Chapter 32 - Roaring Thunder Sword (1/2)
The Rainbow Clouds Carrier slowly descended from the sky when the girls looked down from the cloud while waiting to alight once the cloud reached the ground. What came into their vision was a ridge with seemingly unforgivable terrain which would instill great terror into anyone looking at it. In the Great Wilderness, there were a lot of places with dangerous environments, but this ridge appeared especially malign, making the girls adopt serious expressions.
As the clouds reached the ground, Tao Daier took out the small pouch and murmured something. As she muttered, the rainbow cloud swiftly returned into the pouch, and after a few moments, the cloud completely disappeared into the small bag.
Yu Feiyan walked forward and explained, "Dear sisters, the reward of this mission assigned by Swords Gate is very rich. A lot of the other disciples are planning to enter the Beast God Ridge, and some are already there by now. We should make haste and enter the deeper part of the Beast God Ridge to kill those rampant monster beasts promptly!"
Ting Lan Yue walked up and, "Senior Martial Sister, there would be a lot of the elites from the top ten clans here by now, and some of them are very strong, like Shui Qinghe and Lei Gun. There are also some strong female disciples here like Li Xiuniang from the Li Shan Clan and Mu Qingxuan from Mu Shan Clan. Are you confident that you could beat them?"
Yu Feiyan shook and said, "Li Xiuniang, Mu Qingxuan, and the others have already achieved the state of [Actualization of Virtuality]. Their psyche is better than mine. These people are the core disciples of their clans. They are also selected after rigorous tests and raised up with rich resources when they were still young. Therefore, they are individuals who have exceptional skills. However, the core disciples of my clan, the You Yu Clan, are no weaker than them. They would need to fight with me first if they want me to conceded! Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you have fought with Shui Qinghe once, how is his strength compared to mine?"
The other girls immediately looked at Zhong Yue as they really wanted to know about it as well.
Zhong Yue thought for a while, and he shook his head while saying, "Senior martial sister, you are slightly weaker than Shui Qinghe."
Yu Feiyan stared at him angrily and rebuked saltily, "How would you know if we did not even fight at all? Besides, I really want to compete with you, especially after you fought with Shui Qinghe!""Junior Martial Brother Zhong, when do you want to claim the throne of the strongest disciple in the male house?"
Tao Daier smiled and said, "The first in the male house is now Senior Martial Brother Han Qingmo, and he is as famous as Senior Martial Sister Yu. He is a formidable foe. If you manage to defeat him, you would then be the best in the male house then."
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "Is the title of being the best in the male house really that important?"
"How is it not important?"
The other girls refuted Zhong Yue's answer and quipped, "If you have the title of the strongest male disciple, you will receive the admiration of us female disciples!"
"You would also receive the favoritism of the Qi Practitioners, and they might give you various valuable items!"
"People would also become your follower and get things done for you! They would also eagerly help you solve your problems in bids to gain your favor!"
Zhong Yue was stunned by the girls' answers, and he said stupidly, "Such advantages? But I don't need the admiration of the girls now as it is useless for me now. What I need the most is the medicinal pellets and cultivation techniques…"
The girls immediately dismissed him and proclaimed, "Senior Martial Brother Han is an incredible person like Senior Martial Sister Yu, he will not be defeated by the likes of you! If you wish to take his place, then you will have to wait for another few years!"
"May the handsome and brilliant Senior Martial Brother Han defeat this evil demon from Zhong Shan Clan!"
Suddenly, Yu Feiyan's face turned grave, and she said, "Quiet, there are monsters nearby!"
The girls immediately got nervous, and they quickly stood back to back while they prepared for battle and took out their totem pillars.
Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts and his back suddenly felt very warm as a soft body leaned toward his back. He turned back and saw the beautiful jet black hair and pearl white neck of a girl. Tao Daier turned her head and smiled toward Zhong Yue. Her smile was sweet, her teeth were like milky-white pearls, and her fragrance was sublime. All of these suddenly reduced the tension of the atmosphere around Zhong Yue.
He looked around and found the totem pillars of those girls were tiny, but the carvings on the totem pillars were very exquisite. The carvings seemed to be that of a very high-classed phoenix.
The ground trembled lightly, and the trembling slowly became more and more frequent and vigorous. The ground shook violently like waves in the sea and the next moment, one after another, Feiyi Snakes appeared in their vicinity!
These Feiyi Snakes looked like giant lizards except armored with a body full of scales. They were as tall as an average person, but their body length was only about two or three feet long.
"Do not use your soul weapons!"
Yu Feiyan quickly said, "Feiyi Snakes consume any metals as their food, their stomach is full of corrosive gastric juices. They could easily corrode your soul weapon if they managed to bite on them. Immediately cast out your totem pillar and initiate the totem of the Phoenix."
Dong dong dong!
One after another, the totem pillars landed on the ground, and the carvings on the pillars glowed. The glows from the pillars then intersected in mid-air, forming a majestic phoenix floating in the air over the girls.
"This is an array?"
Zhong Yue showed a shocked expression, and he proceeded to measure the phoenix formed by the totem pillars. He could feel the immense strength and aura coming from that conjured phoenix. Its strength was equal to a phoenix-derived cultivation technique already!
This phoenix was so condensed as it could almost materialize already. From this, its strength would be incredibly strong!
Fuh——
As the phoenix flapped its wings, huge fireballs shot out toward those Feiyi Snakes. The fireballs exploded as soon as they landed in the crowds of those Feiyi snakes, splitting them apart and killed countless numbers!
The remaining Feiyi Snakes let out a scream and scattered everywhere. The girls felt relieved until the ground trembled suddenly. A huge hole opened in the ground, and innumerable red tentacles with just a huge mouth and no eyes and no nose emerged from the ground. The tentacles then flew toward the girls' heads!
One of the tentacles had its mouth wrapped around a girl's head and her shoulders before she the scream could even escape her mouth.
"Don't panic, it's just the huge mountain worm! [Flying Goose Shocking Swan]!"
