Chapter 302 - The Moon (2/2)

The sword silks perforated the soul weapons, and the Qi Practitioners were reduced into mists of blood in the sword arrays.

"Junior martial sister, let's go."

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er kept their Sword Cocoons and walked away, leaving behind the huge holes in the mountains as the evidence of the battle that was staged here.

The moon was high above the sky when suddenly the moon was slowly brightening, Zhong Yue looked up, and his face changed drastically. He quickly pulled Qiu Jin'er down onto the ground and covered them with the Kui Long's cowhide.

Qiu Jin'er was shocked, she said, "Senior martial brother, what is it?"

" Shhh, quiet!" Zhong Yue was anxious as he replied.

The moonlights shone down as the moon suddenly got brighter, all of a sudden, there was another moon flying toward them from far. The light of the two moons mixed together, and a bizarre scene of two moons appearing together was presented before their eyes.

The second moon flew to the valley where the battle took place, it stopped and hovered above the battlefield for a few moments before it started flying again. But this time, light rays were blasting down onto the ground, quaking the earth!

The light rays were raining down to the ground as the moon followed the trails of Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er, ravaging the lands of dozens of miles before the light rays hit on the Kui Long's cowhide. They could feel as if countless arrows were raining down on them.

The moon flew out for another few thousand miles before it suddenly turned smaller and shot down to the mountains.

After a long time, Zhong Yue lifted up the Kui Long's cowhide, and Qiu Jin'er glanced around. Her heart thumped in shock as uncountable needle holes paved throughout the whole land. It looked like this whole piece of land was a huge hornet's nest!

All these needle holes were shot by the light rays of that flying moon!

If it weren't for Zhong Yue who realized it quickly enough and cloaked them with the Kui Long's hide, they would have become sieves by now!

"That moon, it is from one of the four magnates of Xiao Mang Celestial Race, Xiao Yuan of the Yin, Qing, Yuan, and Que."

Zhong Yue's heart still undulated in shock. He heaved a breath and said, "She didn't come in person but commanded her people to bring her soul weapon along. If they saw us, they will then cast out the moon. There must be some Xiao Mang expert behind us while we were battling in the valley. They found us and cast out the moon in an attempt to kill us."

Qiu Jin'er was enlightened, the Xiao Mang experts were only tasked to bring the moon along and cast it out when they found them, after which, Xiao Yuan would control her soul weapon from far and kill them.

"Senior martial brother, it's too dangerous here, we need to get back to Swords Gate as soon as possible…."

"Of course we will, but since Xiao Yuan made her move, we should also return the favor."

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes, a Sword Cocoon suddenly flew out and turned into a sword silk while Zhong Yue cast out the beast god inner core from his psyche ocean and took out the tattered copper lamp. He placed the copper lamp on the sword silk, and the sword silk bolted away like a flash of lightning and disappeared into the woods.

"Xiao Yuan's biggest mistake is that she didn't come in person. If she did come, then I'll surely run as far as I can. But since she isn't here, her control over her soul weapon wouldn't be as smooth as usual."

Zhong Yue manipulated the sword silk with his psyche and traveled over hundred miles. In the woods far away from them, there was a mini-moon dangling above the trees.

Two Xiao Mang experts raised their heads and looked at the moon above them, one of them said smilingly, "This forsaken Zhong Shan Clan member must be dead by now? He is killed by the moon of our senior Xiao Yuan before he could even go far … Senior martial brother?"

A cold chill suddenly went down his spine. He quickly turned and looked at his partner to see three heads falling from his senior martial brother's necks. Something had decapitated his partner!

Immediately afterward, he felt a thin thread curling on his necks, and the next thing that entered his visions was his own body with blood gushing out from his broken necks.

Before his heads even touched the ground, a tattered copper lamp appeared right beside the moon. On the top of the copper lamp was a round, shiny inner core that held a divine aura. There was a faint image of a blood-red Xiang Dragon swimming in the inner core.

The beast god inner core revolved rapidly, and a strong force of attraction came within the copper lamp — Shua! — the moon was sucked into the copper lamp!

Pu-tong, pu-tong, pu-tong … the Xiao Mang experts' heads finally touched the ground, and their bodies collapsed down. Their heads rolled on the ground; meanwhile, the copper lamp was dragged away by a sword silk after it sucked away the moon.

A few moments later, Zhong Yue raised his hand and reclaimed the sword silk. He looked at the tattered lamp in his hand as it quietly hovered above his palm.

The beast god inner core then flew straight back into his forehead and disappeared into his psyche ocean.

"Junior martial sister, we may leave now!"

Zhong Yue stored the copper lamp into his secret realms and laughed, "Xiao Yuan is probably on the verge of going crazy now as her dearest soul weapon has been stolen. She might even personally come for me, which is why we must return to Swords Gate as fast as possible!"
