Chapter 58: Devouring Feng Xiong
As he darted out of Wind Wolf Town at full speed, Feng Xiong’s heart was filled with rage and unwillingness.
'How was I discovered? How could this have happened?'
He understood that the High Priest had exiled him in order to save his life. If he had continued to fight with that seventh-order Flash Leopard, he would have undoubtedly died. And worst of all was that the opponent had caught him red-handed.
His only option now was to flee. No matter how fast the Flash Leopard was, he couldn't be more familiar with the area than Feng Xiong. Moreover, with the blessing of the wind element, he could sprint for a long distance, possibly even faster than the Flash Leopard. The wind element could also conceal his bloodline aura.
However, he could feel the bloodline power, previously stimulated to the sixth order, gradually waning. The pain from his wounds was persistent, and although he hadn't lost much blood, he was still affected. But he couldn't stop under any circumstances; he had to escape from here quickly. Only then could he stay alive.
With all his might, he accelerated and dashed into the forest. Feng Xiong's plan was simple: head to the Wind Spirit Stone mine, where there was a tunnel. It had been excavated precisely as a contingency plan, and the construction was overseen by the High Priest herself.
Within that tunnel, there were many forks, like a labyrinth. Feng Xiong would be safe if he could reach the Wind Spirit Stone mine and enter the tunnel. The wind element of the Wind Spirit Stones could also better hide his presence.
Just as Feng Xiong was confident of his direction and preparing to head to the Wind Spirit Stone mine, a sudden indescribable feeling struck him. He instantly stopped.
A streak of green light flashed in front of it like lightning. Had Feng Xiong not slowed down just then, the light would have sliced right across his throat.
"Who's there?" Feng Xiong roared.
Wind blade, that was a wind blade! Could it be that someone from the Wind Wolf Clan is ambushing me?
From behind a large tree, a figure slowly emerged. The small, slender figure surprised Feng Xiong.
It was a human.
A human? And such a young one?
Feng Xiong didn't even recognize the child, but he assumed that he was a vassal of the clan from somewhere.
Yes, the one blocking its path was none other than Tang San!
Tang San mumbled to himself, “Yep, fifty breaths should be enough. Twenty breaths to kill him and a bit of time left for devouring. Time is tight, but it should be sufficient.”
While speaking, his hands were already in motion. Under Feng Xiong's shocked gaze, streaks of emerald-green wind blades were rapidly unleashed, each over a foot wide. A total of eighteen wind blades flew into the air unrestrained.
Unlike the usually quiet blades that Tang San used, these ones produced a shrill whistling sound. The wind element in the air seemed to respond to the call of the wind blades, rapidly converging into them.
In the eyes of the young man, Feng Xiong saw a glimmer of golden-purple light.
He let out an angry wolf howl and suddenly accelerated. At this moment, his cultivation had not only fallen back from the sixth to the fifth order, but it even felt weaker than usual due to the bloodline stimulation he had gone through.
Of course, Feng Xiong wasn't afraid of the human boy before him, but even a small obstruction could prove to be fatal when his pursuer was a seventh-order Flash Leopard.
Thus, Feng Xiong’s instinctive response was to seek a quick and decisive battle.
A burst of green light shot out from behind Feng Xiong, and for a moment, every strand of his fur seemed to turn emerald green. With a fierce gleam in its eyes, the former Lord of Wind Wolf Town charged directly at Tang San, ignoring the eighteen wind blades that seemed to scatter aimlessly in the air.
As the Lord of Wind Wolf Town, born with the innate talent of wind blade, he had a strong resistance to the wind element.
Feng Xiong wasn't apprehensive about the attack of these wind blades. Even if they could harm him, the damage wouldn’t be anything major.
Its sole thought now was to quickly kill this human boy and then escape as fast as possible. At this moment, it didn't even have the time to ponder how a human boy could unleash so many wind blades without even undergoing the Wind Wolf Transformation.
Watching Feng Xiong charge directly at him, there was a hint of disdain on Tang San’s face while his eyes filled with loathing.
His mother in this world had died at the hands of this fucker and the High Priest. Tang San admitted he couldn't handle the sixth-order High Priest. Still, he was confident dealing with a seriously injured fifth-order Wind Wolf whose bloodline power was rapidly weakening.
He could clearly sense Feng Xiong’s bloodline aura changes through his Discerning Eye. He had followed the wolf demon all this way and chosen to make his move here because he had the confidence to pull through.
Facing Feng Xiong's direct charge, Tang San didn't evade. Instead, he met the attack head-on. His body flashed with a yellow light, and in an instant, he crossed a distance of twenty meters, appearing right in front of Feng Xiong before the latter had even moved five meters.
Leopard Flash!
This was the first time Tang San was using the Leopard Flash in actual combat after enhancing it to the fourth order.
Feng Xiong's eyes were filled with disbelief. It couldn't understand how a human could use both the Wind Blade and the Leopard Flash.
And then a fist enlarged in its vision.
With a loud thud, Tang San’s punch landed savagely on Feng Xiong’s eye.
The momentum of the lunge came to an abrupt halt, but a pair of wolf claws still reached out to Tang San. At the same time, wind energy burst forth from Feng Xiong's body, attempting to push Tang San away.
The light in Tang San's eyes flared, and as Feng Xiong released wind energy, a flash of purple light sparkled in Tang San's eyes.
Feng Xiong felt a sharp pain in his brain, and the wind energy he had just released instantly dispersed.
Under normal circumstances, with its bloodline talent, even if Tang San used his abilities with the Discerning Eye, it would have been impossible for him to wrest control of the wind element from Feng Xiong. After all, the bloodline talents of the demon race granted significant control over the elements, not to mention the gap in cultivation levels.
However, when Feng Xiong’s brain was impacted, it could no longer control the wind. Under Tang San's influence, the energy swiftly dispersed.
In that moment of daze, the eighteen wind blades had already returned, whistling through the air.
Hundred Birds Homing Strike!
All these wind blades relentlessly struck Feng Xiong in the back of the neck, one less than a tenth of a second after the other!
The surface of Feng Xiong's fur kept flickering with a green light as it tried to resist the invasion of the wind elemental energy. But the relentless attacks were too much to withstand.
Meanwhile, Tang San's hands firmly grasped the wolf demon’s front paws.
Just as Feng Xiong regained consciousness, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He struggled to protect himself but found his front paws immobilized, as if cast in bronze and iron, unable to break free.
In terms of physical strength, even if Tang San reached the fifth order, without any unique enhancement, it would be difficult for him to compete with a demon of the same order. After all, the demons had formidable physical strength to begin with, and their bloodline abilities only improved that strength.
However, he didn't need to control Feng Xiong for too long. With the Mysterious Jade Hands combined with the Ironhide Shield of the Rhino Clan, he had no problem holding onto the wolf demon’s limbs for a short time. Moreover, the Mysterious Heaven Technique was already activated from the first moment, and Tang San’s energy forcefully devoured the bloodline energy of Feng Xiong.
When the first surge of Feng Xiong's bloodline energy entered Tang San's body, he instantly felt a difference.
The bloodline energy of Feng Xiong was much purer than any Wind Wolf bloodline he had devoured before, and the energy was incredibly refined. So refined, in fact, that just as he began to devour it, the Wind Wolf bloodline imprint inside him instantly burst out with a dazzling emerald-green light, casting a faint green halo over Tang San.
Thud! Thud!
A series of dull cutting sounds echoed as wind blade after wind blade struck Feng Xiong.
