"SCREEE!"
While Tang Yi was lost in thought, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird let out a cry. Its magnificent golden body flapped its wings, turning into a shadow as it shot toward Tang Yi to peck at him.
As expected of a Level 5 Demon Beast, even its normal speed was countless times faster than the likes of the Gale Wolf King.
If an ordinary Battle Spirit were to face it, they would have absolutely no chance of escape.
Even an ordinary human Battle King would be forced to flee in disarray when faced with an attack at this speed.
The terror of this Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was plain to see.
And this was only the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s normal speed...
’Truly worthy of being a Level 5 Demon Beast!’
However, Tang Yi was no ordinary person. He had consumed countless speed-enhancing Attribute Pills, equipped a pair of Divine Boots that increased his speed by thirty percent, and possessed an Earth Tier Body Technique, Phantom Step.
With all these bonuses combined, although he only had the strength of a Battle Spirit, his speed was not much slower than the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s.
When the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird attacked, Tang Yi activated Phantom Step, flashing to the side to dodge the bird’s pecking strike.
As long as the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird didn’t unleash that terrifying burst of speed from before, its normal speed was no match for Tang Yi.
On the contrary, Tang Yi posed a greater threat to the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird.
"It’s impolite not to return a favor!"
Seeing the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird retaliate, Tang Yi wasn’t about to let this damn bird vent its anger on him. With a flip of his hand, another Wind Blade materialized, and he sent it flying toward the bird.
Unfortunately, the Wind Blade was too slow. With the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s speed, it was impossible to hit. The bird simply twisted its body slightly and dodged.
Then, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird attacked Tang Yi again.
And so, the man and the bird clashed.
You peck at me, I fling a Wind Blade at you. Both sides were incredibly fast, and neither could gain the upper hand. After fighting for half an hour, they were still at a stalemate, and neither was injured.
By this point, not only was the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s aura growing weaker, but even Tang Yi was showing signs of exhaustion.
With Tang Yi’s current strength, he could only use an Earth Tier Martial Technique about thirty times in a row without resting. Any more than that, and not only would his internal energy run low, but his body also wouldn’t be able to take the strain.
Now, after continuously using both Phantom Step and Gale Blade, his body was gradually starting to feel the strain.
His situation was even worse than the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s.
’I can’t let this go on!’ Tang Yi thought.
’If this continues, even if I don’t die from exhaustion, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird will wear me down until I’m dead.’
’Demon Beasts have far greater stamina than humans.’
Even though Tang Yi had taken many Attribute Pills, his physical body still couldn’t compare to a Level 5 Demon Beast’s. He had to end this fight quickly.
’But the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird is a Flying Demon Beast, and it’s so fast. The Wind Blades can’t hit it. What can I do to end this battle?’
Tang Yi had originally entered the Level 5 Demon Beast zone not only to level up but also to increase his Skill Level with Gale Blade. Facing the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird now, Gale Blade was still his best option. His other Martial Techniques were useless against the bird in the sky.
’If only I could fly,’ Tang Yi thought.
Unfortunately, one had to reach the Battle King Level to be able to fly. Although he was currently at the Battle Spirit Level with strength comparable to a Battle King, he wasn’t a true Battle King. He didn’t have the ability to fly, so it was useless to even think about it.
The path of flying up to fight the Golden Blood Extreme Shadow Eagle head-on was completely blocked.
’What should I do?’
Gazing at the Wind Blade in his hand, Tang Yi’s mind raced.
’A Wind Blade... can I only fire one at a time?’
’Can’t I control it?’
’Aren’t there other variations?’
’No, an Earth Tier Martial Technique shouldn’t be so rigid!’
After forming a Wind Blade with a flip of his hand, Tang Yi didn’t throw it. Instead, he paused for a moment, flipped his hand again, and formed another one.
Now, there were two Wind Blades in his hand!
’It really works!’
Tang Yi was delighted, but he wasn’t satisfied. He flipped his hand again, and another Wind Blade appeared.
A third one!
However, when the third Wind Blade appeared, Tang Yi felt that his spirit was willing, but his flesh was weak.
Although he still had enough internal energy and his body could barely hold on, when he tried to form a fourth Gale Blade, he felt a crushing pressure that made it hard to breathe. It seemed he had reached his limit.
Tang Yi felt immense pressure trying to form a fourth Wind Blade, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up.
Three blades seemed to be the maximum Tang Yi could form at once, and also the limit of what he could control.
"SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!"
This time, Tang Yi threw all three Wind Blades at once. They flew toward the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird in a triangular formation.
The three Wind Blades aimed at three different directions, locking onto the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s position.
"SCREEE!"
The sudden attack made the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird cry out again. It didn’t understand. The fight had been going on as usual, so why did this human suddenly change his move?
Moreover, the three Wind Blades blocked off its flight path. The attack was so sudden that the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was caught completely off guard. It had never faced such an attack before and didn’t know how to react.
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s intelligence wasn’t high; it fought purely on instinct. Faced with Tang Yi’s sudden change in tactics, it was stunned. It could only rely on its superior speed to pick a random direction and try to break through.
But...
"PFFT!"
"SCREEE!~~"
The sound of flesh being torn rang out, followed by a tragic cry from the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird. Its body faltered, and it began to fall rapidly.
Although its speed was extreme, its path had been blocked by the three Wind Blades. Despite its desperate attempt to dodge, it could only avoid two of them and was wounded by the third.
Tang Yi’s third Wind Blade had slashed through the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s golden feathered wing. Glistening golden blood rained down from its wing, and its body, now off-balance, plummeted toward the ground.
"Success!"
Tang Yi hadn’t expected his spur-of-the-moment experiment to work on the first try, and he was overjoyed.
He thought to himself that he had managed to use Gale Blade to such a miraculous effect and had grasped more ways to use it. ’My intellect is truly unrivaled.’
He glanced at the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird. Blood was dripping from the Level 5 Demon Beast’s wing, and it looked utterly wretched. But just as it was about to crash into the ground, its body shuddered, and it forced itself back into the air.
Its gaze, fixed on Tang Yi, was now filled with even more hostility and resentment, as if it wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces.
In all its life, when had it ever suffered such an insult?
This human had actually injured its beautiful feathered wings! To the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, this was a blatant, naked humiliation!
