Chapter 101: Lightning Movement
The 100 feet large black phoenix let out a sharp screech and a huge ball of Everlasting Hell Flames appeared in the beak of the black phoenix. The size of the black flames was around the same as Xiao Fei’s body size, 100 feet.
The cultivators chasing after Tang Yin with the intention of turning him into their cultivation furnace were routed to the spot in shock due to Xiao Fei’s appearance. They did not have time to even dodge as Xiao Fei launched the black flames at them.
The ball of Everlasting Hell Flames instantly incinerated all of the cultivators, not even their ashes remained. A weak bolt of lightning retreated in terror from the periphery of the black flames.
The Spirit Vein Condensation Realm middle-aged man had managed to react quickly and get as far away as he could when Xiao Fei launched her flames. However, the Everlasting Hell Flames were too fast, he could not dodge all of it in time.
Half of the middle-aged man’s body was charred. There was a black broadsword in his hand, it was his Martial Spirit. There were dense cracks in the broadsword. The broadsword was too damaged, it did not last long before shattering into pieces and disintegrating.
Upon having his Martial Spirit destroyed, the middle-aged man coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. His speed decreased by a large amount from the additional damage caused by the destroyed Martial Spirit.
"I want his corpse and storage ring." Tang Yin said to Xiao Fei, a huge storm was raging in his heart. Although he knew Xiao Fei had gotten much stronger after her evolution, it still left him shocked when he witnessed her power in person.
Xiao Fei chirped, she shrank into a small ball of Everlasting Hell Flames which morphed her back into a little human girl. She turned into a long blackish-red arc to pursue the middle-aged man.
A few moments later, Xiao Fei returned. In her hands was a burnt corpse, it was unrecognizable from the previous middle-aged man.
Xiao Fei threw the charred corpse before Tang Yin.
Tang Yin crouched down, he touched the forehead of the middle-aged man to use Soul Plunder. After searching his memories and stealing a little of his lifespan, he took a shiny silver ring off the corpse’s finger.
Tang Yin needed a movement-type Martial Skill which was strong and did not consume a lot of Abyss Qi. The movement-type Martial Skill displayed by the middle-aged man had caught Tang Yin’s eye.
After using the Soul Plunder, Tang Yin devoured the charred corpse of the middle-aged man. Ecstasy appeared in his eyes, this was the first Spirit Vein Condensation Realm cultivator Tang Yin had devoured.
Tang Yin’s cultivation increased by a large amount from devouring the middle-aged man. ’It’s a pity, if his Martial Spirit was not destroyed by Xiao Fei, the benefits would be even greater.’ Tang Yin thought in disappointment.
Tang Yin possessed plenty of Abyss Qi within his Martial Spirit from a large amount of Low-grade Spirit Stones he had devoured, not to mention the Demonic Beasts he had killed on his way to Treasure Bank City. Even after breaking through to the 8th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm, he would not be too far away from the 9th stage.
Tang Yin looked at the shiny silver storage ring he took from the middle-aged man. He sent a thought into it and a large amount of Spirit Stones of various grades spilled out. Xiao Fei looked at the Spirit Stones with a strong light in her eyes.
Tang Yin stored all of the Spirit Stones in his Navy Mountain Ring, with the exception of a High-grade Spirit Stone. He gave it to Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei took the Spirit Stone with sparkling eyes, she swallowed it immediately.
Next, Tang Yin transferred the items with value into his own storage ring. A book was left in his hand. ’Lightning Movement’ Tang Yin looked at the name of the book.
Tang Yin opened the book and skimmed through it, the excitement and expectation within his heart grew the more he read.
A while later, Tang Yin closed the book. There was a contemplative expression on his face.
The Lightning Movement was a High-rank Tier 7 Martial Skill, it was a sub-rank higher than the Gale Step Martial Skill.
The Lightning Movement had 2 styles. The first style was called Black Zoom and the second style was named Red Flash. One had to master Black Zoom before being able to practice and eventually master Red Flash.
Black Zoom allowed a cultivator to increase their speed by 10x as long as it had a supply of Qi. Black Zoom would deactivate as soon as the supply of Qi was cut off.
Red Flash was very similar to Gale Step. It allowed the user to move 20x their normal speed for an instant, the amount of Qi consumed during each use of Red Flash was a fixed amount.
Overall, Lightning Movement was very practical and provided a larger variety of options and freedom to a cultivator. It was much stronger and more valuable compared to Gale Step. It could be considered the movement type Martial Skill Tang Yin had been searching for.
