C32 (1/2)
The river was still roaring as usual, and a terrifying chill was being released from the river. Traceless Aftermaths, who was hiding behind a giant boulder, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
On the boundless prairie in front of him, a strong wind inexplicably blew. A proud and frail figure was running towards the edge of the river like a bolt of lightning.
”Damn, what a strong pressure, I can't take it anymore!” Sensing that the pressure was getting stronger and stronger, Wu Hen immediately used the Liu Xu Misty Movement Art. An afterimage streaked across the empty ground. Traceless Aftermaths had already appeared a hundred meters away from the boulder.
With a loud boom, a wave rose and struck the river, causing a clear stream to flow through it. The huge rock that Formless had previously avoided was crushed into dust in the blink of an eye.
”Damn, old demon, what's going on?” Wu Hen swallowed his saliva as he looked at the cold stream water gradually dissipating behind him. Beside him, Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao's shadow moved like a shadow and appeared next to Wu Hen.
”Hehe, that river is not simple! Inside that place, I'm afraid there are profound beasts protecting it! ” Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao narrowed his sharp eyes as he slowly reminded Wu Hen.
”What?” Xuan Beast? This is a terrifying existence that is a level higher than even berserk beasts! ” Wu Hen's heart was in turmoil, and his clothes were instantly soaked in cold sweat.
A mere fierce beast was an extremely terrifying existence to the current Wu Hen. Let alone profound beasts that were stronger than it. A mystical beast was comparable to a human cultivator at the Dan Soul Realm! As the saying goes, a Core Formation martial spirit would establish a sect. Any cultivator who was at the Dan Soul Stage was qualified to start their own sect! But of course, this qualification was limited to the smaller sects within the various empires. Compared to those mysterious sects, those alchemists in the soul realm naturally couldn't do much.
”Hehe, I assume that the river is a restriction used to trap beasts. The area we are currently in is protected by a formation. Beasts of profound beasts and above should be unable to pass through the lightning lake! However, it was not that safe here. Wu Hen, brat, it is better for us to leave this place as soon as possible. ” Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao retracted the smile on his face as he solemnly analyzed to Wu Hen.
”Cough cough, old demon, this fart is reasonable!” With a light cough, Wu Hen quickly circulated the profound energy in his body. Liu Xu used all her strength in the Misty Art, and Wu Hen turned into a shadow, escaping out of the river bank in an instant.
”Aooo!” Just as Wu Hen stabilized his body, he heard a roar coming from not too far away. Soon after, a strong gust of wind blew over. A dull ache came from Wu Hen's chest.
”Damn, where did this evil creature come from?!” Don't be so arrogant, I, the Great Sage, will not take your ability! ” Wu Hen roared in anger, and quickly turned his body to dodge backwards. All he saw was a gray blur, slashing past his previous body. A strong gust of wind ripped Wu Hen's clothes into vertical strips.
”Haha, Wu Hen brat, didn't you want to take his sacred art? Why didn't you go forth to chase after him, and instead escaped towards the back? ” The Demon Lord Huo Xiao moved like a shadow, his red figure taunting beside Wu Hen's ear.
”Heh heh, this young master's name is called 'Ascending the West'. Old demon, just learn a little! ” From afar, Wu Hen quietly released his spiritual sense to lock onto the grey figure. Waves of pain came from his chest as a white scar silently appeared on his yellow skin.
”Hu!” A burst of mystical Qi rose as the primordial chaos quickly flew inside Wu Hen's body. The white mark on Wu Hen's chest disappeared after a short while.
”Aooo!” With another proud howl, a layer of white light gradually appeared on the body of the grey figure in front of him. A gust of wind surged up, and the grey figure wrapped around the wind and once again charged forward.
In just a single breath, the gray figure flew in front of Wu Hen. Wu Hen only felt a strong wind blowing around him as his body was tightly bound by it.
”Humph! Evil creature, eat my punch!” Wu Hen's sharp eyes suddenly shot out two rays of cold light. A violent burst of mystical Qi soared into the sky, causing the wind that was binding his entire body to collapse. After which, Wu Hen stepped forth and threw out a punch. A golden ray of light wrapped around Wu Hen's fist and collided heavily with the incoming gray figure.
”Bam.”
”Awoo!”
A muffled sound resounded through the silent prairie. The aura of the endless berserk profound energy caused the lush green grass around to be uprooted domineeringly. Soon after, a blood-curdling scream was heard. In front of Traceless Aftermath, a gray figure flew tens of meters away horizontally.
Hehe, what a strong power. ”I'm afraid that this fellow's power has already reached the level of a savage beast!” ”Wu Hen's eyes narrowed, and in a flash, he appeared a hundred meters ahead.
Boom!” Another punch from Wu Hen. A terrifying force of hundreds of thousands of elephants heavily smashed on the grey figure that was flying towards them.
”Puchi!” A muffled sound resounded faintly. A deep crater several meters deep appeared in front of Wu Hen, with billowing smoke and dust floating in the air.
The rolling dust gradually dispersed, and a gray figure only remained within the deep pit. The four claws touched the ground and the grey figure within the crater was now like a dried up skin, firmly stuck to the surface of the soil within the crater.
Ahem, so it's the Wild Wolf!” It was said that this object contained a wind-attribute beast core, which could speed up one's movement for a short period of time. In battle, he was adept at hiding his attacks and killing with a single blow. Therefore, even though it is a savage beast, a normal Soul Building Stage Late Phase martial practitioner would usually not be able to kill it with a single blow! ” Demon Lord Huo Xiao shook his big and tall body, appearing in front of the corpse of the Savage Wolf, and then floating to Wu Hen's side as he chattered excitedly.
