Overlord of the Wilderness

Chapter 558: Chapter 531: Entering the Sunset Secret Realm

Sensing something was amiss with Jade Fox, Ba Xiongfei asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Jade Fox just shook her head slightly, not saying a word. ‘Getting hit on the butt by a tornado… an incident like that is utterly humiliating to talk about. I wouldn’t tell anyone even if I died.’

Seeing that Jade Fox didn’t want to talk, Ba Xiongfei didn’t press her. His gaze fixed on the dense swarm of tornadoes as he roared, “Suppression of the Void! Now, scatter!”

BOOM!

Ba Xiongfei threw a punch into the void. The might of this fist was supreme; a terrifying Fist Gang spread through the air, and wherever it went, the tornadoes were shattered one by one. The entire expanse of the sky seemed to be suppressed, with not even a wisp of wind remaining. Even the Black Death Sea below turned as still as stagnant water under the might of Ba Xiongfei’s immense Fist Gang.

Having completely crushed the tornadoes, the four young titans each used their Body Techniques to fly onward at high speed. But they had only flown a few miles when another dense swarm of tornadoes appeared before them. These tornadoes seemed to hold a grudge against the four, scooping up seawater and, whenever there was an opening, worming their way toward them.

THWAP! THWAP! THWAP!

In a moment of carelessness, Jade Fox’s rear was struck by three more tornadoes. These three were only palm-sized and couldn’t hurt her even when they hit. But a firestorm of rage ignited in her heart. ‘I’m certain now! Zhaang Ye is deliberately controlling these tornadoes. In other words, he’s using them to harass me!’

Jade Fox glared furiously at Zhaang Ye. Zhaang Ye happened to be looking over at that exact moment. Seeing her gaze, he gave her a cheeky grin, a grin that made her fury blaze even higher.

“Hmph! Suppression of the Void!”

Ba Xiongfei unleashed his technique once more. Relying on his vast Innate True Qi, he manipulated the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in a radius of several miles, instantly crushing the tornadoes one by one.

Like a light breeze, Zhaang Ye flew out of the range of Ba Xiongfei’s Fist Gang and laughed. “What a powerful Fist Gang! But, Brother Ba, using such a mighty Fist Technique must consume a great deal of Innate True Qi, right? I’d like to see just how many of those punches you can throw.”

As he spoke, the dense swarm of tornadoes returned!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Toyed with like this by Zhaang Ye, Ba Xiongfei’s anger blazed, and he clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. Beibing Feng, Shui Cangmang, and Jade Fox were also so furious they were seeing stars.

Zhaang Ye’s Body Technique was incredibly fast. Despite their world-shaking power, they simply couldn’t catch him. Zhaang Ye used this advantage to taunt them again and again. No matter how composed the four young titans usually were, they couldn’t stop themselves from wanting to curse out loud.

Ba Xiongfei suppressed his rage and yelled, “Zhaang Ye, what’s the use of these petty tricks! If you have any guts, stand still and fight me fair and square!”

Zhaang Ye laughed. “Brother Ba, if you have what it takes to catch me, I’ll fight you.”

Ba Xiongfei grunted and swung his fist fiercely. Zhaang Ye had always been fast, but after his Wind Realm reached the Minor Achievement stage, his flight speed became even faster. Although Ba Xiongfei’s combat power was immense, speed was his weakness. He had no way of catching Zhaang Ye.

Just then, Jade Fox’s eyes glinted as she had an idea. “Let’s spread out! Zhaang Ye may have a lot of tornadoes, but if we separate, he won’t be able to handle us!”

The eyes of the young experts lit up. They immediately scattered, putting hundreds of yards between each of them. With such a great distance, even Zhaang Ye’s powerful tornadoes couldn’t affect them.

Seeing the four young titans spread out, Zhaang Ye knew he had lost his chance to mess with them. With the four experts separated, they now formed a mutually supportive perimeter. No matter which one he tried to intercept, he would face a counterattack from the other three. Under these circumstances, attacking again would be asking for trouble.

Zhaang Ye decisively stopped and laughed. “As expected of Jade Fox, so cunning! Since you don’t want to play anymore, I’ll be on my way. See you in the Sunset Secret Realm!”

WHOOSH!

Zhaang Ye pushed his speed to the absolute limit, flying straight toward the Sunset Secret Realm.

With his Wind Realm at the Minor Achievement stage, Zhaang Ye’s speed had greatly increased—it was now thirty percent faster than usual. In the span of just a few dozen breaths, he surpassed Taishu Gang to claim fifth place.

At this time, Shui Daimai was still in first place, with Qi Qingle in second. Tied for third were Pingcang Mountain and Yue Changsheng. These four young titans were flying at incredible speeds. Whenever they encountered a Sea Beast, they would strike it with a single palm. The Innate True Qi within their bodies was so immensely powerful that a single palm strike would instantly shatter a Sea Beast into pieces, not affecting their flight in the slightest.

Zhaang Ye also continuously encountered Sea Beasts. Relying on his speed, he dodged them skillfully. No matter how powerful the Sea Beast that lunged out was, Zhaang Ye was always able to evade it.

The young experts behind them, however, didn’t have such strength. The Suppression emanating from the Ancient Strong Persons, the Sword Monarch and the Fist Dominator, had slowed their flight speed to less than one percent of its normal rate. The constantly leaping Sea Beasts left them terrified and struggling to cope. In just a single hour, more than twenty young experts were swallowed alive by the lunging beasts.

Another dozen or so young experts were forced into the sea by the beasts. The seawater, saturated with the Suppression of the Ancient Strong Persons, immediately invaded their bodies through their pores. These dozen experts died under the ancient Suppression before they could even scream.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Relying on his speed, Zhaang Ye flew like the wind, covering hundreds of miles in a short time. Pingcang Mountain and Yue Changsheng, who were in third place, saw Zhaang Ye getting faster and closer, and they too increased their speed.

Seeing Zhaang Ye flying faster and faster, about to catch up, Yue Changsheng frowned slightly. ‘In my eyes, Zhaang Ye is just an obscure junior. If I let a junior like him pass me, I’ll lose face.’

After a moment’s thought, Yue Changsheng muttered to himself, “This kid’s Body Technique might be impressive, but his combat power is definitely no match for mine. I have no reason to be afraid of him. Since he’s so keen on showing off, I’ll just have to intercept him.”

Even though Zhaang Ye had displayed astonishing speed, Yue Changsheng still didn’t take him seriously. With a slight movement of his hand, a pale yellow Talisman suddenly appeared in his palm.

“Go!”

Zhaang Ye was flying at full speed when he suddenly heard a loud shout. A brilliant golden light shot out from Yue Changsheng’s hand, flying directly in front of him!

‘An offensive True Talisman!’ Zhaang Ye felt the fluctuations from the golden light and his heart skipped a beat.

As a Rune Master’s Cultivation advances, they can draw all sorts of Runes. Once they reach the True Dao, the Runes they draw contain terrifying Innate True Qi; these are known as True Talismans. Seeing Zhaang Ye closing in, Yue Changsheng had actually thrown an offensive True Talisman to block his path.

BOOM!

The True Talisman suddenly exploded in mid-air, and an immense power swept through the area. Although Zhaang Ye was prepared, he was still grazed by the force, and his body went slightly numb.

Zhaang Ye was secretly furious at being blasted by a True Talisman for no reason. He waved his palm through the air, and a series of tornadoes instantly appeared in front of Yue Changsheng, completely blocking his path.

Yue Changsheng gave a contemptuous smile. “Zhaang Ye, these tornadoes of yours look impressive, but in reality, they’re pathetically weak. Break!”

With a flick of his wrist, Yue Changsheng sent another True Talisman flying, and it exploded before him. The True Talisman contained a profound Innate True Qi. This wisp of profound Innate True Qi instantly drew upon the endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and then detonated like a thunderclap. The immense power swept clean in all directions, and the tornadoes Zhaang Ye had summoned were wiped out in an instant.

‘Rune Masters are truly peculiar, and truly powerful!’ Zhaang Ye couldn’t help but be secretly impressed. His tornadoes were like weeds in spring; for every one he dispersed, three more would appear. But a single explosion from Yue Changsheng’s True Talisman scattered all the tornadoes and prevented any follow-up techniques.

The way of the True Talisman was truly unique.

Zhaang Ye smiled lightly and said, “A very powerful True Talisman! Brother Yue, watch this!”

With a wave of his hand, tornadoes once again filled the air. They appeared in front, behind, to the left, and to the right, a dense swarm that blotted out the sky.

Yue Changsheng’s expression changed at the sight of so many tornadoes. ‘There are just too many of these spontaneously appearing tornadoes. I’ll need at least four True Talismans to get rid of them. I painstakingly drew every single one of those… throwing them away like this is such a waste. Such a terrible waste!’

As regretful as he felt, Yue Changsheng knew he had to use them. The tornadoes contained a pulling force that was drastically slowing his flight speed. If he didn’t act to clear them away, Zhaang Ye was going to overtake him!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yue Changsheng threw four True Talismans, blasting away the tornadoes in front, behind, and to his sides. Using four True Talismans at once made his heart ache with the loss.

Zhaang Ye laughed. “Nice moves! Let’s go again!”

Following Zhaang Ye’s voice, a dense swarm of tornadoes once again appeared all around Yue Changsheng.

Yue Changsheng snorted angrily and threw out another four True Talismans, blasting the tornadoes apart.

“Nice moves, let’s go again!”

Zhaang Ye’s infuriating voice rang out again, and the damn tornadoes appeared once more, densely packing the space around them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As Zhaang Ye and Yue Changsheng flew, they continued their covert battle. Watching them, Pingcang Mountain’s scalp tingled. ‘I never thought Zhaang Ye’s ability to control the wind would be this formidable!’ he thought to himself. ‘It’s a good thing I didn’t provoke him, or the consequences would have been endless!’

After Yue Changsheng had thrown more than a hundred True Talismans, the Sunset Secret Realm was finally in sight. At this point, Zhaang Ye had no intention of tangling with him further. He laughed and said, “Brother Yue, I’ll be on my way!”

WHOOSH!

Ignoring the dark look on Yue Changsheng’s face, Zhaang Ye’s speed somehow increased once more as he flew straight into the Sunset Secret Realm!
