Chapter 361: All-Around Crush
"I’ve never crossed hands with an SSS-class Artifact Spirit in my life, and I thought I would never have the chance again, but to my surprise, I actually met one here in this arena. Well, well!"
Feng Yunxiu burst into laughter, his gaze towards Xiao Zhan brimming with a fighting spirit!
Xiao Zhan maintained his respect for him. Although Feng Yunxiu was also at the Realm of a Fifth Grade Spirit Master, just from his aura alone, he was different from an ordinary Fifth Grade Spirit Master.
Xiao Zhan was full of confidence in himself, but he also remained utterly vigilant.
As the Void Bell Sound tolled, the great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Feng Yunxiu initiated the attack first, his figure fleeting across the arena like his name—a cloud of white that dissolved away, with a rumbling sound like that of machinery, and the intermingling of wind and clouds. In the blink of an eye, Feng Yunxiu’s silhouette had reached Xiao Zhan.
The speed was so fast that Xiao Zhan’s pupils couldn’t help but contract.
This was the only speed among his opponents that ever surprised him!
Feng Yunxiu arrived in front of Xiao Zhan, a cold glint in his eyes as he mercilessly swung his blade towards Xiao Zhan.
The long sword’s momentum was tumultuous, and at the edge of the blade, a fierce gale enveloped, tearing through the air that didn’t even have time to escape, howling in pain as it bore down on Xiao Zhan.
Under this sword strike, Xiao Zhan felt an immense weight in front of him, as if an invisible Da Shan was pressing down on him! What he was facing was not just a blade but also the formidable pressure of Feng Yunxiu!
Boom!
Thunderbolt Flash.
Xiao Zhan’s figure quickly retreated, covering a distance of dozens of meters. Confronting this ferocious move, Xiao Zhan chose not to endure it head-on but used Thunder Shadow Step to widen the gap.
Although he could have fended off the attack, doing so would have put him in a passive position, as Feng Yunxiu could have continued his onslaught.
Xiao Zhan, in fighting anyone, whether man or woman, always prefers to take the initiative!
With the Thunder Shadow Step deployed, thunder roared beneath his feet.
While widening the gap, Xiao Zhan released the Death Aura, which rolled out like thick smoke, immediately shrouding Feng Yunxiu in its grasp.
Feng Yunxiu’s first strike did not succeed, but he was not surprised in his heart. None who made it this far were weaklings.
He would not be fooled by the illusion of age!
Therefore, he immediately launched a second attack on Xiao Zhan, but at this moment, the Death Aura enveloped him.
He chose not to evade but instead channeled the Spirit Manipulation Energy within his body and slashed through the Death Aura in front of him.
With the potent Wind attribute energy, his blade easily cut through the Death Aura and blew it aside, clearing a wide path in front of him!
Feng Yunxiu swiftly closed in on Xiao Zhan following this path.
Xiao Zhan continued to deploy Thunder Shadow Step without panic, steadily retreating while constantly releasing Death Aura.
The Death Aura was easy to slice open, but it had a feature—it could gather back together.
As long as there was enough Death Aura, it could envelop Feng Yunxiu.
Even if Feng Yunxiu could keep cutting through it, unable to be enveloped, Xiao Zhan’s advantage was already forming.
Within the Death Aura, the enemy was unable to sense Xiao Zhan’s position.
Xiao Zhan, executing the Thunder Shadow Step, moved very quickly, even faster than before on the Fushan Plain, because his Thunder Shadow Step was no longer truncated but the complete version. freeweɓnøvel.com
With the complete version of Thunder Shadow Step, not only was the speed fast but each move also took him much further.
Feng Yunxiu, even though he possessed Wind attribute energy, was never able to catch up to Xiao Zhan’s pace.
Feng Yunxiu couldn’t help but frown slightly, taking note of the pervasive Death Aura around him. In just a few breaths, he was already enveloped by the massive, smoke-like Death Aura.
Slicing through the Death Aura with his sword, the space ahead cleared up brightly and spaciously, but in just a few seconds, the Death Aura gathered again.
Feng Yunxiu’s expression turned ugly. Looking at Xiao Zhan, who had disappeared into the Death Aura, he knew unless he scattered all the Death Aura in one go, there was simply no dealing with it.
"Is this the attribute of a SSS grade Artifact Spirit? It’s unexpectedly troublesome."
Feng Yunxiu murmured to himself, then his expression firmed up, and he wielded his long sword, turning the combined green and white colors into a uniform white at that moment!
At the same time, the Wind attribute energy around him began to thicken.
The invisible wind turned into condensed white mist, looking like clusters of clouds.
As he continued his movements, more and more white mist appeared, spreading out from him as the center, extending in all directions. When it encountered the black Death Aura, the white and black became entangled violently upon contact.
Black and white turned to gray; the invasion of the Death Aura seemed to be effectively contained, no longer able to envelop Feng Yunxiu.
Seeing this scene, the spectators let out exclamations.
"Feng Yunxiu is laying all his cards on the table right from the start, it seems that Xiao Zhan has put a lot of pressure on him!"
"Double SSS grade talents almost completely suppress Feng Yunxiu, especially the SSS grade Artifact Spirit, the quality is simply incomparable to Feng Yunxiu’s S grade."
"You’re right, S grade is called S grade because Artifact Spirits can only attain up to S grade. But SSS grade is called SSS grade because the highest is only SSS grade."
"Feng Yunxiu is probably in trouble now."
"Don’t jump to conclusions yet; their battle is just beginning."
"..."
In the arena, seeing the invasion of the Death Aura contained, Feng Yunxiu’s face did not show any sign of relaxation.
Because although the aggression of the Death Aura had slowed down, it was still being eroded by the Death Aura - his envelopment was just a matter of time.
His brows knit together tightly; the powerful attribute of the SSS grade Artifact Spirit was truly beyond his expectations.
He had fought against many S grade Artifact Spirits, and while their attributes were indeed strong, with his dual attributes and extensive combat experience, he could close the gap and even turn the tables in some cases.
But now, facing this Death Aura, he felt an unprecedented strain.
This absolute attribute suppression made him feel as though he was stepping into a void, endlessly falling.
Just then, he felt a chill behind his back, as a sense of fatal crisis struck him fiercely!
Without looking, he knew that Xiao Zhan had launched an attack.
Although the white mist could not resist the erosion of Xiao Zhan’s Death Aura, it still provided him with a breathing space. As long as Xiao Zhan attacked, he would have to appear amidst the mist.
And at that moment, he could pinpoint Xiao Zhan’s position instantly.
Swinging the long sword in his hand, he brought up a surge of ferocious energy, turned around, and with the momentum, he chopped down with his sword!
