Chapter 81 - Melody In The Forest (2/2)

This time, his purpose of returning to the Swords Gate was to refine himself and remove the flaws in his abilities by learning a greater range of arts and techniques that would include the that of crafting soul weapons and totem pillars.

"Dong'er, Chun'er, I have to leave this place for a period of time. If there are any monsters that want to invade and eat you, immediately go to Master Hu, Master Bai, and the others to seek help. They would definitely protect all of you."

Zhong Yue gave the four girls some instructions and he immediately rushed to the Great Wilderness.

Two rounds of dragon roars could be heard and two thirty feet long Jiao Dragon appeared under his feet. As soon as they were formed, they rushed forward with a speed that was an order of magnitude greater than a galloping horse!

If it was during the previous times, Zhong Yue wouldn't dare to travel at such cost. However, since his psyche increased dramatically; his previous psyche was merely water, but the psyche in his psyche ocean now was the aureate liquid. With that, he could finally support the massive expense with his highly concentrated psyche.

Other than that, as his previously voluminous but dilute psyche lake was completely depleted, with each visualization of the Sui Sovereign, the newly regenerated psyche would be the concentrated aureate liquid, allowing for the perpetually massive improvement of his psyche base!

This was the advantage of him completing the evolution process in one shot as soon as he sensed the spirits and became a Qi Practitioner. With that, the strength of his pure psyche had already achieved a level far beyond those on the same tier as him!

However, although the quality of his psyche has increased, the quantity of his psyche left one wanting.

For now, the golden liquid in his psyche ocean was only a hundred acres big as compared to the formerly few thousand mus massive ocean.

Fortunately, although his psyche ocean had become smaller, his psyche had become incredibly strong by merit of the incredible condensation of power. Even though he had not gotten his hands on the true ultimate variant of the Jiao Dragon Totem, the Jiao Dragons he visualized were already on a completely different level in terms of speed and strength!

With this speed, it would only take four or five days to pass the entire Savanna Wasteland!

Zhong Yue then thought, Gu Hongzi and the others are pursuing the four aces of Swords Gate so there should be dozens of monster Qi Practitioners all around the Savanna Wasteland. I should maintain this current appearance and only change into my original one when I get back to the Great Wilderness.

On his way to his destination, he saw the numerous interweaving tracks wrought about by the battles. It must have been left behind when the monster Qi Practitioners were chasing after the four Swords Gate aces. He also encountered a few Qi Practitioners that were looking for something all around. They, however, did not approach or bother with him as they saw his face from a distance.

After three more days, Zhong Yue stood on his Jiao Dragon and passed through a forest. In these three days, he had rushed for over 500 miles and he finally got closer to the Great Wilderness.

I should be able to enter the Great Wilderness within a day.

Zhong Yue couldn't help but feel relieved as he moved even faster. Suddenly, he had an ominous feeling and he immediately stopped his advance. With a vivid tearing sound like a knife cutting through naked flesh, the huge heads of the two Jiao Dragons under his feet were rendered apart as if they were cut by something.

Next, as a zither melody was heard, Zhong Yue's hair stood on end and he immediately backflipped while he moved backward for a few miles. A Sword Qi then could be seen flying over an inch above his chest, slicing everything in its path.

As he landed, Zhong Yue looked behind and saw the trees behind him were all cut down by that Sword Qi!

"Jun Sixie?"

Zhong Yue was shocked as he immediately recognized the one who launched this Sword Qi.

He once saw the attack of this Jun Sixie in the volcano. She used her zither as a sword and her attacks were all very nimble and ferocious. She even managed to withstand and fight against the joint attack of the two female disciples under the Lord of Xian Kong City.

Zhong Yue looked towards the direction from where the zither Sword Qi flew out and saw a girl dressed in green sitting down under a tree. Blood stains splattered all over her body that was littered with injuries while a zither was placed atop her knees.

The girl was barely breathing and when she saw Zhong Yue had evaded her attack, she showed a determined expression as she was preparing to take her own life.

At that moment, a black ray flew out from the forest and pierced a bloody hole in the girl's scapular, nailing her onto the tree.

"We have finally caught Jun Sixie, one of the four successors of Swords Gate!"

An arrogant peal of laughter was heard echoing from deeper within the forest and when Zhong Yue looked towards the direction, he saw two monster Qi Practitioners walking out from the forest with a lackadaisical expression. When they saw Zhong Yue, their expressions changed slightly but then turned in relief when they saw his monster appearance.

Jun Sixie gritted her teeth and tried her best to get up, but to no avail as her injuries were too serious and she was immobilized by the black ray. The black ray was actually a short trident that was about two feet long – seeming like a soul weapon. The short trident appeared to be jet black colored and it was incredibly poisonous as black smoke could be seen faintly gushing into her neck.

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and he suddenly walked closer to Jun Sixie while he said, "Human Qi Practitioners are extremely valuable, not to mention a human female Qi Practitioner, especially the Jun Sixie of the four aces! Dear senior martial brothers, she is my trophy and what do the both of you want by intercepting?"

The two monster Qi Practitioners looked like a dhole and a wolf. One of them had the head of a dhole and body of a human while the other had the head of a wolf and body of a human. In their hands were a little steel fork and a spiked rod respectively. Upon hearing Zhong Yue's words, they looked at Zhong Yue angrily.

The dhole Qi Practitioner licked his lips and smirked, "Dragon? I heard Gu Xia City had a new dragon brat that is not a Qi Practitioner called Long Yue. I assume that you are that Long Yue?"

"The blade on your back, is that made from god's fang?"

The wolf Qi Practitioner looked at the Fang Blade carried behind the back of Zhong Yue and he laughed while saying greedily, "Seems like the heaven has shined upon us, granting us two precious things at once. Hey, the brat from the dragon race, consider yourself unlucky, obediently handover the god fang to us and we will let you leave here alive!"
