Chapter 651 - The Strong Lives, The Weak Dies (1/2)
Battle cries echoed throughout the bridge; Qi Practitioners were fiercely locked in battle just to get onto the bridge while the Reverse Emperor shouted, "Zhong Yue! You won against me because you had every element for yourself! Now, let's see how are you supposed to win me without the power of the sun or the Metamagnet Divine Rays!"
And he was right; Zhong Yue only managed to triumph over him because he had the environmental advantage; the sun light and metamagnet divine rays drawn towards them by the solar storms played a very big part in him defeating the Reverse Emperor.
Here, with the absence of these advantages, Zhong Yue had no other options left, and all he could do was go head on against the Reverse Emperor, which gave Reverse Emperor the confidence to challenge Zhong Yue right now!
The strength of the Reverse Emperor was ridiculous; he was, after all, an ancient demon king who, even after he reborn with limited strength, was still among the best of the best in terms of power!
"Jin'er, clear us a path!"
Zhong Yue ordered Qiu Jin'er and she quickly activated her true spirit, forming two dragons under her leg as she charged towards the foes in front of her.
With his back facing Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai, Zhong Yue was now met with the Reverse Emperor's blood axe; as he swung his blood axe, a blood red demonic eye emerged and the energy of the axe shot out from the eye!
It was none other than the [Eye of Burying Emperor]!
The white haired young man reached for his back against this attack, and he pulled his saber out of its sheath, exposing the eye-catching Solar Divine Saber. A solar storm then erupted, launching powerful waves of energy toward the [Eye of Burying Emperor]!
The two exchanged positions, and both let out a pained groan; the heart of the Reverse Emperor thumped at the immense power he felt coming from Zhong Yue's attack; it was so much more powerful than the last time they met!
How is this possible? How did his power increase so sharply?
Things did not end just like that; as they dashed past each other, Zhong Yue's white hair grew rapidly before they suddenly turning into incredibly sharp as it shot towards the back of Reverse Emperor. Zhong Yue also swung his Solar Divine Saber towards the back of Reverse Emperor. As he swung his saber, the saber turned into a saber sheath and he quickly launched [Moon Tide] with lightning speed!
Facing against Zhong Yue's attack, Reverse Emperor reached out his hand and a bloodied banner appeared; he waved the banner towards his back, fending off the white hairs. He waved the banner again, unleashing the remnants of countless godly corpses. These corpses had ugly expressions on their faces as they roared angrily. Their never ending hunger for Yuan Shen, life essence, flesh and psyche felt like they were going to devour every Qi Practitioners around them.
Zhong Yue turned around, swung his saber in a crescent and cut the bloodied banner of Reverse Emperor apart effortlessly.
Zhe—
Blood ocean gushed out from the destroyed banner and the countless godly corpses became even more violent as they all stood up from the ocean.
What!?
The expression of Reverse Emperor clearly showed his disbelief! He hopped backwards, avoiding Zhong Yue and landing on the blood ocean before running away, This brat has become so strong in just a few days! I… I might not…. I might not be able to beat him!
Zhong Yue, on the other hand, reacted quickly and chased after the Reverse Emperor. In no time, he intercepted Reverse Emperor and shouted, "Senior martial sister, Brother Bai, follow me! Jin'er, cover our back!"
Though confused by Zhong Yue's request, Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai began to execute it regardless; they followed behind Zhong Yue closely while Qiu Jin'er, who was standing on at the front, waited for them to pass so that she could cover them.
"Reverse Emperor! Only the bravest among all will win the battle in a narrow path!"
The six-eye Star Toad appeared behind Zhong Yue and it let out a roar that trembled the blood ocean, halted and completed shattered the blood ocean that was about to turn back into the bloodied banner.
"Will you survive when we fight our way to the other end of this bridge?"
Zhong Yue moved swiftly towards his destination right away after he shouted at Reverse Emperor. With the two sabers in his hands, Zhong Yue unleashed a barrage of attacks towards the front; with each step, he swung his saber once, and these attacks were all aimed towards the Reverse Emperor's head!
Meanwhile, the Reverse Emperor struggled to fend off the attack of Zhong Yue with his blood axe. At the same time, another head grew out from his back, and four arms emerged from his armpits. At the back of him were countless Qi Practitioners charging towards the end of the bridge. These Qi Practitioners were fighting each other as well; they summoned and activated various divine weapons and they were all engaged in a dog fight.
The bridge was a narrow bridge, a single bridge that led towards the other end and even though it had four paths on it, only four Qi Practitioners could step onto the bridge. Reverse Emperor backed off suddenly, and he immediately charged towards the Qi Practitioners. But he too, was targeted by all of them.
And this was what Zhong Yue meant; there was no escape when fighting on a narrow path; one will either triumph over the body of his foe and let his foe triumph over his body!
Now, with Zhong Yue forced very close to him and the other Qi Practitioners attacking him, the pressure Reverse Emperor was facing could be imagined!
There were many experts among the Qi Practitioners on the bridge. They were all Qi Practitioners with power exceeding demigods, and their strengths were not weaker than Zhong Yue's and the others'. Thus, the pressure Reverse Emperor faced was tremendous.
In just a short time, Reverse Emperor began suffering heavy injuries, and he suddenly shouted, "You want me dead? Then you will have to go through the hard way!"
Reverse Emperor suddenly evaded a Qi Practitioner, swapped place with him and pushed this Qi Practitioner to the space between Zhong Yue and himself.
The Qi Practitioner was caught off guard and when he realized what happened, the attack of Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor had already gotten dangerously close to his skull! However, this Qi Practitioner was not someone to be messed with; he fended off the attack of Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor and in a blink of an eye, the head of the Qi Practitioner fell onto the ground as the saber and axe beheaded him.
Reverse Emperor laughed happily, grabbed the body, hurled it into his blood ocean and in an instant, his injuries healed and the blood ocean turned back into the bloodied banner.
This Qi Practitioner that was killed by both Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor was so strong that he was almost equally strong than the duo but when he was attacked by the duo, he was killed on the spot.
Though almost as strong as the duo, the slightest differences in his power and their's had cost him his life.
As rivals, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor understood each other deeply; before killing that Qi Practitioner, they teamed up without saying a word and caught that Qi Practitioner off guard.
Suddenly, a clear noise sounded out, stunning both Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor and they quickly took out their token. Upon taking a look at their toten, Reverse Emperor cursed silently while Zhong Yue became very happy for a star appeared on his own token.
