Chapter 53
Chapter 53 Perish Together
The Qi Practitioner in mid-air yelled out in shock, he was on the verge of intervening.
When Zhong Yue was struck by the two thousand Water Lotus Sword Qi, he was prepared to intervene and extricate Zhong Yue from his impending death, now when Zhong Yue’s Dragon Scale Sword reached to ‘Shui Qingyan’’s forehead, he was also the verge of intervening and save ‘Shui Qingyan’.
The two youngsters switched roles too quickly, even as a Qi Practitioner it was hard for him to catch up to them, his heart thumped with great speed.
“Zhong Shan Clan’s soul weapon is too quick, I can’t make it in time.” Cold sweat rushed out of the Qi Practitioner’s head.
Just right when the Dragon Scale Sword was about to pierce through her head, the Sword Cocoon on her hair moved, the sword silk bristled up and vertically sliced right down.
Ding.
The tip of the Dragon Scale Sword was slashed shorter by an inch, the sword silk then intertwined itself onto the Dragon Scale Sword.
Another exclamation came from the Qi Practitioner, he was ready to save Zhong Yue as Zhong Yue had his soul in the soul weapon, if the Dragon Scale Sword was destroyed, his soul would also disperse.
But before the Qi Practitioner was able to do anything, Zhong Yue shook his arms and the Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard flew up, the Dragon Scale Sword immediately turned into a flashing ray – Shua – it entered the sword scabbard before the sword silk was able to destroy it.
“Such a quick response?” The Qi Practitioner was shocked, his heart almost fell out from his mouth.
The Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard closed, the sword silk followed behind Dragon Scale Sword in a straight line like a thread towards Zhong Yue, intending to slice Zhong Yue in half!
Zhong Yue’s body suddenly descended down to the ground, while ‘Shui Qingyan’ followed him with the sword silk flashes in the air towards Zhong Yue.
The two landed one after another, it was at this time where the high building collapsed wholly.
‘Shui Qingyan’ pressed forward, she did not hold the sword silk in her hands, the sword silk was flying and enveloping around her body like a tiny flash of lightning, no one could possibly catch such a thin and tiny sword silk. She controlled the sword silk with her soul and psyche, she could allow the sword silk to reach to anywhere and turn into any form.
Zhong Yue had long realized that the Sword Qi is stronger when they are small and ever-changing rather than the bigger sizes ones. Therefore, the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi he cultivated was aimed to be small in size and a form that could change as he desired, hence, he knew the power of the sword silk.
The smaller, the more danger it imposes, but at the same time, the requirement for the user’s psyche would be higher!
The Sword Cocoon was so thin like silk, the psyche requirement to control it would be correspondingly high, but his opponent was the Tian Myriad Mother that was possessing Shui Qingyan’s body; her psych prowess was definitely of the god-devil level!
When faced with such an incredibly strong sword silk, Zhong Yue could only maintain a distance and keep on bursting his psyche into lightning Sword Qi and Jiao Dragons pouncing towards ‘Shui Qingyan’ while waiting for the chance to land the killing blow.
At the same time, he was like a brutal god, standing on two dragons and his whole body winded with Jiao Dragons, he unleashed his body strength with all his might.
Peng——
A human-shaped hole was made on the thick wall of a temple when Zhong Yue was shoved onto it, he receded back into the temple and the lightning Sword Qi rushed out like tiny Jiao Dragons from the human-shaped hole towards ‘Shui Qingyan’!
Chui——
An insignificant sword ray flashed over, the wall of the temple was sliced into pieces and projected into the temple crashing onto the copper pillars, even the lightning Sword Qi in the air was all sliced off.
The sharpness of the Sword Cocoon sword silk was evident!
‘Shui Qingyan’ strode into the temple, the copper pillar was uprooted by Zhong Yue and he swung it around towards his formidable foe.
The sword silk twined around the copper pillar and before it could reach ‘Shui Qingyan’, the upper part of the copper pillar was sliced into rubble.
All of a sudden, the sword silk bristled up and pierced through the center of the copper pillar, a slight trickle of blood appeared on Zhong Yue’s forehead but before the sword silk could pierce through his skull, he leaped backward and avoided his death. His psyche wreathed around a hundred feet tall giant statue and hurled it towards ‘Shui Qingyan’.
“Water Dragon Twist!”
The cerulean water dragons appeared and crushed the statue into pieces.
‘Shui Qingyan’ walked forwards and the two youngsters fought in the temple, sword rays flashed around and suddenly, a loud cracking sound could be heard as the temple started to crumble, two figures could be seen dashing out from the dust and stones into another building while slashing and fighting each other.
Krong ——
Came a loud noise and not long after, the building collapsed following the footsteps of the temple.
Finally, the Qi Practitioner in the air could not maintain his composure anymore, he flew into the castle and lowered his sights, he could see that the temples and buildings were collapsing one after another as the landscape was filled with detritus that seemed as if there were two giant monsters fighting in the castle – the scene that entered into his eyes was horrific.
“They are still fighting, there is no winner yet?”
The Qi Practitioner’s face was twisted, the scenes before his eyes would leave an indelible impression on his heart as he was frozen in shock and fright, but as the buildings obstructed his sights, he did not have a direct view of the fight, he mumbled, “One of them might just die anytime, just that who would it be … these two freaks!”
Suddenly, his face changed drastically, not far away from the battlefield, there were two upper house core disciples dueling each other, Yu Zhenlong of the You Yu Clan and Nan Zhen of the Nan Lu Clan, they both possessed strong prowess.
The two fought around a tall building, their psyches materialized respectively into the fish-dragon and mountains.
“Get out of the way!”
The Qi Practitioner waved his hands and shouted out, “Quick, get out of the way!”
Yu Zhenlong and Nan Zhen were both immersed in the duel but were startled when they heard the call. They asked in puzzlement, “What is going on?”
Just when the duo was wondering what was going on, the ground beneath them started quaking as if there were two monster beasts ramming on the building causing the building to quiver vigorously. They quickly looked over and saw Sword Qi-like dragons and pythons flogging and crushing the bottom floors of the building!
At the same time, an insignificant sword ray flashed over, the over two hundreds feet sword ray slashed in great speed, in but a second, the building of radius two hundred feet was sliced into pieces!
While Yu Zhenlong and Nan Zhen were both in that deadly range of two hundred feets radius.
Their scalps tingled as the sword rays flashed in their eyes, they inexplicably felt the guillotine of death threatening to befall them.
Right at that moment, a force of strong power weaved them and pulled them up into the sky and an umbrella-like soul weapon opened up in front of them blocking the slash from the sword ray.
Cui cui cui – The umbrella was slashed into pieces.
In the air, a female Qi Practitioner grabbed on Yu Zhenlong and Nan Zhen, her face contorted in pain as she helplessly witnessed the destruction of her soul weapon. Fortunately, she knew the danger of the sword ray hence, she did not place her soul in her soul weapon or otherwise, her soul would perish along with the soul weapon.
“The Sword Cocoon of the Ten Malefic Weapons?”
The female Qi Practitioner exclaimed in shock, her face was suffused with disbelief, she yelled out involuntarily, “Who controlled the Sword Cocoon? Could it be one of the Shui Tu Clan? Who has such an ability to compete with the Sword Cocoon without dying?”
“He is the Zhongshan Clan disciple that offended both the Tian Feng Clan and Shui Tu Clan, I think his name is called as Zhong Yue, the one that controlled the Sword Cocoon and fought with him is Shui Qingyan from the Shui Tu Clan.”
The Qi Practitioner in charge of Zhong Yue flew over, he smiled wryly and said, “I have notified the elder, if the elder is not here yet I’m afraid I will be shocked to death by them. Ey, the elder is here!”
On the sea, the elder flew amidst the wind at great speed towards the castle on the sea.
Below the Qi Practitioners, Zhong Yue furrowed his brows, he could tell that the attacks were getting quicker and stronger, it was clear that she intended to kill him before the elder arrived as he might have known of her true identity!
“It’s the same for me, I will also kill you before the elder arrives!”
Zhong Yue’s eyes flashed, Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard behind him ascended into the air, Tak – the sword scabbard opened up.
Zhong Yue murmured, the sword flashed while the sword silk intertwined in the air like a web, ‘Shui Qingyan’’s intention was simple, she wanted to destroy the Dragon Scale Sword and Zhong Yue’s soul in it as soon as Dragon Scale Sword unsheath from the sword scabbard, she did not want to leave him with the slightest chance of survival.
But her attack missed, the Dragon Scale Sword did not unsheath from the sword scabbard.
Zhong Yue laughed out loud, he slammed heavily into his palm and the Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard thrust towards ‘Shui Qingyan’ through the web intertwined by the sword silk!
“Are you starting to fight desperately like a cornered wild beast?”
‘Shui Qingyan’ snorted, one end of the Sword Cocoon sword silk slashed towards Zhong Yue while the other end thrust right at the sword scabbard. Zhong Yue released a fierce roar, he visualized the lightning Xiang Dragon and an over hundred foot long Xiang Dragon appeared with its claws entrenched in the ground, with a sudden lift of its claws, the ground trembled as a humongous clump of earth was hurled towards the Sword Cocoon sword silk.
The sword rays flashed, the clump of earth hurled by Zhong Yue was pierced through the middle forming a big hole at the center. Zhong Yue seized the chance and leaped it, he then sprinted forward towards ‘Shui Qingyan’!
Right at this time, the Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard was slashed into half by the other end of the sword silk, the Dragon Scale Sword then thrust out from the broken sword scabbard right at ‘Shui Qingyan’!
“You are courting death!.”
‘Shui Qingyan’ smiled, she watched as Zhong Yue and the Dragon Scale Sword thrust towards her, the Sword Cocoon sword silk whirled towards the sword and in a trice, it crushed the Dragon Scale Sword into dust.
Then the Sword Cocoon sword silk turned around and shot towards Zhong Yue like a lightning bolt!
“Die!” “Die!”
‘Shui Qingyan’ and Zhong Yue both effused vicious screams and roars, the Sword Cocoon sword silk slashed towards Zhong Yue who was in mid-air with nowhere to run, the two ends of the sword silk surrounded him, one end piercing through the clump of earth and thrusting towards Zhong Yue while the other end slashed down onto Zhong Yue’s head, it penetrated his scalp and skull and it was on the verge of slashing into his brain!
At the same time, the broken Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard slid to the sides of ‘Shui Qingyan’, suddenly, a bright red Sword Qi shot out from the broken sword scabbard on the left, it was the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi, in the blink of an eye it sliced towards ‘Shui Qingyan’’s neck!
The Xiang Dragon Sword Qi was so sharp that when it sliced through the young lady’s neck as if it were made of tofu, the Sword Qi continued its severing path straight to her bones without obstruction!
While Zhong Yue could feel the sword silk piercing into his body from the back towards his heart.
Am I dying? Thankfully when I die, the Tian Myriad Mother will come along with me….
At the end of his life, Zhong Yue’s heart was calm and a little perplexed, Xin Huo is always worrying of my safety, but why didn’t he take control over my body and control us to escape away from death? Could it be that he is asleep again…?
