Chapter 276 - Experts (1/2)
Zhong Yue looked over to the white-haired man, every single strand of his hair was winter white, but he appeared to be very young; by the looks of it, he looked like a Martial Master from the Zhong Li Celestial Race, but why was his hair white?
"Disabled cultivators? Who dare to utter such words?"
Outside of the Lesser Void World City, the Qi Practitioners looked over at the white-haired man, and their hearts shuddered in fear, one of them shouted, "Xia Shengchu of the Xia Clan! It's him! No wonder he dared to say such words in front of the Slaughterer Demon!"
"Slaughterer Demon? You mean this Zhong Shan Clan member? I think it'd be better to call him the Sword Demon…."
The Qi Practitioners came from all the other races, and they were talking to one another, discussing, "Xia Shengchu is the prodigious son of the Zhong Li Celestial Race Xia Clan, a young expert who have awakened the ancestral blood. He is at the level of Atman Body and the most talented child among the Zhong Li Celestial Race for the past ten thousand years. I've heard that even the godly spirit of the Xia Clan awakened itself for him and said that he has the potential to ascend to the level of gods."
"I hear that he has refined his body with the fire of the sun, his mortal body is like a divine weapon, his achievements are even greater than most of the Martial Master elders! He might be able to enter the Godlike Board after a few more years of cultivation!"
"A strand of hair that can kill! This Xiao Shengchu is the famous Killing Machine, the battle between him and the Sword Demon must be appallingly intense!"
"The Slaughterer Demon has butchered a whole city and killed over nine hundred Qi practitioners. But when compared to the Killing Machine Xiao Shengchu, he is still somewhat lacking. After all, Xia Shengchu's name is well known for a long time. He had fought his way up from the bottom to the top in the Warrior Board. His achievements are the greatest within the past 50000 years. Furthermore, Xiao Shengchu has challenged and defeated all of the living Qi Practitioners in the Warrior Board, from the bottom to top, one by one. Unlike the Slaughterer Demon who instead killed so many Qi Practitioners in the Greenhorn Board to make a name for himself."
"I still think that Sword Demon is better."
"Slaughterer Demon is better!"
"Are you really arguing with me? Come, come, show me what you've got!"
...
Zhong Yue gazed curiously at Xiao Shengchu and admired Xiao Shengchu's attainments in martial arts. He controlled the life force and life energy in the Shen Cai Secret Realm, surging them into a single strand of hair and turned it into a white sword that was capable of killing his enemy. This Xiao Shengchu is indeed worthy of the runner up in the Warrior Board; however, he is now ranked third as Zhong Yue surpassed him.
"Brother Xia, who do you seek?" Zhong Yue said placidly. There weren't any signs of emotions against Xiao Shengchu's sneak attack.
Xiao Shengchu's white hair swayed in the air, his hair grew and shrunk with his every breath. It was as if his hair was alive; he clasped his hands behind him and said, "You've overtaken my position, I couldn't say much if you managed to do so after defeating me. But now, you've seized my spot away from me by slaughtering these useless Qi Practitioners. This makes me quite discontent. The famous Zhong Shan Clan member who had reverse opened the five realms, are you a coward who only knows how to bully the weak?"
"Hahaha, Brother Xia, you are right!"
All of a sudden, a figure bolted over from afar like a nocked arrow let loose, Chi—— piercing onto the city wall while standing up straight like an indomitable spear. The newcomer was a lady donned in a huge red cloak, her eyes were sharp like a warrior's, and she carried herself like a heroine whose clothes fluttered in the wind.
She had four arms, unlike the others.
Zhu Jushan's brows raised in shock, he whispered, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, that is Zhu Jiangyue of the Zhu Yan Celestial Race, didn't I tell you that I was ranked third in the Rebirth level in West Barren? It's this evil lady that is ranked second…."
Zhong Yue then remembered, during their first encounter on the snow mountain in the Lian Yun Mountain Ridge, Zhu Jushan did say before, that only two celestials stood on par with him in the level of Rebirth. However, he only said that one of them was from the Zhu Yan Celestial Race and nothing else more.
Zhu Jushan's face turned solemn and said, "Don't get deceived by her pretty looks, her true form can scare the shit out of you. This evil lady is just slightly higher than me in the Warrior Board."
Zhong Yue was surprised, Zhu Jushan wasn't weak at all, and he also had a thick face. It was rare for him to admit that Zhu Jiangyue was stronger than himself. Zhong Yue couldn't help but have his interest piqued, Back then, Zhu Jushan said that he doesn't fight with girls, that's why he didn't fight with Zhu Jiangyue; but now, he just said that Zhu Jiangyue was only slightly stronger than him, which meant that he had actually fought against Zhu Jiangyue to suffer a convincing loss in the end.
Qiu Jin'er then asked curiously, "Senior Martial Brother Zhu, what's your ranking in the Warrior Board?"
Zhu Jushan's face stiffened up, and he stammered to answer her question, just when Qiu Jin'er was about to ask again, Ao Shanshan conducted her voice directly to her and said, "Junior martial sister, shhh, don't ask anymore. Zhu Jushan is ranked at over eight hundred thousand while Zhu Jiangyue is at over seven hundred."
Qiu Jin'er was stunned, what a huge gap that was and yet Zhu Jushan dared to refer it as 'just slightly higher.' She couldn't help but be curious about the thickness of this celestial senior martial brother's face.
They all said that the Zhu Jian Celestial Race's face is the thickest, even thicker than pig and cow skin. So this is what they actually meant…., Qiu Jin'er thought to herself.
Rays flashed in Zhu Jiangyue's eyes as if there was moonlight shining from within them. They were cold and frigid, and yet, were burning with a pugilistic desire. She looked over at Zhong Yue and said smilingly, "You've surpassed me without actually defeating me, your ranking as first place doesn't look very convincing at all."
"That's right!"
The atmosphere suddenly turned freezingly cold, and it started snowing, a man donned in a winter white fur coat walked over. The cold breeze and snow slightly covered his outline and caused the fur coat to sway in the wind. A jade green luster would often be flashed across the man's pale face. He coughed and said, "Bai family of the North Barren Bai Ze Celestial Race, Bai Canghai, greets Senior Martial Brother Zhong of the Great Wilderness."
Zhong Yue returned the formality and said, "Senior Martial Brother Bai also think that I'm not fit to be the first?"
Bai Canghai smiled gently and replied, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong as a human could slaughter a whole city. This is a notable achievement; but, I think I might be able to do the same as well."
