Chapter 170: Where's My Huge Broken Horn?!
Boom!
"Humans are always like this!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared disdainfully, its body glowing with purple-red Dou Qi, rapidly gathering into a terrifying, menacing purple crystal armor. The purple-red Dou Qi gathered in its mouth and condensed into a light cannon, which collided directly with the blue tornado attacking the Dou Huang woman!
Boom!
The violent winds stirred, and countless rocks and trees were tossed around by the enormous energy blast. In an instant, sand and stones were sent flying, and the surrounding wind became a fierce whirlwind. The sky dimmed significantly as the intense battle raged on, dark clouds gathered, and the sound of thunder rumbled in the air!
The battle between the two continued from noon until the sunset, one side wielding extreme wind and stormy power, and the other displaying unmatched physical strength. Until their true trump cards were revealed, it was hard to tell who would come out on top.
Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan quietly watched the entire fight. Throughout, Yao Chen had been silently explaining the various abilities and battle techniques of the two Dou Huang fighters in Xiao Yan's mind, which was a great learning experience for him. But for Jiang Lin, the gains were far greater.
"I didn't expect that a battle between two Dou Huang-level experts would give me so many insights into both wind-type and fire-type Dou Techniques." Under the sunset, as the fierce battle in the sky continued, Jiang Lin was scribbling notes in his small notebook, occasionally glancing up at the sky, trying to find inspiration from the battle.
"See that? Others with such good talent are still working hard to learn," Yao Chen's voice nagged in Xiao Yan's ear, making him feel helpless.
He looked at Jiang Lin, who seemed to be seriously studying, and couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Xiao Yan had taken a few glances at Jiang Lin's notes, only to find them full of fragmented thoughts and strange, incomprehensible drawings.
"Lin Ge, I can't even understand what you're writing," Xiao Yan muttered.
"As long as I can understand it, that's all that matters," Jiang Lin replied nonchalantly, still focusing on the battle that was coming to an end in the sky.
What he recorded were certain key points and some of his personal insights into the wind-type Dou Qi skills. It was normal for Xiao Yan not to understand; if he did, that would be unusual.
"Just from this battle, it's almost like my effort over the past few days has paid off," Jiang Lin said, his eyes bright with excitement as he organized his thoughts, translating them into the simplest and most core ideas in his notebook.
Yao Chen silently watched Jiang Lin, slightly sighing in his heart. The Spirit Clan was good at everything, but they were too intelligent. And intelligent people tended to overthink and walk down the wrong path.
Boom!
Suddenly, a much stronger energy fluctuation erupted in the sky!
Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan instinctively looked up, as the battle between the two Dou Huang fighters entered a new phase. In the midst of the violent storm, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King transformed into a massive purple sun, with its Dou Qi gathering in its purple crystal horn.
"It's getting serious now," Yao Chen's voice sounded.
In the next instant, a purple light beam shot toward the Green Winged Dou Huang. The latter used a powerful Dou Technique to try and intercept it, but the purple beam easily pierced through, cutting through dozens of wind shields and entering the Green Winged Dou Huang's body.
When the latter realized there was no way to avoid it, its expression suddenly changed. At that moment, Jiang Lin seemed to notice that the wind-type Dou Qi in the world momentarily froze!
"Purple Crystal Seal!"
"Wind's Extreme · Falling Kill!"
As the purple light beam penetrated the Green Winged Dou Huang's body, a blue thread that cut through space slashed at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Its beastly instincts made it instinctively tilt its head, and the blue thread didn't hit the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's vital point but instead struck its horn, directly severing a portion of its hardest horn!
This scene caused Jiang Lin's azure-gold eyes to freeze!
Sixth-tier Xuan Qi Weapon—Crack Sky Sword!
Usually, the Weapon Refining Guild wouldn't forge a Sixth-tier Xuan Qi Weapon for outsiders, unless they had a close relationship with the guild.
Jiang Lin might have mistaken other items, but he could never be wrong about the Crack Sky Sword, because he had the scroll for the Fourth-tier Crack Sky Sword!
Although the green sword in the Green Winged Dou Huang's hand was vastly different from the Fourth-tier Crack Sky Sword scroll Jiang Lin had, the basic principles were almost identical.
"But Yuan Pangzi said that Old Hu Lei is very stingy and has never forged a Sixth-tier Xuan Qi Weapon for anyone," Jiang Lin thought.
In the distance, the Green Winged Dou Huang, surrounded by purple threads, suddenly froze in the air. Its wings flashed behind it, and it disappeared in an instant!
Roar!!!
"Find her!!!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, enraged by the damage to its horn, realized that the Green Winged Dou Huang had disappeared, and the magical beasts in the Beast Mountain Range, ranging from Fourth-tier to Fifth-tier, began to riot!
"You guys take the Eagle and head back," Jiang Lin said, watching the severed horn atop the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's head, his expression a bit excited. He said this before diving into the forest, launching a counter-surround from within the expanding search circle of the magical beasts nearby!
"Teacher, he…" Xiao Yan hesitated, his eyes following Jiang Lin's figure as he passed right by a Fourth-tier magical beast, unnoticed by it. He couldn't help but flinch.
"Ah, let's head back. Lin Xiaozi's soul realm is higher than both of those Dou Huang experts, and with his bloodline talent, this Beast Mountain Range is like his backyard. If that Purple Crystal Winged Lion King didn't enjoy sleeping at home, he could've already stolen from that big lion on his own," Yao Chen sighed in Xiao Yan's mind. Others might not notice Jiang Lin's soul realm, but did Yao Chen not notice?
Xiao Yan's soul talent was quite good, but he was still only at the Mid-level of the Mortal Realm, whereas Jiang Lin had already reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm. This soul realm meant Jiang Lin could break through to Dou Zong without relying on pills. Many who relied on pills to break through to Dou Zong hadn't even reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm in their souls.
"Mm, okay," Xiao Yan said after Yao Chen's words reassured him. He turned to the Eagle and said, "Let's go, Eagle. We're retreating."
As they passed a river, Xiao Yan unexpectedly found a woman in plain clothes floating unconscious on the water's surface.
"...?" Xiao Yan paused for a moment but still chose to take the woman back to the cave behind the waterfall before any magical beasts arrived to search for her.
"Roar!!!" On their way home, Xiao Yan seemed to hear another angry roar from deep within the Beast Mountain Range, as if it were saying: "Ah!!! Where's my horn?! Where's my horn?! I had such a big chunk of broken horn?!!"
