Chapter 61: An Unexpected Encounter with Ziyan

  In a small valley, the scenery is beautiful, the brook babbles, and lovely little white creatures roll around on the ground playing, from time to time finding a few little monsters to stir up some trouble.

  Xie Ao Yu stood on a stone, his eyes narrowed, looking at a branch inserted into the ground about thirty meters in front of him. He grasped a small stone in his hand, quietly circulating his Qi, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw it out.

  "Whoosh!"

  That small stone was swept away by a strong gust of wind.

  A small stone flew through the air in an arc, accurately and flawlessly shattering that branch. The small stone then rotated in mid-air before flying back into Xie Ao Yu's hand. He shook his hand again to throw it out once more, this time targeting the two severed branches that had flown off to either side.

  "Bang!"

  It's easy to hit the first pebble.

  But the small stone then rotated again and lightly hit the second section.

  It still spun back up at an angle and flew back into Xie Ao Yu's hand.

  This is the subtlety of the unpredictable flying spinning knife.

  Able to continuously attack in mid-air before returning to the user's hand once more.

  "Xiao Bai!" Xie Ao Yu shouted, at the same time shooting out from his original position. He wanted to train his accuracy while moving, which made it even more difficult.

  The little white who was originally sleeping suddenly sat up, grabbed a handful of small stones and threw them into the air.

  Five or six small stones shot into the air.

  Xie Ao Yu swiftly ran forward, jumped up and shook his hand to throw out a small stone.

  "Whoosh!"

  That small stone flew at an incredible speed, this time in a straight line, "slapping" into one small stone, then using the force of the impact to spin around, drawing an arc, "slapping" into a second small stone, and again spinning with borrowed force.

  So all the stones thrown by Xiaobai were knocked down.

  After cultivating for thirty or forty days, Xie Ao Yu had already figured out some of the gates, but he was always using small stones and hadn't used any weapons.

  The main reason is still that he doesn't have flying knives.

  Small stones became his main practice tool, and the effect was still quite good, especially with grip strength. It's worth noting that grip strength is the most difficult to master, not accuracy.

  Because it has to continuously rotate in the air and hit other targets before returning.

  It requires a perfect combination of eyesight, strength and technique, first count the target while rushing quickly, then use eyesight to judge how to attack the target, and perform continuous spinning attacks at the same time.

  The force required to be grasped very steadily, if not steady, I'm afraid hitting the first target, then the rotating force can't attack the second target, let alone form a whirlpool.

  The technique is the characteristic of the far-range combat skill "Flying Spin Blade".

  "Stones can knock down six targets, which means controlling six rotations. Flying knives should be able to control three or four rotations. I don't have flying knives in my hand, and the power of this stone is lacking due to the lack of internal energy. Why not use the Leiling Sacred Knife instead? Who would think that the Leiling Sacred Knife would be thrown out during battle?" Xie Ao Yu muttered to himself.

  He drew out the Lei Ling Sacred Knife and flung it with a flick of his wrist.

  "Whoosh!"

  The Lei Ling Sacred Knife flashed a cold light as it sliced through the air, shattering a protruding boulder on a small hill over ten meters away before returning to Xie Ao Yu's hand.

  This is the long-range attack method of the Indestructible Whirlwind Blade.

  "Oh no!"

  Xiaobai's urgent cry rang out.

  It came running swiftly from afar like a white shadow.

  "Roar!"

  A lone Ice Wind Wolf howled as it chased and killed from behind, amidst the howling, countless icy wind blades and ice arrows swooped in, densely packed like a net.

  Xie Ao Yu burst out laughing and said: "There's more delicious food again."

  Recently, Xie Ao Yu has been focusing on his cultivation and left the task of finding food and barbecuing to Xiao Bai. To his surprise, Xiao Bai's barbecue skills are quite similar to his own, although not as skilled, they are still very delicious.

  More importantly, they found that the most delicious was not the fire turkey or the fire rabbit, but this ice wind unicorn wolf, whose meat flavor made them unforgettable.

  So every time Xiaobai would lure one or two Ice Wind Unicorns over.

  Xie Ao Yu took a step forward, thrusting the Lei Ling Sacred Knife out. The air stirred, and a surge of Dou Qi burst forth, forming a whirlwind that shattered those ice arrows and wind blades. Then, he kicked off the ground, his foot flying towards the Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf.

  "Roar!"

  Just then, an even more ear-piercing roar exploded, like a thunderclap shattering the air.

  A giant wolf, over four meters long and more than two meters high, with a pure white body, appeared not far away. The single horn on its head was more than half a meter long, opening its bloody basin-like mouth, letting out a furious howl.

  "The Lone Wolf King of Ice Wind!" Xie Ao Yu became cautious.

  Ordinary Ice Wind Unicorns are high-ranking middle-class, while the Ice Wind Unicorn King is between low-ranking spiritual and mid-ranking spiritual, with formidable strength.

  However, Xie Ao Yu still kicked towards the Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf with one foot.

  "Roar!"

  The Ice Wind Lone Wolf King opened its mouth and shot out an ice arrow, but this ice arrow was clearly a compound magic of ice wind. Its speed was as fast as lightning, striking Xiao Ao Yu's chest directly.

  "Boom!"

  Xie Ao Yu's foot still kicked the Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf's head, kicking it flying sideways, just in time to meet the ice arrow. Along with a sound of a weapon entering the body, the ice arrow directly pierced through the Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf's neck.

  "Bang!"

  The body of Bingfeng Dujianglang fell to the ground.

  Looking back, the Ice Wind Lone Wolf King raised its head and let out a furious howl.

  "Indestructible Whirlwind Blade!"

  Xie Ao Yu let out a soft shout, and the Lei Ling Sacred Knife sliced through the air and chopped down.

  A simple slash downwards, yet three knife lights suddenly appeared out of thin air, forming a left-middle-right formation, spinning around like flying arrows, shooting towards the Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf King.

  This is the close combat version of the Flying Swallow Sword.

  It can be said to be mysterious and unpredictable.

  According to the scroll records, when cultivated to the strongest state, one can slash out seven knife lights from seven directions, flying and spinning to attack the target, leaving the target with no room for evasion.

  That Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf King also had considerable wisdom, seeing this situation, he opened his mouth and spat out three ice arrows, while jumping into the air, lowering his head, using that horn with a length of half a meter to fiercely butt downwards.

  "Bang bang bang"

  In the midst of three muffled sounds, the gleam of the knife collided with the ice arrow.

  The ice arrows all burst, and the knife light continued to advance without diminishing in intensity.

  "Pffft"

  The Ice Wind Unicorn Wolf King, who had just jumped up, was hit by the aftermath of three knife lights and his body flew out. Xie Ao Yu saw this and shook his hand, sending the Lei Ling Sacred Knife flying out in a slanting stab.

  The holy sword flashed under the neck of the Ice Wind Lone Wolf King and immediately returned to Xie Ao Yu's hand with a streak of blood light.

  The corpse of the lone wolf king fell to the ground, its head rolling off.

  "Xiao Bai, let's get started." Xie Ao Yu laughed loudly.

  One person and one beast then disposed of two Ice Wind Unihorns.

  After finishing eating, Xie Ao Yu muttered: "Xiao Bai, how can you eat so much? You ate one and a half by yourself, I'm already stuffed to death with just half."

  "Oh no!"

  Xiao Bai rubbed his belly, looking like he had barely eaten enough.

  Xie Ao Yu couldn't get anything out of him, so he set off again with Xiao Bai. He wanted to continue his training in the mountain range, and as they left the small valley, a vast expanse of mountains and forests came into view.

  Due to the uniqueness of the Transverse Mountain Range, monsters appear too frequently, and the further in you go, the higher the level of the monsters. Xie Ao Yu did not plan to continue going deeper, as the small valley he was in already had Spirit-level upper-tier monsters appearing frequently, which was already his limit.

  He chose to head west across the transverse mountain range, and after several hours of walking, he climbed up a high mountain. Xie Ao Yu planned to take a rest, but saw about 100 meters away at the top of the mountain, there was a slender figure, bent down picking a strange flower that still emitted fragrance even from 100 meters away.

  "Ziyan Jie!" Xie Ao Yu exclaimed in surprise and delight as he saw the figure.

  That was Zi Yan, she saw Xie Ao Yu and smiled, "Little guy, thinking of me?"

  The beauty still has a charming and alluring flavor as she did in the past.

  "How could I not think of her? I miss Sister Ziyan so much, and I even dream about her every day." Xie Ao Yu said with a smile, being with Ziyan made him feel an indescribable ease, as if he didn't need to worry about anything.

  "Could it be that you dreamed of your sister not wearing clothes?"

  It was a face full of flirtatiousness, now deliberately revealing a hint of seductive charm, and saying words that made people's hearts flutter, Xie Ao Yu suddenly felt a surge of evil fire rising in his body.

  "Ah, today's weather is really great, sunny and beautiful." Xie Ao Yu quickly changed the subject, he didn't want to lose face in front of Zi Yan.

  "Right, the weather is great, it's just that there's no sun, I don't know how to make it sunny and bright, hehe..."
