Chapter 529: Storm Bird

ntage of the situation among them.In the absence of the Jindan cultivators' deliberate suppression, someone immediately descended to challenge. At this time, a middle-aged man in a black short tunic,...“Fall back!” At the sight of the storm petrel, everyone's first reaction was to retreat.

After He Yousheng drew out his sword, the strength of that Storm Bird wasn't considered strong. The Storm Bird itself wasn't particularly fearsome, but a flock of Storm Birds, even if they weren't seventh-rank, just some low-ranked demonic birds, were still enough to threaten the life of a Jindan cultivator.

Boom! When He Yousheng struck down the windstorm bird with his dagger, the windstorm bird demon suddenly exploded like a gunpowder keg. This is the terrifying nature of the windstorm bird. When facing enemies weaker than them, the windstorm bird will fiercely fight until one side falls completely. Once it encounters an enemy stronger than it, especially when heavily attacked, the windstorm bird will explode its entire body, becoming countless sharp wind blades that cut around.

Although the Storm Bird that He You Sheng had killed was only a sixth-order monster, even if it had exploded, it wouldn't have been able to inflict easy harm on them. However, the wind blades produced by this Storm Bird's self-explosion wreaked havoc all around, and at the same time, dozens of other Storm Birds screeched and flew towards them. As wind-elemental birds of prey, especially when it came to wind blades emitted by their own kind, Storm Birds were extraordinarily sensitive. They dodged the onslaught of wind blades with incredible agility and swooped down on the cultivators.

Even hundreds of low-level demonic beasts might not pose a threat to a Jindan cultivator, as the difference in ranks is substantial. However, hundreds of galebirds could prove deadly to a Jindan cultivator, especially since most of the ones charging towards them were at the fifth and sixth levels, with even two seventh-level galebirds mixed in. Individually, they weren't particularly strong, but unlike other demonic beasts or birds who might flee out of fear of death, these self-exploding birds made no sense. Faced with these galebirds, once their numbers threatened one's life, it was often the cultivators with their own agendas who panicked first.

The crowd dashed through the forest, their movements a flurry of panic. Most of the trees in the forest were ancient, towering spiritwood that wasn't easily damaged. Otherwise, they would have long since been cleaved at the waist by those surging wind blades.

The cultivators fought their way through the onslaught, dodging wind blades that exploded all around them. While for now, the self-detonations of some fifth and sixth level Stormbirds didn't pose a serious threat, the screams behind them grew louder and more frequent, forming a continuous chorus. The number had already reached over a thousand.

Lu Xia Tian also continuously used the Split Earth Blade to kill dozens of level five or six Storm Birds. Every time a Storm Bird was killed, the explosion produced wind blades that swept around, hitting the protective spirit shield Lu Xia Tian had conjured again and again. Although dozens of wind blades of this magnitude didn't hurt him, when a level seven Storm Bird was killed by Chi Yun Sang using the Crimson Black Pagoda, the resulting explosion knocked him and Xing, whose strength was slightly weaker, upside down. Their spirit shields were shattered under the raging wind blades.

Lu Xiaoteng's face couldn't help but flash a trace of fear. The full-force strike of a seventh-order demonic beast was completely different from self-detonation, the power was incomparable. This blow came too fast, it didn't even give him time to set up an array. Compared to the full-force strike of an eighth-order demonic beast, it was not inferior at all. At this time, Lu Xiaoteng hadn't cast Swallowing Soul nor used the array. With his own strength, he was only an ordinary Jindan early stage cultivator, naturally unable to resist. Fortunately, Chi Yun Sang's crimson and black treasure pagoda expanded in size, blocking most of the attack power. Otherwise, under such a sudden attack, Lu Xiaoteng would probably be seriously injured. It's a pity that the fire dragon scale armor was damaged during the Jindan Thunder Tribulation. Otherwise, it would be perfect for dealing with this kind of impact. The sharpness of the wind blade would have been extremely suitable for causing damage. After the spiritual shield was destroyed, Lu Xiaoteng also had many large and small wounds on his body. Fortunately, two of them were blocked by the black and white double bowls he sacrificed in time, otherwise they might have pierced into his dantian, with unimaginable consequences.

In comparison, Xing, whose strength was not much stronger than Lu Xiaottian's, fared even worse. Even Yang Cuicun and the other seemingly delicate-looking Yu Xiao, two Golden Core Stage female cultivators who came to the rescue, were likely unable to save him from this calamity. However, as more and more violent birds kept arriving, even these two Golden Core Stage Tianhaigong cultivators couldn't spare much attention for Xing, who was already severely wounded. Although each of these storm birds wasn't individually powerful, their speed was incredibly fast.

The defensive artifact on Xing's body was also shattered by the continuous onslaught of wind blades.

At the crucial moment, Chiyun Sang still summoned that seemingly sturdy crimson-black pagoda, which in time blocked the overwhelming number of wind blades attacking and saved Xing's life.

"Thank you, Chi Dao, for saving my life." Xing looked at Chi Yun Sang with gratitude. Although they each had their own thoughts, seeing that Chi Yun Sang didn't hold grudges and was willing to expend his magic power to save him dispelled much of Xing's previous reservations.

"Zhao Daoist, there's no need to do this. Let's all go together. In times of crisis, we must support each other." Chiyun Sang said, "This is not the time to be divided. Let's go to the place where the Green Gourd Demon Bees were before! The monsters here all have their own territories. We are few in number, and if a large flock of storm birds rushes into the territory of the Green Gourd Demon Bees, it will inevitably cause the Green Gourd Demon Bees to fight back with all their might. When that happens, we can seize the opportunity to escape!"

After saying that, Chiyun Sang unexpectedly acted out of character. He flew calmly toward the place where the Green Gourd Demon Bees had been before. Everyone present was unwilling to fall behind, even though they knew the dangers of the Green Gourd Demon Bee territory were not low. However, it was still relatively manageable compared to these mentally exhausted and unpredictable Whirlwind Birds. The instant damage caused by the large number of wind blades produced when a Whirlwind Bird exploded was something that even their group of Golden Core cultivators could barely handle. Besides those with exceptional strength, especially Chiyun Sang who wielded the red-black treasure pagoda for both offense and defense, due to his profound magical power, this pagoda's offensive and defensive capabilities were extremely remarkable. When facing the Whirlwind Bird's self-destruction, he still had room to spare. As for others, even those in the middle stage of Golden Core, under the continuous self-destruction of the Whirlwind Birds, they could only barely protect themselves. Helping others became a difficult task.

Although Lu Xiaitian had previously killed a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan, it was not his own strength. Including swallowing souls, he only temporarily borrowed the power of the monster's spirit. When faced with this chaotic situation, his low cultivation level became apparent. However, luckily he still had the black and white double bowls snatched from Liu Jingchuan. After several years of effort, he had completely removed Liu Jingchuan's aura. Although it was not as easy to use as Liu Jingchuan's, the storm bird's attack method was only relatively sudden, and there were not many tricks. At this time, it was like a turtle shell, wrapping his body inside, which made him much safer. Lu Xiaitian breathed a sigh of relief slightly while staying in the black and white double bowls.
