Chapter 275 - Three Thousand Feet White Hair (1/2)
"Impossible, impossible…." Ao Shanshan raised her head and mumbled as she looked at the battle in the sky that seemed like there were flashes of lightning storming in the clouds.
In mid-air, Zhong Yue was clashing with the Martial Masters; the fight had gotten even more intense as the speed and ferocity of their airborne acrobatics mounted to a fevering pitch. All of a sudden, a corpse fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground, it was a Martial Master!
Four Martial Masters as a group would be invincible!
Four Martial Masters joining hands together could wipe off any Qi Practitioners of the same level, this wasn't an assumption, but something universally acknowledged by all races alike!
Engaging the Martial Masters in frontal combats was a perilous affair. Even for a Qi Practitioner that that had cultivated the Wan Xiang Secret Realms' power of myriad to every corner of their body or was equipped with defensive soul weapons and armors, they were still unable to contend against the Martial Masters!
Under the Martial Masters' barrage of attacks, the power of myriad would be crushed, their defensive totem patterns would be smashed, and their defensive soul weapons and armors would be destroyed!
This was why even the strongest physique celestial race in the West Barren feared going against Martial Masters in frontal combat.
Furthermore, the Zhong Li Race was also a celestial race; their mortal bodies were naturally strong. This was even more so for the Martial Masters of the Zhong Li Celestial Race who could manipulate their mortal bodies to the extreme — the Zhong Li Celestial Race was definitely the superior race in the ways of the mortal body among all the other races!
Every minutia of the body of a Martial Master – muscle, bone, skin, hair, and even sweat – from the Zhong Lie Celestial Race could be transformed into deadly soul weapons!
A strong Qi Practitioner could move the mountains and seas with their arcane power while a true Martial Master could carry the mountain on their backs and scoop the seas with their palms!
Death would be the only ending for anyone who was surrounded by four Martial Masters!
And now, this situation that many would see Zhong Yue's death as the only outcome was taking a shocking turn.
In mid-air, Zhong Yue was maneuvering like a frenetic bolt of lightning as he continued to defend against the simultaneous assaults of four Martial Masters. When the other Martial Masters caught up to him, he would have extricated himself from the encirclement of the previous Martial Masters and engaged with another group of Martial Masters. In the end, he would only commit against four to five Martial Masters at a time.
The Martial Masters were incredibly strong, four or five Martial Masters could easily break down his defenses to inflict damage to his mortal body. The skin of his body was soon becoming a canvas filled with cuts and blood.
However, what was more terrifying was not the Martial Masters but Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue's attainments in martial arts were no weaker than any one of them, while the power of his skills was way stronger than the Martial Masters.
With every move of his, a Martial Master would be slain dead, all of whom died in different ways as Zhong Yue employed a multitude of methods to deal with his opponents.
Some killed when the five melodic voices rammed into their head and had their Yuan Shen killed directly. Some died as he launched a barrage of punches and crushed the life force in their body – it was a tragic death.
There was also one who got too close to Zhong Yue and was sliced into three parts by Zhong Yue's sights!
Some were pierced by the sword feathers of the Golden Crow Wing and were dismembered into pieces!
And there was also one who was torn away like a ragged doll by Zhong Yue's three talons.
The Martial Masters can make thirty-six different hand seals with one hand, each hand seal resembled a way of attack; and with two hands together, the hand seals they could make would be much more, but even so, it wouldn't be as much as Zhong Yue's skills.
Zhong Yue could launch his skills out from any part of his body, catching his opponents off guard and his skills were way more abstruse than the other Qi Practitioners, stronger and better than the skills' conventional forms.
For example, using the same power of the Wu Xing Secret Realm, Zhong Yue's five elemental power could take the form of the five melodic sounds. Using five forms of soul weapons — bell, lute, flute, zither and drum, Zhong Yue could launch out the five melodic sounds and struck directly at his opponents' Yuan Shen in their minds.
Kuang——
Every time the musical instruments rang, the five melodic sounds would strike into his opponent's head and slain him dead, and a lifeless corpse would fell down from the sky.
He could also use the five elemental power from the Wu Xing Secret Realm and morph them into five swords, each carrying a different attribute — Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, Gold. In addition to the Sword Qi formed by the sword totem patterns of the[Great Boundless Sword Qi], the five swords were unstoppable!
He could also form into the[Five Finger Mountain Mark], slamming down his palm as if there were five mountains crashing down.
He could also cast the five elemental power as the[Five Dragon Divine Fire Cage]to imprison his opponents and smelt them away.
Not only that, he was still getting stronger and more proficient as time went on. His control of the five elemental power was growing smoother and more delicate; the Xuan Wu totem patterns on his bell was getting stronger in defense and lasted longer; the zither string turned into sword silks and infused into the sounds, stealthily killing his opponent!
All of these skills allowed him to stay undefeatable against the Martial Masters and even more, taking them down one by one!
And this was only the five elemental power of the Wu Xing Secret Realm; he also used the myriad power of the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, but it wasn't shown as it was used to strengthen his mortal body. It infused into his blood and surged all over his body, allowing him to heighten his strength in any part of his body as he desired!
His power was mixed with the totem patterns of the Immortal Body, catapulting his strength to a point higher than the other 23 Martial Masters he was fighting against. He has unleashed the power of the Wan Xiang Secret Realm to its utmost potential.
While the power of the Shen Cai Secret Realm was the core of Kui Zheng's Immortal Body, and Zhong Yue managed to attain a thing or two out from it.
