Chapter 207 - Interception (1/2)
Long Chun'er and the ladies gazed at one another, their hearts filled with shock, "Wouldn't this man be a squarish man? Do all the humans in the Great Wilderness look like that?"
This … wouldn't the description fit more like a huge crab?
Zhong Yue was between laughter and tears, clearly the monsters were not familiar with the human Zhong Yue at all. Even the battles in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race took place in the secret realm, hence, not many images of him had made it to the outside world.
But the Xiao Mang celestial temple would surely not tell the world about their defeat and hence, when his name and image were spread to the other lands, they would usually end up twisted to deteriorate his image and reputation.
In addition to some other nefarious forces deliberately misconstruing his words, Zhong Yue's image had gotten even weirder.
Along the way, Qing He had seen how incredibly strong Zhong Yue was, this 'dragon' race was too strong, so strong that he did not look like he was an Awakening Qi Practitioner at all. The little skiff was sailing in the air, most of the time he would have slain his enemies dead even before they could come close to him!
His prowess, I suppose he is already not far away from the level of Atman Body?
Qing He thought to herself, Such prowess, he is nearly invincible in the level of Awakening, I wonder who is stronger between him and the human Zhong Yue. I'd really want to see the duel between the Twin Yue's!
However, she was also shaken at the same time, it had only been half a year since 'Long Yue' had gone into closed-door training, and yet his prowess had increased so greatly, she could not even see through his true prowess now!
The little skiff was sailing in the sky, passing through the clouds; another dozen days went by and the skiff was now only a thousand miles away from the Xian Kong Saint City. It was now midwinter. The sky was freezing cold but there were no ordinary living beings, such a harsh environment was endurable.
Suddenly, he stood up, casting his gaze afar as his face stiffened up, mumbling softly, "Atman Body expert…."
Qing He was shocked and her face turned ashen and pale all the while in disbelief in her heart at the same time, Are his senses really that strong that he can even perceive the Atman Body experts?
In contrast, Long Chun'er and the other three ladies were relaxed, their admiration for Zhong Yue had cast off any sense of danger from their hearts.
"Elder Sister He needs to have faith in master."
Long Qiu'er comforted her, "Master is invincible!"
Qing He was between laughter and tears, These little brats, they don't even understand the disparity between this heaven and earth. They have no idea how strong Atman Body cultivators are! The Atman Body Qi Practitioners are here for Zhong Yue, and they can just kill us away like petty bugs!
Zhong Yue flew into the sky from the skiff, he said, "In front of us, there is an Atman Body cultivator trying to ambush me, I can't guarantee that I can protect you all once the battle breaks out. Qing He, bring them and go first, wait for me in the Xian Kong Saint City."
Qing He was overjoyed and nodded, her heart filled with happiness, This is a good chance to run away from him, I just need to make my way back to Xuan Gate, and I won't return these four pretty little girls back to him, they will be taken in as my maid servants!
"Don't worry, I'll come looking for you very soon."
Zhong Yue's voice rang in her ears as if he knew what was she planning, "I'll catch up to you before you can even make it back to the Xuan Gate, you can't run away from me."
Qing He sneered coldy, powered the skiff to the max and bolted away. Zhong Yue then alighted down onto the ground and with a thought, two Jiao Dragons emerged beneath his feet, carrying him on their back while they marched forward, slithering their bodies, crossing over mountains and rivers while heading towards Xian Kong Saint City.
After marching across over hundred miles, a white mountain covered in snow came into his view. In the foothill, there was a woodcutter with a metal axe in his hand and a few bundles of firewoods on the side, the firewoods were arranged nicely, even their lengths and thickness were the same.
The woodcutter was shivering in the frosty cold air, he had a flint stone in his hand as he attempted to light a fire but kept failing. As the woodcutter saw Zhong Yue approaching, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Brother ahead, by any chance, do you have any fire? Please, this freezing weather is killing me!"
The twin Jiao Dragons slowly stopped. Zhong Yue lowered his sights and gazed at the woodcutter; he struck the figure of a simple and honest man, a monster with the head of a boar and the body of a human, thick calluses covered his palms, and he looked just like an ordinary monster boar.
Even the axe in his hand was tattered with its cutting edge ragged. He gazed at Zhong Yue with little eyes filled with hope.
Zhong Yue stamped his leg, walking down from the dragon heads and said smilingly, "It seems like poor and sad peasants are everywhere, I didn't think that i would meet a monster that cuts firewood for a living here around Xian Kong Saint City."
That monster boar laughed and said, "Brother you are making fun of me. The Xi monster race is a humble and low race in the East Barren, we don't have our own territory, and so we can only work and live under the other lords. Please brother, help me light a fire."
Zhong Yue flipped his palm, a little flame of sunfire was waltzing in the middle of his palm, he bent over and reached his hand out to ignite the bonfire. He asked, "How shall I address you, senior martial brother?"
The monster boar was cold like the winter as he cast a frosty stare at the nape of Zhong Yue's neck, raising his axe up and cleaved down while he laughed, "I am Xi Qiao, Brother Long don't forget me after you die."
He was quick, but Zhong Yue was not slow either; the moment Xi Qiao raised his axe up and cleaved down, a ray of saber flashed over, from the bottom to the top, a blade slashed up and parried the ragged axe!
Dang——
A loud and sharp din blasted in their ears, the axe was crushed by the seventeen feet long Fang Blade. Xi Qiao was shocked, he quickly leaped back and his body started to transmute, turning bigger and more muscular; his thick mane grew longer and bristled out like needles, especially at the nape of his neck!
Dong!
Xi Qiao landed down onto the ground and quaked the earth, when Zhong Yue looked over again, he had now transformed into boarman. Fangs were extruding out from his mouth, his eyes shone bright like lanterns, and he looked like a black wild boar standing on its hind legs like a human!
