"SCREECH!"
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird dove headfirst toward Tang Yi. Its aura was stronger, its speed faster, and its charge fiercer. It looked ready to fight him to the death!
However, Tang Yi had already figured out how to use his Gale Blade. Now that he had a ranged attack, why would he fight the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird to the death?
’Wouldn’t that be stupid?’
With a flip of his hand, a Gale Blade appeared. This time, Tang Yi didn’t form three blades as before, but just a single one.
He was going to test another way of using it.
’Control!’
With a wave of his hand, Tang Yi sent the Wind Blade flying toward the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird.
Just as before, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird swiftly dodged. Although it was ready to fight to the death, it wasn’t suicidal. It still had to evade the incoming Wind Blade.
Besides, unlike the three-pronged attack from before, a single Wind Blade posed no threat to it. A slight twist of its body was all it took to dodge, without affecting its charge toward Tang Yi.
But this time, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird had miscalculated. This Wind Blade was very different from the ones Tang Yi had used before.
Just as the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird twisted to dodge the Wind Blade, Tang Yi’s hand seemed to move as well, yanking forcefully in the direction of the bird’s evasion.
Then, the Wind Blade, which had been flying in a straight line, suddenly veered. It flew in an arc, chasing the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s figure to slice into it.
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird hadn’t anticipated this change at all. Caught completely off guard, it flew right into the Wind Blade.
"SHLICK!"
With another soft tearing of flesh, a new wound appeared on the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird!
Startled by the injury, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird whirled around, no longer daring to approach Tang Yi.
Its powerful charge had been interrupted, just like that, by a bizarre Wind Blade.
’It worked!’
’A curved Wind Blade!’
This was Tang Yi’s second experiment with his Gale Blade technique. It had proven surprisingly practical, wounding the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird yet again and even interrupting its attack.
Whether it was the Multiple Wind Blades or the curved Wind Blade, the effects were remarkable. They worked wonders even against a Demon Beast like the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, renowned for its Speed.
"SCREEEEEECH!~~"
It let out a sorrowful cry. Having been wounded repeatedly, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was finally afraid. Its gaze, fixed on Tang Yi, was now filled with terror.
It couldn’t harm Tang Yi, but Tang Yi could harm it. If this continued, he would surely kill it. This realization made the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird grow terrified of the human before it.
With a frantic flap of its wings, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird let out a cry, turned its back on Tang Yi, and fled.
A Level 5 Demon Beast, a Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird whose strength was comparable to a Battle King Powerhouse, had just been forced to flee by Tang Yi, a Battle Spirit. Could you believe it?
This creature was even stronger than the Poisonous Cat King Tang Yi had encountered before!
If word of this got out, people would think you were a lunatic.
How could a human Martial Artist at the Battle Spirit Level possibly defeat a Level 5 Demon Beast that was stronger than a human Battle King?
That would just be bragging, wouldn’t it?
Yet the truth was right before his eyes. The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was clearly in retreat.
And Tang Yi, in turn, truly possessed the techniques to kill it.
’Hmph. Trying to run?’
Although he felt a surge of pride seeing the Level 5 Demon Beast flee from his attacks, Tang Yi was not about to be satisfied.
He couldn’t possibly let this prey escape. This was a jackpot of Experience Value!
The amount of Experience a Level 5 Demon Beast could provide was simply unimaginable. Was Tang Yi going to let it get away?
’Of course not!’
He shot out a Wind Blade. This time, Tang Yi aimed for the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s neck. He intended to slay it in one hit, not just injure it again!
After his recent test, Tang Yi had mastered control of the curved Wind Blade, which made dealing with the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird much simpler.
’No matter how fast the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird is, even if it can dodge a straight-flying Wind Blade, it can’t possibly predict and dodge one that curves, right?’
So, after launching the Wind Blade, Tang Yi kept his eyes fixed on the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, ready to change the blade’s direction and adjust its angle of flight at a moment’s notice.
"SWOOSH!"
Under Tang Yi’s precise control, the attack flew unerringly toward the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s neck. No matter how the bird twisted its body, the Wind Blade clung to it like a persistent specter, impossible to shake.
The Wind Blade drew closer and closer to the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird. In a moment, its neck would be sliced open, and it would die on the spot, becoming Tang Yi’s Experience Value.
But at that very moment, something unexpected happened...
In this perilous situation, locked on by killing intent, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird suddenly had a burst of power.
Its body trembled slightly, then it transformed into a Shadow. WHOOSH! It broke through the resistance of the air and shot into the distance.
Its Speed was identical to the burst it had displayed when Tang Yi first ambushed it—unimaginably fast!
In an instant, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s body appeared more than ten meters away. The pursuing Wind Blade lost its target and dissipated into nothing.
"This..."
Tang Yi was dumbfounded. He had been on the verge of slaying his first Level 5 Demon Beast, but it had unexpectedly used another life-saving technique to dodge his second Deadly Strike.
And... its form was growing more and more distant...
’Oh no, it’s getting away!’
While Tang Yi was momentarily stunned, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, having used some special method to escape a dozen meters away, spread its wings again and flew into the distance. It didn’t even dare to look back, apparently terrified of him now.
Tang Yi hastily gave chase. He couldn’t let his prey get away, so he activated Phantom Step with all his might.
Fortunately, after using that unnatural burst of Speed again, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird looked even more listless. Its current Speed was much slower than normal, and its feathers had grown dimmer, no longer dazzling.
It was as if a beautiful Princess had been transformed into Cinderella. The decline in its appearance was so drastic it was pitiable.
’It seems that every time the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird uses this life-saving, speed-boosting technique, its power must plummet.’
This gave Tang Yi his chance.
With the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s Speed greatly reduced and Tang Yi’s now being faster, he closed the gap of over ten meters in just a few breaths, arriving right behind it. He immediately launched a Wind Blade, giving the bird no chance whatsoever.
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was now extremely weak, with no way to dodge. When the Wind Blade struck, it sliced cleanly through its neck, and the creature tumbled from the sky.
Alas, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird had done its best, using its powerful life-saving technique to flee for its life, but it still couldn’t escape from Tang Yi’s grasp. In the end, it became his Experience Value.
