Chapter 163: Reunion with Xikou
The product was in the summer speech collection moment. The surrounding space all produced intense shock waves, strong air waves swirling around the body, and instantly rushed out in all directions. Trees that were relatively close by were directly impacted by these air waves. Some were even snapped in half and thrown flying.
The sound of the tree branches snapping did not subside for a while.
Xia Yan's eyes saw the destruction he had caused, and his heart was also shocked.
"It's fortunate that it wasn't in the Xia family's compound, otherwise the entire courtyard would probably be completely destroyed. Even buildings relatively far away might have been affected. At that time, everyone in the family would have rushed over to see what happened."
In the distant mountains and forests, all kinds of birds and beasts were frightened, for a time, various flying birds flew out of the forest, calling and circling in the air, those wild animals also made huge roaring sounds, running around everywhere.
"My inner power has now fully transformed into spiritual power!" Xia Yan clenched his fists, "The strength of my entire body feels several times stronger than before. A full-force strike, I wonder how much power it can unleash! Now my speed should also be much faster, right?"
Xia Yan's feet slowly closed together, and her palms naturally fell downwards.
Suddenly, Xia Yan's single foot on the stone shop burst out with a strong force, and then his body rapidly flew into the air.
Qiang Fu's power sent Xia Yan soaring tens of meters high in an instant.
"With a light kick, he could jump such a high distance, and the spiritual power was indeed much stronger than the internal force." Xia Yan's mind turned, and suddenly he poured his spiritual power downwards, and then his body suddenly changed to fly upwards, but instead fell towards the ground at an even faster speed.
”
With just a faint sound, Xia Yan landed steadily on the ground amidst the scattered stones.
In the past, when Xia Yan used his inner power, he couldn't do it like this. For example, in mid-air, it was impossible to turn around immediately. Inertia made Xia Yan powerless at times. In mid-air, there was no fulcrum. Wanting to borrow the power of the air was very difficult!
However, now that I've used spiritual power to control my body, I can instantly move my body quickly without any support points. Although I couldn't sustain this control for long periods of time, I could create a huge change in an instant, which was something Xia Yan had never imagined before.
This should be the explosive power of spiritual energy. In the body, spiritual energy can reach any part of the body instantly through the martial arts meridians.
Although the internal force was already very fast in the meridians before, it's much slower compared to the spiritual power now. Spiritual power can be instantly absorbed into the Ling Gathering Cave from one meridian and then transferred to another meridian. This instantaneous transfer of power allows cultivators to exert even stronger and more targeted combat strength!
Standing on a yellowish-brown rock! Xia Yan's face gradually became serious again.
"No way!" Xia Yan shook his head, "I have now completely converted my internal energy into spiritual energy. From now on, there will be no more internal energy in my body. However, spiritual energy is not like internal energy that is produced by the body, but rather it absorbs the external spiritual energy of heaven and earth. And I, now, seem to be unable to feel the external spiritual energy at all. Let alone absorb it."
Just now Xia Yan tried using the Ling Gathering Cave to sense the spiritual energy outside, but there was no effect at all.
"Never mind, I'll ask the Holy Emperor Grandfather when I have time. Maybe it's not time yet, and I can only do it after a while." After thinking for a moment, Xia Yan's eyebrows relaxed, and a bright light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the lazy dog beside him.
"Mission accomplished, Tǔ Gǒu! We should head back now!" Xia Yan said with a smile to Tǔ Gǒu, "For the next few days, let's get familiar with our current spiritual power and make sure our martial skills and spiritual power can work in harmony!"
The dog barked loudly and happily.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Xia Yan's expression paused.
He felt that there was an unusual movement not far ahead.
"Has someone come?" Xia Yan murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This faint noise shouldn't be made by wild animals.
"Whisper"
With Xia Yan's five senses greatly enhanced, he soon heard a faint rustling sound coming from the forest.
。
"It's indeed a human, beasts don't make such footsteps!" Xia Yan's eyes changed and his gaze became heavy. "Ordinary people can't even climb up here, those who can must be cultivators with exceptional strength. Cultivators, what are they doing here?"
Roar
The dog also bared its teeth and stared at the unusually quiet forest in front of it.
At this time, a figure slowly emerged from the trees
Xia Yan was calm, he knew this person, it was Xi Xikou who fought with him in the Extreme Challenge arena. Xi's weapon was a pair of iron claws, and his strength was that of an initial Spirit Master.
"What is he doing here?" Xia Yan thought to herself.
"Hehe,"
Xigawa saw Xia Yan and smiled slyly.
"Finally found him, this little guy, actually hiding in this corner. If it weren't for those startled birds and beasts, it wouldn't be easy to find." Xichuan said with a cold smile.
"Who are you?" Xia Yan asked on purpose.
He was fighting as Ling Luo against Xikang, but now he is in Xia Yan's identity.
"Are you Xia Yan from the Xia family?" Xikawa didn't answer Xia Yan's question, but instead asked gloomily:
Xia Yan nodded and said: "That's right, I am Xia Yan, who are you? Do you know me?"
"Haha, that's right, who I am is not important, but now I'm going to kill you!" Nishikawa said with a cold smile, his sinister gaze sweeping around.
"That's strange. That suspicious guy doesn't seem to be here yet. Has he not found it? Well, that's even better. Let me take care of this little one." Murmured Nishikawa.
He was talking about Su Lei, the black-clad assassin.
"Kill me? I have no grudge against you, and we didn't even know each other before. Why do you want to kill me?" Xia Yan furrowed his brow.
"Little guy, so many words! Haha. But it's okay to tell you, you and I are not acquainted, nor do we have any grudges. However, there is someone in Yushui City who wants you dead!" Xichuan laughed loudly.
While speaking, a pair of dark iron claws had already emerged from his hands, and spiritual energy was circulating within his body.
The county's words had also been prepared in advance, with spiritual power accumulating momentum, ready to launch an attack at any time.
"Oh?" Xia Yan suddenly smiled, "The person who wants me dead that you mentioned, isn't it the Patriarch of the Xi Po Tian clan?"
What Xiaoyan thought of at the first time was naturally Xi Po Tian. In Yushui City, the person who hated himself the most was probably Xi Po Tian. Apart from Xi Po Tian, there were also Lao Ma and Xu Yangshui's family members. However, Xiaoyan felt that the Ma and Xu families should not have such audacity, nor did they have the ability to invite a powerful spirit master like Xichuan.
"As expected, you're clever!" Nishikawa's eyes gleamed, "Now it's your turn to die. Heh heh. It's getting late, and I still have a journey to take after killing you."
”
Xigawa's breath sank, and his figure rushed towards Xia Yan at high speed, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth. His feet tapped the ground three times in succession, then brought up a whirlwind that swept across dozens of meters.
In his view, killing Xia Yan was easy. A Spirit Master killing a Heaven Stronger didn't require much effort at all.
Xia Yan also secretly thought in his heart: "I just upgraded my strength, and now a guy who can test my strength has arrived. Mouthy, Xichuan, you're asking for trouble."
An idea flashed through his mind, and Xia Yan's long sword was already drawn out of its scabbard. With a swift motion, he launched into the first move of the Ling Luo Sword!
”
Ling Luo's sword emitted a burst of sword energy in mid-air, sweeping towards Xikou who was rapidly approaching.
Nishikawa was shocked, his eyes wide with the inertia of the rapid impact unable to stop at once. His body hastily shifted to the right, barely dodging the sharp sword energy.
"How is this possible? The strong man of two days ago swung his sword energy with a wave of his hand?" Xichuan's mind was shocked, and cold sweat broke out.
"No way, this Xia Yan, won't he also become a Ling Master?" Xi Chuan's body trembled, but at this moment his body was still charging forward.
A dark and sinister iron claw emerged from his hand, swiftly striking out with a trail of residual shadow and an ear-piercing whistling sound, mercilessly grabbing towards Xia Yan.
Although he was shocked in his heart, Xichuan's rich experience in killing made his movements still extremely swift and agile, without any hesitation.
"Born!"
Xia Yan clearly saw the iron claw hitting his chest in the extreme challenge arena. Xia Yan's eyesight was not good enough to see the trajectory of Xichuan Iron Claw's attack, but now it was very easy to see the trajectory of the iron claw.
The dog wagged its tail beside Xia Yan. Its body leaned forward, as if it was about to rush towards Xi Chuan at any moment. It also knew Xia Yan's thoughts, so it didn't rush out immediately.
Xia Yan's body slightly shifted to the right, his toes touching the ground, and he slid sideways to the right. Xichuan's iron claws brushed past Xia Yan's clothes as they flew by.
"Wow, so fast!" Xichuan, who had now confirmed that Xia Yan was a Spirit Master.
The strong one after tomorrow, it's impossible to have such speed. Extremely terrifying speed. Xikawa just now didn't even see clearly the actions and postures made by Xia Yan when he dodged.
”
After dodging to the side, Xia Yan's wrist rotated once. The long sword emitted a piercing sound as it broke through the air, and then flashed with a cold light as it stabbed towards Xikawa's throat, which was only two meters away.
This sword, Xia Yan didn't use his full strength. He wanted to use this sudden attack from Xi to get familiar with the enormous spiritual power he had just obtained in his body. So, this one sword probably only used half of its power and speed. If he were to use his full strength, Xi would likely not be able to dodge this sword at all.
At this time, Xigawa's face had already turned black, and he had a feeling that the Xia Yan in front of him might not be his opponent. Just now, Xia Yan dodged his attack without any effort. Then, the long sword came from an eerie angle, stabbing upwards from below.
From this angle, ordinary people can't even pull out a long sword, but Xia Yan can.
Cough
Xī's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought that the Ling Luo in the extreme challenge arena also seemed to be using this strange sword technique! The idea flashed through his mind like lightning, and Xī's feet felt a chill rising up.
”
Xī's teeth clenched with a loud bite, the iron claw that had just flown out was suddenly pulled back, and it fiercely smashed into the swift sword shadow that was accompanied by a tearing sound. At the same time, both feet pushed off the ground with great force, and his body retreated backwards at an even faster speed than before.
