Chapter 703 - Weaknesses (1/2)
Fa Zhaozhen was feeling extremely uneasy and secretly cursed in his heart to the fact that Zhong Yue actually brought eighteen celestial emperors and demon emperors to see him!
He recognized these eighteen celestial emperors and demon emperors and has seen them before. They were the famous Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, each and everyone of them were battle-hardened experts that could easily hold the post of Realm Lords or even the Heavenly Kings in the Heaven Court!
Among them, Heavenly King Lu was the most powerful of all. He has cultivated to a stage just a hair's breadth away from the level of Creator, and was much more powerful than Fa Zhaozhen.
Even though the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud were now crippled and their strengths greatly damaged, their cultivation level was still there and was definitely able to defeat him like a group of adults picking on a child.
I just want to talk to him and tell him not to stir any more troubles and yet this brat brought the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud to threaten me. What a freak, he isn't willing to calm down and listen to a few words. And I still talked good about him in front of the Realm Monarch! Fa Zhaozhen whined in his heart.
Little did he know, he has wrongly accused of Zhong Yue. It wasn't that Zhong Yue wanted to use the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud to threaten him, but the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud heeds to King Geng's instructions and followed him closely all the time, not even Zhong Yue could stop them.
Zhong Yue was originally smiling and was planning to admit his mistake to Fa Zhaozhen. After all, he has brought many troubles to the Realm Lord and Zhong Yue too was feeling very apologetic. However, Zhong Yue didn't expect Fa Zhaozhen to change his expression so fast.
Heavenly King Lu said, "Realm Lord Fa, thank you for the covering King Zhong in front of the Realm Monarch. Realm Lord, you are also a good person, I admire you."
Fa Zhaozhen's face changed drastically and waved his hand quickly, "Please don't say so, don't say so! If you praise me as shameless, that I am scum, I will be very happy. But if you say that I am a good person, then you'd better off just kill me! You Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud are the most loyal men I've ever came across, and yet your ends are the worst I've ever known. I am unfaithful and unjust, despicable, shameless, and a thug but I live a luxurious life with countless beautiful wives. Do not put loyalty to the context as I am as it will only bring misfortunes upon me."
Zhong Yue was stunned, he never knew loyalty and good deeds could be put in such a way, as a sign of tragedy?
"Realm Lord, now King Geng is no longer here with us. The rest of the nine Qi Practitioners may not be able to compete with the Qi Practitioners from the Earth Realm, Celestial Realm, Myriad Realm, and Elemental Realm."
Zhong Yue thought and said, "I wonder if Realm Lord can give us some guidance?"
Fa Zhaozhen smiled, "How could I decline as your triumphs relates closely to my personal reputations? But why did you look for me when you have the best teachers just right beside you?"
Zhong Yue was surprised, he looked at the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud as he thought, They are already blind, can they still give us guidance? Can they still do better than Fa Zhaozhen?
Fa Zhaozhen conversed with him for another few moments and raised his cup of tea as a sign for them to leave.
Suddenly, he remembered that the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud couldn't see and he inkled Zhong Yue to bring them away. Then, Zhong Yue left with the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud. It was quite a strange and awkward scene to look at as a group of blind men followed behind him.
When they've returned to Zhong Yue's courtyard, he asked the emperors, "Brothers and sisters, is there anyway you can teach and guide me?"
Heavenly King Lu said, "Lights may cease to exist from our eyes, but our hearts are brighter than ever. The knowledge we have are still with us, and although we dare not to say we can teach King Zhong, but there will still be something we can advice you on. King Zhong, show your skills and let us see."
Doubts repleted his heart while he held the saber in his hand. All of a sudden, a burst of saber will filled the surrounding along with the dominating aura emanating from the blinding divine saber. The skill's power was overwhelming and its attack aimed for the Yuan Shen, it was the [God Slaying Three Styles]'s first style — [Sun Burst].
The eighteen elders, including the one-eyed Celestial Emperor Qian Shan couldn't see his saber rays but they could sense it with their psyche and their heart.
Just as Zhong Yue was on the verge of casting the second style, Heavenly King Lu abruptly stopped him, "Wait a moment."
Zhong Yue kept the divine saber, and the eighteen elders came together. They gathered each other's opinions and Demon Empress Bi Er tottered forward with a black lacquered walking cane, she said, "King Zhong, they have all told me a few flaws in your skill. Just cast it out at me and I will show you where the flaws are at."
Zhong Yue couldn't help but prompted her, "Demon Empress, I am here."
Turns out, the old lady wasn't able to locate him and was talking to the blank space in front of her.
Demon Empress Bi Er quickly turned around and coughed to cover up her awkward expression, she then said, "You may cast your skill now."
Zhong Yue unsheathed the Solar Divine Saber. A wave of majestic aura swept across the surrounding and the saber slashed down at her head with a great momentum.
However, Demon Empress Bi Er was exceptionally calm and casually, she gently lifted her cane up. A light din reverberated the courtyard, and the dominating saber rays dispersed in just a second. The cane had just lightly touched the edge of the Solar Divine Saber, and the divine saber splintered away into rays of light.
Zhong Yue was greatly shocked, the scattered rays was regathered into the Solar Divine Saber, and his heart thumped heavily. Demon Empress Bi Er's cane had little to none arcane energy and was barely able to even inflict any damage, however, it was able to dispel the [Sun Burst] effortlessly by just striking on one single totem pattern in it.
It was just a single totem pattern in the skill that the cane crushed, but it was exactly this single totem pattern that was crushed instilled immense chaos within the [Sun Burst], causing it to erupted itself from within and caused the Solar Divine Saber to break apart.
Demon Empress Bi Er didn't dispel the [Sun Burst] with her power, but she was the one that countered it.
Although her eyes could no longer see, her attack was just as precise as before. She who was blind sees clearer than those with the eyes!
"Cast it again." Demon Empress Bi Er said.
Zhong Yue once again cast out the [Sun Burst], and Demon Empress Bi Er again lifted her cane. This time, the cane didn't reach for the skill but waited for it to come and defend it.
Suddenly, the cane moved as the saber rays rained down. It gently waves like a conductor's baton in front of her while the saber rays flashed by her sides.
Zhong Yue's face turned solemn and he frowned. Demon Empress Bi Er first countered the [Sun Burst] by halting its flow and left it to self-erupt on its own. While this time, she has seen through the saber rays and only destroyed those that could harm her while leaving the rest flashing past.
He has only cast the [Sun Burst] once in front of them and yet, the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud found two weaknesses!
"Again." Demon Empress Bi Er said casually.
"There is still a third weakness?"
Zhong Yue was dumbfounded, he inhaled deeply and again cast the [Sun Burst].
