Chapter 245 - The Moon That Shines on The River (1/2)
Finally, the border of Gu Xia City!
Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and was overjoyed when he saw the boundary stone stele of Gu Xia City. All of a sudden, dozens of auras entered his senses. He quickly looked over and saw a five hundred- foot long ship coming over in an oblique angle, with dozens of Xiao Mang experts standing on the deck!
These Xiao Mang experts were incredibly strong; the weakest of them were at the Atman Body level, while the strongest one was nearly as strong as Lian Xin, a Heavenly Dharma cultivator!
Shit!
Zhong Yue was shocked, the ship with the Xiao Mang experts were coming from his right. By the looks of it, they would be able to stop him down before he entered the territorial lands of Gu Xia City!
While behind him, was the thousand-foot long python Lian Xin!
Immediately, he conjectured out the entire process of development, it must be Lang Qingyun who had notified the Xiao Mang Celestial Race that "Long Yue" was the one who killed Xiao Chuqing, and also the one who had ascended to the moon. The Xiao Mang Celestial Race had sent out these experts to kill him!
With my current speed, the Xiao Mang experts will be faster than me! I'm left with no choice then, Yuan Shen's second form!
Zhong Yue let out a ferocious roar. He was initially traveling in the third form of the moon spirit, the six-eyed celestial being, along with the aid of the psyche-visualized Golden Crow wings to fly.
But now, his mortal body started to morph, changing from the six-eyed celestial being into the moon spirit's second form, the six-eyed Star Toad!
Zhong Yue's mortal body changed. In a split second, his body structures had changed drastically into a two hundred-foot tall creature, the six-eyed Star Toad, plummeting down to the ground!
Krong…!
The mountainous six-eyed Star Toad crashed into the woods. He then leapt and traveled another dozen miles, jumping like a mountain was flying in the sky, he traveled at a great speed!
Before this, he was using half arcane energy and half mortal body while traveling. Now, he was relied solely on his mortal body, straining his mortal body into a whole new level of action. The Star Toad was a creature of strength naturally, and in addition to the fullest power of the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, his speed was even slightly faster than flying!
"It's really the moon spirit!"
On the huge ship, the Xiao Mang experts saw Zhong Yue morphing into the form of the Star Toad, they were all shocked and sneered in anger. Their leader, an old Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner, sneered coldly and all of a sudden, a huge hand emerged behind him as it lunged forward, reaching for Zhong Yue! As it traveled toward Zhong Yue, the hand got bigger and larger, clawing down at him like a sky net!
The hand was formed by totem patterns. There was a vague bright white sun in the middle of the palm; it was the Avatar of the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner!
On the ship, the other Xiao Mang experts stood steadfast. There was no point in casting their skills as Zhong Yue was too fast and they were still quite a distance away, their skills wouldn't be able to reach him.
At a distance of fifty miles, only the Heavenly Dharma cultivators' skills could catch up to Zhong Yue's speed and take him down.
The Heavenly Dharma cultivator had launched his attack, and just when the gigantic hand was about to take down the two hundred foot Star Toad that was Zhong Yue, the ship was suddenly shaken violently!
Krong…! A loud burst of noise erupted in their ears as a huge hole was smashed through the ship!
A thousand feet white lotus python rammed through the vessel, its giant body crashing right through the bottom of the ship, breaking the wooden ship apart and tossing the Xiao Mang experts on the deck off-balance.
"Xiao Mang Celestial Race, how dare you try to steal my food away from me!"
The lotus python slithered out from the huge hole she created on the ship, she gave a shrieking cry and lashed out her tail like a huge pillar, slashing away the ship's sailing mast. Following a loud creaking sound, the sailing mast broke away and the experts were shaken off the ship!
The old Heavenly Dharma Xiao Mang Celestial's face turned solemn, he was as steady as if he had nailed his feet to the deck, continuing to control his totem patterned-hand and grabbing at Zhong Yue. Clearly, he didn't want to give up such a great chance and allow Zhong Yue to escape once again.
The lotus python wound around the ship, exerted her strength, and constricted the ship as if it was prey, quickly reducing the ship to bits and pieces.
The old Heavenly Dharma Xiao Mang expert was hurled off-balance and the totem-patterned hand jerked suddenly, missing Zhong Yue between its fingers. Zhong Yue slipped past the gigantic hand and crashed onto the stone stele on the devastated mountain. Along with a few crumbled mountain rocks, he fell down to the bottom of the mountain dozens of miles away!
"Who is this wild snake, what gave you the guts to interfere in the mission of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!"
The old Heavenly Dharma Xiao Mang expert groaned angrily. Swaying as another two heads emerged from his neck, he reached his hand out and grabbed onto Lian Xin's snake's tail, hurling it down heavily as he bellowed, "You are just volunteering to die!"
He didn't recognize Lian Xin. In fact, only a handful of monsters knew of Lian Xin's true form. In her true form, how could a celestial possibly recognize her?
Furthermore, even if he knew it was her, the old Heavenly Dharma Xiao Mang expert wouldn't care much either. He was after all, a proud and conceited celestial; he wouldn't care if she was Shi Buyi's disciple, or a young and promising cultivator of East Barren. In his eyes, those who hindered his mission should be killed!
The order he received was to take down Long Yue and bring him back to the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple for judgment, while Lian Xin wanted to eat Long Yue and siphon his draconic Qi so that she could transcend into a Jiao Dragon.
