Chapter 181 - Head To The Grey Mystery Nation
As the battle between Murong Qincheng and Wei Renjie ended, the others were perfectly agitated and began their own battles, including Qi Shaofeng.
What Qi Shaofeng had been using was a rare pair of branch weapon called Waning Moon. With only one move, his opponent who was a peak-level late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist was sent flying directly into the air. A ten-meter long, half a zhang deep, arc-shaped cut appeared on the ground between them.
Lin Yue couldn’t help but whisper to Ye Chen, “Don’t let Qi Shaofeng’s nice and gentle look confuse you. In fact, he would never hesitate in launching a deadly attack.”
Ye Chen nodded. Some people looked as nice and friendly as a sheep, yet, they were actually as fierce as a wolf. This kind of people usually seemed nothing special but once they were enraged and exhibited their real powers, they could be even more terrifying than genuine wolves.
Putting the pair of Waning Moon back, Qi Shaofeng raised his head, looked at the sky, then grinned and said, “My dear friends, the party is over. Feel free to hang around this place for as long as you like. All of your expenses will be covered by me. I believe I can surely afford that.”
“Ah, the delicacies in this Three Rivers City is quite famous. I have been drooling over it for a long time! Since our dear brother Qi is so generous, I’ll probably take this opportunity and try those famous delicacies!”
“Hehe, if you want to taste some Three Rivers City’s authentic delicacies, you’d have to go to those nice boat-hotels!”
Most of these young martial artists were energetic and vigorous young men. None of them was a virgin anymore. The delicacies served by those boat-hotels was merely a perfect excuse and a nice side dish. Their real interests were in those beautiful and young girls who worked on those boat-hotels as entourage. Although these young men were clearly aware of each other’s thoughts, none of them could say it out loud since Murong Qingcheng and a few other female young martial artists were still there.
Leaving that nearly damaged backyard, the group of young martial artists walked in separate ways.
Late at night.
The Three Rivers City was still ablaze with lights, showing no sign of quieting down.
Inside the bedroom, Ye Chen had been sitting on a king-sized bed with his legs crossed, and working on his Zhen Qi cultivation concentratedly; all those noises coming from outside couldn’t affect him even by the slightest amount.
Those people he met at the party today, such as Murong Qingcheng and Qi Shaofeng, had given Ye Chen a great pressure. Among those young martial artists, some had mastered legendarily powerful martial arts, some possessed great martial skills. Even the sword skill which always allowed him to defeat opponents at a higher level than himself, seemed less impressive today because Wei Renjie had attained the blade intent which was equally legendary to the sword intent. Moreover, he had also reached a small success on his blade intent, just like Ye Chen did on his sword intent.
If he attended the Hidden Dragon Rank with his current power, he could never make into the top 40. Perhaps, even the top 50 would also be a dream to him. It had been two years since the last season Hidden Dragon Rank ended, who knew how much had those low-ranked martial artists improved during this time period? Some of them might’ve been immature and were lacking in practice back when they last attended. But in the past two years, those young and talented martial artists could have already reached a whole new level and probably could make into the top 30, or even the top 10 this time.
Ye Chen felt a slight pain from his meridians. Therefore, he cut off the connection between his meridians and the spirit stones held in his hands, then slowly opened his eyes.
“Pressure is a good thing, but I have to be patient and strengthen myself bit by bit. After all, no one can grow enough muscles in only one day. Anxiousness can’t help anyway. At this moment, I’ll have to concentrate on reaching the top level of the Grey Mystery Art.”
……
On a tall building were two dark human silhouettes.
With the dim moonlight, you could find that they were a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a purple dress and veil; just like you thought, it was none other than Murong Qingcheng, the second-ranked disciple of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School, while the man was Qi Shaofeng.
“Brother Qi,” a soft breeze gently blew across Murong Qingcheng’s veil while she spoke in a bland tone, “you asked me to come all the way here. Not only for the small party, I assume.”
“Surely not.” Responded Qi Shaofeng with his typical smile.
“Hm, then I’d like to know the real purpose of yours.”
Murong Qingcheng seemed calm and careless, but abruptly, she thrusted her hand out and clenched her fist. Along with her move, a bat nearby which was searching for food, got instantly crushed by a sudden and invisible emerging force field.
Qi Shaofeng gave his explanation, “Three months ago, I’ve got the information about how someone gained a Sky Devil Serpent’s scale in the vast mountain area of the Grey Mystery Nation.”
“Sky Devil Serpent’s scale? Are you serious?”
Murong Qingcheng stared at Qi Shaofeng with a sharp and piercing gaze, while a subtle and weird look flashed across her eyes.
Breathing slightly heavier than before, Qi Shaofeng turned his eyes away from Murong Qingcheng’s face embarrassedly, then he smiled and continued, “It should be true. That Sky Devil Serpent’s scale was then purchased by me with one hundred thousand gold and five hundred pieces of low-ranked stones. I have it right now, you can take a look yourself.”
His storage ring shone with a dim light and along with that, a human-head sized scale appeared in Qi Shaofeng’s hand. He took a deep breath, then handed the scale to Murong Qingcheng.
Taking the scale, Murong Qingcheng activated her Sky Devil Zhen Qi and injected it into the scale.
Buzz!
The surrounding air slightly rippled, while a black layer of light emerged around the scale.
“It’s indeed a Sky Devil Serpent’s scale, because only the scales of Sky Devil Serpents can make connection with my Sky Devil Zhen Qi.” At first, Murong Qingcheng showed a surprise look on her face, but soon gave a bitter smile and said, “However, judging from the shape of this scale, this serpent should still be in its growth stage, level 7 or above. That means even if we join hand in hand, we couldn’t possibly survive a casual attack launched by it. Not to mention even taking the Sky Devil Bloom.
Murong Qingcheng cared so much about this. It wasn’t because that she wanted something from the serpent itself; instead, what she truly wanted was a Sky Devil Bloom, that had been guarding by Sky Devil Serpents. According to the ancient legend, Sky Devil Blooms were nourished by the ancient Devil King’s blood and contained an extremely great power. If she could have a single petal of the Sky Devil Bloom, she could probably break into the eighth, or even the ninth level of her Great Sky Devil Art within a short amount of time. If she obtained the entire bloom, she could even reach the top level of the Great Sky Devil Art. In the history of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School, apart from some legendarily powerful martial artists who had already fallen, not a single one had ever managed to achieve the top level of this Great Sky Devil Art.
Qi Shaofeng grinned and said, “I surely won’t waste your time by letting you come all the way here for nothing. Look closer and see if this scale is complete?”
Hearing him, Murong Qingcheng looked down and checked the scale again. Just as Qi Shaofeng said, there was a crack on the edge of that scale which she didn’t notice earlier because she was too excited.
