Chapter 298: Dragon of the Gale, Flash of a Bolt!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was merely a quarter of an hour before the earth was covered in silvery-white. About an hour later, the hills and mountains that stretched around one’s sight were painted white as well!

"The girl’s quite smart, using the weather to her advantage…"

The black-clothed elder smiled in praise as he said, "She has actually hidden somewhere and changed them both into white clothing."

The man smiled in curiosity and said, "Just as the snow covers the earth and the environment is changing, she’s able to adapt. The thought of changing into white clothes to use the snow as camouflage in hopes of escaping… it looks like this girl’s determination is impressive indeed. I’m afraid she can still persevere for more than a month!"

The black-robed elder smiled. "This is good news. The longer she can persevere, the bigger the gain for the young lord later!"

The man’s eyes squinted; beaming, he said, "Naturally it’s better the longer she perseveres. If she can hold out for a year… I suppose the Pure Yin of Chaos obtained later can triumph over the world and is superior to the universe."

The old man in black chortled, obviously agreeing heartily with the man’s words.

The man chuckling halted as he lifted his head abruptly to gaze far away and said, frowning, "Why is there such a strong wind suddenly?"

The men around him raised their heads to look as well, trying to figure it out.

The sound of the wind had indeed grown louder, the snow falling harder; as the wind greeted one’s face, it was like tiny knives cutting through skin.

The snow piled on the ground was fluttering into the air, stirred up by the wind.

After a while, the fluttering snow, which was unprecedentedly heavy, obscured the group’s vision.

"This is bad!" The middle-aged man\'s frown was locked into place. "Wearing white clothes is an advantage in such weather. Don’t let the two girls escape. Quickly go after them…"

Before the man could finish his words, the gale grew stronger once again!

Suddenly, it was like hundreds of thousands of people growling at the same time as their surroundings seemed to whizz about like an incoming tsunami. All the trees in the forest bent in unison. The accumulated snow all around the mountains went dancing in the air simultaneously.

It was not just obscured vision now. Even if one were to be possessed of greater eyesight, they would not be able to see anything past their own fingers.

"Sheet!"

The man growled. His body went against the wind in a flash, like a sharp blade that went against a current as it forcefully cut the northern wind open.

…

A moment ago, Yun Yang, who had traveled from afar, arrived and overlooked the forest from the sky.

At one glance, he could already spot Ji Lingxi who was fleeing pitifully carrying Yue Rulan. He was enraged at once. The bloodstains on the girls, their pale faces and their struggle to survive pierced Yun Yang’s heart like a blade.

Before he made a move though, he was surprised to sense a strong aura being exuded from the forest faintly.

Yun Yang was infuriated, but he tried his best to remain levelheaded. "All the more I can’t be raging at this time. The ability of the opponent is unknown as of now; things will not get done if I go through it with temporal bravado. It\'s alright if I\'m the only one who dies, but I have an eighth sister-in-law and Lingxi’s lives in my hand!"

Clever as the Thousand Illusion Monkey might be, it was only a young baby. Its spiritual sense was not awakened yet. Despite being able to give a warning and direct the way, it could not tell Yun Yang what had happened in full. Now that Yun Yang thought of it, Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan might have been in a critical state but their opponent might not be any better off.

After all, Ji Lingxi’s cultivation base was only at the fifth peak when they had separated then. It had not been long; even if Ji Lingxi had breakthroughs, her advance would have been limited. If there was still room for her to escape, then their opponent must not be someone with a formidable force!

It was such a calculation and assumption that Yun Yang had not thought of; what could he do if the opponent of Ji Lingxi was someone so powerful that even Yun Yang could not handle him?

Lo and behold, not only was Yun Yang shocked to realize that the other party’s ability had far exceeded his expectations, it was so high that he could not even begin to fathom it!

Yun Yang took a deep breath and hovered around, pretending to be the northern wind…

"The cultivator’s aura isn’t ordinary and any one of their auras are much stronger than mine… What’s more, two of them seems to… be parallel to Ling Xiaozui? Compared to Ling Xiaozui’s aura the other day, it’s only a strand of hair’s difference… Who are they? How could they be so formidable?"

Upon identifying the combat power of the other party, Yun Yang was stunned at his own judgment!

How could there be such terrifying aura at this time and place? An expert of such amazing levels?

What was more puzzling was that they were hunting for Ji Lingxi!

Since there was the existence of such frightening experts, why had they not seized Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan long ago? There was definitely a conspiracy at work here!

How many experts on this earth could there be of these people’s level?

With what Yun Yang knew, there was only a total of four to five people who had achieved such levels.

Ling Xiaozui was one, Dugu Chou who was a legend was, of course, one as well. Mr. Nian, who was Four Seasons Tower’s mastermind, must naturally be one too while the other was someone whom he only knew of by name - Jun Moyan…

Yun Yang really had no idea of any more, had never even heard of their names.

Now though, there were two at the same time. Yun Yang could not help connecting the dots -could it be that it was the Four Seasons Tower’s Mr. Nian?

Who was the other one then? If the Four Seasons Tower were to possess two powerful forces at the same time, it could have wiped out Ling Xiaozui easily. With the tower’s manpower, material resources, ability, and force, it would have been a piece of cake to trap Ling Xiaozui and long be done with the thorn in its side.

This should be a question for the Four Seasons Tower or Ling Xiaozui to ponder upon; it had nothing to do with Yun Yang. Whatever it was, no matter who the person was below, it was a tough nut that Yun Yang could not fight head-on!

This stretch of forest meant extreme danger to Yun Yang at any given time.

In spite of this, Yun Yang would never allow Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan to be captured, no matter how dangerous it could be! Even if his life was at stake, it did not matter.

The wind continued howling.

The black-robed elder and the elegant, relaxed man beneath seemed to be the culprits for this.

He decided immediately after careful deliberation.

Yun Yang had cultivated the various manifestations and was rather adept; it was time to test them out!

The gale grew even harsher by ten-fold almost immediately!

The snow that had fallen across the mountains soared high into the sky, following the wind; everything within heaven and earth was blurry. At the same time, a tornado formed in the sky and charged downwards like an enraged dragon.

The man on the other side was exceptionally quick in reacting. Yun Yang had only manifested but the man was already shooting over through the clouds like a sharp arrow!

The young lord noticed that the violent tornado was man-made with just a single glance as he roared angrily, "Who is it? How dare you spoil this young lord’s plan?"

The tornado took no heed of his words as the gale rolled, curling Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan into the breeze and left the ground, soaring up and retreating fast!

Yun Yang knew that he only had this chance, judging by his opponent’s ability. Therefore, he had rolled the two ladies up and retreated at once, without hesitation.

"Stay here!"

The man’s body catapulted horizontally forward, soaring up diagonally to face the vicious northern wind. A hand stretched out from his sleeves abruptly but it was all black; making a grabbing motion, he yelled, "Stay right there!"

His grabbing gesture caused a black hole to appear amidst the heavy snow! All the spiritual Qi from heaven and earth was blocked outside of this black hole. The area it engulfed reached up a thousand feet in the air!

Yun Yang could feel the lockdown on him; he would not have the power to defend himself against such power! The hand was exceptionally speedy. It looked like it was about to consume the tornado and put an end to it!

With a thought in Yun Yang’s mind, a crack sounded in midair!

When the snow flew in a flurry this season, how could there be thunder? Not only that, there was lightning accompanying it!

The man was shocked.

The flash of lightning wriggled like a shiny silver snake, cutting through the air and landing precisely on the man’s inky right hand.

A boom - the force that came from the grab vanished.

Smoke rose from the right hand that had been struck by lightning; the man retracted it but his other hand shot out to repeat the same grabbing motion with an even more brutal aura.

With a soft rubbing sound, he had grabbed another black hole out of thin air!

He was obviously infuriated from being struck by the flash of lightning; his strike this time was laced with resentment born out of anger and embarrassment.

However, the tornado had risen a thousand feet higher into the sky, using the gap when the lightning struck him. It was rising still, widening the distance between them. Even when the man attacked a second time with even more force, it was futile.

Then came a sonorous cry. A radiance glimmered underneath; a bright sword light and a black-clothed silhouette accompanied by a surging sword energy soared thousands of feet high into the sky.

It was the black-robed elder who had sprung into the sky with his sword to stop the tornado!

His sword could shake even the wind and thunder as he moved like a dragon with his weapon at a high altitude.

"Where can you go?"

Yun Yang was shaken once more; his manifestation of the tornado sped up again to avoid the old man at all cost.

However, as the sword slashed downwards, the dragon-like tornado broke apart! The lower half of the wind dissipated into mystical Qi with a boom and disappeared without a trace!
