Swoosh!
The halberd, throwing off a gold sparkle, pounced furiously and quickly.
Chu Xun drove his fist at the incoming halberd. A huge explosion erupted just as his fists collided with the sentient Sacred Relic, blasting it away while another wave of golden light from the rock caught him, causing his blood to boil while nearly sustaining heavy internal injuries.
"Kill him, damn it! Let it kill him!" Zang Fengling watched from afar, while deep down inside, he was cursing vehemently.
The golden halberd careened off before it swiveled back and dove at Chu Xun again like a shaft of gold that tore through the air, screaming shrilly as it came.
Driving a frantic blow to dispel another incoming wave of golden light, Chu Xun spun back to face the magical halberd and delivered a three-blow barrage at it, the sheer force of his punches sending chips of golden sparkles spraying everywhere.
With its glow diminishing,
The contest for prized magical treasures and herbs had just turned into a race up the rock.Even at mid-hill, the invisible pressure weighing on his shoulders made every one step too ineffably difficult that he could barely utter a word.Not far below, Zang Fengling and Pan Chengfeng were busy with their own struggles as well. While Chu Xun needed to contend with the gigantic python hot at his heels, they had a huge tiger eager to catch up to them.The climb might be just as hard and strenuous for other explorers, but they could well breathe easily without having ferocious beasts chasing from behind."Go for it, Liu!" Yan Wushuang cheered from below.Chu Xun could only manage a weak smile. With so many pairs of eyes watching him, he could not use any of his Hong Meng Immortal Qi, so the toil was turning understandably difficult."For Heavens' sakes, Snake, I only hope you'd stop and take a rest," he kindly
The entire rock began shuddering with stones rolling down its slopes.Everyone rushed down the rock and looked back.The rock's tremor only grew stronger and stronger as more cracks opened and grew everywhere."Let's go," said Chu Xun.Chu Xun and his companions retreated until they were at the edge of the space inside the golden dome.Rumble!The gigantic opened fan-shaped rock burst into pieces and what's left of it ultimately toppled down into a heap of large boulders and rocks.Boom!Chu Xun flung his arms and fired several bolts of energy that destroyed any rocks falling their way.Other explorers around followed suit, with some preferring to evade and dodge.Finally, the turmoil came to an end and the dust settled.Only rubbles of boulders remained where the opened fan-shaped rock once stood, save for the silvery magical tree still stan
Chu Xun charged ahead and flung his fist furiously.Zang Fengling howled with excruciating pain, and two punches from Chu Xun was enough to shatter his rib cage."Thanks so much, Master Sexual Dysfunctional!"After that, ignoring his howl, Chu Xun easily slid off his Storage Ring."Give it back!" cried Zang Fengling."Why should I give back something I took with my own ability?" smirked Chu Xun.Caught between agonizing pain and seething frustration, Zang Fengling finally fainted.That enabled Chu Xun to return his focus on Pan Chengfeng.The latter was already wary. Seeing Chu Xun streaking at him, he handled his golden halberd that shone again brightly as he thrust it at his foe.Clang!Sparks erupted and sprayed into the air, and a punch from Chu Xun's fist blasted him off his feet, still clinging on to his halberd."How dare you offend th
Win, and you leave. Lose, and you'll die.Those words struck a chord in Nie Zicheng's mind that he shuddered with dread. Doubt flashed in his eyes, and his expression sank into one of somber and horror.For, that ominous tone, those intimidating words, reminded him of someone."I shall take my leave then, Friend!"With a crisp salute, Nie Zicheng turned and left.What?! Just like that?! Everyone was petrified with speechlessness. Then again, being able to repel an Eight-grade Human King by mere words only made Chu Xun more awesome and amazing."All right, the show's over, folks. Time to go home," said Chu Xun loudly.That came like the toll of a bell awakened everyone from their stupor, and the explorers all hurried home.There were winners and losers in this time's exploration. Some might not have gotten their hands on any magical fruit, but they found enough spiritual elixirs an
Yan Wushuang dawdled aimlessly on the street, with the mixed feelings of being glum and morose hanging over him like dark clouds. What the hell is Father thinking?! How could he ask this own son to follow Liu Tianhe without having met him before?!But what now?! Am I really to pander to him from now on?! Me, the proud future leader of the Yan Family?! How could I ever fall to such undignified behavior?! And what if he snubs me?!A deeply-troubled Yan Wushuang walked around and around in circles, mumbling quietly to himself."No, I still need to speak to him. It is because of him that I can't even go back home now," he muttered at last. No one escapes Yan Wushuang in Yanxue City....Meanwhile, a frantic Chu Xun walked all the way back to his lodging."I'm rather interested to see that even you will feel guilty too," teased the purple-haired woman."Can't help it," smiled Chu Xun weakly, "I'm t
The curtains finally fell on Chu Xun's and Yan Guilai's brief contest of strength with the former winning a prize of two Fire-Amber Bamboos."I leave Wushuang to you then," said Yan Guilai, still struggling with the loss of two immensely valuable. He realized that it was all Chu Xun's ruse by pretending to be enraged in a bid to extort something off him.The two spent a little more time talking until at last, Yan Guilai personally saw Chu Xun out the gates of the Yan Family residence where they parted reluctantly.But when he returned to the main hall and took in the extent of the damage incurred to the furnishing of the hall, his mood darkened nearly as black as a pot's bottom and his lips jerking uncontrollably.Chu Xun trotted back to his lodgings."So, how was it?" asked Yan Wushuang."Pretty good. Your father and I have sworn to be brothers too.""Ah?!" Yan Wushuang gasped with dropped ja
The collective strengths of three Eighth-grade Human Kings would have been so great and unstoppable a force that they could easily massacre and wipe out any small to medium organizations of warriors.Yet despite their formidable might, their plot of waylaying Chu Xun ended up with two of their number wounded heavily in just the blink of an eye.With their great powers, the assailant Human Kings too possessed keen senses that never stopped tingling ominously.That their operation of ambushing Chu Xun would most likely end up a failed mishap."What? Nevermind wounding you; I intend to slaughter you!" Chu Xun hissed with unveiled malice as his clothes fluttered in the wind.Whoosh!Chu Xun charged fiercely at Nie Zicheng, brandishing his golden halberd now giving off a proud brilliance of triumph.Nie Zicheng could feel his confidence crumbling like a falling wall. His right arm was useless, and
Curls of True Energy snaked all around the purple-haired woman's physique as Yan Wushuang's three-foot-long-bladed sword hummed gently.Swoosh!A long, white bolt of cloth shot at Chu Xun like a spear.Chu Xun evaded it only to be met by the cold, merciless glimmer of Yan Wushuang's sword tip.Bang!Chu Xun raised a hand and blasted it aside.Swoosh!Next came another two bolts of white cloth, glimmering as brightly as a flash of white light.With coils of purplish Immortal Qi imbuing his arm, Chu Xun seized the strips of white cloths and jerked hard, dragging the woman towards him.The woman planted a foot into the ground swiftly to steady herself and it turned into a tug of war with the long white bolts of cloth between them.Seeing his chance, Yan Wushuang quickly attacked with his sword."All right, Bratty Yan," grumbled Chu Xun, "You're
