Chapter 154 - Your Ill-intent Brings You Death (1/2)

"Ying brothers, well done!" Meng She bellowed out, he crouched and lowered his body, springing himself up into the air and clawing over at the plummeting Zhong Yue!

"Now come down and die!"

Just as his hands were about to land on his target, Zhong Yue's charred figured suddenly moved and Jiao Dragons emerged to barely help him slip past under Meng She's attack.

"[Million Miles The Dragon Soars]!"

Zhong Yue soared in the air as if he was swimming, bolting towards Gu Xia City.

"How are you not severely wounded under the lightning strike?"

Meng She missed his target, and his heart shuddered. All of a sudden, he clenched his palm into a fist and punched over, the power of the [Mountain Quaking Godly Fist] was unleashed and blasted the air, compressing them into a dense shockwave that impacted onto Zhong Yue's back!

Quickly, Zhong Yue turned around and took the blow, his body swayed violently before falling to the ground, with blood spurting out from his mouth. But as he was descending, he immediately bounced back up and dashed towards Gu Xia City.

Meng She bellowed in anger, trying to stomp onto the air and chase after Zhong Yue, but his body was too heavy, he could not stop himself from falling down from the air. And just as he plummeted down, Meng Xiang leaped into the air from the other side, his psyche curled on the stone pillars and came closer to Zhong Yue!

"Little brother Xiang, come back! You are no match for him!"

Meng She's face changed drastically, he quickly shouted, "Ying brothers, quickly catch up to that Long Yue brat!"

Meanwhile, the Ying Ji and Ying Bai brothers were as dead as coal. They fell down from the sky with their charred bodies, immobile as black fumes and blood was constantly released out of them. Clearly, they had suffered injuries a few folds more severe than Zhong Yue!

The Yuan Shen was also the atman; they were inherently Yin in nature whereas lightning was Yang in nature. Yin and Yang co-existed together and hence, the lightning would naturally be attracted to strike them.

The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the lightning one would attract, this was also the case as one flew higher in the sky. It could be said that even an overwhelming cultivator on par with magnates could not exit out of the atmosphere. This was because as the magnates' Yuan Shen were stronger, the lightnings they would attract would be immensely strong too!

Only when one ascended to the level of the gods, realigning the attribute of the Yuan Shen to pure Yang, could they avoid from getting struck by the lightning.

Ying Ji and Ying Bai were both cultivators that had their Yuan Shen opened to the Wu Xing Realm. Hence, the lightning they attracted was far stronger than Zhong Yue's. A single strike of lightning had the potential to reap their lives!

Although Zhong Yue was also getting struck by the lightning, he had tempered his body and soul with lightning during his days in Swords Gate. Although the lightning that struck him was terrifyingly strong, the injuries they inflicted upon him were not as severe as Ying Ji and Ying Bai.

And as of now, the two Ying brothers were struck into a swoon by the lightnings, they could not even defend themselves, let alone flying over to save Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang mustered his strength and dashed over, gradually increasing his speed, leaving a thunderous boom in his wake. Sure enough, he could not hear the Meng She's shouts behind him. And it was this moment that seven strands of sword silk emerged consecutively in front of him, positioned vertically upright and looking like thin cicada's wings.

Meng Xiang's speed was ghostly and in his dash towards Zhong Yue, he was left with no time to react as he passed straight through the sword silks.

His figure maintained his incredible speed, but slowly, he was split into eight pieces. Each of the pieces continued flying forward for another mile before collapsing down onto the ground. Meanwhile, the stone pillars that were manipulated by his psyche also fell from the sky with the death of its controller.

The seven sword silks flew up inconspicuously and bolted back towards the fast running Zhong Yue before disappearing into his body.

"Little Brother Xiang!"

Meng She shouted out loud, he leaped incessantly into the air as if he was flying, trying to catch up towards Zhong Yue. His speed was faster than Meng Xiang and his prowess was stronger. Against him, Zhong Yue knew that the sword silks would not work nearly as well as they did against Meng Xiang. Hence, he put his head forward and ran with all his might, trying to step into the territorial land of the Gu Xia City before Meng Xiang up to him.

The boundary tablet between the Savanna Wasteland and Gu Xia City was getting closer, and so was the distance between Meng She and Zhong Yue. Finally, Zhong Yue rushed past the boundary tablet into the Gu Xia City territorial land. He turned around and looked back, Meng She had leaped up high into the air, smashing down like a small mountain right at him. Immediately, his countenance changed, he visualized the Golden Crow wings and bolted into the sky!

"Do you think you can just run away after killing my Little Brother Xiang?"

Meng She growled in anger, he punched out his fist and instantly, golden feathers scattered in the air. Zhong Yue muffled a deep groan as his Golden Crow wings were blasted off, and he fell down from the sky uncontrollably.

Meng She took a step forward, the air beneath was blasted away with his every stomp. He soon reached a speed in the air that was no slower than his speed on the ground.

"Come down here, [Mountain Quaking Godly Fist]!"

Meng She roared and growled, mustering his strengths and running crazily. He launched one punch after another at Zhong Yue. The winds blasted by the punches compressed the air, disrupting the air beneath Zhong Yue causing him to miss the stomps as he got battered by the punches. He was forced to stop intermittently in order to defend himself against the blows of the [Mountain Quaking Godly Fist].

"Meng She, come back!"

The Earth Dragon raised his head up and prompted loudly, "That is the territorial land of City Lord Gu Hongzi, his prowess is incredibly strong. You'll have to notify him before you enter his land to kill his lords!

"Notify my ass!"

Meng She's eyes turned crimson red and he shouted furiously, "He killed my Little Brother Xiang, I'll avenge my brother! What's with this Gu Hongzi, enraging me, I'll kill him along together with this dragon!"

"You are blinded by your hatred!" Earth Dragon stomped his feet, he wanted to enter Gu Hongzi's territorial land but he hesitated with worry.

In mid-air, Zhong Yue walked quickly, his body flickered about, but it could not stop his injuries from getting heavier. Soon, he could feel that his body was reaching its limit, and the wounds were still gradually increasing and getting heavier. The Martial Masters' flying combat skills were strong, but it placed a great strain on the body's energy. It was simply impossible to continue walking through the air as he has been doing.
