Chapter 26: Falling Down into the Abyss
The sharp pain made Qin Yu frown slightly as he continued to merge with the wind. While he drifted, he tried to comprehend its spiritual nature. If the pain he currently felt was already unbearable, how could he continue down the path of a cultivator?
The Cloudtrack Phantom skill was closely linked to the wind element. Back when he was Xie Di, he had comprehended the spiritual nature of four elements: earth, wood, water, and wind. He had even developed each of the four elements into spiritual power. Xie Di was truly a genius among geniuses to have been able to comprehend four out of seven forces of nature and apply it to his spiritual power.
That’s why it wasn’t very difficult for him to comprehend the wind’s spiritual nature.
The person in the dark had slipped up once again. They appeared to have been provoked as they released a series of violent attacks. A string of blades made out of light shot out from the darkness toward Qin Yu. Qin Yu’s body was soon covered in even more cuts.
His wounds were quickly healed by the《Secrets to Eternal Life》as he endured the pain.
*Roar* Something within the dark storm released a fierce snarl. It was infuriated by the fact that none of the blades that it sent had killed Qin Yu. Plus, it noticed how Qin Yu was slowly adapting as he nimbly avoided the violent winds with strange body movement skills as time progressed. In the end, not even the corners of Qin Yu’s clothes could be cut.
Who was he? How was he able to comprehend the wind’s spiritual nature while fighting?
“Wind, rise!”
As the person within the shadows continued to roar, Qin Yu finally moved and spat out those two words indifferently. With a wave of his hand, the trajectory of the violent winds suddenly changed as it whistled fiercely.
“Clouds, rush forth!”
As he spoke, the thick black fog surged around his body. This time, the thick fog surrounding him was more concentrated. It was also darker and more violent than the wind in other areas.
In the dark, two eyes flashed with amazement as they watched the changes around Qin Yu’s body. They were aware that Qin Yu was preparing to counterattack. However, they wouldn’t give Qin Yu an opportunity to strike back as they released another roar. The person followed the wind as a sharp sword of condensed sword qi 1 struck forward, slashing down like lightning as it charged at Qin Yu. The bright light left a blinding tear in the dark storm as.
“Rushing Thunder Palm’s second form: To Surge Like a Rushing Storm, attack!”
Streaks of thunder and lightning appeared as Power like Rushing Thunder struck forward, creating loud claps of thunder as the black clouds swelled. His palm was akin to lightning striking down from behind the clouds as he penetrated through the black fog in a flash. He violently rushed forward and followed the wind’s movements toward his target.
He had been allowing the enemy to attack first before seizing a favorable opportunity to counterattack. His palm strike swept through the fiercely approaching sword qi.
The sword qi fell, splitting the dark earth under his feet. A blood-curdling scream sounded as the palm strike landed. The figure was sent flying into the air with a boom, releasing a spray of blood as it was swallowed up by the black fog in a flash.
Qin Yu didn’t think that he could use the fierce winds and Yin Demon’s qi from this area to not only understand the spiritual nature of wind, but also achieve enlightenment in regards to the second form of Rushing Thunder Palm, To Surge Like a Rushing Storm.
Wind was the force of nature while clouds were the manifestation of the Yin Demon’s qi in the form of black clouds.
If the Yin Demon’s qi were to manifest into the form of black clouds and spread outside it would cause terror. After all, the Yin Demon’s qi corroded all living things so nobody would dare to treat it lightly.
Unfortunately, it had no effect here. Those who could move freely inside didn’t fear the Yin Demon’s qi and were able to rely on their own strength to fight force with force.
Qin Yu dropped back down to the ground and sensed his surroundings for any movement in the black storm. However, he couldn’t sense any other living things, including whatever he had just attacked.
It had disappeared. But where was Mu Rongyue? Was she already…?
Qin Yu’s heart tightened as he felt an ominous premonition.
*Boom*
Suddenly, a deafening boom sounded from under his feet. The ground trembled violently.
“Not good! Wind, rise!” Qin Yu floated in the wind as he lifted himself off the ground.
*Rumble* A loud thunderclap rang out as the ground under Qin Yu suddenly split open, revealing an immeasurably deep chasm.
