Chapter 233 - Red Mother Colonial Anemone (1/2)

I've lost….

Jiao Qingtu lay on the sea's surface as he panted, looking at the moon shining bright in the sky mindlessly. As time passed, the moon eventually hid itself while the sun started to rise. He only managed to recover slightly, to an extent which allowed him to walk again.

This time, he had lost, in a very quick manner, and he was overwhelmed easily, which made him unable to find any excuses or reasons to comfort himself.

The Ancestral Dragon's heritage, only this will bestow me with the strength to defeat him!

Jiao Qingtu lifted his hopes up again. When he returned to the Dragon City, a few dozen young dragon disciples saw him from afar. They laughed and shouted, "Our strongest Awakening Qi Practitioner, where have you been, and did you enjoy your night with the pretty girls?"

His eyes twittched when he recalled his overwhelming defeat the night before. He shook his head when he entered the city and thought, Long Yue, I will come to you once I have reached a higher level after cultivating the Ancestral Dragon's heritage, and I will reclaim my honor from you!

And at the same time, in a huge underwater city in the territory of the Jiao Dragon Clan, the fire signifying the lifeforce of a person, in a soul lantern located in a huge basilica filled with thousands of soul lanterns, was suddenly extinguished.

The entire Jiao Dragon Clan may have been still celebrating, but even with that, there were still some of clan members that continued running the soul lantern basilica. Thus, the extinguished soul lantern quickly garnered the attention of the people on duty, and it was quickly reported to the elders of the Jiao Dragon Clan, which caused a great tremor!

"Jiao Shanyuan is dead!"

Jiao Shanyuan of the Jiao Dragon Clan, a Heavenly Dharma level individual, had died!

This Heavenly Dharma level Jiao Dragon, Jiao Shanyuan, possessed terrific power and was one of the mainstays of the middle-aged Jiao Dragons. But now, he had died quietly, just like that, and no one knew what had happened!

The angry Jiao Dragon Clan Master and the elders quickly looked into the matter. They located the corpse of Jiao Shanyuan through his soul lantern, but all they found was just a dried and withered corpse. His dragon essence, inner core, Yuan Shen, and energy had been siphoned off completely. Jiao Shanyuan had died in a very horrifying way, with his corpse completely withered!

The eyes of the Jiao Dragon Clan Master twitched and said, "His powers have been siphoned off by some kind of monster during their mating! Find the monster at all costs, and I want her dead in the cruelest way possible!"

The Jiao Dragons quickly searched around the region for the murderer, but to no avail. Then, news spread out and the entire dragon race was shaken. Qi Practitioners were then dispatched to look for any witnesses and soon, they learned that Jiao Shanyuan and a fiery red sea serpent had entered into the deep sea region together after leaving the city.

After more careful investigation, the dragons immediately traced back to Chi Liannu and found out that Chi Liannu was with Zhong Yue when he entered the Eastern Sea. They then lost track of her due to no one keeping an eye of her, as everyone was incredibly busy when the Sea King Sha Qishan rebelled.

"Chi Liannu!"

"Long Yue, where is Long Yue? He brought Chi Liannu with him, as he is most likely her partner and they murdered Jiao Shanyuan together!"

"Ao Clan, hand over Long Yue to us now!"

However, Zhong Yue was long gone from the Dragon City by then, and after a tens of thousands of miles of travel, he carefully took out the Golden Feathery Peng Sword. He was incredibly careful when he took the sword out, as if he were not careful, the extremely weathered sword might just shatter into pieces.

He then lifted the sword, and it suddenly flew up and away.

Zhong Yue immediately followed behind the sword. He realized that the sword's travelling speed was rising quickly from an incredibly slow speed.

After one and a half hours, the Golden Feathery Peng Sword had breached the sound barrier!

As soon as it breached the sound barrier, the remaining feathers on the sword were shattered into pieces, causing Zhong Yue's heart to race!

Although the Golden Feathery Peng Sword was part of the saint weapon, it had been weakened so greatly by the Pan Long Sword that even an ordinary soul weapon was better than it now. From the appearance of the Golden Feathery Peng Sword, Zhong Yue suspected that if it travelled in a more vigorous way, it might be shattered by the air resistance, just like that!

After that, the speed of the Golden Feathery Peng Sword continued to rise, forcing Zhong Yue to further increase his speed!

Not long after, the Golden Feathery Peng Sword had flown for four thousand-plus miles, and its speed had now reached twice the speed of sound!

Zhong Yue continued following behind the sword, but he had almost reached his maximum speed already!

Originally, his speed was only two times the speed of sound. But now, after achieving the peak level of the five great secret realms and the third Yuan Shen form, his speed had increased even more. His maximum speed could almost reach Mach 2.7.

But that was if he flew at full speed, which would not last long at all, as he could only sustain travelling at full speed for less than half an hour. After that, his energy would be depleted completely, and his body would not be able to support it anymore.

The Golden Feathery Peng Sword however, seemed to be still increasing in speed!

Not long after, Zhong Yue had no choice but to summon his Yuan Shen and form the Golden Crow Wings behind himself, as he raised his speed to the maximum limit!

After quite some time, the Golden Feathery Peng Sword's speed had completely exceeded his maximum speed and reached Mach 3. With that, the distance between the sword and Zhong Yue increased slowly and steadily. Suddenly, Zhong Yue who was trying his best to follow the sword, suddenly failed to catch his breath, and his wings retracted as an result. Then, he jumped on the back of his Golden Crow Yuan Shen and let it carry him forward.

However, his speed was still not any faster and the Golden Feathery Peng Sword continued to distance itself from him.

This is bad! If the Golden Feathery Peng Sword flies beyond my senses, then all of this will be in vain!
