Chapter 528: Chapter 517: Crisis, the Indescribable Evil Qi
Gangfeng Mountain Range, a place of tranquility, its picturesque scenery like a painting, everywhere the song of birds and the fragrance of flowers, making one feel carefree and joyful at a glance.
The mountain range extends endlessly, full of vitality.
Though devoid of wild beasts, the lush greenery alone can captivate many poets and scholars, making them reluctant to leave.
However, this place is also a Forbidden Area, where the Gangfeng winds blow all year round, making those who love beautiful landscapes hesitate.
At this mont, the Gangfeng Mountain Range was initially filled with the song of birds and the scent of flowers when suddenly, out of nowhere, a breeze began to blow.
The breeze echoed through the mountains.
Normally, the breeze in the mountains is quite ordinary, yet in an instant, it turned into a wild wind.
As it transford from a breeze to a wild wind, an intense sound of wind began to echo throughout the Gangfeng Mountain Range.
At this ti, whether humans or demon creatures, pseudo-gods, all sensed the arrival of the wild wind.
Qin An and others were searching for the whereabouts of the Heart of Gangfeng, without encountering any danger along the way.
But when the sound of the wind arose, Yueye and Tong Daoshuai’s faces suddenly changed.
Yueye reacted quickly, shouted: "Everyone, use your protective techniques, the Gangfeng is coming, if you can’t resist, seek aid from your colleagues."
As soon as the words fell, the furious wild wind ca rushing, bringing with it a howling sound, surging around.
The surrounding trees were blown by the wild wind, making a rustling sound, sending a chill down one’s spine.
And the wild wind was like sharp knives, fiercely attacking Qin An and others.
As the wild wind hit, all present Tong Daoshuai swiftly used their respective protective techniques.
Yueye shook her long whip, its scales all shattered, covering her entire body, making her appear as if enveloped in a steel body.
While Liu Ping, who used a dagger, wielded it, weaving threads of silk.
The silk threads expanded, cold air forming icy powers, sealing everything around.
The rest of the Tong Daoshuai also employed their own protective techniques.
Zheng Rou’s protective technique was extrely simple, a flick of the ribbon, its Void Essence entwining the ribbon, then forming a barrier in front, enveloping all directions.
The wild wind had already arrived by this ti.
Qin An felt a slight sense of pressure, stomped lightly, and the Void Essence within him spread like a torrent, forming a cyan-black dharma image behind him.
Like having spirituality, the dharma image bent over, guarding Qin An’s entire body.
At this ti, the sound of the wind finally approached.
The next mont, Qin An felt as if countless knives were scraping against the dharma image.
The dharma image trembled, cracks appeared, as if about to shatter at any mont.
Qin An narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Gangfeng is truly formidable."
Not to ntion, resisting the Gangfeng is impossible below the Void Shattering Realm.
Just find a cool place to lie down, as long as the body doesn’t rot.
Fortunately, as the Gangfeng swept over, Qin An’s Nine Revolutions Sea of Evil dharma image was still able to resist.
Qin An operated the Void Essence again, the Gangfeng seed to fall upon steel.
The initially shattering dharma image imdiately healed.
Qin An even had the leisure to look around, observing the surroundings.
The surrounding Tong Daoshuai each had their own protective techniques, resisting quite well.
But the weakest, Zheng Rou, was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
She was well-versed in the technique of overcoming hardness with softness, but her ribbon was sowhat lacking in defense.
Though barely able to resist, it was quite strenuous.
Once this Gangfeng blows over, she would certainly suffer significant depletion.
Seeing this situation, Qin An thought for a mont, then raised his hand to pat Zheng Rou’s shoulder.
Zheng Rou was slightly stunned, turned to look, and saw Qin An’s cyan-black dharma image rapidly expanding, enveloping her as well like a steel barrier.
The Gangfeng struck the dharma image, but the image was unmoved.
Zheng Rou was montarily puzzled, then understood Qin An’s intention, eyes showing a hint of appreciation.
Since her father’s death, she had already left her father’s protection, began to walk independently within the Evil Extermination Bureau.
Sotis in the dark night, she often wondered if what she was doing was necessary.
But she knew very well, following her father’s path upwards was her life’s greatest dream.
At this mont, when Qin An’s dharma image enveloped her, she suddenly felt a warmth, reminiscent of when her father protected her.
Qin An also saw the appreciation on Zheng Rou’s face, shook his head: "Don’t be moved, it’s just within my capability, after all, I don’t wish to see my forr ally perish."
This statent stunned Zheng Rou.
Zheng Rou rarely retracted her shy expression, glancing sideways at Qin An.
The Gangfeng would blow for a long ti, in this Gangfeng, the group could only use such defense techniques to protect themselves, unable to move a step.
Luckily, no one encountered any further incidents.
As the Gangfeng gradually subsided, the surroundings were in chaos, as if swept by blades.
Yueye took the lead to withdraw the protective technique, ensuring safety, then said: "Everyone can withdraw their cultivation techniques now."
She was the leader this ti, thus such matters had to be done by her.
The leader indeed could garner greater achievents, but like today, she would also face greater risks when taking the lead to withdraw the protective technique.
It can only be said, the greater the reward, the greater the risk.
The group, hearing Yueye’s words, then withdrew their protective techniques.
At this mont, the mountain path was swept by the wild wind, left in a terrible state.
The next mont, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The chaotic mountain path actually rapidly recovered at visible speeds.
Yueye seeing this scene, slowly said: "These plants, including the ground and various rocks, have long adapted to the attacks of the Gangfeng, under such mighty power, they seem to recover faster."
This explanation made the group nod together, understanding more about the mysteriousness of the Forbidden Area.
At this mont, the sky had already darkened.
Without waiting for the group to say more, Yueye waved her hand: "Continue forward."
The group no longer lingered, followed the mountain path deeper.
As Qin An and his companions ventured deeper, the sky grew increasingly dark.
The sun set, and even the last traces of sunset vanished completely.
Replacing it was the gentle moonlight and the twinkling stars.
Under the moonlight, the mountain path gradually beca clear.
Whether it was the rocks or the trees and vegetation, everything seed cloaked in a layer of silver, appearing quite picturesque.
As the group moved further ahead, the terrain in front beca more open.
Soon, they reached the midsection of the mountain.
Passing this midsection, they could climb over the mountain.
As for finding the Heart of Gale, the thod was actually quite simple.
Whenever the Heart of Gale appears, it is inevitably accompanied by an even more fierce wind sound, audible up to a hundred miles away.
As their journey had not encountered any wind sounds, not finding the Heart of Gale was perfectly normal.
In front of them was an open area at the mountain’s midsection, but currently, shouts and sounds of battle erupted from this area.
Yueye squinted her beautiful eyes and waved her hand, saying, "Quietly approach and observe the situation."
Following that, the group executed Yueye’s command and used their respective body techniques to quietly approach.
The scene ahead beca gradually clearer, and the location of the battle sounds also appeared before them.
Not far ahead, a human faction was engaged in battle with a faction of mythical beasts.
The human faction wielded long swords, and their sword moves were extrely fierce.
Furthermore, their attire was uniform, clearly indicating they belonged to a single faction.
The beast faction, however, was split into two groups.
One group was leopard-like beasts, their bodies as colorful as copper coins, transford from leopards.
The other beast faction had bodies covered in green scales, occasionally spitting out forked tongues.
This was a faction of snake demons.
Although Qin An rarely visited the Confidential Library, he knew so details about the mythical beast factions.
The leopard demons were a lower faction of the Tianyun Path, known as the Swift Wind Leopard Demons, cultivating wind attribute cultivation techniques.
The other snake demons were Wind Sky Snakes, also fundantally cultivating wind attribute techniques.
The other human faction was the Wind Cloud Sword Sect, whose Wind Cloud Swordsmanship was extrely swift, harnessing the power of the wind, and quite famous among the lower factions of the Tianyun Path.
The Gale Mountain Range is a paradise for wind attribute cultivators, so it’s quite normal for them to be attracted here.
Now, the situation was clear without a word.
Wind Cloud Sword Sect had encountered the Wind Sky Snakes and Swift Wind Leopard Demons, and these two beast factions had united to annihilate the disciples of Wind Cloud Sword Sect.
The two factions combined against one faction resulted in an overwhelming advantage.
Under such overwhelming pressure, the disciples of Wind Cloud Sword Sect were gradually retreating, their injuries worsening.
Perhaps within one or two incense sticks’ ti, they would all et their doom.
All the Tong Daoshuai shifted their gaze to Yueye, suggesting that Yueye should decide the course of action.
Yueye paused, waved her long whip, and quietly said, "Slay these mythical beasts."
These human factions are here to seek their fortunes.
It’s fine to search for fortunes, as long as they don’t trouble the Evil Extermination Bureau.
Being fellow human factions, naturally, they should lend a helping hand.
This is also the duty of the Evil Extermination Bureau.
After Yueye spoke, all the Tong Daoshuai exchanged glances, then stord toward the battlefield without hesitation.
Initially locked in a stalemate, the Wind Cloud Sword Sect turned their heads upon hearing the wind, seeing a large group of Evil Extermination Bureau mbers rapidly approaching.
The middle-aged man leading them imdiately showed a hint of excitent.
"The adults from the Evil Extermination Bureau have arrived, everyone be careful and coordinate with the Bureau to kill these two demon creatures!"
Upon hearing this, both the Swift Wind Leopard Demons and the Wind Sky Snakes noticed the anomaly.
Both beast factions imdiately turned, splitting so forces to charge at Yueye and the others.
The two sides were mortal enemies, practically in a life-or-death state.
Now, having been discovered, there was no choice but to fight to the death.
The battle began quickly, but the ensuing battle completely turned around.
The mbers of the Evil Extermination Bureau had profound strength, resulting in one-sided slaughter.
Within a few breaths, the beast factions were reduced to corpses scattered on the ground.
The disciples of Wind Cloud Sword Sect all collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Having narrowly escaped death to now be alive again.
This dramatic turn of events almost left them unable to catch their breath.
Yueye led the Evil Extermination Bureau mbers, silently cleaning up the battlefield.
After the battlefield was tidied up, she cast a deep look at the disciples of Wind Cloud Sword Sect before preparing to leave.
After all, their mission was to find the Heart of Gale, and this place was just a small interlude for them.
No one expected, as Yueye stepped forward a few paces, the leading middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
"My lords, wait, do not step beyond this mountain at this mont, or unimaginable danger awaits."
Upon hearing this, Yueye halted, turned to the middle-aged man, and spoke coldly.
"What’s your na? And what do you an by danger?"
The middle-aged man quickly introduced himself, "I am Qian Yu, an elder of Wind Cloud Sword Sect, ordered to seek resources in the Forbidden Area. As for the danger here, it is due to the indescribable presence from the Forbidden Area."
"Anyone attempting to step beyond this mountain will be shredded by invisible gales. Several disciples of Wind Cloud Sword Sect have t such fate, and the gale is terrifying."
"If my lord doesn’t believe, look at my injuries."
With that, Qian Yu rolled up the sleeve of his arm, revealing deep wounds reaching the bone.
Upon seeing the scars, Qin An slightly furrowed his brow.
"This is Evil Qi."
