Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Second-rate Mid-level Leg Method (Seeking Subscriptions)
As their eyes met, Xia Yunxi’s face turned ten times redder. She quickly looked away and after a while, she whispered, "After I take my own life, can you bury me here?"
"No."
Xia Yunxi’s shoulders shook as she turned her body, she said, "You are so heartless, even a simple request like this, you won’t agree."
"Why should I help you? What exactly is my relationship with you?"
Shi Xiaole casually said, leaning against a tree trunk.
"You!"
Xia Yunxi turned around, her stunning face filled with bitterness, her beautiful eyes sparkled with a rare fury.
"Don’t worry, I won’t talk about what happened earlier, even though I was the one at a loss."
Shi Xiaole looked up at the moon.
Earlier, he hadn’t done anything excessive. He had simply led Xia Yunxi using the Soul Transfer Great Method, making her believe that something had happened between them.
In fact, during the whole process, Xia Yunxi released the power of the drug on her own. Of course, the process was shocking enough to be unforgettable for anyone who saw it.
Hearing Shi Xiaole’s words, Xia Yunxi was so angry that she was shivering. Yet he was acting like the victim. Despite she having suffered more, he even generously offered to forget the past?
"Put your clothes on first so you won’t catch a cold. Of course, if you don’t want them, I’ll take them back."
Shi Xiaole pretended to stand up.
Still locked in her rage, Xia Yunxi quickly took a step back, clutching the dress tightly with her fair hands. This scene was as if a weak girl was pleading for the last of her dignity after being bullied by a rogue.
Shi Xiaole turned his back with a bitter smile. Shortly after, rustling sounds were heard, and then Xia Yunxi, wearing the same green dress, sat across the campfire.
Due to her curvaceous figure, the dress did not seem oversized on her. Instead, it added a peculiar sense of beauty to Xia Yunxi with her skin as white as snow and hair scattered across her shoulders.
As Xia Yunxi stole glances at Shi Xiaole, she suddenly realized that his despicable words were probably intended to distract her emotions and deter her from taking extreme measures.
Upon thinking of this, she felt a little comforted.
After the meat on the fire was cooked, Shi Xiaole tore off half of it, put it in front of Xia Yunxi regardless of whether she would accept it or not. After he finished eating, he continued to meditate quietly, practicing his internal power.
They spent the night without a word.
They didn’t interact much.
In Xia Yunxi’s view, Shi Xiaole paid less attention to her than he did to his martial arts training. Only during meal times would he take the initiative to call her and talk to her.
Recalling that she could not sever her relationship with Shi Xiaole and yet he was such an ungrateful person, Xia Yunxi couldn’t help but feel sadness welling up within her.
All her past pleasant fantasies shattered in front of the harsh reality.
For this merciless man, even if she was under the influence of the drug, she had intimate contact with him. As a man, couldn’t he even have the decency to pretend to comfort her?
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
"My internal power has reached its limit and cannot progress any further. Unfortunately, I’m afraid I still can’t handle that giant snake."
The most terrifying thing about the speckled giant snake is its powerful body. With Shi Xiaole’s most powerful Death Claiming Fifteen Sword Strikes, he would have to strike at the same location dozens of times to possibly kill it.
But with Shi Xiaole’s internal power, he could only execute a few Death Claiming Fifteen Sword Strikes at one time.
Over these days, Shi Xiaole had also visited the Cold Pool nearby, but that beast seemed to deliberately avoid him. Each time, it left the Cold Pool at different time intervals, making it impossible for him to discern a pattern.
"I absolutely cannot give up on what’s inside the Cold Pool. Let’s see if a miracle will happen today."
From the first time he entered the Great Cold State and drew the Silver Bull Horn until now, it had been nearly 20 months. All these free draws, none of them were satisfactory.
Looking at the probability, wouldn’t it be time for luck to turn around in tonight’s draw?
The rectangular light moved unpredictably among the five levels of the Martial God Hall. If Shi Xiaole drew a dud this time, he would still take the risk and explore the Cold Pool even if he were no match for the speckled giant snake.
He couldn’t possibly stick around for a few months, right? Besides, he might not be able to break through his realm and enhance his strength after a few months. It would be just as wasteful of time.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host. You’ve drawn a second-rate middle-tier leg technique, Nie Feng’s Wind God Leg."
As the voice echoed, Shi Xiaole’s heart surged, a long-lost joy appeared on his face.
Finally!
Since a long time ago, his lightness skill had become his glaring weakness.
Unfortunately, a second-rate low-tier lightness skill was already quite rare. A second-rate middle-tier lightness skill was not weaker in value than a second-rate high-tier martial art, and even rarer than a second-rate high-tier martial art.
Even if you look at all the top-class sects in Great Cold State, there are only a few sets that are treated as top secrets by the sects that own them.
It can be said that a second-rate, middle-tier lightness skill is very important to a high-level warrior at the Spiritual-Passage Realm.
After all, in a fight between masters, the one with the faster lightness skill possessed the initiative to advance and retreat. Not only would their attacks be more unpredictable and harsh, but they could also escape if they cannot win, thereby increasing their survival rate.
What excited Shi Xiaole the most was the fact that the Wind God Leg was undoubtedly one of the top-tier martial arts in the second-rate category.
It is not just a simple lightness skill, apart from speed and variation, the Wind God Leg was also a strike technique with exceptional attack power.
Back in the day, Nie Feng had dominated the Martial World relying on this leg technique and was revered as the ’God of Wind’ by everyone in the Martial World.
After thoroughly memorizing the mnemonic chant for the Wind God Leg technique, Shi Xiaole began to practice it that night.
"Huh?"
Propping up her cheek, Xia Yunxi sat not far away, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed.
In the past evenings, Shi Xiaole would sometimes practice his internal power, and sometimes his sword techniques, but she had never seen him practice leg techniques. The strangest thing was that he looked rather clumsy, as if he had just received this martial arts technique.
The complete Wind God Leg technique consists of seven movements in all, but the Martial God Hall’s former champion, to guard against the Wind Realm, intentionally taught only six movements, so what Shi Xiaole had learned were also six.
But it didn’t matter. The first six techniques of the Wind God Leg were enough for Shi Xiaole to use for a long time.
Time was forgotten on the deserted island.
Half a month passed in a flash.
With Shi Xiaole’s great comprehension, coupled with the influence of his 60 percent Wind Intent Realm, by this day, he had practiced the Wind God Leg technique to near perfection.
Every morning and evening, birds and beasts in the dense forest would always see a figure streaking past like the wind. Its speed was so fast it already exceeded their visual ability.
In the first month of obtaining the Wind God Leg technique, Shi Xiaole had practiced the Wind God Leg to the point of perfection. At this moment, when he ran at full speed, he was a full 50 percent faster than before!
The most frightening thing was that, in the process of comprehending the Wind God Leg technique, Shi Xiaole’s Wind Intent Realm had transformed, from 60 percent to 75 percent.
With 75 percent of the Wind Intent Realm added to the Wind God Leg technique, Shi Xiaole really seemed to be walking on air. For a distance of a hundred meters, he didn’t even need to blink!
If he were to fight with the Shi Xiaole from a month ago, he was confident that he could easily kill the latter.
It could be said that in just one month, Shi Xiaole’s internal power, sword intent, and spiritual power seemed to have not increased, but his actual combat power had improved a lot.
That night, when Shi Xiaole returned to his usual resting place, he found that Xia Yunxi was not around.
Has she left?
Shi Xiaole had a complex relationship towards Xia Yunxi.
Her appearance, figure, temperament, and even martial arts talent were at least in the top three of all the women he had ever met. Few men in the world could resist her charms.
Shi Xiaole could never forget the warmth and greetings Xia Yunxi gave him when she mistakenly identified him as a poor man suffering from autism.
For a woman, having such an intimate relationship with a man and being treated so coldly by him afterwards, the sadness in her heart could be imagined.
With a soft heart, Shi Xiaole took off into flight.
Xia Yunxi was walking through the dense forest, not out of desperation to leave, but because Shi Xiaole had not yet returned and she was hungry. So, she decided to go out and hunt for some game.
She had also figured it out. Although she had already lost her virginity, and no one would want her in the future, what did it matter? Worst case, she left to live the rest of her life alone.
As Xia Yunxi, she wouldn’t stoop so low as to depend on a man to survive.
While thinking this, there was a shaking sound on the ground ahead, and soon dust was flying all over the place. A huge snake head emerged from the forest, its cruel eyes staring coldly at her.
During the time that Gao Fei was killed, Xia Yunxi had fallen forward on the ground. Because she was not fully conscious, she didn’t understand the situation at the scene completely, which led to her misjudging things and missing the best chance to escape.
Opening its huge mouth, the spotted snake moved like an arrow, biting towards Xia Yunxi.
"Heartfire Sword!"
In the crisis of life and death, Xia Yunxi made a sword with her arm, unleashing a sword Qi with sparks. The 60 percent Heart Intent caused the spotted snake to hesitate and the sword Qi hit it, only causing the scales to slightly dent.
Xia Yunxi’s heart sank, and she hastily tried to escape using her internal power.
She instinctively wanted to flee to the south, but remembered that Shi Xiaole should have already returned to his resting place. Although the man was unrighteous, she didn’t need to drag him down with her.
"Forget it, forget it. I can’t escape death, why harm others? That ruthless thief probably will never know where I died."
With a sorrowful smile on her face, Xia Yunxi ran away to the north, continuously casting the Heartfire Sword six times along the way to narrowly dodge the spotted snake’s attack.
Hiss!
The spotted snake was furious, its huge tail whipped out fiercely, causing a large number of trees to break and fly. The ferocious wind swept over, making Xia Yunxi’s vision go white, and her already dwindling internal power scattered even more.
The spotted snake opened its mouth to bite, Xia Yunxi could even smell the nauseating stench from the snake’s mouth.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the moment her life ended.
Bang!
From afar, it seemed like a wild wind was coming.
The next moment, Xia Yunxi found herself in someone’s arms, an aggressive and familiar scent filled her nostrils.
"You!"
Xia Yunxi looked at the man in the green robe in front of her in astonishment.
Shi Xiaole smiled and said, "You ran so far, it was hard to find you."
"Watch out!"
From the corner of her eye, Xia Yunxi saw the spotted snake straighten its body, and then it shot out at high speed. Its hideous snakemouth wide open, it spurted out a sky full of white liquid.
With such proximity and the suddenness of it all, even a sixth or seventh-level Spiritual-Passage Realm master here would not be able to dodge. They were destined to die together.
With a faint smile, Shi Xiaole retreated, and the scenery in front of him retreated like a fuzzy illusion. Xia Yunxi was horrified to find that they were already a hundred meters away, while the spotted snake looked at them in astonishment.
