Chapter 142 - A City Soaked in Blood (1/2)
On the lengthy street of Xian Kong Saint City, the bloody battle was still ongoing. Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen cast the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array while his mortal body clenched seven Sword Qi in each arm leaving an extra arm to batter the coming monsters to death!
The Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array cast by the Yuan Shen was even more lethal, the monster Qi Practitioners that entered the slaughtering array would all be dismembered without even being able to put up a fight, and died bitterly!
While Zhong Yue clenched the seven Sword Qi in his hands, killing every single existence that obstructed his path like an unstoppable god of war.
But even so, there were too many monsters, and their attacks were all strange and versatile, each differing from one another. Some attacked in the form of sonic waves, some splashed over with streams of water, some blasted with light rays. There were claws, paws, teeth, tails and also all sorts of blunt weapons; attacks would come from the underground and the others descending from above — all this led to wounds mounting on his body!
However, the monsters that died in his hands were even more numerous. The monsters behind were advancing over endlessly, pushing and stepping on the bodies just to reach Zhong Yue. This led to their visions being obstructed by the monsters before them, leaving them oblivious to the tragic fate of their brethren only so that they would suffer it themselves when it was too late to realize
They all wanted to avenge Heavenly Monster Li Jun, but when they found themselves standing before Zhong Yue, they would be killed before they could ever launch out an attack. The death of these monsters would give way to the next batch of monsters to have their lives reaped, and this process would seemingly continue ad infinitum!
"Who's going to stop them?"
On top of one of the jade buildings, a monster elder's countenance changed drastically upon seeing how quickly the situation below was devolving into a gory slaughter. The formerly boisterous street had now become a macabre abattoir. He stomped his feet incessantly and said unsettlingly, "This can't go on anymore. If the younger generation continues to die like this, the future of the monster race would be placed in jeopardy!"
There were over hundreds of monster Qi Practitioners that had died under Zhong Yue's hand. Their remains piled up on the street to form mountains, as both sides continued their furious battle. The only things that could be seen and heard were the flying corpses and the gruesome sounds of death. Even the buildings on the sides of the streets swayed violently from the repercussions of the skills and soul weapons. Some buildings were even sent crumbling down to ruins!
The monsters partaking in the battle were unable to see such things on the ground, but the scene entered into the eyes of the experts on the top of the jade buildings as clear as day. It was too disastrous, the sea of monsters advancing forward wave upon wave, one after another. If this continued on, the number of monsters that would die today would be uncountable!
In a jade building beside, an elder shook his head, "Long Yue of the East Ocean dragon race has killed Heavenly Monster Li Jun and enraged the crowd. And yet, before the battle, Heavenly Monster Li Jun had piqued the crowds, galvanizing their spirits into a fanatic unity. And as he was killed, the collective will that he commanded from the monsters was all transmuted into an undying impulse to avenge his death. What could possibly be done to awaken them from their madness?"
The other older generation experts nodded their heads and assented, "Who could have such an awe-inspiring prestige?"
Krong——
All of a sudden, the two experts, Meng Xiang and Meng She rammed into the battlefield. Among the two, one of them was at the level of Rebirth while the other was an Awakening Qi Practitioner who had opened the Wan Xiang Wheel. Meng Xiang was in the front, he changed back into his true form, a mongoose with a long draggy tail and sized like an elephant. He opened his mouth and bit down at Zhong Yue!
While Meng She stood in the palm of his mongoose Yuan Shen, within the body of the Yuan Shen came two light buzzing sounds, and Wu Xing Wheel and Wan Xiang Wheel emerged out!
These two Qi Practitioners were close friends with Heavenly Monster Li Jun. And as they moved, the other experts who were acquaintances to Heavenly Monster Li Jun also joined the battle.
Yu Xuanji gave a cold sneer, he yelled, "Trying to take advantage of numbers to bully Brother Long Yue? Senior Martial Brother Hei, call up the Qi Practitioners of our Jade Dragon Keep!"
Hei Hu gave a long whistle, the tiger's whistle reverberated through the air, and the many Qi Practitioners of the Jade Dragon Keep that were just watching before now lunged into the battlefield in Zhong Yue's aid.
Meanwhile, Hu Qingqing also released a long whistle, and the monster Qi Practitioners of the Luo Ying City soon followed suit!
"Things are devolving even further, this is bad!" one of the elders was stomping incessantly.
All of a sudden, an overwhelmingly strong and preeminently awe-inspiring aura rose from the lord's manor. It was thick and hefty, like a god or devil. It trembled the hearts of many and sent their bodies to quake in terror.
Such an overpowering aura, it had shuddered all of the Qi Practitioners right away when it surged out!
The saint city lord of the Xian Kong Saint City, the strongest existence in the monster race, had finally stepped in!
"Stop, now!"
A majestic and dignified voice came from the lord's manor, resounding in the upper air wholly around the saint city. There was blood oozing out from the ears on some of the monsters with a weaker cultivation base, and even more so, some even fainted immediately!
The battle on the street suddenly stopped, all of the monsters regained their sanity and all that was left in their hearts was awe and terror, all thoughts of avenging Heavenly Monster Li Jun was purged from their mind, only leaving behind abject panic and fear.
Zhong Yue also stopped, his breath was heavy and short, and fresh blood was still flowing down from the Sword Qi in his hands.
A gentle breeze blew over, carrying with it the thick and sanguine smell of blood in the air. It was only then that the monsters started to notice the corpses and half-curdled blood on the ground. The blood that pooled beneath their feet reached up to their ankles, and their bodies were soaked with the same. It was only now that they noticed that the whole street had now been turned into a bloody incarnation of hell!
