Chapter Eighteen: Wind Spirit

  On the black island, there was no sign of life anywhere, only black rocks and boulders. The wind blew from nowhere, directionless, rampaging across the island like a giant axe, leaving behind huge gashes on the rocks. Yet those gashes disappeared in an extremely short time, as if they had never been damaged at all.

  At some point, the wind on the island stopped and disappeared, and the entire island became as quiet as a dead zone.

  "You all go to the island, in order to ensure that Miss can get the title, I cannot set foot on the island, Miss will be handed over to you five people, and must protect Miss Feng Ling safely return." The Silver Armor Knight said to the five people of Bai Cangdong standing on the deck.

  "Sir Argent, please be at ease. We will definitely protect Miss Shangfei with our lives." Rog said excitedly, pounding his chest in oath.

  "Alright, let's go." The Silver Knight smiled and patted Rog on the shoulder.

  Five people set foot on the Windless Island, and since it was during a time when the wind had stopped, they didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. Along the way, they encountered many rocky caves, and almost every cave was inhabited by a Wind Spirit, which they easily slaughtered directly.

  "What's with this? The wind spirits here are really weak, are they really baron-level undead? They're slow as death, their bodies are frail and pitiful, and they don't even have any attack power. They're actually weaker than ordinary undead, I think that viscount-level undead isn't anything special either, we can easily cut them down." Rog said excitedly.

  "Since these wind spirits are all solitary and hiding in their caves, why don't we head straight to the viscount-level wind spirit's cave at the center of the island and ignore those baron-level ones? This way, we can save some time and ensure that we kill that viscount-level wind spirit before the winds start again." Chen Xifeng said.

  "Sir Silver Knight specifically instructed us to kill all the Baron-level Wind Spirits first, he must have his reasons. Let's just follow Sir Silver Knight's instructions." Li Yan did not agree with Chen Xifeng's words.

  "Not bad, Sir Silver Knight must have his reasons." Rog said with a nod.

  Li Xiangfei smiled and said, "Because the Viscount-level Wind Spirit we are going to kill has the ability to summon Baron-level Wind Spirits, we must first kill all the Baron-level Wind Spirits. Otherwise, when we kill the Viscount-level Wind Spirit, we will be surrounded by all the Wind Spirits."

  "Earl-sama has really put in a lot of thought for Miss Shangfei, finding such a weak type of undead and even researching the safest way to kill her. Miss Shangfei is truly very fortunate." Chen Xifeng said with envy.

  Li Xiangfei's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, and she said softly: "Father is very good to me, this time I'm also troubling you all to come with me, I don't want to deceive you, the 'Five Departures Finger' that you are cultivating is actually for my cultivation of 'Harmony Finger', if you infuse the power of 'Five Departures Finger' into my 'Harmony Finger', I can only make a move to defeat the Viscount-level undead, and you will directly lose your strength."

  All five of them stopped and stared at Li Xiangfei, except for Bai Canghai, the others did not know that Wu Lizi was actually like this.

  Bai Cangdong was also somewhat surprised to see Li Xiangfei, he didn't think Li Xiangfei would directly say this out loud, he believed that Count Dao Lun must have thought of a plan, making the five of them eventually have no choice but to use the "Five Departure Fingers" to help Li Xiangfei.

  "Miss Xiang Fei, I don't know if the 'Five Departures Finger' has any other side effects besides losing strength?" Li Yan asked cautiously.

  "There are no other side effects, but the exhaustion I'm talking about is not just a matter of using up all your energy, it's the kind that hurts your vital energy. In mild cases, you'll need to rest in bed for a year or two, and in severe cases, you can die directly. Although you've already learned that one method of solidifying your foundation and cultivating your vitality, it will take at least ten days to half a month to recover your body." Li Xiangfei didn't lie, she told all the disadvantages of the "Five Departures Finger" technique, and also told Li Xifeng and others about the effect of that longevity technique.

  Five of us looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

  "Miss Xiangfei is kind enough to tell us the truth, and we are all very grateful. However, since we have come here, there is no reason for us to retreat now. No matter what, we must help Miss Xiangfei kill Fengling and obtain the title of viscount." Li Yan said solemnly.

  Several others also nodded in agreement, and everyone understood that the Silver Armor Knight was on a sailboat outside the island. They definitely couldn't return empty-handed, so they could only grit their teeth and move forward.

  "Thank you for your willingness to help me. Let's find that Viscount-level Wind Spirit first and see, if it's not necessary, let's not use the Five Departures Finger Technique. With our strength, we might be able to hunt it down directly."

  Miss Xiang Fei thinks thoroughly.

  Li Xi Feng and others nodded in agreement, but secretly smiled wryly to themselves: "If it's not useful, why would the Earl go to such great lengths to find us to cultivate?"

  A group of people on the island searched for Fengling and killed nearly a hundred Baron-level Fenglings in about half an hour.

  It's strange to say that so many baron-level wind spirits didn't leave behind even a hint of life, and not a single piece of equipment was seen.

  "The baron-level wind spirit should be almost hunted, and half of the time has passed. We must rush to kill that viscount-level wind spirit now. If we're late, it will probably be too late." Li Yan said, looking at the time.

  "Alright, let's go to the Viscount-level Wind Spirit's cave now." Li Xifeng said, looking at the map.

  The cave where the Viscount-level Wind Spirit was located was in the very center of Feng Island, on top of a rock that was over ten zhang high, with an opening that led straight underground to unknown depths.

  Almost indistinguishable from ordinary Fengling, it has a white transparent body like a ghost, without a fixed shape. Inside the body, there are countless small whirlpools, and when moving, many wind swirls are left on the trajectory.

  "Is this the Viscount-level Wind Spirit? It doesn't look much different from an ordinary Wind Spirit." Chen Xifeng stared at the Wind Spirit, his eyes wide with exaggeration.

  "That's right, it's this one. Don't look at it as if it's almost the same as an ordinary Fengling, in fact, they can't be mentioned on the same day, be extremely careful." Li Yan said.

  "What's there to be afraid of? We're here to take him down." Luo stepped forward and swung his fist.

  The wind spirit moved slowly, even the Viscount-level wind spirit was no exception, and it couldn't dodge Rog's fist, being punched squarely by Rog.

  A white glow suddenly emanated from Feng Ling's body, and Rog's fist slammed into it. Not only did the glow not break, but it also sent Rog flying back with a shockwave.

  Rog's face was covered in cold sweat, clutching his own fist, the boxing gloves were already torn apart, and looking at the swollen appearance, it seemed that several fingers had been broken.

  "Is this the immortal light of a Viscount-level undead? It's really powerful!" Bai Cangdong stared at the white glow flickering on Feng Ling's body, his face complex.

  Mei Wanjian let out a loud shout, drew his sword and stabbed at Feng Ling. The result was that the Baron-level Golden Armor shattered after colliding with the white light aura, but the light aura didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

  Bai Cang and others also rushed up, each using their own skilled martial arts, but none of them could break through the white light aura, and instead were all injured by the white light aura.

  "The viscount-level undead are really too powerful, even a weak and pitiful wind spirit like this one, once it reaches the viscount level and possesses the light of immortality, we barons can hardly defeat it." Li Yan's body was somewhat unable to support itself, and he had no choice but to retreat.

  Bai Cang and others also retreated from the cave one by one because Feng Ling's movement speed was too slow, and they were not able to catch up with them.

  "It's a good thing this Wind Spirit only uses the Undead Light for passive defense, if it were any other Viscount-level undead, we would have died who knows how many times already." Chen Xifeng said, wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead.

  "No more time, the wind is about to blow again soon, we must kill this Wind Spirit immediately."

  "It seems I have no choice but to use that move." Chen Xifeng sighed.

  "Miss Xiangfei, we'll use the Wu Lei Zhi to help you kill Feng Ling now, and then leave Lianfeng Island immediately and return to the ship," Luo Ke said.

  Li Xiangfei said softly: "I will definitely not let anything happen to you."

  "With Miss Xiang Fei's words, we can rest assured." Luo Ge was the first to walk up and pointed at Li Xiang Fei's palm.

  Luoke suddenly became extremely weak, almost falling to the ground, while Li Xiangfei's palm had an additional red line that extended all the way to the tip of her index finger.

  Bai Cang and the others stepped forward one by one, striking the "Five Departed Fingers" they had cultivated on Li Xiangfei's palm. Then each of them felt extremely weak, as if they had just gone through a major illness, barely having the strength to stand.

  Li Yan was the most miserable, his body was originally not good, after using "Wu Li Zhi", he immediately fainted, everyone rushed to check, fortunately, he only fainted and did not really die.

  Li Xiangfei's palm split into five red lines, each passing through the five fingers, with a faint glow flashing between them.

  "Miss Xiangfei, quickly go and kill Fengling." Li Xiufeng shouted.

  Li Xiangfei no longer hesitated, and rushed into the cave. Bai Cangdong and others outside the cave only heard a loud explosion coming out of it, and soon saw Li Xiangfei rushing out again.

  "Did Miss Xiangfei succeed?" Luo Ge hastily asked.

  Li Xiangfei revealed the mark on her forehead, which had changed from a baronial mark to a viscount's mark.

  "Congratulations to Miss Xiangfei on her promotion to viscount, but now is not the time for conversation. We'd better leave here quickly, the wind is coming soon." Li Xifeng said.

  "You're all very weak, I'll carry Li Yan instead." Li Xiangfei went forward to help Li Yan up and carried him on her back.

  Rumble!

  Just as everyone was about to leave, a terrifying explosion suddenly occurred inside the cave, accompanied by a strange and eerie howl, like the sound of wind and thunder.
