The sword itself had no will; only humans did!
The person was the one who gave the sword its soul, and thus, Sword Intent appeared.
"Find your reason for drawing the sword, and you will understand the Sword Intent. From now on, you will be responsible for killing any Hurricane Eagles you encounter on the road!"
Beiming Yan, brimming with confidence, readily accepted.
She wanted to slap Beiming Feng in the face!
Who told him to always tease her about not being able to comprehend any Martial Will?
"A mere Third Rank Hurricane Eagle… Fourth Rank?! Qingxue, it's your turn."
Just as Beiming Yan was beginning to feel smug, she encountered a Fourth Rank mid-stage Hurricane Eagle.
After all, there was a nearly one-rank difference between them, and with the influence of the strong winds, her strength could not reach its peak.
If she could use the speed of the Northern Sea Kunpeng to dodge and have the support of spatial power, she would dare to fight it, and the probability of killing it would be over 70%.
Wu Liang raised his head, and a dark dragon shadow slammed out from his giant claws.
It was indeed the 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike'!!
The proud dragon head was topped with a pair of jet-black horns, exuding a terrifying aura capable of annihilating everything.
The Fourth Rank mid-stage Hurricane Eagle was instantly killed by the 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike' just as it was about to unleash its power.
Wu Liang opened his massive maw and swallowed it whole.
[Ding! One Fourth Rank mid-stage Hurricane Eagle, consumed. Estimated digestion time: 6 hours!]
"Not bad, this 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike' has tremendous penetrating power. It would probably kill even a Fourth Rank peak magical beast instantly!"
The consequence of not being able to withstand it was death!
Wu Liang's current strength was comparable to a Fifth Rank magical beast!
He even had a slight urge to fight that Fifth Rank late-stage Hurricane Eagle.
Beiming Yan clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Wow, you're incredibly strong! You've even assimilated the strongest attack skill of the Celestial Horned Ink Dragon. You're absolutely unmatched!"
Wu Liang now possessed high spiritual resistance and attributes, making him virtually invincible.
Liu Fufeng, the second-best, was far inferior to him; calling him unmatched was no exaggeration.
"Qingxue, you could have taken that Astral Wind Crystal by yourself. Why did you agree to teach me Sword Intent?" Beiming Yan asked curiously.
Ling Qingxue smiled faintly. "Because we're friends, and it'll be easier with your help."
Beiming Yan was deeply moved.
"If you were a man, I would definitely offer myself to you by now. Your irresistible charm is truly captivating!"
Ling Qingxue turned her head away, her expression slightly speechless.
"Be serious, you're a young lady of the Beiming family."
Ling Qingxue urged Wu Liang to speed up. Killing the Hurricane Eagle wasn't her goal; the Astral Wind Crystal was.
After traversing a considerable distance, the gale intensified, causing even Wu Liang, with his large frame, to experience a slight sense of weightlessness.
"The intensity of wind is too much to withstand with physical strength alone, unless I activate my 'Greed' skill," Wu Liang said helplessly.
Seeing this, Beiming Yan smiled smugly.
"Leave it to me! Kunpeng's spatial power can stabilize space. If traversing the void didn't consume so much spatial power, Little Kun could have carried us directly to the center of the secret place!"
A spatial barrier enveloped the two, and the wind retreated on its own.
Even at only the Third Rank late-stage, Beiming Yan's Kunpeng could sustain the spatial power for a period of time to isolate the wind.
Wu Liang then shrank his body and returned to his usual spot.
The howling gale was interspersed with sharp, piercing eagle cries, its ferocious power surging forth.
That was the cry of the strongest being within the Astral Wind Secret Place, the Fifth Rank late-stage Hurricane Eagle King.
Its fury stemmed largely from the fact that Ling Qingxue and Beiming Yan had slaughtered many of its clansmen along their journey.
As the king of this place, how could it tolerate such humiliation from two weak intruders?
The gale became chaotic, swirling wildly in all directions like scattering arrows, and even the Northern Sea Kunpeng had to expend a great deal of energy to brave the wind.
Ling Qingxue turned her head to look at Beiming Yan.
"My Taotie and I will fight the Hurricane Eagle King. Yan, can you help me steal that Astral Wind Crystal? Is that alright?"
Beiming Yan frowned. "Stealing the Crystal is no problem for me, but it's too dangerous for you. The Hurricane Eagle King's strength in this secret place is far more terrifying than you imagine. A Fifth Rank martial artist tried to kill it before, but almost died here. Let's steal it and run. There's no need to fight it."
"It's fine. I'll hold it back and create an opportunity for you. You steal the Astral Wind Crystal and run!"
"No problem, I can handle it!" Beiming Yan replied confidently.
Ling Qingxue and Wu Liang charged forward, and the Devouring Domain activated at the same time.
A circle of dark ripples spread out, instantly devouring all the gale winds within a certain area.
The Devouring Domain constructed a domain entirely composed of devouring power, forcibly absorbing everything within it; how could mere gale-force winds possibly withstand it?
Furthermore, the devoured gale-force winds served to replenish Wu Liang's energy reserves for maintaining the domain.
Possessing the Devouring Domain provided an overwhelming advantage in combat.
Only Liu Fufeng truly understood the details of this experience.
Faced with Wu Liang's domain, the Hurricane Eagle King's pupils constricted, and it unconsciously moved further away.
Strange!
Incredibly strange!!
Domains were clearly only usable by King Rank magical beasts, yet a mere Fourth Rank could wield one!
This completely overturned everything it had ever known in its life as an eagle.
Ling Qingxue smiled. "This time, I'll assist you. Let's see if we can kill it without using the 'Taotie Feast'!"
"Oh, Little Xuexue, you're getting cocky! That's a Fifth Rank late-stage beast with over 100,000 vitality points. You're only at the Third Rank early-stage, and you dare to go all out with me?!"
"Isn't that your responsibility? I'll just use a spirit formation to support you. I know my own limitations," Ling Qingxue said with a faint smile.
"Sure, let's team up, it'll make the work easier! Let's kill the Hurricane Eagle King!"
Using the Devouring Domain for a prolonged battle might just be the way to wear down the opponent.
If he truly activated the 'Taotie Feast', with its terrifying suppressive power over magical beast bloodlines, Wu Liang was 80% confident he could kill the Hurricane Eagle King!
But without it, the chance was at most 40%, since the level difference was still quite significant, and Ling Qingxue's spirit formation could only provide a small boost.
"I'm going in! Little Xuexue, you set up the spirit formation as needed!"
With that, Wu Liang activated his Devouring Domain and charged towards the Hurricane Eagle King.
With the aura of the Taotie bloodline and the boost from his level 30 'Greed' skill, Wu Liang became incredibly ferocious, his jet-black energy churning like a raging torrent.
"Screech!"
The Hurricane Eagle King let out a high-pitched cry, seemingly trying to scare Wu Liang away.
Even the most ferocious creature felt fear in the face of the unknown.
Wu Liang unleashed 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike', and the rushing ink-black dragon horn struck one of the Hurricane Eagle King's wings, causing it to let out a painful scream.
"A simple 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike' certainly won't kill you, but it will leave you with no chance of escape!"
This was a tactical move, a rogue tactic he learned from Ling Qingxue.
Nothing was shameful; only effectiveness mattered.
The best tactic was the one that could kill the opponent!!
