Chapter 85 - Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shield (2/2)

An hour later, Jun Sixie had finished explaining, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and focused his concentration; moments later, aurulent-colored rays flitted about in front of him. Slowly, the golden rays congealed into a square shield measuring a square foot.

Totem carvings began to faintly emerge on the surface of the small shield, and gradually the carvings became clearer. A few moments later, the totem carvings of a dragon turtle wreathed by a soaring snake arose from the surface of the small shield.

The mythical beasts were almost indistinguishable from their real counterparts, the dragon turtle's dreadful head extruded out from the shield's surface and roared fiercely, while the Teng Snake wreathing around its body was slowly meandering around.

The time he used for [Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Skill] is even faster….

Jun Sixie was dispirited, it was as if her heart took a heavy blow; Zhong Yue was concerned and he quickly asked, "Senior martial sister, are you hungry again?"

"Get off, leave me alone … Wait, come back, I'm indeed getting hungry, you have more beef?"

Zhong Yue hurled a few pieces over, he was curious in his heart, Even though Senior Martial Sister Jun has petite and elfin stature, she can still eat so much. The aunties in Zhongshan Clan all said that the more a girl eats, the more babies she can give birth to….

Zheng-Zheng-Zheng!

Sounds of metals clashing together could be heard; Zhong Yue cast the eighteen Sword Qis in the Coral Tree and slashed on the Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shield. After a period of time, he stopped the slashings and inspected the shield, finding that the Sword Qi failed to leave even a single impression. He was overjoyed and thought, I wonder how the Wooden Sword Qi and Xiang Dragon Sword Qi would fare against this Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shield….

Right away, the Wooden Sword Qi surged out and gashed at the Gold Spirit Shield, －zheng zheng zheng－ the shield was barely scathed after withstanding the ferocious barrage of attacks; moreover, the scratches disappeared right after his psyche flowed in and repaired the shield.

Zhong Yue then turned to the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi, －chui!－ The Sword Qi pierced right into the Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shield, but as the Sword Qi pierced deeper into the shield, its momentum decreased and further penetration grew more difficult. Eventually, it stopped and remained pinned in the shield.

Zhong Yue withdrew the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi, the deep gash on the shield recovered slowly and a few moments later, it was flawless again.

This defensive skill Senior Martial Sister Jun taught me is really ... strong!

Zhong Yue settled his mind, and thought, My Xiang Dragon Sword Qi is equally matched with the dhole Qi Practitioner's soul weapon. We are both a Rebirth Qi Practitioners, and if his soul weapon can't penetrate through my Xuan Yuan Gold Spirit Shield, then neither can the soul weapons of other Rebirth Qi Practitioners!

Although he had now acquired a defensive skill, Zhong Yue still dared not let his guard down He took out another steel fork and continued extracting the Gold Qi from it.

I've only one Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shield, it'll be alright if my opponents are mediocre; but if I happened to encounter with one who can wield multiple soul weapons at a time, one shield will not be enough. I need to accumulate more Gold Qi, and more Black Tortoise shields!

He lifted his head and cast his gaze away, he surmised the distance left until they would reach the Great Wilderness and he thought to himself, At this rate, we'll need another two more days. But if we continue with full speed, it'll only take half a day. But, if any monsters see us, then my true identity will be surely exposed….

The longer the time, the greater the risk of exposure; but if he went on at full speed by turning the head of the dragon around forwards, he would draw the attention of the more preeminent monsters.

Zhong Yue found himself stuck in a difficult quandary, but ultimately, he had opted for the path with the lowest risk – traveling backwards towards the Great Wilderness.

A dozen steel forks were consumed, and Zhong Yue had manifested his second shield. Right at this moment, he could feel a surge of monstrous Qi closing in at great speed.

The Jiao Dragon quivered and slowed to a halt, Jun Sixie was curious and she asked, "Are the monsters catching up to us?"

Zhong Yue nodded in confirmation, he planted the zither string in the ground, and the Sword Qis were released out to the wild. An exquisite Xiang Dragon was crouching below an ancient pine tree and a pile of small grass was innocuously swaying beside the road. His Primordial Spirit in his psyche ocean was closely attached to the Sword Qis in anticipation, primed to strike out like a viper.

The sounds of hyenas barking and wolves howling came from afar, Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and cast his gaze at them; there were packs and packs of giant hyenas and wolf monsters galloping right at them. While in the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged man of short stature stood on the alpha wolf.

Jun Sixie's face changed drastically, she whispered lowly, "This is bad, it's Bei Shisong! Junior Martial Brother Zhong, this monster Qi Practitioner is sly and cunning, he is one of the ones who ambushed me…."

The middle-aged man and the packs were getting closer, they stopped abruptly a thousand feet away from Zhong Yue's position; shuddering their bodies, they stood up like humans, and turned into monster beasts with wolfen or hyena heads, standing by their master with extreme obedience and pious deference.

These monster beasts were not Qi Practitioners, but their prowesses were close to one. With dozens of monster hyenas and monster wolves clustered together, they would be a noteworthy force of strength!

The alpha wolf trotted forward in its humanoid form, it was a hundred and twenty feet tall, and its wolfen head was sized like a mountain. The middle-aged man stood on its head, looking over at Zhong Yue, he smiled and said, "So junior martial brother has successfully caught Swords Gate Jun Sixie, I'm indeed impressed. Is the junior martial brother heading back to Gu Xia City? May I escort you?"
