Chapter 12 - The Roaring Thunderous Sword Qi (2/2)

She rushed toward the scene only to find a staggered Zhong Yue moving backward rapidly trying to counter the force he received from the mutated demon. This was quite unlike the scene that she had initially envisioned where Zhong Yue had suffered extreme injuries.

Instead, thunderous totem markings emerged around Zhong Yue, and the markings merged with his own psyche and transformed into a Jiao Dragon with roaring thunderbolts around his body.

[Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art]?

Ting Lanyue approached quickly and received another shock of her life.

He combined the physique-refining technique and Elder Pu's [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill] together, leveraging the power of thunderbolts to amplify his bodily strength! No wonder he survived that mutated demon's fierce blow….

Only now did she realize the value behind Elder Pu's words. Zhong Yue had not only mastered the essence of the [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill], but he also ingeniously merged the sword skill with another physique-refining technique!

At the same time, the mutated demon jumped out from the stone piles and pounced toward Zhong Yue while roaring angrily.

In Ting Lanyue's point of view, the mutated demon was covered in blood, his speed and strength severely weakened; it had lost half of its power due to the injuries, no longer giving the impression that he was unstoppable.

Its skin was completely peeled off by Zhong Yue's lightning tree, exposing its flesh and the destroyed Mantis Demon totem markings!

That's right! The attacks delivered by Junior Martial Brother Zhong without holding back were aimed to destroy the mutated demon's totem markings!

Ting Lanyue felt her emotions undulate so many times within this short span of time; Zhong Yue had brought her a lot of shock and happiness.

Till now, she finally understood that Zhong Yue did not attack recklessly by using up all he had left. Instead, he was aiming at destroying the mutated demon's totem markings in order to impair its strength!

At this point, he doesn't even seem like a newbie that just entered the upper house. His combat awareness is terrifyingly high!

As she approached quickly, the battle between Zhong Yue and that mutated demon raged on. In the battle between the human and the demon, the muscular and tall mutated demon pressed on his attacks crazily, swinging his huge scythe-like arms quickly and with his huge bodily figure composed of pure darksteel – it emitted a terrifying aura!

Whereas for Zhong Yue, he kept on moving backward with the thunderous dragon dancing around his body, enhancing his strength. And while waiting for his chance to counterattack, he parried the attacks of the mutated demon with the strength of the thunderous dragon!

The human and the demon's attacking speeds were frighteningly fast, during the short period of time when Ting Lanyue drew closer, they had already exchanged over hundreds of blows each with Zhong Yue being so close to being struck down a multitude of times!

Suddenly, Zhong Yue failed to evade, and he got knocked back by the mutated demon's kick, and the demon pressed forward, swinging its huge scythe arms trying to bisect Zhong Yue in half!

Ting Lanyue almost screamed in fear, and at the same time, the human and the demon closed the distance, releasing a blinding wave of thunderous light that saturated the area. The radiance was so blinding that it was impossible to see what was happening inside! After the thunderous light dispersed, both Zhong Yue and the mutated demon fell to the ground, crash landing somewhere not far away from Ting Lanyue.

Ting Lanyue quickly dashed forward, and found a weak and exhausted Zhong Yue getting up tremblingly. The Sui Sovereign and the thunderous dragon around him began to shatter whereas the mutated demon was lying on the ground in a bath of its own blood as it stopped breathing forever.

Did it die?

She was stunned and looked at the corpse of the mutated demon in disbelief. The layer of bones protecting the Mantis Demon's heart now had a small aperture from Zhong Yue's lightning Sword Qi!

The lightning from the [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill] would be conducted throughout its darksteel skeleton. The skeleton would act as a protective cage that keeps the heart out of harm's way. How did Junior Martial Brother Zhong manage to pierce through the darksteel bone?

Ting Lanyue's mind flowed quickly and deduced the truth in an instant,  The hundreds of blows delivered by him were all aimed at the same position, melting a hole in the layer of bones with the high temperature of lightning and piercing the heart with a fatal blow!

Zhong Yue's ingenious usage of the [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill] to kill the Mantis Demon had left Ting Lanyue greatly shocked while at the same time changed her perspective of him.

"This woman has seen your Sui Sovereign, only a dead person can keep a secret, we must shut her mouth for eternity!"

In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xing Huo whispered, "It would bring unnecessary trouble to you if all of these were to become known to others. You are still weak, and you possess an incredible arsenal of secret skills and techniques. This will attract the attention of those ill-hearted individuals!"

Zhong Yue was startled by his callousness and said, "You are asking me to kill Senior Martial Sister Ting?"

"There's another way if you don't want to kill her."

Xing Huo proposed, "Just have sex with her and make her fall in love with you, then she will not say a word about all of this."

"Have sex with her?"

Zhong Yue's face turned dark, and he felt speechless about Xing Huo's suggestion. He then furtively glanced at Ting Lanyue, she was just a few months older than him. Although she was at the same age as him, she was quite nicely developed. Curvaceous body, elegant and pretty face – all of these factors made her out to be very alluring.

Ting Lanyue saw him looking toward her with a very strange gaze, immediately looking like she understood what he was thinking. She said gravely, "I know you are worried that I will expose you for learning other techniques that don't belong to the heritage of Swords Gate. Don't worry about it as although it is indeed forbidden to learn techniques from the outside. There are still some elder Qi Practitioners who learned techniques from the other races as well. There are also quite a lot of the disciples who did the same, so you shouldn't worry about it."

Upon hearing her words, Zhong Yue felt relieved and laughed, "Senior Martial Sister, I still ask you not to mention what happened today, thank you."

Ting Lanyue nodded and said: "I am not one to be known as a tattletale, don't worry."

"I still think it is better to kill her or have sex and make her fall in love with you."

In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo continued seriously, "I will be on the look-out while you quickly do what you have to do!"

Zhong Yue ignored him.
