785 Silver Cocoon Change (1/2)

”Treat that battle as one that ended without a winner nor a loser!”

”Oh?”

Shi Wuji listened quietly as if he wanted to know more.

That day he had seen everything from start to finish. Zong Shou stood on the Heaven Reaching Platform which was forcefully smashed by Shiyue.

But, in the end, it was his third uncle who fled.

He asked about the battle because he wanted to know whether Zong Shou or Shiyue was stronger and how strong they really were?

The Monster King was invincible in the Cloud World, but Shiyue was able to go up against him.

Just witnessing the battle from the side made his blood boil.

So, there were actually such interesting things in the Cloud World.

Thus, he was even more interested in the results of the battle.

Shiyue was firm at the start, but he sighed, ”Although I say that, if I look at it carefully, I would have to say that I lost to him by just a little!”

Shi Wuji thought to himself that it was as he expected and he found it amusing. Who knew that Shiyue had such a side to him and cared about his own pride so much.

Shiyue's thoughts were really sharp. Although Shi Wuji didn't show any expression, he still picked it up. He instantly smiled and looked over, ”It isn't that I care about my pride, but it is true! Although I used only three fists, Zong Shou already saw through the weakness in my fist. If we continued to fight, the outcome would be uncertain!”

Shi Wuji instantly felt awkward but he didn't believe it. Didn't Shiyue search for the Blood Sword Monster Lord to verify his fist. Since the outcome wasn't decided, then why did he leave in such a hurry?

Then, Shiyue said impassively, ”The reason why I retreated is because that person used just two swords to peek into my foundations. The Power and Strength were just exterior, there was actually something else.”

When he heard this, Shi Wuji instantly exclaimed and looked at Shiyue.

He thought to himself, weren't the Power and Strength words his true foundations?

Then, he understood. People like him often had things that other people didn't know about.

He had other reasons for not telling him the whole truth.

He was just a bastard nephew who grew up outside and was extremely distant. He didn't have to tell him everything.

”How unfortunate! Zong Shou should have been the best opponent to verify my Emperor God Fist. However, if we continued, all my foundations would have been revealed to him and I would have no secrets at all!”

He sighed in pity and his face was filled with regret, ”Actually, the both of us didn't go all out, so we can't really say who won or lost. The reason why I said I lost to him a little was because, after those three swords, I still know nothing about his Dao. Do you understand now?”

Seeing Shi Wuji nod his head like he understood, Shiyue smiled, ”If we went all out, I most probably wouldn't have lost. However, the future is long. My martial path might not be good now, but I have already found my foundations. To turn something from simple to complicated is much simpler. The Monster Lord is learning something extremely complicated, how is it easy to go from that to something simple? My fight with this Monster Lord has just begun...”

When he said this, Shi Wuji was totally confused and didn't know what was going on. Shiyue was halfway through when he stopped. He suddenly looked up and relaxed.

”It finally ended!”

At this moment, the raging storm finally showed signs of stopping. The five indiscernible auras finally calmed down once more.

The outer region World River could finally be crossed!

Shiyue's lips curled. He knew that the battle with Zong Shou had finally come to an end.

Who knew what the outcome was?

However, no matter what had happened, this Cloud World probably couldn't fit the Blood Sword Monster Lord anymore...

With a thought, Shiyue carried Shi Wuji up. He forcefully stepped and broke the space while the area outside the world was still shaking.
