469: Chapter 469: Fire Moves with the Wind 469: Chapter 469: Fire Moves with the Wind “In the realm of nature, energy generates wind, and wind is fleeting and elusive.
Young man, you need to contemplate this more deeply,” said the Sword Soul with great earnestness.
“The Art of War by Sun Tzu speaks of being swift as the wind, calm as the forest, aggressive as the fire, and immovable as the mountain.
These principles are, in fact, perfectly aligned with the Four Elents,” the Sword Soul continued.
“As the military doctrine states, the movents of the wind are hard to track and can be incredibly swift, thus…”
“Alright, Sword Soul, you’ve said so much, is there any effective thod at all?” Ye Shikai impatiently said.
With every step forward, the wind grew stronger, and Ye Shikai even had to use his Inner Strength to form a protective barrier; otherwise, Sally would have been blown away long ago.
“Um, you just need to focus and feel it now.”
Ye Shikai was ashad, as this was tantamount to saying nothing.
How could the Sword Soul be so unreliable at tis?
Ye Shikai closed his eyes.
At this mont, he needed to be calm and tranquil to see where the source of the wind was.
“Hades, I’ll help you stabilize the barrier.
You hurry up and find the Wind Elent,” said Sally at this mont, extending her hand to the protective shield and channeling her Inner Strength into it, allowing Ye Shikai to finally free up his hands.
“Hades, my Inner Strength is limited, I can’t maintain this for long, you must…
hurry up.” Sally quickly began to sweat from her forehead.
She was just an ordinary cultivator, and compared to Ye Shikai, who had utilized the Inner God Scripture, her Inner Strength was almost negligible…
“I’ll do it as quickly as possible,” Ye Shikai took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them wide.
“No good, I must feel the rhythm of the wind to find its source, or else I won’t be able to get the Wind Elent,” said Ye Shikai to Sally.
“You must leave the room now, and I will stay here alone.”
“That’s too dangerous; you’ll be blown away without the protective shield,” Sally shook her head, refusing and continued to output Inner Strength to stabilize the protective shield.
The violent wind battered the shield, and she showed a pained expression, as she was about to give out.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” After repeated requests from Ye Shikai, Sally had no choice but to leave the room.
………………..
“Bang.” Without the protection of the protective shield, Ye Shikai’s entire body was exposed to the fierce wind, his body flung about like a leaf and forcefully smashed against the stone wall.
“Bang.” Before he could stand up, a gust of wind from a different direction swept him up again, crashing him once more against the wall.
Ye Shikai was utterly frustrated.
If this continued, he would die from the beating before he could even find the Wind Elent…
No, he had to find a fulcrum, Ye Shikai thought to himself with a heavy sigh.
Suddenly, he rembered the Fire Elent in his Storage Ring and a bold idea erged in his mind.
“Here goes everything, succeed or die trying.” Ye Shikai activated his Inner Strength and took out the Fire Elent directly from his Storage Ring.
“Inner God Scripture, give it your all.” Ye Shikai circulated the Inner God Scripture, and the Inner Strength in his Dantian surged massively.
He extended his palm and channeled all his Inner Strength into the Fire Elent.
“Huff, huff.” From the Fire Elent, several balls of fla suddenly burst forth, gushing out like a spouting well, continuously.
The flas, despite being battered by the fierce wind, did not extinguish.
They were the flas produced by the Fire Elent, which are eternal.
Propelled by the fierce wind, the flas generated by the Fire Elent began to wander all over the place, indirectly revealing the direction and speed of the winds.
These flas, shining brightly in the darkness, were highly conspicuous.
Following these flas, Ye Shikai could clearly discern the path of the wind.
It was right there.
Ye Shikai’s eyes snapped open, and not far away by the stone wall, those flas circled around a whirlwind, which moved along with the whirlwind.
Ye Shikai keenly noticed that as the whirlwind moved, the entire room’s airflow changed as well.
It must be the Air Elent, no mistake.
Ye Shikai concentrated his Inner Strength in his legs, pushed off with both feet, and his body instantly disappeared from its original spot.
He wanted to fight quickly and decisively, to directly capture the Air Elent.
“Damn it.” Just as Ye Shikai and the Air Elent were within reach, the whirlwind suddenly shifted, fiercely appearing behind Ye Shikai as if mocking him.
Indeed as swift as the wind, the whereabouts of the Air Elent were unpredictable, and its speed was so fast that Ye Shikai could hardly react.
It was hard enough to locate it, but catching it was another matter entirely, leaving Ye Shikai feeling utterly frustrated.
“Hades, I hear soone approaching, hurry up.” Suddenly, Sally’s sowhat panicked voice ca from outside the door.
Ye Shikai’s heart quivered, how could soone be here?
The path here was told to him by the Soul Blade, how could others find it, could it be a fluke?
Ye Shikai shook his head, his current priority was to capture the Air Elent.
He could not let this treasure slip through his fingers for others to claim.
Ye Shikai’s gaze sharpened, his eyes glead as if a hungry wolf had locked onto its prey, staring intently at the Air Elent, determined to seize it this ti.
“Even faster.” Ye Shikai focused his Inner Strength, his body shot out like an arrow off the string, rushing toward the Air Elent, his fingers almost touching the whirlwind.
He must, he must succeed.
At this mont, Sally stood at the doorway, her face filled with panic, scanning her surroundings.
She heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, obviously headed this way, but she dared not knock on the door to disturb Ye Shikai.
What to do?
No, she needs to go in and ask him for help.
Sally reached out her hand to the iron door, just about to knock.
“Young lady, there’s soone inside, isn’t there?” A ghostly voice ca from behind Sally.
Sally swiftly turned around, and a blond man holding a Longsword was watching her with a smiling face.
The man was none other than Zeus.
“No, there’s nobody inside, I don’t know you, please leave right away,” Sally said bravely.
She could feel that the strength of the man before her was formidable, on par with Ye Shikai, and he radiated a very powerful energy.
“Haha, lying is not good,” Zeus sneered, lifting the God King Sword, intending to end this woman right before him.
“Bang.”
Suddenly, the cold iron door was violently thrown open, a gust of wind blew out from inside, lifting Zeus’s blond hair.
Sally took the opportunity to duck to the side.
“Zeus, it’s actually you.”
“Hades, I didn’t expect to run into you here, what a coincidence.” Zeus revealed a surprised look.
He was originally just looking for traces of the Netherworld Palace’s warriors, but he stumbled upon this place unexpectedly, and more surprisingly, his archenemy Ye Shikai was also here.
Indeed, enemies often cross each other’s paths.
