Chapter 5 - First Kill (1/2)

Knowing that he had no time to waste Krune immediately took action, his cultivation is lower but he has his intelligence backing him up, when the demon crow was around 50 meters of distance Krune let out two wind blades, at the same time he started to retreat, he knows that wind blades shot at such distance can at most leave very small wounds that are hardly able to change anything, but that was his plan, to be able to defeat the crow he will need to first make it lower its guard.

Also he needs to save his spirit energy since he can't shoot to many blades due to the low amount of available for him at his level, so he need to finish it fast and to guarantee his victory the blades will need to be used at ten meters or less, ideally under five meters, also if he does too much of a ruckus he might attract even more demon beasts.

The problem was, if he used his blades at five meters or less he won't have time to dodge the attack even if he hits the beast, so Krune was trying to buy as much time as possible while thinking about a plan, once he uses his real killing move he must succeed, if not the demon crow will put up it's guard and he will probably be finished.

Sure enough the crow felt the wind blades hitting its body but completely disregarded it, the closer it got the more nervous Krune was, but he kept up to his plan, he shoots another three blades but this time purposely lowering its attack power so that the beast won't few any difference, when the blades hit this time the same thing happened, but that was exact when Krune noticed something, although the blades didn't threat the demon crow it still slightly made it change its route which was immediately corrected by the later.

'I never thought about using the wind power this way and I don't know if it will work, but it will have to make do'

Although it took a lot of time to explain in fact all happened in just a few seconds.

Krune finally stopped and readied five wind blades, that is the biggest number he can shoot at once while keeping enough spirit energy for one last maneuver, at the same time by his side the power of wind started to compress, if one didn't pay attention they would think that Krune was preparing a sixth wind blade to attack, the demon bird didn't think anything about it, due to its higher level of cultivation it indeed had a higher intelligence compared with normal beasts but it really was not a match for an adult wisp, after feeling the amount of damage inflicted by the first five blades of wind it totally threw caution to the back of its mind.

20 meters...

15 meters...

10 meters...

'Keep calm, keep calm, I only have one chance, if I screw this up I'm finished, keep waiting, five meters, it must be five meters otherwise I can't guarantee success'

Krune kept reminding himself, one can't blame him for his nervousness, until today he would flee at the first sight of danger, but today he had to fight and he must win!

In fact Krune had no other choice, his opponent has a higher cultivation and is a demon bird, obviously capable of flying, not to mention there is very few trees or other objects around which he could use at his favor, also, Krune wanted to prove to himself that all that he had said that day in front of Su Feng and Wang Feifei wasn't just talk.

The demon crow quickly approached, in its eyes the wisp is already in its belly having its energy being absorbed and raising its own strength.

5 meters!

”Now!”

Immediately five wind blades made with 90% of all his remaining spirit energy shoot forward, at the same time the sixth ball of compressed air by his side exploded, its wasn't a wind blade but the principle was the same as one, it generated a strong shock wave that blasted Krune out of the way of the demon crow, that was the only way he could think to get away of an almost point blank attack while using his killing move under five meters, doesn't matter how fast he could be, the difference of cultivation levels was too big for his speed to up to pair with the necessary time frame.

The four winged demon crow was alarmed, a sensation of immense danger passed through its body, it wanted to dodge the wind blades but it was impossible, the blades were already right in front of it, immediately its eyes went red and a savage look appeared on its face, since it can't dodge it might as well take the brunt and bring the wisp down with it, but it never expected that that wind blade beside that wisp wasn't a wind blade at all, as soon as it made its mind that air compressed ball explode right after the wind blades had been shot blasting the wisp away.

Blood splattered on the air, feathers flew up in the sky, three blades hit the right wings while another one hit the left ones, together with the shock wave that blasted Krune to the right made it possible to completely avoid being hit by the demon crow, the last wind blade was shot a little after the first four blades but before the shock wave, Krune had made up his mind to hit a sure kill blow and for that he had to guarantee that the last wind blade hit the right place at the right time, the last blade successfully hit the neck and a head was separated from its body, the head and the body of the four winged demon crow stumbled ahead for twenty some meters before finally stop.

Krune saw this sight and felt relief that it worked out, he used everything he had, he was feeling dizzy, his energy core was in absolute turmoil and almost empty, even his energy form was a lot smaller and fable, it would take some time until it stabilized again. But he cant wait here, the smell of blood is sure to attract the nearby demon beasts, he must leave straight away otherwise he won't have the chance later.
