Chapter 462: Footwork Advancement

Chapter 462: Footwork Advancement

The devil wind beasts occupied a large territory. After all, any place with the power of wind was a suitable habitat for the devil wind beasts. At present, the geniuses were searching for the yin devil wind all over the territory.

Naturally, in the course of their search, they had encountered a large number of devil wind beasts. They were forced to fight without stop, all for the sake of obtaining the yin devil wind. However, the yin devil wind had always been something that never remained at a fixed spot. Locating it wouldn’t be easy.

Xiang Shaoyun was also rushing around in search of the yin devil wind. After recovering his strength, he had been moving around the devil wind beast territory like a fish back in water. While searching for the yin devil wind, he was also cultivating the power of wind, trying to increase his speed as much as possible.

After some testing, his speed when using the power of wind had increased by about 30 percent, reaching mid-stage of moving like the wind. Perhaps a spark of inspiration was all he needed to advance one step further in his footwork intent cultivation.

During the past three days, he had slain a considerable number of devil wind beasts and harvested a decent number of devil cores. He would directly absorb the power within these devil cores whenever he obtained one. While absorbing the power of the devil cores, he could both grow his strength and gain some comprehension on the way the devil wind beasts utilized the wind.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a devil wind beast shot out from a bush. Using the power of wind, it instantly arrived behind Xiang Shaoyun and opened its mouth wide, trying to devour him. Xiang Shaoyun dodged to the side as if he had a pair of eyes on the back of his head. He reappeared at the beast’s flank and threw a lightning punch powered by his domineering innate purple lightning, blasting the beast apart.

Blood splashed everywhere while a brand new devil core appeared in Xiang Shaoyun’s palm. He quickly refined the core, and as his aura grew, he thought, Others would only dare to absorb the power of a devil core after purifying the devilish energy within, only getting a third or less of the core’s power. I might not be able to get all the power absorbing it directly like this, but I can still get at least half of it. If this continues, I will be able to reach the peak of the fourth stage before long. Looks like the Devil Domain is a heaven for me! 

Anyone would be utterly shocked to know what Xiang Shaoyun was thinking. The Devil Domain was akin to a hell filled with powerful devils. An ordinary person would be weakened after entering, and they could easily die. As for Xiang Shaoyun, this was a heaven where he could quickly grow in strength. It was definitely something inconceivable for many people.

Then again, that was understandable since Xiang Shaoyun did not need to fear the devilish energy. That alone separated him from everyone else. He was about to continue moving when he threw the beast corpse one last glance. He stopped and burned the corpse.

During the burning process, he could see the devil wind beast’s blood essence seeping out of the corpse. He hesitated for a bit before gathering the blood essence in his hand. After giving it some thought, he swallowed the blood essence.

When Xiang Shaoyun had first arrived, he had purchased a bottle of devil wind beast. The peddler had claimed that the devil blood belonged to a high-level devil. In any case, that bottle of blood had indeed formed some sort of resonance with him.

Presently, he was consuming the devil wind beast’s blood essence as he was trying to figure out if his blood would react to the blood of any devil. But after consuming the blood essence, his blood started vibrating at a certain frequency before expelling the blood essence instead of fusing with it.

After Xiang Shaoyun witnessed that with his inner gaze, he sighed, Looks like only the blood essence of devils with similar bloodlines to mine can be assimilated into my blood. 

He stopped thinking about it and continued heading deeper into the devil wind beast territory. He was confident the yin devil wind was somewhere in there. After all, the deeper he went, the stronger the wind. Even now, his clothes were already completely disheveled due to the wind. In fact, the wind was strong enough to directly blow an ordinary cultivator away.

Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush. Instead, he traveled at a steady pace while sensing the flow of air in his surroundings and comprehending the profundity of wind. He had been doing this daily without fail for the past few days. Only by quickly comprehending the essence of the power of wind would he be able to borrow the wind here to improve his footwork intent.

With the gift of instincts, Xiang Shaoyun could see the flow of air clearly. Every step he took was in accordance with the movement of the wind. Eventually, without realizing it, he was already capable of crossing 100 meters with a single step even without using any astral energy.

“Powering a footwork technique with wind energy is capable of enhancing the footwork. Similarly, moving in accordance to the wind and borrowing the might of the wind will also enhance the footwork. But this is far from enough. Only by drifting alongside the wind and becoming one with it will I be able to achieve an even faster speed.” Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have comprehended something major.

Before long, his movement speed became even faster, as if he had completely blended into the wind. The devil wind beasts in the area tried to chase after Xiang Shaoyun when they saw him, but their speed was completely not his match. That drove them mad with anger.

In terms of speed, they were akin to specters in their own territory. They had always been the ones to easily escape or catch up to others. But now, they couldn’t even match the speed of a fourth-stage King. That filled them with fury.

Xiang Shaoyun had reached mid-stage of moving like the wind. His speed was naturally much faster than before. Since he was now fast enough to leave ordinary devil wind beast kings far behind him, he could no longer be bothered with fighting them. He was better off focusing on his search for the yin devil wind.

When he activated his gift of instincts once again, his newly gained comprehension of the power of wind allowed him to vaguely sense an eye of a storm somewhere. As he approached, he started sensing others in the vicinity.

The people in their group were all geniuses. It wasn’t surprising that they could locate this place. When Xiang Shaoyun drew near, he withdrew his aura and expanded his Nether Soul Domain and gift of instincts.

Soon, he was able to see clearly what was happening ahead of him. An intense battle was happening, and apart from the people that had arrived with Yu Caidie, Yu Ziyi’s people were also on the battlefield.

“It’s Jin Shui, Ling Lin, and the others.” Xiang Shaoyun was able to recognize a few of his previous companions.

They were Jin Shui from the Golden Horn Sect, Ling Lin from the Ling Clan, and a few others whose names he couldn’t remember. There were four of them in total, and they were currently battling seven people from Yu Ziyi’s group. They were obviously at a disadvantage.

The people from Yu Ziyi’s group were attacking mercilessly, determined to kill the people before them. Soon, the two whose names Xiang Shaoyun couldn’t remember were killed. That was unsurprising since they were among the weakest in Yu Caidie’s group.

Looks like Caidie’s cousin is quite a ruthless person, thought Xiang Shaoyun as he rushed over to assist Jin Shui and Ling Lin.
