Chapter 50 of Tianzhu Transformation: Challenge! Upper Tian Sect (Middle)
How is that possible? He's still hundreds of meters away! At this point, Zhou Weiqing's shock had reached its peak. In mid-air, he barely managed to turn around... What he saw was Ming Wu coming towards him at an incredible speed. And that irresistible suction force was coming from a large red flower.
It was also a Flower of the Netherworld, but the power of the Flower of the Netherworld possessed by Ming Wu was almost ten or a hundred times stronger than that of Ming Hua. The overwhelming suction force forcibly pulled Zhou Weiqing backward. If this continued, it would take only one breath of time before Ming Wu could catch up with Zhou Weiqing and capture him.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing finally revealed his full strength. In mid-air, his left hand instantly swung back, producing a sharp tearing sound accompanied by a gleam of silver light —— it was Space Fissure.
The effect of Space Fissure was undeniable. Although due to the disparity in strength, it failed to completely counteract the immense suction force of the Flower of the Netherworld, it did manage to resist most of it. Meanwhile, Zhou Weiqing used another space skill, Spatial Shift, instantly transmitting himself ten meters to the side. After reaching the three-bead realm, his spatial shift distance had increased from three meters to ten, and the interval between each use had also shortened significantly.
Not only did he use these two skills, but while performing Spatial Shift, the first autumn ice grass bead on Zhou Weiqing's left wrist also emitted a brilliant light, causing a mist of cold air to swirl as the Hegemon Bow appeared in his grasp.
The reason for releasing the Hegemon Bow was because Zhou Weiqing knew well that if he were to simply run away, there was no way he could escape. Continuous release of physical beads and spiritual beads' tangible equipment ensued.
Kicking off against the air, a piercing explosion sounded as Zhou Weiqing dashed towards the city wall once again. Simultaneously, his Hegemon Bow was drawn, his body half-turned, the bow spinning in his left palm. The bowstring, made entirely of celestial energy, spun around as well, and the titanium alloy arrow already placed on the string let out a sharp "gah" sound as it flew out.
What Zhou Weiqing had just used was Mu Si's ultimate technique —— Twisting String Method. By altering the form of the bowstring, he created a spiral with greater tension, unleashing the strongest attack.
Mu Si himself was merely a six-bead level physical bead master, yet he could hunt down celestial beasts at the heavenly level using this Twisting String Method, demonstrating how formidable this technique was. Moreover, although Zhou Weiqing's celestial energy wasn't yet as strong as his teacher's, his physical strength far surpassed Mu Si's.
Furthermore, what he was using now was none other than the Hegemon Bow, exclusive to strength-type celestial bead masters.
Arrows shot with the Twisting String Method inherently possess explosive characteristics, and the nature of the Hegemon Bow is also explosive. With dual explosions, the power multiplies geometrically. Don't forget, Zhou Weiqing was not a celestial bead warrior, but a celestial bead archer. When he held his longbow, that was when he was at his strongest. Even double-handed Divine Strength Hammers paled in comparison to his well-honed bow.
Ming Wu dared to let Zhou Weiqing run first because he was extremely confident in catching him. If his cultivation allowed Zhou Weiqing to escape back into the city, it would be laughable.
Just as Ming Wu thought the immense suction force of the Flower of the Netherworld was working effectively, requiring just a moment more to enter within thirty meters of Zhou Weiqing, the latter's Space Fissure startled him. Hearing about it from his daughter was one thing, but witnessing it firsthand was another. Ming Wu, being much more knowledgeable than Ming Hua, recognized this ability immediately.
Silver Emperor Celestial Beast's Space Fissure. How could this be? With such little cultivation, how could he have imprinted such a powerful ability from the Silver Emperor Celestial Beast? At this moment, Ming Wu was truly shocked. What was the Silver Emperor Celestial Beast? It was a Heavenly-level celestial beast! Even with his own cultivation, if he were a space attribute celestial bead master, it would still be impossible to imprint abilities from the Silver Emperor Celestial Beast.
From the heavenly level to the royal level, like celestial bead masters progressing from the heavenly level to the royal level, it was a qualitative leap. Countless celestial bead masters and celestial beasts were stuck at this barrier. According to Ming Wu's knowledge, he had never heard of any celestial bead master below the royal level being able to imprint abilities from a royal level celestial beast. This was simply impossible!
Moreover, Ming Wu couldn't fully confirm whether he had misidentified it or not, but it was indeed the space fissure ability of the Silver Emperor Celestial Beast. Simultaneously, he knew that in the Imprint Palace, they had recently captured a Silver Emperor Celestial Beast, for which the young miss had paid a great price.
Although complex thoughts filled his mind, Ming Wu's figure didn't hesitate even slightly. Even without the help of the Flower of the Netherworld, with his nine-bead level cultivation, he was fully confident in catching Zhou Weiqing before he could reach the city wall.
Right at this moment, the arrow fired by Zhou Weiqing's Hegemon Bow arrived.
"Hmm!" Facing the rapidly spinning titanium arrow, Ming Wu was greatly surprised. Its attack power was so formidable that even he, a heavenly level expert, dared not let this arrow strike him directly; it would surely cause some damage.
In mid-air, Ming Wu waved his hand, flicking his fingers outward. Just in the nick of time, he struck the arrowhead. Simultaneously, a burst of intense white light instantly spread out, forcefully covering the explosive force and sound of the arrow.
Without a doubt, even with his bow and arrows, Zhou Weiqing posed no real threat to Ming Wu. However, a bizarre scene unfolded. Ming Wu's body suddenly stiffened. Although he still moved forward, his speed compared to before was like the difference between heaven and earth.
How could this be? For the first time, Ming Wu's expression changed noticeably, showing ferocity, surprise, and even a hint of fear. From the previous explosion, he had discerned the potent power contained within and had neutralized it with his peak celestial energy. But after the explosion, his speed had instantly slowed down, becoming unbearably sluggish. No matter how he urged his celestial energy, or even activated the life attributes within his spiritual bead, he couldn't shake off this sluggishness, which lasted for exactly three seconds.
Three seconds might seem short, but sometimes it was more than enough. Like now.
After firing the arrow, Zhou Weiqing didn't bother looking at Ming Wu anymore. Turning around, he stepped onto the city wall, leaping up again. In those three seconds, he had already rushed to the top of the wall like lightning. He even had time to mock Ming Wu before fleeing further along the wall, simultaneously shouting loudly and causing chaos among the guards on the wall. Undoubtedly, this confusion greatly increased his chances of escaping.
After the brief three seconds, the next moment, Ming Wu landed inside Peili City. His expression was now quite grim. Until now, he still couldn't comprehend what ability Zhou Weiqing had used that managed to slow him down for three whole seconds. Given their cultivation gap, this should have been absolutely impossible.
As soon as Zhou Weiqing entered Peili City, he immediately began running without stopping. Deep in his heart, he was still filled with fear. Now, he had only one thought: to leave Peili City with Shangguan Bing'er. Regardless of how important the students of Peili Royal Military Academy were, nothing was more important than their freedom. Moreover, they could face imminent danger at any moment.
Suddenly, Zhou Weiqing stopped in his tracks. Not far ahead, under the moonlight, a shadow stretched long. Could it be anyone other than Ming Wu?
At this moment, Ming Wu stood there, hands behind his back, frowning deeply, eyes flickering uncertainly, as if struggling with something.
After a brief pause, Zhou Weiqing's face revealed a smile. "Senior Ming Wu, I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon. Rest assured, Senior, though I am young and far weaker than you, I always keep my word and will not divulge any secrets about the Tianxie Sect. To honor one's promises is something every man must do."
Ming Wu sighed. "Enough, you don't need to taunt me. I admit, you've greatly surprised me. You won our bet earlier. I truly didn't expect that not only do you possess the Silver Emperor Celestial Beast's Space Fissure, but you also have a powerful restriction skill that I can't even name. If I'm not mistaken, your attributes also include wind. Wind, space, evil —— at least three attributes!"
Zhou Weiqing said, "It's getting late, Senior Ming Wu. Since our bet has ended, I'll go back to sleep." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave in another direction.
But who would have known, in the blink of an eye, Ming Wu was right in front of him again. At this moment, Ming Wu's expression turned extremely grim. Sighing deeply, he said, "I apologize, young man. I'm afraid I must break my promise this time. For the future of our sect, I'm willing to bear all consequences of betrayal. But no matter what, today I must make you join our Tianxie Sect. You are too outstanding. Your excellence makes even me feel intimidated. I believe that if you join us, in the near future, our sect will surely rise under your leadership."
Zhou Weiqing stared wide-eyed at Ming Wu. Everything happening before his eyes was beyond what he could have imagined. With Ming Wu's cultivation as an upper-tier celestial master and his standing in the world of celestial bead masters, after fighting with him, he actually wanted to reverse the situation.
Breaking one's promise might sound easy, but for someone of Ming Wu's stature as an upper-tier celestial master, saying it was incredibly difficult. At this moment, Zhou Weiqing's heart sank to the bottom. If Ming Wu was willing to break his promise, it showed how determined he was to force him to join the Tianxie Sect today.
