Chapter 149 - Breaking Through The Encirclement (2/2)

Those mighty Combat Yuan Shen were tantamount to tofu in the face of the god's fang, easily chopped apart!

"Ahhh——"

Cries were let out behind him and the bodies of two Awakening experts stiffened as they drew their last breath before plummeting down to the earth from the sky. They were unequivocally dead!

Their Yuan Shen were rent asunder, and when one's Yuan Shen dies, his mortal body!

The other monster race experts were shocked, the Qi Practitioners who were attacking Zhong Yue quickly summoned their Combat Yuan Shen back. Zhong Yues' three-talon Golden Crow Yuan Shen immediately seized the chance to escape and flared out its wings before flying away.

Some Qi Practitioners began chasing after it, but the three-talon Golden Crow Yuan Shen was simply too fast, leaving them far behind his tail.

"He has not yet cultivated a Combat Yuan Shen, his Yuan Shen would not be able to go far carrying his mortal body, go after them!"

Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen carried his body as he flew. After flying around a thousand miles, his Yuan Shen had already reached its limits. After all, his Yuan Shen had still not evolved into a Combat Yuan Shen, the secret realms of the Yuan Shen had not been unlocked yet, and so his endurance would, accordingly, still leave a lot to be desired..

Zhong Yue recalled his Yuan Shen, an action that sent him into free-fall from the sky. But before he reached the ground, two ferocious Jiao Dragon emerged beneath his feet, slowing down his descent to allow him to safely alight onto the ground. They then proceeded to bolt away while carrying Zhong Yue on their backs.

Boom——

The ground shuddered, the earth began to split and a gigantic creature rose from the darkness below, "That guy did not deceive me. You are taking a detour route through the Yan Que Keep! Long Yue, I have hidden myself here for a long time, waiting for your arrival….", the creature cackled.

Without delay, Zhong Yue swayed his body, and multiple Jiao Dragons surged out from his body before burrowing into the the ground.

Before the hidden monster race Qi Practitioner could jump to the ground, he felt something below the ground biting his limbs, dragging him deeper into the ground.

"You bastard!"

The enraged Qi Practitioner bellowed in anger and he chanted as he was dragged into the dark. Countless totem carvings were lit up within the ten miles around him, beams of light intersected mid-air — he had set up an array formation on this spot waited to entrap Zhong Yue.

When the countless Jiao Dragon burrowed into the ground, they had triggered the array formation, allowing Zhong Yue to detect it beforehand.

The Qi Practitioner was furious as he raised his mountain sized fist, slamming it onto the earth. In a short instant, over hundreds of punches were sent out to batter onto the ground. The ground fissured and was cracked into pieces, even the crust a few tens of feet deep beneath the surface was crushed into dust!

The Jiao Dragon visualized by Zhong Yue was smashed into fragments. The Qi Practitioner leaped onto the ground, looked around to find Zhong Yue already bypassed his trap, and has long since escaped.

"You cannot escape me!"

The Qi Practitioner lifted his feet. He charged forward towards the direction where Zhong Yue had left, but after chasing for some time, he still could not spot Zhong Yue and sighed, "How could this brat run so fast..."

There was a presence of weak sunlight, the beginning of the dawn. A bright light rose from the east, Zhong Yue had been travelling for a full night from the saint city, a total distance of eight thousand miles. He was tired, both physically and mentally, his muscles ached, but eventually, the dawn of a new day had finally arrived.

Once dawn breaks, I will summon the Golden Crow wings to fly into the high skies, just right below the lightning zone. By then, it would not be easy to find me and stop me!  he thought.

The sky was getting brighter and clearer, the sun was peeking from the horizon and after a while, half of the bright red sun was already sitting above the horizon.

Suddenly, peals of laughter emanated from afar, trembling Zhong Yue's eardrums and disrupting the blood essence in his body. He was nearly unable to endure it and was on the verge of puking out a mouthful of blood!

Shit, is this another expert hunting for me too? His laughter alone is overpowering….

His placid heart grew flustered. And as the laughter faded, a hoarse voice said, "Shi Buyi, you took some time to catch up with me, seems like your [Monster God Ming King Art] does have some flaws, your cultivation technique is incomplete, leaving a great flaw in you. No wonder you had closed door training for such a long time, you were trying to get rid of the flaw, weren't you? You're too late now, I have sent Yu Xuanji away, you won't be able to find him even if you have a battle with me!"

"You really are cunning, Lord of Jade Dragon Keep, I have killed all the masked Qi Practitioners on my way here, I have even caught up with the Luo Ying City Lord and killed the little girl at her side, but still I couldn't find Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei."

Zhong Yue looked across the distance and found Shi Buyi standing on the mountain summit, while the other elder man sporting a whitish-green beard was standing on the opposite mountain summit. The two were confronting each other, with a gushing river between the two mountains.

"I'm curious, just exactly how did you send them out of the saint city?", Shu Buyi asked.

"Simple."

Long of Jade Dragon Keep smiled and responded, "The Luo Ying City Lord and I each brought a death warrior out of the city, while the others of the death squad followed us to leave the city. Our departure had evidently made you anxious and you were anxious to make a move to kill us. Once you stepped out of the city, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei left immediately. They would already be on the Eastern Sea, taking a voyage to Jade Dragon Keep while you were busy tracking us down for one whole night. It will be too late if you decide to track them down now, how could you possibly find them in the vast sea?"

Shu Buyi grinned, "Aren't you worried that I will hunt them down in the Jade Dragon Keep?"

"Well, my totem spirit in the Jade Dragon Keep, the Azure Dragon God, has been awaiting your arrival for a very long time!"

The Lord of Jade Dragon Keep sneered coldly, "Your flaws are very serious, if you battled with the Azure Dragon God totem, the concealed danger within you cultivation technique will erupt. Do you not fear death?"

Zhong Yue shuddered,  So it is true that Shi Buyi suffers from immense defects, it was no longer a secret kept away from the world….

"Keep Lord, you leave me with no other choices but to kill you," Shi Buyi sighed and said.
