Blackwind Cliff was too high, piercing through the cloud layer.
Above the clouds, the black moon centipede was hovering, and on its back, the mage Bai Yuanzhi, Qing Shi, Zong Ling, Tong San, Kong Youyue, Ji Rong, Si Chen, and others were all nervously watching the battle below.
"Blackwind Cliff, they are actually deciding life and death on Blackwind Cliff!" Bai Yuanzhi exclaimed.
Next to Blackwind Cliff was the 'Blackwind Abyss,' above which was a massive black wind vortex. The enormous vortex stirred up endless gales, as if the heavens and earth were trembling and twisting. This power made them all feel a bit afraid.
Amidst the howling black winds, two figures were fiercely battling on the cliff.
"They are in great danger now. Once they leave the ground and have no support, they will be sucked into the Blackwind Abyss," Bai Yuanzhi said. "If they are sucked into the Blackwind Abyss... we mortals are sure to die. Probably only extraordinary beings can survive."
"Why is Xiang Pangyun chasing my brother so relentlessly!" Qing Shi was trembling with anxiety. "Isn't he trying to kill me? My brother has no grudge against him. Why is he risking his life to fight my brother on Blackwind Cliff?"
"Yes."
Bai Yuanzhi shook his head. "It's fine to chase and kill, but Blackwind Cliff is indeed very dangerous. Xiang Pangyun still doesn't give up... sigh, no wonder they all say he's a madman, taking pleasure in killing! His thinking is different from ours. Perhaps to him, your brother is the best prey."
"Damn, damn, why is this happening." Qing Shi anxiously watched the black-clothed youth using a long spear among the two figures battling below. That was his brother, his most important relative.
...
Time passed minute by minute.
Dongbo Xueying was walking on the edge of life and death. He even deliberately moved closer to the edge of Blackwind Cliff, making Xiang Pangyun more cautious.
Peng!
After one exchange, they separated. Xiang Pangyun did not continue his attack but stared intently at Dongbo Xueying.
"Your battle aura hasn't been exhausted yet?" Xiang Pangyun was somewhat unwilling.
"What, is your battle aura almost gone? I said it, you've been using your secret battle aura technique all this time, it should be almost gone by now." Dongbo Xueying's eyes were somewhat excited. He had succeeded. By using the dangerous environment of Blackwind Cliff, he made Xiang Pangyun always have reservations, allowing him to last longer. Over time, both were in a state of explosive power.
Xiang Pangyun used the secret battle aura technique, which drastically increased the consumption of battle aura. Dongbo Xueying also burst with his power and bloodline, continuously consuming his stamina.
Although the power of heaven and earth replenished, it couldn't keep up with the consumption.
Finally, Xiang Pangyun's battle aura was almost exhausted!
This sliver of hope, he finally grasped it!
"How can your battle aura be more than mine?" Xiang Pangyun couldn't believe it. He had lived for a long time, and his battle aura cultivation had reached the pinnacle below the Extraordinary level. His method was taught to him by his 'father.' Logically, it was rare for someone at the Title level to have more battle aura than him, let alone a young guy who had just entered the Title level not long ago.
He didn't know.
Dongbo Xueying was consuming his stamina! In terms of endurance, it was clearly longer than the burst of battle aura.
"Your battle aura is almost gone. If you continue to fight, you will die!" Dongbo Xueying stared at the other side. Xiang Pangyun was faster, and his battle aura still had some left. If he fled now... he could easily escape far away.
"Dongbo Xueying."
Xiang Pangyun showed no panic. His blood-red eyes looked at the black-clothed youth in front of him. "I admire you. You are only twenty-two years old, and you can achieve harmony with heaven and earth, and your power is perfectly complete! You can even fight me to this extent. In terms of strength, although you are weaker than me and Si Lianghong, you are still enough to rank in the top thousand on the Longshan List."
"At twenty-two, you are already so remarkable. You have a long life ahead to strive, and you have a high chance of entering the Extraordinary realm in the future."
"Once you enter the Extraordinary realm... that is another level of life."
Dongbo Xueying felt something was wrong.
That's not right.
Logically, if his battle aura was almost gone, Xiang Pangyun should either continue attacking or immediately retreat. Why is he talking nonsense?
"Killing a future Extraordinary, this is a great achievement!" Xiang Pangyun suddenly grinned, and his entire body began to change, rapidly expanding. His skin surface was covered with a large number of black scales... in almost an instant, Xiang Pangyun transformed into a four-legged black beast over ten meters long.
The four-legged beast had a pair of scaly wings, and its eyes were blood-red. The black scales on its body had a faint blood color flowing over them, mysterious and unpredictable, emitting a powerful aura that made Dongbo Xueying feel a great threat.
Its body was six meters tall.
Such a towering magical beast appearing in front of him completely stunned Dongbo Xueying.
"Magical... beast?"
"You are not human!" Dongbo Xueying couldn't believe it. "A magical beast, or a special type of magical beast?"
He almost instantly determined.
The one in front of him was a terrifying sixth-stage magical beast! And it was a special type!
A sixth-stage magical beast, in terms of strength, was equivalent to the Title level! Normal magical beasts were well-documented in human books and could be easily recognized. 'Special types' represented some very special magical beasts that were not even recorded in books, awakened with ancient bloodlines.
In the ancient era, there were giants and beasts.
So among magical beasts, there were also extremely rare ones that could awaken ancient bloodlines. Unlike humans, who relied more on battle aura, magical beasts mainly relied on their bodies, so special types of magical beasts with awakened ancient bloodlines were very terrifying.
"Hmm." The four-legged black-scaled magical beast's blood-red eyes were full of madness.
It was granted a human body by its 'father.'
Then it integrated into the human world...
Human mortals, even at the Title level, could not exceed 200 years of life, unless they had special conditions like Si Lianghong, who transformed into a blood demon. He had lived in the human world for over a hundred years under the name 'Xiang Pangyun.' Even if he didn't expose himself, he would have to retire and return in a few years.
This time, the Wind Demon accepted the mission.
Actually, Xiang Pangyun was disdainful of getting involved, but when he heard from the Blood Blade Tavern's mission information that 'Dongbo Xueying' might be a Title-level expert, he was moved! At twenty-two, so young, the Blood Blade Tavern wouldn't make false claims. If Dongbo Xueying was indeed a Title-level expert, he had a high chance of becoming Extraordinary in the future.
Killing such a genius would definitely be a great achievement! Greater than killing ten or twenty other Title-level experts, so Xiang Pangyun followed voluntarily.
The reality was even more astonishing than he expected.
This Dongbo Xueying, not only achieved harmony with heaven and earth, but his power was also perfectly complete, and his strength had even reached a level close to his. Such a terrifying and extraordinary individual was rare in the entire Longshan Empire. Could he give up such a great achievement?
So he would do everything to kill Dongbo Xueying!
From the very beginning!
He followed, and his goal was this human genius.
"Dongbo Xueying, die!" The four-legged black-scaled beast instantly charged.
"Actually a special type of magical beast." Dongbo Xueying knew it was bad and immediately moved, striking with lightning speed.
The four-legged black-scaled beast didn't care at all. It let the strike hit its chest scales, which cracked but didn't completely penetrate! The scales on its body were layered, and it would probably take piercing through two or three layers to reach its body.
"Whoosh." The four-legged black-scaled beast's sharp claws came directly at him.
Its four legs were over three meters long, thick and powerful, with sharp claws like blades. The two front claws came together, with overwhelming power.
Dongbo Xueying barely managed to dodge on the ground.
"Its strength is even greater in its beast form!" Dongbo Xueying felt a sense of despair. The gap was too large. The special type of magical beast 'Xiang Pangyun' had extremely high scale defense, and his long spear couldn't penetrate it. If Xiang Pangyun was around 500th on the Longshan List in human form, he was probably in the top 100 or 200 now.
This was normal.
Magical beasts, of course, were stronger in their true form. Human bodies were relatively weaker.
"Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh."
The four-legged black-scaled beast 'Xiang Pangyun' made three lightning-fast pounces. How powerful was the force of its scaly wings? If it flew, its speed could easily break the sound barrier! A flying special type of magical beast naturally didn't care about the surrounding gales.
Fast and large, just three pounces, and Dongbo Xueying couldn't avoid the attack.
"Peng."
Although the long spear was held in front to block, the four-legged black-scaled beast's hoof struck the spear, still sending Dongbo Xueying flying backward.
"Stop!" Dongbo Xueying flew backward and desperately thrust the spear into the ground. The spear pierced the rock over a meter deep, and although cracks appeared around it, Dongbo Xueying's flying body was stopped.
"Stop struggling, Dongbo Xueying!" The four-legged black-scaled beast was already charging at Dongbo Xueying again.
