Overlord of the Wilderness

SWOOSH—

Zhaang Ye’s figure flashed like lightning as he shot toward the long-robed youth.

The Innate True Qi within the long-robed youth’s body was already incredibly dense, and the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi deep within the Little World was exceptionally rich. If this young man were allowed to cultivate here, he might actually break through to the Half-step True Dao realm.

A Half-Step True Dao Expert was far more powerful than someone at the Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer. If the long-robed youth advanced to the Half-step True Dao realm, Zhaang Ye would have no choice but to flee. Therefore, Zhaang Ye unhesitatingly gave up on Ling Kongyun and chased after the long-robed youth with all his might, intending to strike him down on the spot.

Zhaang Ye was currently using the Body Technique derived from the Cloud-Breaking Slash. He moved like a blade flying through the void, crossing several hundred yards in an instant.

The long-robed youth glanced at Zhaang Ye’s speed, and his heart leaped wildly. True Qi erupted from his body as he pushed his speed to the absolute limit, flying into the distance trailing a faint, fiery glow.

A cold smirk touched Zhaang Ye’s lips as he shouted, ”Where do you think you’re going!”

As he spoke, his speed surged once more, and he rapidly closed the distance.

Sensing Zhaang Ye’s terrifying speed, the long-robed youth’s heart sank. Zhaang Ye was currently flying about twenty percent faster than him. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Zhaang Ye caught up!

’I’ll risk it all!’

A ruthless look flashed in the long-robed youth’s eyes, and his shoulders trembled slightly. With that small tremor, his robe suddenly shifted, transforming in an instant into a pair of wings over twenty feet wide. True Qi flowed ceaselessly over them, and faint, visible Runes flickered in and out of existence, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura.

PFFT!

The long-robed youth spat out a mouthful of blood. His wings then vibrated, and a mysterious, unfathomable power emerged from the void to support his body in flight. Aided by this power, his speed instantly tripled!

’Hmm? There’s a mysterious power in those wings! It’s gentle and light... Could it be the legendary power of wind?’ Zhaang Ye stared at the long-robed youth’s wings, a look of astonishment on his face.

Relying on the power of his wings, the long-robed youth quickly widened the gap, leaving Zhaang Ye behind. He laughed maniacally as he flew, his voice filled with hatred. ”Zhaang Ye, just you wait! I’ll come back for you after I advance to the Half-step True Dao realm! Do you understand? You’ll never leave this Little World alive, never again! HAHAHAHA...”

A murderous glint flashed in Zhaang Ye’s eyes. He frantically poured his Dragon Elephant Power into the Mysterious Blade Tip. The blade immediately let out a strange HUM, and an ancient aura erupted from its tip, soaring into the sky.

”Go!” With a slight flick of his wrist, Zhaang Ye sent the Mysterious Blade Tip flying. It instantly transformed into a brilliant rainbow streak of light, shooting straight for the long-robed youth’s back.

The long-robed youth was already moving incredibly fast, but propelled by the Dragon Elephant Power, the Mysterious Blade Tip was twice as fast. The blade tip flew like a bolt of lightning. While still a hundred yards away, a terrifying Ancient Sword Intent washed over the youth, making him shiver as if he’d been plunged into an ice cellar.

”AHH!” the long-robed youth screamed. The True Qi in his body exploded, forcefully shifting him a foot to the side and allowing him to narrowly avoid being impaled by the blade tip. Though he dodged the Mysterious Blade Tip itself, the long trail of Sword Qi slashed across his back. He immediately spat out a Blood Arrow, having sustained a grievous injury.

”PFFT— AHH, I’ll kill you! I swear it!”

The long-robed youth knew he couldn’t stop now, or he would surely die. Howling, he flapped his wings and vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Zhaang Ye flew forward a thousand yards to retrieve the Mysterious Blade Tip, a look of regret on his face. The long-robed youth’s Cultivation was exquisite, and his Innate True Qi was incredibly abundant. If he really managed to advance to the Half-step True Dao realm in a short time, it would be a huge problem.

’Since that long-robed youth escaped, I’ll just go kill Ling Kongyun first!’ Zhaang Ye made his decision decisively and flew in the direction Ling Kongyun had fled.

The sky in the Little World was crystal clear. A Martial Artist with profound Cultivation could see things over a hundred li away. Ling Kongyun was currently soaring through the sky. When he saw Zhaang Ye turn and come after him, his expression changed drastically.

WHOOSH—

Ling Kongyun frantically circulated his True Qi, using his Body Technique to fly toward a tall mountain at full speed.

Zhaang Ye sneered and flew straight after Ling Kongyun. Although they were separated by more than twenty li, such a distance was nothing to Zhaang Ye. Ling Kongyun’s combat strength was formidable, but his actual Cultivation was only at the Late-stage Martial Arts Ninth Layer. As long as Zhaang Ye kept up the pursuit, it was only a matter of time before he caught him.

Seeing Zhaang Ye draw closer and closer, Ling Kongyun sighed and took an ancient Token from his robes.

This ancient Token was none other than the Beast Taming Order given to him by the Great Hall Master of the Moon Country True Hall. By channeling True Qi into it, he could summon the Purple-haired Wild Boar, the second most powerful creature in the Little World.

Ling Kongyun had originally planned to join forces with the long-robed youth, Yangx Guyuan, and the others to kill Zhaang Ye first. Afterward, he would team up with the Purple-haired Wild Boar to defeat the other young experts in the Little World one by one and seize their Essence Stones. But he never imagined that Zhaang Ye would be so powerful. Yangx Guyuan was no match for him, and even he and the long-robed youth together were still no match for him!

Now that Zhaang Ye had locked onto him, his only hope of survival was to use his final resort: have the Purple-haired Wild Boar kill Zhaang Ye.

WHOOSH! Ling Kongyun slowly infused his True Qi into the Beast Taming Order. Various Arrays were carved onto its surface. As his True Qi entered the Token, the Arrays immediately activated. The Beast Taming Order began to emit a faint purple light, and an imperceptible ripple suddenly spread out.

AWOOO—

An earth-shattering roar echoed from a faraway place. The sound was filled with boundless, savage energy. With that single, long roar, all the Fierce Beasts within a hundred-li radius dropped to the ground, not daring to move. Some of the weaker Fierce Beasts were so terrified they lost control of their bowels and buried their heads in the dirt.

Hearing the roar from afar, Zhaang Ye was startled. ’The Fierce Beast that made that sound is much stronger than a Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer expert! I wonder if it’s the Purple-haired Wild Boar or the Sharp-headed Mongoose?’

Among the Five Great Fierce Beasts of the Little World, the Green-eyed Golden Eagle was a bird, and its cry was instantly recognizable. The sounds made by the Two-winged Flying Crocodile and the Death Bee were also very different from that of a beast. Therefore, Zhaang Ye immediately determined that the creature making this strange cry was either the second-ranked Purple-haired Wild Boar or the third-ranked Sharp-headed Mongoose.

RUMBLE—

Hearing the monster’s roar, Zhaang Ye’s flight speed suddenly increased again. Although he enjoyed robbing Fierce Beasts, the Five Great Fierce Beasts of this Little World were no ordinary creatures. Without absolute certainty of victory, Zhaang Ye had no desire to provoke them. He decided to kill Ling Kongyun quickly and then get out of there.

Fifteen li!

Ten li!

Five li!

Three li!

Zhaang Ye was like a flying blade, like a streak of light soaring through the void. He rapidly closed the gap. In the time it took to take just over ten breaths, Zhaang Ye was already within one li of Ling Kongyun!

AWOOO—

Just then, the monster’s roar sounded again. This time, the sound came from several dozen li away. The sheer force of the roar shook the leaves and dust in the Little World, sending them flying into the air. A nearby river actually stopped flowing for an instant, all its water erupting into the sky as spray.

Zhaang Ye’s eardrums were ringing, and he was horrified. ’This Fierce Beast’s power might not match a Half-step True Dao Expert, but it can’t be much weaker! In this Little World, the only Fierce Beasts with such incredible strength are the Green-eyed Golden Eagle and the Purple-haired Wild Boar! This creature is very likely the second-ranked Purple-haired Wild Boar!’

While Zhaang Ye was terrified, Ling Kongyun was overjoyed. He knew the Purple-haired Wild Boar was strong, but he never expected it to be this powerful. A single roar had made all Fierce Beasts within a two-to-three-hundred-li radius submit and had even stopped the flow of a river a hundred li away. Even against a Half-Step True Dao Expert, this Purple-haired Wild Boar could probably put up a fight!

’Excellent! With the Purple-haired Wild Boar being this powerful, Zhaang Ye is doomed this time!’ A look of ecstasy appeared on Ling Kongyun’s face, and his flight speed even increased slightly.

AWOOO—

Another roar. Shortly after the sound faded, Zhaang Ye saw a purple shadow suddenly appear several dozen li away. The purple shadow was moving at an incredible speed, covering several li in a single flash. Its savage aura was so intense that even Zhaang Ye found it hard to breathe!

’It really is the Purple-haired Wild Boar! Its savage aura is so thick. I wonder how many young experts and Fierce Beasts have died under its claws!’ Startled, Zhaang Ye’s figure faltered for a moment.

’My Long Whip is a True Artifact, and it can easily kill a Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer expert. But this Purple-haired Wild Boar is so powerful, and its purple fur is exceptionally tough. Even with a True Artifact, I doubt I could kill it! Ling Kongyun is more likely to die than survive this encounter with the boar. I should get out of here first!’ Looking at the rapidly approaching Purple-haired Wild Boar, Zhaang Ye decisively gave up the chase and used his Body Technique to flee for his life.

”HAHAHAHA! Zhaang Ye, you can’t escape! You can’t escape!” Zhaang Ye had only flown about a li when he heard Ling Kongyun’s voice echoing from far behind him. He turned to look and saw that the terrifying Purple-haired Wild Boar hadn’t eaten Ling Kongyun. Instead, it was carrying Ling Kongyun as it chased straight after him! (To be continued.
