597 Patriarch Black Wind (2/2)
”D*rn it!”
When the scream reverberated, above ground, Wang Baole, who was forcefully pulling the large sculpture out, blinked. At that moment, the red glow emerging from the sculpture intensified, as if the sculpture was coming alive. A sign of activity was also visible from the sculpture's originally listless eyes.
”It's alive?” Wang Baole was shocked. In his disbelief, he raised his right hand and revealed a large ball of Dark Fire. He smacked his hand onto the head of the sculpture.
”Then, I have no choice but to snatch it!” As Wang Baole spoke, his hand smacked down on the sculpture loudly. The sculpture vibrated several times, and the red glow dissipated. When everything returned to normal, Wang Baole pulled the sculpture out of the ground completely. He was excited and wanted to put the sculpture in the storage bracelet. Only, he realized that the sculpture was too big and that his storage bracelet was almost entirely filled. Unless he dismantled the sculpture, he wouldn't be able to keep it.
Wang Baole regretted immediately, as he felt that he should have prepared more storage bags when he came. Right now, without a choice, he could only pull the sculpture along as he hurriedly left. At the same time, he raised his hand continuously and smacked it onto the sculpture to break it into pieces. He did everything while simultaneously putting the pieces into his storage bag.
As Wang Baole escaped, on the altar deep underground, a scream even louder than previously reverberated. The vortex had even detached from the altar and shrank significantly, eventually transforming into the illusory image of a human-like creature with the body of a bird.
The figure had the head of a woman, but not of an elderly lady. Instead, it looked like a middle-aged woman, but it wasn't the least beautiful. It looked extremely frightening, and there was a black mark on its face. It had a mouth full of sharp teeth. With viciousness in its eyes, it turned and transformed into a gust of black wind, emerging from the basin through the cave and shooting into the sky!
Instantly, black wind spread in all directions, charging towards the sky. It immediately noticed Wang Baole, who was hugging the sculpture and escaping at high speed into the distance.
”You have to die for stealing my sculpture!” As it screamed, the alien cultivator with the head of a human and the body of a bird pursued Wang Baole at immense speed.
Patriarch Black Wind? Wang Baole, who was attacking the sculpture and breaking it into pieces before storing them in his storage bag, turned to take a look upon hearing the voice. He recognized the owner of the voice, as the black wind was extremely powerful, which made recognition easy.
A Nascent Soul realm cultivator indeed… A glow flashed across Wang Baole's eyes as he picked up speed. As he continued to escape at high speed, he also attacked the sculpture even more furiously.
Seeing that Wang Baole was escaping, Patriarch Black Wind was extremely unhappy and refused to let Wang Baole get his way. It was formed by the accumulation of black winds and had an edge in terms of speed. That was especially so as Wang Baole was a mere Core Formation realm cultivator. Patriarch Black Wind didn't consider the issue of how a Core Formation realm cultivator could appear in the area. Instead, it picked up speed in its pursuit and resolved to swallow Wang Baole whole!
In reality, even though Patriarch Black Wind was at the Nascent Soul realm, it was only at the early stage. Furthermore, as it didn't train using a physical body, it didn't have a high Spirit Intelligence. It was so authoritative on the Black Spirit Dwarf Planet simply due to the crisis that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace had experienced previously, which left the area unattended. All the elites from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace were nullified, which gave it the unplanned opportunity to rule the area, transforming it into a place for cultivation. At the same time, it made use of the Stellar Source present in the area and spent many years to lay the sculptures so that it could cultivate.
However, now that its efforts were negated by Wang Baole, it grew furious, especially as Wang Baole continued to attack the sculpture.
”Little thief, I will swallow your flesh, extract your soul, and convert you into a ghost spirit. I'll whip you repeatedly for a thousand years to make you suffer for stealing my sculpture!” Patriarch Black Wind neared as it screamed. When it was a mere thousand feed from Wang Baole, Patriarch Black Wind screamed shrilly, sealing its hands as it pointed. Immediately, its body vanished, transforming into a black hurricane as it swept towards Wang Baole.
Realizing that his speed was no match for Patriarch Black Wind, Wang Baole was unhappy and wanted to pick up speed. However, noticing the black hurricane that it had transmogrified into, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes.
It's related to spirits indeed! Wang Baole laughed suddenly, tossing the remaining half of the sculpture aside. When he turned his head, a look of ferocity appeared in his eyes.
”Are you blind? I'm not a thief. This is the territory of my Vast Expanse Dao Palace. As a disciple of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, I'm just here to take something. It's good enough that I didn't find trouble with you, yet you dare to threaten me?” Wang Baole sounded extremely righteous as he turned and clenched the right hand of Thearch Armor into a fist and punched!
