Whoosh!

Before the tornado could reach him, the wind had already blown the kitten around unsteadily.

Even though the kitten instantly expanded to its full five-hundred-meter form, it was akin to a small boat bobbing on turbulent waves in the face of the howling wind.

"Kitten, retreat quickly!"

But in Ye Zhen’s eyes, the truly terrifying thing was the wind blade wheel spinning rapidly at the tornado’s center.

Logically, with Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body, he shouldn’t fear mere wind blades. Yet the wind blade wheel at the tornado’s center instilled a sense of instinctual dread.

The martial artist’s intuition proved extremely accurate!

In other words, the wind blade wheel at the tornado’s center could threaten Ye Zhen.

Time seemed to slow down. Ye Zhen didn’t know if the kitten could retreat, but he couldn’t possibly abandon the kitten to escape alone!

The Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Whip instantly appeared before Ye Zhen, crackling with thunder light, conjuring a Thunder Light Barrier in front of Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

But the tornado moved rapidly, and before the Thunder Light Barrier could fully consolidate, it was already shredded by the wind blade wheel embedded within the tornado.

In an instant, the violent tearing force carried by the tornado enveloped Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

Ye Zhen could even sense the wind blade wheel’s Qi Force from the tornado’s center slicing sharply against his cheeks.

With a thought, Ye Zhen immersed his divine sense into the War Soul Blood Flag.

Faced with this sudden, wide-ranging, and immensely powerful ambush, the War Soul Blood Flag was Ye Zhen’s only possible protection for himself and the kitten.

But just as Ye Zhen’s divine sense submerged into the War Soul Blood Flag, with a swoosh, the light in front of Ye Zhen shifted, and he appeared within the space passage.

In the instant of his disappearance from the sky, Ye Zhen heard a surprised "huh!"

This sound caused Ye Zhen’s expression to suddenly darken.

This definitely meant someone was deliberately mounting a sneak attack!

The problem was that Ye Zhen had spent the past half-year in the Xiansheng Water Mansion, rarely revealing himself, mostly cultivating in the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

This was Ye Zhen’s first appearance in half a year, with his route entirely chosen by him and the kitten at random. How could someone have tracked him?

The space passage couldn’t be lingered in for long; after about a breath’s duration, the kitten carried Ye Zhen out of the void, appearing high in the sky.

But now the location was at least three thousand miles away from where the ambush had occurred.

Ye Zhen seemed to have shaken off the ambusher, and now he needed to find ways to investigate this ambusher and figure out who had sent them.

Maybe it was time to call out Big Ears Nie Ting, who was cultivating within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Let him listen!

Indeed, Big Ears Nie Ting and Ling Qianbi had been sent by Ye Zhen into the Mirage Dragon Pearl for cultivation.

Originally, Ye Zhen didn’t want to display this ability in front of them.

However, Big Ears’ innate divine ability was crucially important and closely related in power to the level of cultivation.

Ling Qianbi’s All Beings Hundred Illusions Divine Ability was also extremely powerful.

Among Ye Zhen’s ranks, Ling Qianbi was the only one besides Ye Zhen who had condensed a primordial spirit, meaning she was not affected by the divine soul of Dao Realm experts.

However, her cultivation level remained insufficient.

Therefore, Ye Zhen straightforwardly allowed Ling Qianbi and Big Ears to enter the Mirage Dragon Pearl for cultivation.

Nevertheless, their cultivation sites were separately marked within the Mirage Dragon Pearl space under the control of Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, isolated from people like the Sky Wing Three Saints.

Within the Mirage Dragon Pearl space, no matter how they moved, they wouldn’t encounter anyone else.

Regarding the power of time order, Ye Zhen hadn’t explained to them, just advised them to cultivate in peace.

But just as Ye Zhen prepared to send Big Ears Nie Ting out of the Mirage Dragon Pearl space, a turbulent sound of wind and thunder suddenly echoed from the distant sky.

A streak of azure light appeared in Ye Zhen’s vision with lightning speed.

That speed was almost consummate.

"Kitten, retreat quickly!"

"Ha ha ha, boy, it seems you really have some skills. It wasn’t in vain for this Great Saint to come here!"

A piercing, sword-like sound cut through the air as it reached Ye Zhen’s ears, making them ache.

This time, the kitten reacted.

With a flap of its wings, it transformed into a streak of black light retreating toward the sea, accelerating to a speed of twenty thousand miles per two hours in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the distant piercing voice rang out again, "Trying to escape?"

"However, relying on that speed alone, it’s still not enough!"

With a cold shout, the azure shadow behind flickered suddenly, closing the distance to within thirty miles in an instant.

In merely a breath, the pursuer closed in.

And at this moment, Ye Zhen finally got a clear view of the monster before him.

A fierce azure bird with a terrifying chicken-like head and a thousand-meter body, but with wings spanning over five thousand meters generously.

This fierce bird casually flapped its wings, and instantly a terrifying tornado imbued with wind blade wheels began forming rapidly.

Ye Zhen finally understood how the previous tornado had come about and vaguely recognized the identity of this giant-winged azure bird with a chicken head.

"Strong Wind?"

Strong Wind, a true Ancient Fierce Beast!

A natural king of the winds, surpassing nine thousand miles in a single gust, that’s Strong Wind, said to sweep nine thousand miles with a flap.

And this was just the ordinary speed of Strong Wind!

In the moment of realization, Ye Zhen’s pupils contracted to the extreme!

This is the real Ancient Fierce Beast, Strong Wind!

Its bloodline was incomparably noble and strong compared to the Nine-Headed Beast of Ancient Fierce Beasts within Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl.

If Ancient Fierce Beast bloodlines are like lions and tigers, the Nine-Headed Beast within Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl was at best a stray dog, maybe not even that!

The terror of this Strong Wind was evident.

In that instant, Ye Zhen had an urgent impulse to curse.

Who was it that looked up to him so much?

Calling upon a genuine Ancient Fierce Beast, Strong Wind, to deal with him Ye Zhen!

In the instant of his muttering, the tornado swept over again, and simultaneously, the Strong Wind came barreling towards Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

In Ye Zhen’s eyes, it was no different from a giant mountain crashing over!
