Chapter 448: Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique
"Eh, where is Lingyun?" Just as the bloody battle began, Aiweier suddenly discovered that Lingyun, who had been by his side, was unexpectedly gone.
"Forget it, no time to worry about that, let's fight!" Aiweier spread his hands, and several Wind Blades swept out from his hands, knocking several Bloodthirsty Wolves in the distance flying.
The surrounding Bloodthirsty Wolves swarmed up crazily, their reckless attacks putting the mercenaries' defensive line in imminent danger. In the distance, the tall Bloodthirsty Wolf King finally revealed its form.
The Bloodthirsty Wolf King stood on a hill, watching the battle below, a glimmer of excitement flashing in its eyes. As long as it waited for the black storm to arrive and initiated the Wolf King Blood Sacrifice, it would be able to ascend to a Bloodthirsty Wolf Emperor in one fell swoop. By then, those mangy birds flying in the sky would be no match for it.
A whistling wind came from afar, and a black pillar of wind that pierced through heaven and earth appeared on the horizon, galloping toward this direction.
"Th-this is, a black storm?" Looking at the wind pillar in the distance, a ruthless glint flashed in Kanglikeduo's eyes. "This is fine, too. Using the lives of us people to bury these tens of thousands of Bloodthirsty Wolves, it can be considered not a loss!"
"Eh, where is my sword?" Seeing the black storm appear, Aiweier reached out his hand to draw the Wind Holy Sword, only to discover that the Wind Holy Sword on his back had disappeared at some point.
"Awoo—" A blood-red light suddenly surged from the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's body, and streaks of blood-colored Wind Blades appeared around it.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss—" The blood-colored Wind Blades turned into lethal streams of light, shooting toward the direction of the caravan, aiming directly at Mo Lao. It remembered that this human was a Saint Domain Magician, and it didn't know how many of its subordinates had died at his hands.
Just as the blood-colored Wind Blades were closing in on Mo Lao, the winds and clouds between heaven and earth changed color, and a massive wind wall suddenly rose around the caravan, blasting all the Bloodthirsty Wolves in front of them away.
"Th-this is?" Standing in the middle of the caravan, Mo Lao looked at the suddenly appearing wind wall, his expression changing drastically. "This is a Wind Element Saint Domain Magic, Eye of the Storm? I never expected that the Eye of the Storm could actually be used like this?"
In Mo Lao's understanding, the Eye of the Storm was a top-tier offensive Saint Domain Magic of the Wind Element; its powerful destructive force and massive range were enough to make anyone tremble. But the Eye of the Storm that appeared now had enveloped the entire caravan, and the powerful wind wall tore any Bloodthirsty Wolf that dared to rush up into shreds, becoming a formidable Defensive Magic.
After the Eye of the Storm appeared, the blood-colored Wind Blades also quietly appeared before the wind wall. However, facing the formidable wind wall, the blood-colored Wind Blades ultimately failed to break through its defense and were completely torn apart by the wind wall.
In the sky, Lingyun closed his eyes, the gale whistling around him, wrapping him in a massive ball of wind. Inside the wind ball, a cyan stream of light shuttled rapidly around Lingyun; it was precisely the Wind Holy Sword from Aiweier's back. Lingyun was actually using the Wind Holy Sword as a conduit to absorb the power of the black storm in the distance.
"Awoo—" The wolf howl sounded again, but this time the howl carried immense fury; clearly, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King had discovered that someone was siphoning the power of the black storm.
The Bloodthirsty Wolf King didn't know how long it had prepared for this day; how could it allow someone to sabotage it? The Bloodthirsty Wolf King suddenly soared into the air and charged toward Lingyun's direction.
Sensing the killing intent constantly closing in on him, a smile curled at the corner of Lingyun's mouth. The wind ball around him expanded a few more degrees in an instant, and terrifying power spread continuously around him, even showing faint signs of distorting space.
"Damned human, I want you to die—"
Seeing Lingyun still absorbing the power of the black storm, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King let out an angry roar, and countless Wind Blades were spat out from its mouth, shooting toward Lingyun inside the wind ball. The power of the black storm was something it intended to use to elevate its own strength; now that someone was snatching food from the wolf's mouth, how could it not be furious.
Facing the lethal Wind Blades speeding toward him, Lingyun reached out and grasped the Wind Holy Sword beside him, his aura instantly climbing to its peak. The wind ball around him suddenly burst open, turning into a hurricane that swept wildly in all directions, completely blowing away the Wind Blades spat out by the Bloodthirsty Wolf King.
Lingyun held the Long sword, looking indifferently at the Bloodthirsty Wolf King before him. Around him, ribbons of cyan light lingered; this was a phenomenon that only appeared in this world when Wind Elements gathered to a certain degree. The Wind Elements in the black storm were impure and chaotic, but with the Wind Holy Sword in hand, Lingyun easily purged the impurities mixed within the Wind Elements, greatly increasing their power.
The moment the Wind Blades were blown away by the gale, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King did not hesitate to unfold its Domain. In its beastly intuition, the enemy before it was more terrifying than any enemy it had encountered before. If it didn't bring out twelve-tenths of its power to fight, let alone initiating the Wolf Emperor Blood Sacrifice, whether it could survive was a question.
The scarlet Domain instantly enveloped both sides, pulling the man and the wolf into the Domain Space. The Bloodthirsty Wolf King's Domain was called the Bloodthirsty Domain; it could not only significantly boost its attack power and speed, but it also had a powerful amplification effect on the Wind Element Magic it mastered.
The moment it opened its Domain, thousands of blood-colored Wind Blades formed around it, carrying violent killing intent and pouncing toward Lingyun's direction like a rainstorm.
"Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique!" Lingyun held the sword in one hand and slashed forward. The cyan ribbons of light around him gathered rapidly, forming a lifelike cyan giant dragon.
The instant the giant dragon appeared, a circle of cyan light waves spread out from Lingyun's side, enveloping him within it. After the blood-colored Wind Blades flew into the range of the light waves, they experienced rapid decay, finally turning into specks of light and disappearing before Lingyun.
Just as the Wind Blades disappeared, the Bloodthirsty Domain also began to vibrate; this was the result of two different Domains colliding with each other.
Without any hesitation, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King let out a roar, its form instantly expanding into a giant beast tens of meters tall, charging toward Lingyun's direction. The cyan giant dragon beside Lingyun likewise let out a dragon roar, turning into a cyan ray of light and pouncing toward the Bloodthirsty Wolf King.
The Bloodthirsty Wolf King raised its claw and swiped down at the cyan light. The cyan light, however, twisted slightly, slipped out from under the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's claw, and then began to rotate rapidly around it. By the time the Bloodthirsty Wolf King reacted, it had already been enveloped in a massive cyan vortex.
"What is this thing?" Countless blood-colored Wind Blades appeared around the Bloodthirsty Wolf King, shooting toward the vortex.
"Ding, ding, ding—" The blood-colored Wind Blades struck the vortex, but only caused a string of brilliant sparks, unable to cause any impact on the vortex.
Suddenly, streaks of cyan Wind Blades emerged from the vortex, shooting toward the Bloodthirsty Wolf King at the center of the vortex. The Bloodthirsty Wolf King couldn't dodge in time and took these few Wind Blades directly with its physical body.
The Wind Blades slashed onto the Bloodthirsty Wolf King, tearing several wounds into its body. The Bloodthirsty Wolf King immediately let out a pained roar; it had never expected that its fur, which possessed powerful defense, would be unable to withstand these seemingly ordinary Wind Blades.
Seeing the Wind Blades emerge once again, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King dared not be negligent; blood-colored Wind Blades likewise emerged from its side, blasting toward the Wind Blades. Instantly, the vortex was plunged into a chaotic battle between the two types of Wind Blades.
Outside the vortex, the power on Lingyun's body was constantly boiling. The Wind Holy Sword in his hand emitted a hum, and then one after another, cyan sword shadows separated from the sword. In just a moment, Lingyun's surroundings were filled with dense sword shadows.
"Qingxuan Domain Breaker!" Lingyun suddenly plunged the Wind Holy Sword in his hand into the ground. The sword shadows around his body instantly shot out in all directions, then exploded with a special rhythm and cadence.
Under the explosions of the heavy Sword Qi, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's Bloodthirsty Domain suddenly rippled. The power generated by the chain-exploding Sword Qi interfered with the operation of the Bloodthirsty Domain in a special way. Under these circumstances, the cyan light waves around Lingyun expanded rapidly, soon spreading to the entire Bloodthirsty Domain. Subsequently, the Qingxuan Domain collided with full force against the Bloodthirsty Domain. Receiving such a heavy blow, the Bloodthirsty Domain twisted for a moment, then shattered with a boom, and the figures of the two appeared in the sky once again.
With the Domain broken, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's body trembled, and it almost spat out a mouthful of blood directly. However, its crisis had only just begun; after appearing in the outside world, the vortex that had been suppressed by the Bloodthirsty Domain finally revealed its fangs, transforming into a pillar of wind that pierced heaven and earth, tightly enveloping the Bloodthirsty Wolf King within it.
