Wielding the Master Drum, Azure Dragon kept a close and wary eye on Presbyter Cui while protecting his companions War Tiger and Jade Rabbit.
He knew that he and his companions would fall into enemy hands if he could not hold on until Chu Xun arrived and that would cause him a great disadvantage.
With eyes as keen as a hawk's, he maintained his composure. As equals, he saw how the Master Drum had exhausted War Tiger easily and he needed to make every attack count.
Swoosh!
Presbyter Cui charged as quick as a lightning, firing another bolt of Internal Breath.
Bong!
Azure Dragon pounded the Master Drum and the air quivered with another pulse of sonic wave.
Boom!
The sonic wave obliterated Presbyter Cui's attack easily, causing a deafening explosion that made everyone's ears rang.
A furious and hateful Presbyter Cui backtracked quickly aside before he rebounded for another
Up on the crest of a mountain peak, Chu Xun stood beside Jing Hong."She doesn't seem to like me," observed Jing Hong from afar, watching Jiu You who was sitting in front of Hua Qingwu's ice casket, talking to her.That made Chu Xun felt awkward. He knew what Jiu You was trying to do – to keep a close watch on him on behalf of Hua Qingwu.Owing to her intimacy with Hua Qingwu, Jiu You felt it her responsibility to keep all other women away from Chu Xun, especially one with such beauty as Jing Hong."Maybe you just need some time," said Chu Xun, desperately hoping that this reasoning might sound more acceptable.Jing Hong gave Chu Xun a piercing look with her bright eyes that seemed to look through him."She's watching you for Little Wu's sake."That remark made Chu Xun jumped. He did not expect Jing Hong to be so acutely observant."They used to spend some time together. That's wh
Having reached her peak late in the Foundation Stage, Jing Hong was powerful in her own right, even though she could have easily ascended into the Golden Core Stage if she so chose.She had been too quick in her training that her fundamentals needed more work. Hence Emperor Ao's decision to prevent her from ascending so that she could focus on the basics while amassing more experience."ROAR!"The Zombie let loose a thunderous howl with anger, churning out more dark fumes from all over it as everyone could practically feel its rage and malice. It rose up, fully bringing itself up to its three-meter-tall stature; clearly, Jing Hong's attack failed to mortally harm it.Swoosh! Swoosh!Bolts of white cloth zipped from hither to thither like what flashes of lightning bolts, streaking through the darkness with shrill whistling as they shot straight at the Zombie.The monster lifted its two-meter long arm and sw
Flustered, the young man did not know what to do.And Jing Hong looked relatively cold and aloof."I... Erm..." the young man stuttered nervously. For the first time since becoming a Sixth-grade Human King, he felt as powerless and timid as a mouse.But she was just so beautiful, so divine; that even a proud son of the Sanctuary could not help feeling himself depraved and vulgar."I'd suggest you hold your tongue," said Jing Hong suddenly.She had not been listening to what Yan Wushuang had been talking to the young man about, but she could almost guess that it must be something against Chu Xun.The sudden and brusque remark bludgeoned into pieces what confidence the young man had, leaving him defeated and yet dissatisfied. After all, he had always enjoyed the pride of being a handsome and talented young prodigy.Meanwhile, Feng Zijian managed to escape Yan Wushuang's clutches and he quickly r
Yan Fandie was so enraged that he had Yue Jingchou apologize to Chu Xun and Yan Wushuang on his knees.But Chu Xun hardly looked any more assuaged."YOU WORTHLESS WRETCH! OF ALL PEOPLE YOU COULD'VE OFFEND! YOUR UNCLE?!" So was Yue Fandie's anger – hardly subsided not one bit – as he jabbed his finger at Yue Jingchou and said, "And, how dare you strike Master Yan?!""Easy, Brother," said Chu Xun, "Dealing with Yan Wushuang was my idea.""Heavens, Brother, quit speaking on behalf of this worthless whelp." Yue Fandie glowered at his youngest son. "I sentence you to one hundred strokes of lashes and an indefinite stay in the dungeons to reflect on what you did! You're not to come out without my say-so and GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"The "one hundred strokes of lashes" filled the faces of Yue Hongbo and his brothers with horror. Yue Jingchou would most undoubtedly be flogged raw by the end of it – if he survived it.
It was totally dark in the deep cave, which was full of surging foul aura.Chu Xun now was with the Body of Soul. He performed the Soul-calming technique and formed a piece of armor with his divine sense to protect himself.Compared to real flesh, the soul was very fragile.There was a pale white halo around Chu Xun, which made him look like a star in the dim cave.The cave seemed bottomless, and Chu Xun walked all the way down.When he reached 200 meters, he could faintly hear the clattering sounds of the chains.Chu Xun walked deeper and deeper, and now he was about a thousand meters underground, yet, he hadn't reached the bottom."How deep is this cave? Does it run through the earth?" Chu Xun wondered.Chu Xun felt that he was more than four or five kilometers deep in the cave, but he still hadn't reached the bottom.No... Chu Xun suddenly stopped.He
Chu Xun did not believe this strange-looking man.This man looked at him with a mocking expression.The two of them stared at each other silently."Oh," the strange-looking man suddenly said as he adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, "I forgot to tell you something.""Go ahead," Chu Xun replied."This is the place where the Subterranean Devils Clan is sealed. It's a wonderful space, or we may also call it a world.""I agree, as so many people have been made into lunatics here," Chu Xun said indifferently.The corner of the strange-looking man's mouth twitched. He knew that Chu Xun was mocking him, but he didn't care. He continued with a smile, "The wonderful part about this place is, when an hour passes here, a whole day passes outside."Chu Xun's eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, "Highly-curved Space."The strange-looking man looked at C
The vortex kept spinning, shining with white light.Chu Xun looked serious at the moment. Whether he could get out of here depended on whether he could find the Eye of Formation. Thus, he didn't dare to neglect anything.His divine senses enveloped the entire formation, but he failed to find the Eye of Formation.Chu Xun was puzzled. He started to ponder why he could not find it."I must have missed something."Chu Xun managed to calm down and began to search again.A moment later, a streak of purple light shot out from the vortex and flew toward the strange-looking man.The man was surprised, and he raised his hand to shatter the purple light.Chu Xun glared at the man angrily. It turned out that the Eye of Formation was on this man. "What an excellent formation skill!" Chu Xun thought to himself."Give it to me." Chu Xun reached out his hand."What do y
The strange-looking man glared at Chu Xun, and his aura became furious.Chu Xun stood far away. As the strange-looking man was tied up by a chain, Chu Xun was not afraid that he would hurt him."Kid, you're going to die right there!" the strange-looking man said angrily.Chu Xun gave him a disdainful smile and glanced at him coldly. Then, he sat down cross-legged, wanting to remove the Poison of Fire inside his body.The strange-looking man looked at Chu Xun quietly and pursed his lips in disdain. He could tell what Chu Xun was going to do."Kid, with your current cultivation, it's simply impossible for you to remove the Poison of Fire."Chu Xun ignored him and began to practice the Hong Meng Scripture. The Poison of Fire had already begun eroding his soul.Inside his body, those furious elements of fire were consuming and eroding his Spiritual Body, aiming at his heart and spreading toward hi
