Chapter 121 - Zhu Xian’er (1/2)
"Just only a petty centipede, could it be stronger than the monster Qi Practitioner?"
Zhong Yue suddenly stomped down, the front part of the centipede's long body was depressed onto the ground, but its tail was still on him. But in time the tail jabbed over, he had already receded back in evasion.
However, two splashes of the yellow liquid that looked like silk squirted out abruptly from the end of its tail!
Before they even got close, there were already two Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shields emerging before him —Chi Chi— two sizzling sounds of corrosion were audible as the two splashes of toxic silken liquid decomposed the incredibly firm and robust Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shields, leaving behind two small holes!
Such impressive toxicity!
His heart thumped in terror, he quickly slid parallel to the ground, the muscles in his body shifted and moved his bones, contorting his body in mid-air. It was a near miss as he dodged the two deadly toxic silks!
Chi——
The two toxic silks slipped past his nose tip and armpit, the acrid smell gushed into his nose. Although he had stopped breathing it in the first second, a small leak was still taken in and the psyche in his psyche ocean was immediately undergoing the same corrosive effect that his Black Tortoise shields were previously subject to. The sky turned overcast and gloomy, the sun and moon dimmed and his aureate psyche ocean turned pasty, losing its usual vibrancy, whereupon it began to emit a putrid stench!
Indeed worthy of its name as the beings created by the demon gods to fight against the celestials!
Zhong Yue visualized the Sui Sovereign. Instantly, the toxic fumes were smelted away, but the psyches that was corroded would never be able to be recovered.
Meanwhile, on his two Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shields, the toxic liquids started to creep from the corroded holes. The dragon turtle totem patterns and Teng Snake totem patterns were decomposing, the spirituality in the Gold Qi was ablating and the small needle holes soon ballooned into the sizes of large fists!
Zhong Yue quickly dispersed the Black Tortoise Gold Spirit Shields and reclaimed the unaffected Gold Qi. His heart was palpitating in terror; the centipede's toxic venom was too potent, even the seemingly intractable contextures of the totem patterns were corroded away from the roots!
The centipede lunged into the air, hovered above the ground and flew over to him at great speed. Zhong Yue moved, shuttling in between the towering ancient trees —Krong krong krong….— behind him came the sounds of crumbling trees, it was the centipede's peerlessly sharp legs that chopped the trees down!
"[First Sword Style]!"
Gold Sword Qi flitted out from his back. It turned into a sword silk and surreptitiously shot over to the centipede. Zheng zheng zheng!—— the sounds of blasts came and fire sparks flared on the centipede's body. Gashes appeared all over its body and faintly yellow blood spewed out from the wounds. The centipede's legs extended out and slashed with the Gold Sword Qi, and unexpectedly, during the clashes, the sword silk curled around its legs.
With a thought, the sword silk's power was fully unleashed and it severed one of the centipede's legs, rendering it powerless to continue its assault.
The insect race's body is so strong? Gold Sword Qi, return!
Zhong Yue reclaimed the Sword Qi. The centipede was growling in pain, it's legs jittered restlessly, crawling onto a tree and disappearing into the tree crowns. Looming in and out amid the thick leaves, it was changing and shifting places around Zhong Yue, biding for the right time to strike.
Zhong Yue stood still, numerous Sword Qi revolved around him in the array formation of [Fourth Sword Style], preparing himself for the deadly assault.
Suddenly, a towering tree on his right shook violently with the sounds of leaves shuddering before abruptly turning deadly silent.
[Fourth Sword Style]!
With a thought, Zhong Yue slashed out the four sword silks in the [Fourth Sword Style] array formation which enshrouded the tree. The sword silks shuttled in, out and around the tree. in a trice, the whole tree was diced to dust.
Almost instantly, the ground beneath Zhong Yue bulged, and not knowing when, the centipede sneaked down from the tree and burrowed into the ground, launching another offensive from beneath the ground!
"Interesting, so smart and brilliant you are, but sadly that's all you've got— besides your body strength and the toxic venom, you've nothing else. Which is why, you will end here and now!"
Zhong Yue inhaled a deep and long breath, dense Xiang Dragon totem patterns emerged on the surface of his skin while his muscles bulged up. Even the tendons in his body were bound to the Xiang Dragon totem patterns. Meanwhile, the slithering Jiao Dragons wreathed around him, and the immense powers of the Xiang Dragon and Jiao Dragon glutted his body!
"Ha!"
He stomped heavily on the ground, depressing the giant centipede beneath his feet just right when it was unburrowing from the ground with half of its body still stuck underground.
How incredibly heavy was his stomp? One could only hear a loud burst of sound as the ground of a hundred feet in radius cratered, sinking into a pithole of dozens feet in depth, and the hundred feet of ground centering around the pit was also stomped into stones like metals!
HONG !
Zhong Yue swung his fist, and punched down heavily. His fist broke through the sound barrier and released a loud rumble of thunder. The centipede's head was instantly pulverized, and the ground was splattered with its yellow blood.
But the centipede's body still quivered, it roiled underneath the ground, blasting holes up to the surface of the ground. Zhong Yue launched a fierce barrage of punches down towards it, its speed quick enough to leave after-images —Peng Peng Peng— the blunt sounds of each punch resounded together to form a cacophonous symphony.
Right when the centipede quaked out to the surface, he had already launched countless strikes at it in the blink of an eye. The gigantic body was ravaged like a ragged doll, and sent flying only to fall down onto the ground after toppling down a few ancient trees. Its body and legs contorted for a few seconds before finally stopping completely.
"Faking death?"
Zhong Yue pointed his finger at it, and one after another, its body became riddled with perforations from Sword Qi threads that were shot out of his finger. A shrill cry could be heard as it lunged out over at Zhong Yue in a final and desperate gambit. Pak!— all of a sudden, it fell down onto the ground, only twenty feet away from Zhong Yue, Sword Qi flying out from its mouth one after another.
