Battle Through the Heavens (Vol.1)

Chapter 138: Joint Operation

As the sun stood at the apex of the sky, Xiao Yan looked up to gaze at the graceful and slender figure that stood atop a huge rock. From the horizon, sunshine poured out, spilling itself onto the figure and adding a faint layer of radiance to the already glorious spectacle.

At present, Yun Zhi's appearance looked similar to when she had battled with the Amethyst Winged Lion while Xiao Yan had hidden to one side and watched; filled with grace and nobleness. The haughtiness from her pure and cold demeanor had a way to cause others to feel ashamed of their inferiority.

As if sensing Xiao Yan's gaze, Yun Zhi unhurriedly turned around and lightly raised her eyes to meet the gaze of the pitch-black pair of eyes. Soon after, she quickly turned them away and informed him in a dull tone, "I will let you possess a Dou Master level of power for a short period of time and since I am of the wind attribute, your speed will be amplified quite a bit. If any Magic Beast tries to obstruct you, try your best not to fight it or else the sounds of battle will draw even more Magic Beasts to you. If that happens, I'm afraid you will......" At this point, Yun Zhi suddenly stopped and slightly turning her head, she stared at Xiao Yan.

"En." Eyelids droopy, it seemed that Xiao Yan did not hear the implication within Yun Zhi's words that she had accidentally let out, he only slightly nodded his head.

Gazing at the look of serenity on Xiao Yan's face that surpassed even her own, without knowing why, Yun Zhi's eyebrows slightly knitted together. A short while later, she floated down the huge rock, appearing at Xiao Yan's side and then softly asked, "Shall we start?"

"Okay."

Seeing Xiao Yan's nod, Yun Zhi's jade-like hands slowly stretched forward before lightly pressing against Xiao Yan's back. With a light tap of her fingers, a turbulent Dou Qi energy ferociously poured into Xiao Yan and instead of rebelling due to the foreignness of the body, the Dou Qi meekly flowed through Xiao Yan's channels under the control of Yun Zhi's will.

The flow of this vigorous Dou Qi caused Xiao Yan's body to feel an unprecedented amount of power. Slightly twisting his body, as if he had been reborn, the bones all throughout his body continuously emitted cracking sounds.

Tightly clenching his fist, a curious look appeared on Xiao Yan's face; was this the power of a Dou Master? As expected, it can't be compared to that of a Dou Practitioner's.

Casually bouncing on his soles, Xiao Yan found that his body seemed to be much more agile than before, Evidently, this should be due to the Wind Attribute Dou Qi within his body, no wonder those Dou Practitioner's who practiced Wind Attribute Qi Techniques were so fast and nimble.

"This Dou Qi is enough to last you for two hours. During these two hours, you need to retrieve the Purple Spirit Crystal from the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion." Yun Zhi softly reminded, "I will do my best to stall it but you still need to watch the time; that brute's intelligence is in no way inferior to that of a human's. If by chance he realizes something, I'm afraid that there will not be any more chances next time."

"Okay, shall we leave?" Xiao Yan nodded as he fixed his eyes on the soul-stirring complexion of the person beside him and then smiled.

"Yes." Yun Zhi slightly inclined her head and with a slight jolt, a pair of green colored wings of energy slowly sprouted from her back. Yet when she lifted her head to look at Xiao Yan's action, she was stunned. Though soon after a captivating redness appeared on her good-looking face, humiliated and angry, she chided, "What are you doing?"

Currently in an hugging posture, Xiao Yan's eyes widened when he heard Yun Zhi's question. Extremely amazed, he retorted, "With such a long distance, you could not possibly leave me to run there by myself right? If by chance I encounter a rank four or five Magic Beast, won't my journey prematurely end?"
