Chapter 438: Chapter 407: Falling_1

The journey from LeFeng City to the County City spans several hundreds of miles. Even for a Wind-element Martial Artist like Kang Fuxing, known for his speed, has to sprint for a day non-stop to complete this journey.

However, the white-headed eagle that the group was riding was a top-grade flying mount, capable of covering incredible distances in a day.

So, it took less than an hour to almost reach their destination.

“We’re approaching the County City, I’m descending. Be careful everyone!”

Yin Wen reluctantly gave a warning. Although she desired nothing more than for the three to plunge to their deaths, she feared the trouble Xu Mu might cause if they survived.

Primarily because Xu Mu remained too calm, standing effortlessly on the back of the white-headed eagle as though he had no fear of falling.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the monster-beast essence blood Xu Mu had refined belonged to a flying beast.

In this world devoid of Spiritual Energy, even the most accomplished Martial Artists couldn’t fly unaided.

The only way to achieve flight was to cultivate Martial arts using the essence blood of a flying monster beast.

However, flying monster beasts were notoriously weak in close combat. Their optimum fighting strategy involved surprise attacks and usually, just enough strength for one hit.

Furthermore, the essence blood needed for further cultivation was challenging to acquire.

Flying monster beasts could soar in the sky and boasted incredible speed, making them among the most challenging beasts to capture.

Due to all these reasons and restrictions, the number of Martial Artists capable of flying after refining the essence blood of flying monster beasts were scarce.

However, Yin Wen couldn’t risk it. If Xu Mu turned out to be a flying Martial Artist, she would be doomed.

Moreover, even if Xu Mu wasn’t a flying Martial Artist, there was a chance that he might retaliate during their attempt to kill him, resulting in their shared downfall.

After much consideration, she couldn’t precisely decide on the course of action that could hurt her enemy significantly but also risk substantial damage to herself.

As for the anthromorphic beast spirit revealed by Xu Mu, Yin Wen firmly believed it was a deception, refusing to believe it was real.

Hearing Yin Wen’s alert, Yang Yang and others tightened their grip on the eagle’s feathers, particularly Zhang Ergou, whose hands were whitening from the strain.

Alone, Xu Mu continued to stand, causing a ripple in Yin Wen’s heart.

This is your death wish. You can’t blame me for this.

She quietly patted the eagle’s neck a few times before gently rubbing it. Responding to her gesture, the eagle abruptly lowered its head and flapped its wings, making a swift dive towards the ground.

Under a normal dive, it wouldn’t be surprising if one fainted due to lack of oxygen, let alone standing on it.

Faced with the rapid descent, the whistling wind in their ears sounded like a sharp blade. Unable to bear the speed, Yang Jiang joined Zhang Ergou in laying flat on the eagle’s back.

Zhang Ergou’s eyes were rolling back as if he had lost consciousness already. However, his survival instinct still had him clenching to the feathers of the eagle.

But the speed was too rapid. His body was at the verge of parting with the eagle, like a kite plummeting abruptly.

Yin Wen occupying the foremost position played the role of a windbreak. Thus, she felt significant resistance. But her strength was enough to keep her steady. Albeit, the pressure was considerable, it wasn’t life-threatening yet.

She held the eagle’s neck and slightly turned her head, hoping to see Xu Mu being blown away or at the very least see him lose his composure.

But–

Xu Mu was still standing there steadily, entirely defying gravity. Even more unbelievable was that his hair and clothes merely swayed slightly, as if he was only in a gentle breeze.

In this rapidly descending situation, even a person weighing 200 kg could get blown away. How could it only be a gentle breeze?
