Testing My Sword's Edge with the Body of a Nascent Soul Realm Wind Beast

"A wind beast at the Nascent Soul Realm has been born in the Gale Wind Plains? But how is that possible?!"

The Armored Man stared in disbelief at the enormous monster that stood over a hundred feet tall before him.

The immense power emanating from this giant wind beast far surpasses the level of the Golden Core Realm.

Before them, they are as insignificant as ants.

It was obvious that this enormous wind beast was not in the same league as the three wind beasts beneath it.

In addition, the three-headed wind beasts showed a subservient attitude towards him.

Everything points to one thing.

That is, this terrifying wind beast, which is over a hundred feet tall, is an existence on another level.

The Nascent Soul Realm Wind Beast!

Upon realizing this, an overwhelming sense of despair welled up in everyone's hearts.

The difference between the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm is simply too great.

In addition, this place is the home ground of the Wind Beasts, the Gale Wind Plains.

They had no hope of leaving alive.

"How could a wind beast at the Nascent Soul Realm be born in the Gale Wind Plains?"

Old Man Qiao also looked desperate.

There has never been any record of a wind beast at the Nascent Soul Realm level appearing in the Gale Wind Plains.

Otherwise, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to enter this place.

"No wonder the Golden Core Level wind beasts, which usually only appear deep in the plains, have unexpectedly appeared in this border area."

Furthermore, defying common sense, these beings, being of low intelligence, actually joined forces.

It turns out that this Gale Wind Plains nurtured their true king, a wind beast at the Nascent Soul Realm!

Old Man Qiao grew increasingly desperate and filled with regret.

Even before entering the Gale Wind Plains, he had a vague sense of unease.

He should have left then.

Although taking a detour will take more than ten days, it's still better than losing our lives in this situation.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.

A wind beast at the Nascent Soul Realm level, and it was in the Gale Wind Plains, plus three wind beasts at the Golden Core Realm.

They had no way out; any resistance would be futile in the face of such a being.

Old Man Qiao held his two grandsons, his face pale.

He's lived for so many years, even if he dies, it's not a big deal.

The only regret is that a pair of children, because of his misjudgment, will perish with him in this endless sandstorm.

"It's actually a wind beast at the Nascent Soul Realm. No wonder it has always given me such a strong sense of crisis."

Standing behind the crowd, Lu Qing looked at the enormous wind beast, as large as a mountain, and suddenly realized something.

At this moment, several notes of information were appearing in his field of vision.

[Nascent Soul Realm Wind Beast: A powerful creature born from the Netherworld Netherwind Cave deep within the Gale Wind Plains.]

[Cultivation Level: Initial Nascent Soul Realm]

The power of the Wind Beast originates from the Wind Pearl, formed from the condensed wind laws within its body; its Wind Pearl, formed from wind and sand, is merely its outward appearance.

Only by destroying the Wind Pearl can the Wind Beast be truly defeated.

This wind beast has only recently come into being and is not yet fully intelligent, resembling a child.

The Wind Beast was born from the Gale Wind Plains, but it is also bound to these plains and cannot leave.

Seeing the message appear on the giant wind beast, Lu Qing felt much more relaxed.

Immediately, a hint of fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

"Is it just a wind beast that has just entered the Primordial Spirit?"

That's perfect, I've always wanted to know.

How big is the gap between my current strength and that of the Nascent Soul Realm?

"I'll use you as a test today."

Since reaching the Golden Core Fifth Revolution realm, Lu Qing's strength has increased dramatically.

The Golden Core Nine Revolutions, each cycle leading to a new realm.

Each breakthrough in the Golden Core Realm brings an astonishing transformation in strength.

Lu Qing's Perfect Golden Core is even more so.

With each transformation, his power undergoes a near-qualitative metamorphosis.

If Gongshu Yu were to be reborn and reappear before him now, he would be a perfect match.

Even if he were wearing Treasure Armor, he would probably still be unable to withstand the power of one of his punches.

Because of his sudden surge in strength, Lu Qing wanted to know how much of a gap he now had compared to the Nascent Soul Realm expert.

But he couldn't actually fight a Nascent Soul Great Power; that would be too risky.

After all, the might of a great being is inviolable.

Every powerful being who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm is an extremely proud person.

How could he tolerate a mere Golden Core Realm violating his dignity?

But right now, there is an excellent opportunity.

Seemingly sensing the fighting spirit emanating from Lu Qing, the Nascent Soul Realm Wind Beast in front of him blinked and slowly lowered its head.

This single action made the already fierce winds around them even more violent.

"Are they finally going to make their move?"

As soon as the giant wind beast moved, everyone's body trembled.

Many people have closed their eyes in despair, awaiting the arrival of death.

No one even struggled.

Those who dare to go out and trade under the current circumstances are already prepared for death.

Moreover, everyone knows that no amount of struggle is useful when facing an existence at the Nascent Soul Realm.

It's better to face death honestly; perhaps that way you'll suffer less.

Even Golden Core Realm experts like the Armored Man and Old Man Qiao were no exception.

Their strength is far inferior to that of Nascent Soul Realm Wind Beast.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, any struggle is futile.

It's better to stay put and accept your fate.

With this mindset, when Old Man Qiao and the others saw the giant wind beast raise its claws and bring them down with the force of a collapsing pillar of heaven, they actually felt a sense of relief.

The giant wind beast's claws, radiating an indescribable power, crushed down.

Under this terrifying power, the light of the Wind-Fixing Lamp was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse.

However, just as everyone was waiting for death to come.

A sword light flew out from behind them.

The sword light was dazzling, like a shooting star from outer space, and it also revealed an unparalleled Sword Intent that seemed to create the world.

Then, everyone watched in disbelief as the incredibly powerful wind beast claw, like the claw of death, loomed over their heads.

It was split in two by the sword light, and then exploded with a bang.

Its powerful energy erupted, flowing upwards against the current, and even blasted half of the giant wind beast's body apart.

Countless yellow sands, like a torrential downpour, fell from overhead, only to be blocked by the light condensed by the wind-fixing Wind-Fixing Lamp, and fell to the sides.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, their minds blank.

For a moment, no one knew what had happened.

"Grandpa Qiao, you're not going to give up like this, are you? This doesn't seem like your usual shrewd personality."

Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, the sword light that had shattered the giant wind beast's arm twisted in mid-air, revealing the flying sword within, before flying backward.

Then a figure slowly walked out from behind them, holding a flying sword, and stood at the very front.

"Young friend, is that you?"

Old Man Qiao stammered as he saw the figure.

The others stared at Lu Qing in disbelief.

No one could have imagined that the incredibly powerful sword light just now was actually unleashed by this person.

"Yes, it's me," Lu Qing said calmly.

"Young friend, no, senior! So you are actually Nascent Soul Realm expert?"

The Armored Man then seemed to awaken from a dream, and exclaimed with immense joy.

"Nascent Soul Great Power..."

Lu Qing chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying, and did not give a direct answer.

However, the Armored Man and his companions already believed that this was the truth.

Because apart from experts of the same level, who else could sever the arm of that giant wind beast with a single sword strike?

You must understand, this is the Gale Wind Plains, the home ground of the Wind Beasts.

As long as they stand here, they can receive a mysterious blessing and unleash power beyond their own.

Therefore, Lu Qing must also be a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Realm level to possess such Divine Ability.

"Senior, please save us! Afterwards, whatever you ask of us, we will do our utmost!"

Realizing this, the Armored Man immediately knelt on one knee and pleaded with Lu Qing.

As for why a powerful figure like Lu Qing would be lurking in their ranks, the Armored Man had no time to ponder it.

All he knew was that Lu Qing was now their only lifeline.

Their lives were in his hands.

The others had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Qing.

"Please, Immortal Master, save my life!"

"I can only hold it off for a quarter of an hour at most."

Despite the crowd kneeling and pleading, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged.

He looked at the enormous wind beast in front of him, whose body was slowly recovering, and said calmly.

"In this last quarter of an hour, you must run for your lives. We are not far from the valley. If you can escape into the valley, you may still have a chance to survive."

"Even the seniors could only hold it off for a quarter of an hour?"

The Armored Man shuddered, but then he realized that this was the Gale Wind Plains.

The wind beasts here not only receive the blessing of the Gale Wind Plains, but also become immortal.

Even those who are also Nascent Soul Great Power would find it extremely troublesome to face such an enemy.

Without hesitation, he shouted, "You all heard what the senior said, we only have a quarter of an hour!"

Now, everyone gather together, throw away any unnecessary items, and travel light.

We left immediately and headed towards the valley!

No one dared to question the Armored Man's words.

Upon hearing this, they all threw away their excess items, including some valuable goods.

After all, not everyone has such a precious magical item as Storage Bag.

But at this moment, no one felt heartache.

After their brush with death, everyone truly understood that being alive is the best thing.

Apart from that, everything else is merely external possessions.

Driven by the threat of death, everyone moved at an extremely fast pace.

They quickly gathered in one place.

The guards of the Cheng Yun Merchant Guild stood around, forming a protective array to shield everyone inside.

"Senior, we'll be taking our leave now. Take care, Senior!"

Seeing this, the Armored Man did not question it, and bowed to Lu Qing.

They then removed the Wind-Fixing Lamp that had been hanging at the front of the convoy.

Magic Art was activated, the light suddenly contracted, enveloping the group of people standing together.

The next moment, he kicked the Scaled Armor Treasure Horse under his feet, dragging everyone in the formation forward like a giant carriage.

Its speed was much faster than before.

Fortunately, the formation formed by the guards of the Cheng Yun Merchant Guild kept the area stable.

Otherwise, but this time, everyone would probably be thrown around in a daze.

"Senior, we'll be leaving now!"

At the same time, Old Man Qiao and several other Golden Core Realm, including the middle-aged man, also used their movement techniques to follow behind the formation and leave.

Although they were all extremely curious about Lu Qing's background.

But I also know that now is not the time to talk about that.

Their presence here is of no use except as a burden to Lu Qing.

"Roar!"

The enormous wind beast that was regenerating its arm.

Seeing those ants dare to escape right under his nose, he was immediately enraged and let out a roar.

Without a second thought, it used its other intact paw to grab forward.

Following its deepest instincts, it began to manipulate the surrounding wind and sand.

As powerful monsters born from the Gale Wind Plains, the Wind Beasts are the darlings of this plain.

Endless sandstorms are their playthings, which they can manipulate at will.

Especially this Nascent Soul Realm Wind Beast, which is even more powerful.

It can easily unleash a massive storm whenever it wants.

Therefore, with a grab from the giant wind beast, the Armored Man and others who had already run quite far away were caught off guard.

Suddenly, they discovered that several towering, earth-shattering sandstorms, carrying countless gales, were crashing down on them.

"How could this be..."

Looking at the swirling sandstorm before him, the Armored Man felt a deep bitterness in his heart.

Given the power revealed by the sandstorm, if they were caught in it, they would surely die.

Could it be that fate is truly against them?

"Town!"

Just as the Armored Man and his men were about to despair again, a cold shout rang out from the heavens and earth.

Then they saw a layer of yellow light coming from behind them, spreading rapidly and extending forward towards them.

Wherever the yellow light reached, everything was frozen in place.

Even those towering, earth-shattering whirlwinds were no exception.

Completely suppressed by the boundless suppressive power contained within the yellow light, it then dissipated, turning into a sky full of dust that fell down.

"With your pathetic Divine Ability abilities, you dare to show off in front of me?"

"You beast, today I'll use your stupid body to test the sharpness of my flying sword!"

Lu Qing's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, echoing across the Gale Wind Plains.

Shocked, the Armored Man and his men couldn't help but look back even as they fled for their lives.

Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Lu Qing was suspended in mid-air, with an incredibly dazzling earthy yellow light surging around him.

A large, ancient-looking cauldron phantom slowly rotated behind him.

It set him off like a deity from ancient legends.

Even the enormous wind beast seemed to be a head shorter than him.

Within a radius of dozens of miles centered on Lu Qing, the space was illuminated by yellow light.

Everything became eerily quiet.

There was no strong wind, and no sand or stones were flying around.

It was as if it had become a space that had been separated from the Gale Wind Plains.

"Is this what you meant by 'only able to hold off the wind beast for a quarter of an hour'?"

The Armored Man and his companions stared in disbelief at the unimaginable scene behind them.
