Chapter 116 - Encounter with Awakening Experts (2/2)

Hu——

Kong Ban's Yuan Shen flew up behind him, it was an over sixty to seventy feet tall celestial being built with four arms and a bird's head with its body thoroughly covered with peacock feathers as if it was a peacock spreading its tail. Its appearance managed to block the overwhelming force of the strike sent forward by Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue's wings fluttered, he bolted over from the middle of the water valley, following right behind Kong Ban and striking furiously at him —Krong!— A loud burst erupted and caused the air to tremble. It was Zhong Yue's punch – faster than the speed of sound – its velocity giving rise to a supersonic shockwave that was akin to the rumble of thunder from the heavens!

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei heard the sounds of thunder rumbling throughout the valley; short, clear, quick, and intense! Their hearts were engulfed in shock. Such a dense noise, it would definitely be caused by the rapid barrage of Zhong Yue's punches continually inciting resounding shockwaves. A terrifying implication of such a din was that his attack speed was even faster than the speed of sound!

On the upright tidal waves on the sides of Si Shui River, palm prints and fist prints were sequentially being created. Each and every palm print was over a hundred feet in radius while the fist prints were smaller with a radius of eighty-some feet.

Suddenly, the surface of the river started to quiver vigorously, a multicolored peacock flared out its wings and rose into the sky in an attempt to flee. It was Kong Ban, he was beaten so thoroughly that his option was to revert to his true form to give himself a chance of escape.

His speed was great, his wingspan measured over a hundred feet long, gliding along the surface of the river for a few miles. A sudden shudder, and he pierced through the winds and bolted away.

"Where is Lian Shan?!" Zhong Yue followed behind him endlessly, he was getting closer to Kong Ban, when all of a sudden, Kong Ban growled out and said.

"Lian Shan?"

Just when Zhong Yue was thinking what he meant, a small hill beside the river started to quake violently, and a giant being slowly stood up. It was a giant rhinoceros, resting beside the Si Shui River as if it was a black and darkly hill.

" Mou !!"

The giant rhinoceros growled and the sound waves trembled the surrounding air which blasted onto Zhong Yue. The river water started to boil and the water streams evaporate to form a stratum of white mist above. And in the midst of the white mists, the sound waves shuddered and the mist coalesced into the form of a giant rhinoceros with a thousand feet huge mouth, every growl caused the air to tremble powerfully!

"How incredibly strong is this?"

The pupil of Zhong Yue's right eye started to shift. The moon spirit manifested behind him like a specter, coalescing with the soul and morphing into the Star Moon Jade Toad before challenging its roar with one of its own.

" Manggu !"

As the two sounds waves clashed together, Zhong Yue released a muffled groan and reeled backward by the impact force, staggering on his feet.

"Young master, don't you worry."

The giant rhinoceros suddenly stood up like a human, its body started to change and morphed into a stoutly built man with a stature of about two hundred feet. Zheng!—— his Yuan Shen emerged behind him and on its chest, was a marvelous-looking light wheel gyrating before it, emanating a kaleidoscope of prismatic radiance!

"The Awakening level, a monster Qi Practitioner that opened the Wuxing Wheel!"

Zhong Yue's heart thumped before he stopped abruptly. He quickly retreated back to the skiff and retracted his wings before yelling, "It's an Awakening expert, leave now!"

On the skiff, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei's eyes were filled with terror, the skiff was quickly manipulated and propelled away. But the giant rhinoceros curled its legs, crouching down before sudden before launching out like a nocked arrow finally let loose. The skiff was a thousand feet high in the sky, and yet, just a single leap catapulted the giant rhinoceros monster man to the point where the skiff was nearly within arm's reach!

The rushing gale induced by the waving of the giant rhinoceros' gigantic hands shook the skiff and pushed it to the brink of capsizing!

"He is Lian Shan of the Shen Yi City, don't worry, this brat doesn't know how to fly!"

Yu Xuanji heaved a breath of relief, he quickly stabilized the skiff and rowed it away from this place, saying with a smile on his face, "His body is too heavy, he can't practice any flying skill. Even if he is at the level of Awakening, as long as he doesn't know how to fly, then he can't do anything to us…."

But before he finished his sentence, the giant rhinoceros monster man suddenly picked up and hurled a rock of at least a hundred thousand kilograms of weight. Krong— — It penetrated through the wind to slam towards them.

Yu Xuanji was shocked, he dared not open his mouth anymore as he mustered all his energy in manipulating the skiff to bolt away through the wind.

The giant rhinoceros monster man sprinted over, continuing to grab the rocks along the way and launching them over. Cold sweat rushed out of Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji's foreheads, this giant rhinoceros' strength was too immense; they would only end up with perforated bodies and pulverized bones if they were to be hit with the rocks.

"[Sky Sealing Clouds]!"

Yu Xuanji yelled out, a stratum of mist and clouds emerged in midair and overcast the skies of tens of miles. The skiff was concealed in the clouds and abruptly bolted away, throwing off the pursuit of the giant rhinoceros monster human behind them.

"Who knew that this brat Kong Ban would even bring his followers out along with him," Yu Xuanji was steering the skiff as he fled far away. He then heaved a breath of relief and rubbed the back of his hand on his forehead to wipe away the cold sweat.

Zhong Yue's face turned gloomy, his voice was cold like ice, "Brother Xuanji, Qimei, the both of you owe me an explanation, why is there an Awakening level follower around Kong Ban? And what should we do if that Lian Shan giant rhinoceros caught up to us again when we arrive at Xian Kong Saint City?"

"Kong Ban is the son of Shen Yi City City Lord, of course, he would have followers."

Yu Xuanji quickly put up a smile and said as he saw Zhong Yue's face getting darker, "Brother Long Yue, don't you worry. Although Shen Yi City City Lord is strong, it is not to the extent of being supremely strong like the magnates. I'm from the Qing Long Keep and my teacher is the Keep Master of Qing Long Keep, what need is there to fear? And Qimei's teacher is also an otherworldly expert cultivator, don't you worry, we have our experts heading over to Xian Kong Saint City. When we arrive, they will naturally come and reconvene with us!"
