Chapter 82: Thundercloud Wing Dragon

He paused, Xiao Li said: 'As long as you bring back the magic beast corpses, I will give you a suitable Mysterious-rank fighting technique.'

Wanting the horse to run, of course you need to give it grass; having absorbed the Eight Gates Sect, its myriad treasures are Xiao Li's best fodder, and there's no need to over-exploit Yao Lao.

In the treasury, Xiao Li and Xiao Yan also obtained the Three Thousand Thunder Movements. Xiao Li speculated that perhaps the Eight Gates Sect had always been worried that the owner of this mysterious, powerful fighting technique would come knocking, so they never dared to auction it publicly; later, when Yuan Yi broke through to Fighting Emperor, the Eight Gates Sect finally had some confidence.

Xiao Li not only made up for the shortcomings in his movement technique, but he also found a low-level Mysterious-rank Thunder Bat Heavenly Wings, which further allowed his speed to reach its utmost.

At the Fighting King level, flight fighting techniques are no longer useless; flight fighting techniques and Dou Qi wings can be used simultaneously, their speeds can stack, and at the same level, four wings are always faster than two.

Moreover, the Thunder Bat Heavenly Wings have a special effect: in thunderstorm weather, the low-level Mysterious-rank Thunder Bat Heavenly Wings' speed can catch up to mid-level Mysterious-rank.

And Xiao Li's goal for this trip happens to be somewhat related to this fighting technique.

Sixth-rank magic beast, Thundercloud Wing Dragon.

Xiao Li had a bold idea: to fuse the Thunder Bat Heavenly Wings with the Thundercloud Wing Dragon, using the method described above to absorb other types of wings.

Xiao Li knew this was dangerous; not only is crafting flight fighting techniques difficult, but their cultivation difficulty is also great, let alone modifying them on one's own.

However, since this fighting technique is only low-level Mysterious-rank, Xiao Li does not worry about suffering severe backlash; at worst it's just a pair of low-level wings, useless once he reaches Fighting Sect, and it won't affect his later development.

On the eve of departure, Xiao Li successfully broke through to eight-star Fighting Spirit; for Xiao Li, this stage's breakthrough comes naturally as long as energy reaches a certain amount, but he still strives to solidify his foundation as much as possible.

Because of the Blood Pill, Xiao Li plans to take action against these three magic beasts this time, hoping to break through to Fighting King in one fell swoop relying on the Blood Pill.

However, the Blood Pill contains many impurities; although Xiao Li has been trying to purify it as much as possible, his body still inevitably harbors some hidden dangers.

Xiao Li knows his own condition; although he has the overlay of two lifetimes' souls, recklessly consuming his bodily potential is not good, so he plans to ask Yao Lao this time upon his return, to see if there is a good way to solve the foundation problem.

'Alright, let's set out.' Seeing Su Mei and Yin Gu Lao arrive, Xiao Li did not hesitate; no matter what, reaching Fighting King level is the most important thing at this stage.

Thundercloud Wing Dragon, whose body contains the bloodlines of dragons and thunder beasts, has always lived in the Thundercloud Mountain Range of Heijiao Yu; it is the undisputed overlord of this mountain range, and the range is named after it.

Because of the dragon's pride and aloofness, no magic beasts of fifth rank or higher exist within the Thundercloud Wing Dragon's territory, but it is obvious that no one in Heijiao Yu would consider it easy to bully because of that.

As a descendant of the dragon, although the Thundercloud Wing Dragon has just entered Fighting Emperor, its strength is comparable to a four-star Fighting Emperor.

Xiao Li did not choose to have Yao Lao act, because he realized he had been too comfortable lately; Qian Bai Lao and Yao Lao have always helped him settle matters, and he hasn't fought such a life-and-death battle in a long time, his mindset subtly changing.

Xiao Li noticed this, so he prepared to challenge this hybrid dragon.

However, if things cannot be defied, Xiao Li will not forcibly play the 'explosive seed' routine.

Beneath the cliffside nest of the Thundercloud Wing Dragon.

Xiao Li's gaze was cold; since breaking through to eight-star Fighting Spirit, he only needed one step to advance to Fighting King, and now with four steps taken together, he has already reached the level of eight-star Fighting King.

'Human? Dare to come to my territory, you're courting death!' As a sixth-rank magic beast, the Thundercloud Wing Dragon has already learned to speak human words; its arrogant nature gave Xiao Li and company no chance to speak, a pair of huge dragon wings swooped down straight at the weakest among them, Yin Gu Lao.

Yin Gu Lao's face was grim; he is now an expert eight-star Fighting King, yet he was actually treated as a soft persimmon.

Soulless Bone-Breaking Palm!

Bone-white light flashed on Yin Gu Lao's hand, as large amounts of black souls surged forth one after another.

Xiao Li had no time to complain about this guy's effects being more villainous than the villain; he grabbed a spear and directly used a Mountain-Splitting Strike to meet the challenge head-on.

Yin Gu Lao's eyes welled with emotion; the sect leader is righteous enough to actually bear the full frontal pressure.

Besides solemnity, Xiao Li's eyes held a hint of joy; the Thundercloud Wing Dragon truly lives up to being a dragon's descendant, not only are its dragon wings incredibly powerful, but its body also contains a hint of wind and thunder power, allowing his speed to reach the extreme.

And this wind-and-thunder power is exactly what he needs.

To cultivate the Three Thousand Thunder Movements, one must have the support of wind-and-thunder power to truly succeed.

The scroll recording the Three Thousand Thunder Movements contains a hint, but Xiao Yan yielded it to Xiao Li, saying he is more suited to thunder-attribute fighting techniques, while Xiao Yan himself chose to keep searching; unexpectedly, Xiao Li found it so quickly.

Xiao Li no longer hid his clumsiness, choosing to directly take the fifth step of Ascending Heaven; with his current physical strength, he can only maintain it for ten minutes.

But what he gained in return was strength comparable to a one-star Fighting Emperor.

Blood-colored wings suddenly expanded, the aura of murderous slaughter entwining.

But the Thundercloud Wing Dragon only flashed a moment of hesitation in its eyes, then the swift thunder-and-lightning wings cut in without hesitation.

Gazing at the dragon wings covered in thick thunder, Xiao Li showed no fear; the Blood Flood Dragon emerged, and the dragon's bloodlines collided at this moment.

'Hybrid dragon, obediently bow your head, or I will tear you to pieces!'

The Thunder Scale Spear's Mountain-Splitting Strike landed squarely on the Thundercloud Wing Dragon's twin wings.

Anger gathered in the Thundercloud Wing Dragon's eyes; the dragon's bloodline has always been its pride, but impurity is also a fact.

'Trash, I will chop off your head and throw it from a height, letting it turn into scraps!'

Thunder-and-lightning power surged violently, its strength comparable to a four-star Fighting Emperor making Xiao Li grit his teeth, but with the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Thunder, he is confident that thunder and lightning will not lose to the Thundercloud Wing Dragon.

Vast thunder erupted at this moment, blood-red and blue lightning intertwining; Su Mei and Yin Gu Lao were not idle, both rushing forward to assist.

Thunder and lightning began to cross and flow into Xiao Li's and the Thundercloud Wing Dragon's bodies.

Different thunder and lightning caused a conflict within Xiao Li's body; the blue lightning wandered through his meridians, causing a tingling sensation.

Xiao Li's movement stalled, and he was blasted away by the explosive power of the Thundercloud Wing Dragon.

Undeterred by the Thundercloud Wing Dragon's haughty expression, Xiao Li pushed himself up, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth; the Thunder-Merging Technique began to operate, and the thunder and lightning belonging to the Thundercloud Wing Dragon within his body were refined and fused into his flesh and blood.

Feeling his body's recovery and strengthening, Xiao Li's eyes filled with excitement: 'Indeed, I had been troubled by not finding qualified thunder and lightning, but I unexpectedly gained a pleasant surprise from you, Thundercloud Wing Dragon—your surprises for me are truly many.'
