Chapter 375 - The Third Calamity (1/2)

Hu——

The Golden Peng Sword soon found its way out, turning into a light feather, bringing Zhong Yue toward the mountain beside the sea.

But not long after he flew away, the sky turned into an ocean of fiery clouds – a three-taloned Golden Crow suddenly flew and clawed at him from behind!

"Asura's magnate?"

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat. This three-taloned Golden Crow was different from his Great Sun Golden Crow; it wasn't the pure sun spirit. It would most probably be a variation from the Asura Saint Clan, formed by accumulating a certain amount of sunfire and worshipping it for an extended period of time for it to manifest a sun spirit.

Its three talons were sharp, and each of them was about 700 square meters as they clawed down from the fire clouds.

Zhong Yue sneered coldly. He suddenly turned around and morphed into a body with eight arms, four of which grabbed onto the Golden Peng Sword with the other four holding Demon Saint's emerald leaf. He raised the two swords and slashed right at the incoming talons!

Zheng! Zheng!

Two loud voices resounded throughout the sky, and two of its three talons had their scales broken away as they began to bleed.

Meanwhile, the third talon clawed toward his head.

The Asura magnate's blood turned into the burning demonic sunfire with incredible power that violently surged into Zhong Yue's body as it tried to burn his Yuan Shen.

Zhong Yue let the demon sunfire into his body while he plummeted to the ground. He controlled the path of his descent to cross paths with the falling swords so that he could retrieve them on the way down. He reached the two swords and took a breath of deep air and sucked the swords into his mouth.

Dong !

Zhong Yue landed on the ground, and the impact force cleared the sand surrounding him while simultaneously raising a sound storm around him.

The Asura magnate reached his talon down toward the center of the sandstorm. All of a sudden, a loud roar, "Mangu!" came from the middle of the sandstorm and a six-eyed toad leaped out and sprinted away.

The six-eyed Star Toad was none other than Zhong Yue – the Star Toad form allowed him to travel tens of miles away in one leap and the six moon-like eyes could disrupt the dimension. Everywhere he landed, a mini sandstorm would be incited.

The Asura magnate missed his target, and he then flashed into the sandstorm to pursue Zhong Yue, but as of now, the sandstorm was already dense to the point of severely hampering his visibility. Furthermore, Zhong Yue didn't travel in a straight line, but zigzagged in randomly different directions, making it all the more difficult to find him.

The few magnates that had been in play were all unable capture him; this was a humiliation to them as they exerted even greater efforts to find him. They dove into the sandstorms with increased fervor, but they still couldn't find any trace of Zhong Yue inside of them.

The magnates opened their eyes, and the godly rays shot out like light pillars, ravaging through the dark sandstorm.

While from the Demon Saint's secret realms, the giants rushed out one by one into the sandstorm.

"Zhong Shan Clan member!"

Zhong Yue leaped around like a flying fish, bringing heavier sandstorm wherever he went. But all of a sudden, a Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner appeared before him, saying, "Zhong Shan Clan member, let's see how can you run away from my hands!"

Zhong Yue's body flickered for a split second and morphed into the six-eyed three-legged celestial being. It ran with three legs as he rammed over at the incoming Heavenly Dharma giant cultivator.

The Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner roared while chanting out a sentence of ancient demon language, "Agouzasil!"

His mortal body was then enlarged into a 1000 feet demon ape which was his Yuan Shen's form. Aureate lights then condensed in his hand to form a 1000 feet long scythe that he used to attack Zhong Yue!

Zhong Yue morphed into the eight-armed form and shot out Sword Qi from his fingertips before once more disappearing into the sandstorm.

Meanwhile, the Golden Peng Sword and the emerald leaf was clenched in the eight arms as he assaulted the Heavenly Dharma giant cultivator.

The two clashed for a round before they both retreated backward, Zhong Yue's skin was bursting out as the impact force from the demon ape ravaged his body. But even so, the blood that he shed would miraculously surge back into his body like sentient little snakes.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Dharma's scythe broke, and the emerald leaf sword was pierced into his chest that was bleeding a waterfall of blood from the terrible wound.

"Agouzasil!"

The Heavenly Dharma giant cultivator then shouted another war cry, and the broken parts of the scythe then flew back and reattached back together. His soul weapon was refined to an incredible state, having the ability to be restored from any state of disrepair regardless of how severe.

He then brandished his soul weapon and struck at Zhong Yue again. Zhong Yue then responded in kind and swung his swords again.

Bom——

The two clashed together once more, and Zhong Yue was struck to the floor as blood trickled out from his mouth. He had suffered even greater wounds from the last bout. After all, the 1000 feet Heavenly Dharma demon ape was stronger than him in terms of strength!

However, the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner did not manage to come out of the exchange unscathed either; a new wound was left on his chest, and he started coughing blood out while pressing his hand on his chest.

In the next second, the two clashed again, crossing shoulders this time. The demon ape struck the scythe's heft back at Zhong Yue, nearly piercing through his chest from behind while Zhong Yue slashed his swords backward and nearly severed the ape in half at the waist.

The demon ape landed on the ground, and just right before he was about to spring into action again, inexplicable sounds started emanating from the sandstorm. Sixty-four strands of Sword Qi flew to his flanks in just the blink of an eye before curling around him and tightening around him like a sinister cocoon.

The demon ape could only exclaim in disbelief, "Shui Zian's [Sixty-Four Sword Styles] ?"

Hua-la——

His mortal body and Yuan Shen was then diced into pieces and scattered across the ground.

"As I haven't managed to attain the full [Sixty-Four Sword Styles] , I had to incorporate the [Great Boundless Sword Qi] into the sword array to kill you. If it really were the [Sixty-Four Sword Styles] , I wouldn't even need to resort to misdirection to attack you with the Sword Qi."

Zhong Yue coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his six eyes turned even more nefarious as he caused the sandstorm to grew even fiercer to cover a total radius of over 800 miles.
