Chapter 179 - Let Me Tell You A Secret (1/2)

"If the [Seventh Sword Style] could not deal any damage to you, then what if I add another two Sword Qi? [Ninth Sword Style]!"

In the secret realm, Zhong Yue moved at ghostly speed and as he ran, he pointed out his fingers and one after another, sword silk slithered like snakes in the air and flew into the dust storm. Those were the nine Sword Qi that formed the [Ninth Sword Style] in the [Sixty Four Styles Sword Cocoon] and they enshrouded Xiao Qin who was trapped in the dust storm. The two extra Sword Qi added by Zhong Yue was his Yin and Yang Qi that he cultivated into Sword Qi.

Previously, he was suppressed by Xiao Qin as he did not know the technique of using the power of the five great secret realms, which prevented him from retaliating. But after he managed to learn the technique by interpreting on the movements of Xiao Qin, he immediately gained the technique and thus, ultimately suppressed Xiao Qin.

Other than that, he also had the precious knowledge possessed by a paragon of the monster race on the various secret realms of the Awakening level Qi Practitioners – which was the insights of the current generation Saint City Lord, Shi Buyi!

And it was the knowledge and insights of Shi Buyi that allowed him to unleash great power with a lower cultivation base, thus, allowing him to turn the tables and suppress Xiao Qin!

As soon as the [Ninth Sword Style] was formed, the rocks, walls and bricks crumbled before they were cut into pieces by the Sword Qi and blood could be seen flowing out from the debris faintly.

The Xiao Qin's two heads roared and the ground trembled as the lady burrowed underground to evade the [Ninth Sword Style].

The nine Sword Qi followed behind her and they maintained the formation of [Ninth Sword Style] sword array. However, Xiao Qin managed to shake off the pursuing Sword Qi as the sword array was unable to operate efficiently underground.

Zhong Yue on the other hand, dashed forward and he launched a golden Sword Qi rain onto the ground in front of him with the golden wings that appeared behind his back, just like two giant golden turbines operating at maximum speed. The golden Sword Qi then cut the ground open before flying straight towards Xiao Qin!

The ground that was ripped apart by the Sword Qi was burnt by the heat contained in the Golden Crow Wings, even beginning to show signs of melting!

Zhong Yue then continued to pursue the escaping Xiao Qin and as he continued to swing his wings, he demolished the celestial temples and celestial palaces in his path. Wherever he went, the buildings collapsed and shattered!

With Zhong Yue high frequency barrage, Xiao Qin's path of retreat was completely cut off by the [Ninth Sword Style]'s sword array and the sword feather launched by Zhong Yue's Golden Crow Wings, leaving her no choice but to continue advancing.

Finally, she flew out from the ground and she took on the golden sword feathers directly as soon as she flew out. As she tried to withstand the attacks with her fleshly body, she suffered countless sword wounds, causing her blood to gush out from the open wounds. Following right after the sword feathers was the sword array formed by the [Ninth Sword Style]!

The golden sword feathers and the [Ninth Sword Style] ripped her flesh apart and left heavy injuries on her body but fortunately for her, she was strong enough and with her five great secret realms, she managed to regenerate herself quickly, preventing the Sword Qi from threatening her life.

"[Celestial Moon Howling Art]'s [Moon Howling]!"

Behind her back, the three Pan Ao head of her Yuan Shen roared and three moons flew out from the huge mouths of these Pan Ao before the three moons shot towards Zhong Yue.

One of the heads howled towards the moon and a moon clashed with the sword feathers, the second head howled to the moon and disrupted the channeling of [Ninth Sword Style].

Zhong Yue was shocked and he raised up his hands as the third Pan Ao head howled at the moon and released tremendous sound waves that pushed Zhong Yue backwards and caused his breath to become haggard. As the sound waves pushed Zhong Yue backwards, they destroyed everything they came in contact with, sending bricks flying everywhere and creating a huge pothole!

After the three howls, Zhong Yue had been pushed back a few hundred miles and the sound waves blew away the roof of the palaces while tearing those palace apart!

Whereas for Zhong Yue, his hands were hit so badly that his skin became flayed to expose the naked flesh beneath!

"The Combat Yuan Shen of the Xiao Mang celestial race lives up to their fame!" praised the countless Qi Practitioners observing the battle outside of the secret realm.

Xiao Qin stood in the air and she reached her hands to her chest and pulled out her head before twisting the bloodied head and fixing the dislocated neck bone.

Zhong Yue regained his balance as well and they stared at each other from afar, each of them no longer taking the other lightly.

A decent opponent.

That was the same thought that appeared in their minds as they stared at each other.

However, as compared to Zhong Yue, Xiao Qin suffered heavier injuries as Zhong Yue checked the toughness of the walls of the celestial temples and palaces and the ground as well. Therefore, he had taken the toughness of the surrounding into account as he took on the attacks of Xiao Qin bravely, preventing himself from suffering heavy damage.

Xiao Qin, on the other side, never bothered to check her surroundings at all due to her hubris. A few moments ago when she burrowed underneath the ground, she invariably placed herself at a disadvantage and she was almost nailed to death in the underground when Zhong Yue launched his golden sword qi attacks.

When there was a decent challenge, those who were more observant, careful and calm would definitely suffer fewer injuries and gain the upper hand.

Too bad I couldn't use the [Monster God Ming King's Art] or the Fang Blade lest I expose my identity as Long Yue. I cannot summon my moon spirit as well or the Xiao Mang Celestial Race would immediately know that I killed Xiao Chuqing.

Zhong Yue squinted his eyes as these thoughts ran through his mind. Unlike the other skills and spirits, he could freely use the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen as he wished. Someone in the Swords Gate had already long suspected that he possessed the Innate Sun Spirit Body and had obtained the spirit of the Golden Crow, something that would have been difficult to hide from the eyes and ears the celestial races.

It is slightly difficult to kill this woman with her incredibly strong body physique with these handicaps, especially with not being able to use the [Monster God Ming King's Art], the Fang Blade, and the moon spirit. But … at least this way there is at least some challenge!

Zhong Yue shouted and the wings of the Yuan Shen expanded while the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen stimulated the five great Yuan Shen secret realm, unleashing the full potential of his Combat Yuan Shen!

"Senior Martial Sister Xiao Qin, Xiao Chuqing and Xiao Chuwen's names all had the word "Chu" in it while you and Xiao Shan do not. I wonder if this could be a symbol between the differences of your positions in your race?" said a laughing Zhong Yue.

Xiao Qin stared at the Great Sun Golden Crow behind the back of Zhong Yue as the five wheels spun, something that only occurs only when the five great secret realms were operated to maximum power.

She too, needed some time to regain her bearings and so she replied, "Those who bear the name of 'Chu' were born in the noble families, except that their bloodlines were slightly impure. Other than that, there are also those with the name of 'Xian' in between their names. These would be the pure-blood descendants of the high priest."

"With that said, Xiao Chuqing must have come from a noble family?"
