Such terrifying wind force, how frighteningly resilient must this green vine be to hold onto the trunk and prevent it from flying away?
Not just the vine, but the fact that the main trunk isn’t splitting under these conditions is remarkable!
Moreover, on so of the green vegetation, there are green jade-colored fruits the size of a fist, which clearly aren’t ordinary items.
"Right, the fact that it can grow in this environnt already says a lot; this green tree must be a treasure all over..."
Xia Hong’s eyes flashed with excitent. Noticing that Zhu Yan ahead was moving slowly, he wasted no ti and headed directly towards the big tree.
...
"This Qingxun Treasure Tree, just one is worth millions of taels in silver; if I could chop and take a few back, I’d strike it rich!"
As Xia Hong lingered by the green tree in the rear, Zhu Yan two kiloters ahead was also intently watching the big tree, his eyes full of greed.
However, he quickly thought of sothing, shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze, and kept moving forward. But after just a few steps, his face showed so confusion.
"The wind force in this core area seems to be stronger than usual. This airflow must be close to 5 Jun, right?"
Did I feel it wrong?
Zhu Yan frowned, muttered a bit, and quickened his pace a little.
Whoosh...
But he had barely taken a hundred steps forward when a black burst of Inner Power was mixed in the wind, howling directly towards his face.
As the black energy ca at him, Zhu Yan’s pupils contracted sharply. He unleashed his full aura instantly and swiftly drew the Big Saber from his waist to block it.
Clang...
The black energy clashed with the saber, and Zhu Yan was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, tumbling five to sixty ters away.
Because he didn’t stabilize himself imdiately, he even spun several tis mid-air before he landed forcefully, then promptly raised his head to look around, his face full of shock and fear.
"I’ve already paid half of the passage fee. As soon as I leave Bone-Eroding Path, the other half will be paid imdiately. Why attack here?"
As Zhu Yan finished speaking, the fierce winds still raged around, with no response at all.
But he dared not press forward; he just stood in place, keeping a wary eye around, his face tense to the extre, clearly worried about that Black Wind attacking again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
After a few breaths, countless black airflows suddenly accelerated their speed, converging crazily above Zhu Yan at a hundred ters height.
The black airflows seed to gain life and soon ford into a six-ter-tall giant above his head.
That six-ter giant wore a black helt and armor, with dense black gas continuously emitting from those parts like the face, neck, and wrists which weren’t covered by armor, resembling an ancient Evil Spirit.
Just suspended mid-air, under the helt, a pair of ominous white pupils stared intently at Zhu Yan below. Despite not uttering a single word, Zhu Yan was already trembling slightly with fear.
Zhu Yan’s back was soaked with sweat, realizing the raging winds around were accelerating further, understanding the Black Wind General’s anger, he gritted his teeth, quickly lowered his Big Saber, clasped his hands, and bowed respectfully to the sky, speaking respectfully, "Adviser Zhu Yan of Cai Qiu Baisui County, pays respect to Black Wind General."
"Don’t forget the other half of the passage fee after leaving. Scram!"
A low, gruff voice suddenly ca from the Black Wind General. Zhu Yan shuddered with fear, and upon hearing the final word ’scram,’ he dared not show the slightest displeasure. He simply lowered his head and quickly headed north.
Whoosh...
As Zhu Yan retreated, the Black Wind General in mid-air slowly turned his head towards the south, his ominous white pupils narrowed slightly, and two streams of dense black gas suddenly spurted from his face.
About ten minutes later, another figure slowly approached from the south.
"The aura fluctuated a bit here, what’s going on?"
Xia Hong had already sensed Zhu Yan’s aura change, coming to where he had just been, looked around, and finding nothing but the Black Wind, he rely furrowed his brows slightly before continuing onward.
Whoosh...
He had barely taken two steps when his pupils suddenly narrowed. Quick as lightning, he drew the Shattered Star Sword from his waist, a fierce look crossing his face as he swung back hard.
Clang...
Though his sword had struck a black airflow, it produced a harsh clash like tal striking stone. Sothing was clearly hidden in the Black Wind; Xia Hong imdiately realized it.
Without hesitation, the Holy Pattern between his brows appeared suddenly, and a glint flashed in his left pupil as he held the drawn Shattered Star Sword, launching himself straight into the black mist.
Whiz...
The entity within the black mist clearly hadn’t expected Xia Hong to dare to strike at him first, nor had he expected him to locate his position accurately amidst the pervasive black mist.
Whoosh...
The Shattered Star Sword indeed made contact with sothing, leaving a long, fiery sword mark that appeared within the mist, only the fluid dripping from it wasn’t blood but even denser black gas.
"Audacious!"
A dull voice emanated from within the black mist, yet Xia Hong, who was twenty ters aloft, showed no hint of fear on his face. His left eye saw clearly that among the vast black fog, one area of the airflow was denser than the rest.
"Let’s see what kind of ghostly thing you are!"
With a cold shout, Xia Hong again rushed towards that mass of air, his Shattered Star Sword coated with Solidified Fire Oil, creating a long sword trail in the air, thrusting directly towards that black mist mass.
