Chapter 450 - Heaven River Swamp (1/2)

Shang Qing's face slightly faltered; the two Qi Practitioners that died in Zhong Yue's hands were, in fact, his martial brothers. Who would've thought that Zhong Yue wouldn't even think to negotiate before just killing them!

Ma Shaojun and the others were also killed in the same anticlimactic fashion!

"What is this, Senior Martial Brother Zhong?"

Shang Qing's face returned to normal and he placed his hands in the sleeves again. But the divine mirror was left outside, it hovered in mid-air and flew into the light wheels behind him. He said placidly, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, don't you think you are a little overbearing to just kill my martial brothers right when we arrived?"

Zhong Yue shifted his sights at Shang Qing's sleeves as if he were trying to see through what was underneath them. Zhong Yue then answered placidly as well, "If only you hadn't come back, your martial brothers wouldn't have had to die. But you did, and so you brought them straight to hell."

It wasn't hard for Shang Qing to understand what Zhong Yue meant by that.

When Zhong Yue saw them coming back, he instantly knew that it was Shang Qing who told Ma Shaojun of his presence. As for Shang Qing coming back right after he and Ma Shaojun clashed, he could easily tell what Shang Qing was planning, and that was to be the oriole lying in wait.

Since Shang Qing had such thoughts, there was no reason for Zhong Yue to spare their lives anymore!

Shang Qing's face turned gloomy, and his hands could be seen moving inside the sleeves. Zhong Yue's face also turned solemn as he readied himself.

Shang Qing was not a good target to tamper with, definitely not!

This was a strong opponent. From just the two bouts they had just now, Zhong Yue could tell that Shang Qing's arcane energy was no any weaker than his. And also that bizarre divine weapon, it had reflected the godly rays from the divine eye and shot it back at Zhong Yue!

What was more scary was that Kui Long Divine Drum's power was also reflected by the divine mirror!

Such a strong divine weapon, this was the first time Zhong Yue had ever seen something like this.

Furthermore, what caused Zhong Yue's heart to tighten more than anything else was whatever Shang Qing had in his sleeves. He had already revealed the divine mirror, and yet, his hands were still in the sleeves. This was more than enough to prove that the divine mirror was not Shang Qing's trump card.

There must be another divine weapon in his sleeves, one that exceeded the divine mirror!

Although Zhong Yue had cultivated his Awakening and Atman Body cultivation level to the extremity, his Inner ore and Heavenly Dharma had significant flaws. His cultivation in these two levels was not as refined as the Kun Lun Qi Practitioners' were. On the other hand, this Shang Qing was an expert among the Kun Lun Qi Practitioners, a young god and a formidable opponent for Zhong Yue!

The two of them locked eyes, and their auras surged out while their clothes began to flutter.

Suddenly, there were noises coming from a distance away from them, and some Qi Practitioners were heading in their direction. The two of them frowned while Shang Qing left without hesitation.

He didn't hesitate at all when he left… What a decisive man.

Zhong Yue dispersed his rising aura as well. It wasn't smart to fight with others potentially waiting by the side for an opportunity to attack, and it was because of this that Shang Qing had turned and left.

Husan Weng then suddenly asked, "This brat is strong. He must have some other strong weapons with him, you think you can beat him?"

"He is strong, but I'm stronger!"

Zhong Yue smiled, he answered, "In the Returning Ruins, I haven't met anyone that is stronger than me other than the magnates. The first time we met, Shang Qing didn't dare to fight me with his true strength. The last time we met, it was the same. Although he is strong, his mind is weak, and he takes way too much into consideration. The next time we meet, it'll be fine whether or not he walks away. If it's the former, then I shall send him to reunite with his two dead martial brothers!"

Husan Weng curled its lips and mumbled, "What a braggart!"

Zhong Yue was indifferent to Husan's attitude, and he continued walking forward. He soon saw a few demon Qi Practitioners looking at him from the other side of the mountain; it was precisely those that scared Shang Qing away.

Although the few demon Qi Practitioners saw Zhong Yue, they didn't do anything as the distance between the two parties were way too far beyond their reach.

Zhong Yue and the demon Qi Practitioners exchanged a look, and it wasn't long before the demon Qi Practitioners noticed the huge carrot beside Zhong Yue. They were startled for a moment but regained their usual composure and ignored Zhong Yue to continue their journey,

Zhong Yue and the demon Qi Practitioners went on separate ways, moving in different directions.

In front of them were clouds of grey mist. They usually hung in ruins and valleys, and when the breeze blew over, the grey mist would move as well.

The few demon Qi Practitioners had walked right into the grey mist and disappeared from his vision. But after some time, when the grey mist flew away, the demon Qi Practitioners were still nowhere to be seen. Zhong Yue's heart then skipped a beat, and he quickly looked around and confirmed his visions — the demon Qi Practitioners have disappeared as well!

Where did they go?

A cold chill traveled down his spine. The demon Qi Practitioners were not weaklings, and the grey mist's coverage was rather limited. Logically speaking, there was no way for them to not walk out from the grey mist!

Strange, how strange!

Suddenly, a patch of grey mist flew toward Zhong Yue. Seeing what happened to the demon Qi Practitioners, Zhong Yue sidestepped it, and the grey mist flew past his side. Zhong Yue activated his divine third eye to inspect the mist and shocked at what he found.

"How is this … possible!?"

This wasn't mist, but an uncountable number of stars and planets that were greyish black in color and compressed to a point as small as the water vapors. They were condensed together and moved in a clump like mist.
