Chapter 246 - Larger, Larger, Larger! (1/2)

Lang Qingyun and Xiao Chuyun turned to look at the spirit of the monster god standing up high in the city's center... and they both sat down and continued drinking their tea. Gu Hongzi was the commander of the border province of the monster race, which meant that even if he could be taken down by Lang Qingyun and Xiao Chuyun working together, they dared not do it because of the spirit of the monster god.

With the spirit of the monster god at his disposal, Gu Hongzi had a killing machine under him which prevented the two of them from acting hostilely!

The spirit of the monster god was the totem spirit of Gu Xia City, and after being worshipped and prayed to by the many monsters and lords of Gu Xia City throughout all these years, the totem spirit had become the strongest existence in all of Gu Xia City!

If I teamed up with senior Chuyun and attacked Gu Hongzi with the element of surprise, killing all of the monsters in the city with the lethal roar of the [Celestial Moon Howling Art] , we might disable the spirit of the monster god and cause it to enter its slumber.

Lang Qingyun's face remained normal as he thought, Although the plan is good, the success rate is too low as Gu Hongzi is now wary of us. He thinks that I am working with the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. However, what he said was true; if one of us leaves, the other will die, and if both of us leave, we will face the wrath of him and the spirit of the monster god!

Thus, the both of them remained in Gu Xia City in hopes of keeping Gu Gongzi and his spirit of the monster god busy so that he could not leave the city to help Zhong Yue. Besides, they would both die if they left the city together.

Therefore, it was best for them to remain in the city.

What happened at the borderland of Gu Xia City?

Lang Qingyun and Xiao Chuyun were curious as to what happened. Judging from the reaction of Gu Hongzi, things seemed to be odd for the strong pursuers sent by the Xiao Mang Celestial race and the lotus white serpent chasing after Zhong Yue.

In the East Barren, there were many strong Qi Practitioners from the serpent race, but they were all well-known individuals, like the second disciple of Shi Buyi, Chi Liannu, whose strength was basically on a par with the elder-classed individuals.

However, neither of them recognized or had come across this lotus serpent before this.

Could this serpent be sent by Shi Buyi?

Lang Qingyun's heart thumped as he thought, Shi Buyi has poured in huge efforts to manage his power; suppressing the three islands, six cities, and four keeps; gathering a huge amount of elder classed existences; and greatly increasing the power of his faction. With that said, it is not surprising at all if this lotus serpent was sent by him to protect Long Yue, but why….

Little did he know that the lotus serpent was not someone sent by Shi Buyi, but no other than his fourth junior martial sister, Lian Xin, and never would he have thought that Lian Xin had devoured Chi Liannu and now planned to eat Zhong Yue so she could evolve into a Jiao Dragon.

Not only that, he would never know that the only reason Lian Xin fought with the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's pursuers was because she wanted to eat Zhong Yue, while the pursuers wanted him alive.

As much as the two of them wanted to know the situation of the battle happening in the border, they could not do anything as Gu Hongzi had used the power of the spirit of monster god to seal the area around the city. If they tried to take a look at the battle, they would most definitely collide with the power of the spirit of monster god.

And if the spirit of monster god or Gu Hongzi thought that they were about to do something bad, then a battle would definitely occur!

What actually happened at the border?

The mountains at the border of Gu Xia City were shattered into pieces by the battle of the two Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners. Their attacks leveled the entire mountainous area. The Xiao Mang Celesital Race's Qi Practitioner was an incredibly strong Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioner, and this old man was most definitely a Qi Practitioner that had been dwelling in the Heavenly Dharma level for at least hundred years. His first soul weapon was a lunar chakram that was so strong that it could cut Lian Xin easily, and his other soul weapon was that river called the Wuyang River, which was a celestial river in the West Barren. Once there were some celestial races that stayed in the river, but those celestial races had long gone extinct, and so the river was cultivated into a soul weapon.

With the immense power of Wuyang River, be it the strong water currents or the weight, one would definitely suffer heavy injuries even if the attack of the river brushed past the person!

What made the Wuyang River even scarier was the forever changing pattern of the river. Water had no permanent shape, and with that flexibility, as long as one mastered various skills and techniques, they could use this Wuyang River to cast them and even shift the form of the river to fit the environment!

The two soul weapons were incredibly powerful, and under the control of the Heavenly Dharma level old man, their powers were unleashed to the fullest, making his attacks extremely intimidating!

However, his opponent was Lian Xin, one of the strongest young generation Qi Practitioners, a talented monster that was hand-picked by the strongest existence in the East Barren, Shi Buyi!

Lian Xin was a deviant lotus serpent that possessed extremely dangerous poison, and her strength was far beyond than those of her age. She even ate her own senior martial sister, Chi Liannu, to increase her strength!

Just imagine the power of Lian Xin possessed right now, after she had converted Chi Liannu's power to her own after Chi Liannu recently siphoned away the power of a Heavenly Dharma level Jiao Dragon!

The only reason why she was unable to gain the upper hand even when she was stronger than the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's old man was that after devouring Chi Liannu, she had difficulty moving, thus slightly decreasing her overall strength.

With that, their strength was on equal terms, resulting them to engage in a fierce battle.

In close-quarters combat, Lian Xin's double split serpent pike was a very sharp and strong weapon, and it was also a very efficient soul weapon in ranged combat. Other than that, this girl had more than just one soul weapon; she had forged her shedded skin into whips that were just like another lotus serpent when she swung them around.

Some were also crafted into poison sacks that kept on emitting a poison mist that was incredibly hard to deal with, poisoning the Heavenly Dharma level old man, forcing him to spare extra power and attention to suppress the poison.

Her poison was so deadly that it could not only damage the nerves, muscles, and blood, but also the soul, spirit and even the psyche!
