Chapter 70 (1/2)

High up in the skies, those on top of the Black-Moon Centipede – Great Mage Bai Yuan Zhi, Qing Shi, and the others were all shocked at seeing Xiang Pang Yun change into a gigantic four-hooved, black-scaled, mutated beast.

“It’s a mutated beast, and one that is different from an ordinary kind of magical beast! A rank six mutated beast on top of that!” Si Chen sighed in alarm, “Xiang Pang Yun is unexpectedly able to transform into a magical beast.”

Peng peng peng.

With just three swooping attacks by the four-hooved black-scaled, mutated beast, Xue Ying entered a dire situation.

“No, D… Don’t!” Qing Shi clamored, tears flowing down his cheeks, “Don’t!”

That was his most important loved one.

“Xue Ying!” Zong Ling and Tong San were frantic as well.

“Quickly escape, quickly escape, we will die as well should the lord of the castle perish.” Great Mage Bai Yuan Zhi’s expression greatly changed. Seeing the pair of wings on the back of the four-hooved, black-scaled, beast, he immediately felt terror. He knew his Black-Moon Centipede could only travel at half-sonic speed and a rank four flying-beast could even surpass his mount. A rank five flying-beast had the absolute capability of easily surpassing the speed of his Black-Moon Centipede refiner organism.

As for a sixth rank magical beast, and Xiang Pang Yun being such a mutated beast, its speed would definitely be more frightening! They had to hurry with their escape, else in front of that terrifying mutated beast, each and everyone of them would die!

Bai Yuan Zhi fully understood that after Xiang Pang Yun had revealed his true form to Xue Ying, that Xue Ying would not have any chance of retaliating against him. This situation would not give Bai Yuan Zhi and his fellow riders enough time to escape. Thus, every single moment of time must be fully utilised for them to leave the area.

“Hu!” The Black-Moon Centipede immediately turned about, flying at top speed away.

“Brother, brother!” Qing Shi’s streamed, endlessly, down his cheeks. He fixated on Black-Wind Cliff not far away, praying that a miracle would happen, praying that his brother would survive.

…

The long spear stabbed a meter deep into the mountain rock, allowing Xue Ying’s inverted and flying body to stop. Yet that four-hooved, black-scaled, beast once again pounced towards his direction.

“He!” Xue Ying exerted his strength, dodging to the side while pulling out his long spear free from the rock.

The four-hooved, black-scaled, monster’s blood eyes oozed killing intent.

Hong!

Its gigantic scaled wings suddenly flapped wide, showing the enormity of its wingspan.

Its enormous body charged towards Xue Ying but he managed to dodge it. Following behind the beast’s were its gigantic wings with a blood-coloured stream of energy. Xue Ying was unable to dodge the blood-coloured stream of energy in time. With a ‘Peng’ — the wing’s stream instantly slapped his body with a turbulent force, causing Xue Ying to fly backwards.

“I…”

This attack caused Xue Ying to fly out of the Black-Wind Cliff zone. He flew unceasingly while the black wind maelstrom buffeted him with its powerful force.

The difference between the two combatants was too big.

After transforming to its true self, Xiang Pang Yun’s strength was too overwhelming. Coupled with the wind being too fierce on the Black-Wind Cliff and the enormity of that four-hooved, black-scaled, beast, dodging was too much of an arduous task.

“Hahaha…” The four-hooved, black-scaled, beast flapped its wings and charged out of the Black-Wind Cliff, before flying up the skies. With another flap, it was able to easily stay in mid-air, despite of the black wind maelstrom surging close by. After all, how powerful were the wings of a four-hooves black-scaled, mutated beast? Being a flying-beast by nature, it had an innate talent in using wind!

The power wrought by a flap of its wings was unimaginable. Even if he was in the midsts of the black wind maelstrom, he could still fully withstand the force of wind and not be swept away by it, much less to say when he was far from the maelstrom.

The four hooved, black-scaled, beast and Xue Ying stared at each other.

Xue Ying was being swept backwards.

The four-hooved, black-scaled, beast discontinued its pursuit. Continuing its pursuit meant that it would have to continue deeper down the maelstrom with increasing levels of danger. Naturally, it did not want to enter such situation. Furthermore, the ‘Black-Wind Abyss’ would suffice in killing Xue Ying.

“Haha, Dong Bo Xue Ying, you’re dead. I’ll let your little brother and the rest accompanying him join you so that you won’t be so lonely after your death.” The four-hooved, black-scaled beast flapped its wings before flying off in its chase of the Black-Moon Centipede. It wanted to kill off every single human within it.

“Little brother.”

Time slowed down.

Xue Ying’s vision captured the escaping Black-Moon Centipede high up in the skies. He was able to see clearly those on the centipede, that anxious and agonised Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong and the distraught little brother Qing Shi, who looked as if he wanted to rush down from the Black-Moon Centipede. Uncle Zong and Uncle Tong both appeared to be holding Qing Shi back.

“Brother, brother–” His little brother was totally distraught. He raised his hand, gazing straight at his brother who was currently being swept towards the middle of the maelstrom.

That was his big brother!

“Little brother…”

“Little brother, little Pebble.”

Xue Ying did not know when they began, but tears were now streaming down his face.

When his parents were still around, the little Qing Shi would often babble while hugging his legs, “Brother, hug.”

“Brother, bad guy.” After being teased, little Qing Shi would shout.

“I want to sleep with brother.” That snotty and chubby child had slept with him on the same bed for many years, and his shirt had been wetted by the saliva from his brother many times.

“Brother, half is for you to eat.” That greedy snotty child was only willing to share with his brother the food that was so very tasty.

Over time, that snotty child grew up and went on to learn magic.

“Brother, I’m already a mage, I’m a mage,” He would exclaim joyfully.

“Qing Shi is so awesome.” Xue Ying would laughed when he hear that.
