203 Zhong Ya Is Here! (2/2)
Well, a second later, the voices echoing around her caused Chen Dandan to collapse on the ground once again.
”Chen Dandan called out to the voice and called it, 'Teacher?'”
”Is that the other Golden Essence adept of the Xuanyin Sect, their strongest elder, Zhong Ya?”
”Well, this youth managed to kill the Xuanyin Sect's Distinguished Elder, Golden Essence adept Qi Ming... Even if Zhong Ya were stronger than Qi Ming, how much stronger could he possibly be?”
”He is definitely not this youth's match! This youth's strength, although not yet surpassing that of a Dharma adept, is definitely enough to crush any adept that is below the Dharma stage...”
...
No one present here, including the people of the four big sects of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, as well as the lucky Connate adepts of the Xuanyin Sect who had survived, believed that the Golden Essence adept elder, Zhong Ya, was strong enough to defeat Zhou Donghuang.
Chen Dandan began to have her doubts as well.
Hua!
Hualala!
In the calm surroundings of the Feast of Ziyun, a grey shadow suddenly appeared. This figure's voice was especially bright, and his robes swayed with the wind, making rattling noises.
The owner of this grey shadow was an old man dressed in long grey robes.
Zhou Donghuang identified this figure in an instant.
This was the Golden Essence adept that had appeared in the Valley of the Medicine Masters three years ago, the Xuanyin Sect's elder, Zhong Ya.
”Hm?”
Once he realized that Zhong Ya looked much more youthful than he had three years ago, Zhou Donghuang was momentarily stunned before he regained his composure. His eyes flashed a few times.
”Young man, three years ago, I did not kill you simply because I was afraid that the deed would interfere with my crossing to the Dharma stage... I can't believe that three years later, you'd dare to appear here!”
Zhong Ya stared steely at Zhong Donghuang and spoke in a tone devoid of emotion. ”Since you're here, your life will be lost today, here and now.”
”Teacher!”
Just as Zhong Ya had finished his sentence, Chen Dandan shouted out in a panicky fashion. ”You'd better leave! You'd better leave!”
”He killed Elder Qi Ming, head elder and our strongest brothers! You should wait till you've crossed over into the Dharma stage before challenging this Zhou Donghuang and avenging their deaths!”
At this very moment, all Chen Dandan wanted was for her teacher to quickly flee and enter the Dharma stage before returning to seek out Zhou Donghuang for revenge.
With Zhou Donghuang's showcase of ability earlier on, unless Zhong Ya managed to enter the Dharma stage, he would definitely be no match for Zhou Donghuang!
Ah!
Upon hearing Chen Dandan's words, Zhong Ya's face changed. He glanced meaningfully to the side and saw that there were tens of corpses on the stage of the Feast of Ziyun, which included all his sect's people apart from his personal disciple Chen Dandan, who had collapsed on the floor.
These corpses were either rid of their brains or were separated from them.
Among the corpses, there was the sect's main disciple, the Xuanyin Sect's head elder, Bai Shitang, as well as his other disciples, the sect's Distinguished Elder Qi Ming as well as Liu Yi.
”Qi... Qi Ming?”
Towards the death of Bai Shitang and Liu Yi, Zhong Ya simply felt rage. However, the death of Qi Ming was something unfathomable to Zhong Ya. After all, Qi Ming was also a Golden Essence warrior.
Yet, he had died here?
”You...”
When Zhong Ya looked up once again at Zhou Donghuang, who was floating in the air a short distance away from him, his eyes were full of confusion and disbelief. ”As a mere late Primal Core adept, you managed to kill a Golden Essence adept?”
Zhou Donghuang stared back at Zhong Ya calmly and said, ”Three years ago, I warned you about this... Zhong Ya, as you brought away Chen Dandan against my wishes, you brought a grudge with me upon your entire sect... Today, I, Zhou Donghuang, am here to put an end to this entire grudge.”
Once Zhou Donghuang had spoken these words, everyone who was present noticed that the youth dressed in white had appeared here and massacred the people of the Xuanyin Sect because of Chen Dandan.
She was the root of all their troubles!
At this moment, several people turned to glance at Chen Dandan and collectively had the thought of her being a true troublemaker...
”Hahaha... Hahahahahaha...”
Zhong Ya laughed without any hint of mockery in his tone, and his laughter grew with time. Afterwards, he stopped suddenly as everyone looked on with shock.
After laughing, Zhong Ya shot a glance that was as cold as steel at Zhou Donghuang. ”Young man, if you had taken action three days ago, you probably could have done as you pleased and killed me, as well as destroyed the entire the Xuanyin Sect.
”Instead, you chose to take action only today. Your goals are fated to stay as mere dreams forever!”
Almost immediately after Zhong Ya had spoken, a strong scent unfurled from his body, and this was followed by a gust of black power that flew out from within.
Within an instant, a shadow about one-foot tall rose from Zhong Ya's body. It was about the size of a small hill and the shape of a black raven, standing upright.
Surrounding this one-foot tall shadow of a black raven, there was a small trail of black halo that wrapped around him like flowing water, giving off a strong yet unique scent.
Although Zhong Ya was not near the attendees of the Feast of Ziyun, the onlookers who were weaker were still overwhelmed with this scent. Some flushed red while others even began to bleed internally.
”Is this... Dharma!?”
Many immediately averted their eyes.
