Chapter 465: Prison Party
Chapter 465: Prison Party
After escaping a far distance away, Xiang Shaoyun could still sense devil wind beasts chasing after them.
He inwardly cursed, These damnable devil wind beasts. This speed is even faster than me. Looks like there’s no escaping.
He then stopped and placed Jin Shui and Ling Lin down before saying, “Escape and heal up. I will stop the devil wind beasts chasing after us.”
“Xiang Shaoyun, I’ll stay behind with you,” offered Jin Shui with no hesitation. He was not the kind of person who would allow someone who had saved his life to stay behind and cover his escape.
Ling Lin also offered, “That’s right. If we flee, we flee together. If we fight, we fight together.”
“What can you do in your current shape? Can you even run as fast as me? Don’t bother. That will be no difference than suicide for both of you,” said Xiang Shaoyun bluntly.
After saying that, he turned back and started heading toward their pursuers. Both Jin Shui and Ling Lin looked at each other with a bitter smile before fleeing obediently as told. Their current priority should be to heal up first. They knew if they remained, they would only be Xiang Shaoyun’s burden. Both were extremely grateful to him for saving them.
The yin devil wind was the last thing in their mind right now. Nothing was more important than staying alive. In any case, they had a period of one month to look for the yin devil wind. Only a few days had passed. They still had plenty of time to search after healing up.
A short while later, Xiang Shaoyun found himself facing three devil wind beast kings. The suction force they released was extremely strong. Not even Xiang Shaoyun could maintain a stable footing, and he nearly ended up as their food. He quickly summoned Money, and together, they summoned 36 silver lightning bolts that rained down on the three devils.
When a human and a demonic beast with similar strength worked together in perfect cooperation, they were able to unleash a terrifying might. This was the case for the current Xiang Shaoyun and Money. They had the same cultivation level and used the same element. Thus, they were able to cooperate well together.
The rain of lightning laid waste on the three devils, causing them to ceaselessly roar in pain. But they were still alive, having merely been injured. They scattered and no longer stuck together, not giving Xiang Shaoyun and Money another opportunity to bombard all of them at once. Then, they started spitting blades of wind at the two.
A total of 12 blades were created, turning into 12 tornadoes that turned the stones and trees in the vicinity into fine powder. The might of these attacks was clear for all to see. Even a regular War Emperor would be directly turned into minced meat facing these attacks. Fear showed on the faces of Xiang Shaoyun and Money. Attacks at this level were not something they could easily withstand.
Six Goldplate Manual!
With zero hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun drew power from his second star and formed two layers of golden walls around him and Money. He had already perfectly completed the first stage of the Six Goldplate Manual. If he kept growing and reached the second stage, Copper Wall, he would be able to block even the attack of Emperors.
Cling! Clank!
The blades of wind bombarded the walls, creating a rumbling sound. Xiang Shaoyun was fortunate that he was already a fourth-stage King and had enough energy to build a defense equivalent to the defense of an eighth-stage or even a ninth-stage King.
This let him withstand the first round of wind blade bombardment. By the time the second round arrived, there were already cracks in his defensive walls. It did not seem like they could last much longer.
“Boss, we won’t be able to last much longer. Should we charge?” Money cried out in alarm.
“What are you afraid of? Your boss is wise and strong. I am not afraid of these clowns. Nether Soul Domain, release!” Xiang Shaoyun said confidently.
At his command, the Nether Soul Domain spread out and surrounded the area, turning this place into his personal domain. The wind energy in the air seemed to have vanished. The blades of wind were greatly suppressed as well, and they became greatly weakened. They could no longer pose any threat to Xiang Shaoyun’s defensive walls. The three devils panicked when they sensed the odd change of their surroundings.
“You are now on my turf. Enjoy this prison party I am throwing you,” said Xiang Shaoyun as 24 chains shot out from nowhere.
These chains were now completely solid, and they were sleek and glossy, emanating a thick aura of soul power. At the same time, a different Xiang Shaoyun appeared at a different corner of the domain. That was his soul.
The soul was also completely solid. A Nether Dragon Soul Headband was visible on its head, and it was emanating a majestic and bewitching aura. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun’s physical body radiated a warm and heroic aura. On the other hand, his soul body radiated a sinister and dark aura. The two had completely different temperaments about them.
The chains were currently under control of his soul. He was akin to the ultimate ruler of this prison, and the chains completely shackled and wrapped around the three confused devils. They started shrinking and crushing the devils. Blood sprayed everywhere, and even the devils’ bones were being squeezed out of their bodies.
“Roar! Roar!”
They struggled with all their power, but nothing came out of it. Instead, the more they struggled, the tighter the chains wrapped around them. Xiang Shaoyun was about to finish them off when he suddenly recalled the ghostrunes residing at a different corner of the domain. He mused, “The ghostrunes are probably devils as well. Maybe I should try getting them to feast on these devil wind beasts?”
At that thought, he released the ghostrunes. From the initial tens of thousands of ghostrunes, only about 8,000 of them remained. However, not one of the remaining ghostrunes was weaker than the Great Devil Realm, a cultivation level equivalent to the human Transformation Realm. About 800 of them were Kings, and 5 of them were Emperors. This was the result of swallowing each other to improve their bloodline.
“Gui Qi, try devouring these three devil wind beasts and see if it is beneficial to you guys,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Yes, master,” Gui Qi answered deferentially.
He then commanded about a dozen ghostrune kings to devour the devil wind beasts. When the ghostrunes smelled the devil wind beasts, a look of hunger covered their faces. They pounced and started feasting on them.
“Roar! Roar!”
The devil wind beasts roared in protest, but they could no longer change their fate. After the ghostrune kings consumed the blood of the devil wind beasts, their blood became thicker and much more viscous. Their bodies also visibly started changing. The change was the most obvious with three of them, as they had directly broken through in their cultivation level.
When Xiang Shaoyun saw that, he asked Gui Qi, “So the blood and flesh of the devil wind beasts are helpful for your people?”
“Yes, master. The Devil Wind Clan cultivates the power of wind. Therefore, they resonate well with us. By devouring them, the speed of our growth and bloodline evolution can be accelerated!” Gui Qi replied in excitement.
