Dongbo Xueying quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain and began to rush up the mountain at a rapid pace. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, his body turned into a blur, leaping up hundreds of meters in a blink. Xiang Pangyun also pursued without hesitation, the two of them, one in front and one behind, continuously approaching the mountain peak. This seemingly majestic mountain... in front of Dongbo Xueying and Xiang Pangyun, it was like a flat and smooth path.
"Rushing up the mountain again?" Xiang Pangyun had already crossed many mountains before. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but as the wind around him grew stronger, his expression changed. "This is... Black Wind Cliff?"
"Is Dongbo Xueying heading to Black Wind Cliff?" Xiang Pangyun immediately understood the other's intentions.
Black Wind Cliff itself wasn't particularly dangerous.
But the mountain abyss beside Black Wind Cliff... was the notorious Black Wind Abyss.
The Ruin Mountains were the place with the highest concentration of magical beasts on the entire continent. The clash between the most powerful human and magical beast extraordinary beings had continued for countless ages! Even in many eras, the emergence of great figures like the Dragon Mountain Emperor couldn't truly exterminate the magical beasts! Magical beasts wanted to eat humans, and humans wanted to kill magical beasts.
Ordinary armies repeatedly swept through the surroundings, and occasional life-and-death battles between extraordinary beings also occurred.
Thus, in the Ruin Mountains, there were some special areas left by terrifying battles, some of which were even dangerous to extraordinary beings. These areas... were mostly deep within the Ruin Mountains! There were also dozens of such areas outside the Ruin Mountains, and the Black Wind Abyss was one of them, located hundreds of miles outside the Ruin Mountains.
A long, long time ago... the Black Wind Abyss was already like this, a place of certain death!
"Do you want to go to Black Wind Cliff?" Xiang Pangyun's face was twisted with rage, and he pursued madly.
"I'm going to Black Wind Cliff, are you afraid?" Dongbo Xueying darted forward.
"Damn it!"
Xiang Pangyun pursued madly.
On the halfway point of the mountain, after both had flown up more than two thousand meters, they clashed again! This time, Xiang Pangyun was determined to kill Dongbo Xueying, but although he had the upper hand, the gap between them wasn't so great as to be hopeless. Moreover, seeing a glimmer of hope, Dongbo Xueying's fighting spirit grew even stronger, and he fought even more desperately.
After a hard clash and using the force to his advantage, Dongbo Xueying continued to rush upward.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the wind grew stronger, the wind was gray, and the higher up, the more intense the blackness in the wind.
"Almost there." Dongbo Xueying had never been here before, but he knew how terrifying this place was.
"Can't catch up." Xiang Pangyun wanted to clash again before Dongbo Xueying reached Black Wind Cliff, but seeing the distance between them, it was clearly too late.
Whoosh!
Dongbo Xueying continued to fly, finally reaching the highest point of the mountain, a bare summit about two to three hundred meters high, with no grass growing on it. The surroundings were filled with a black gale.
"Black Wind Cliff." Dongbo Xueying stood on the summit, this bare peak was Black Wind Cliff!
Beside Black Wind Cliff, there was a massive vortex of black wind, the range of the black wind vortex was several thousand meters, seemingly sweeping everything in the sky and earth, the scene was extremely awe-inspiring, and even title-level experts felt their own insignificance in front of it.
The black vortex led to the deepest part of the mountain source.
"What a strong wind." Even standing on Black Wind Cliff, Dongbo Xueying felt as if thousands of pounds of force were acting on his body at any moment, and the stronger the wind, the closer he got to the edge, the more intense the wind, even exceeding ten thousand pounds, only title-level experts could stand steadily on Black Wind Cliff. Even Silver Moon Knights, whose strength far exceeded ten thousand pounds, would be unable to stand steady in such a gale, and might even be swept into the Black Wind Abyss.
"Ha ha, Xiang Pangyun, do you dare to fight a life-or-death battle with me on Black Wind Cliff?" Dongbo Xueying held the Flying Snow Divine Spear, staring at Xiang Pangyun, who had also ascended.
Xiang Pangyun looked at the surroundings, his expression grim.
They could both stand steadily on Black Wind Cliff, but once they engaged in a life-or-death battle, with high-speed movement and the force of weapon collisions, they might be accidentally thrown off Black Wind Cliff. Once they were airborne, the thousand pounds of force from the power of the earth and sky would be no match for the gale of the Black Wind Abyss, and they would be swept in.
"You know the power of the Black Wind Abyss, a place of certain death with a history of hundreds of thousands of years. Once you fall in, extraordinary beings might survive, but title-level experts! Although many title-level experts have explored it over the past hundreds of thousands of years, none who entered the depths have come out alive." Dongbo Xueying said.
Below the extraordinary level, those who dared to delve deep all died!
Of course, there might be unknown survivors, but at least in the public records, no one has come out alive, which shows how dangerous and terrifying it is.
"Extraordinary beings have also said that the Black Wind Abyss, with its powerful black wind vortex, once you are swept in, you will continuously fall, the speed increasing, and title-level experts will be crushed to death!" Dongbo Xueying continued to describe these terrifying dangers, hoping to make Xiang Pangyun wary.
Indeed, it is so.
Under normal circumstances, title-level experts cannot be killed by falling from a great height! But in the Black Wind Abyss, once you are swept in, the wind is extremely strong, and the falling speed will increase, quickly exceeding the speed of sound, reaching an extremely terrifying speed. Title-level experts cannot slow down, and the power of the earth and sky is useless in the depths of the black wind vortex. Once they collide with the bottom of the abyss, title-level experts will be directly crushed to death!
So, even the first stage is hard to survive, those who explored usually slowly descended along the cliff wall, unless they retreated halfway, those who dared to delve deep all died. Clearly, the danger of the Black Wind Abyss is far more than just the strong wind.
"You are very good." Xiang Pangyun's blood-red eyes were full of killing intent, "Very good, I, Xiang Pangyun, have not been forced to this extent for a very long time, not since I was young and my strength was weaker when facing such danger."
"But I have already lived for over a hundred years, what if I die? Ha ha..."
"Moreover, as an assassin, I have never feared death! Today, I will fight you, Dongbo Xueying, on Black Wind Cliff, and see who will die!" Xiang Pangyun began to walk toward Dongbo Xueying, starting very slowly, then gradually speeding up, clearly adapting to the influence of the strong wind.
The power of the earth and sky of both still collided.
But this power of the earth and sky seemed so weak in the strong wind.
"Truly courageous." Dongbo Xueying's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, "Then let's see who will live and who will die!"
This was the only place he could think of to have a chance of survival.
After all, even if he fled, he couldn't go very far. Xiang Pangyun was always pursuing and fighting, and he could only escape within a range of one to two hundred miles. Fleeing to 'Yishui City'? For Xiang Pangyun and Dongbo Xueying, Yishui City posed no threat at all. Heading deeper into the Ruin Mountains? But Snowstone Castle was nearly a thousand miles from the outer edge of the Ruin Mountains, and even further from the depths, and his strength and bloodline burst couldn't last that long!
Black Wind Cliff was the only place he could think of, a place of extreme danger.
If Xiang Pangyun knew the difficulty and was unwilling to risk his life, that would be best.
If Xiang Pangyun really continued to fight, and they clashed, one of them might be accidentally swept into the Black Wind Abyss!
The external factors here were more influential, giving him a chance of survival!
"Kill!" Xiang Pangyun moved, instantly darting forward, crouching and slashing horizontally at Dongbo Xueying's legs with his war knife.
"Clang."
The long spear immediately blocked, and he tried to retreat to dissipate the force.
The force of the weapon collision was particularly strong, and with the sweeping wind, he involuntarily retreated quickly, even losing his footing, and was about to be swept into the Black Wind Abyss. Dongbo Xueying immediately flicked his long spear, and it stabbed into the ground, instantly using the force to bounce away.
"Indeed, fighting on Black Wind Cliff is completely different." Dongbo Xueying was secretly alarmed. He knew how dangerous it was and was mentally prepared, but he had never fought here before.
"Dongbo Xueying, in terms of combat experience, I am far more experienced than you." Xiang Pangyun grinned and continued to attack.
On the summit of Black Wind Cliff, in the strong wind, the two began a fierce battle.
Boom.
Xiang Pangyun was forced to retreat, and he also used the force of his knife to cut into the mountain rock, then continued to madly attack Dongbo Xueying.
Dongbo Xueying once thrust his long spear upward, trying to send Xiang Pangyun into the air so he couldn't use the force and would be swept into the abyss. But Xiang Pangyun didn't engage, as he had the upper hand and the initiative.
Both were desperately trying to kill each other, and the summit of Black Wind Cliff was filled with cracks and ravines, with large amounts of rocks being thrown into the depths of the Black Wind Abyss by the endless gale.
