Although the two Hurricane Wolves were upper fifth grade, they merely relied on their speed advantage.
In terms of combat power, they could probably only burst with about two hundred thousand pounds of force like a middling fifth-grade Wuzong—they simply couldn’t compare with strength-type Fire Dragon Beasts!
Jun Changxiao was a super second-grade Wuzong with strength nearing three hundred fifty thousand pounds, plus he had the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade.
Moreover.
He also cultivated Cloud Crossing Steps, so his speed wasn’t weak either!
Killing two upper fifth-grade Hurricane Wolves was naturally easy and relaxed.
“Awoo!”
The Wolf King’s roar sounded again—this time issuing a retreat command!
“Swish! Swish!”
In an instant, several hundred Hurricane Wolves fled backward one after another, each running faster than the last!
This human was too terrifying—they wished they could disappear immediately!
“Want to run?”
Jun Changxiao pursued using Cloud Crossing Steps.
Swish!
Swish!
The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade swung frequently, the blade energy formed ruthlessly tearing apart Hurricane Wolf after Hurricane Wolf!
Although quite a few still escaped.
However, the corpses littering the path numbered at least one hundred.
“Real cowards.”
Jun Changxiao gave up the pursuit, put away the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, took out the Cold Light Sword, and began skinning and extracting cores.
At least seven hundred Hurricane Wolf corpses lay here. Collecting from them would take some time, but the harvest was quite good!
Not even mentioning the large quantity of high-quality wolf pelts—just the wind-attribute cores numbered over four hundred.
From middle fifth grade to middle eighth grade cores, a total of 310.
Middle ninth-grade cores: 54. Upper first-grade cores: 12. Upper fifth-grade cores: 2.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao opened the Talisman Pavilion and clicked on the Swift Movement Talisman. The displayed panel showed—
Wind attribute upper fifth-grade cores: 2/1.
Wind attribute upper first-grade cores: 12/2.
Wind attribute middle ninth-grade cores: 54/5.
Qi Vortex Pills: 650/1.
The [Refine] button below finally lit up after materials were automatically matched.
However, because there were only two of the most important upper fifth-grade cores, only two talismans could be refined.
“Better than nothing.”
Jun Changxiao was quite content and directly clicked on refine.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The talismans began refining mechanically.
Refining talismans required time. Jun Changxiao closed the panel and looked at the corpses all over the ground, saying: “These wolf beasts are pretty high grade—the meat should be delicious. Should I pack some?”
“Smack, smack!”
Little Dragon had already stopped before a wolf beast corpse and opened its maw wide to tear and bite.
Alright then.
He’d butcher some more.
The spatial ring gifted by the System had large capacity, plus there were many backup rings—he could store quite a lot of beast meat.
…
“Ding!”
Two hours later, a notification sound rang.
Inside the spatial ring gifted by the System, a Swift Movement Talisman appeared out of thin air.
Jun Changxiao examined it carefully and discovered it was similar to the one he had used back then. Unable to contain his joy, he said: “The effect should be about the same as the one gifted in the gift pack, right?”
Among the three types of talismans in the Talisman Pavilion, only the initial-grade Strength Increase Talisman had detailed descriptions. The Perception Talisman and Swift Movement Talisman did not.
“The host is overthinking.”
The System said: “Talismans refined from the Talisman Pavilion mostly have reduced effectiveness, compensated by duration.”
“Alright.”
Jun Changxiao took out the Swift Movement Talisman and murmured: “Should I try it?”
“You can.”
The System said: “I’ll help the host judge the effectiveness and duration.”
“Snap!”
Jun Changxiao directly crushed it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of special power merged into his legs, immediately giving him the urge to start running.
The System said: “The Swift Movement Talisman refined from the Talisman Pavilion is half as effective as the gift pack version, but its duration reaches two hours.”
Reducing effectiveness by half while extending from one hour to two hours—no matter how you looked at it, it seemed somewhat disadvantageous.
“Little Dragon, Little Ice Sculpture.”
Jun Changxiao said: “You wait here. I’ll go and come right back.”
“Roar!”
The Ice Crystal Lion Beast responded with a low growl.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao dragged an afterimage and vanished from the spot.
Little Dragon and the Ice Crystal Lion Beast immediately widened their eyes at the sight.
Heavens!
Master’s speed was so fast they couldn’t even see him clearly!
…
Swish! Swish!
Jun Changxiao raced through the mountain forest, dragging afterimages behind him!
The System analyzed: “Although not fast enough to solidify the afterimage for a period of time, at the host’s current speed, you’re infinitely close.”
“Not bad.” Jun Changxiao said.
Actually, being this fast—the talisman’s enhancement was one aspect, employing Cloud Crossing Steps was another.
Of course.
Sect Leader Jun who crushed the Swift Movement Talisman wasn’t simply testing speed—he was heading toward the direction those Hurricane Wolves had fled.
Wind-attribute ferocious beasts?
Today, this one will compete with you to see who runs faster!
“Whoosh!”
In the mountain forest, a flash of light vanished in an instant.
Without a distant camera angle, it would be very difficult to capture Jun Changxiao’s figure.
…
“Awoo!”
At a certain mountain cave, wolf howls transmitted outward.
This was the Hurricane Wolves’ lair. Inside was extremely spacious, sufficient to accommodate two to three thousand wolf beasts.
At this moment, the magnificent Hurricane Wolf King stood atop a giant stone inside the cave, raising its head and howling low, as if comforting its defeated subordinates.
Looking carefully into the cave, one would discover that inside were not only nearly a thousand Hurricane Wolves but also many human skeletal remains.
Those were all martial cultivators who came to explore the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and became food.
“Awoo!”
The several hundred Gale Wolves that had luckily survived the blade followed their king’s low howls, seemingly mourning their dead companions.
They rarely encountered opponents in the mountain range. This time so many were killed—the losses could be called devastating.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a cold wind blew.
The howling Hurricane Wolf King suddenly stopped, its cold eyes looking over to see a human wielding a blade standing at the cave entrance!
It’s him!
The detestable fellow who killed countless of my subordinates!
“Tsk tsk.”
Jun Changxiao, who had followed the sounds here, raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and said: “I didn’t expect there to be so many Hurricane Wolves in the cave—perfect for materials.”
“Awoo!”
The Hurricane Wolf King roared.
“Swish! Swish!”
Four upper fifth-grade Hurricane Wolves immediately charged forward, simultaneously spraying wind vortex projectiles toward the cave entrance.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao dragged afterimages and gracefully dodged.
“Die!”
Swish—
Instantly approaching one Hurricane Wolf, hand raised, blade fell, viciously severing its head.
Splurt!
Splurt!
Splurt!
Three more blade strikes.
The heads of the other three upper fifth-grade Hurricane Wolves separated from their bodies!
How fast was it?
Fast enough that the nearly thousand Hurricane Wolves in the cave all showed humanized terror in their eyes.
Wind-attribute ferocious beasts were renowned for speed.
Jun Changxiao’s speed prevented them from clearly capturing his figure!
“Roar!”
The Hurricane Wolf King roared and charged forth riding wind vortexes.
This human was too strong. Sending subordinates forward was just sending them to death—it could only act personally!
Swish!
The Hurricane Wolf King’s strength was upper ninth grade—its speed far exceeded upper fifth-grade Hurricane Wolves.
As it charged, the wind vortex projectile it spat carried force of at least three hundred thousand pounds!
Jun Changxiao’s speed was also fast—he dodged a step ahead.
“Boom!”
The wind vortex projectile directly struck the mountain wall, immediately shattering many stone fragments and blasting out a large hole.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao circled around, azure blade gleam sweeping forth ruthlessly.
The Hurricane Wolf King dodged with difficulty and fled toward the cave entrance.
There were many clan members in the cave. Fighting here would only implicate them, so luring that fellow out was the best strategy!
High-grade ferocious beasts had basically developed intelligence. Not only could they understand human speech, but they could also think through problems like humans.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao pursued with blade in hand.
He wanted to see whether the Hurricane Wolf King’s speed was faster, or his own!
