Chapter 431 - One on One

Kun Lun Realm.

Zhong Yue dashed across the skies quickly and charged right into the Kun Lun World, startling the animals as well as some of its Qi Practitioners.

In a cave, a pegasus heard the thunderous noise in the sky, and when it looked up, it saw only two golden rays. With his vision blocked, the pegasus quickly flew up into the air and looked toward the golden ray. He saw the rays were chasing after something that looked like a fiery red sun. He then transformed into a Qi Practitioner with a horse-head and thought in shock, What are these? Their speeds are no slower than a phoenix, if not faster! Such incredible speed!

In another cave, a 1000-foot tall Imminent Deity level Qi Practitioner looked at Zhong Yue and the two Pengs, and he shouted,

"Kun Peng Celestial Race and the three-legged golden crow? When did Kun Lun have another two races? Kua Fushan, Kua Fushan! Come and take a look at the sun!

"

After keeping Qiu Jin'er in his secret realm to ensure her safety, Zhong Yue flew at such a high speed that his body slowly crumbled. His muscles were torn apart, and his organs felt like as if they had been constantly battered. If it weren't for his Immortal Body Art, he would have already been reduced to dust in mid-air long ago.

And although Qiu Jin'er was very powerful in her own right, having also cultivated the Immortal Body Art, she had yet to reach Zhong Yue's level. Thus, Zhong Yue chose to keep her in his secret realm.

Right behind him, Peng Jinyi's and Peng Qianqiu's speed was even more alarming. Their bodies enlarged as they turned into their Kun Peng forms that possessed terrifying speed.

Even after casting out his avatar, bit by bit, the two pursuers were closing in on Zhong Yue, and the gap only further shrunk after his pursuers reverted to their original forms.

Just when they were about to catch up with Zhong Yue, he suddenly dove toward the bottom where there was only an ocean that was far larger than the Eastern Sea.

Boom——

Zhong Yue dove into the sea, immediately transforming into a 100-foot golden dragon and quickly swimming away.

"How dare you travel in the water in front of the Kun Peng Celestial Race?

"

The two Pengs charged straight into the water, creating waves that submerged the surrounding celestial islands in the water.

Right after that, two green fish with black backs jumped out and back into the water again as they dove right into the ocean.

After a moment, when the two Kuns were about to catch up with him again, he quickly turned into a huge catfish with slippery dragon scales. He then burrowed into the sand underneath the ocean to continue fleeing.

As the two Kuns reached Zhong Yue's previous position, they transformed into giants, hurled their fists on the ground and shattered everything within their immediate vicinity.

The shockwaves propagated through the ground and Zhong Yue became injured from the force. The shockwaves came in seemingly never-ending waves, and Zhong Yue was forced to take the form of the Huo Xiao Celestial Race to descend further into the mantle, diving into the magma to escape the effects of their attacks.

He slithered through the lava for 1000 miles, and suddenly, he turned into the form of the Gou She Celestial Race. He dug out from the rocks and flew into the skies again, turning into three-legged golden crow again as he flew away.

When the two pursuers finally burst up from beneath the ocean and into the skies again, they were shocked at seeing the number of forms that Zhong Yue was able to take.

“Seriously, what race is he from?”

Peng Qianqiu murmured, “A normal human can’t possibly shift into so many forms.”

“Just get him!”

Peng Jinyi turned into the Peng form again, and as he chased after Zhong Yue, he replied,

"Even if he turns into a flower or whatever, he will not be able to escape from our【Sky Searching Art】!

"

The duo continued to fly at their breakneck speed, and it didn't take long before they caught up with Zhong Yue again. Zhong Yue was then about to dive back into the ground, but just he was about to burrow beneath it, Peng Jinyi roared and pressed his palms onto the ground,

deploying totem carvings that increased its hardness to prevent Zhong Yue breaking the ground's surface.

It was too late for Zhong Yue to stop, and he crashed into the ground, concussing himself from the sheer force of impact.

Boom boom——-

Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu landed on the ground and surrounded him, closing off any possible paths of escape.

Zhong Yue then got up, reverting to his original human form while laughing,

"Senior martial brothers of the Kun Peng Race, we should all be familiar with each other by now, so why do you all want to kill me so badly?

"

"Hmph, brat, hand over the Divine Wing Saber, and we will eat you straight away without torturing you. If you don't hand it over, we will torment you to death!

" replied Peng Jinyi.

Zhong Yue stood up straight and replied,

"Hmph, for the famous Kun Peng Celestial Race to send out two magnates for a lowly Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner such as myself ... I thought that the honorable Kun Peng Celestial Race was a race that dared to fight head-on against the dragons. If you still have any modicum of that pride, then fight me one on one. If I lose, I will gladly hand my life over to you!

"

Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu looked at each other, and the former said,

"Alright, let's give him the death he wants! I will kill him myself, Qianqiu, just stand aside and stop this brat from running

away!

"

Peng Qianqiu then walked away and stopped at the summit of a nearby mountain. He stood on one leg and proclaimed,

"With me here, he has nowhere to go!

"

With a serious expression, Zhong Yue turned into his Fu Xi true form, opened up his divine eye and said, “Come on!”

Without a word, Peng Jinyi turned into a Peng-headed celestial being with golden wings and swung his wings made of sword feathers toward Zhong Yue.

This attack was particularly fearsome as each of the feathers was equivalent to a Golden Peng Sword. Before the attack landed, the mountain behind him was already cut in half!

However, before the attack landed on Zhong Yue, a semi-transparent bell appeared around him to fend off Peng Jinyi's attack, but his bell was instead severed in half!

“【Celestial Demon Yi】!”

The【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】appeared around Zhong Yue, and he pushed his palms toward Peng Jinyi's attack, fending it off, but at the same time, being pushed back from the force of the collision.

But it wasn't so simple to stop Peng Jinyi's attack. His attack continued to cut into Zhong Yue's Tai Chi Art, but its power was being absorbed by the Tai Chi Art as well.

“Seems like you only know this move?”

Peng Jinyi laughed as he continued to send a rapid barrage of attacks with his wings at Zhong Yue!

Dang dang dang——

Each time his Shao Hao Bell was sliced apart by Peng Jinyi, Zhong Yue would quickly visualize it again while casting the【Celestial Demon Yi】to defend himself.

“Die!”

Peng Jinyi closed in on Zhong Yue again, rained down attacks on Zhong Yue with his wings, and at the same time, he hurled his fist toward Zhong Yue.

The punch evoked a roaring pitch-black ocean; Peng Jinyi visualized the wildest and most violent rogue waves of the oceans in the Celestial Wood Star as he launched out his fist!

When compared with the skills in the Ancestral Star, this attack was the quintessence of ruthlessness, cruelty, and violence. It was as if the rampaging ocean in Celestial Wood Star had appeared on the Ancestral Star itself!

Immediately, Zhong Yue's calm expression faltered, and he suddenly shouted, causing his【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】to spin quickly. One by one, countless gods appeared around the Tai Chi Art and prayed toward Zhong Yue. They each had a different appearance, aura, presence, but they all looked real.

“Prayers of the million gods!”

Zhong Yue shouted and bowed toward the front and hurled his fist back at Peng Jinyi.

Hong long——-

A loud explosion rang out, and as Zhong Yue's fish came in contact with Peng Jinyi's, the rogue waves rolled back toward Peng Jinyi, and his attack was stopped.

Blood gushed out from Zhong Yue's mouth, and one of Peng Jinyi's feathers barely missed Zhong Yue's chest but still managed to leave a deep wound on it.

Peng Jinyi then charged forward again and was shocked when light wheels appeared behind Zhong Yue's head all of a sudden while Qiu Jin'er charged out with the Golden Peng Sword as she cut toward Peng Jiny's wings.

Support RoH in GravityTales~~!

However, her attack was quickly stopped by Peng Jinyi's wings, and at the same time, Zhong Yue bowed toward the front and punched toward Peng Jinyi once again.

This time, his punch, after being amplified by the prayers of the million gods, was even stronger than before as it landed right at the center of Peng Jinyi's chest.

Peng Jinyi's chest sunken immediately under the power of Zhong Yue's attack, and as Zhong Yue struck him, Qiu Jin'er raised her sword and stabbed towards Peng Jinyi's head.

“Brat, I thought you said one on one?” shouted Peng Qianqiu immediately as he pounced towards Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er.

Zhong Yue bowed again, attacked Peng Jinyi and sent Peng Jinyi flying and crashing into a mountain.

He then turned around and said to Peng Qianqiu,

"I guess you thought that I wouldn't lie then.

"

With an angry roar, Peng Qianqiu turned into the Golden-Winged Peng, stretched out his incredibly huge wings and clashed with Zhong Yue's attack which was amplified by the prayers.

Immediately, they both struck each other away while Qiu Jin'er who was standing on Zhong Yue's shoulder suddenly jumped onto Peng Qianqiu's wings and hacked at them.

Upon being struck by Qiu Jin’er, Peng Qianqiu flapped his wings and hurled Qiu Jin’er away.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue who was pushed back once again turned into the golden crow, and before Qiu Jin'er crashed into something, Zhong Yue quickly pulled her back into his secret realm.

As soon as Qiu Jin'er was back in his secret realm, Zhong Yue instantly flapped his wings and flew away.

When Peng Qianqiu wanted to chase after them, he felt an immense pain coming from his wings, and he had no choice but to return to the ground. At the same time, Peng Jinyi rushed out from the mountain he crashed into, and as blood dripped down from his head, he felt the pain coming from his wings as well when he tried to move his wings.

Frustration and anger overwhelmed the two of them immediately, and they all cursed angrily,

"This brat talked about rules with us, but it was also him that broke the rules! How dare he hides a small girl in his secret realm and ambush us with her!

"

"Thank god that we did not suffer any heavy injuries. He will not escape again when we recover from our injuries!

"
