The ambusher was incredibly fast and nimble, and not even Xiang Shaoyun had detected the newcomer. Just as the ambusher was about to reach him, Xiang Shaoyun, relying on his years of battle experience, sensed danger and hastily moved away.
Swish!
His back was clawed, splitting his skin and causing him to hiss in pain. At the same time, an indescribable power invaded his flesh, exhausting his vitality. That discovery told Xiang Shaoyun that the invading power could be classified as a type of yin vicious energy, or it could even be death energy. He had to remove it immediately.
But the ambusher did not intend to spare Xiang Shaoyun, and it attacked repeatedly, releasing claw attacks that were even stronger than the green shadow cat’s.
Xiang Shaoyun used his footwork to quickly charge forward, trying to avoid his opponent’s follow-up attacks. However, his opponent was as fast as him, and Xiang Shaoyun failed to escape no matter how he tried.
Finally, Xiang Shaoyun was forced to use even his White Tiger Wings. His speed increased again, and he finally broke free from the pursuit. He took the moment of respite to circulate his flame energy and cleanse his body of the yin vicious energy.
He then turned around to look at his pursuer. The pursuer was actually a werecat. The werecats were a species of variant humans. Possessing a mixed bloodline of demons and humans, they were classified as a hybrid race.
The werecat before him was female. She had a wild aura around her and possessed clear cat characteristics such as pointy ears, stripes on her face, and a black furry tail. As for her torso, it was human-like. The green shadow cat was by her side. Evidently, the two were companions.
Xiang Shaoyun shouted, “Don’t provoke me, or things won’t end well for you!”
It wouldn’t be easy for him to defeat the pair head on. He did not want to waste too much time on them. But if they forced his hand, they would only have themselves to blame when he showed no mercy.
“All humans deserve death!” said the werecat viciously. She then attacked Xiang Shaoyun with the green shadow cat from two different directions.
They attacked together, engulfing him with incomparably sharp claws. Numerous deep claw marks were left on the ground. Facing such an attack, Xiang Shaoyun had no way of dodging. He directly released his Nether Soul Domain and trapped both of them inside it.
The moment the Nether Soul Domain appeared, their offensive was suppressed. At the same time, chains shot out from everywhere, flailing at the two. Xiang Shaoyun showed no quarter and ripped them apart with the chains. These two were life forms filled with ruthlessness. If he left them alive, they would only harm someone else. He might as well clean them up right now.
After killing the two, Xiang Shaoyun sensed a hidden aura rushing toward him from a different direction. Evidently, the newcomer was yet another sinister life form. Perhaps it was a companion of the werecat and green shadow cat.
This time, Xiang Shaoyun learned from experience and directly activated his trait of invisibility. Only then would he reduce the trouble he would meet along the way. After turning invisible, his mood eased up, as this ability had never failed him. Even higher-leveled experts would not be able to detect him.
Alas, he was mistaken this time. Several werecats and green shadow cats rushed over, their gazes focusing on him as they attacked madly. Numerous nimble and quick figures appeared, radiating endless ruthlessness while their green eyes gleamed with a penetrating glint.
“Shit! They can actually see me?” Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in alarm as he quickly fled.
Flapping his wings with full power, he flew at top speed. Although he could use his Nether Soul Domain to kill many of them, he was afraid of other mishaps happening. If so, continuing to fight would not be worth it. He flew as fast as possible, as fast as any peak Emperor. Even the werecats and green shadow cats were left in the dust.
After flying for a long while, he finally shook them all off. It was then that he realized he had arrived somewhere even more dangerous. The place was filled with flying monsters that all looked fierce and terrifying. All of them had high cultivation realms as well.
Some looked like lions yet had wings. Some looked like bats yet had canine limbs…. In short, each beast was a valiant, dreadful hybrid race. However, they all shared one commonality: they all controlled the power of wind and possessed incredible speed.
Apart from that, he also found a lot of beastmen living with them. And yet, they were not slaughtered. It was truly unbelievable. One ought to know that different races usually couldn’t coexist peacefully.
After arriving, Xiang Shaoyun was not discovered. He was able to hide at a certain corner as he observed all the locals. They were all traveling against the wind, their destination an incredibly terrifying location.
Xiang Shaoyun stared in that direction blankly, his eyes filled with shock. He was looking at two mountains. They stood side by side, with a crack between them. The crack looked like it was a crack of the sky itself, endlessly leaking with a boundless and majestic wind energy.
The wind energy was incredibly violent, blowing everything away. Rocks and dust were blown about without stop, and only the two mountains stood lofty and motionless. The beastmen and demonic beasts were all heading toward the crack with all their might, as if something fatally attractive was waiting for them there.
Xiang Shaoyun could sense that at some hidden corners, other humans were lying in wait. Those were most likely Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples.
“This must be the Sinister Wind Den. It is rumored that some weird things are occasionally blown out from the crack. Are they aiming for those things?” Xiang Shaoyun wondered.
After thinking for a bit, he decided to go in the same direction as well. He wanted to discover the secret behind the Sinister Wind Den. After flying for a bit, he found that the wind was so strong even he had a hard time advancing.
To make matters worse, the wind contained yin vicious energy, and it constantly corroded his body extensively. He felt he couldn’t continue forward. Left with no choice, he activated the power of the yin devil wind within him and started absorbing the wind energy around him, trying his best to adapt to his environment.
After advancing for a bit, he found that the beastmen and demonic beasts were roaring incessantly and that something extremely weird was happening at the crack.
