Chapter 458 - Entertaining (1/2)

Chi Xue was a little in rage, Inner Core? And not even a condensed inner core? Then wouldn't he only be slightly stronger than the Atman Body cultivators? How would we fight against these experts then?

Zhong Yue then whispered to her, "Doesn't the Western Mother young ladies have many phoenix followers? Where are yours?"

"I have quite a number of phoenix followers as well, but they got lost on our way here." Chi Xue's face then turned frigid, "Feng Zhishan and Chi Qing killed a few others as well."

Zhong Yue nodded in understanding. Chi Xue was the most likely successor to the throne. Of course, the other Western Mother young ladies would treat her badly. Thus, in order to weaken her power, her followers were the first targets.

"But Feng Ming'er is also in the Returning Ruins, if we can rally with her, then we won't need to be afraid of anyone else anymore, and I also won't have to hide my claws anymore!" Chi Xue said with great determination.

Chi Yue'er and Chi Yun'er stood on the shoulder of a 100-foot tall giant, looking over in Zhong Yue's direction at the three of them and Husan Weng. Chi Yun'er then laughed smugly and said, "Sister Xue~ I heard that Sister Qing wanted to take you down, didn't she make it?"

The two young ladies were also from the Western Mother Celestial Race, having the same body features while below on the ground, there were many Qi Practitioners centering the giant. There were the phoenix followers and many other races as well.

Zhong Yue and the others didn't notice them before because the giant took all of their attention.

As they looked at the Qi Practitioners now, Chi Xue's heart turned cold. Among the crowd, she saw a few familiar faces, some of whom that were supposedly her followers but were now standing alongside Chi Yun'er and Chi Yue'er!

"That one, he is Kua Fuding of the Kua Fu Celestial Race. Be careful to not get get embroiled in a close-quarter fight with him." Chi Xue's face turned even solemn as she said.

Kua Fu Celestial Race? The preeminent race in regards to strength and mortal body, the ones most adept at close-quarter combat?

Zhong Yue's interest was piqued as he looked at the tall giant. Kua Fuding's mortal body shone with a metallic luster, his muscles bulged out like the rocks, and his dense aura seemed to caused the surrounding air to stagnate!

After these few days, Zhong Yue now had a rudimentary understanding about Kun Lun. One of the things that he learned was the name of the Kua Fu Celestial Race. This celestial race was crowned the kings of close-quarter combat with the sturdiest mortal bodies. A celestial race on par with the Black Tortoise and Western Mother Celestial Race!

The Kua Fu Celestial Race was even stronger than West Barren's Zhu Yan Celestial Race. Although Zhu Yan Celestial Race was said to be strongest in strength within the whole West Barren, it was still no match for the Kua Fu Celestial Race.

Zhong Yue was told that an adult Kua Fu expert could grow as tall as a thousand miles, with the body as big as the Kun Pengs.

In comparison to that, this giant Kua Fuding appeared to be only a young teenager. His body would be suppressed by the Returning Ruins, and thus, despite not being as big as before, he was still a few hundred feet tall, nearly as huge as the Heavenly Dharma's Avatar!

This told Zhong Yue one thing — Kua Fuding's mortal body was so strong that he could compete with the Heavenly Dharma expert's Avatar!

This meant that if he cast out his Avatar as well, his strength would be even more terrifying!

This Kua Fu expert had the strongest mortal body among the crowd, but the same couldn't be said for his cultivation base. That honor went to a certain phoenix lady.

She was a True Spirit magnate, and although a female, the faint aura that emanated from her body gave Zhong Yue a sense that she was even stronger than Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu. Her phoenix fire had been cultivated to another stage, transcending into the Fire of Nirvana that enshrouded he. Its heat was so terrifying that even Kua Fuding was unwilling to stay close to her!

Chi Xue replied with a laugh as well, "Why does Sister Qing want to kill me? She loves me more than anything. Sister Qing even says that she wants to work with me and kill you both. Right now, she is already hiding in the dark, waiting to deliver the killing blows!"

Chi Yue'er sneered at Chi Xue and hopped down from the giant Kua Fuding's shoulder. She said with a smile, "Sister Xue is being naughty again. Who doesn't know that you've already opened the sixth secret realm? Your reputation and fame has reached a point that even the empress is feeling uncomfortable. You are truly terrifying, that's why it is possible for Sister Qing to work with anyone except you!"

Chi Yun'er hopped down as well, her smile never seeming to fade as she continued, "But the truth is, we sisters made a deal even before the Returning Ruins. As we all have a common enemy, we formed an alliance. We agreed that no matter what, as long as any one of us bumps into you, we will kill everyone in your posse.

"This is why Sister Xue is only left with only a little kitten. Look at that, an Inner Core little girl and another one that even more pitiful, an early Inner Core Qi Practitioner, he hasn't even condensed his own inner core yet, even that chubby carrot is stronger than him! Sister Xue, is this how you are coping with life right now? With just two followers that aren't even stronger than lion cubs?"

Zhong Yue's face turned gloomy, the early Inner Core Qi Practitioner' that she was referring to was undoubtedly himself.

Husan Weng raised his brow in happiness and shot a contemptuous glare at Zhong Yue.

Chi Xue then looked at the giant Kua Fu expert and smiled, "Kua Fuding, an expert like you has no need to cooperate with them, right? You are alone, and your people are not here to support you. Aren't you concerned that they will sacrifice you for the Peaches of Immortality?"

The Kua Fu expert, however, remained calm against her taunts, and his voice that was like rumbling thunder sounded out, "An alliance with the experts is a natural choice to make. They have the map for the strongest Immortality Peaches Tree while I want the Peaches of Immortality. There is no conflict of interest, so it's no surprise that would join hands. As for me being used as a sacrificial object, I don't think that is any of your concern, Princess Chi Xue. What you need to worry more is your current situation."

Chi Xue then turned to that phoenix lady, and her face became cold like the blizzard. But her voice was still measured as she said, "Feng Qianyi, who gave you the courage to defy me?"

The phoenix lady then shook her head and answered, "Princess Xue, if you are to die here, then I don't think I'll be condemned as 'going against you', am I? Princesses, Kua Fuding, there is no need for any more talks, let's send Princess Xue on her way!"

"Careful!" Chi Xue then immediately mumbled softly.

Zhong Yue nodded and he answered, "You take care of Feng Qianyi, I'll handle the rest."

Chi Xue was startled for a split second, and she nodded softly and said again, "You… be careful!"

She then dashed toward Feng Qianyi while saying, "Feng Qianyi, you want to kill me? Then be prepared to be killed as well!"

Feng Qianyi stepped forward and collided with her former follower. She softly nodded her head and a phoenix hairpin flew out from her hair. It let out a clear and crisp phoenix chirp as it morphed into a phoenix that pounced at Chi Xue.
