As they watched Qin Wushuang’s departing back, Zhou Fu and the others wore a serious expression. Especially Zhou Fu, whose face was full of concern.
However, the disciples under Wei Yi were all impressed. Regardless, under this circumstance, Qin Wushuang had dared to go out alone. This courage was exceptional. Compared to the rest, most of them were at least somewhat worried while facing this situation.
Regardless, Qin Wushuang had convinced everyone for the moment. Under the most difficult circumstance, he set an example as the leader. He did not brush off his responsibility, did not send someone else, but had gone by himself.
Even Zhao Muzhi and his people who had arrived later could not help but feel a deep appreciation when they heard Qin Wushuang had gone ahead by himself. Previously, when Zhao Muzhi had been defeated at Qin Wushuang’s hands, he had developed some grudge and resentment. At this moment, he asked himself, would he have had the courage to go into the Green Jade Mountain and to face such terrifying enemy alone?
The answer would speak for itself. He would never have rushed out in pursuit of justice without a second thought like Qin Wushuang.
With Qin Wushuang’s personality, he should have known the importance of the situation enough to not show off by going alone. Since he knew the importance of the situation and had still dared to do it, it was not because of a hot-tempered act, but a course of action decided after deep .
The more he did it, the more he made people felt impressed.
After Qin Wushuang had left the group, he moved forward while tracing Ba Liming’s path.
The Green Jade Mountain’s terrain was arduous to traverse. After Qin Wushuang had entered, he did not dare to lower his guard. He carefully investigated each little detail. Basically, there was not much of Ba Liming’s Upper Sky presence remaining and was tough to find. However, according to the memory of that Honored Warrior, Qin Wushuang finally found some clues.
The more he moved forward, the more alarmed Qin Wushuang became. He knew that for sure, this would be a tough opponent. Most likely, it might be an elite warrior at the Middle Stage.
After walking for a while, Qin Wushuang still could not find anything substantial. Suddenly he had an idea and remembered that spiritual beast he had acquired from Shakyamuni Cang Ze.
He took out that white sable from the storage sack and communicated a few simple words and let it go. The current Qin Wushuang could communicate a little with the white sable. And this white sable seemed to obey Qin Wushuang. After all, not many humans could grasp the beast language up to this extent.
For sure, a spiritual beast would have much more sensitive senses than elite human warriors. After having received Qin Wushuang’s instructions, that white sable rushed out of Qin Wushuang’s palm and started to investigate.
With one human and one spiritual beast heading in two routes, it made the investigation much easier.
Qin Wushuang did not travel at a fast pace. Each day, he could feel the movements from the Spiritual Qi inside his sea of Spiritual Qi. The sign to break through had become much more apparent.
Qin Wushuang had a prediction that with a little stimulation and a small trigger, it could cause the final breakthrough.
He looked forward the feeling of breaking through.
“If I could break through, then even if this opponent is at the stage of the Old Devil Ji Yin, I could still contend with him. If I don’t kill this brutal enemy, it would be hard to let go of the anger inside my heart.”
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang could feel a wave of infuriation growing inside him. Naturally, the anger had accumulated inside his heart after he saw those tens of thousands of corpses and the devastated Purple Cloud Town. This massacre could not be described as a simple killing. It was too vicious and intolerant.
While he moved, suddenly, a white figure scrambled out from the grassland. It was that white sale. He jumped up to Qin Wushuang’s shoulder and creaked nonstop. It had a terrified expression that was full of fear. The panic in its eyes seemed like it was trying to urge Qin Wushuang to get out of here.
Qin Wushuang sent a wave of spiritual Qi into the white sable to calm it down. He asked: “What’s going on?”
That white sable only screamed: “A vicious beast, a terrifying and strong vicious beast!”
“Vicious beast?” Just when Qin Wushuang had an idea, he already felt a wave of strong Spiritual Qi rolling over without pause. It came at an overwhelming speed.
Qin Wushuang’s heart suddenly stirred. He threw the white sable into his storage knack and retreated backwards quickly. He was not scared, but he wanted to lure this offensive spiritual beast out of this zone. The more closer they got to the outside, the more advantageous the terrain to him.
It was definitely not a smart choice to fight with this spiritual beast this deep in the mountain. Who knew if it had comrades or some powerful figures behind it?
Qin Wushuang glanced backwards and saw a spiritual beast with a body as large as a tiger, but with the appearance as a wild wolf. The speed of this fierce beast was extremely fast. It stomped with the back leg and rushed forward like lightning.
Qin Wushuang discovered that the speed of this vicious beast was even swifter than his. However, after a moment of observation, Qin Wushuang found that indeed, this beast was at the Middle Stage.
Usually, a spiritual beast at the same level of a human would be slightly weaker. However, the War Beast was an exception.
There was a one type of spiritual beast that was born with the battle attribute. They were extremely power at combat.
This Wind Wolf was a type of War Beast and extremely vicious and bloodthirsty. It had chewed on all those shattered corpses from the Purple Cloud Town. And Ba Liming had also died by its’ hand.
Only, there was a contract owner behind this Wind Wolf. Now, this contract owner was in isolation for three days at the deep Green Jade Mountain to digest the fruits of the battle. And this Wind Wolf was in charge of sentry and protection.
The white sable sent by Qin Wushuang had just entered the Wind Wolf’s protection zone. Immediately, it had sensed the powerful presence of the Wind Wolf and had scrambled to escape.
Only, the personality of the Wind Wolf was ferocious. It moved to chase once it sensed the invasion of a spiritual beast. Initially, the Wind Wolf consumed spiritual beasts. This food would not only satisfy his bloodthirst, but would also increase his power and the capacity of his spiritual power.
When it came out chasing, it discovered that someone was also controlling this white sable. Naturally, it exuded evil intentions and planned to consume Qin Wushuang with the white sable.
Qin Wushuang knew that in terms of speed, he was less than this Wind Wolf. However, if they were to compete in endurance, he would not lose.
Most importantly, he had only gotten to this place in less than a day. If he made a rush back down the mountain with his full power, it would be easy to arrive to the border of the Green Jade Mountain.
As long as he arrived at the edge of the Green Jade Mountain, regardless of fighting or retreat, he would have some better advantages. It was not because he feared this Wind Wolf, but he wanted to prevent any accidents that would come from a deeper part of the mountain.
That Wind Wolf only thought that Qin Wushuang feared him when it saw him running away at full speed. It became even more arrogant and chased him. After running for a few hours, suddenly, Qin Wushuang stopped. He flicked his sleeve and took out that snake-shaped soft whip and probed with the beast language: “You evil animal, why are you chasing me?”
The Wind Wolf was stunned as it had not expected that Qin Wushuang knew the language of beasts. Qin Wushuang used the moment he had become stunned and smashed the snake shaped whip toward its back.
That Wind Wolf growled and suddenly, a wave of silver light flashed on its back.
When Qin Wushuang’s snake-shaped whip made contact, he felt the whip stop on the back of that Wind Wolf. With a flash of silver light, this whip had hit the target but the wolf showed no reaction.
That Wind Wolf twitched the corner of its mouth and glanced at Qin Wushuang as if mocking him. Then, as if it was demonstrating a protest, all the hair on its body stood up as it growled again.
“This beast did not fear the attack of the soft-whip? Its outer layer seems strange!” Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was slightly surprised. However, he was not worried, “The attack from the whip is not sharp. Perhaps, the skin of this wolf has the ability to reduce Spiritual Qi.”
Since Qin Wushuang had an abundance of combat experience, he did not panic when this attack did not work. Instead, he pulled out the Violet Sun Sword and sneered: “If you are not scared of the whip, why not the sharpness of this sword, let’s see if you are going to dodge?”
As he finished speaking, he flashed with the Violet Sun Sword. Instantly, dissolving into tens of thousands of swords moves, the sharpness emerged from the sword spiritual pressure moved to slash the back of that Wind Wolf.
That Wind Wolf sneered with disdain. However, this time, he did not dare to act bold. Like a whirlwind, it twisted the body and scrambled a few metres away. Indeed, its speed was extraordinary.
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was shocked. For sure, the power of this Wind Wolf was strong. Qin Wushuang felt that the strength of this Wind Wolf was almost on par with Old Devil Ji Yin.
Although this Wind Wolf did not have the tyrannical power of Old Devil Ji Yin, regarding the movement, speed and defense, it was much more powerful than Old Devil Ji Yin.
Suddenly, that Wind Wolf lowered itself and two of the back legs raised upwards.
With a low growl, it shot out like a tightened bow. Like the flash of a shadow, it scrambled forward like the wind.
Both claws dug the air for a few times and a net shaped cutting wind blade went to slash towards Qin Wushuang.
“An elemental attack!” Qin Wushuang’s heart dropped. He could clearly feel that this net shaped cutting wind blade incorporated the profoundness of the wind attribute.
Although the wind attribute was not part of the basic five attributes, it was an aspect of natural power and extremely powerful. Qin Wushuang did not dare to act sluggish. He initiated the <Immortal Virtuous Cloud Steps> and evaded this attack.
The Wind Wolf kept digging with both of its legs. For a time, sand and wind turned the sky into darkness. This move forced Qin Wushuang to continuously retreat. Only, he did not panic and evaded left to right. At the same time, he was already thinking about how to counterattack.
Although this Wind Wolf was strong, it was after all, a War Beast. Being a Spiritual Beast, it had its upper hand and a fatal flaw.
This fatal flaw was its arrogance and looking down on the enemy! If he could use this fatal flaw, Qin Wushuang was confident that he would get a chance to beat it.
While he battled, he also thought and observed the special battle traits of this Wind Wolf.
As the Head Palace Master and the others have witnessed, Qin Wushuang was a master at controlling the tempo during a battle. His ability to control the tempo stemmed from the basics of the <Immortal Virtuous Cloud Steps>.
He moved with the Immortal Virtuous Cloud Steps in an orderly fashion while he sought an opportunity.
