Chapter 362 - 356: Mengmeng vs. Lin Yuan
Rumor has it that the Peacock Great Ming King was not originally a member of the World Honored One Sect.
By a chance encounter, the World Honored met the Peacock Great Ming King.
At that time, the Peacock Great Ming King was not called the Peacock Great Ming King, but rather Kong Xuan.
Coincidentally, the World Honored had just established the sect and was in need of followers.
The World Honored saw Kong Xuan’s exceptional talent and stopped him, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please hold your step. You are fated with our sect, would you be willing to join us?"
However, facing the World Honored who stopped him abruptly, the proud Kong Xuan just replied with one word: "Scram!"
As soon as that word "Scram" was uttered, the World Honored knew that to subdue Kong Xuan, mere persuasion would not suffice.
Seeing Kong Xuan’s fondness for battle, the World Honored proposed a duel, where the loser must fulfill one request of the winner.
As a Tier Two powerhouse, who wouldn’t have a bit of pride?
Moreover, at that time, Kong Xuan had just mastered his signature technique, the Five-Colored Divine Light.
Faced with the World Honored’s challenge, he naturally wouldn’t retreat.
Kong Xuan accepted the World Honored’s challenge.
Of course, the result of this wager was evident.
Kong Xuan lost, he was defeated by the World Honored.
And because of this, the current Peacock Great Ming King came to be.
Kong Mengmeng’s desire to duel with Lin Yuan may have something to do with this.
Her father, the Peacock Great Ming King, is Kong Mengmeng’s idol; the defeat to the World Honored is something that’s always been a thorn in Kong Mengmeng’s heart.
Lin Yuan is known as the World Honored’s nemesis. Back then, her father lost to the World Honored, so Kong Mengmeng wants to defeat this nemesis of the World Honored to restore the glory of the Peacock clan.
Lin Yuan still doesn’t know, it’s precisely because the Peacock Great Ming King was once defeated by the World Honored that sparked Kong Mengmeng’s desire to duel with him.
...
...
In the sky, Lin Yuan and Kong Mengmeng stood facing each other, the two...
No, it should be said it was one human and one peacock, standing about a hundred meters apart.
This distance, for ordinary people, is quite far.
However, for top Tier Four experts like Lin Yuan and Kong Mengmeng, they could reach each other in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Kong Mengmeng still hadn’t transformed into her human form, remaining in her peacock form to confront Lin Yuan.
For Kong Mengmeng, revealing her true form was the only way to unleash her strongest combat power.
Facing Lin Yuan with her peacock body was Kong Mengmeng’s way of showing respect to him.
"Lin Yuan, here I come!" Kong Mengmeng’s eyes revealed a human-like brilliance.
It’s clear that Kong Mengmeng valued this battle with Lin Yuan deeply, as she was the one to strike first.
It’s essential to know that Kong Mengmeng not only inherited the excellent genes of her father, the Peacock Great Ming King, but also his pride.
There truly aren’t many enemies who can make her, Kong Mengmeng, take the initiative to strike first!
Avian monsters are most skilled at stirring wind and clouds by flapping their wings.
With a flap of her wings, countless wind blades flew out from beneath.
The wind blades summoned by Kong Mengmeng were different from ordinary ones.
Ordinary wind blades are almost transparent.
However, Kong Mengmeng’s wind blades were divided into five colors: green, yellow, red, black, and white.
These five colors respectively represent the Five Elements Energy.
The peacock clan is the most skilled at using Five Elements Energy.
Green wind blades, these are wood-attribute wind blades.
Yellow wind blades, these are earth-attribute wind blades.
Red wind blades, these are fire-attribute wind blades.
Black wind blades, these are water-attribute wind blades.
White wind blades, these are metal-attribute wind blades.
Green wind blades exuded a green light, seeming like vines that could bind people.
Yellow wind blades carried a Gravity Field Domain, so once near, one would fall into a heavy gravity field.
Red wind blades bore explosive power, setting off an explosion upon contact.
Black wind blades carried corrosive power over everything.
White wind blades possessed invincible potency.
Countless Five-Colored Wind Blades whistled past Lin Yuan’s ear.
Still, Lin Yuan did not show the slightest fear.
If he were dueling the Peacock Great Ming King today, Lin Yuan would naturally surrender without a word.
However, since the opponent was Kong Mengmeng, that was a different situation.
Simply put, Lin Yuan dared to claim invincibility below Tier Four, and a one-on-one exchange above it.
Back then, in the Eighteen Layers of Minor Hell, Lin Yuan personally took down the Tier Three Tiger Robe Ming King.
But now, the Equal Heaven Balance formed by the tattoo ability of King Pingdeng is nearly cracked and can’t be used temporarily.
So above Tier Four, a one-on-one exchange is currently unachievable for Lin Yuan.
Still, being invincible below Tier Four is something he can manage.
Lin Yuan didn’t even use the tattoo ability of King Zhuanlun to summon the heroes of the Human Race, to avoid any claim from Kong Mengmeng that he was bullying her.
Lin Yuan directly summoned Zhong Kui’s Ghost-Slaying Sword. Upon seeing it, a divine aura emanated from the sword, seemingly different from before.
On the blade, a vaguely blood-colored fierce tiger roared, as if struggling to break free from it.
This change appeared to have occurred after he took down the Tiger Robe Ming King.
However, now wasn’t the time to examine Zhong Kui’s Ghost-Slaying Sword’s changes because Kong Mengmeng’s wind blades had already reached his front.
In Lin Yuan’s hand, Zhong Kui’s Ghost-Slaying Sword pointed forward, creating ripples in the void.
With this strike, he actually pierced the very space before him.
After the ripples, a black hole appeared not far from Lin Yuan.
This black hole seemed to possess endless attraction, swallowing all the overwhelming Five-Colored Wind Blades as they neared Lin Yuan.
A moment later, the black hole slowly disappeared, the surroundings returned to peace, as if nothing had ever happened.
Kong Mengmeng: "?????"
Kong Mengmeng was utterly surprised, amazed at Lin Yuan, the so-called nemesis of the World Honored.
Indeed, he was extraordinary.
That previous strike was a significant move in Kong Mengmeng’s usual techniques.
Using that move in the Mysterious World, she was virtually unbeatable among her peers.
Yet such a powerful strike was effortlessly neutralized by Lin Yuan.
With ease and grace, without expending an ounce of energy.
At this moment, Kong Mengmeng felt as if she might follow the footsteps of her father.
Back in the day, her father lost to the World Honored; today, she seemed to face defeat at Lin Yuan’s hands.
No!
Absolutely not!
Kong Mengmeng couldn’t tolerate the glory of the Peacock clan being tarnished in her hands again.
Since conventional methods couldn’t solve Lin Yuan, then she would use her ultimate move.
With this thought, Kong Mengmeng directly demonstrated a full peacock display for Lin Yuan on the spot.
Before the mysterious invasion, Lin Yuan often saw peacocks displaying their tails in parks.
However, compared to Kong Mengmeng, those park peacocks were like beggars compared to goddesses.
Could it be that Kong Mengmeng’s ultimate move was a peacock display?
Did she intend to charm Lin Yuan to death?
No!
Of course not!
