Chapter 131 - Aberrance (1/2)

"Brother Long Yue, seems like you are very interested in what's behind the door?"

King Teng's sights were sharp, gazing at Zhong Yue's countenance, scrutinizing every minutia of his expression, "The seal has a flaw in it, which was the door's key. While the seal was placed by the creature that left this place, its prowess was already at the level of magnates. In conjunction with the celestial blood coursing through its veins, and the consumption of the monster god Ming King's meat, flesh and even the bones ... All of these made the seal nearly impenetrable. Only magnates could have a slight chance of cracking it. But Brother Long Yue, just a second before, I caught a glimpse of joy in your eyes, and I can sense that your heartbeat quickened by a beat. Could it possibly be that Brother Long Yue has some measures to unlock the door?"

Zhong Yue smiled, and he nonchalantly took out the token that he plundered from Zhu Xian'er's corpse and said smilingly, "That's right, the key is right here. I seized it after having killed Zhu Xian'er, and it so happens to be the key that unlocks this door. Honestly speaking, Zhu Xian'er is of the insect race, and also the disciple of that creature. She came here to the Black Mountain secret realm at the behest of her master. Her purpose was most likely to investigate what the Saint City Lord was planning and also the state of the treasure that was sealed by that creature."

King Teng's breath turned rapid, he stared vacantly at the token in his hands. Moments later, King Teng lips cracked into a smile, "Brother Long Yue showing me the key, seems like you've intentions to kill me. You know very well yourself that once you reveal the key, I would kill you for sure without mercy. You are forcing me to kill you, and also, forcing yourself to kill me."

The key itself involved many things, it must not be exposed or otherwise, not only the 'big guy' would come for them, the Saint City Lord would also hunt for them. It would only bring calamity upon its holder.

It was all because the Black Mountain suppressed the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, and Ming King was the monster god that was tasked to guard the treasures hidden in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land.

Such a treasure, its attraction in the eyes of the magnates could be clearly seen!

Hence, so long as a word was spoken about the key, the holder would be doomed to an ending no other than death!

The key was the final piece required to enter the inner sanctum that contained the treasures that Ming King was tasked to look over. Whether it was King Teng or Zhong Yue, they would never allow each other to walk out alive from this place lest they spill the tales!

Hence, Zhong Yue took out the key right in front of King Teng, robbing himself of all options other than to fight to the death with King Teng right here, right now!

"Between you and me, only one can walk out alive. Taking out the key is merely an assurance."

Zhong Yue kept the key, his body rocked as he morphed into the eight-armed Ming King. He said indifferently, "King Teng, you held the name of the 'undying one', and you apparently have no weak points. Not even the Wu Xing Wheel experts can do anything against you. Along the way, I've seen your prowess, and indeed, it was impressive ... fairly admirable."

He abruptly stomped his feet heavily, bolting out like a nocked arrow finally let loose. In the blink of an eye, he was at the side of King Teng!

King Teng also rocked his body, morphing into the eight-armed Ming King, and the two clashed together!

Krong——

King Teng was sent reeling back, slamming into a gigantic pillar in the Ming King palace, he exclaimed out involuntarily, "Such a strong physique? You are indeed worthy as one of the dragon race!"

The moment he clashed with Zhong Yue, he could feel the overwhelming strength contained within Zhong Yue's muscles, channeled from his bones and through to his muscle and skin, culminating in a massive burst of power!

The overwhelming strength was like an explosion, sending him flying. He was evidently unable to match Zhong Yue in terms of strength!

"King Teng, when the Saint City Lord was ranking the monster Rebirth Qi Practitioners, you were placed at the second place, one step behind the Heavenly Monster, Li Jun. Clearly, your undying body is not truly undying at all!"

Zhong Yue dashed over in a zigzag course. One second, he would be on the left only to be on the right in the next. It was hard for anyone else to predict his movements. Eight arms quivered vigorously and all the weapons emerged in his hands — sword, saber, hammer, whip, shields and hook swords. Like a typhoon blowing violently, slamming over towards King Teng while he smirked coldly, "As long as it's not truly the undying body, then you can be killed!"

King Teng's body also shuddered as the weapons emerged in his own eight arms, slashing over toward his opponent. The shields collided with each other, blocking the attacks, hook swords clawed and slashed all around. They fought across from one end to the other, wielding and swinging their weapons, clashing and colliding with each other. The high-pitched screaming of the weapons resonated dissonantly throughout the room. King Teng was continually pushed back from the immense impact force coming from Zhong Yue's body. His body shuddered violently, and his control over his weapons was disrupted!

It was the same [Monster God Ming King Art], it was nearly the same depth and degree that they cultivated it to. However, Zhong Yue was able to suppress King Teng due to the overwhelming strength in his body!

"Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array!"

Zhong Yue shouted as he attacked while King Teng released a sonorous cry and all of a sudden, all eight weapons crossed together and formed the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array. He growled fiercely, "Eight Extreme Shield Kill!"

The powers in the weapons merged together and flooded into the two shields. The shields were raised up side by side, and he hammered them down over towards Zhong Yue. It was one of the transformations of the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array — focusing the combined power through the shield's strike!

"Eight Extreme Hammer Strike!"

Zhong Yue yelled loudly, the muscles on the eight arms bulged out as he cast the hammer strike of the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array. As the indomitable hammer collided with the shields, King Teng muffled a deep groan in pain and staggered backward.

"Eight Extreme Saber Cut!"

Bright white rays of saber flitted over at the heels of the hammer —Shua shua shua— slashing down at King Teng's head in a fan-like formation, from the left, right and top!

King Teng's arms wobbled vigorously, the shields flipped over and arranged themselves to form a shield wall, "Shield Wall of Defense!"

Zheng zheng zheng——

The discordant sounds of clanking metal could be heard endlessly, and as the shield wall was broken by the saber rays, they continued onwards to penetrate through the cracks on the shield wall!

"Eight Extreme Sword Slash!"

Shua——
