Chapter 60: 60

"Tian Myriad Mother, you say that that Zhong Shan Clan disciple might know of your identity?"

In an empty palace, 'Shui Qingyan' stared at the figure in the shadows, her eyes were filled with vigilance, the figure smiled and said, "Rest assured, I have found out how that Zhong Shan Clan member acquired that old geezer's Great Boundless Sword Qi . The old geezer commiserated with the daughter of the Qiu Tan Clan, Qiu Jiner, on her innate spirit body, he doesn't want the Wood Qi to fully affect her body, hence, he allowed the Qiu Tan Clan to steal away the sword token . But sadly, Qiu Jiner didn't realize the profundity contained in the token gave it off to the Zhong Shan Clan member . The Zhong Shan Clan disciple might know of your identity but the old geezer would not, you may lift the worries off your head . "

'Shui Qingyan' heaved a breath of relief, she said, "What should we do with the Zhong Shan Clan disciple? He knows who I truly am, and that is a great threat, a potential bomb that might sabotage our plans . No one would believe his words as of now, but one day, if the old geezer decides to meet with him which by then, his status and influence would have reached new heights . If he decides to reveal my identity, even the elders would give serious consideration to his words! Heihei, if I am exposed, don't expect that I will keep your identity a secret!"

'Shui Qingyan''s heart thumped in shock, she shouted out involuntarily, "You want to obliterate him in Swords Gate? You are mad! That little brat has attracted the attention of that old geezer, if he dies here, you will surely be exposed and I will be implicated!"

"Tian Myriad Mother, calm your heart . "

The figure was all relaxed, "I will not leave a single clue behind, if I want to kill someone, then I intend to do it right in your face, you wouldn't even realized it was me that did it . My influence and reputation in Swords Gate is way beyond your imagination . Shui Tu Clan is not the only one supporting me . The death of the Zhong Shan Clan disciple will only be like a petty rock that was tossed into the boundless ocean - the transient little ripples caused by his death will subside to nothing in the blink of an eye… . "

Zhong Yue carried the medicine basket on his back and made his way to the escarpment, he struck the copper gong and out came the Croc Dragon from the clouds . It flew over and stopped right beside the escarpment .

"Senior Croc Dragon, please send me over to the other end . " Zhong Yue leaped onto the Croc Dragon's back and said politely .

The Croc Dragon turned and flew into the clouds towards the other side, when they were halfway through in the clouds, Zhong Yue furrowed his brows as the Croc Dragon slowed down its speed and finally came to a stop .

Beneath Zhong Yue, the Croc Dragon mumbled lowly, "Don't you blame me… . "

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, all of a sudden the Croc Dragon beneath him rolled vigorously, his sights were spinning, his body, the sky and earth were all upended!

The death roll of a crocodile!

Obviously, this Croc Dragon intended to throw him down from its back into the Swords Gate forbidden land beneath them!

The Swords Gate forbidden land was the place where the devil souls were sealed, the demonic aura in was egregiously strong, there were even flesh meats growing and climbing up the steep slopes of the escarpments, the blood-red flesh meats were nefarious and wicked, only the ancient seal from the gods could repress them!

If he was thrown into the forbidden land, death would be his only ending!

However, Zhong Yue's reactions were quick, the moment the Croc Dragon started rolling, he crouched down and clasped his hands onto Croc Dragon's skin, his body went all upright and he almost fell down into the forbidden land .

Visualize the Sui Sovereign!

The moment the thoughts flashed across his mind, his psyche shifted in the psyche ocean but the demonic aura was too strong and the god's seal was too powerful, his psyche nearly formed the Sui Sovereign but was crushed instantly, he could not visualize at all!

In the clouds, Croc Dragon started rolling again, this time with renewed momentum and with great determination to throw him down into the forbidden land .

Zhong Yue's hands were on the verge of sliding off from Croc Dragon's skin, his heart sunk and all of a sudden, he let go off his hands . He was then instantly flung out .

"Erupt!"

Zhong Yue shouted aloud, he fell towards the forbidden land like a flaming meteor; suddenly, his legs stomped heavily in the air . The air within the radius of thirty feet was compressed into a seemingly tangible platform - Dong! A loud bang was audible!

He momentarily stopped in the air, Zhong Yue lifted his other leg and stomped down heavily again - Dong! Another loud thud and the air around was again condensed, slowing down his rate of descent .

His legs continued stomping in this fashion as the vapours in the air around were condensed and released; a drizzling rain of red started to fall, lightly washing the surroundings with its sanguine hue .

He was close to the forbidden land, the vapours in the air was not water but blood - his action of stomping the air condensed the blood vapour out of the air!

Zhong Yue was finally able to disperse his downward momentum, the advantage of a strong psyche was shown, his legs stomped and walked in the air towards the escarpment .

"This brat, he trained his psyche to such a magnificent level!"

In mid-air, the Croc Dragon saw what he did and it was shocked, without visualization and he walked in the air, condensing the air beneath his feet and lifting himself up with the reactionary force . In order to do this, it would require a strong psyche and an incredibly explosive force of strength to counteract his downward velocity, it was seemingly improbable even for a monster race like the Croc Dragon .

And yet, Zhong Yue was able to do it, one could then infer the degree to which the young man had refined his body!

Zhong Yue incessantly stomped the air and skyrocketed towards the escarpment, but continuously flaring out his strength placed a heavy burden on his body, even with his strong psyche, he wouldn't be able to sustain another few more steps .

The Croc Dragon fluttered over with its wings, it had the blood of a Jiao Dragon and Dragon, its body was strong and huge yet agile, when the force of the gale around it tore down onto Zhong Yue, he nearly failed to stomp and condense the air around him .

"Little brother Zhong, it's not that the Croc Dragon wants to kill you, but you have made enemies with the wrong person, I owe that person a great deed and I am only here to repay my debt . "

The huge and humongous Croc Dragon pounced down onto Zhong Yue . Zhong Yue rapidly stomped the air to dodge away from it, he threw a punch on the monster beast's body but it was left unharmed from the strike due to it's tough and thick skin .

Zhong Yue was launched away from Croc Dragon by the reaction force, he quickly stomped his way up to the escarpment, "Who asked you to do this? Croc Dragon, who wants me dead?"

The Croc Dragon was quiet; it fluttered its wings and flew up right towards Zhong Yue, in a trice, it surpassed him and with its giant tail, it slammed down from the top right at Zhong Yue . It was too quick, Zhong Yue had no time to evade and was sent slamming right down towards the bottom of the escarpment!

The giant crocodile inhaled a deep breath of air, the surrounding air was all inhaled into its lung . Bereft of the air, Zhong Yue was robbed of his sole means of survival as he finally plummeted down helplessly into the eager forbidden land waiting for him below!

"I'm sorry, but the debt I owe him is too great, I'm forced to do so… . "

The Croc Dragon flapped its wings and disappeared into the clouds .

Zhong Yue's face changed drastically, he stomped incessantly but the raging tempest was too strong, it pressed him down and rendered his efforts an excercise in futility . The steep slopes of the escarpment flashed across became a blur as he continued to accelerate downwards, the bloody flesh meat was exposed in the air without any skins, squirming and creeping like a repulsive bed of worms as the huge veins pulsed, incessantly supplying blood to them .

On the surface of the slopes were engraved enormous bloody totem carvings that were emanating in faint glimmer of light, it was their presence that repressed the demonic aura and nefarious bloody flesh; the scene that was presented to Zhong Yue was indelibly blood-curdling .

As he plummeted down, the demonic aura in the air started to pervade his mind; inner evils burgeoned within him, igniting their tempest of wrath and rage in his psyche ocean .

Zhong Yue's emotions were slowly growing out of control, his eyes were suffused with a bloody-red light and yet, his thoughts remained calm and steady . The effect of the seal of gods repressed the inner evils and prevented him from being wholly consumed by the demonic aura .

The black haze that possessed the same appearance as the Devil Soul Yin Effluvium surged towards Zhong Yue . All of a sudden, Xin Huo leapt out from his psyche ocean and stood atop his shoulder . Light rays radiated out from the little flame, fending off the evil haze from Zhong Yue, even the demonic aura and the seal of gods were both casted away from the light barrier around Zhong Yue .

Dong——

Zhong Yue reached to the bottom of the escarpment, unlike the usual ground that was paved with soils and rocks, this one he landed on was soft and fleshy - the bloody flesh meat filled the entire landscape .

As the light barrier emanated by Xin Huo casted away every other element around him, Zhong Yue could once again visualize the Sui Sovereign, smiting away the inner evils within him .

Thankfully Xin Huo is here with me, or otherwise, the black haze would have taken away my life .

Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, but that was not all, the air above him changed drastically as a heavy load slammed right down, Zhong Yue mustered all his strength and sprinted forward, his heart was filled with shock and anger, This Croc Dragon noticed that I still survived and tried to smash me with big rocks?

Boom!

A heavy load crashed down right behind him, Zhong Yue dodge the assault as he was on the verge of getting smashed into minced meat . He turned his head and cast his gaze towards the fallen rock . To his shock, it was not a massive rock but rather, the Croc Dragon itself!

The giant crocodile's eyes were wide and glazed in disbelief, an unknown object pierced through its head, leaving behind a huge perforation and a chunk of its brain missing - the Croc Dragon was dead!

Billowing waves of black haze engulfed the carcass and in a trice, only its gray white skeleton was left on the ground, sad and dreary .

Zhong Yue's body shuddered in the cold but it was even colder in his heart .

Croc Dragon tried to repay his debt by throwing me down from the escarpment and let the black haze kill me . But the person behind that wanted me dead obliterated its existence so that no one would ever know what had truly transpired here… .

He looked up but his sights were fogged, nothing could be seen other than the heavy black haze .

Could it be the Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioner that summoned Junior Martial Sister Shui? No, it can't be, Croc Dragon owes a great deed to that someone, while it comes from the Lei Hu Clan and was brought here by the Lei Hu Clan, that particular person must be one from the Lei Hu Clan… .

The thoughts frosted his body, the image of the Lei Hu Clan brawny elder came into his mind, Spreading the word that I had the sword token to the disciples, instructing the Croc Dragon to kill me, then killing the Croc Dragon right afterwards, germinating discord within the Swords Gate internally and colluding with the demons externally - what is this particular someone trying to do?

The flesh meats squirmed around and latched onto the remains of the Croc Dragon, the giant skeleton slowly sunk into the meat, not long later, it would be engulfed by the flesh meat and all vestiges of the Croc Dragon's existence would disappear from this world .

Zhong Yue felt the flesh meats starting to creep over his feet, he quickly leaped into the air and tried to stomp his way out . A thousand feet into the air and suddenly, the totem carvings of the seal of gods gleamed, a large barrier appeared above him, forming a ceiling that pressed him down!

Zhong Yue groaned as he unwillingly fell down!

The seal of gods!

This whole place was engraved with the seal of gods, one could only enter but not exit; Zhong Yue was sealed in this forbidden land eternally - he could never escape out from here!
