Chapter 385 - Mouth of a Crow
On the Martial God Stage, even though Jiao Qingtu, Xia Chusheng, and the others were very reluctant to acknowledge Zhong Yue and Long Yue, they still had to admit what Bai Canghai said was very true. Both of them shone brightly and possessed their very own charisma far beyond what anyone had.
What they feared most was when the both of them cooperated together; at that point, they would basically be unstoppable as shown in the earlier display where they easily overwhelmed three Heavenly Dharma level QI Practitioners!
The power they displayed was simply terrifying when they worked together.
Everyone looked at each other and thought, Thank god that they are from two different people from different factions… If the rumors were right, and Long Yue and Zhong Yue really were the same person, then that would be extremely horrifying.
Out of nowhere, Zhong Yue suddenly said, "If everyone trusts me, then please don\'t move."
The people on the platform were all stunned for a moment before Zhong Yue\'s hair suddenly grew rapidly. It soon covered the entire platform and slithered around the platform as every fiber of his hair was cloaked with a razor-sharp Qi that could even slice the air apart.
On the platform, some remained still when the hair moved past them while other clasped their soul weapons tightly in suspicion.
Suddenly, a strand of Zhong Yue\'s hair touched something within the void. He then shouted, "So this is where you are!"
He then unsheathed his sword and stabbed forward while a figure popped out from nowhere and flew up into the air. The figure was the Shan Shen Celestial Clan\'s Qi Practitioner that attempted to launch a sneak attack on Zhong Yue from the void!
As soon as he was discovered, he did not hesitate to run away, but Zhong Yue flew up at the same time as well. The two then collided in midair, and both exchanged a rapid flurry of attacks. But instead of using the Golden Peng Sword, Zhong Yue used the 【Great Boundless Sword Qi】 with expert proficiency. The Sword Qi appeared in the shapes of dragons, phoenixes, golden crows, bells, war drums, and various instruments as he deftly controlled them to surround the Shan Shen Celestial Race\'s Qi Practitioner.
After Zhong Yue had broken his soul weapon, the Shan Shen Celestial Race\'s Qi Practitioner had no choice but to fight Zhong Yue bare-handed. In no time, the Shan Shen Celestial Race\'s Qi Practitioner had lost the upper hand as the Shan Shen Celestial Race was good at attacking with the element of surprise, but they were inferior to others when it came to close-quarters combat.
Suddenly, the Shan Shen Qi Practitioner\'s right arm was severed and fell from the skies while he shrieked and turned into a black mist that seemed to quickly disperse in the air.
“You think you can escape just like that?”
Zhong Yue swung his black hair, which pierced through the Shan Shen Celestial Race\'s Qi Practitioner body. He then dragged the Shan Shen Celestial Race\'s Qi Practitioner out from the void he hid in. Everything happened in just the blink of an eye, and when Zhong Yue dragged his opponent out, everyone watching was overcome with shock!
Previously, when Zhong Yue and Long Yue worked together against Kui Zhengshu and the others, their strategy was to eliminate them one by one before they could coordinate an organized offensive. Besides, with the Fang Blade and Golden Peng Sword, Long Yue and Zhong Yue also had the advantage of the godly weapons. Hence, their individual strengths weren\'t able to properly show themselves.
But now, by just himself, Zhong Yue had defeated the Shan Shen Celestial Race\'s magnate Qi Practitioner! Zhong Yue even managed to trap the magnate Qi Practitioner with his hair and attempted to kill him right then and there!
Just what kind of power did possess to be able to kill a Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioner when he was still at the Inner Core level?
On the Martial God Stage, Xia Chusheng and Xia Shengyan\'s expression slightly faltered as Zhong Yue\'s technique of trapping his foes with his hair was unique to the Xia Clan. Despite this, this technique was much stronger in Zhong Yue\'s hands than it was in theirs!
Not only that, but Long Yue also seemed to use a similar technique; it was clear that he had cultivated his body to an extreme level as well.
The two of them both used their hair as their soul weapons, but their techniques were different; Long Yue turned his red hair into fiery red Jiao Dragons and used them to form various powerful attacks. While on the other hand, Zhong Yue used his hair to perform the 【Great Boundless Sword Qi】 so that he could unleash a terrifying Sword Qi that not even Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioner could defend against!
Just when a miniature sun appeared in Zhong Yue\'s hand as he was about to deal the finishing blow, a Martial Heavenly Master in the Fiery Saint Palace raised his hands and sliced apart Zhong Yue\'s hair.
"Stop! There will be no fighting in Fiery Capital!"
He then walked out of the palace and looked at Zhong Yue before saying, "Zhong Yue, you attacked someone in the capital, are you trying to make an enemy of us?"
"Are you blind? Did you not see that he attacked Hallmaster Zhong first!" The Swords Gate disciples refuted angrily.
At this time, the others also felt that something was not quite right; any form of conflict was prohibited in Fiery Capital, but it was obvious that the Zhong Li Celestial Race had tacitly allowed Zhong Yue to be attacked.
"Zhong Yue is too famous now, and the Zhong Li Celestial Race views him as a threat as well. It\'s only natural that they want to kill him as well," someone remarked.
The Martial Heavenly Master then ascended into the skies and looked at Zhong Yue from afar. He then let out a thunderous shout that stopped the uproar among the bystanders, "Our rules state that any form of fighting is only allowed on the Martial God Stage and not out of the stage. Whoever fights outside of the stage will be at fault, and you were out of the stage just now!"
Zhong Yue retracted his hair to its normal state, even retrieving the hair that was previously severed, "So you mean to tell me that I should just stand still when I was attacked just now?"
When the Martial Heavenly Master wanted to say something, the Xia Clan\'s clan master suddenly said, "Zhong Jin, come back. This is the first time Zhong Yue went against the rules. It is fine if we let him go this time."
Zhong Jin then bowed and said, “Understood.”
“There shall be no next time, Zhong Yue!” shouted Zhong Jin again.
"What if someone tries to kill me again?" replied Zhong Yue as he struggled to keep his calm.
"Who dares to attack you in the territory of my Zhong Li Celestial Race! Be obedient, and we will definitely ensure your safety!" replied Zhong Jin dismissively as he walked away.
Zhong Yue then looked around, and his gaze swept across the others before finally landing on Long Yue. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Long."
Long Yue however, quickly moved aside and said, "I did not try to save you! I fear that I will not be able to find a decent opponent anymore after you die! I, Long Yue, am the strongest of the so-called \'Twin Yues.\' How can I prove this if you die?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue laughed and said, "Alright! You are indeed very interesting! Fine, I will not go easy on you when we fight later on even after you saved me! I, however, can spare your life if I win."
“No need for that! If you go easy on me, you will die for sure!”
Zhong Yue then laughed and said, "Brother Long, let me repeat this, perhaps we could both be friends…"
"That depends on my mood," replied Long Yue calmly.
The two then stared at each other again, the electric atmosphere between the two of them greatly shook everyone\'s hearts.
Bai Canghai from the other side then praised echoed what was already on everyone\'s mind, "The two of them are indeed very interesting!"
Along with her people, Chi Xue, who was holding an oily plate filled with grilled shrimps, laughed at Bai Canghai\'s obvious statement.
When Qiu Jin\'er saw Bai Canghai, she felt happy and quickly waved her hand at him, "Senior martial brother Bai, you are here again? If we are about to fight again, you must definitely help my senior martial brother!"
Chi Xue maintained her smile, and she quickly walked towards them before asking curiously, "What kind of capabilities does this Senior Martial Brother Bai possess that allows your senior martial brother win?"
Qiu Jin\'er looked at her and quietly praised Chi Xue\'s beauty in her heart before patiently explaining, "Back in the Lesser Void World, when Mister Xia and the others challenged my senior martial brother, Senior Martial Brother Bai commented on each of the challengers. Each time he praised someone, my senior martial brother would go on to defeat that person. In the end, everyone praised was soon defeated by my senior martial brother. Thus, I believe that Senior Martial Brother Bai\'s commentary was what helped my senior martial brother to win."
"What kind of power is this?" exclaimed Chi Xue as she looked at Bai Canghai with curious surprise.
Bai Canghai\'s face turned dark, and he coughed non-stop out of embarrassment. After that incident, he was crowned as a person with the mouth of a crow and was scolded by the elders of his clan for embarrassing himself and his clan.
Then, Qiu Jin\'er stared at the oily plate Chi Xue\'s hands and asked, "Senior martial sister, is this delicious?"
“It is very nice!”
Chi Xue then handed the plate to her and invited, "Shall we…?"
It wasn\'t long before the two young ladies were joyfully eating together and discussing the delicacies of the Fiery Capital; it was a scene that made Zhong Yue speechless as he thought, Senior martial sister really can\'t resist food eh?
Note:
Mouth of a crow = aka, Jinx. Each time the person says something, something bad will happen for sure.
