The Desolate Era
22

The flames on the fur of the Azure Firebird swirled around it as it flew in the sky, a desolate wind howling past it as it chased after the gigantic scaly and winged snake.

Behind the Azure Firebird were two figures who were half-kneeling each; ji Yichuan, and that black-clothed woman. The black-clothed woman looked at the fleeing Serpentwing quickly. Yichuan, this Serpentwing is a late stage Xiantian level Diremonster. It's a little stronger than my Azure Firebird. Although the Azure Firebird was good at long-haul flights, it would still be difficult to catch up to it.

“Mrs Flowers, I'll handle this.” Yichuan's face was ice cold. From within his hand, a large silver bow suddenly appeared out of nowhere, while in his left hand was an arrow.

Hua.

The bow is fully retracted. Yichuan stared coldly at the fleeing Serpentwing.

“Desir!” The arrow suddenly turned into a ray of light, darting towards the fleeing Serpentwing. At such a short distance, the terrifying speed at which Yichuan had launched this arrow, combined with the massive body of the Serpentwing, meant there was no way he could dodge it.

In terms of pure archery skills, Yichuan might lose to Blindfish.

But most of the men from the Ji clan are skilled in archery, and Yichuan's arrows in terms of speed, are even faster than Blindfish!

Bang out!

The arrow hit Serpentwing's body, then instantly exploded, creating an enormous bloody hole. A huge wound that revealed bones was visible on the snake's body, and it seemed like with just one more arrow, this snake would completely explode from within. In fact, Yichuan's arrow had been pointed at those skinny wings. But Serpentwing knew once his scales, his thin wings were injured, he would not be able to escape. So, he had used his own snake body to block the arrow instead.

“Kresek ...” The flesh on the body of the snake quickly closes, and the blood stops flowing.

Serpentwing continued to flee wildly.

Yichuan, your Ji clan killed my son. Could it be that you won't let me take revenge? Serpentwing shouted backwards.

Vermin, if you allow yourself to die quietly, I will let you die quickly. Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it. Half-kneeling behind the Azure Firebird, Yichuan once again pulled the silver great bow.

Serpentwing hurriedly moved to dodge.

Bang out!

Yet another arrow struck Serpentwing's body. Serpentwing howled in pain, and his heart panicked. Yichuan was the number one expert of the Ji clan in Western Prefecture, right, but how could he be this strong? Previously, from a distance of two kilometers, the flash of Yichuan's sword was still strong enough to severely injure me. And now, one arrow can hurt me. Even a peak Xiantian-level Diremonster is only the most capable of holding me back; there is no way someone can destroy me so easily!

The bravery of the Serpentwing had been completely shattered by the flash of the sword earlier.

A flash of sword that could severely injure him despite coming from a distance of over two kilometers.

If it was executed at a closer distance, wouldn't it kill him in a single blow?

“Desir!” “Desir!” “Desir!” Yichuan shot arrows one after another, and Serpentwing could only grit his teeth and use his body to block it. Fortunately, his huge body was hundreds of meters long. Although his huge body now had more than ten huge craters in it, given his powerful life force, he was still able to sustain high-speed flight.

Soon, the vast expanse of earth below gave way to a vast lake.

Huh! Serpentwing immediately charged downwards.

Serpentwing Lake. The faces of Yichuan and the black-clothed woman changed.

Serpentwing Lake was over a hundred kilometers long. One could not even see the tip of the danaudan any more, it was a Serpentwing nest.

hua

The enormous serpentwing fell from the sky, diving into the lake. Several large waves appeared, but the creature itself had disappeared.

As for the Azure Firebird, it continued to soar in the air above Serpentwing Lake.

“Yichuan, what should we do?” The woman in black asked.

Escape? Yichuan stood behind the Azure Firebird, staring at the huge lake. He said coldly, He thinks that just because he is hiding in the water, I won't be able to do anything to him? Lady Flower, lend me the Azure Firebird for now. I want to trouble you, Miss Flower, to immediately return to the Western Prefecture.and have my spirit beast, the snake, come.

“Good.” The black-clothed woman nodded.

Swish!

The black-clothed woman turned into a beam of light, flashed across the surface of the lake, then disappeared into the distance.

.

The depths of Serpentwing Lake.

The snake's enormous wings lay coiled at the bottom, occasionally licking some of its large wounds with its tongue. His enormous life force and regenerative power caused his wounds to quickly grow stronger, and his flesh seemed to grow back and elongate.

Ji Yichuan's. Serpentwing's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could he be this strong? That Ji Lee was the number two expert of the Ji clan in the Western Prefecture. In the past, when we fought against each other, he only had a slight advantage over me.but most likely, if this Yichuan was allowed to get close to me, he would be able to kill me with a single blow of his sword. How can the difference be this big?

Before this, Serpentwing was confident in his ability to escape. As he looked at it, he was a late stage Xiantian level Diremonster. Even if he were to encounter a terrifying peak Xiantian level beast .. he would at the very least be harmed. He can still escape. As long as he was not attacked by the entire Xiantian life form group, he should be fine.

But that Yichuan sword scared him.

Groooowls.

Gaaaaah!

The monsters within Serpentwing Lake all started howling loudly. This sound instantly caused a huge shock to Serpentwing, deep within the waters of the lake. He could understand that horrible cry.

“Diremonster has come?” Serpentwing was shocked. True, one of the Diremonsters that the Ji clan had from Western Prefecture was a water-type Diremonster.

The other is the water type, very strong in the water.

Some non-water races, upon entering the water, would see their strength drop! For example, Yichuandi in water, his speed might be less than one-tenth of his usual speed. But in the water, Serpentwing will be faster than on land! Even if Yichuan used his sword technique, with the water blocking him, the strength of his technique would also be much lower.

Of course, although the strength of Yichuan's sword technique would be greatly reduced, he could still kill Serpentwing! The problem was that in the water, he would not be able to catch Serpentwing. No matter how powerful his sword technique was, it would be useless.

.

“Black Brothers, go find and find that Serpentwing.” Yichuan stood on the surface of the lake, but did not sink at all. Even though he is stronger than you, he is seriously injured. Moreover, after finding it, you just need to tie it up for a while and prevent it from escaping. I'll attack and kill him immediately.

“Give me.” The circular black snake nodded on the surface of the lake, then immediately submerged its entire body into the depths, starting to search within the Serpentwing Lake.

The lesser monsters in the lake all fled in all directions, screaming in fear.

The Blue Fire Bird. Yichuan looked at the Azure Firebird on it. Stay there and watch. After Serpentwing escaped from the lake, immediately chase and kill him.

“Good.” Azure Firebird spoke in a soft voice, then rose up at high speed.

Yichuan's face was grim. Holding his blue long sword, he paced on the surface of the lake as if it was flat ground. Step by step, he walked over, leaving faint ripples on the surface. His cold gaze stared at his surroundings, as if he could see straight through the lake water to the depths of the lake.

..

The Western Prefecture of the Ji clan.

It was already dark by now, and the commotion caused by the Serpentwing attack on the Western Prefecture of the Ji clan had died down as well.

“Dad.” Ji Jadewich, his hair split into dozens of braids, sat on his knees. After finishing all the wine in his beast skull trophy, he said, The snake wings, the Diremonster, have escaped back to its nest. The Serpentwing Lake was huge, and so deep that its base could not be seen. If he decided to hide, a black snake searching for itself would be hard to find. Although Yichuan was extremely strong, it would still be very difficult for him to kill that Serpentwing.

Lee nodded, but he frowned. He had not touched the wine or meat in front of him. Obviously, he was frustrated by something.

“Dad?” Jadewich looked at his father with question marks.

Frowning, Lee sighed softly. His sword glint traveled over two kilometers, but was still able to injure Serpentwing, a Diremonster. That sword force had basically surpassed the limit that Xiantian sentient beings could reach.

“Dad, you mean say ..” Jadewich surprised. “Murid Zifu?”

Lee shook his head. “It's hard to say! If Yichuan had opened his Zifu, ‘Violet’ Palace, then he should have been able to fly with the magic treasure. He would not just stand there and watch as the Serpentwing, who had nearly killed his son, turned around and fled. But if he hadn't opened Zifu-yak the power of his sword attack would still be enormous. So, I felt confused and could not understand it.

“Also!”

“I saw that Ji Ning's arm was cut off, but in the blink of an eye, by the time the dust had settled and I rushed there, Ning was really fine.” Lee frowned.

Many Xiantian level people had seen Ning's severed arm lying in the rubble.

“Ji Yichuan's Son, Ji Ning, should practice in a kind of Body Refining Fiendgod.” Jadewich. Moreover, he had reached an extremely high level, for him to be able to reconnect the severed arm. Merely, I was at a loss as to how Ning was able to survive the Serpentwing attack on Dragon Castle?

I don't understand either. Lee sighed. I think he's lucky.

Why did Ning survive?

Maybe because Serpentwing knew who Ning was and was therefore afraid of killing him.

Perhaps it was because Ning had a strong life force as a Fiendgod Body Refiner and was thus fortunately able to endure.

Maybe it was because Ning had some kind of protective treasure given to her by her parents.

The experts from the Ji clan of the Western Prefecture were all in a hurry, guessing the reason, for that, but none of them suspected that Ning who was only ten years old had reached the level of ‘one with dunia’ in terms of footwork.

Ning was currently in the middle of his training area, displaying his Shadewind Steps. On a training field hundreds of meters wide, a blurred form moved at high speed. As it happened ... Shua! Shua! Shua! Dozens of Ning appeared out of nowhere.

“Ning.” A voice sounded.

Ning immediately stopped.

“Mother.” Ning immediately went to greet him.

Yuchi Snow slowly walked over, filled with excitement as he looked at his son. After suffering the Serpentwing attack, at noon, the Ji clan had prepared a series of cremation ceremonies and memorials for the black armored riders who had died and the clan members who were killed during the attack. At that time, Ning secretly told her mother that her footwork had reached the level of ‘one with dunia’. But of course, his mother was the only one he told!

At the age of ten, he has reached the footwork level of ‘one with dunia’. Snow had visited many areas in the Grand Xia Dynasty, but he had almost never seen someone as terrifying as this. In fact, since Ning had used the [Nuwa Painting] visualization technique since birth, her soul was extremely powerful. Moreover, he had trained with great difficulty in the [Wind Shadow Steps] since he was young, and thus reached the level of ‘forward’ two years ago. At the moment where life and death hang in the balance, he could suddenly feel the world and reach the level of ‘one with dunia’. It is nothing more than success that comes naturally when the conditions are right.

“Ning.” Snow looked at his son. Your leg work has reached the level of ‘one with dunia’. The next step is to make your sword technique also be ‘one with dunia’. Don't let your guard down.

“Ya mother.” Ning nodded.

To have footwork at the level of ‘one with dunia’ means that the man becomes one with the world.

But a sword is at level ‘one with dunia’ means man, sword, and world become one. Naturally, it was much more difficult.

“Mother.” Ning asked. When will Dad be back?

Your father went to kill the Diremonster. After killing Serpentwing, he would go home, of course.
