Chapter 116 - Encounter with Awakening Experts (1/2)
"Good, good!"
Hu Qimei clapped her hands in excitement, "Kong Ban and the five brothers of Li family are all experts. Moreover, Kong Ban is one of the stronger obstacles we will surely encounter in the Xian Kong Saint City! If Brother Long Yue kills them, I can then tidy up some remains again, and if Brother Long Yue is killed by Kong Ban, I can also tidy up Brother Long Yue's remain."
"Kong Ban? He is still not worthy enough!"
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes, and he squinted narrowly as he glanced over at Yu Xuanji, asking softly, "Kong Ban almost destroyed your Yuan Shen? Brother Xuanji are you that weak?"
Yu Xuanji's eyelids jumped, he responded coldly, "He didn't end up well either, severely wounded by me, his blood ended up splattered across the ground. The both of us suffered heavy injuries, and so we both left on our own ways and ended the battle."
Zhong Yue stared dubiously at him, cold sweat started to rush out of his forehead, and even Hu Qimei was looking at him with great interest of 'tidying his remain', giving rise to an uneasiness in his heart. He sneered and said, "I've my own fortunes in these two years, my cultivation base has increased greatly, Kong Ban is no longer my match! Brother Long Yue, could it be that you lack the guts to battle with Kong Ban?"
Zhong Yue burst into laughter, he stood up from the skiff and said, "Alright then! I will end him!"
Just when he spoke out those words, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei's hearts skipped a beat, they felt a surge of ferocious aura erupting out from Zhong Yue, the difference between now and when he was in Gu Xia City was vast beyond description. The strong and sturdy aura of his cultivation base even managed to suppress Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei causing their hearts to thump in trepidation as if an ancient wild beast was staring right into their souls!
Could this be his true prowess? Did he really hid his prowess when he battled with Yan Lisan?
Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji's hearts were filled in shock. Quickly, they noticed the changes in his eyes as he stood up, his right eye started to change while his left eye had an onyx pupil enshrouding a golden pupil within it like a dark corona. In the golden pupil, hid a bird-headed, three-legged humanoid celestial being which looked akin to the totem patterned sun.
And as for his left eye, the jet black pupil enveloped a silver pupil within, a celestial being with six eyes and three legs stood in it like a totem patterned bright moon!
The sun and moon dual pupils!
He had succeeded in coalescing the moon spirit!
The time he coalesced the moon spirit was different to when he coalesced the sun spirit. The last time when he coalesced the spirit of Great Sun Golden Crow with his soul, but now, he directly converged the moon spirit into his right eye!
After the successful coalescence, the moon spirit was residing deep within his soul's right eye. While at the same time, his mortal body's right eye also began to experience similar changes in accordance to the moon pupil!
With the success of the coalescence of the moon spirit, Zhong Yue's prowess skyrocketed to new heights. Especially when he was steeped in the abstrusity of the moon spirit totem pattern, his attainments and understandings on the first two forms of the moon spirit grew were clearer and deeper. Although he did not have much time to comprehend and study all of the abstrusity of the moon spirit, by purely relying on the rise of his cultivation base brought about by the coalescence of the two spirits, he was more than capable of surpassing both Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei!
Going through the process of advancing into the level of Rebirth twice had delivered incredible enhancements to his cultivation base. His mortal body was also baptized by the moon spirit, becoming even stronger than before!
"Kong Ban!"
Zhong Yue's sights fell onto the aloof young man who was leisurely treading on the river waters, and the wings of the Golden Crow flared out on his back. Along with the immense increase in his cultivation base and prowess, the Golden Crow wings also grew more stable and firm than before.
On the skiff, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei stared in awe at the wings that spread out before them. There were various totem patterns and aureate carvings deeply engraved on the wings and feathers. The sight caused their hearts to shudder.
This Long Yue of the East Ocean, he doesn't look like one of the dragon race, but more like a Great Sun Golden Crow!
Bang——
As Zhong Yue fluttered his wings, he had already broken through the sound barrier within a short distance of six hundred feet, causing Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei's eyelids to twitch incessantly. Although they had their own flying skills, they were all far slower than Zhong Yue's speed. With such an impressive speed, whether it be used in the battles or during escaping, he would have a great advantage that would be seemingly insurmountable by others!
"Die!"
On the river, one of the five brothers of Li family was dead, the array formation was cracked and would cease to be of any threats anymore to Kong Ban. But the next moment, a cold shiver was sent down his spine, he quickly raised his head and looked over only to see Zhong Yue diving down from the sky!
"So quick…."
He let out a dreadful whistle, completely ignoring the rest of the four Li brothers. Multicolored shields emerged out of thin air with him at the center, while the peacock feathers on his head hovered into the air before turning into the multicolored sword rays.
His peacock feathers were different to the ordinary soul weapons of the other Qi Practitioners. The elemental Qi of the gold, wood, water, fire and earth was harvested and refined into the peacock feathers, imbuing a powerful strength within!
But just right before his multicolored shields and peacock feathers could release their powers, a violent tempest was blasted into his face. Zhong Yue pushed out his palms and hammered down on him. A strength that could seemingly split the seas and crush the mountains came slamming down from above. How incredibly imperious and overwhelming would that be?
Kong Ban raised his hands and took the full blow and the river surface trembled vigorously. It was split into halves and the currents stopped flowing as the strength of the two Qi Practitioners violently clashed together!
Pu!——
Chi!——
Kong Ban spurted out a mouthful of blood, his arms were instantly crushed by the overwhelming strength only to be left broken and hanging uselessly by his sides. He was launched away flying backward and crashing into the water surface, hammered back like an arrow by Zhong Yue's strength splitting the water surface in half.
Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei were observing from a distance away. They witnessed the water surface of the Si Shui River split as if it was cleaved down the middle. Wherever Kong Ban streaked across the water, a rush of tidal waves would be incited by his sides that seemingly formed a valley of river water, steep as if an axe chopped down on it, its slopes smooth and flat like solid walls made of water. The awe-inspiring sight caused their faces to change drastically!
As for the four brothers of the Li family, they were sent flying away by the tidal waves the moment Zhong Yue attacked. They ended up strewn on the ground in all direction suffering heavy injuries.
