Slaying Another Foundation Establishment Barbarian
The world was covered in a blanket of white snow, the forests were covered in snow, and in the low temperature, exquisite frost flowers grew among the dense branches.
Dressed in a white robe, Yang Tianyou seemed to blend into the world, quietly observing the rocky castle before him.
This is a castle built entirely of bluestone. Protected by Totem Pillar, when snow falls, it quickly turns into rain, nourishing the land below.
The Cold Tide was triggered by Profound Ice Qi, which is actually a special kind of ice-attribute Spiritual Qi. The wind and snow it transforms into naturally carry a rich Spiritual Qi as well.
Therefore, whenever Cold Tide passes, the Cold Tide areas will regain their vitality in a very short time.
Countless wild Spirit Fields appeared, and a large number of wild grasses were nourished into spirit medicine by the Spiritual Qi rich wind and snow. Many Wild Beasts that were lucky enough to survive were also able to awaken their bloodlines and achieve the body of Demon Beast after receiving enough Spiritual Qi nourishment.
However, only surviving creatures can enjoy all of this; those humans and animals who freeze to death or perish in the Cold Tide Storms are naturally excluded.
After observing for a moment, Yang Tianyou waved his hand lightly, and more than a dozen figures leaped out from the dense forest behind him, rushing nimbly towards the castle not far away.
After half an hour of preparation, with a Desolation wolf howl, the totem shield of the Bluestone Castle shattered into a shower of light.
"Kill!"
Yang Tianyou took the lead, splitting his Twin Blades in two. The Starlight transformed into a silver Moon Disc, cleaving the Barbarian Tribe warriors blocking his path in two. He then charged straight towards the center of the castle, wielding his Twin Blades.
"Enemy attack!"
The Lu Wu Realm's common language, heavily accented with the Barbarian Tribe language, reached their ears. Immediately afterward, a lean Barbarian Tribe, resembling a cheetah, strode through the air.
This is a speed-type Foundation Establishment Barbarian Tribe. His strength may not be much greater than Yang Tianyou's, but his speed is far superior.
Unfortunately, Yang Tianyou is not particularly skilled in speed, and his energy is also limited. It is impossible for him to achieve extremely high levels of proficiency in several areas such as offense, defense, Talisman Crafting, and swordsmanship, while also cultivating a speed-related Law Technique to Great Perfection. Even with the help of the Jade Register Heavenly Book, it is not realistic.
After all, what limits him is not only his comprehension, but also time. In the end, Yang Tianyou is only twenty-one years old, and his current achievements are already quite remarkable.
Of course, this doesn't mean Yang Tianyou is helpless against this agile fellow.
Brush!
With a flash of claws, the Foundation Establishment Barbarian Tribe's attack, carrying terrifying force, slammed heavily onto the Golden Spirit Armor.
Clang!
This Law Technique formed spirit armor once again proved its exceptionally strong defensive capabilities. Under the frenzied attacks of the Foundation Establishment Barbarian Tribe, it suffered only shallow scratches and no significant damage.
How is that possible?
Balus looked at his right hand in disbelief. This hand, which used to be able to crush Spirit Iron, couldn't even break through the defensive Law Technique of a mere Qi Refining Human Race. What a joke!
A nameless humiliation welled up in his heart, coupled with the shock of the deaths of his clansmen not far away. Balus's eyes became bloodshot, and his muscles suddenly swelled up, with bluish-black veins throbbing slightly through his skin.
A dense Blood Qi emanated from him, forming above his head a strange, ferocious Fierce Beast resembled neither a wolf nor a leopard, with a pair of wings—a manifestation of the power of his Barbarian Tribe bloodline.
Roar!
This Fierce Beast, composed of Blood Qi, could actually emit substantial sound waves. As the sound waves swept over, Yang Tianyou saw double images, and his originally steady steps seemed to become somewhat disordered.
Seizing the opportunity, Balus, leaving a trail of afterimages, pounced forward with lightning speed.
The sharp claws tore through the air, the gleam at their tips seemingly brighter than Starlight; this attack was clearly a desperate effort from Balus.
"Die, Human Race!"
With a ferocious smile on his face, Barus's battle-hardened intuition told Balus that this strike would be enough to pierce through the hateful golden armor in front of him, and then he would grind the Human Race hidden inside into mincemeat inch by inch.
Bang!
Just like an arrow piercing a steel plate, Balus's claws fell, piercing directly through the Golden Spirit Armor. Then, Balus made a gesture to tear it to the right, intending to rip the Golden Spirit Armor apart in one fell swoop.
But just then, a pair of hands enveloped in rich golden light gripped his wrists tightly.
The hand wasn't large; on the contrary, due to years of drawing talismans, it appeared slender and fair. However, the astonishing power emanating from it startled Balus.
He looked up and saw a pair of platinum-gold eyes that seemed to be smiling, but the meaning behind that smile was all too clear, "Finally caught you!"
Against a speed-type enemy, you can't kill them if you can't even touch them, but what if it's like this?
Yang Tianyou quickly showed Balus what Storm was.
Tear!
The Silver Moon Disk, radiating magnificent starlight, sliced across Balus from the right, cleaving through buildings along its path in two with the sharp edge of the Starlight, causing them to collapse.
In addition, Yang Tianyou instantly took out two Blazing Gold Talisman, which were First-Tier Supreme-Grade Talisman with attack power far exceeding the full-force attack of Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining cultivator. Since they were crafted, Yang Tianyou had rarely used them.
Without hesitation, the two Blazing Gold Talisman were activated, and in an instant, two longswords intertwined with gold and red slashed down from the sky.
The surface of the longsword was ablaze with intense flames, and the Geng Metal Qi at the blade was incredibly sharp. Even before it descended, it had already carved the ground into countless holes.
But that wasn't all. Finally, Yang Tianyou, wielding the Twin Blades in one hand, swung them down with tremendous force. With the enhancement of his honed Blade-Controlling Technique, this strike was the most powerful.
From all directions—front, back, left, right, and above—in the blink of an eye, the situation that Balus had initially held a significant advantage was reversed, and he was instantly plunged into a desperate predicament.
"Ah!"
The latter roared in resentment, trying to break free from Yang Tianyou's restraints, and he did succeed. After all, he had the physique of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and although he focused on speed, his strength was still somewhat greater than Yang Tianyou's.
Although Balus quickly broke free of his restraints, he still wasted some time, and in that short time, attacks came crashing down from all sides.
In his haste, Balus could only cross his hands above his head to block the attack, while simultaneously circulating his Blood Qi beyond his capacity, causing his muscles to swell even more.
Boom!
The attack struck, and the intense fluctuations of Spiritual Qi cleared everything within a hundred feet of them, sending debris and dust flying everywhere. The Barbarian Tribe warriors and Yang Household Cultivators who were engaged in battle also hurriedly looked over.
Bang!
A moment later, a figure flew backward, seemingly kicked out hard.
When this person landed, the Barbarian Tribe warriors all looked despair, while the Yang Household Cultivators were filled with excitement. This person was none other than Balus.
Tap! Tap!
Footsteps echoed through the dust. Yang Tianyou, clad in tattered armor, had disheveled hair and exposed skin covered in various wounds, yet his sharp and domineering aura only grew more striking.
Kill them all!
A detached voice came from Yang Tianyou's mouth, and the Yang Household Cultivators responded in unison.
"Wolf Ancestor, after this battle, I will no longer need your Dharma Protector. I can already feel the Blade Intent beckoning me. Only a life-or-death struggle with no way out can truly unleash it!"
"Good!"
