C77

There were at least ten days until the arrival of the trainer.

The moon in the sky gradually dimmed, and one could only see the faint outline of the moon. From the mountains to the east of Pindu City, a red light emerged, the intersection of red and grey was extremely beautiful.

Cui Chengyu took the initiative to look for Xu Dazhuang and cultivate for the first time ever, although he still put on an impatient expression.

Xu Dazhuang rolled up his sleeves and said full of confidence: "Just that piece of broken iron, I can break through it at any time. If you want to cultivate, I will accompany you to the end."

By absorbing Xu Dazhuang's pulse energy, Cui Chengyu managed to break through the Mai Wu Armor. After a few days, the hexagonal green armor already had some obvious cracks on it.

Feng Lian only needed to think about it and then he could pass the command to his vein beast, Feng Lian. An intense white light burst out of Feng Lian's body, and the energy that Lu Qiluo could endure was the greatest in his veins.

Nie Xinghe and Feng Lian were separated by around ten meters. Taking a small step to the right, Nie Xinghe bent his knees and prepared to sprint.

"Whoosh!"

Only the sound of the wind breaking could be heard, and the place where Nie Xinghe had just stood, was left behind a shallow footprint. In a split second, Nie Xinghe had arrived in front of Feng Lian, and grabbed towards him.

Feng Lian's speed was even slower than what Nie Xinghe expected. Nie Xinghe smiled, he stepped on the ground forcefully with his right foot and jumped into the air, then extended his hand towards Feng Lian. Just as he was about to grab onto it, Feng Lian suddenly tightened his four limbs, and slid behind Nie Xinghe like a nimble snake.

Nie Xinghe quickly turned around and stepped on the golden light. He could easily change his direction in mid air.

Nie Xinghe threw himself at Feng Lian again, and with a bear hug with his hands, he threw himself into the air. Feng Lian actually passed right before Nie Xinghe's eyes, as if he was ridiculing him.

Lu Qiluo watched on from the side, deep in thought.

Relying on his extraordinary reaction speed, he overcame the biggest weakness of the light attribute. However, Nie Xinghe's attacks had no pattern, the enemy would not just stand there and let him attack.

If Nie Xinghe knew Lu Qiluo's thoughts now, he would definitely not be able to resist ridiculing him. Back then, as an assassin, his goal was really to stand and be killed by him.

"If an assassin cannot kill without making a sound, then he is a failed assassin."

This was the path of an assassin that Nie Xinghe had hitherto believed in, and one of the purposes of the Union of Assassins.

This was the first time Nie Xinghe encountered a target as lively as Feng Lian who was scampering all over the place. Feng Lian's speed was not inferior to the Swordbird in any way.

Nie Xinghe intentionally sat down and pretended to be resting, but out of the corner of his eyes, he was constantly staring at Feng Lian's movements. As a vein beast, Feng Lian did not have the concept of stamina, and as long as there was an unending stream of qi supporting him, it would always be at its peak condition.

Nie Xinghe's breathing slowly calmed down, as he saw the right opportunity, and rushed towards Feng Lian at an extremely fast speed.

Nie Xinghe used his left hand to grab at Feng Lian. On the surface, it was full of holes, but his free right hand had already prepared itself, ready to grab Feng Lian the instant he dodged.

Feng Lian really did leap backwards. Nie Xinghe originally thought that he was already in possession of something, his right hand was as fast as an arrow, but Feng Lian moved like a gust of wind and the white light brushed past the back of Nie Xinghe's hand just in time to avoid it.

The Mysterious Sky Sovereign had already seen that Feng Lian could dodge it with all his might, but it wasn't forcing him. Feng Lian dodged it by following the air currents that Nie Xinghe caused when he attacked, like cotton in the air. The more you move, the faster it would fly, and no matter what you did, it would just become faster.

The sun rose and set, time flew by, in the blink of an eye, three days had already passed, and Nie Xinghe had more or less mastered some techniques.

The first time Nie Xinghe touched Feng Lian's body, Feng Lian landed on the ground and a few rays of white light separated out from its body, becoming exactly the same as Feng Lian.

This was a phase method that Feng Lian comprehended after he became a Pulse Beast. Lu Qiluo called it the "Phantom of Wind".

The fact that vein beasts could use the Contractor's meridian art was one of the reasons why vein beasts were stronger than spirit beasts.

When Feng Lian's true body mixed into the many imitations, Nie Xinghe's entire being was about to collapse.

Nie Xinghe's mimicry could only exist for a few seconds. When the mimicry cultivated to a certain degree, he could still control its movement through his meridians.

Nie Xinghe threw out a dart. The dart passed it over to Feng Lian.

Immediately after, the Profound Qi that was hit by the dart turned into veins floating.

Nie Xinghe heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like Feng Lian was able to create a large number of imitations, but the energy that formed these imitations were very weak, so they would disappear the moment he received the attack.

Nie Xinghe waved his right hand and shot out a golden needle. The illusions that were hit by the needles disappeared one by one.

But soon, new imitations would be born.

This was not the way to go about it.

Nie Xinghe thought, then closed his eyes and slowly opened them again. His right eye was already filled with blue flames.

At the moment of eternity, Nie Xinghe had quickly found Feng Lian's real body, but the time that the Myriad Eye could last was limited, so Nie Xinghe could only finish the battle quickly.

Nie Xinghe passed through the camouflage and went straight to Feng Lian's real body. Feng Lian did not know what kind of change had happened to Nie Xinghe's body, to the point where he could immediately tell where its real body was.

The difference in his eyes restricted Nie Xinghe's movements, so Nie Xinghe decided to close his left eye. Feng Lian was indeed a high IQ spirit beast, he had been hiding in the corner of Nie Xinghe's sight the entire time.

A few minutes later, Nie Xinghe was defeated again.

"There's no need to rush. There's still quite a few days left. Back then, it took me over ten days just to catch this fellow."

Lu Qiluo walked towards the exhausted Nie Xinghe and said with a rather proud tone.

"When you captured it, it was all for the sake of making it your Invigorated Meridian Beast?"

After a spirit beast was defeated, they would either sign a contract to become a spirit beast or die. Most spirit beasts would choose the former.

However, there were some spirit beasts that were used as food because of their delicious meat. Very few people would make a contract with a spirit beast like that, and the Wind Riding Centipede was a high level food, comparable in value to the Armature Sharks that were used to make fried shark bones.

Lu Qiluo took a deep breath and said: "Of course not, the reason why I caught it at the beginning was just to eat it. I failed many times, but this guy was always wandering around the same place, and after a long time, he didn't leave. I think it's strange, because flying squirrels normally don't stay at the same place for too long, they have high intelligence and never stay in the same place for long. It turned out later that he was taking care of his other injured companion. "
