Dark Blood Path

Chapter 30: Wind Bead’s Might

Wang Yunfei approached him calmly. The turquoise orb in his palm shrank rapidly until it got completely sucked into a ring in his finger, after which a long two-handed sword five to six feet long materialized out of thin air in his hands. Its edge shone like a dazzling mirror, and it was obviously not an ordinary weapon.

Oh, a space ring? That sword is also pretty good. Jin Shi showed a look of surprise, You really had your own adventures and amassed plenty of treasures.

Wang Yunfei snorted coldly, You should be concerned about yourself.

Without any hesitation, Jin Shi pushed on the ground with both legs, and the soil sank deeply before his massive figure lunged up. Holding a large shield in his left hand to block and wielding one goblin short spear in his right hand, he stabbed straight at Wang Yunfei with that momentum. The latter dodged quickly, then swung his sword back in retaliation.

Dang!

The two-handed sword slashed against the goblin shield, and the dull sound caused the eardrums of the surrounding people to ache. Several small cracks formed on the earth beneath Jin shis feet, and his left arm felt numb from the shock, but he did not stop at all. Wielding the short spear, He swept across but was stopped by Wang Yunfeis horizontal sword strike, and the two fought intensely against each other.

In terms of pure physical strength, Wang Yunfei was somewhat stronger than Jinshi. However, the latter used to be a sports fanatic who enjoyed all kinds of athletics, as he even practiced martial arts such as Xing Yi Quan and Sanda during his school days. Therefore, his grasp over defense and body coordination was far superior to regular peoples. Thus with these advantages in hand, he faintly overwhelmed the other party in this melee battle.

But, most importantly, he, like Wang Chao, did not use his innate skill just yet.

After more than a dozen exchanges of blows, Wang Yunfei was ultimately wounded in the shoulder by a spear attck from Jin shi. The scale armor deflected most of the impact, but the spearhead still managed to pierce through his shoulder. If not for the armor, his arm would have become completely useless. He screamed in agony and slashed the short spear furiously with his long sword, severing it instantly. Jin Shi took advantage of this moment to advance, and the goblin shield slammed into Wang Yunfeis chest, knocking him several meters away.

Jin shi, catch!

A fine Arts academy student in the crowd tossed his goblin short spear into the air, and Jin Shi reached out his hand to catch it.

Wang Yunfei stood up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a gloomy expression: You got some skills, but your strength is insufficient. If you two dont stop here, dont blame Wang for being cruel!

Jin Shi laughed out loud, You talk a lot for someone whos about to die. Too bad you run of luck today!

A ruthless look flashed in Wang Yunfeis eyes, and he made a difficult decision before thrusting the big sword down forcefully, inserting its tip into the ground. Right afterward, the turquoise orb reappeared in his left hand amidst a brilliant bloom of light; while he stood motionless on the spot, coldly looking at the charging figure of Jin shi, he neither reacted nor dodged.

He put down his weapon whats his plan?

Jin Shi felt something was wrong as he remembered Xiao Yus warning. Nevertheless, he didnt want to throw away this opportunity. The short spear stabbed toward his opponents head quickly, but the momentum was much weaker than before, enabling him to withdraw at any moment.

Die!

Wang Yunfei roared savagely, and the orb in his hand burst into a blinding golden light, which was followed by a harsh howl ringing in everyones ears. Right afterward, they could see a stream of golden sand emerge from thin air and whirl around him. A sand tornado with a diameter of one meter and a height of three erupted in an instant, and light cyan wind blades whirled around it, totally enclosing Wang Yunfei inside. When the short spear struck the tornado, the spears body was immediately shredded by the tearing force of the sand and the slashing waves of the wind blades, as though a piece of frail paper got torn apart.

The weapon simply could not resist such power!

Jin Shis complexion changed drastically. He immediately stopped, staggered a few steps back, and stared blankly at the half-shattered short spear in his hand, revealing a trace of astonishment and bewilderment. His right arm was also injured to some extent, with half of it being wounded and scratched. If I hadnt reacted, my arm would have become completely useless!

Your reaction is quite fast! Wang Yunfei chuckled lightly, now you cant hurt me at all; however, you forced me to use this artifact which is.unforgivable; all of you are going to die here today!

Deeper in the woods, on top of a tree branch, a rare look of odd excitement got plastered on Xiao Yus usual calm face as he observed that scene just now, then he murmured to himself.: This is the stabilizing wind bead. Could this person be the Great Sand Emperor Wang Yunfei!

Despite Wang Yunfeis introducing himself earlier, his voice was difficult to be heard here due to the distance. But Xiao Yu quickly confirmed his identity when he observed the abilities of that orb. In his past life, he was a tremendously powerful man known as the Great sand Emperor! This persons name was Wang Yunfei, the guys actual strength could barely be squeezed into the worlds top echelon, but with a stroke of good fortune, he managed to acquire the Book of Sand, one of the six mystical books that existed on the continent of chaos and contained magical powers beyond belief. The earth-shattering abilities of the book were enough to make his strength skyrocket to the point where it became on par with Han Kexin, the renowned Bloody Queen!

In the future, the stabilizing wind bead would play a crucial adjunct role in obtaining the Book of Sand and its powers. While In the early stage, it was a treasure that combined both attack and defense and was quite useful!

Xiao Yu stood up and said to the people around him: Get ready, fatty and stone are definitely no match for that man, were going to block his path.

Han Kexin: whats your plan?

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, My eyes of insight can see through the power of all weapons and skills. This stabilizing wind beads defense is impervious to all attacks below the first-order level. We have practically little chance of succeeding in a frontal assault. But, as far as I can tell, the protection just above the head area is pretty weak, and that will be our only opportunity.

Wang Yunfei looked at Jin Shi, whose face was full of astonishment, and with a playful expression, he laughed and said: Why did you go quiet after being so arrogant just now? I thought you were very strong, but it turns out youre all talk. I cant squander this artifacts energy any longer; the next move will end your life!

Jin Shi snorted, Tch, cut the bullshit! Even though he said that, he had experienced the amazing power of the stabilizing wind bead firsthand, so he didnt dare to be the least bit careless.

Holding the bead in both hands, Wang Yunfei roared out, Sand Spear! As soon as his voice fell, the air around him fluctuated in the form of waves visible to the naked eye. A violent whirlwind of sand, along with cyan wind blades, rose from the surroundings and gathered above his head to form a long rotating spear of wind and sand. Wang Yunfei waved down his hands forcefully, and the light of the stabilizing wind bead blazed before the sand spear shot out with a frightening whistling sound. Wherever it passed, the air twisted, and the flying sand filled the air. The momentum of this attack was simply astonishing.

The attack was too fast; it was impossible to dodge with his current speed!

Jinshi thought quickly, and he held the goblin shield across his chest.

With an ear-piercing screech, the sand spear landed on the shield, and its momentum didnt stop as it continued to fly for over ten meters away. In mid-air, the shield pushed back against his chest with great force. Then suddenly, there was a crisp crackling sound, and a gap appeared in the goblin shield before the sand spear pierced through and finally struck Jin shis chest!

Stone!

Seeing this, Wang Chao didnt dare to hide his innate skill anymore and directly entered the berserk state. His strength and speed were greatly improved in an instant, and right afterward, he smashed through the defense of the one-eyed man with an axe slash, and the attack cleaved his chest. In a splash of blood, Wang Chao turned and walked away without looking back at his opponent, dragging the battle ax and rushing towards Wang Yunfei. He held his weapon tightly with both hands and slashed toward his waist, only to be blocked by the other partys tornado sand barrier. Wang Chao didnt linger around, and after he failed his first blow, he immediately retreated and pulled up Jin shi that was lying on the ground.

Second head! Wang Yunfei noticed that the one-eyed man had been knocked down and then looked at Jinshi, who was lifted up by his companion, and he was shocked, How is this possible? How is it that he can live after being hit with such an attack?

Jin Shi was supported up by Wang Chao as dust and gravel fell down from his chest, which was mostly rocky shaped. He now had a thick layer of stones on top of his chest, as if he was wearing a rock vest. However, a hole the size of a fist emerged on the rock particles on his body at this moment, and the encircling surface was covered in fractures, with traces of blood oozing from it. That blow was extremely powerful. Not only did it break the goblin shield, but it almost shattered his partial rock-strewn body. Without the goblin shields help in absorbing most of the force, he would have probably been in a critical situation, even with the help of his partial rock formation ability.

That bead is extremely powerful; we cant beat him. Lets go!

Jin Shi and Wang Chao looked at each other in blank dismay and immediately ran toward the forest without hesitation. Seeing this, the others followed them in a hurry.

Hmph, since youre here, dont think about leaving. Just stay here forever!

Wang Yunfei knew that the power of the stabilizing wind beads attack just now was almost close to the first-order level, and it was enough to kill most monsters below the first-order. Yet unexpectedly, he still failed to kill the opponent. However, he soon discovered that Jin Shi and Wang Chaos bodies had undergone tremendous changes, and he marveled at their unusual abilities, which made him even more determined to kill them both.

The stabilizing wind bead was an artifact with a great amount of power, but the energy contained in it could not be recovered by itself. In a sense, the more you use it, the lesser its energy reserves until there will be no power left altogether! Hence, If these two individuals were allowed to escape, it would be like allowing a tiger to flee his cage, which may bring him some unknown troubles in the future!

Wind Blade!

Wang Yunfei raised the bead high in the air, and a cyan-colored wave of energy quickly condensed above his head and into a three-meter-long cyan wind blade before it flew toward the two of them. The speed of the sharp wind blade was three points faster than the Sand Spear. However, the moment the wind blade was formed, Wang Chao felt a sense of danger with his beast-like intuition. At that instant, he pushed Jin shis body forward and retreated backward with that momentum as the cyan wind blade flew out from between the two of them and shot into the distant forest, cutting off several massive trees in quick succession.

Wang Chao and Jin Shi felt chills run down their spines after witnessing the incredible strength of the wind blade. The two speeded up and rushed into the woods. Wang Yunfei frowned and finally gritted his teeth, Follow me; we must kill them all. No one should remain alive!

After speaking, Wang Yunfei was the first to give chase.

Xiao Yu closely observed his movements and raised a short spear with his right hand. The moment Wang Yunfei rushed into the woods and was about to attack with his wind bead once more, Xiao Yu swung his right arm violently, and the short spear came out through the gaps of the dense twigs and foliage as it shot straight at the opponent.

To Wang Yunfei, The two were already within his striking range, and he became certain that he could kill them both, but then another whistling shriek rang out in his ears. His face turned ugly, and he immediately slumped down to the ground as the short spear flew over the top of his head. The spear body trembled slightly after its end got embedded in the trunk of a large tree right behind him.

Not good; its an ambush! Wang Yunfeis expression changed drastically, everyone, fall back!

(TN: Wang Yunfei doesnt have an innate ability, and neither does his friend. Thats why he was shocked by those transformations)
