Chapter 106 - - A Sword That Beheads A Beauty (1/2)

With Grandmother Lu following them, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er felt very uncomfortable. Not long later, Zhong Yue then sent the young lady back to the Yang God Palace, he smiled and said, "Junior Martial Sister Jin'er, I'll be leaving in a few days time, and might not come back until a few months later. I'll be sure to come and visit you again when I've returned."

Qiu Jin'er adorably nodded her head and thought to herself, "I would most probably be able to walk on my own by the time Senior Martial Brother is back; when he sees me walking, he would be very happy…."

Zhong Yue visited the Valley of Remedy to exchange for a few canisters of Yuling Paste before returning back to his cave dwelling in preparation for his trip; a black cloth wrapped around the Fang Blade tightly, and he conjured a Jiao Dragon from his psyche with its two dragon claws clinging onto the blade.

This copper lamp is where Xin Huo resides, I mustn't leave it behind.

The Jiao Dragon behind him put out its head and held the copper lamp in its mouth. Zhong Yue was packed and ready. He strode out of the cave dwelling, thinking to himself, Xiao Chuqing is most probably tired of waiting by now? The only reason for her to compete in the Dragon and Tiger Challenger Board is to find out more suspects, and sadly, she has found none thus far. Hence, I would be the most suspicious to her as of now. She dares not touch me in the Swords Gate Mountain, but once I've stepped out of here, nothing can be said for sure. But whatever happens, I, myself, will also be waiting for the chance to settle my enmities with her!

This time going out, not only will I go to the monster race and play as a territory lord, I'm also killing a human … Oh, correction, killing a celestial!

He marched down the mountain, once he reached to the foot of the mountain, Zhong Yue shifted his thoughts and two Jiao Dragons emerged out of nowhere, the dragons soared forwards and left at a great speed.

At the same time, Xiao Chuqing had also sneaked out of Swords Gate Mountain, she watched Zhong Yue as he left before hovering in the air to follow behind, Whether or not you are the person that went to the moon, your death has been destined. You've noticed Tian Myriad Mother's secret, so if I kill you, Tian Myriad Mother will abandon the celestial messenger and turn to me. Simply because I was able to do what the celestial messenger couldn't….

Tian Myriad Mother arrived at Xiao Chuqing's cave dwelling only to find it empty, her face changed drastically, "Xiao Chuqing must've went after the Zhong Shan Clan member! She wants to kill him to please me so that I can stand with her against the celestial envoy, this little girl of the celestial race, she is too impatient. But oh well ... what does it have to do with me?"

In the Great Wilderness, Zhong Yue stood on the twin dragons as they strode across the woods and hills at a great pace towards the Savanna Wasteland. On the dragon back, Zhong Yue would from time to time chop down a piece of wood, and as the Sword Qis danced about his fingers, he would sculpt out sculpture after sculpture of the three-legged Golden Crow.

From time to time, there would be fiery birds emerging beside him and revolving around his body, but in the end, they would all burn away and be turned into ashes.

Xiao Chuqing was trailing behind him while keeping a distance away, her heart filled with curiosity not knowing what exactly was Zhong Yue doing.

The thing behind his back looks like a saber, its shape, so akin to the soul weapon left behind by that unknown human Qi Practitioners in the Savanna Wasteland. This Zhong Shan Clan member is getting more and more suspicious!

Xiao Chuqing alighted, she crouched down and inspected the footprints of Zhong Yue's twin dragons, they were similar to the ones in the Savanna Wasteland but a size bigger, she thought in her heart, I still can't confirm whether it's him judging only by the dragon claws, but the person who saved Jin Sixie was also riding on two dragons, carrying the person and Jun Sixie on their backs.

Xiao Chuqing followed all the way, only to realize that Zhong Yue was striding further and further away closer to the Savanna Wasteland, Xiao Chuqing's heart was filled with doubts and questions, puzzled by his action of marching towards Savanna Wasteland.

This Zhong Shan Clan member is so suspicious, what credits will I get if I return and informed the celestial envoy? This one from the Zhong Shan Clan is not very strong, he is no match for me. It'd be short work for me to take him down, and if not, I can still retreat easily.

Xiao Chuqing's eyes flashed with a cold light, But not in the Great Wilderness, his prowess is not too bad either, the fight will surely cause a little bit of a commotion here and there. It'll alert the Four Ken Beast in Swords Gate Golden Summit. And once the beast is alerted, the elder council is bound to arrive not long later. To kill him, and to complete the task given by the temple, the fight can only happen outside of Great Wilderness!

Another seven or eight days slipped past, Zhong Yue had finally trekked across the Great Wilderness to arrive at the Savanna Wasteland, he was enroute towards his territory in the monster race.

Slowly, he ventured further and further into the depths of the Savanna Wasteland. It was a time of transition between the blooming spring and the scorching summer, withered flowers were strewn across the Savanna Wasteland and unripe fruits were hanging limpidly on the trees. Oftentimes, Zhong Yue would spot beasts roaming about and wolf packs stalking throughout the grass.

Unwittingly, he was already tens of thousand miles into the wasteland where a great distance existed between where he stood and the Great Wilderness or even, the East Barren.

Now is the time!

Dark rays flashed in Xiao Chuqing's eyes, just when she was about to act, Zhong Yue stood stock still and said coolly, "Now is the time … Junior Martial Sister Xiao, why don't you come out now?"

Her heart thumped in shock, she gazed at the young man whose body turned around to face her squarely as his cold eyes met with hers. He smiled, "Junior Martial Sister Xiao, you've followed me for so long, and yet, you still aren't convinced? Do you need a footprint? Then let me show you one."

Zhong Yue lifted his leg and stomped down onto the ground, leaving an indelible footprint behind. He flew back a hundred feet he stepped back all while holding a casual smile on his face, "Junior Martial Sister Xiao, please, have a look, is this the same as the footprints on the moon?"

"Senior Martial Brother Zhong truly isn't simple to know that I was tailing you."

Xiao Chuqing's face changed slightly, she trotted forward, crouched and inspected the footprint, she then took out a stone rubbing where it contained the exact copy of the footprint on the moon, she compared the footprints before she chortled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, so that day that person on the moon, was indeed you. Senior martial brother, can you please enlighten me on how you managed to fly to the moon?"

"I'll slowly tell you ... after I take your head away!"

Zhong Yue put out his hand and the cloth wreathing around the Fang Blade flowed off like silk and the blade burst out to reveal the dreadful god's fang. The Jiao Dragon's claw grabbed it and delivered the blade hilt into his hand!

Teng-teng-teng!

He marched forward, each stride he took would split the ground beneath, he leaped dozens of feet far with the saber in his hand slashing down!

A bright moon emerged behind Xiao Chuqing, intending to defend herself, and it was this moment where a Sword Qi blasted out right at her face from the footprint Zhong Yue left behind!

Shua!
