Chapter 67 - Gardening by the Riverside (2/2)

Thankfully one managed to escape….

Just when the third Qi Practitioner was feeling thankful in his heart, the Xiang Dragon once again walked on the water like a flash of lightning. Moments later, it returned with the second Qi Practitioner in tow.

The second Qi Practitioner had lost the strength even to struggle.

It's fine. It's fine. I will seize this chance and get away from here to get more help!

The third Qi Practitioner quickly sneaked away, but he could only travel ten miles away before he heard sounds of thunder rumbling from behind him, he turned around and saw the Xiang Dragon holding a gigantic blade ramming right at him!

Moments after, Zhong Yue bashed and bullied the Qi Practitioner, grabbed him and walked over to the riverside. He was then planted into the ground just like his other clan members.

The water stockade was in an uproar, and many fishing boats sailed out in all directions, they were the Shui Tu Clan disciples seizing the opportunity to scurry over to the Lei Hu Clan to plead for help.

The Lei Hu Clan is ranked the sixth in the top ten clans, above the Shui Tu Clan, there will be more strong cultivators in the Lightning Lake….

Zhong Yue then controlled a wave of water and splashed in on the Shui Tu Clan members, followed by a few strikes of lightning. The Shui Tu Clan members were charred while blurting out black fumes from their mouths; they could only breathe heavily with no extra energy to even move at all.

"Ho-ho!"

The Xiang Dragon chortled merrily and trotted away with its rear legs, the Shitu Clan disciples, and Qi Practitioners were all shocked and furious. They tried to free themselves but were too powerless. They moaned in their hearts, Damn, damn, if the brats of Lei Hu Clan saw us in this state, Shui Tu Clan will then surely be a joke in the Great Wilderness….

Lei Hu Clan members are all big mouths, the news that Shui Tu Clan was humiliated by a Xiang Dragon will soon spread across the Great Wilderness, everyone will know about it, they will never stop laughing at us for tens of years….

It was not too long before the Lei Hu Clan ship sailed down from the river upstream, on it stood six or seven Lei Hu Clan Qi Practitioners, above the ship were flashes of lightning accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder. Vaguely, one could see the shadowy figure of a Leigong standing in the gloomy clouds with a hammer and chisel in his hands. His aura was thunderous and marvelous. From afar, they could hear a Qi Practitioner shouting at them, "Where is the Xiang Dragon… Aiya, senior martial brothers, what happened to all of you? Is this a human-planting game?"

On the Lei Hu Clan's ship, loud guffaws and laughter burst out instantly while the Shui Tu Clan members were mortified, at this moment, they even wanted to have their heads buried deeper into the ground.

A few moments later, the Lei Hu Clan Qi practitioners dug the Shui Tu Clan members out from the ground, the Lei Hu Clan Qi Practitioners were all brawny men, with thick hair like bear furs and barrel chests, just like human towers.

One of them smirked and said, "Senior martial brothers were defeated by a Xiang Dragon, what an interesting story this is. How can I not share it with the brothers of the You Yu and Tian Feng clans?"

The Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioners' face darkened, and one of them rebuked, "Without express permission from the elder, the Hebo is not able to leave the water stockade. Otherwise, there was no way things would have turned out like this?"

"The Xiang Dragon even had you all cornered in your own base?"

The Lei Hu Clan Qi Practitioners's amusement increased, and they gazed at each other and said, "Now this is more interesting, this alone is enough for us to gossip about for years to come!"

"I was still worrying that I might run out of stories when meeting with the martial siblings of the other clans, now I have just the right topic to start the conversations!"

The Qi Practitioners of the Shui Tu Clan snapped, and one of them shouted, "Inform the elder, we must capture that Xiang Dragon and dismember it into pieces! Martial brothers of Lei Hu Clan, are you all interested in tagging along? After we capture it, we will serve you guys a meal of Xiang Dragon meat!"

The Lei Hu Clan Qi Practitioners shook their heads, among them, one stepped forward and said, "The Xiang Dragon is an auspicious beast, it's presence in the Shui Tu Clan territory is a propitious omen to the clan. This is something that the other clans have can only hope for, it's fine if the Shui Tu Clan doesn't worship it but why the need to capture it? Moreover, the Xiang Dragon only lambasted you guys, it could take your lives, but it didn't. Its generosity and kindness are clearly shown. To further continue the pursuit, you are just making jokes of yourselves."

"Your words make sense, but how can I just accept all the humiliations it gave us?"

The Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioners rushed over to Swords Gate. They appealed for Elder Shui Zian's assistance along with the other strong and formidable Shui Tu Qi Practitioners. But it would all be useless as Zhong Yue had already traveled far. One day and one night, he had flown over 3000 miles. Across the mountains, and through the forests, he trudged onward tirelessly.

His physique was stronger than the ordinary people and was even stronger after he adopted the form of the Xiang Dragon. After days and nights of incessantly visualizing Sui Sovereign, the beast god essence in his body was decreasing gradually.

Another six or seven days passed before he was finally at the border of the Great Wilderness. There only remained a fraction of the beast god essence in his body, a few more days and he could then revert to his human form.

The beasts in the Great Wilderness were great in number, some were even descendants of the legendary ancient beasts, but the Xiang Dragon was a felicitous beast, a descendant of dragons, there weren't many beasts that dared take the initiative in inciting trouble with it.

Another half day and I will be walking out of the Great Wilderness.

Zhong Yue's heart thumped with excitement, this would be the first time he ever walks out of the Great Wilderness to explore the outside world!

Outside of the Great Wilderness, I wonder if any humans are living out there? What do the other races look like… The outside world, I am coming!
