Chapter 427 - West Barren Imperial Court
Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang had a shock as the Golden-Winged Peng they were sitting on suddenly increased its speed; its speed was so fast that the air pressure from its flight forced firmly forced two Martial Heavenly Master onto its back.
All in a sudden, the air around them felt like a solid wall slamming into them with the power of a Qi Practitioner's earnest attack.
Luckily, the two Martial Heavenly Masters possessed strong bodies, or their new legs would have been crushed again. After all, their new legs were not as tempered as their original ones. It wouldn't come as a surprise if their new legs were destroyed in the process.
The rushing wind ripped into their skin and continued to tear into their muscles and blood vessels.
The two gritted their teeth as they struggled to resist the pain. They were both shocked at the sheer speed of the Golden-Winged Pengs.
“Hmm? This brat can run quite fast as well.”
Peng Jingyi suddenly laughed and said, "Alright then, let's see who is faster! You or the Kun Peng Celestial Race!"
The two Golden-Winged Peng increased up their speed once again much to the two Martial Heavenly Masters' dismay. However, they did not say anything other than warning them not to flying above the celestial temples all over in West Barren.
At their breakneck speed, he two Pengs flew over mountains and dashed across the skies like ghostly blurs.
In no time, the immense air pressure from the two Pengs' high-speed flight had finally crushed the two Martial Heavenly Masters' limbs and body, leaving only their skeleton behind. Tiny stress fractures even started to appear on their skeletons.
Afraid of completely torn apart by the pressure, they quickly lowered their bodies to sink into the Pengs' feathers, using their hair as tethers to grip onto the back of the two Pengs so that they don't fall off.
And right in front of them, Zhong Yue pushed himself to the limit, flapping his wings shrouded in fire quickly as he flew away to escape from his pursuers.
Similar to the two Martial Heavenly Masters, the pressure brought up by the chase also tore his skin apart and almost ground his muscles into dust. Zhong Yue's Immortal Body technique then shone brightly again.
His torn skin continued regenerating, and his muscles grew back in seconds. He then proceeded to maintain this high speed without fearing that the pressure could kill him.
After ascending into the Heavenly Dharma level, whether it be his body or energy, they had all been enhanced to another level, and throughout the time he robbed the treasures of the many celestial races, he had consumed various precious medicinal herbs. As a result, there was still some medicinal essence that he failed to absorb the first time. And now, this residual energy was not only helping with stabilizing his level, but it also provided him with extra energy to spend.
Hong long——-
Suddenly, a huge mountain appeared right in front of him after turning a corner. Unable to stop in time, Zhong Yue rammed into the mountain, opening a huge human-shaped hole in it.
Blood spurted out of Zhong Yue's mouth as he suffered some internal injuries, but he did not flinch or stop at all as he continued flying at the same speed.
Behind him, Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu also failed to react in time as well. With no options left, they also crashed into the mountains and left behind two even larger holes.
Just like Zhong Yue, they suffered internal injuries as well.
Even as magnate Qi Practitioners that could crush a mountain with a punch or even shatter it into dust, they still could not walk away unscarred after charging into a mountain at such high speed.
If one jumped into the water from a very high altitude, it would be akin to falling into solid ground. And here, they had slammed into actual rock.
Thus, the pressure they suffered was even stronger, so strong that even the magnate Qi Practitioners were unable to withstand it.
Suddenly, more and more mountains appeared in front of them. One after another, Zhong Yue and his pursuers flew past the mountains while not losing an ounce of speed, deftly evading their obstacles one after another.
"This is the largest canyon in West Barren, you must be careful," said the terrified Xia Zhongguang.
He then said again, "There are even godly mountains in this canyon, these are mountains created by the gods, each are filled with godly level totem carvings that granted them a strength that no ordinary man could not break. If we crash into one of these mountains, we will be very lucky to only suffer heavy injuries."
Before he was done talking, Zhong Yue, who was at the front, was suddenly sucked away by a mountain. As soon as Zhong Yue was sucked onto the mountain, the mountain began to glow with a bright luminescence as the totem carvings around the mountain lit up – it was a godly mountain!
Peng peng——-
Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu couldn't stop in time, and they too were sucked onto the mountain.
Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang were temporary knocked out of their senses when the two Pengs landed on the mountain on their backs.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue opened up his eyes, and as the first person to regain his senses, he quickly shook off the mysterious power of the mountain before taking off into the skies again.
Right behind him were the two Golden Winged Pengs that were also sucked towards the godly mountain. These two, however, immediately reacted in time and chased after Zhong Yue thanks to their unusually strong body compared to the other celestial races' Qi Practitioners.
The two Pengs then opened up their mouth and inhaled a huge volume of air that sucked everything in front of them toward their mouths, including Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue then spun around like a corkscrew as he flew away to penetrate the air resistance and unleashed true sunfire with his wings towards Peng Jinyi's and Peng Qianqiu's mouths, causing them to choke from the fire.
“Brothers, are there any godly mountains around here?”
Peng Qianqiu then shouted, “Can you please tell us earlier?”
"This canyon was once the West Barren's imperial court, the place where the celestial emperor once stayed, so there are a lot of godly mountains here," replied Xia Zhongjin.
Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang looked ahead to check if there were any other godly mountains nearby, but they couldn't see anything as the two Pengs were flying far too quickly for them to even register their surroundings. They then shouted immediately, "Slow down! We can't see anything at all."
Peng peng——-
Immediately after that, the Pengs slammed onto another godly mountain, and as they fell down, they saw Zhong Yue flying up into the air and escaping again.
The two Pengs then quickly stood back on their feet and beat their wings to continue their pursuit. As they chased him, they swung their wings toward him and shot out golden feathers that turned into golden swords charging straight Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue, however, suddenly dipped to fly close to the ground. He rammed into the trees as he evaded the golden feathery swords.
He then increased his speed by another notch and lit up the trees with his fiery wings, causing them to explode.
As the two Pengs charged into the fire, they suddenly rammed into another godly mountain and crashed into the ground again.
“Damn it!”
As hey got up and suppressed their injuries, they shouted in frustration when they saw Zhong Yue dodge this godly mountain and increase the distance between them.
"How did he know this was a godly mountain!?"
Xia Zhongguang thought for a moment, and he replied, "He must have checked the surroundings with his skill first. Whenever he discovers a godly mountain, he would intentionally lure us here. He knew the location of the godly mountains beforehand, and you don't, which is why you're always crashing into them."
"Don't worry, we are about to get out of this place soon. As long as we get out, there will be no more godly mountains to worry about."
The two Pengs then increased their speed and checked their surroundings before chasing after Zhong Yue again.
Moments later, they finally made it out of the canyon, but before they were able to feel happy, Zhong Yue had already flown right back into the canyon.
“Shit!”
"He is trying to stall, we will split up and get him!" shouted Peng Qianqiu.
Peng Jinyi nodded, and the both of them split up. One chased after Zhong Yue while one took another way to cut Zhong Yue off.
As they re-entered the canyon, Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang suddenly flew up from the back of the two Pengs and landed on a mountain's summit.
The mountains that they landed on were the tallest among the ones in the canyon. They stood atop their vantage point and scanned the surroundings to locate Zhong Yue. Once they found him, they would contact Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu so that they could intercept Zhong Yue.
Most likely due to the strategic location of these two mountains, Zhong Yue had actually flown past them. The two Martial Heavenly Masters attacked him themselves to slow him down.
With the help of the two Martial Heavenly Masters, the two Golden Wing Pengs were almost able to catch up to Zhong Yue.
However, in a split second, Peng Qianqiu saw another Peng Jinyi flying towards him, and before he could react in time, Zhong Yue had already slipped past their fingers.
This brat is heading toward me.
Suddenly, Xia Zhongjin realized that Zhong Yue was flying towards him. Killing intent immediately rose up within him, and he said, "Let me show you how you will die."
Turned into the golden crow, Zhong Yue headed straight to the mountain that Xia Zhongjin was standing on, and Xia Zhongjin swung his head and attacked Zhong Yue with his hair.
All in a sudden, Zhong Yue suddenly turned into his Fu Xi form and used his avatar. His body enlarged, and as a bell sound rang out, a translucent bell appeared around him and fended off Xia Zhongjin's attack.
Ding ding ding——-
The countless strand of Xia Zhongjin's hair hit the bell, but nothing happened.
“【Celestial Demon Yi】!”
Zhong Yue charged forward, pushed his hands toward Xia Zhongjin, who smirked and said, "Do you have a death wish?"
Ka-cha——-
As soon as their hands came in contact, Xia Zhongjin immediately realized that only bones remained of his body; his flesh had been ripped apart previously during the chase. In an instant, his bones were crushed, and all he could do was look at Zhong Yue charging toward him without being able to do anything at all.
