Rise Of Humanity Chapter 538 - Lion Mount

Chapter 538 - Lion Mount

“True victor, true victor…” Another voice came up from behind Qiu Qingshan.

Feng Wuji miraculously appeared behind Qiu Qingshan, he was looking at the bright moon mirror as he said casually, “I've had my eyes on the East Barren for a very long time, and it is finally falling into my hands … Hehe, Zhong Yue, I could deceive Feng Shang, of course I can do that to you as well. You, you will die with s.h.i.+ Buyi while I sit back and watch the two of you crash into one another. And in the end, I will be the new monster overlord, the ruler of all monsters. The East Barren will be mine to command!”

Qiu Qingshan seemed nonchalant to Feng Wuji's arrival, as if he knew the latter would come. Qiu Qingshan laughed and said, “As soon as I saw s.h.i.+ Buyi's joy at hearing that Long Yue was breaking through to the next level, I knew that my time had come. s.h.i.+ Buyi had been waiting for Long Yue's eye for many years. With Long Yue becoming a True Spirit magnate, s.h.i.+ Buyi won't be able to hold himself back anymore.

“Long Yue was Zhong Yue's incarnation, he was waiting for an opportunity to kill that lion as well, surely he wouldn't waste such a good chance. They both thought they were smart, but they forgot about the oriole lying in wait.”

“And this oriole in the dark... is me.” Feng Wuji smiled and said, “s.h.i.+ Buyi's name is just like what it means, being a teacher isn't easy. None of the disciples he has taken until now were loyal to him, shame on him. However, he would suspect Lang Qingyun, he would suspect Long Yue, but he would never suspect Qiu Qingshan, his only disciple that risked death for him. The last time he was struck hard by Feng Shang, when everyone left his side, only Qiu Qingshan risked his life to save him. It was precisely because of this that Qiu Qingshan was able to walk into his heart and become his only trusted subordinate.”

“Furthermore, Lang Qingyun was sent to die on the insect planet by him, his suspicions on me lessened with the spy of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race being removed. Qiu Qingshan continued and said, “He took me as his most trusted subordinate, placing me in the perfect position to carry out my plan.”

Feng Wuji smiled gently, he said, “I also poured in some efforts to ensure Lang Qingyun's death. Once he is dead, s.h.i.+ Buyi would lower his guards toward you.”

He was smiling gently like a refined scholar while Qiu Qingshan smiled like a simple and honest commoner. But oddly enough, their smiles were miraculously similar, the tips of their mouths were curled up in the same angle.

“Qingshan, s.h.i.+ Buyi won't last much longer. Go and inform the four elders, Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang were s.h.i.+ Buyi's four most loyal subordinates, they will surely embrace you, s.h.i.+ Buyi's most trusted disciple, as the new monster lord after his death.”

Feng Wuji said placidly, “They are too loyal to s.h.i.+ Buyi. Once they see Long Yue, Gu Hongzi and Zhong Yue gathered up together in killing s.h.i.+ Buyi, they wouldn't accept Long Yue and Gu Hongzi to be the new East Barren monster overlord anymore. Even the lords wouldn't support Long Yue as well. Thus, that leaves you as the only candidate to be the next monster overlord. Don't worry, the other monster lords wouldn't be of your match.”

Qiu Qingshan stretched his body, he kept the mirror and left, he was smiling as he said, “To inform the four elders, I will to force some tears out again to earn their trusts. I'll be going now then. You can go and send Gu Hongzi and the Zhong Yue to the afterlife!”

Rays flashed across Feng Wuji's eyes, he didn't leave immediately but sat down quietly instead. He didn't look at the battle but took out a scroll to look at.

The scroll was inscribed with marvelous arts, totem patterns filled to the corner of the scroll — it was the【Monster G.o.d Ming King Art】!

This【Monster G.o.d Ming King Art】was not even taught to Qiu Qingshan and Lang Qingyun, and yet, Feng Wuji had gotten his hands on it!

How overbearing … No wonder this big lion is so strong…

Feng Wuji read it carefully, he looked at the arts and praised while smiling, “Shame, no matter how hard you tried to stop it, the cultivation technique was still leaked. Not only did Zhong Yue learn it, but Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei was cultivating it as well. It was hard to get it from Long Yue but it wasn't as much trouble to acquire it from Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei.”

He studied it and simulated the cultivation technique in his mind, calculating its strengths and weaknesses. Moments later, he laughed and said, “Soon, soon! s.h.i.+ Buyi is dying, the longer he gets entangled in a battle, the greater more the flaw of the【Monster G.o.d Ming King Art】would damage his mortal body. Even if you are able to withstand it to the end, it won't be Zhong Yue or Gu Hongzi that kills you, but you yourself!”

Meanwhile, the situation of the battle grew even more intense. s.h.i.+ Buyi would roar from time to time, and each roar was able to shudder the mountains and tremble the sky. He was entangled in the battle with Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Gu Hongi.

The weapons they wielded were fully unleashed in power, the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons were able to push back the divine weapons one time after another. Even Zhong Yue who cultivated the Immortal Body was continuously struck until wounds crawled all over his battered body.

Gu Hongzi's situation was even worse; his legs were nearly completely detached from his body. And Long Yue was on the brink of death, his arms were broken and not a single part of his body was fully intact.

The three of them clashed with the lion, each exchange of bout was done even harder and intense.

All of a sudden, flash of rays burst out from Zhong Yue's eyes and shot toward s.h.i.+ Buyi and a swirling action. They were like two dragons, one white like the snow and the other darker than black, they were moving around s.h.i.+ Buyi's mortal body and would strike as long as there was an opening in the lion monster's stance.

Zhong Yue's divine third eye was opened up wide, the G.o.dly ray brimmed in his eye waiting to give s.h.i.+ Buyi a killing blow.

Furthermore, he was also calculating the next possible opening in s.h.i.+ Buyi's stance.

The Golden Peng Sword had been lashed into the sky, it was flitting through the air like a flash of lightning, clas.h.i.+ng with the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons numerous times. Zhong Yue's eight arms were casting the【Yin Yang Celestial Demon Style】as he engaged with s.h.i.+ Buyi in close-quarter fast-paced frontal combat. He went head on with the monster overlord, withstanding the strikes with his Immortal Body so Gu Hongzi and Long Yue could be spared from the brunt of the onslaught.

At this point in time, s.h.i.+ Buyi's nine heads the divine eyes bleeding continuously, the nine Ming King divine eye were nearly crippled.

This was a fight of life and death and for him to use the Ming King divine eye so frequently placed a huge amount of pressure on him internally. His cultivation technique was incomplete, and continuing to recklessly cast the Ming King divine eye like this was bound to gravely threaten his life. If it weren't for the fact that his life was depending on the outcome of this battle, he wouldn't use it at all.

In addition Zhong Yue being able to spot the openings in his stance to relentless target his flaws, his Ming King divine eyes were further impaired, to a point where they nearly exploded.

The battle reached a point where the slightest mistake would cost them their lives. The only time they were able to stop was when either one of them died!

Zhong Yue moved his eight arms to his limit, the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】was fully imbued in his mortal body so every swing of his hands, and every flick of his fingers would carry an unstoppable momentum. He forcibly fought against the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons and was the most wounded among the three experts.

s.h.i.+ Buyi knew very well that Zhong Yue posed the biggest threat to him and thus target Zhong Yue the most.

On the side, Gu Hongzi wielded the serpent spear. Despite his power, he couldn't see through s.h.i.+ Buyi's openings and flaw. Thus, s.h.i.+ Buyi wasn't that much guarding on him.

Whereas for Long Yue, although he was already a True Spirit magnate, he was still the weakest of them all. But the two venomous fangs were too threatening, even s.h.i.+ Buyi had to guard against them.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue changed his attack, he suddenly bowed and with the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】as the altar, he himself was the wors.h.i.+pped object, he raised his blood essence to a new level. The sky above turned reddish in color and abruptly, he bowed down at s.h.i.+ Buyi.

s.h.i.+ Buyi roared loudly and mustered all of his strength, the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array slashed down and clashed with the【Wors.h.i.+pping of G.o.ds】.

The earth beneath them cracked and a huge rift opened up between them, the rocks crumbled and the stones were pulverized to dust as a huge valley was created just like that!

Zhong Yue m.u.f.fled a groan in pain, his eight arms were crushed and he fell backward. Just at the moment he clashed with s.h.i.+ Buyi, Gu Hongzi dashed over and thrust the serpent spear into s.h.i.+ Buyi's chest. Right in the middle through the muscles, s.h.i.+ Buyi instantly stopped the spear by controlling his muscles and clenched on it tightly.

“Argh!!!”

Gu Hongzi shouted loudly, he clenched the spear with two hands and pushed s.h.i.+ Buyi backward with all his might. Feathers appeared behind him and formed into a pair of wings that fluttered quickly as he tried to pierced through s.h.i.+ Buyi's body.

The monster overlord was spurting out blood from his mouth, they were shot out like arrows and perforated Gu Hongzi's mortal body.

Gu Hongzi's wings slashed forward like rolling wheels. In an instant, the two of them were covered in each other's blood.

s.h.i.+ Buyi opened his mouth wide and roared, Gu Hongzi was pushed back and fell to the ground.

s.h.i.+ Buyi held on the serpent spear in an attempt to pull it out. However, a Xiang Dragon dashed over and rammed right on the spear, s.h.i.+ Buyi spurted out another mouthful of blood. Just as the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons were going to be slashed down and kill Long Yue, the two venomous fangs flew over and caused the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons to give up on Long Yue so as to block the venomous fangs.

Long Yue who turned into the Xiang Dragon pushed forward and suddenly, the tip of the serpent spear pierced through to the back of s.h.i.+ Buyi!

s.h.i.+ Buyi staggered as he moved, just right at that instant, the dragon-like Yin Yang Qi seized the chance and soared around s.h.i.+ Buyi's mortal body. They clawed and swung their tails on his muscles, destroying one part of his body after another.

s.h.i.+ Buyi's flaw wasn't on a fixed point, it was the point where his blood essence was concentrate, and that point would move around his body. In order to injure him gravely, they would to find the flaw and attack it.

Zhong Yue's Yin Yang Qi was exactly striking on the point where his flaws were at.

s.h.i.+ Buyi's mortal body was stunned, cracks came within his body and blood spurted out of the wounds like a fountain.

Meanwhile, Feng Wuji suddenly laughed in a little pavilion located a few thousand miles away. He stood up and flew toward the battlefield while mumbling, “It's time. s.h.i.+ Buyi is going to die by his own hands! And this Zhong Yue and Gu Hongzi are also on the verge of dying as well, it won't take much to kill them now.”

Although he seemed to be flying slowly, he was actually fast like the lightning traveling toward the battlefield, he was mumbling in a gentle smile, “Biggest winner, this is exactly what I call the biggest winner…”

At the moment s.h.i.+ Buyi's mortal body was stunned, Zhong Yue dashed to the front of Long Yue. At the same time, Long Yue clawed down the Ming King divine eye on his forehead while Zhong Yue cleaved open s.h.i.+ Buyi's forehead and plucked out the Ming King divine eye from him.

In Zhong Yue's light wheels, an insect magnate flew into s.h.i.+ Buyi's forehead and entered his psyche ocean, crawling all over s.h.i.+ Buyi's Yuan Shen and entrenching itself within.

Then, Long Yue flicked his finger and sent his Ming King divine eye to replace on s.h.i.+ Buyi's missing Ming King divine eye.

s.h.i.+ Buyi's blood essence was disrupted, his mortal body and Yuan Shen were on the verge of collapse. But suddenly as his Ming King divine eye been replaced by Long Yue's, his disrupted blood essence regained its balance and his wounds stop worsening.

“You're trying to control me? s.h.i.+ Buyi was shocked and shouted in rage, he stared at Zhong Yue with a pair of eyes filled in killing intent. The monster overlord laughed in anger and said, “Zhong Yue, you dare to humiliate me…”

With a change of thought, Zhong Yue ordered the insect magnate to start tearing apart s.h.i.+ Buyi's Yuan Shen, causing the lion monster to roll on the ground in the most unbearable pain he ever felt.

“s.h.i.+ Buyi, I'm lacking a mount. Zhong Yue was coughing blood out from his mouth as he said, “From now on, you will be my lion mount.”

Whoa, what the heck? s.h.i.+ Buyi as Zhong Yue's mount!
