"The saint city lord can't tolerate a dragon as his disciple?"

In the dark, the experts from all over East Barren were shocked before quickly coming to a realization — Zhong Yue had killed Heaven Monster Li Jun, who was rumored to be the saint city lord's disciple. Also, Zhong Yue's carnage on the street where he killed over hundreds of monster Qi Practitioners had invariably spawned enmity between himself and countless major and minor factions. Whether it was Heaven Monster Li Jun, or the bloody slaughter on the street, the saint city lord would not allow Zhong Yue to live on!

This six-eyed freak hiding in the shadow of darkness must be an expert that was sent by saint city lord with the purpose of uniting all the major forces and giving them directions to kill Zhong Yue!

"Go, go all out and hunt for Long Yue, I'll be thousand miles away giving his position to you all!" The owner of the six eyes guffawed in the dark.

One after another, the monsters bolted away, rushing to the route towards the Yan Que Keep.

Hehe, teacher, you let me steal the soul lamp away, but how could I possibly be your scapegoat?

Lang Qingyun showed his stature, he was holding a soul lamp in his hands while he sniggered, It's better if teacher takes responsibility as I will not be your scapegoat!

"Knowing my position and coming to search for me so quickly, seems like the soul lamp is really useful."

Zhong Yue felt the auras that were getting closer to him, and there were some stronger ones that even flew straight towards the Yan Que Keep. He sneered coldly in his heart,  Selling me off so quick and fast, this closed door disciple of saint city lord really doesn't worth anything at all! But wanting to kill me, it's not that easy!

His pace suddenly sped up, tonight was the crux, if he could escape into the darkness until the daybreak, he could then summon his Golden Crow wings and break out in full speed to escape. With the Golden Crow wings' speed, not many Qi Practitioners would be able to keep up with him!

Zhong Yue traipsed across the woods rapidly. He was like a specter – ethereal and undetectable. But it was not long before a Qi Practitioner neared his position. In the dark, a ferocious growl came from the summit of a huge mountain, Zhong Yue lifted his head and gazed over. There was a huge and humongous silhouette standing atop the mountain summit.

It was well-built and muscular, lifting up half of a hill with two hands and it abruptly tossed it over. The dark and blackish hill rocketed down towards his position like a falling meteor!

"Strong warriors from the monsters! These guys that possess such incredible strength are all Awakening experts!"

Zhong Yue's heart stiffened up, with a thought, countless Jiao Dragons emerged from the woods, soaring into the sky and clashed into the meteor-like hill that was smashing down, stealthy and furtively.

In mid-air, the Jiao Dragons came to the face of the hill and mustered all their strength to lift it up. While it was this moment where the silhouette atop of the mountain summit leaped down and smashed into the little hill!

Right away, the hill crumbled into pieces and rays of saber with dozens of feet long slashed in the air —Shua shua shua— The Jiao Dragons were eviscerated into pieces.

Dong——

The giant landed down, in the darkness, silver rays of saber light came right at Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue's figure flickered with an imperceptible movement, and eight arms, wielding Ba Ji Weapons, blasted out. Both of them were quiet and silent and the only thing that could be heard were the sounds of trees crumbling and the incessant ringing of clashing weapons. In an instant, the trees of a ten mile centering around them were all crushed away.

Against the pitch-black darkness, two figures could be discerned flickering here and there. Saber rays and sword rains flitted around them. It was so rapid that even their faces were blurred. The two combatants remained silent, the only semblance of communication coming from the discordant sounds of their colliding weapons.

All of a sudden, blood spouted into the air, followed by a deep muffled groan.

"What a strong [Monster God Ming King Art] not even a fly could enter its perimeter and the killing moves were concealed deep in it. You are indeed worthy as the saint city lord's disciple!"

The Qi Practitioner praised as a multicolored wheel rose behind his back. The unknown Qi Practitioner cast his Wu Xing Wheel that was immensely more powerful than the Awakening Qi Practitioner that died in Zhong Yue's hands during the carnage on the street. As the Wu Xing Wheel emerged, it started to repress the five elements, it spun slightly and the mountain rocks crumbled and the trees got pulverized to dust.

Meanwhile, in the darkness behind Zhong Yue, a huge eye suddenly opened — it was the sun pupil! The Pure Yang Qi in his eyes blazed bright like a little sun.

The unknown Qi Practitioner was shocked —Woongg— the Wu Xing Wheel flew back and erected vertically in front of him, he sneered coldly, "Ming King Divine Eye? How many times can you cast it?"

The small sun was immensely bright, all of a sudden, the eye closed shut and the surroundings were swallowed by darkness again.

The unknown Qi Practitioner prepared himself for combat. Moments later, he released a furious growl and slashed horizontally over while bellowing in anger, "Shameless prick, you ran away!"

Just when he was preoccupied with combat, preparing himself to withstand the assault of the Ming King Divine Eye, Zhong Yue seized the chance to flee from right under his nose.

Zhong Yue bolted away, threading in between the auras of the monster experts to slip past the encirclement by a fine line.

While at this time, there was an obscure psyche blasting over, forming into a wider and bigger circle. And the monsters who were flying in the air were suddenly beheaded with their remains falling onto the ground.

Zhong Yue groped over for the corpses. He lowered his sights to see the fallen corpses wearing masks on their faces – they were another pair that was pretending to be Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei.

"How lively, the saint city lord seemed to have also wash the city night with blood!"

He traveled forward at a swift pace. Suddenly, the sounds of streaming water could be heard, and the water mist grew thicker with the increasing volume of the water sounds. In the darkness, the mist had now reached a palpable density, before this, he was still able to discern the silhouettes of trees and mountains, but now, his entire visage was filled with nothing but mist.

Zhong Yue could sense the air of the monster experts coming close behind him, he gritted his teeth and rammed into the mist.

"Where did this mist come from? Which Qi Practitioner's work is this?"
