I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 114: Wind Chasing Step Skill, Lu Xuan Rushes Ahead!

To say the least, the flesh and blood of a martial artist at the Blood Refining Realm is far more valuable than consuming the whole town’s population.

Yao Feng sits on horseback, riding along the official road at pace.

The direction in which he rides is towards Taihe County, adjacent to Fenglin County.

Now Yao Feng cannot afford to care about too many issues; he can only gamble with his life.

He is betting that Lord Xuan is relentless in his pursuit towards them.

If time has not betrayed him, Lord Xuan must have already arrived in Taihe County by now.

In other words, Yao Feng is risking his safety to lure those two mystical creatures to encounter Lord Xuan.

"Damn it, the speed of these two beasts is too fast!"

At this moment, Yao Feng’s body trembles; he already perceives the terrifying gaze from behind.

The horse beneath him also seems to sense the impending terror from behind—akin to the feeling of a predator’s hunting gaze.

So, it doesn’t even need Yao Feng’s command.

The horse’s galloping speed appears as if it’s about to soar into the air.

The speed of this horse is actually not inferior to those two beasts behind him.

Taihe County border!

On the official road are two seemingly elegant and light horses.

Under the silver moonlight, they are like two black streaks of lightning breaking through the night’s tranquility, galloping swiftly forward.

Behind the horses, they kick up rolling dust which is then gently smoothed by the breeze, leaving two deep hoofprints in the soil.

The riders of these two horses are none other than Lu Xuan and Zhao Sheng!

Suddenly, a loud birdsong echoed through the distant sky.

A black dot appeared in the sky before Lu Xuan and Zhao Sheng, gradually enlarging until its full form was visible.

Zhao Sheng, under the faint moonlight, discerned the bird’s shape and exclaimed immediately.

"Lord Xuan!"

"It’s a Black Xuan Bird!"

Lu Xuan heard the words, looked up towards the sky, and then extended his right hand.

The five fingers gently clenched in the void, creating a violently trembling vortex of Qi in his palm.

The Black Xuan Bird in the sky seemed to be attracted by some terrifying force, speeding towards Lu Xuan’s right hand.

After Lu Xuan grasped the Black Xuan Bird in his palm, he quickly reached out with the other hand to retrieve the small note tied to the bird’s leg.

Yinshi Town’s monster!

On the note, there were only these five characters.

Though few, these five characters meaning was already clear to Lu Xuan.

The next instant, Lu Xuan pulled up the reins, slowing the horse’s pace, and stopped.

Zhao Sheng, observing this, quickly took hold of his reins and stopped as well.

Then, Lu Xuan furrowed his brow, eyes fixed on the distant sky, and spoke.

"Too slow!"

"Zhao Sheng, those two mystical beasts are already in Yinshi Town,

from our current position, how far is it to Yinshi Town?"

Zhao Sheng, hearing this, answered Lu Xuan’s question meticulously.

"Lord Xuan, at present we are at Taihe County’s border,

approximately two hours away from Yinshi Town."

"Two hours?"

In two hours.

Perhaps all of Yinshi Town’s population wouldn’t fill those two beasts’ teeth.

By the time I arrive, those two beasts might have vanished.

Then, Lu Xuan lifted his right hand and glanced at the Black Xuan Bird within.

Currently, the Black Xuan Bird also sensed Lu Xuan’s gaze, its small eyes trembling.

It seemed somewhat afraid of Lu Xuan.

When Lu Xuan departed from the Prefecture city, Mr. He had once told him.

The Black Xuan Bird possessed a hint of spiritual intelligence capable of understanding human language.

"Take me to the person who released you!"

Once said, Lu Xuan released his right hand, and the Black Xuan Bird fluttered its wings, soaring upwards as if understanding Lu Xuan’s commands.

Lu Xuan locked his senses onto the bird and stimulated his inner Qi, transforming into a phantom-like afterimage, vanishing from Zhao Sheng’s view.

Since the horse was too slow, he had no choice but to harness the inner Qi, utilizing the Wind Chasing Step Skill for his journey.

Though traveling this way was consuming for Lu Xuan, his speed far surpassed normal expectations.

With Lu Xuan’s current pace, for the distance Shen Fengjun covers in two hours.

He only required less than an hour to reach Yinshi Town!

"Haha!"

"Human martial artist!"

"Where are you running!"

Seeing Yao Feng approaching, the two mystical foxes’ blood-red eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glow.

Naturally, Yao Feng also heard the sound of these two beasts.

Yao Feng perceived his horse beneath him was nearing total fatigue.

"It’s not working, the horse’s stamina is nearing depletion."

Seeing the situation reach a critical juncture, Yao Feng leaped off the horse.

Thereafter, the horse’s limbs could no longer support its body, collapsing heavily to the ground.

Yao Feng’s entire body surged with blood, erupting with fearsome strength to dash forward.

Yet, it wasn’t long before those two mystical beasts caught up with him.

In the face of Inner Qi Realm beasts, Yao Feng’s strength was like an ant, insignificant.

A claw swept through the air, carrying an impossibly chilling demonic aura.

Yao Feng perceived this terrifying claw and swiftly shifted his body.

Rip!

The next second, the sound of flesh tearing rang out.

Unable to evade entirely, Yao Feng’s back was carved with a deep wound.

Yao Feng instantly felt the pain, his body rolling on the ground, then rapidly standing up.

At this moment, Yao Feng’s back wound hissed, emitting thick white vapor.

Besides this, the wound continuously bled.

Drenching throughout his back’s clothing, as well as both legs.

"What powerful demonic aura!"

Yao Feng looked at the two mystical foxes surrounding him, terror flooding his heart.

The demonic aura from the claw was wildly wreaking havoc on his inner blood.

"So cold!"

Since breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm, Yao Feng hadn’t felt such cold until now.

"Die!"

Yao Feng seized a broadsword from his waist while the two beasts were distracted.

The blade enveloped in myriad white vapor—this was Yao Feng’s last strike.

"A formidable martial artist!"

"Savory!"

Faced with Yao Feng’s final attack.

The two beasts paid it no heed, directly opening their bloody mouths to devour him.

Yet, the instant the two foxes attempted a bite.

Almost as if Yao Feng was thin air, there was no tangible entity.

In midair, Yao Feng’s figure gradually faded and vanished.

An afterimage?

The two foxes’ enormous eyes showed puzzled expressions for the first time.

Then simultaneously they turned to a certain direction, where two figures appeared.

Among them, was Yao Feng who had abruptly disappeared.

"What a surprise, encountering these two mystical beasts here!"

At this moment, Yao Feng realized he survived.

He hurriedly looked up to the person that saved him.

Upon discovering it was a handsome young man.

Yao Feng’s eyes were filled with shock.

"Who might you be...?"

"White Dao Prefecture’s envoy, Lu Xuan!"
