"Huh."
Tang Yi was also stunned. Usually, he was the one to attack a Demon Beast first, but today it was the other way around. ’This Demon Beast didn’t even probe before attacking directly,’ he thought. ’What a fiery temper.’
But Tang Yi liked this kind of temper.
Without another thought, Tang Yi smiled faintly, activated Phantom Step, and dodged to the side in a flash.
"BOOM!"
A massive roar echoed as the ground trembled.
The Kedo Beast’s stomp missed, its enormous foot leaving a deep print in the ground.
However, the stomp hadn’t harmed Tang Yi in the slightest.
Even if his reaction wasn’t that fast, he could still rely on the Speed of his Phantom Step to dodge.
This Kedo Beast’s Speed wasn’t fast; it only had brute Power.
The Kedo Beast had no intention of letting Tang Yi go. Seeing him dodge its attack, it angrily charged over to him again, stomping its feet repeatedly, determined to crush the human who dared invade its Forbidden Land.
Tang Yi could only keep using his Phantom Step to evade.
"Heh, so you think you can just walk all over me, is that it?"
With a cold snort, Tang Yi’s temper flared. Being toyed with and stomped at by a Demon Beast would make anyone explode, no matter how good their temperament.
Tang Yi was furious now.
While dodging, he condensed a Gale Blade—the skill whose Skill Level he needed to raise—and shot it at the Kedo Beast.
But...
"CLANG!"
The sound of metal striking metal rang out. The Wind Blade hit the Kedo Beast, leaving only a shallow mark before dissipating into nothing. It hadn’t caused any damage at all.
After being attacked, the Kedo Beast snorted a jet of air from its nostrils, growing even more enraged. It stomped its thick, massive leg at Tang Yi with even more force.
"This..."
Seeing this result, Tang Yi froze for a second and was almost crushed by the Kedo Beast’s giant foot, but he managed to activate his Phantom Step just in time to dodge.
After dodging the Kedo Beast’s attack, Tang Yi was stunned.
The Kedo Beast’s Description stated that its body was covered in scales, giving it extremely high Defense Power that was difficult to harm with blades or swords. However, from such a vague Description, there was no way to know just how high its defense was.
From what had just happened, it seemed its Defense Power was so high that not even the Earth Tier Lower Grade Gale Blade could damage it. It was unbelievably strong.
If Tang Yi insisted on trying to kill the Kedo Beast with Gale Blade, he’d be at it until next year and still fail.
’What should I do?’
Tang Yi began to ponder. Having tested the Kedo Beast’s Defense Power, he now faced a dilemma. He wondered if he should switch to another Skill to deal with the Kedo Beast.
If he didn’t switch, Gale Blade’s damage was useless against the Kedo Beast.
But if he did switch, he wouldn’t achieve his goal of raising Gale Blade’s Skill Level. What was he supposed to do?
Besides, given the Kedo Beast’s Defense Power, Tang Yi didn’t think any of his Skills other than a Finishing Move could actually harm it.
So, switching might not even be effective.
Gale Blade was an Earth Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique. While its might couldn’t compare to Mountain Collapse, it wasn’t far behind. A High Level Martial Technique like this, with such strong cutting power, should have caused immense damage.
Yet, it couldn’t even harm a Level 5 Demon Beast. It was truly disappointing.
However, Tang Yi wasn’t one to give in easily, let alone give up.
Although Gale Blade had no effect for now, he refused to believe that such an awesome long-range offensive Martial Technique couldn’t even handle a giant rhinoceros.
When his stubborn streak kicked in, there was no stopping it.
Stubbornly, Tang Yi raised his hand and unleashed a Multiple Wind Blades attack, sending three Wind Blades flying toward the Kedo Beast.
"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"
The result was predictable: completely useless!
But Tang Yi didn’t stop. The moment the Wind Blades disappeared, he raised his hand and sent three more at the exact same spot as the previous three.
"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"
The sound of metal striking metal echoed three more times from the Kedo Beast’s body. Still useless.
Having failed twice, Tang Yi finally stopped, feeling a little dejected.
His recent actions had been done in a fit of pique. Of course, Tang Yi knew it was useless; he was just stubbornly taking a gamble.
Just as Tang Yi was about to give up on Gale Blade and switch to a Martial Technique with higher Attack Power, he suddenly noticed something.
The spot on the Kedo Beast where the Wind Blades had struck twice had a deeper mark than the other spots.
This discovery made Tang Yi’s eyes light up. He seemed to have thought of something. While pondering, he condensed a single Wind Blade and shot it at the Kedo Beast.
The moment that Wind Blade left his hand, Tang Yi flicked his wrist again, condensing a second one and shooting it out. He then condensed a third and shot it, and so on, until he had fired a series of five before stopping.
This wasn’t a multiple-blade attack where they were fired all at once, but rather one launched after another—in other words, a combo!
Tang Yi called this move the Wind Blade Five-Link Attack!
After Multiple Wind Blades and Arc Wind Blade, this was the third method Tang Yi had devised for using Wind Blade: the Wind Blade combo!
The five Wind Blades flew in a straight line toward the Kedo Beast, striking the exact same point on its body.
"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"
"PFFT! PFFT!"
After the three sounds of metal striking metal, the next two sounds were of something piercing flesh and blood.
At that moment, a gash had actually been torn open at the point where the five Wind Blades had struck the Kedo Beast. Fresh blood began to gush out.
He broke through its defense! He actually broke through its defense!
The first Wind Blade, of course, couldn’t break the Kedo Beast’s defense and only left a shallow mark.
But when the second Wind Blade struck the same point, it deepened the mark.
By the time the third Wind Blade hit, the mark on the Kedo Beast’s body had grown larger, and flesh was faintly visible.
When the fourth and fifth Wind Blades struck, the Kedo Beast’s skin was torn open, and the blades sliced directly into its flesh.
Five consecutive Wind Blades, their Power stacked, produced an extraordinary effect. He had finally broken through the Kedo Beast’s defense.
Tang Yi hadn’t expected that another spur-of-the-moment creation would lead him to discover a new way to use Wind Blade.
Multiple Wind Blades could be used to lock down an enemy’s position and strike multiple targets, Arc Wind Blade could be controlled, and this Wind Blade combo could increase the Attack Power of the Wind Blades!
’Constant dripping wears away the stone, and Wind Blades hitting the same spot can also increase their might by so much!’
It even broke through the defense of a Demon Beast as tough as the Kedo Beast. It was practically invincible.
Tang Yi had been wondering what Martial Technique he could switch to to break the Kedo Beast’s defense. If that didn’t work, he might have even had to waste a use of his Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash. He hadn’t expected to find a solution like this. Now he didn’t have to switch Martial Techniques at all; Gale Blade was now perfectly sufficient for the task!
