted as the seven Sword Qi continued biting at his tail while the huge man kept on running. As he ran away, the Sword Qi would kept chasing him and blood could be seen gushing out from his backside as it had been cut badly by the Sword Qi.
However, this muscular huge man’s speed was still incredibly fast such that even under the control of his own psyche, he could not increase the speed of his Sword Qi to kill Zhu Jushan.
At the top, the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen continued to attack the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen
but the Zhu Jian Yuan Shen paid no attention to the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen and it kept on running away.
“I am not your opponent, so I will not play with you anymore!” from afar, Zhu Jusan’s words could be heard while the blood that dripped out from his blood was marked the pristine snow with a trail of red.
“Are you not saving your two friends?” Zhong Yue shouted as he retracted the seven Sword Qi that became increasingly difficult to control the further away from him they got.
Zhu Jushan ran even quicker and he shouted, “ I am not familiar with them. How you want to deal with them is up to you as long as you don’t kill me!”
The muscular man took little to rush up another mountain and he ran down from the mountain, leaving the two spectator Qi Practitioners stranded behind with Zhong Yue.
The two Qi Practitioners were shocked and as they tried to fly away sneakily, they saw Zhong Yue was already staring at them and cold sweat started dripping down on their forehead.
Shua shua shua——-
The seven Sword Qi, along with the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen was summoned back to Zhong Yue and he floated in the air as he looked closely at the two Qi Practitioners.
The two Qi Practitioners swallowed down their saliva and they said with a crooked face and trembling voice, “Zhong Shan Clan’s member, we surrender….”
“Don’t worry, I am not one for slaughtering defenseless individuals.”
Zhong Yue said with a happy and amicable face as he walked towards the two of them and said, “Everyone knows that I am not a blood thirsty man and we humans seek for peace instead of more war. To us, it is better to have one more friend than one more new enemy.”
The two celestial race Qi Practitioners let out a sigh of relief and Zhong Yue asked, “But I have to ask something, have you guys eaten any humans?”
One of them quickly shook his head and said, “No no, definitely no! I am a vegetarian….”
“You lied to me!”
Zhong Yue’s face changed rapidly and he raised his palms and smacked towards that Qi Practitioner, crushing him into meatball while blood and little flesh pieces scattered around the ice mountain. He then said, “I hate those who lie to me the most. Don’t you dare to think that I could not smell any human blood on you. Now, this brother here, he lied to me so I had to kill him. Have you eaten any human flesh?”
The face of that remaining Qi Practitioner turned white and he reply as he looked a Zhong Yue like a poor puppy. Then, he mustered up his courage and said, “Yes, I have….”
Zhe——
Zhong Yue raised his hand and a Sword Qi pierced the forehead and the brain of that Qi Practitioner and as the Qi Practitioner showed a confused expression as he was going to die, he said, “You lied to me….”
“Of course I could not let you live if you had eaten any humans. I do not like to be friends with those who eat my people.” Zhong Yue replied to the corpse as he summoned back his Sword Qi.
There are a lot of talented individuals in the West Barren and this Zhu Jushan is one of them. On top of him, there are still two more Qi Practitioners that are even stronger than him. The many celestial races in the West Barren are not to be underestimated. But if I achieve the peak level in my five great Yuan Shen secret realms, then no one will be able to put up a fight against me!
He looked around as they snow fell heavier and continued to blanket the mountains surrounding him in white.
With that, his vision was obstructed by the heavy snow and his hearing was interrupted by the heavy blowing of the winds. God knows what would be waiting for him in front.
No matter if it is a tiger den or a dragon lair, I would still have to get past them and no one will be able to stop me from returning home!
Zhong Yue then started running down the mountain and headed towards another mountain in his path of returning home.
In front of him, on a mountain top, a huge coiling Ao sat on the ground and its three huge heads looked around the mountain to observe any abnormal situation.
The huge Ao was twenty feet tall and it had dragon scales all over its body. In this heavy snow, its eyes looked like lanterns and they looked around carefully, scanning for any strange traces and preventing Zhong Yue from getting past this place and returning to the Great Wilderness.
This huge Ao was a strong individual of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race that was in the level of Atman Body!
In fact, there was one Atman Body level Qi Practitioner on every two mountains that surrounded the path out of the Western Barren.
Somewhere further, there were even Inner Core level Qi Practitioners from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race that used their inner core to illuminate the surroundings. They melted the snow falling in mid air and caused them to turn into water that rained down everywhere.
In the last mountain along the path out of the West Barren, a mountain with the steepest slopes, was an old man was sitting down. He was meditating with his eyes close as a coiling Ao as tall as hundred feet was laying down on the ground beside him.
“Zhong Shan Clan’s member….”
An Atman Body level Qi Practitioner suddenly opened up his eyes and he stared far away as he enunciated, “He’s here!”
