Chapter 238 - Washing of Bloodstain

As soon as Zhong Yue returned to the East Barren, his position was given out immediately by the witnesses around. With Shi Buyi busy with his cultivation, the monster factions that were hostile to Zhong Yue began to act.

In an instant, the entire East Barren became lively as one after another, Qi Practitioners were deployed to intercept and kill Zhong Yue.

“Eastern Sea’s Long Yue, he is a dragon in the sea, but after he came to the land, he will become nothing more than just a bug!”

In Xian Kong Saint City, Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan sat in the inn and were both drinking happily while they looked at the other monsters that headed out of the city to kill Zhong Yue. Xi Qiao then smirked and said to a Qi Practitioner beside him, “Brother Wei Dong, how is Master Qian Shuqiu? Everything good?”

The monster Qi Practitioner appeared to be tall and slender, nodding as he replied, “My teacher is doing good, but he was furious when he heard about the matter regarding junior martial sister Qing He. I am here this time to take her back and meet this Long Yue.”

The matter of Qing He was causing quite a turbulence in the city, as rumors said that Qian Shuqiu married Qing He to Zhong Yue as a concubine. Then, there was also news saying that Qing He was not a mistress, but a head maidservant that had an even lower position than a concubine, which shocked everyone even more.

And these rumors had naturally reached the ears of Shu Qianqiu. Wei Dong was here under the order of Shu Qianqiu to deal with this matter. Wei Dong was on good terms with Xi Qiao, while Xi Qiao was very close with Tu Shishan. When the three met up, they naturally got along well, as they also had some unhappy encounters with Zhong Yue.

“The others have already acted and headed over to kill Long Yue. Are we still going to wait?” asked Wei Dong.

Xi Qiao laughed and replied, “These guys might not be able to kill Long Yue at all, as that guy is incredibly cunning and sly. Previously, he managed to escape five of us Atman Body level Qi Practitioners. This time, let the pawns head over first and even if they fail to kill Long Yue, they might be able to exhaust him to a certain degree. Then that is when we act, when he is weak, and we will kill him without effort! “

Xi Qiao then touched his fangs. He got angry as he thought of one of his two fangs being sliced off by Zhong Yue.

Tu Shishan had the same thought, and said, “Long Yue’s strength is only very average, but he is incredibly good at escaping. Unlike a dragon that is brave, ferocious and cunning, this guy is more like a loach, so slippery that our plans failed to catch him every time. But now, with the help of these pawns depleting his energy and stamina first, he will not be able to escape from our pursuit!”

Wei Dong laughed and said, “Is this little Awakening level Qi Practitioner so good?”

“Not really that strong, as any Atman Body level Qi Practitioners could kill him with ease, but the point is that we could not catch him.”

Xi Qiao stood up and said, “Alright, we should get moving! Don't worry, Brother Wei Dong, as there are many Qi practitioners that will send more updates about the position of Long Yue back to the city from time to time, and he will not be able to run away anymore!”

The three Atman Body level Qi Practitioners then proceeded to pay for their meals and left the city in pursuit of Zhong Yue.

---

After another four or five days, Xi Qiao and the others arrived at the banks of a huge river after receiving updates from a mysterious Qi Practitioner that Zhong Yue was nearby, and was going to cross the river.

The trio stood at the side of the river and stared at the other side of the river. To their surprise, there was already a terrific scene going on; the forest was ravaged by strong wind currents while rocks and huge trees were being evaporated by strong attacks!

Then, a gray eagle with a wingspan of a dozen paces ascended into the air and fought with a Qi Practitioner in an intense battle!

“It’s Ying Tianji!”

Xi Qiao looked carefully and lost his voice for a moment before he said, “An incredibly strong individual of the Ying Family! I can’t believe this guy actually went after Long Yue as well!”

The body of the celestial eagle of Ying Tianji was incredibly powerful, and when the five wheels emerged from the back of Ying Tianji he displayed his prowess as a strong Atman Body level Qi Practitioner!

The reason why the Atman Body level Qi Practitioners were stronger than those in the Awakening level was because Atman Body level Qi Practitioners could merge their Yuan Shen and body together, unlike Awakening level Practitioners who were still using them separately.

With their Yuan Shen and body merged, their power would be increased several times, which made them incredibly strong!

Xi Qiao and the other two was in awe when they looked at the battle. The gap in the power of Atman Body and Awakening level Qi Practitioners was incredibly huge, yet Long Yue was able to face an Atman Body level Qi Practitioner head on!

Other than that, each time Long Yue moved, he would create serpentine Jiao dragons. In an instant, the Jiao Dragons filled up the sky and charged everywhere ruthlessly while shifting formations, sometimes turning into a dragon wall, dragon bell, or even dragon city. All kinds of strong dragon techniques were used, forming a huge net that trapped Ying Tianji inside!

It was the【Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms】!

And Long Yue was the one gaining the upper hand, instead of Ying Tianji!

The situation of an Awakening level Qi Practitioner gaining the upper hand when he was supposed to be inferior to an Atman Body level Qi Practitioner was a scene Qi Xiao and the other two had never seen before, and they simply couldn't believe what they were seeing!

Other than that, Long Yue was beating Ying Tianji in close-quarter combat as well!

Suddenly, a white light flashed across the sky and after an angry roar, Ying Tianji’s twenty-foot long eagle body was hacked apart by Long Yue!

Organs and blood rained down from the skies as Ying Tianji died, just like that!

Xi Qiao, Tu Shishan and Wei Dong were extremely shocked and they looked at each other, all seeing fear in one another’s eyes.

“This guy is so strong! The 【Monster God Ming King Art】 iss strong, but it cannot be strong to this extent!”

Xi Qiao shivered and whispered, “He must have gained something back in the Eastern Sea.”

Wei Dong suddenly said, “I was wondering this for quite some time… Where did the pursuers ahead of us go?”

Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan shivered and suddenly, Long Yue, who was on the other side of the river looked at them.

“We have three people and he is only one!” shouted Tu Shishan as he tried to motivate himself.

Xi Qiao nodded quickly and asked Wei Dong, “Brother Wei Dong, you are stronger than me and unlike the two of us who have no systematic heritage, you must have some ways to kill him, right?”

Wei Dong felt skeptical and he said, “It depends… He has a Fang Blade made from the god’s bone, after all….”

Long Yue did not cross the river straight, but stood at the river bank. When he raised his hand, the river evaporated and turned into a cloud that floated over his head.

Then, his Yuan Shen flew atop the cloud. As it rotated its eyes, the river continued to evaporate and the cloud got larger, with lightning and thunder starting to form around it before it started to rain.

The six-eyed Yuan Shen of Long Yue was like a god that controlled the weather, standing high up in the cloud while Long Yue stood on the water surface in the rain.

The trio stared at Long Yue. They watched him washing off the bloodstains on himself and the Fang Blade with the rain.

Him washing his blade in the river and controlling the weather gave off an amazing feeling, ruthless and wild at the same time.

---

Zhong Yue dwelled on the feeling he was emitting each time he brushed off the bloodstains, his actions felt like there were some kind of hidden power in them.

The rain water then turned into countless tiny Jiao Dragons that slid down his forehead, then to his palms, over his Fang Blade, and finally, back into the river.

At that moment, thousands and thousands of tiny Jiao Dragons could be seen swimming around happily, leaping out of the water and diving back in.

After a few moments, when he washed off all the bloodstains, the cloud in the sky dispersed and the twenty-foot long six-eyed Yuan Shen looked down..

A horrifying scene formed!

As the last raindrop dropped onto the ground, Zhong Yue’s Yuan shen flew back into his body. The next thing that could be seen was Zhong Yue’s body suddenly enlarged. His muscles became even larger, stronger, and veins could be seen popping out everywhere. In an instant, he turned into a twenty-foot tall burly celestial being standing on the river!

“Atman Body!”

Wei Dong’s face changed and he shouted, “Not good! He has entered the level of Atman Body and I will be no match for him! Retreat at once!”

Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan’s hearts thumped wildly. Suddenly, the body of Zhong Yue trembled and quickly reverted to his original size. His basics were not strong enough to allow him to forcefully advance into the level of Atman Body. He quickly fell back into the Awakening level.

Along with Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan, Wei Dong stopped retreating. They all felt relieved, because as long as Long Yue had yet to enter the Atman Body level, he would be no match for the three of them!

Zhong Yue sighed and sheathed his Fang Blade. Then, he walked towards the trio and said softly, “My base among the monsters is still weak and I could not convince people with reasoning and other more civilized ways. My only way to convince people is to force them to listen to me with my

brute power. I will not kill the three of you today, as I need someone to be my witness.”

Xi Qiao stared at Zhong Yue angrily, saying, “Witness what?”

With the Fang Blade behind him, Zhong Yue walked to the center of the river and said, “Witness how I slaughter each and every single pursuer on my way back to Xian Kong Saint city.”

The trio’s hearts thumped quickly as they heard Long Yue’s answer.

“Respect is earned, not given. In order for one to be respected, he must first be feared by everyone. No one will respect a beggar, and those who gained respect from the others are only the strong and the powerful!”

Zhong Yue continued walking towards the trio. He showed no intention of switching paths to avoid them as he said, “I want the East Barren to fear me, but if I kill all my pursuers, then no one will know what happened today and my target will not be achieved. That’s why, I am letting the three of you stay alive and spread news about what happened! You will follow me as I go, and be the witnesses of the downfall of these countless Atman Body level Qi Practitioners at my hands!”
