Chapter 83 - Zither Without Strings (2/2)

Jun Sixie could vaguely feel the Gold Qi flowing around Zhong Yue's hands and her heart thumped in shock. Just exactly what art was this brat cultivating, he really did extract the energy out from the soul weapons!

This was simply beyond her understanding, as she was taught from young that only the headmaster's [Great Boundless Sword Qi] had such an arcane ability; as for the extraction of Gold Qis from soul weapons being the natural ability of a Qi Practitioner after manifesting the spirit, who the heck instilled such a concept in this brat? And what was crazier was that he actually did it!

Who is he? Is the Zhong Shan Clan an ancient clan with incredible prowess that was hiding in Great Wilderness, how else can it explain how he could extract the Gold Qi out of the soul weapons so easily? Jun Sixie thought to herself.

"Didn't Senior Martial Sister Jun know that after manifesting a spirit, you can then extract the energy from the heaven and earth to cultivate the Sword Qi?"

Zhong Yue was baffled, he said, "Isn't this something normal for the Qi Practitioners?"

"Nonsense!"

Jun Sixie was enraged, "Who told you such nonsensical drivel? What an unreliable person … What's with that expression in your eyes? I'm not a stupid girl, and neither have I lost my sanity after getting beaten by the monsters. Don't look at me like that, it's like I've gone crazy or something like that!"

The lady in green was losing her mind, she was on the verge out passing out of rage and anger, Zhong Yue comforted her and said, "Senior martial sister you must be severely wounded, your injuries are clouding your mind, it's best if you take a nap and rest."

Jun Sixie yelled out in shock, "What are you trying to do? Brat, stop…."

Zhong Yue gently pinched the nape of her neck, the young lady immediately lost her conscious and fainted away.

"Nicely done!"

Xin Huo leaped out, he looked at Jun Sixie and twitched his mouth, he said, "This little heifer is an unenlightened country bumpkin, how dare she say that the smart and brilliant Xin Huo is unreliable."

Zhong Yue said worriedly, "Xin Huo, she is one of the four successors of Swords Gate, if the poison is not eradicated, she might die, and with her wounds…."

"Rest assured, she is an innate spirit body, one whose birth coincided with the eruption of the Water Celestial Star's planetary energy, she won't die so easily."

Xin Huo smiled and said, "The water element is naturally proficient in the arts of recovery, the Water Qi in her body will cast off the poison in no time, the wounds may look severe but they are not deadly. Careful, monstrous Qi incoming!"

Zhong Yue stopped abruptly and Xin Huo lunged back into his psyche ocean; with a shift of his psyche, the silk-like zither string fell off from the Fang Blade and burrowed into the ground a few miles away.

At almost the same instant, Zhong Yue gently stomped his leg, the Wood Sword Qi turned into a petty small tree planting itself not far away from him.

Surges of monstrous Qi inundated the air and waves of monstrous clouds billowed over with great speed towards him. He could vaguely see the head of an ox looming in the clouds, and he could hear thundering sounds of a monster saying, "Jun Sixie, stop running and follow me back home, I will take you in as my wife!"

A monster ox alighted onto the ground, a pair of black wings were retracted and it turned into an ox-headed man holding a thirty to forty feet long spear. In an imposing manner, the ox looked at Zhong Yue and said, "Who are you? A dragon … Hehe, I hear that there is a newcomer in the Gu Xia City, a petty child from the dragon race, is that you?"

"How may I call you, senior martial brother?" Zhong Yue greeted him.

"No need for that!"

The monster ox cast his gaze over at the unconscious Jun Sixie, he raised his spear and pointed it at Zhong Yue, "Jun Sixie, one of the four successors of Swords Gate, she is very valuable, she has the innate spirit body of water, if I can copulate with her, I would be able to extract her Water Qi for myself. My prowess will surely increase greatly! Furthermore, the two island lords are offering a reward for her head. I will first take her, extract every morsel of out of her until there is no residual value left and behead her for the reward! Brat, if you are smart, you should hand her over to me now!"

Zhong Yue smirked and said, "Brother Ox, you want the energy in her body, but so do I. It seems like a negotiation is impossible, then there is only one option left!"

It was right at this moment that Jun Sixie regained her conscious after much difficulty, but upon hearing his words, she immediately fainted away again.

The young man's face darkened as he thought in his heart, Oh no, how am I going to explain to her….

The monster ox guffawed out loud and turned into his true form, he was a mountain-sized black ox. His four hooves caused the ground to quake and the mountains to tremble as he charged his way towards Zhong Yue!"

At the same time, his life essence manifested behind him – it was a dragon king that commanded the black waters and it swung the spear towards Zhong Yue!

As the monster ox moved, the zither string planted by Zhong Yue also flitted, it pierced up from beneath the ground and shot out from right beneath the monster ox.

The monster's heart thumped heavily, he sensed the imminent danger; four patches of dark clouds emerged beneath his hoofs, the monstrous wind blew and along with the pair of black wings on his back, he flew into the air like a flash of lightning.

The zither string could not make it in time to slash the monster ox into half, it could only wreath around one of his hooves and amputate it; blood rained down from the sky as his hooves were shredded into thin slices of meat!

Zhong Yue reached out to his Fang Blade with the two dragons beneath his feet lifting him in the air, he swung his blade at the spear and dashed right at the three-legged monster ox!

In mid-air, a loud deafening sound burst out, the spear was cleaved in half by his blade which unrelentingly continued on slashing towards the monster ox.

"How sharp is that blade?"

The monster ox roared furiously, one of his horns flew out to block Zhong Yue's blade – Pu! The horn was broken into pieces.

While at the same time, the black dragon king behind the monster ox grabbed on his other horn and thrust it forward. Blood splattered down the sky and Zhong Yue muffled a groan, his shoulder was pierced by the ox horn, the tip of the horn could be seen protruding out from his back.
