Chapter 150 - The Death of the Jade Dragon Keep Lord (2/2)

Although there were still countless monsters tailing him, eager for his life, a situation like the battle that happened that night where he was besieged by enemies would not happen again.

What worried him the most was the likes of Ha Ming'er among his pursuers that followed him tightly behind his back!

In the whole process of running away, his speed was even faster than during the night, but the same could be said for his fatigue. The entire East Barren is incredibly big and was littered with jungles and mountains. While the Gu Xia City is located at the border of the Wilderness, making it impossible to reach there in a short period of time.

Despite trying his best to return to the Gu Xia City, he only managed to push forward for five thousand miles during the day and he was even ambushed by some Qi Practitioners, forcing him to retreat a five thousand miles away to avoid them.

It was easy for an average person to run quickly for over 50 miles but the person's speed would decrease if it was over 50 miles. In order to be able to sustain a long period of running, one must slow down his footsteps and adjust their breathing accordingly to accommodate for the distance.

The same applied to Qi Practitioners. Although being stronger than most of the normal people, Qi Practitioners could not maintain an explosive rate of running for a long time.

Zhong Yue had been running at full speed from day to night, in which time he managed to advance nine thousand miles. But this took a toll on his body and mentality. As much as he wanted to rest, he was forced to keep on running as once he stopped, he will be surrounded by the monster Qi Practitioners brought by Lang Qingyun.

He then dispersed the golden wings and landed on the ground as he quickly visualized the [Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art] to recover the strains on his body and soul as well as his injuries. After a long time, he had already recovered from the injuries he suffered as a result of being dragged into the battle of Shi Buyi and the lord of Jade Dragon Keep.

Although his body and mentality were still tired, his combat proficiency was maintained at the peak state and the prolonged hours of running also increased his cultivation base.

But when fatigue struck him, he felt very sleepy and he wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep immediately, throwing his problems and stress behind!

Zhe——

A sword qi shot out from Zhong Yue's finger and he cut himself lightly on the chest. With that, he managed to use the pain he inflicted on himself to temporarily curb his fatigue and continue his escape on the Jiao dragons under his feet.

Somewhere in front of the path Zhong Yue was running on, there was a jade-green colored lake. The lake's waves surged in all directions and at the center of the lake, there was a lonely boat on the water. On top of the boat, was a lotus picking girl paddling while singing with a clear and beautiful voice that resonating to every corner of the landscape. She was singing a traditional monster song that storied a girl who and a monster hero sitting on a tree under the light of the moon, voicing out their love for each other.

The boat, the girl, the lake and the green leaves formed a picturesque scene as the sunset shone upon them.

As Zhong Yue heard the melodious singing, he was uncontrollably sent into a deep sleep while standing beside the lake but the dragons under his legs were still carrying him towards the center of the lake!

So tired… No! This is a voice art that is messing up my mind!

Zhong Yue had a shock and as he almost recovered from the charm, the singing sounded again, enticing him back to sleep!

At the same time, two powerful auras closed in rapidly, and the two pursuers must have been notified by Lang Qingyun and they continued to pursue up to this point!

Zhong Yue forcefully opened up his eyes and he faintly saw the lotus picking girl getting closer to him on her lotus boat. He knew that he cannot sleep anymore deep inside him but each time the succumbing voice sounded, he felt that his psyche, soul and body became very heavy and he felt so comfortable to the point that he could not bring himself to wake up at all!

Zhe——

Sword qi flew out and he cut himself again in desperation to stymie his descent into unconsciousness, but despite his efforts, his will began to succumb to the enthralling voice!

He struggled to open his eyes and along with the two pursuers, the lotus boat inched ever so closer. Zhong Yue then cast another sword qi and he stabbed fiercely into his stomach and twisted it, inflicting immense pain to himself which kept him slightly more awake.

The Heavenly Emperor on his throne that repels all sorts of evil!

Zhong Yue shouted and psyche gushed out from his psyche ocean while his soul turned into the Sui Sovereign that sat on his throne in the Flame Orderly Palace. With that, he was able to banish the seductive charm of the voice and his soul, psyche and body were roused from their stupor!

Yuan Shen out, Monster God Ming King!

Boom——

On his back, his soul leaped out and turned into the eighteen feet tall Ming King with eight hands. Zhong Yue then looked behind and he saw two Awakening level QI Practitioners closing in quickly on their monster cloud and as the cloud dispersed, two weird looking Qi Practitioners appeared.

Zhong Yue turned back again and he looked towards the lotus boat and the lotus picking girl on top of the boat as he smirked and said, "Disciple of Shu Qianqiu and the senior martial sister of King Teng. Am I right? Senior Martial Sister Qing He?
