Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 436 Evenly matched
With a resounding dragon's roar, Wu Xuan thrust out his spear with ferocious force, tearing the space apart into two horizontal lines with ease. The spear tip reached the wall of wind blades in an instant.

With a crisp cracking sound, sparks flew everywhere, and a visible energy wave spread out, directly tearing the wind blade wall apart.

Wu Xuan's figure paused for only a moment before charging towards the Chifeng Qilin once more. The extreme sharpness of the fusion of the Soul-Breaking Spear and the Golden Dragon Spear made its power unstoppable by any energy barrier.

Clearly, this scene was within Chifeng Qilin's expectations. He never thought that this move could stop the human opposite him; he only needed to buy him a few breaths.

In that brief moment, a blue-green gale suddenly arose, sweeping in all directions. At this moment, the hurricane gathering around the Qilin seemed to be burning, converging into an extremely deep vortex.

Innate Soul Skill: Wind Fury Tornado!
A small, blue tornado suddenly appeared in the sky. Soon, the wind grew stronger and in the blink of an eye, it formed a tornado hurricane as tall as a pillar, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The azure-blue tornado swept forward with terrifying force, uprooting trees and sending rocks flying. Its imposing power was unstoppable!
Wu Xuan's forward-rushing figure was caught off guard and was only grazed by the towering tornado. The pain in that instant felt like being cut by a sharp blade.

It should be noted that Wu Xuan was currently using his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the defensive power of the dragon scales on his body and the armor around him was simply incomparable. Even so, he was still forced into a sorry state.

Both being extreme winds, even without Wu Xuan releasing his wind element martial soul, the suction force of this tornado couldn't harm him in the slightest, as his affinity for wind seemed to be instinctive. Therefore, despite their close proximity, the tornado failed to pull Wu Xuan in.

"Wu Xuan! This beast's move is incredibly powerful; we can't fight it head-on." Wang Qiu'er's voice rang out in Wu Xuan's mind, her tone full of gravity.

"Hmm!" Wu Xuan nodded slightly. This powerful soul skill probably wouldn't last long. He just needed to hold off the Chifeng Qilin.

Wu Xuan thought this way and naturally did it. The golden and silver light screen bloomed again around Wu Xuan's body, and the tornado that was advancing like a bulldozer was slowed down and spun in place. Taking advantage of the opening, Wu Xuan dashed a few times and increased the distance between himself and the tornado.

The Qilin seemed to sense Wu Xuan's intention. With a ferocious grin, it lunged forward with all four hooves, slamming into Wu Xuan's lower back.

Caught off guard, Wu Xuan could only parry with his gun, stumbling and flying hundreds of meters away, but ultimately managed to escape the wrathful tornado.

Chifeng Qilin leaped up again and engaged in close combat with Wu Xuan. Because he had to do his best to maintain the golden and silver light barrier to resist the advance of the pillar-like tornado, Wu Xuan was temporarily put at a disadvantage.

As the next one of the flying Wu Xuan saw the blood spurting out of him, the Chifeng Qilin laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, human brat, you've come to the wrong person if you want to stall for time. Once my Wind Fury Tornado is activated, it can absorb the wind elements between heaven and earth, lasting forever and endlessly."

Wu Xuan wiped his mouth and his expression changed instantly, because he could really feel the flow of wind elements between heaven and earth.

"You old beast, stop bluffing!" Wu Xuan shouted coldly, and a light golden shield quietly opened around his body, which was the ninth-level soul tool, Red Dust Protection.

Protected by the soul-guided shield, Wu Xuan's body moved like lightning in the next instant, passing through the turbulent area of ​​the raging tornado and appearing behind Chi Feng Qilin. He thrust out his spear, and a circle of rapidly spinning white light formed on the tip of the sword.

Although Wu Xuan didn't believe it verbally, his actions spoke volumes.

The spear light, now materialized, shot through the air, followed by a series of crisp sounds.

"Pfft!" The scales on the hind legs of the Chifeng Qilin were instantly pierced by the spear light, and bright red blood flowed out.

"Roar~! Die!" The Qilin of the Wind suddenly shook its head, and a wind column half a meter thick shot out from its mouth.

At such close range, Wu Xuan had no time to dodge. The originally pale golden shield instantly shone brightly, forming a perfect protective barrier around Wu Xuan.

"Boom!" As the pillar of wind crashed in, the invincible shield formed by the Red Dust Protection instantly cracked. Although it blocked the attack, this level nine soul tool had reached its limit.

Seeing that the hurricane's breath attack was ineffective, the azure light in the Qilin's eyes suddenly intensified. With a roar, the raging tornado, transformed into a gigantic whirlwind, once again crashed towards Wu Xuan, churning the light barrier with a crackling sound. Simultaneously, countless azure-glowing blades materialized from the Qilin's body. A rough count revealed tens of thousands of them. "Crazy!" Wu Xuan gritted his teeth and cursed, turning to flee again. The wind blades unleashed by the Qilin were practically blotting out the sky; their power was akin to a natural disaster.

As a low-level soul skill, Wind Blade is rarely used by top-tier wind elemental martial souls to occupy their soul ring slots. This is because once a soul master reaches a certain level, they can easily use Wind Blade as an attack method, much like the talent of a wind elemental soul master.

Of course, wind elemental soul masters with average talent will still use wind blades as their main attack soul skill.

Now, the super soul beasts of the wind element release wind blades, just like the Qilin before us, which blot out the sky with a wave of its hand.

No matter how fast Wu Xuan was, he couldn't dodge the overwhelming wind blades.

Wu Xuan activated one level eight or nine defensive soul tools after another, and colorful protective shields bloomed in circles.

Wu Xuan is now extremely fortunate to have inherited the foundation of four level-nine soul masters, which gives him sufficient defensive soul tools.

Level 8 and 9 soul tools are considered the pinnacle of soul tool technology in this era, the limit that ordinary people can access. Yet, such powerful soul tools shattered like fireworks at this moment.

"What the hell is that?" Chifeng Qilin glared angrily, not understanding what these rings of light shields that exploded around Wu Xuan were, that could automatically block the wind blades' attacks without expending any mental energy.

Wu Xuan's escape wasn't a hasty retreat, but a strategic withdrawal, because the release of powerful soul skills is subject to a slight delay. Just like now.

Wu Xuan, who suddenly stopped, had a pale white lightning flash on his left leg.

Sen Lei Yao Shi!
Wu Xuan let out a low roar, raised his spear, and thousands of pale white lightning balls mixed with a hint of blue light appeared around his body. In just an instant, the massive energy fluctuations distorted the sky, which had turned blue-green, into a bluish-white.

Three parts wind, seven parts lightning—this is the Silver Scale Griffin's strongest attack. Each blue-white lightning ball is formed by the fusion of two types of energy, making it a composite attribute attack. Once they collide, they unleash terrifying attack power.

Using the power of his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Wu Xuan unleashed the strongest form of Sen Lei Yao Shi for the first time.

A piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out. From the moment it was fully condensed to the moment it shot out, it was only a short breath. The thousands of lightning balls had already smashed towards the sky full of wind blades like a meteor shower. Their speed could only be described as lightning fast.

The Qilin was not afraid at all. With a roar, a barrage of wind blades and a tornado as big as a pillar of heaven crashed down on Wu Xuan.

"Boom!" In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the sky and earth changed color. Under the impact of this terrifying energy tide, everything around except for the distant Heavenly Ladder Mountain became chaotic and disordered.

At this moment, Chifeng Qilin not only had to control the hurricane-like tornado that resembled a pillar of heaven, but also had to control the wind blades that filled the sky to attack Wu Xuan, and also had to dodge the bluish-white lightning ball and Wu Xuan's occasional sudden thrusts.

Even the most powerful person will experience mental fatigue when trying to do four things at once. Moreover, Chifeng Qilin's mental power is far from reaching a tangible and substantial level.

Chifeng Qilin's expression changed completely after only holding firm for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

His original plan was to use his superior soul power and his two incredibly powerful and destructive innate soul skills, Annihilation Storm and Wind Fury Tornado, to strangle the human in front of him. However, the series of unexpected events made his idea seem like a joke.

First, there was the light screen carrying strange power, then the shot that made him feel dangerous, and finally, the thunder that combined the attributes of wind and lightning.

Why did he come to provoke this human?
