Chapter 432: Teleportation vs. Instant Wind: A Battle of Ultimate Speed

"What? I can't cut through it!" Nan Feihuang said in shock.

With his strength, he actually couldn't tear through such a small wall of wind? "The wind attribute of the Qingluan Douluo is likely already infinitely close to Extreme Wind." As a possessor of an Extreme Attribute, Lan Xue could clearly feel how powerful Qingluan's wind attribute was.

Even if it hadn't truly reached the extreme level yet, it was only a hair's breadth away; even with her Extreme Ice, she might not be able to break through this wind in a short time.

"It's not just that; this wind doesn't just form a simple wind wall, there is also Reverse Wind!" Yu Yuanzhen had plenty of combat experience and saw at a glance that the Qingluan Douluo was actually using the power of Reverse Wind to blow Feihuang's Halberd so that it couldn't advance an inch.

Feihuang frowned and changed his position to continue hacking, but the Qingluan Douluo just stood where he was, smiling as he watched Feihuang's attacks, neither dodging nor avoiding them.

With currents of cyan airflow circling his body, he used the intense Reverse Wind to wrap his entire body.

Every time Feihuang's Halberd hacked down, it felt as if it had encountered a layer of resistance, completely unable to harm the Qingluan Douluo.

The so-called "if power is insufficient, make up for it with soul power"—Qingluan knew that no matter what, he couldn't compare to Nan Feihuang in strength, so he simply used his soul power, which was more than ten times stronger than Nan Feihuang's, to condense the wind.

Every bit of soul power contained in each strike of Feihuang's Halberd was blocked by the Reverse Wind, which carried ten times the soul power.

This was the absolute gap in soul power; between Level 84 and Level 97, the difference in soul power between the two was far more than ten times. To put it bluntly, it wasn't that Feihuang couldn't break Qingluan's defense, but that he couldn't hit Qingluan at all. This Reverse Wind, which was infinitely close to Extreme Wind and contained massive amounts of soul power, was truly too resistant.

"Nan Feihuang, your attack power is indeed shockingly strong, and your close-combat ability is also very formidable. The reason Guangling was defeated by you so easily was because he was countered by you," the Qingluan Douluo laughed. "And I am the exact opposite; what I fear least is close combat! Spirit Bone Skill, Instant Wind!"

As one of the Seven Great Consecrators of the Spirit Hall, it was naturally impossible for the Qingluan Douluo not to have a single soul bone.

Only to see a flash of light on his left leg, and the next moment, his figure flickered, and Feihuang had already been struck away by an invisible attack.

Yet Qingluan remained standing in place, as if he hadn't moved from start to finish.

"So fast. Is this guy really a Strong Attack System Spirit Master?" Nan Feihuang realized that the Qingluan Douluo's combat style could not be judged simply by Strong Attack or Agility Attack; there were no slow Spirit Masters with the wind attribute.

Just like Feng Xiaotian of the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, who possessed both strong attack and agility attack.

This Qingluan Douluo was the same; his speed had already far surpassed the Ghost Leopard Douluo by who knows how many times.

Feihuang stabilized his figure, and seeing the Qingluan Douluo's figure flicker once again, he knew that his new round of attacks was coming.

"Teleportation!"

It wasn't that Feihuang didn't have a speed-type soul bone, and it was even at the Ten-Thousand-Year Level.

After using Teleportation to avoid a surprise attack from the Qingluan Douluo, Feihuang's second spirit ring rose: "Second Soul Skill, Eight Gates Golden Lock! Killing God Domain!"

"A deceleration soul skill and a domain that lowers attributes? Useless." The Qingluan Douluo remained indifferent, his figure turning into a streak of cyan light, moving through the Eight Gates Golden Lock and the Killing God Domain without being affected by the deceleration at all.

"Hehe, Qingluan's Instant Wind soul skill uses the 'instant' of 'instantaneous', not the 'smooth' of 'smoothly'," the Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed.

Once this Instant Wind move was activated, it could temporarily boost the Qingluan Douluo's already super-fast speed to a level comparable to Teleportation, and during this period, he was immune to all deceleration soul skills.

Therefore, the Eight Gates Golden Lock was ineffective.

As for the Killing God Domain, perhaps the Qingluan Douluo's attack power was weakened, but his speed remained unaffected.

This soul bone came from a Qingluan Spirit Beast that reached 95,000 years, and it was incredibly compatible with the Qingluan Douluo's martial soul. After the soul ring and soul bone were absorbed by the Qingluan Douluo simultaneously, the speed bonus Qingluan obtained was not at all inferior to a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and soul bone.

Feihuang gritted his teeth and also used Teleportation, continuously engaging in a battle of counter-attacks and mutual evasion with the Qingluan Douluo.

Everyone looked up at the sky, unable to see any human figures at all; there were only two afterimages colliding continuously in the air.

The Qingluan Douluo's figure appeared: "Third Soul Skill: Wind Whirl Green Billows!" With a flap of his wings, he sprayed a blue-cyan tornado pillar that swept toward the target, blowing away the clouds for ten thousand miles. Feihuang's figure was swept into the tornado. "First Soul Skill, Half-Moon Slash!" The Divine Halberd slashed, not only tearing open the side wall of the tornado but also tearing the sky.

Feihuang rushed out of the tornado from the torn side wall, but was met with a head-on strike from the Qingluan Douluo.

Teleportation moved again, dodging the attack.

Qingluan smiled, leaving trails of afterimages in the air, and immediately appeared at the position where Nan Feihuang had appeared after using Teleportation: "Fourth Soul Skill, Doomsday Wind Ball!"

Qingluan grabbed the air with his right hand, and the surrounding air instantly stagnated. A terrifying binding force pressed in from all directions, and in that instant, Feihuang felt as if he had fallen into a storm vortex, unable to struggle.

"Huang'er!" Seeing his son at a disadvantage, Lan Xue was so anxious she wanted to intervene, but fortunately, Nan Tianchen remained calm and pulled her back in time.

They were already the weaker side; if they took the initiative to break the rules, it would give the Spirit Hall a reason to flip the table.

He believed in his son; he wouldn't be defeated so easily.

"Hehe, Nan Feihuang, in this speed competition, you are destined not to be my opponent. Do you know where you lost?" the Qingluan Douluo laughed. "Your Teleportation is indeed more magical than my Instant Wind, but your base speed is not as strong as mine. After all, your cultivation is not as high as mine, and you are an ice-fire attribute user focused on attack and defense, while I am a wind attribute user focused on speed. Therefore, Teleportation can only barely level the speed gap between us."

"However, you might not have noticed that Teleportation is a space-type skill. Every time you use Teleportation, from the moment you start using it until you reappear, the space walls around you produce a subtle tremor. That tiny tremor is enough for me to discover the position where you will appear, and thus I can make a predictive attack in advance."

From the beginning of this battle, the Qingluan Douluo understood where his strengths and weaknesses lay. He knew that if he fought Feihuang head-on in power and soul skills, he would likely lose nine times out of ten. Since that was the case, he could only push his speed to the limit and amplify his advantages infinitely.

"As expected of the Third Elder of the Spirit Hall, truly formidable," Feihuang praised. "However, I am not so easily defeated. Third Soul Skill, Berserk Golden Body!"

Berserk was activated, Feihuang's muscles bulged, and with his strength surging, he shook with force, shattering the Doomsday Wind Ball.

Wiping a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth—it was just a minor injury, and Feihuang didn't care at all. If this kind of injury were treated a little later, it would have been self-healed by the Blue Silver Emperor's ability of "wildfire cannot burn it out, spring breeze blows it back to life."

"Your Excellency Qingluan, come again!" Feihuang raised his Halberd and charged again.

He was completely at a disadvantage. Even though the Golden Body increased all his attributes again, the Qingluan Douluo had also activated his fourth and fifth soul skills, and his fourth and fifth soul skills were actually all for speed acceleration.

Instant body movement plus dual soul skill amplification.

His speed at this moment was more than twice as fast as Nan Feihuang's.

Feihuang had stronger power and soul skills than him, but had absolutely no room to display them.

Dragon Cannon Annihilation and Flying Dragon in the Sky couldn't hit him at all, and the gaps in the defense of Divine Fire Raging would be instantly seized by Qingluan.

Invincible Golden Body did have flawless defense, but this move had time limits and usage limits. The Qingluan Douluo was cautious by nature, and long before the battle with Nan Feihuang, he had collected as much information about him as possible.

As long as Feihuang activated Invincible Golden Body, Qingluan would retreat at a touch, not giving Feihuang any chance to counter-attack, and once the time for the Golden Body passed, he would attack again.

The Self-created Soul Skill Mind Eye taught by Guangling, as well as the Azure Extinction Divine Claw, were indeed both locking skills.

But the prerequisite for a locking skill to take effect was that one had to lock onto the opponent first.

At this moment, the Qingluan Douluo was moving at super-high speed every second, and Feihuang simply couldn't lock onto him.

He actually relied solely on speed to make most of Nan Feihuang's skills completely useless.
