I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 555

Chapter 555: Immortality and Indestructibility, Joining Forces to Fight the Enemy

Lu Qing hadn’t spoken yet in response to Old Man Qiao’s question.

The previously silent middle-aged man suddenly said, “My cultivation is shallow, and I’m not capable of crossing the Windy Plains alone. Let’s return together.”

Lu Qing whispered, “Me too. That monster just now was clearly a Jindan-level demon beast. I’m no match for it.”

“In that case, let’s return together so we can look after each other.”

Old Man Qiao smiled slightly upon hearing this.

If he were alone, he wouldn’t have been too apprehensive about the Windy Plains.

But now that he had two children with him, he felt a little more cautious.

It wouldn’t be easy to cross the Windy Plains rashly.

The middle-aged man and Lu Qing decided to return together, at least having two more Jindan-level cultivators to look after them.

Meanwhile, the armored man saw the thin young man and the woman in red suddenly leave. Though upset, he felt helpless.

There was nothing he could do. These Jindan-level cultivators weren’t employed by their shipping company.

If they wanted to leave, he couldn’t stop them.

Fortunately, Old Man Qiao, Lu Qing, and the other two ultimately chose to return together.

Otherwise, he truly lacked confidence in leading these people back to the valley safely.

Ever since he’d seen the Jindan-level wind beast, the armored man had already known

something must have happened within the Gale Plains.

Otherwise, a Jindan-level wind beast wouldn’t have appeared in this marginal area.

Furthermore, he had a nagging feeling that something within the endless dust and sand seemed to be lurking around their convoy.

So, even if they chose to return now, he still felt a sense of unease.

He had a premonition that the return journey wouldn’t be smooth.

As the armored man pondered this, a sudden jolt struck him, and he jerked his head upwards.

He saw three monstrous wind beasts converge ahead, suddenly lunging towards them.

This sudden change caused everyone to cry out in alarm.

These three wind beasts, in particular, were each at the Jindan level, towering over ten feet tall.

Three beasts charged at them simultaneously, their murderous aura, almost condensed into a physical form, overwhelming them.

Those with weaker cultivation were instantly terrified, their spirits chilled and their bodies stiffened, barely able to move.

“A mere wind beast, how dare you be so presumptuous! Form a formation!”

The armored man’s gaze shone coldly. The magical spear in his hand instantly transformed into a roaring dragon, hurling itself at one of the wind beasts.

Simultaneously, a companion beside him, also at the Jindan realm, summoned a precious sword, slashing with a massive golden blade energy to meet the other wind beast.

The remaining carrier company guards formed a mysterious battle formation, uniting their efforts to form a giant mana bear, which pounced on the final wind beast.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The extraordinary power of the dragon and blade energy instantly shattered two of the wind beasts.

The final wind beast, too, was attacked by the giant mana bear condensed by the guards’ formation.

It lasted only a few breaths before shattering and disintegrating into a cloud of sand.

In an instant, the wind beast, so ferocious just moments ago, like an ancient beast, was shattered.

But before anyone could rejoice, the next moment, the sand and wind gathered.

The three wind beasts that had been scattered reunited and continued to charge.

“No matter how many times you can be reborn, I will kill you!”

The armored man Leng Ning, seemingly anticipating this, formed a magical formula in his hand. The raging dragon transformed from his spear roared and shattered another wind beast.

His sword-wielding companions and guards also summoned their magical powers to attack the other two wind beasts.

However, at this moment, two more roars echoed from behind.

Two equally massive wind beasts appeared from the rear of the convoy and pounced.

“How could so many Jindan-level wind beasts appear here?”

The armored man’s face darkened upon seeing this.

He’d already found the appearance of Jindan-level wind beasts in this marginal area strange.

Now, with the sudden appearance of five, a terrifying hypothesis suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that these wind beasts were being controlled by some sort of entity?

Otherwise, why would the normally low-intelligence wind beasts attack them so cohesively?

And their movements were quite methodical, mastering the art of combining attacks from both front and back?

But how could this be possible?

Though the wind beasts were low in intelligence, their inherent ferocity was immensely fierce. What being could possibly suppress their ferocity and subjugate them?

Numerous thoughts flashed through the armored man’s mind.

But as the two wind beasts behind him approached the convoy, he couldn’t afford to dwell on them. He

simply shouted, “Master Qiao, I’ll leave this to you!”

The convoy behind, though also illuminated by the fixed wind lanterns,

was undoubtedly no match for the attacks of two Jindan-level wind beasts. Stretched to the limit, the armored man turned to Lu Qing and the others for help.

“My two fellow Daoists, it seems we have to contribute as well!”

Upon hearing the armored man’s roar, Old Man Qiao immediately summoned his iron ruler magic weapon, which suddenly expanded in size, emitting a precious light, and struck one of the wind beasts.

Lu Qing and the taciturn middle-aged man were not slow to act, and similarly summoned their magic weapons to attack the other wind beast.

The middle-aged man’s magic weapon was a black iron rod. Unleashed, it lashed out like a raging black dragon, lashing out at the wind beast.

Lu Qing summoned a flying sword.

The sword light fragmented, revealing equally powerful power. It transformed into a cascade of sword beams, shattering one of the wind beast’s arms and half its body.

“This young man’s sword control is truly remarkable. Could he also be a sword cultivator?”

Old Man Qiao, possessing profound cultivation, observed Lu Qing and the middle-aged man despite facing a wind beast alone.

He was slightly surprised to see Lu Qing’s flying sword destroy half of the wind beast’s body with a single strike.

Lu Qing’s cultivation level was only at the first level, a low-grade Jindan.

Meanwhile, several of the wind beasts were at least at the second or third level.

Lu Qing had been able to destroy half of one of them with a single strike.

This level of attack power was rarely matched by any cultivator besides sword cultivators.

The middle-aged man was also shocked when he saw this scene.

He didn’t expect that Lu Qing, an ordinary guy with the lowest cultivation among them,

would be so fierce when he did attack.

However, the middle-aged man’s reaction was also very fast. When he saw the wind beast showing a flaw, his eyes immediately focused.

The black iron stick turned into a black dragon, and its power suddenly increased, smashing the other side of the wind beast’s body.

“Haha, good! Very good!”

The armored man in front of the convoy sensed this scene and immediately cheered up.

Originally, he was worried that Old Man Qiao and his men could not stop the two wind beasts behind. In

that case, most of them would be killed here under the attack from both sides.

Now that Old Man Qiao and his men can stop it, they still have hope.

Immediately, the armored man ordered: “Let’s set off and head towards the valley. Everyone, follow and don’t fall behind, otherwise you will lose your life!”

Then he shouted: “Mr. Qiao, you guys hold on from the back. The wind beasts can’t leave the Gale Plain. As long as we return to the valley, we will be safe!”

After that, the armored man activated the wind lamp that had been hanging at the front of the convoy, separated the strong wind in front, and slowly moved forward.

Seeing this, the small caravan behind hurried to catch up, fearing that if they fell behind, they would be swallowed by the endless sandstorm and shattered by the terrifying wind beasts.

The entire caravan was on the move again, slowly approaching the valley.

All the while, the five wind beasts relentlessly attacked the caravan.

No matter how many times they were blasted apart, they would recondense and charge towards the caravan with undiminished power.

Their eerie, immortal appearances terrified everyone.

Fortunately, only five wind beasts had condensed in the endless sandstorm.

If just one more had appeared, they would have perished.

Boom!

After blasting the wind beasts apart once more, they recondensed in a fraction of a second. Lu Qing frowned.

“Old Man Qiao, this isn’t a solution.

These wind beasts are impossible to kill. They keep attacking like this.

I’m afraid we’ll run out of mana before we even reach the valley.

With all your experience, don’t you know how to completely slay these wind beasts?”

“The wind beasts are indestructible.”

Old Man Qiao shook his head, activating his iron ruler magic weapon and smashing the wind beast’s head.

“The wind beasts’ power originates from this Gale Plain, bred in the Nether Wind Tunnel deep within it.

Even if we can completely defeat them, they’ll soon be reborn from the Nether Wind Tunnel.

This is why the Gale Plain exists.

Otherwise, if the wind beasts could be slain, some sect would have already razed the Gale Plain.”

“They can’t be killed, but they can be defeated, allowing them to be reborn in the Nether Wind Tunnel?” Lu Qing keenly grasped Old Man Qiao’s words. “Then how can we completely defeat these wind beasts?”

“That’s also extremely difficult,”

Old Man Qiao sighed. “It’s said that these wind beasts contain a wind bead within their bodies, their core.

But this wind bead is condensed from the laws of wind, capable of gathering and dispersing invisibly.

Once the wind beasts are dispersed, their wind bead will dissipate along with their bodies.

Only by

concentrating our power to destroy the wind bead in the split second when the wind beast’s body disintegrates and the wind bead has too little time to completely dissipate can we completely defeat the wind beasts.

Without the wind bead, the wind beast’s true spirit can only return to the Netherworld Wind Cavern.

Only after re-condensing the wind bead can it be reborn.

But even blasting these wind beasts apart now is difficult enough.

Seizing that fleeting opportunity to destroy the wind bead condensed from the laws of wind is even more difficult.

I’m afraid only a late-stage Jindan cultivator who has condensed a top-grade Jindan can do it.” The middle-

aged man beside him shook his head upon hearing this.

A late-stage Jindan cultivator who has condensed a top-grade Jindan is a powerful figure that everyone here looks up to.

They were absolutely incapable of accomplishing something that required a master of that caliber.

However, after hearing what Old Man Qiao had said, Lu Qing became thoughtful.

Old Man Qiao had been observing Lu Qing’s expression.

After all, he had always felt that this young Taoist friend was somewhat mysterious.

Seeing him like this, something struck him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have a solution, Taoist friend?”

“I do have an idea,”

Lu Qing said without hesitation. After defeating the condensed wind beast once again,

he said directly, “I have a sword technique that can unleash incredible power.

Wait until I’m done brewing it. Old Man Qiao, you can use all your strength to blast a wind beast to pieces.

I’ll see if I can seize that opportunity and temporarily kill a wind beast.”

“Young man, can you really do it?”

Old Man Qiao asked hurriedly, startled.

The middle-aged man beside him also looked at Lu Qing with a startled expression.

“We have to give it a try. Otherwise, at our current speed, our mana won’t last long before we even reach the valley.”

Old Man Qiao fell silent.

He understood that Lu Qing was telling the truth.

They had previously entered the Wind Plains when the gale subsided.

Back then, their speed was far superior to today’s.

Therefore, the time it would take them to return to the valley would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

With the way these wind beasts were fighting, their mana wouldn’t last that long.

“Alright!”

After thinking this through, Old Man Qiao gritted his teeth and nodded immediately.

“Since you’re so confident, fellow Daoist, I’ll cooperate with you!”

“Fellow Daoist Shi, I need to cultivate my sword energy. You’ll have to hold off this wind beast for now,”

Lu Qing said to the middle-aged man.

“Don’t worry. While I’m no match for this wind beast, I can still manage to keep it engaged!”

the middle-aged man chuckled.

His face was no longer the silent and gloomy look he had always worn.

Seeing this, Lu Qing no longer hesitated and flew onto a carriage.

He retracted his flying sword, hovering it in front of him, and began to focus his sword energy.

Meanwhile, Old Man Qiao and the middle-aged man continued to fend off the two wind beasts.

Especially the middle-aged man. The black dragon transformed from the black stick magic weapon stopped its violent bombardment and turned to a defensive position.

The black dragon spun around, encircling the wind beast and blocking it from approaching the convoy.

However, while the two men were doing their best to resist the wind beast, they still spared a bit of their attention to observe Lu Qing’s movements.

Then they saw that as Lu Qing gathered his strength.

The flying sword floating in front of him began to emit a ray of sword light.

The sword intent emanating from the sword made everyone around them feel like a thorn in their backs, and a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.

“This sword intent!”

Old man Qiao and the middle-aged man felt the sword intent emanating from the flying sword, and their eyes suddenly widened.

The sword intent condensed by Lu Qing made even them feel creepy.

This meant that this sword intent had a terrifying power that threatened their lives.

Just as Old Man Qiao and the other two were stunned, Lu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, “Old Man Qiao!”

Without hesitation, Old Man Qiao radiated his magical power, and the iron ruler radiated a sudden surge of light, its power greatly increased.

With a single stroke, he blew a wind beast apart.

Just as the wind beast was about to dissipate, Lu Qing’s flying sword suddenly flew out.

With unimaginable speed, it pierced a certain point within the wind beast’s body!
