Chapter 706
Among the four Supreme Elders, Elder Water who was sitting in the first seat started speaking in a low voice. "This is difficult to handle. The Dreadfiend Sea Naga are practically invincible in the ocean. Even with the palace's ability, it'll be almost impossible to kill it. Even if we succeed in killing it, the losses will be severe. We'll lose more than we gain. It's better to think of a way to drive it out."
Elder Fire frowned as he said, "Drive it out? How do we do that? Would that guy even listen to us? I'm afraid it'll just ruthlessly attack us. I think killing it isn't entirely impossible if we plan this properly. If our predecessors could do it, why can't we? Although it's extremely risky to kill the Dreadfiend Sea Naga, it would bring great benefit to the palace if we managed to do it."
The two Supreme Elders presented firm and radical opinions before Elder Earth spoke. "This Dreadfiend Sea Naga should be the offspring of the one that the predecessor killed years back. It probably has a grudge against us. As soon as it finds out that the palace is using the Darkness Attribute, it will be difficult to drive it out. At that time, it won't be us doing the killing. Instead, we'll be the ones getting annihilated. So we have to be extremely cautious about this."
Zhou Weiqing chose to interrupt at this point. "Why can't we just pull back our operations on the sea temporarily? Besides, the Dreadfiend Sea Naga won't decide to come ashore that easily. If it does that, its ability will be greatly weakened."
Everyone present clearly did not expect for Zhou Weiqing, who was attending the meeting for the first time, to open his mouth randomly. Everyone stared at him as if he was an idiot.
Eventually, Meng Xing came to Zhou Weiqing's rescue. "Honorary Master Zhou, the situation isn't as simple as you think. Although our Mysterious Heavenly Mainland is vast, land suitable for planting is scarce. Most of the land consists of mountains, hills, and rocks. Throughout the years, we've been getting food and riches from the ocean to maintain the daily lives of the civilians. For quite some time, riches in the coastal waters have been unable to meet mainland's needs. Therefore, we have at least 100 ships sailing across the ocean to bring back massive amounts of food and treasures every year. This involves the livelihood of the people. As soon as fishing and treasure hunting activities are cut off, I'm afraid that we'll be faced with food shortages in the mainland soon after."
"Oh… Is that so? I'm sorry. I rarely concerned myself with external matters in the past so I'm not too clear on this. Everyone, please carry on." Zhou Weiqing shut his mouth immediately.
Fortunately, the four Supreme Elders did not question him, and they just smiled kindly. Zhou Weiqing was just a young man in their eyes. Although he had impressive talent, he still wasn't mature enough.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace proceeded to say, "Elder Wind, what do you think?"
Elder Wind was a tall and skinny old man. Among the four Supreme Elders, he had been the friendliest one to Zhou Weiqing ever since he arrived more than a month ago. The reason was naturally due to Shangguan Bing'er's gigantic Wings of the Wind God.
"If there's a guarantee that we can retreat unscathed, I think we should try killing it. Aside from being beneficial to us, it'll also serve as a deterrent to the other powerhouses in the ocean. Every year, losses are bound to occur in our fishing operations. If we retreat this time, I'm afraid that, apart from the Dreadfiend Sea Naga, other ocean beasts with comparable strength will become more audacious. If that happens, it'll be a disastrous blow to us."
Elder Fire and Meng Xin nodded slightly after listening to what Elder Wind said. Elder Earth frowned, but he did not say anything. Elder Water shook his head and said, "That's easy for you to say. How do we guarantee that we can retreat unscathed? In the ocean, even if the four of us fight together, we might not be able to stand up to the Dreadfiend Sea Naga's full attack. It can manipulate the force of the ocean. Although our abilities are top-notch on the mainland, compared to the ocean, we're just a drop of water."
Nie Han, who was sitting to Zhou Weiqing's side, closed his eyes as the four Supreme Elders sitting across from them were arguing with each other as if this matter did not concern him at all; Zhou Weiqing realized that this matter would be handled and dealt with by the four Supreme Elders. Although God Tier Honorary Masters like them were respectable, their authority was incomparable to the Supreme Elders.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace then turned to Meng Xing. "Honorary Master Meng Xing, what do you think?"
The four Supreme Elders who were arguing became silent when they heard the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace's question.
Meng Xing looked serious as she replied, "I agree with what Elder Wind said. The war with the Dreadfiend Sea Naga is unavoidable. As it has already come to coastal waters nearby to attack the ships, it's obvious that it's provoking us. Instead of suffering more losses, it's better to solve this problem as soon as possible. Now regarding what Elder Water said about avoiding losses, I think that's what we should consider right now instead of considering whether we should fight or not."
The Mysterious Heavenly Palace Master who barely speaks nodded lightly after hearing what Meng Xing said. "Does anyone have any ideas."
Elder Water looked at Meng Xing who was sitting across him and thought for a while before speaking. "It's not that there are no solutions. If we're really going to take action, then we'll at least need to prepare two things. First, we need to get that person to help us. If that person is willing to fight, then we'll definitely have enough firepower. Next, we'll need to bring out the Spatial Teleportation Stone to build the Teleportation Formation. As soon as something goes wrong, we'll leave immediately."
Zhou Weiqing almost lost himself when he heard about the Spatial Teleportation Stone. It took some effort for him to calm himself down. He cheered secretly in his head. 'Bring it out, bring that thing out so that I have the opportunity to get my hands on it.'
Elder Fire then proceeded to say, "I'm afraid that won't do. Whether we can get the help of that person remains a problem. Besides, the Spatial Teleportation Stone can only be used two or three times at the most before it breaks. The preceding Palace Master instructed that this great treasure shouldn't be simply used unless it concerns the life or death of the palace. Moreover, the energy consumption of the Spatial Teleportation Stone depends on the number of people. If we're going to kill the Dreadfiend Sea Naga, there'll definitely be a large number of people going on the trip. How could it possibly teleport so many people? What if the Spatial Teleportation is destroyed on our watch?"
Elder Water glared at him madly. "You old thing, you were the one who suggested we fight, and now, you're the one who's being paranoid. Aside from the two things that you mentioned, is there no other way we can restrain the Dreadfiend Sea Naga and at the same time guarantee our complete retreat? We'll just be digging our own graves if we fail to get that person to join us. Also, if we push the Dreadfiend Sea Naga to its limit, we might not be able to handle its final attack. Who would dare to go without the guarantee of the Spatial Teleportation Stone? Nobody would dare to give their all even if they go. Even an old man like me still wishes to live for a couple more years."
Elder Fire then scoffed, "You're already so old and you're still afraid of death. No wonder you can't break through to Heavenly God Tier even though you're more talented than I am."
"You…" Elder Water glared at him like he was going to blow up.
"Alright. You two Elders, now is not the time to fight." The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace stopped them with his deep voice. Only then did the two Supreme Elders calm down for the time being.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace Master turned around to speak to Meng Xing again. "Honorary Master Meng Xing, what do you think about Elder Water's suggestion?"
After thinking for a moment, Meng Xing replied, "Let's not talk about using the Spatial Teleportation Stone first, we should at least ask for that person's permission before discussing further. It's impossible to fight the Dreadfiend Sea Naga without that person's help. If that person is unwilling to fight, I'm afraid we'll have to formulate a new plan."
This time, the four Supreme Elders nodded almost at the same time. It was clear that they agreed with what Meng Xing said. Naturally, Zhou Weiqing did not have anything to say. No matter how much approval he had gotten from everyone when it came to making Consolidated Equipment Scrolls, he was still ranked the lowest when it came to authority and did not have much of a voice here. He was content to not speak at all anyway. However, he had finally heard about the Spatial Teleportation Stone. Although he was still not sure if he would be able to see it, what he heard had confirmed that there really was such a thing in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. At least he was not wasting his time here.
Seeing that everyone had come to an agreement, the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace nodded and spoke again. "If that's the case, let us see that person together."
He waved his hand as he spoke. Zhou Weiqing was not sure of what he had done, but he felt the space around him distorting. In the next moment, they appeared at the formation on the sixth level again.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace took the lead while the four Supreme Elders followed behind. Meng Xing walked to Zhou Weiqing and said to him softly. "Weiqing, stay close to me. No matter what you see later, stay within three meters from myself."
"Oh." Zhou Weiqing gave a short reply as he looked at Meng Xing with slight astonishment.
The eight of them left the Mysterious Heavenly Castle. Soon after they arrived at the iron bridge that connected the Mysterious Heavenly Castle to the outside world. Where were they heading to? Who were they seeing? Zhou Weiqing had many doubts in his mind. It was clear that the person that these upper echelons from the Mysterious Heavenly Palace were going to see someone with powerful abilities. That person might even have a higher position than all of them, including the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. Why else would they come in full force? In his heart, he remained extremely vigilant as he adjusted the Saint Energy in his body carefully to better disguise himself.
Just when Zhou Weiqing thought they were going to cross the iron bridge, the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace leaped into the air and down toward the abyss below. Zhou Weiqing was shocked when he saw that. Then, the four Supreme Elders did the same thing. The five of them disappeared into the thick mist of the abyss below in mere seconds. Nie Han gave Zhou Weiqing a light smile and leaped down as well. Meng Xing then grabbed Zhou Weiqing's right arm. "Let's go down. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
As she leaped with Zhou Weiqing while speaking, Zhou Weiqing felt a gradually growing force as they fell towards the abyss below. Was the person that they were meeting in the abyss? Though Zhou Weiqing was surprised, he did not react slowly. He needed to do something that matched his current cultivation base to prevent the others from suspecting him. That was what he thought but what he did in reality was…
Chapter 707
"Ahhh!" A shrill and forlorn scream echoed in the abyss of the Mysterious Heavenly Castle. It almost stirred the entire castle in an instant. Right now, a certain someone who was falling in mid-air came back to his senses and grabbed on tightly to the person next to him like a giant octopus.
It had never crossed Meng Xing's mind that the confident and wise Great God Tier Master Zhou who looked calm in the banquet would react in such a way after leaping off the cliff with her.
Zhou Weiqing's scream had already shocked her to the core. For this reason, when he suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly, she did not even have the time to stop him from doing that. Instantly, a strong manly scent inundated her olfactory senses. The warm and vigorous body was holding on to her tightly in his embrace. What caused her to be at her wit's end was this guy even had his legs up high, wrapped around her luscious ass. Right now, the two bodies were stuck so close to each other that there was not even a gap in between them.
Even though Meng Xing had a high cultivation base, she almost could not control her own body and was on the verge of plummeting into the abyss directly.
"W-What are you doing?" Embarrassed and shocked, she quickly tried to break away from Zhou Weiqing's bear hug. Yet, his embrace was very tight, and no matter how much she struggled, she still could not get away from his arms. On top of that, the speed of their fall was increasing drastically. It left her with no other choice but to use the airflow to carry their bodies' weight so that they would not crash directly to the bottom.
'It feels so good!' Zhou Weiqing's heart was bursting with joy. As he held on tightly to Meng Xing, his face was also stuck against the soft and delicate face of the girl. Her body had a hint of fresh fragrance, and her petite body was extremely soft and fragrant. Hugging her was like hugging a lumpy, boneless lump of cotton. To top it off, it was a really tough cotton. Particularly the part where both of his legs were clinging tightly around her full, round, and perky ass. The surprisingly bouncy ass immediately turned him on. Zhou Weiqing could also vaguely feel a sense of energy in Meng Xing's body that seems to harmonize with his own energy.
Surrounded by the chilly cold peaks, the light gradually turned darker and darker as their bodies fell. Meng Xing was dying to give this perverted guy a good slap in the face. However, she could clearly feel his heartbeat rising through his body as if he was truly afraid. Her heart softened as she sighed secretly. 'This guy is still at the Fifth Jewel level after all. Although he's talented in the consolidating aspect, his cultivation base is still only at the Zun Tier. I guess it's pretty normal for a person to be scared if they suddenly jump off a cliff. Since we are already in a situation like this, I might as well let it be for now.'
Zhou Weiqing was extremely smart. He did not continue to do anything else that would arouse Meng Xing's suspicion. However, there was something in particular that was making her face red with embarrassment. She felt something hot and fiery on her abdomen twitching uncontrollably as they fell.
Despite the fact that she was already 29 years old, Zhou Weiqing was the first man that she had ever gotten physically close to since she was young.
Within the time it took twenty breaths, the surrounding light became completely bleak. Zhou Weiqing could feel the falling speed was decreasing, and in the next moment, they had already landed on the ground with their feet.
He had no idea why but the moment they touched the ground, a sense of chilliness enveloped his body. It was natural for the temperature here to be much colder than the temperature at the top but with his body physique, he should have not been affected by the temperature at all.
Instinctively, Zhou Weiqing raised his head, and his eyes met with a pair of extremely peculiar gaze.
The mouths on the four elders' faces opened so wide that they could practically fit a dragon egg inside. Even the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace was staring at him as his body went stiff. Nie Han's face contorted strangely as he held in his laughter. Even then, he did not dare to laugh out loud. These people were now standing by his and Meng Xing's side.
Of course! A sturdy man clinging onto a beauty and in an octopus-like manner on top of that! One could easily imagine how strange the scene was. Not only that, the person that he was clinging to was none other than Meng Xing, the head of the three honored Great God Tier Masters of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.
"Uhm…" Zhou Weiqing sounded out awkwardly. Slowly, he put his feet back on the ground as he slowly detached himself from Meng Xing. He could even feel that the moment he released his tight embrace, the pair of bouncy flesh on her chest slowly bounced back into their original fullness. Of course, there was another thing that bounced up as well… A specific small thing that tented up in the area around his crotch.
He quickly held his breath with all his might so that his face would turn red at once. Usually, with his thick-skinned personality, he did not mind being glared at by others…
Standing on the spot, Meng Xing was in a daze. The color of her delicate face was oscillating between red and white. The woman who had always been elegant and noble was now breathing rapidly as if she would explode in anger at any second…
"Y-YOU –" As she lifted up her right hand, a terrifying surge of Heavenly Energy exploded out of Meng Xing's body. The power suppression made Zhou Weiqing took a few steps backward before falling on his butt on the ground.
How powerful! Although he was faking his reaction, he could still clearly sense her power at this moment. It was far more powerful than he had expected.
If she really did give him a hard slap, as a Heavenly Jewel Master with a Fifth Jewel cultivation base which he was supposed to be, he would probably be smacked into pieces, and none of his bone fractures would remain.
"Please show mercy!" the four elders hurriedly said as they stepped forward. Such a young God Tier Master like Zhou Weiqing was extremely rare on the mainland.
However, Zhou Weiqing looked unconcerned as he noticed a few odd things. Although the four elders were asking her to show mercy, they did not seem to have any intention to stop her judging from their actions. Even worse, even the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace was just standing there quietly.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Xing's hand that lifted high into the air trembled for a moment before she slowly lowered it down to her side again. The pair of beautiful eyes that were staring at Zhou Weiqing looked like they were about to spit fire out at him. With an angry snort, she turned and started to walk towards the dark ends of the valley.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace only shook his head helplessly. To Zhou Weiqing's surprise, he actually turned around and followed her. It looked like he was trying to tell her something through a sound transmission.
The four Supreme Elders also let out a collective sigh of relief. Looking back at Zhou Weiqing's face that was filled with terror, they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. As they each gave another sigh, they flicked their sleeves before they proceeded to follow the two in front.
God Tier Master Nie Han was the only one who walked forward and helped him off the ground. With a low voice, he whispered, "Weiqing! How bold are you? You actually dare to take advantage of Meng Xing?"
Zhou Weiqing replied awkwardly, "I thought she was pulling me down to commit suicide! I've never tried jumping off a cliff before! I was just a little scared!"
Chuckling, Nie Han gave him an understanding look. "Don't you know that all Heavenly King Tier masters can fly? Alright, just follow me! Don't you provoke her again, alright? Otherwise, if she were to really explode in anger, even the Palace Master will not be able to save you!"
"Okay." Zhou Weiqing nodded his head obediently. Oh well, he had already taken advantage of her anyway.
Chapter 708
Nie Han walked ahead of him. Zhou Weiqing first smelled the faint fragrance on his hand before secretly chuckling in delight as he followed from behind. At the same time, he began to observe his surroundings.
The atmosphere was rather ghastly in the valley. Even the rocks in the surrounding area were black in color. Sunlight could not pierce through the fog that was hovering at the top. There was not even a single blade of grass in the entire valley. There were only jagged rocks with grotesque shapes.
Zhou Weiqing realized that there were two attributes that he was extremely familiar with that were particularly active in the valley. Not only that, the rich density could even be compared to the Fire Attribute that the gigantic dragon Duo Si blew out in her wrath when he was still in the Luster Spatial Realm. These two were the Darkness and Evil Attributes.
That was right. The Evil Attribute was indeed present here. Even though the Evil attribute here was not entirely pure, it was something that Zhou Weiqing had never come across before.
Despite the rough terrain in the valley, it did not affect any of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace experts at all, they were moving at a very fast speed. The further they proceeded in the direction that Meng Xing and the Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace were headed in, the denser the Darkness and Evil attributes in the atmosphere became.
Suddenly, Meng Xing, who was walking in front, came to a halt. She let the four Supreme Elders overtake her before walking by Zhou Weiqing's side again. However, the smile on her delicate face earlier had completely disappeared. It was replaced by a look that was as frosty as ice.
"Er… M-Meng Xing. I really did not mean it," he explained in a whisper.
Glaring at him, she snapped, "Follow me closely! Stay within five meters of me!"
As she was saying that, an aura that Zhou Weiqing found to be familiar and warm immediately radiated out from her body once again. The aura enveloped both their bodies. The moment this strange aura was released, the Darkness and Evil energy in the surroundings were instantly repelled and it no longer invaded their bodies.
The terrain suddenly became flat again. The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and the four Supreme Elders spread out in a line behind him. Meng Xing, on the other hand, led Zhou Weiqing to the Palace Master's side.
In front of the flat terrain was a thick black fog that permeated the bottom of the valley. If they continued to walk forward, Zhou Weiqing was sure that they would enter a state of total darkness.
Now that they had reached here, the Darkness and Evil attributes became a lot purer. However, it was not the kind of purity that a single attribute possessed. The purity was a combination of two attributes.
The Blackness Attribute? Zhou Weiqing's heart stirred. He immediately recalled the Blackness Attribute that Meng Xing had told him about. It seemed like the big shot who was living at the bottom of the valley was skilled in using the Blackness Attribute. Not only that, the fact that he was thought of so highly by the upper echelons of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace must have meant that his cultivation base must be extremely profound.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace looked at Meng Xing. After she had given him a nod, she flipped her wrist. All of a sudden, a black spindled crystal appeared in her hand. The black crystal stood out sharply in contrast to her fair and tender small hand.
Meng Xing shook her wrist. A black light flashed across, and before they knew it, the crystal had already shot out into the black fog.
As he turned to look at the four Supreme Elders and Nie Han, Zhou Weiqing realized that they had a respectful look on their faces at that moment.
In just a short while, an overwhelmingly fierce and cold suppression erupted from the dark fog without warning. Dense black fog surged straight at the crowd.
"Don't move!" Meng Xing's voice resounded in Zhou Weiqing's ears. In the next moment, the dense black fog had completely enveloped the eight of them. Zhou Weiqing finally understood why she told him to stay within five meters of her. Within this boundary, the aura that Meng Xing was exuding helped him repel the effects from his surroundings.
Even though he had molested her earlier, she still cared about his safety. His liking towards her immediately increased several folds. Then again, he had always had a penchant for beauties…
The dense, heavy dark fog lingered and filled the air. The entire surroundings could no longer be seen clearly. Because he was still within Meng Xing's aura, Zhou Weiqing did not dare unleash his perception. It was necessary for him to remain vigilant at all times. He could faintly feel that there seemed to be some aura in the thick black fog that was affecting his bloodline. It made his blood boiled in eagerness to fight in a battle.
"What's the matter?" A deep attractive male voice with bold undertones resonated around them. The terrifying suppressive force that even the group from the Mysterious Heavenly Palace had to be careful against dissipated along with it.
The Palace Master from Mysterious Heavenly Palace said respectfully, "Sir, there is a Dreadfiend Sea Naga that keeps resurfacing near the West Sea recently. It has caused heavy losses to our ships. Somehow, it seems like its attacks are targeting us. It lingers around the coastal waters, refusing to leave. After a discussion among ourselves, we've decided to launch an attack. We would like to invite you to help us, Sir."
"A Dreadfiend Sea Naga?" A hint of surprise could be heard in the heavy male voice. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Do you know what the actual situation over there is like?"
The Palace Master from Mysterious Heavenly Palace shook his head. "No, we don't. We received the news from a letter brought by a bird. All who have encountered it are dead."
"Humph!" An angry snort rang in the air. "How dare the Dreadfiend Sea Naga appear offshore! It's obviously courting death!"
The Palace Master Mysterious Heavenly Palace tried to incite him. "I'm afraid it's trying to provoke your dignity, Sir. Our power is probably insufficient to go against it. That's why we're here to invite you to come along with us."
"If you can lure it up to the shore like you did last time, I can help you kill it. However, if it's in the ocean, I'm afraid I can't do anything," The deep male voice spoke after a moment of silence.
After listening to his words, everyone's faces changed a little. Slightly unconvinced, Meng Xing asked unconvinced, "Is the Dreadfiend Sea Naga really THAT strong? Didn't our predecessors manage to kill one in the past?"
The deep male voice replied, "That was because the naga that was killed was simply a rash idiot. It actually continued its pursuit up to the shore. That was how we managed to kill it collectively. Still, we paid a rather hefty price for that fight. Till today, the Dreadfiend Sea Naga still remains as one of the most powerful dragon species in this world. Its intrinsic origin is second only to the inheritors of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline. It's also an existence at the Mid-level Heavenly God Tier. When it's in the ocean, it can rely on the power of the sea to strengthen itself. Even if it engages in a duel with a Dragon Emperor Bloodline in the sea, it still stands a chance of winning that duel."
Meng Xing's brows knitted slightly as she asked, "Then, do we let it roam free in the ocean just like that? This will bring a great deal of trouble to us! Even if we can't kill it, we need to drive it out at least! Or, could it be that you're just simply afraid of it?"
To Zhou Weiqing's surprise, the powerhouse hiding amid the black fog was not offended by Meng Xing's question. Instead, his tone turned much milder. "Of course I'm not afraid of it. However, if we're to fight with him in the sea, I could still retreat safely unharmed but the same can't be said for all of you. Not only that, it will be difficult for me to drive it out with my strength alone too. If this Dreadfiend Sea Naga really is targeting the lot of you, then I think this must have something to do with the other naga that was killed last time. It must be well prepared for it to wreak such havoc. Besides, I'm sure this time it'll be difficult for us to lure him up to the shore."
Elder Fire asked, "Sir, what if we use the Spatial Teleportation Stone to help us? With the assurance the stone provides, we can launch an attack with all our might. It'll be possible to inflict severe damage on it if we gather all of our power under your leadership, won't it?"
"The Spatial Teleportation Stone?" The dense male voice became silent for a moment. "This sounds like a feasible idea. However, we can't have too many people with us. The transportation ability of the Spatial Teleportation Stone is not as good as it was before. It can only be used three more times at most. And each time, we can't transport more than ten people at once. It's not worth it to use the stone if we're only going to inflict severe damage to the Dreadfiend Sea Naga. However, it's a different story if we're using it to kill the naga. Alright, alright, I'll take the risk of being heavily injured myself and accompany you all this time. However, if we are able to kill it successfully, I want the Nucleus Core of that naga to aid my recuperation. I can also break through to the Mid-level Heavenly God Tier or maybe even higher if I have the Nucleus Core to absorb."
Meng Xing quickly frowned and said, "No, we can't give you all of it! You can only take a small part, that's all!"
"You're too greedy, lass!" The heavy male voice was obviously dissatisfied. Still, even though his voice sounded dissatisfied, Zhou Weiqing could detect a hint of fondness in his voice.
The black fog in front of them suddenly dissipated. Although the surroundings remained blanketed in darkness, he could vaguely see a thing or two in front of him.
Two glowing lights that were flickering abnormally and exuded a rich Darkness Attribute slowly lit up.
'W-What was that?' Zhou Weiqing's heart skipped a little. Under the shadow of the strange red light, he quickly saw a gigantic body slowly standing up just a few hundred meters away from him.
Black scales that looked like fragments of black crystals were embedded in his body. The body was gigantic. It was at least 40 meters long. As he stood up, the huge wings slowly unfurled as well. And that pair of strange devilish lights turned out to be its eyes.
A dragon! It was actually a dragon!
At once, Zhou Weiqing felt like his throat was suddenly being constricted! He actually saw a dragon! Not only that, from the reaction of people from the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, he could clearly see that this dragon was a peerless expert who guarded the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.
Entirely pitch-black scales and dense Blackness Attribute aura. This was obviously a Blackfiend Dragon! A powerful dragon of the Heavenly God Tier Lower Level.
The Mysterious Heavenly Palace indeed lived up to its name as the only saint land in the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland! They actually had a Blackfiend Dragon guarding the palace right here. No wonder! It was no wonder the people of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace were so respectful of him! With such a strong Heavenly God Tier expert, coupled with the enormity of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, the Five Great Saint Lands of the Boundless Mainland would not stand a chance even if they were to join forces and dispatch an overseas expedition.
Zhou Weiqing finally understood why the Five Great Saint Lands in Boundless Mainland would form a non-aggression agreement with the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. The Mysterious Heavenly Palace had a strong card up their sleeves indeed.
At the same time, a cold sweat covered his back. It was a good thing that he had not done anything reckless since he came to this place. Perhaps, he would stand a chance in fleeing from all of these Heavenly Emperor Tier masters, but if it was a Heavenly God Tier master, he probably did not even have the qualification to flee.
Although the Blackfiend Dragon did not deliberately unleash his aura, a strong suppression immediately enveloped each and everyone the moment it stood up. Zhou Weiqing suddenly noticed that the bloodline energy in his body was surging, inciting him and making his entire body fall into a state of intense excitement.
"Eh?" The Blackfiend Dragon's pair of red eyes that was as large as a lantern suddenly looked at him…
Chapter 709
The sudden stir of the bloodline in Zhou Weiqing's body shocked him to the core. He instantly used his Saint Energy to suppress it. His heart constricted in panic even more the moment the Blackfiend Dragon's voice rang out.
With such a situation before him, apart from the Heavenly God Tier Blackfiend Dragon, all of the masters from the Mysterious Heavenly Palace were here. If one of them felt suspicious toward him, it would be extremely hard for him to escape this entire ordeal. Even if he managed to escape, what about Bing'er who was still in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace?
Fortunately, after the "Eh" from the Blackfiend Dragon, it did not take any further action.
"Who is this young man? Your newly-trained disciple? I sense a familiar and cordial aura from his body," the Blackfiend Dragon asked curiously.
After hearing the words 'familiar' and 'cordial', Zhou Weiqing secretly sighed in relief. He had already gotten his arguments ready as it was unrealistic for him to flee forcibly out of this situation. On top of that, he still had a mission to complete. Even if his cultivation base was discovered, he still stood a chance of winning their trust by quibbling his way out. He was from another mainland after all. Nobody on the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland would be able to prove that he harbored ill will toward the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.
Dumbfounded, Meng Xing stared at Zhou Weiqing and asked, "Familiar and cordial? D-Did you sense it wrongly? He's not a disciple that we nurtured. The fact that he's able to come all the way here and see you proves that he has a high rank in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. Let me introduce him to you. This is Zhou Weiqing, the newly recruited Honorary God Tier Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.
"God Tier Master? A God Tier Master with a Sixth Jewel cultivation base?" Under the concealment of the Saint Energy, even the Heavenly God-tier Blackfiend Dragon could not sense Zhou Weiqing's cultivation base.
Astonished, Meng Xing asked Zhou Weiqing, "You just broke through?"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled before he replied, "Yeah, I just entered the Sixth Jewel tier." The reason why he deliberately revealed a slight improvement to his strength was to better conceal his true strength. The moment he learned that he might have to face a Dreadfiend Sea Naga, he had been slowly adjusting his aura.
Staring at him in amazement, Meng Xing nodded to the Blackfiend Dragon. "He has proven that he's a God Tier Master with his abilities. Honorary Master Zhou has spectacular Spiritual Energy talent. It's so much more powerful than the average person. He's very close to reaching the Heavenly God tier. Not only that, his Heavenly Jewels are made up of the three attributes of Wind, Spatial, and Time. With the powerful abilities of the Time Attribute controlling the crafting process of the Consolidating Equipment Scrolls, he can reverse time quickly. For this reason, he can make sure that no mistakes are made when he is crafting the scrolls. He even managed to craft a God Tier Consolidated Equipment because of this. That was why we decided to appoint him as a God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master. Although Honorary Master Zhou is still in his early twenties, his future is beyond promising."
The Blackfiend Dragon had no intention of letting Zhou Weiqing off so easily even though Meng Xing had put in a good word for him. A pair of demonic red eyes stared at him as the dragon asked, "Young man, can you tell me? Where does this familiarity and cordiality that I sense from your body come from?"
Despite being insulated by Meng Xing's protective ring, Zhou Weiqing could still feel the intense and unparalleled sense of intimidation under the dragon's gaze. This sense of intimidation came from a spiritual level.
It seemed like he would have to play some of his cards now.
Zhou Weiqing replied respectfully, "I've seen you before, sir. I think I know the reason why you sense a feeling of familiarity and cordiality from my body. Perhaps, it's because my Heavenly Jewels attributes are in harmony with yours."
The Blackfiend Dragon asked, "In harmony with mine? My attribute is pure Blackness. The ones that you possess are Wind, Time, and Spatial. How could yours possibly be in harmony with mine?"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled lightly. The more he faced this kind of enormous pressure, the clearer his mind became. Moreover, he still possessed one distinguishing trait—he was not easily intimidated. The situation at the moment was similar to the situation when he first met the Mountain Lord of the Heavenly Snow Mountain. It was the same situation all over again. Before he became a Heavenly Jewel Master, Mu En had taught him that the more dangerous the situation that he faced, the calmer he had to be. The more calm and composed you were, the safer you would be.
"Sir, Honorary Master, Meng Xing only mentioned a part of my Heavenly Jewels attributes. Actually, my Heavenly Jewels Attributes are my biggest secret. But in front of you, I no longer want to conceal it. I have a unique cultivation technique. Please give me some guidance."
As he was speaking, he took a few steps forward and stepped out of Meng Xing's protection ring.
The moment he walked out of the protection ring, Zhou Weiqing immediately felt a sudden increase in the pressure of his surroundings. It left him slightly breathless. Still, he forced himself to stand straight as he endured it with sheer willpower.
At the moment, Meng Xing looked somewhat displeased with the situation. The pair of eyes that were staring at Zhou Weiqing were completely filled with wrath. This bastard was so cowardly that he needed to hug her when they were leaping off the cliff but now he actually walked out of her protection ring so confidently in the face of the Heavenly God-tier Blackfiend Dragon? How could he possibly be scared of jumping off the cliff in the first place? What an asshole! ASSHOLE!
If it weren't for the unusual situation that they were in right now, Meng Xing would have probably given him a hard slap in the face. Still, she had to admit that the way Zhou Weiqing walked out of her protection ring, and the way he faced the Blackfiend Dragon alone was very, very manly!
Zhou Weiqing released the Heavenly Power Jewels. There were six each on both wrists. When the Alexandrite Cat Eye's Gems appeared on his left wrist, the Blackfiend Dragon's pupils constricted in an obvious manner.
When he waved his left hand, the six Alexandrite Cat Eye's Jewel floated in the air. At this moment, the six jewels suddenly started to change colors.
Wind, Thunder, Darkness, Space, Time, Evil.
Without a doubt, the most shocking jewel was naturally the colorless but distorted Time jewel and the pure grey Evil jewel.
Zhou Weiqing waved both of his hands. Two equilateral triangles formed in front of him. Under the astonished gaze of the others, the six Heavenly Jewels slowly merged into one.
Swoosh!
The dense and intense Heavenly Energy vibrated vigorously as the brilliant light shone in every direction instantly. Six different colored halos slowly rose up to the sky. It formed a light shield that enveloped Zhou Weiqing's entire body. At this moment, the pressure that he felt earlier on his body decreased significantly . As he waved both of his hands again, the hexagram slowly descended and remained silent at his feet. The six halos surged up into the enshrouding mist. It appeared so dazzling and lustrous in this dark world.
"This is…"
Even though the people present had a much higher cultivation base than Zhou Weiqing, the moment they saw the emergence of the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation, nobody could suppress the look of bewilderment that crept onto their faces.
The higher the cultivation base, the better a person could discern the uniqueness of the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation. Particularly the resonance technique that was formed by placing all six attributes on one balanced point. For those who were present, this had completely toppled their understanding of the Heavenly Jewels. On top of that, those were six different attributes!
Zhou Weiqing's eyes lighted up without any warning, and six different lights immediately appeared around his body.
Wind Blade, Lightning Pearl, Compressed Spatial Cannon, Time Delay, Ball of Corrosion, and the Demonic Jewel of the Evil Attribute.
These were the basic skills of the six attributes. However, being able to cast the skills of all six different attributes in an instant was something quite significant. Everybody could see that a Heavenly Jewel Master with talents like Zhou Weiqing would never store such lowly skills, but what did he actually mean when he cast them all at once?
Suddenly, Zhou Weiqing, who was in the center of the six lowly skills, calmly spoke.
"My six attributes are Wind, Thunder, Darkness, Space, Time, and Evil. I think the reason why you feel the familiarity and warmness is because I possess both Darkness attribute and Evil attribute at the same time. This coincides with the Blackness attribute of yours, sir."
Obviously, the Blackfiend Dragon had a profound interest in him. He reduced his intimidation force as much as possible as he lowered his big head down to look at him. "What is the resonance technique that you just cast a moment ago?"
Chuckling, Zhou Weiqing replied, "This is the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation that I created myself. After I gained possession of all the six attributes, I kept wondering how I could maximize the power of the six attributes. For this reason, I have done many experiments. When I finally broke through to the Sixth Jewel tier just recently, I somehow managed to create this by chance. The secret to my Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation lies with simulation and guidance. It can guide the Atmospheric Energy in the air to greatly boost my Heavenly Energy regeneration speed, giving me greater endurance in battle. Not only that, with the help of the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation, I can also simulate any stored techniques of the six attributes that are six stars and below. However, since I just created it recently, I still need some time to get used to it. Still, I believe that as my strength improves, the power of my Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation will become greater and greater as well."
Self-created? The moment this word came out of Zhou Weiqing's mouth, a series of sharp gasping noises could be heard coming from behind.
The gaze that Meng Xing used to look at him had become extremely strange. At first, they thought he was a genius of his generation in the field of crafting Consolidated Equipment Scrolls. However, it seemed like it was not only in this field after all. He was a prodigy in terms of cultivation as well! Six Heavenly Jewels coupled with a Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation? Seeing that he was only still in his early twenties, who would dare say that he would not become a peerless expert in the future?
"Indeed, it is the Evil Attribute. I've not seen such a pure Evil Attribute in a very long time. That's great. Alright, from the looks of it, the Mysterious Heavenly Palace has a brighter future now. Perhaps, you can even become a great existence like me in the future. If it's not for the fact that you're still too young, you'd be a great help in the war against the Dreadfiend Sea Naga."
The Blackfiend Dragon nodded his large head. He did not even bother to hide his admiration toward Zhou Weiqing. In fact, its Blackness Attribute was still a little inferior to Zhou Weiqing's Evil Attribute. Sensing the energy ripples that were filled with a devilish aura, its admiration towards the young man had gone up a few notches.
Zhou Weiqing replied respectfully, "Although my cultivation base is still low, since I've joined the Mysterious Heavenly Palace and am already part of the palace, I'm willing to fight against strong enemies alongside you and the other Mysterious Heavenly Palace's comrades."
Meng Xing knitted her brows as she asked, "Do you have a death wish?"
Chapter 710
Zhou Weiqing smiled and said, "No, it doesn't necessarily mean that I have a death wish. The reason why I have such achievements today is because I've put myself in risky situations countless times. Still, I've managed to survive in the end. I think it'll be extremely helpful to my cultivation in the future if I personally experience the process of how Sir Blackfiend Dragon slaughters the Dreadfiend Sea Naga."
Ass-kissing-in this case, kissing a dragon's ass-was definitely a great skill. This time, Zhou Weiqing managed to flatter him in a very slick manner. And because of the good impression that the Blackfiend Dragon had of him, the dragon nodded his head, "Although I won't necessarily win against the Dreadfiend Sea Naga with my cultivation base, I can at least protect a person with me. Since you want to go, go ahead. I'm sure that it'll be beneficial to your cultivation. If we succeed this time, I'll let you store a skill from my body. Even though it's kind of wasteful to use it to supplement your Evil attribute, I think it's more than enough to complement your Darkness Attribute."
"Thank you for agreeing to it, Sir," Zhou Weiqing said with joy. This was definitely not a facade. Being able to obtain and store a skill from a Heavenly God Tier Heavenly Beast would of great help to him.
Meng Xing was staring blankly at Zhou Weiqing who was standing before her as she thought to herself, 'This guy doesn't seem as haughty as he was before!' Still, Zhou Weiqing's talent left her speechless. With her cultivation base and background, she also could not help but feel a pang of jealousy toward this guy.
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace said, "Since you're willing to go with us, let's plan our strategy carefully before we take any action. We must make sure that there are no mistakes at all!"
"Okay. All of you can leave first. Dongfang, stay behind for a while with Meng Xing," the Blackfiend Dragon said in a deep tone.
Zhou Weiqing gave Meng Xing a reluctant glance before leaving with the four Supreme Elders and Nie Han. In truth, he originally planned to continue taking advantage of her during the return trip. With his display of the six attributes earlier, he believed that no matter how high Meng Xing's position was in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, she would not dare to do anything to him. He was actually missing the soft, warm, enticing flesh and fragrance that was in his embrace earlier.
'Meng Xing's Physical Jewel seemed to be about flexibility. Hmm… How nice would it be if they were to… Hehe…' Of course, everything was just in his mind. At least, that was what he told himself.
This time, it was Nie Han who took Zhou Weiqing back to the top of the peak. After they returned to the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, Nie Han gave Zhou Weiqing a thumbs-up again before returning to his own room.
Zhou Weiqing also returned to his room. Bing'er was still cultivating. She only opened her eyes when she heard him return.
"What happened?" Bing'er asked through a sound transmission.
Zhou Weiqing replied with a sound transmission as well, recounting all that had happened.
When Shangguan Bing'er heard about the whereabouts of the Spatial Teleportation Stone, she immediately became overjoyed. Even though she usually did not consider herself a part of the Heaven's Expanse Palace, it was still undoubtedly a great thing being able to save the Heavenly Jewel Island without affecting Zhongtian City.
"Little Fatty, how are your preparations going? Even though the Spatial Teleportation Stone might very well appear when the time comes, I'm afraid that it'll be hard for you to get your hands on it in the presence of so many experts.
Zhou Weiqing nodded his head in silence before he whispered, "I still have to try no matter what. This may be the best and only chance that we'll get. Judging from the Blackfiend Dragon's tone, the Dreadfiend Sea Naga must be very difficult to deal with. When the time comes, it's very likely that it will end up in an internecine outcome. Opportunity will present itself the moment that happens. The Blackfiend Dragon will be unable to extricate himself from that mess to deal with me. And as for the other people, even a Heavenly Emperor-tier master won't be able to catch up to me if I'm really bent on escaping. If I really get my hands on the stone, I'll inform you through the Luster Sound Transmission Stone. You'll wait for me in the sea with the Neptune Shuttle and we'll leave immediately."
With a face full of concern, Bing'er asked, "B-But, isn't it too risky?"
Zhou Weiqing replied with confidence, "Don't worry, I won't do anything if I don't have the absolute confidence. What's more, they don't know about my true strength at all. I'm pretty confident about this. What I worry about the most is you actually. If my guess is correct, once we leave on the expedition, you'll have to stay behind. With a hostage here, they'll have more confidence in me. For this reason, once we carry out the plan, you must leave this place the instant an opportunity presents itself! By then, the people left behind to guard this place will only be some Heavenly King Masters. I'm sure you'll have no problem getting out with your Wings of the Wind God."
Bing'er nodded her head and said, "I guess that's the only way. You don't have to worry about me. If somehow I…"
Before she could finish her words, she was already pulled into a tight embrace by Zhou Weiqing as he planted a deep kiss on her lips. "Silly girl, there's no 'if'. The Spatial Teleportation Stone means nothing to me compared to your safety!"
As he was saying that, he lifted her up, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the place that he loved the most – the bed.
…
In the following period of time, the mood in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace turned increasingly tense. Great effort was placed into the preparations, but they were not in a rush to set off. It was apparent that this time, the Mysterious Heavenly Palace wanted to be fully prepared so that they could accomplish the task in one fell swoop. As for what they were preparing, Zhou Weiqing had no idea at all.
In truth, the mood had no effect on Zhou Weiqing whatsoever. He had quite a respected and esteemed position here as an Honorary God Tier Master. Needless to say, he did not need to do anything by himself at all.
Zhou Weiqing and Bing'er continued to cultivate arduously every day. Due to the fact that this place was rich in Atmospheric Energy, their cultivation was much more effective and they accomplished twice as much with only half the effort. Zhou Weiqing's cultivation base was rising steadily as well. Although his cultivation was no longer as fast as when he was using the Immortal Deity Technique, as the saying went, a penny saved was a penny earned indeed. A day would eventually come when he would have a chance. Not only that, he also familiarized himself with the utilization of his Heavenly Dao Energy.
"Weiqing, are you there?" A series of knocks came from the door as Meng Xing's sweet voice resonated from outside.
Ever since that encounter with the Blackfiend Dragon, Zhou Weiqing had not seen her. At first, he thought that she was angry, but he did not hear any anger in her tone now.
Bing'er walked over to open the door. "Honorary Master Meng Xing, please enter."
Meng Xing shook her head as she said, "No, it's alright. I just wanted to invite Weiqing to a meeting with everyone to strategize, since we'll be attacking the Dreadfiend Sea Naga soon."
By this time, Zhou Weiqing had walked over as well. He did not know why, but when he looked at the bright and warm smile on Meng Xing's face, he could literally feel chills running down his spine.
"I don't have to go to the strategy meeting, do I? I'm just an extra anyway," Zhou Weiqing replied, scratching his head.
Chuckling, Meng Xing replied, "How can you say that? In our eyes, you're a genius that's one of a kind! Not only that, you've also said that you want to gain some experience through this battle. So, let's go together!" Before she even finished her sentence, she had already turned and walked away.
Zhou Weiqing gave Bing'er a reassuring look before he followed Meng Xing's footsteps.
Meng Xing walked ahead and did not speak to him at all. Very soon, both of them came to the center of the sixth floor where they could be teleported.
Zhou Weiqing thought to himself, 'Could it be that I've guessed wrong and we're really going to the Heavenly Court for a meeting?'
Meng Xing continued to remain silent. He had no time to guess as a distorted bright light suddenly appeared before the two of them vanished into thin air.
However, Zhou Weiqing soon noticed that something was amiss. When they reappeared again, they were not in the Heavenly Court where they had the meeting the last time. Instead, it was a wide open space.
The ground seemed to be paved with granite yet it gave off a kind of illusory feeling. The place was so vast that it seemed to stretch infinitely.
'Sh*t! I was duped!' Zhou Weiqing thought to himself. His heart constricted at once. He was not certain of Meng Xing's strength, and in such a confined space, he did not know how to leave this place at all. He would be in deep trouble if problems suddenly arose.
The moment they arrived, the smile on Meng Xing's face disappeared in a flash. Her gaze instantly turned chilly.
"Go to hell, Zhou Weiqing!" A terrifying and threatening suppression as vast as mountains surged from her body all at once. With a stretch of her right palm, an intense, rich Heavenly Energy descended upon him before transforming into a gigantic palm that slapped at him.
'Drats! Did she discover my real identity?' That was the first thought that flashed through Zhou Weiqing's mind. It was obvious that a Heavenly Jewel Master with a Sixth Jewel cultivation base would not be able to resist such a slap.
A silverish light flashed past and he quickly unleashed his Blink. In an instant, he reappeared in a spot that more than a dozen meters away from his original spot. A thundering rumble could be heard coming from the place that he was standing at just a moment ago. The tremors were so strong that it sent him flying back.
"Meng Xing! What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Zhou Weiqing shouted in anger. He feigned a look of outrage as he quickly racked his brain.
The first thing that he needed to do was to find out if Meng Xing had discovered his identity. If that was the case, then a duel would be inevitable. He would have to defeat her if he wanted to leave alive. Furthermore, Bing'er was still in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace!
Seeing that her first attack missed, Meng Xing immediately launched her second attack. The milky color of her Heavenly Energy consolidated into a long sword in the air. The tip of the sword was pointed directly at Zhou Weiqing's chest. There was a flash of brightness as it charged straight toward him without any warning.
Zhou Weiqing inhaled deeply, he had already made a resolute decision. Agitated, he yelled loudly, "Kill me then!" He actually planned to stand there without attempting to dodge the attack at all.
In the blink of an eye, the milky light sword reached his chest. At that moment, Zhou Weiqing's heart was already in his throat. Even if he did not make any attempts to block the attack, he was confident that the sword would not inflict any serious injury on him. However, if that really happened, it would mean that Meng Xing had already found out about his identity and that was why she was so persistent in killing him. Without a doubt, it would definitely throw a wrench into his plans. For this reason, the risk he took could be considered as being closely related to his mission in the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland.
A light flashed, and in an instant, the light sword came to a halt just half a foot away from his chest. The edge was so sharp that it gave Zhou Weiqing goosebumps on his chest. The completed Immortal Deity Shield was already formed on his skin. If he had not used his Saint Energy to suppress it, the Immortal Deity Shield would have long appeared to protect him.
Chapter 711
"Why didn't you dodge it?" Meng Xing asked coldly.
Zhou Weiqing replied in a huff, "Your cultivation base is at the Heavenly King Tier at the very least. Yes, I managed to dodge it once but how do you expect me to keep dodging? Not to mention that we're in an area that you led me to. I'll have to die eventually, right? Since this is the case, I might as well die straight away. Come on! Just do it!"
Closing both of his eyes, Zhou Weiqing placed his hands behind him. He had a self-righteous look on his face.
Coldly, Meng Xing asked, "You don't even want to know why I want to kill you?"
Zhou Weiqing would not let himself be fooled. Keeping his eyes shut, he replied, "Since I'll be dead anyway, what's the use of knowing? Hurry! Be done with it!"
Without warning, the tingling sensation on his skin disappeared at once. Opening his eyes again, he saw that the light sword before him had disappeared without a trace.
Meng Xing glared at him furiously, "Zhou Weiqing! You bastard! How dare you molest me? Even if I can't kill you, I'll make sure you pay a hefty price! Don't say I didn't give you any chance at all! I'll use the power of a Sixth Jewel and if you can defeat me, I'll let you walk out of here freely. Otherwise, I'll really kill you off!"
Looking at her infuriated eyes, Zhou Weiqing's heart was set at ease. As he expected, it was that incident after all, and not because she had found out about his identity. That was right! He had not revealed any flaw so how could she possibly find out about him right?
"So what do I get if I win?" Zhou Weiqing's eyes were alert as he asked casually.
Meng Xing replied coldly, "I'll let that incident go if you win."
Zhou Weiqing snorted, "You'll use a Sixth Jewel cultivation base? Oh, come on, you may not be a match for me at all, ya know? Besides, who can guarantee that you won't go against your words later? After all, your cultivation base is much higher than mine."
Meng Xing was enraged, "What sort of person do you think I am? I've never gone against my words before!"
Without any hesitation, Zhou Weiqing said, "Then you must swear that if you flop and use a power that is beyond what someone with a cultivation base of Six Jewels, you'll have to spend a night with me!"
"You!" Meng Xing was infuriated to the maximum by the guy standing before her, "You bastard! What a shameless guy! I really misjudged you!"
Shrugging his shoulder, Zhou Weiqing replied, "How am I shameless? You want my life, and I just want your body. Speaking of that, you're the one that's taking advantage of me, don't you think so? Besides, this is a battle that you initiated. If you don't swear it, it means that you just want to deride it."
"Alright, fine! I'll swear! Zhou Weiqing! I'll kill you today no matter what! This gamble is just an excuse for me to kill you off! I, Meng Xing, swear that if I use more than Sixth Jewels' power to fight Zhou Weiqing later on in the match, I… I'll…" As she was stuttering over the last two words, Meng Xing's face was already flushed red. In the still end, she gritted her teeth as she spat out, "I'll spend a night with him!"
Zhou Weiqing laughed as he said, "Alright, let's do it! Don't you regret it, okay?" As he said that, he tapped his foot on the ground before retreating in a flash. At the same time, layers and layers of dark golden light emitted from his body at once.
Even though Meng Xing had already guessed that he must have a set of God Tier Consolidated Equipment, the moment she saw the six consecutive dark golden lights flashed by, her pupils could not help but constrict at that moment. Of course, she didn't know that in truth, he actually had a total of seven pieces of Consolidated Equipment. He even had the Overlord Bow.
The moment the Dual God Strength Hammers appeared in his hands, Zhou Weiqing could instantly feel his entire body getting filled with a petrifying power. A pair of Yin-Yang Giant Spirit Palms, shoulder pauldrons, a chest plate, along with the armor and war-kilt by his waist. All these formed his six-piece Ringless Ground Purging Set. Under the shadow of the intense dark golden light, he exuded a dense, solid feeling all over his body.
Meng Xing let out a cold snort. Like Zhou Weiqing, a set of six dark golden lights flared out of her body. Completely different from his Ringless Ground Purging Set's imposing and spectacular style, her legendary armor set looked more like scales.
The chestplate was the first to appear. Its center was a series of dense rhombuses that had their ends pointed outwards with a dark red rhombus gemstone right in the middle. The shoulder pauldrons were long and slender. It had a dragon head on both sides that covered her beautiful shoulders entirely. Scale-like armor continued to spread down as it covered both her arms and all the way to her palms where a pair of sharp dragon claws could be seen. Not only that, the armor also extended downwards from her waist, covering both of her legs as well.
One could say that Meng Xing was completely covered in the legendary armor set other than her head.
Zhou Weiqing's eyes widened. How could this be possible? It was only six pieces of God Tier Consolidated Equipment, wasn't it? How could it possibly cover her entire body? His equipment had six pieces as well but his legs were obviously still bare! Could it be that…
Meng Xing slowly raised her right hand. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her Physical Jewel was actually similar to Shangguan Fei'er's. It turned out to be Dual Physical Jewels – Flexibility and Strength. No wonder her legendary armor set covered such a large amount of area. Only six pieces and it was already enough to cover her entire body. What would happen if her legendary armor set reached ten pieces? Then, the seventh armor would be the helmet and what else was left? Would all of them turn into weapons? That pair of dragon claws already looked like a weapon to him.
"Dual Physical Jewels coupled with the Alexandrite's Cat Eyes Heavenly Jewel. This girl's talent is basically on par with mine! No wonder she has so much confidence that she'll be able to defeat me even if she has to use the Sixth Jewel cultivation base!"
However, looking at how powerful Meng Xing was aroused Zhou Weiqing's desire to win the duel. He was also at the Sixth Jewel cultivation base. Why would he be inferior to her?
He smashed the two hammers together. It elicited a loud noise as they clashed. The Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation immediately appeared out of thin air and turned into a hexagram by his feet.
Meng Xing narrowed her eyes instantly but her movements were not slow at all. She did not use any technique as her delicate body suddenly bounced up from the ground and charged towards Zhou Weiqing with lightning speed. Her speed and power exploded at once, fully displaying her physical strength.
When Zhou Weiqing recalled that he had once held her soft and tender body in his arms, his heart could not help but shudder in surprise. That soft, cotton-like delicate body could actually unleash such a terrifying force?
Despite what was going through his mind, Zhou Weiqing was not slow at all. He knew that if he lost this battle, with Meng Xing's wrath now, he would definitely be skinned alive even if he did not die.
Faced with Meng Xing's attack, he extended his left foot forward. At the same time, the hammers in his hands made an upward movement followed by a loud shout, "Open!"
The Dual God Strength Hammers were extremely large. When Zhou Weiqing was waving it, one in the back and one in front, it completely blocked all angles of attack Meng Xing had.
In the next instance, her dragon claws fell on the Dual God Strength Hammers.
"Eh?" She panicked as her body spun in the air instantly. She had not done it deliberately do. This was the result of the Dual God Strength Hammers.
Originally, Meng Xing had only wanted to test Zhou Weiqing's strength. Even though she was only using Sixth Jewel cultivation base, this did not take into account her physical strength. Just with her Dual Physical Jewels, she was extremely confident in herself. She assumed that she would be able to defeat him without unleashing any technique.
However, the moment her dragon claws crashed with his dual hammers, something unexpected happened.
On the 'smiling-face' hammer, one of her claw that was imbued with energy seemed to hit nothing. Meanwhile, the terrifying energy that came from the 'crying-face' hammer was far beyond her expectation. With one side weak and the other strong, Meng Xing was thrown up into the air and began spinning uncontrollably.
How could Zhou Weiqing pass up such a good opportunity? Like a whip, his right leg stretched out and made a beeline straight for her waist.
At the same time, the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation activated at once. 100 beads of Lightning Pearls appeared in her spinning trajectory without any warning. She was a true Heavenly King-tier master, how could he possibly show her any mercy? Now that he had gotten the upper hand with his battle tactics, he had to continue unleashing his power till she was completely defeated.
However, at this time, Meng Xing's powerful strength began to show itself. At the first opportunity, she regained control of her own body. The body that was spinning uncontrollably in the air suddenly curled up. Similar to Zhou Weiqing, she extended a leg out and clashed with his right leg. At the same time, a faint hazy blue halo erupted out of her body all of a sudden. Tha halo was extremely gentle but instead of blocking the Lightning Pearls, it enveloped them before throwing them far, far away. The moment she enveloped the Lightning Pearls with the halo, the connection between them and Zhou Weiqing was instantly cut off as well.
'Such remarkable control!' Zhou Weiqing marveled secretly in his heart. It was at this time that both of their legs collided fiercely.
In the midst of a loud crash, the person who was at loss was none other than Meng Xing. Her curled body was directly kicked by Zhou Weiqing at least ten feet away. When she landed, she staggered seven to eight steps backward before she finally regained her footing.
Meng Xing stared in astonishment at Zhou Weiqing. She could not accept this! Not forgetting she had the Power affinity for her Physical Jewels and was using Dual Physical Jewels. Strictly speaking, she was supposed to have a bigger advantage than him.
On top of that, both of her legs were completely covered in the legendary armor set! She had been defeated in terms of strength by his bare right leg that was not covered by armor, not to mention that her entire right leg was tingling in numbness. How could she possibly not be surprised by this?
Looking at her surprised face, Zhou Weiqing undoubtedly understood what she was wondering about. Chuckling, he asked, "Meng Xing, have you forgotten about my background? I come from the Strength Legacy and the name isn't without reason. I can also tell you frankly that my legendary armor set is actually called the Ringless Ground Purging Set Which functions to purely boost the strength. Every time there's an additional piece, my strength will be doubled. Having just six pieces is more than enough to boost my strength by 64 folds. Putting aside the fact that you're suppressing your cultivation base, even under normal circumstances, if were were to complete purely in terms of strength, I would still not be afraid of you even if you unleash your Heavenly King-tier energy.," Of course, this was also under the circumstances that Zhou Weiqing was suppressing his own cultivation base.Otherwise, if he were to add his Saint Energy into his strength, he would dare to trade a few blows even if his opponent was a Heavenly Emperor-tier master.
Chapter 712
"The Ringless Ground Purging Set? The Ringless Ground Purging Set. What a Strength Legacy this is." Meng Xing's eyes lit up at once. Instead of appearing angry at being defeated, the look in her beautiful eyes somehow became more composed and calm.
A calm opponent was the most terrifying one. Looking at the changes in her, Zhou Weiqing turned vigilant as he probed, "How about we just end it right here? Let's just call it a tie?"
Meng Xing's answer was absolutely unadulterated, "IN- YOUR- DREAMS!"
The moment she finished talking, she charged toward him again. Furthermore, this time, her speed became much faster. In just a flash, she had already appeared in front of Zhou Weiqing. Before he could lift his Dual God Strength Hammers, her delicate body had already vanished again.
Blink!
As a God Tier Master, the Spatial attribute was undeniably important. Of course, it was natural for her to possess this Blink technique as well.
Zhou Weiqing did not dare to hesitate. The moment he lost sight of Meng Xing, he quickly unleashed his Blink as well. Two silver lights alternately flashed almost in tandem. The moment he disappeared, her claws literally scratched at the position he was just standing in a moment ago. She clawed a hole at the residual image left behind by Blink.
When he reappeared, both of the hammers were already lifted and spun a full circle around him.
His movements were precise. Because, just as he reappeared, Meng Xing had also appeared at his side. Faced with the absolute coercing force from the Dual God Strength Hammer, she could not do much. Like a solid bridge, her entire body arched backward as if she had no bone in her. At the same time, her right leg bounced up and slipped through the gap between the two hammers, heading straight for Zhou Weiqing's chest.
"Bam!" In the thunderous rubble, he staggered three steps backward. Meng Xing was unlucky as she was pushed back too.
She had just fully experienced the powerful effect of the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formations. Just as she lifted her leg up to kick him, there were a total of 10 Lightning Pearls that were gathered in front of his chest. For this reason, her foot could only land on and hit those Lightning Pearls. Both her and Zhou Weiqing's bodies were separated in a violent explosion. The originally victorious kick turned out to be a wild goose chase in the end.
Anomalous. Only this word could be used to describe The Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation's sudden burst. Not to mention the fact that its Heavenly Energy consumption was extremely low.
The Flying Lightning God Technique was the handiest technique Zhou Weiqing had. The instance both of them were blown back, he quickly launched his second immediate technique on the spot. It was the Flying Lightning God Technique again. The only difference was instead of Lightning Pearl, he changed it to lightning bolt instead. At once, more than 100 lightning bolts were simultaneously launched. All of them were fired toward to Meng Xing.
The speed of the lightning bolts was just too fast! Not to mention the fact that it was an immediate technique. For this reason, there was absolutely no way for her to dodge at all. In desperation, a black light shield emerged above Meng Xing's head. A series of 'thud' sound could be heard as the lightning dispersed as it hit the black light shield. However, at the same time, she could not launch an attack toward Zhou Weiqing at all.
Currently, she had completely put aside her contempt toward Zhou Weiqing. This bizarrely talented guy was even more difficult to defeat than what she had imagined. Particularly his Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation's immediate technique. It always thwarted her attacks at the most dangerous moment. If only she could unleash her full strength, then this would be just a small matter to her as she could very easily suppress him. However, because she could only use a Sixth Jewel cultivation base, she dared not use many techniques that consumed too much energy. On top of that, Zhou Weiqing's Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation immediate technique was impossibly fast. She was not sure if her own techniques would be interrupted by him.
The surprise that Zhou Weiqing felt was no less than Meng Xing's. As a God Tier Master, why was her combat experience so rich? He had thought that he had plenty of combat experience but somehow she did not seem to be inferior to him. In just a short moment, she had already seen through his speed's weakness when he was using his pure energy. With the help of her flexibility boost, she had almost pierced through his defense. Not only that, from the beginning of the battle till now, they were just probing each other with their attacks and none of them had completely unleashed their powers yet.
Even though they had suppressed their cultivation base to the Sixth Jewel, this battle was actually quite fair. Even supposing Zhou Weiqing had not reached the Heavenly King-tier yet, he still had his Saint Energy with him. If he had unleashed his Saint Energy, even Meng Xing who was in the Heavenly King-tier might not stand a chance of winning against him. In the end, it looked like suppressing their cultivation base was actually a lot fairer and safer because they would have to use their true capability instead during the battle.
After the lightning was dispelled by the black light shield, the two of them did not continue to launch any attack as if they had a tacit understanding. They watched each other vigilantly. Their Chi energies were completely locked to each other, ready to attack at any given moment.
Zhou Weiqing narrowed his eyes. The Dual God Strength Hammers lowered slightly by his sides. In truth, he was rejoicing secretly in his heart. Fortunately, Meng Xing's Duo Physical Jewels were not a combination of flexibility and speed. Or otherwise, he would definitely fall into an even more disadvantageous situation. It was extremely difficult to defeat her when he had to hide his true strength at the same time.
"Whoosh –" Meng Xing let out a long breath. Zhou Weiqing could clearly feel that the surrounding had suddenly become much chillier than usual. Dots of blue lights emitted from her body at once. Almost instantly, they spread out to cover a range of several hundred square meters.
A Qi field? No! It was the effect of her Heavenly Dao Energy affecting the Atmospheric Energy.
"That's foul play!" Zhou Weiqing glared at her.
Meng Xing looked at him coldly, "What foul play? I only said that I'll use a Sixth Jewel cultivation base! I didn't say that I won't use techniques that I'm skilled at!"
He stared at her speechlessly. "This is the effect of your Heavenly Dao Energy affecting the Atmospheric Energy. Isn't it foul play using the Atmospheric Energy to help you?"
Meng Xing snorted, "When I say it's Six Jewels, that means it's Six Jewels. This is just what I deduced. Who asked you to have such a weak cultivation base anyway? If you're so great, you can utilize the Atmospheric Energy here, too!"
Although this was another space, the Atmospheric Energy here was full of vitality. The way Meng Xing was using her Heavenly Dao Energy to mobilize the Atmospheric Energy granted her an infinite amount of backup. Although her attack would still be at the Sixth Jewel-tier, it was still infinite Six Jewels for f*ck sake! Despite the fact that Zhou Weiqing had the support of his Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation, he could not use it to mobilize the Atmospheric Energy as she did. What was more important was, even though he had the Heavenly Dao Energy's induction too, he did not dare to use it at all!
"You're such a bully!" Zhou Weiqing lamented in anger.
A glimpse of laughter flashed across Meng Xing's eyes, "Yes! And I'm bullying you!" As she finished saying that, her body moved. Once again, she was charging toward him. This time was different than before. The chilliness in the air increased in an instance. Numerous ice shards rushed along with her as they swarmed toward Zhou Weiqing's body as well. The chilly air instantly pierced into his body in a frenzied manner.
Although these ice shards were not enough to affect him for the time being, as the time went by, the cold would surely make his movements rigid. His Heavenly Energy consumption would increase greatly as well.
At first, Meng Xing did not have the intention to do this but Zou Weiqing's powerful energy along with his Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation was just too troublesome. She was determined to win this duel. Not just to let off her steam but to also teach Zhou Weiqing a small lesson. Even she could not understand why she brought him here today. Was it really just because she felt unsatisfied about the incident that day? She refused to admit that her heart that had never moved in the past thirty years was now somewhat feeling a little restless.
The Dual God Strength Hammers waved sideways. A twinkle could be seen in Zhou Weiqing's eyes. As the hammers were thrown to the side, his body was suddenly enveloped by a rich layer of green light. He quickly took a step back and picked up the hammers again before smashing them down vigorously from the top.
Meng Xing was taken aback by his sudden increase in speed. This was the Wind-type Accelerate Technique. His Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation could even imitate this assisting technique?
With a loud roar, the entire space seemed like it violently shook for a moment. A tyrannical and peerless turbulent force smashed most of the Atmospheric Energy that Meng Xing had gathered in the air into pieces. The strong shock ripple even stopped her from her pursuit.
What a strong power. She narrowed her eyes instantly. Right now, she could clearly feel how strong Zhou Weiqing's power really was. He did not boast after all. Even if she had unleashed her Heavenly King-tier cultivation base, her pure power seemed to be inferior to his power when he smashed the hammers down on the ground.
In the next moment, a strong sense of danger crept into Meng Xing's heart. She was shocked to see a purplish red light rising up from Zhou Weiqing's back as it turned into a strange creature suspended in midair.
Heavenly Skill Projection?
Meng Xing was completely stunned. Zhou Weiqing's cultivation base was only at the Sixth Jewel. Not to mention he had only just gotten to the Sixth Jewel not too long ago. From her what she understood, he would never be able to cast such a powerful technique like the Heavenly Skill Projection with a cultivation base like his! Not only that, she could sense great danger from the aura emitting out of the technique.
There was almost no hesitation as a Heavenly Skill Projection rose up from behind Meng Xing too. Before Zhou Weiqing could see clearly, it was already charging toward the Heavenly Skill Image of the Demonic Dragon Lady on top of his head in high speed.
The clash of two Heavenly Skill Images.
Unfortunately, he was already prepared for the clash. That time, after he had suffered the loss from the battle with the Lion Prince Gu Yingbing, he had made many painstaking efforts. In the absence of absolute certainty, he would never display his Heavenly Skill Projection.
Another cold snort could be heard before a purplish red light rose up again. This time, the light clashed with Meng Xing's Heavenly Skill Image. In an instant, two lights flashed across the sky and vanished at the same time.
'Does he really have two Heavenly Skill Images?' Meng Xing thought to herself. She was in a state of surprise yet her response was unparalleled. She did not attempt another clash as she could suddenly sense that Zhou Weiqing's particular technique was about to be completed soon.
A layer of dark light suddenly burst out of her body. The crisis left her with no choice other than to use some of her special skills.
The chill that was originally in the air was suddenly filled with a kind of dark aura. A thick layer of dark fog was being released from Meng Xing's entire body. Something was moving vaguely in the dark fog but Zhou Weiqing could not see clearly at all.
Chapter 713
That was right. Zhou Weiqing's Dragon Silencing Seal would be completed very soon. Meng Xing had cheated. So why should he not cheat as well? He proceeded to infuse a small amount of Saint Energy into it, speeding up the rate of the Dragon Silencing Seal as it grew larger. After he resisted the clash of their Heavenly Skill Images, the seal had already appeared out of thin air.
A purplish red light flashed across quickly, Zhou Weiqing could already see the emergence of the purplish red whirlpool on top of his head. He chuckled to himself, 'Hehe, this is a small matter. I'll just stop you from using the Consolidated and Storing skills temporarily and we'll see how you're going to continue this battle with me!'
However, just as the purplish red light appeared, Meng Xing's dragon claws suddenly pointed towards Zhou Weiqing as a black light also flashed across quickly. He failed to dodge this.
The two lights hit the two masters almost at the same time. Meng Xing's entire body instantly trembled and her entire legendary armor set vanished without a trace. Zhou Weiqing, who was on the other side, did not have it easy too. He suddenly found that he had lost all contact with his Ringless Ground Purging Set. Even though the equipment set was still attached to his body, all of the boost effects had completely disappeared. Moreover, it seemed like he was unable to even summon his own techniques now.
It could not be a coincidence, could it?
At this moment, both of them were completely taken aback. Staring at each other, a trace of peculiarity could be seen in both their eyes.
Even though there were some differences in the techniques that they had just cast, the effect turned out to be so similar. In the end, both had aimed to temporarily seal the other party's Consolidated and Storing skills.
The skill that Meng Xing cast was much faster than Zhou Weiqing's Dragon Silencing Seal. However, his skill could be cast multiple times in a row. It would be very hard to decide which technique was better.
Since he had lost contact with his Ringless Ground Purging Set, Zhou Weiqing decided to just dispel them. Puzzled, he stared at Meng Xing, "What's your technique called? Don't you need to charge this powerful technique before you use it?"
She scoffed coldly, "Why should I tell you?"
He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "It's fine with me if you don't want to tell me. However, this is only the beginning," As he was saying that, he used his right foot to stomp on the ground. In a flash, he charged towards Meng Xing. Coincidentally enough, perhaps great minds really did think alike, she also stormed out and dashed towards him as he was charging towards her.
In fact, the two of them had the exact same idea at the moment. Both of them had no idea how long the other party's sealing technique would last. If the other party was set free first, then he or she would regain their Consolidated and Storing skills. When this happened, they would definitely be in a disadvantageous situation. Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to strike first to gain the upper hand They would have to use this window of opportunity to crush their opponent.
Without the boost from their legendary armor suits, be it their speed or energy, both had significantly decreased compared to earlier. However, their usage of Heavenly Energy did not slow down at all.
Meng Xing was much faster after all. With a wave of her hand, she headed straight for Zhou Weiqing's head.
He could no longer use his skills. Even the Six Ultimate Godly Light skill had already been destroyed by her. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face as he faced her claws.
Zhou Weiqing did not bother dodging at all as he threw both his hands out. It seemed like his hands were headed towards Meng Xing's shoulders, but in truth, his hands were aimed slightly lower.
A straight line was always faster than a curved line. For this reason, he managed to grab on to her first.
"YOU… FILTHY!" Boiling in wrath, Meng Xing kicked up a leg that was aimed towards his lower abdomen. Both of them were demonstrating the Sixth Jewel Tier energy and although their speeds were much slower than before, the fight was still pretty fast.
Zhou Weiqing still did not shy away from her attack. His right leg suddenly lifted from the ground before it met with Meng Xing's kick halfway.
A smirk crept up onto a corner of her mouth as she thought to herself, 'Before this when you still had the Ringless Ground Purging Set, my power was indeed much inferior to yours. But now that you no longer have that, how is your energy supposed to win against my Dual Physical Jewels?'
A muffled thud could be heard as both legs collided once again. A pang of stabbing pain spread throughout Meng Xing's body all at once. The right leg that was just relieved from the tingling numbness earlier was so painful that it prompted her to retreat in a flash.
Yes, she lost again. She could clearly feel that not only was Zhou Weiqing's right leg far more powerful than hers, it was also extremely sturdy and hard. It felt like she had just kicked an iron pillar. Even though she did not suffer from any fracture, this action had still injured her.
How was this possible?
However, Zhou Weiqing did not grant Meng Xing much time to contemplate any further. Now that he had succeeded in the kick, his right leg suddenly stomped on the ground furiously. Like a hungry tiger, he pounced towards her in a rush. If she really did get pounced on in such a manner, hehe, even Shangguan Xue'er was not spared last time. Let alone Meng Xing who was only using the Sixth Jewel cultivation. Zhou Weiqing's Ground Technique was extremely remarkable.
Meng Xing's eyes suddenly turned gloomy. Until a second before, she had not regarded Zhou Weiqing as a real opponent. After all, even if she could only use Sixth Jewel Tier's cultivation base, she was still a powerful presence at the Heavenly King-tier and above. Be it her combat experience or the mastery of her Heavenly Energy, she should be a lot more superior than he was.
Still, it had proven been with facts that this fella was much harder to deal with than she had initially thought. There must be something peculiar about his right leg.
Under such circumstances, Meng Xing's real capability suddenly erupted.
In the face of Zhou Weiqing's attack, when she was flying back from the kick, her left leg suddenly jolted out and slammed towards the ground. With the help of the energy from the rebound, she managed to dodge his pounce as her entire body spun rapidly in the air. At the same time, her right palm was stretched out to the back of his neck before she clawed at it. Meanwhile, she crossed her left leg at lightning speed and it was placed directly at his waist. With a twist of her body and a hook from her heel, her left leg was now locked around his waist. It allowed her to hang from his back.
What amazing flexibility!
Zhou Weiqing lowered his head abruptly to evade Meng Xing's direct attack but unfortunately, she had gotten too close to him.
Apparently, it was not easy to throw her off him. In the next second, she had already launched her attack. Throwing her own body downwards, she brazenly threw Zhou Weiqing's body in the opposite direction. At the same time, both of her hands grabbed onto his shirt from the back before she slammed him directly onto the ground.
As a matter of fact, he should be feeling fortunate as Meng Xing's leg was still tingling with numbness. Otherwise, he would not be thrown on the floor in such a simple manner.
Crash!
Zhou Weiqing was slammed onto the ground in a tenacious manner. It was so rough that he became confused and disoriented. His entire body was thrown forward more than 10 meters before it finally came to a stop.
Meng Xing did not continue to pursue him as waves of pain were throbbing constantly in her right leg. She had no other choice but to stop as she placed both of her hands on her right leg before infusing rays of faint blue light into it to relieve the pain in her leg.
'How can his bones possibly be tougher than mine. After all, I'm…'
As she watched Zhou Weiqing who was thrown off and finally beaten for the first time in today's battle, question marks slowly began to appear in her eyes. His combat ability was much, much stronger than she had imagined. She was very sure that even a Heavenly Jewel Master who was at the Sixth Jewel cultivation base would not be able to win against him. How many secrets did this guy hold? As a God Tier Master, unlike her, he actually used some special methods to strengthen his cultivation base. But how could he possibly possess such powerful combat experience?
Zhou Weiqing crept up from his spot. With his body's sturdiness, this fall naturally did not hurt him. Still, he felt dismayed. After all, when it came to close combat ability, he was still a lot inferior to those who possessed the flexibility affinity. Didn't Fei'er use the same method to bully him last time, too? Why was there another one now?
Both of them were lost in their thoughts. Yet, none of them put their guards down. One was rubbing her leg while the other one was rapidly recovering his Heavenly Energy. At this moment, both of them wished the sealing skills placed on them by the other party would quickly dispel so that they could put on their legendary armor suit again.
However, reality did not always turn out the way one wished it did. The entire ordeal only took a little more than ten seconds. The sealing skills were still far from its completion time.
Zhou Weiqing's eyes rotated sharply before a proud smirk slowly crept up to his eyes. He stood in the same spot as he turned his right hand. A longbow suddenly appeared in his grasp. It was not a Consolidated Equipment. Instead, it was a genuine longbow that was made completely of Black Dawn wood.
When he pulled the bowstring, three long arrows almost instantaneously appeared on the bowstring that was arched like a full moon. Along with a harsh blast, the three long arrows were shot directly at Meng Xing like lightning.
In such a short distance, even if she were to use her Heavenly King cultivation base, she would still be unlikely to dodge the attack.
In desperation, she held out both of her palms at the same time. Rich, vigorous Heavenly Energy burst out all at once. It formed a round shield and successfully blocked the three arrows.
Actually, these three arrows were merely a probe. Instead of marching forward, Zhou Weiqing chose to retreat. While he was retreating rapidly, a barrage of arrows shot out like lightning. Some of them were shot towards the sky, some were in straight lines while some were arched. Ear-splitting and wind-piercing sound kept resonating from the rain of the Rapid Fire Arrows in the air. Particularly the arrows that were occasionally shot out with his Twisting Bowstring Effect. Because the arrows had been infused with his brutal Heavenly Energy, the arrows had a tyrannical destruction energy.
Within the span of a few breaths, Meng Xing could no longer defend against them anymore.
It had never crossed her mind that Zhou Weiqing would still have such tricks hidden up his sleeve. His archery skill could only be described as miraculous and divine. No matter where the arrows were directed, they would eventually make their ways towards her. Not only that, they usually came from her blind-spot as well. Apart from that, the arrows were also infused with his Heavenly Energy. The Heavenly Energy that they were using was at the Sixth Jewel Tier. In order to defend against such a dense piercing technique, she would have to consume more Heavenly Energy. Because Zhou Weiqing's arrows were too densely packed, she did not even have the opportunity to cast her Heavenly Dao Energy to absorb the Atmospheric Energy to replenish her body.
'This bastard! ' Meng Xing yelled angrily in her heart. Still, there was nothing else that she could do.
"You're the one who forced me!" She shouted out loudly. All of a sudden, a strong, rich Blackness aura erupted from her body. Intense Darkness Energy suddenly rose up without warning. It formed a black gigantic light ball in the air. Zhou Weiqing's arrows that arrived in quick succession vanished without a trace the moment it entered the black light ball. The arrows instantly eroded away.
