Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 330 Purple Shadow Lion

The half-hour break after lunch passed quickly. Huo Yuhao and the others finally recovered to their peak condition and stood up at the same time.

Wu Xuan and his group officially entered the continent's largest gathering place for soul beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest.

The lowest-ranking beasts the group hunted were ten-thousand-year soul beasts. They needed to go to the mixed area or even the core area to find suitable ones, so they just passed by the people in the outer area.

Led by Zhang Lexuan and Wu Xuan, and with Wu Xuan's breath perception, the group had no intention of carefully exploring at all. They simply moved forward at full speed. Wherever they passed, the bushes on the ground opened up a path by themselves. The aura emitted by the two Soul Douluos made low-level soul beasts dare not get close at all.

This was strength, relying on strength to force their way forward. Every hour of full speed, they rested for a quarter of an hour. As the sky gradually darkened, they had already passed the outer area and began to enter the mixed zone.

Zhang Lexuan raised her hand to stop the group. The group slowly slowed down their pace. After entering the mixed zone, the majority of soul beasts they faced were at least four or five thousand years old, so they could no longer rush in disorganized.

Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and said, "Now, let me briefly arrange the formation for the mixed zone. Wu Xuan and I will lead the way. Li Yongyue and Wang Qiuer will be in charge of the left and right wings respectively. Huo Yuhao, you will be in the center. Mo Xuan, you will be behind Huo Yuhao and coordinate with everyone else's movements. Wang Donger, you will be responsible for keeping watch beside them. Dean Cai will cover our rear."

Everyone agreed with what he said.

Cai Meir and Wu Xuan knew that Old Song was accompanying the soul hunt, and even Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was not very clear about it.

With the breath sensing activated and Wu Xuan's deliberate guidance in front, the group did not encounter any soul beasts blocking the way along the way.

While the other Shrek students hadn't noticed anything, Wang Qiu'er, standing nearby, was already experiencing a wave of inner turmoil. Only she, a spirit beast, understood that the journey had been far too peaceful, almost unnaturally so.

Just after everyone had gone dozens of miles into the mixed zone, Wu Xuan, who was at the front, waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Wu, have you found anything?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"Well, there is a ten-thousand-year-old lion-type soul beast about eight or nine hundred meters ahead. It seems to be a purple shadow lion. Does anyone of you need this soul ring?" Wu Xuan turned his head and looked at everyone.

"Purple Shadow Lion? Wu Xuan, how many tens of thousands of years old is it exactly?" Li Yongyue's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the word Purple Shadow Lion. Even a Purple Shadow Lion that had just broken through ten thousand years old was already an absolute top-notch one for him!
The Purple Shadow Lion is a rare speed-type lion-type soul beast. The attack cutting power brought by its speed is rarely matched by soul beasts of the same level. It is exactly the soul beast he desires and is a perfect match for the martial soul Moon Blade.

"We'll have to wait and see to know the exact years! It's too far away and I can't estimate it for sure." Wu Xuan shook his head.

"Then Junior Brother Wu, please lead the way. Let's go and see how old this purple shadow lion is!" said Zhang Lexuan.

"Okay! Then follow me." Wu Xuan nodded, then went to the front left.

"Roar——" A deafening roar sounded in the distance, the sound was like muffled thunder, fluctuating violently.

Soon, a purple figure appeared in everyone's sight.

This was a lion covered in purple fur. Compared to other lion-like spirit beasts, its stature was quite petite. It was only about 1.5 meters long. Its shoulder height was about 60 to 70 centimeters, but its purple mane was very beautiful. Its fur was a glossy purple. It also emitted a faint purple light. Its large tail swung constantly behind it.

"With nineteen thousand years of cultivation, you are quite lucky, Li Yongyue." Zhang Lexuan saw through the Purple Shadow Lion's true strength and congratulated him.

Li Yongyue danced with excitement when she heard this.

"Since you're sure, I'll make my move." As he spoke, the inky black second ring around Wu Xuan suddenly lit up. "Light Spirit Wind!" Wu Xuan muttered, and the next moment, his entire figure vanished into thin air.

"Roar!" The purple shadow lion roared and rushed towards Wu Xuan in a flash. Its speed was almost the same as Wu Xuan's. In the blink of an eye, it left a long trail of phantoms behind it.

The Purple Shadow Lion raised its front paws and slapped Wu Xuan's chest. However, the next second, the Purple Shadow Lion was stunned. Wu Xuan in front of it suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The Purple Shadow Lion was indeed fast. When it realized something was wrong, it turned and ran. However, no matter how fast it was, it couldn't outrun Wu Xuan, who had already attacked! Just as he leaped out, a slap landed accurately on the Purple Shadow Lion's forehead. The terrifying force sent it flying, knocking down countless trees before finally collapsing on the ground.

"Kacha~!" Li Yongyue couldn't help swallowing his saliva. This martial arts student's fighting style was a bit barbaric!

"Li Yongyue, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take action. If you delay any longer, the Purple Shadow Lion will die." Mo Xuan reminded from the side.

Wu Xuan's slap was so powerful that even Cai Meir, who was watching the fight, was shocked.

Li Yongyue trotted forward upon hearing this, looked at Wu Xuan standing beside him and clasped his fists. "Thank you very much, Wu Xuan. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"

"No big deal! Go and absorb the spirit ring." Wu Xuan waved his hand lightly.

Li Yongyue nodded heavily, and then impatiently released his martial soul moon blade, ending the life of the purple shadow lion.

The inky black ten thousand year soul ring rose from the corpse of the Purple Shadow Lion. Li Yongyue sat down cross-legged under the tree trunk without hesitation, and used his soul power to guide the soul ring to merge with himself.

Everyone came forward and surrounded him to protect him.

"Brother Wu, the soul hunting operation is so easy with you following us. It hasn't been long since we encountered a suitable soul beast. Why don't I leave the subsequent command to you." Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, looking at Wu Xuan, feeling very emotional.

"Senior Sister, you have invisibly increased the workload for me several times." Wu Xuan shook his head helplessly, but did not refuse.

"Those who are capable should do more work! Thank you for your hard work, junior. Our subsequent spirit rings depend on you." Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Wang Qiuer could no longer suppress her doubts and asked the question in her heart:
"How did you know the location of the Purple Shadow Lion in advance? And you were able to lead us to find him accurately?"

It was very impolite of Wang Qiuer to ask about the background of a strange soul master so directly. It would be fine even if Wu Xuan ignored her.

"This is the innate soul skill of my martial soul, the breath perception, coupled with my powerful mental power, I can naturally search for the required soul beast from a long distance." Wu Xuan did not refuse to reply, but explained seriously.

"Strong mental power? Is it a realm of form and formlessness?" Wang Qiuer looked Wu Xuan up and down, and had already guessed the highest level.

After all, her mental power was only at this level before she transformed. The human in front of her couldn't possibly be higher than hers! Wang Qiuer thought.

Wu Xuan smiled but said nothing when he heard this, and a flash of silver light flashed across his eyes.

"Tangible and corporeal spiritual power?! You've actually reached that level!" Wang Qiu'er was horrified and took several steps back. Disbelief filled her eyes. How old was this human? How many years had they truly cultivated? Tangible and corporeal spiritual power—that was a realm even Uncle Di Tian could only dream of!
