The wind howled, cutting through the sky like invisible bdes, as Tang Xi tried to ighe throbbing pain in his shoulder. The warm blood from her wound had already begun to dry from tact with the cold air from above, but every movement of the hawk that carried her reopen the wound, the pain she felt was relieved by the lunar energy.
Moments ago, when he saw that he was in this situation, she pced the little monkeys in his ste ring, so she could focus on escape, and without the risk of them getting into an act.
She hoped, analyzing, trying to calcute the best way to escape.
'I 't afford to attack the bird, if I fall by act during the fight, I'll die, not to mention these injuries, when I have the ce, I'll attack with talismans and hide in the ring.'
His only option was to wait until the hawks' fate and flee. She had barely realized with her wind-obstructed vision that their destination was the steep mountaihat exteo a great height. This would be your ce
But before she could prepare to act, the calm flight tly interrupted.
An attack.
The sudden impact threw the hawk to the side, brutally sag Tang Xi, whistinctively grabbed the bird's cws even tighter so as not to be thrown into the air.
Pain exploded again in his shoulder. To be mitigated by your lunar energy shortly thereafter.
The birds' high-pitched screams resounded amidst the chaos, pierg their ears as the flock gathered. scattered in despair.
Tang Xihe could barely see the attacker at first.
The strong wind cut into his face, his vision trembled with each sudden movement of the hawk that struggled to stabilize itself.
But a sound distorted and wrong filled the air around.
— ''Croac... croac..."
Something was wrong.
The other fals did not attack immediately.
They just hovered around, cirg like silent shadows as they watched the fight unfold.
She narrowed his eyes, f himself to see beyond the wind.
And then, she saw.
And something inside her stirred.
At first, the attacker seemed only another hawk.
But there was something terribly wrong with him.
Tang XiHe felt his body stiffen, his muscles lock, his stomach twist.
This wasn't just a hawk.
'That ing feeling, that appearahat behavior…' — she thought, seeing the signs present on him.
Your body should be covered by white and bck feathers like other fals. But now, its feathers were stained with dark, pulsating veins, as if something alive was crawling uhe skin.
The veins they moved.
It was like bed pus, spreading to every inch of the creature.
Tang Xi had never seen anything like this before.
She had only heard stories.
Stories about corrupted beings. Creatures whose existence was unnatural, marked by a distorted energy, ed by their desires, and darker thoughts .
But ohing was listen to stories.
Another pletely different one was see with your own eyes.
The putrid stench of your aura made his stomach turn.
The creature's energy it did not pulse like a natural flow of Qi.
She was twisted, as if something were stantly struggling to escape from i.
Tang Xihe couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity.
No because I khat thing, but because...
Because it was something that didn't seem fn to his deepest instinct.
His heart sped up, a chill running up his spine.
But there was no time to uand that now.
The corrupted didn't stop attag.
The hawk that carried her tried desperately to defend himself, but it was being pletely crushed by the chaotic aggression of the corrupted being.
Five hawks plunged into battle, attag with everything they had.
Tang Xi, seeing the situation, struggled to break free from the hawk's grasp. And after a few seds she mao narrowly escape being used as a buffer for the corrupted attack. And with effort he jumped on the back of another hawk that was attag. Which made him stagger and leave the fight in several maneuvers.
Tang Xi felt his breathing qui. As she g to the hawk with all the strength she could muster, as the lunar energy was guided to heal his injury.
As she struggled not to let go the battle between the birds and the corrupted beast tinued.
The monster didn't feel pain.
Even as the hawks' sharp cws struck him, ripping through his pulsing veins, he didn't hesitate, he didn't back down, he didn't show fear or survival instinct.
Just only anger directed at the hawk that had caught her earlier, even ign the attacks of the other hawks.
A fury untrolled that would not stop until it destroyed its source.
Every move it was a suicide attack.
This was the biggest problem of the corrupted.
They they did not fear death.
They were just desires, emotions aru in their purest form, strengthening as they caused pairu, etc.
The fight tihe seven hawks oscilting in altitude, diving and rising in a chaotic csh.
But Tang Xi didn't o look to know the oute.
The hawk that had captured her her was losing.
The corrupted he was stronger, wilder, more resilient.
And then, it happened.
A fatal blow.
The corrupted one was stronger, wilder, more resilient.
He tore off one of the hawk's wings.
The hawk screamed... and began to fall.
The others seeing this intensified their attacks.
But the corrupted feel no pain, no fear, reat.
Even when cws and beaks they tore his distorted flesh, he tio advance.
Each of the hawks fought and defended against the reckless and chaotic attacks that came from him, and finally after great effort on their part, the fatal blow came.
The corrupted hawk had his head ripped off.
But he still moved.
For one horrible moment, even without a head, its body tried to tiag.
Only when your torso was torn apart in mid-air what he finally fell.
What was left fell towards the forest, and the other fals They pounced on the remains, tearing everything apart until nothing was left.
Tang Xi who mao stabilize himself oher hawk's back watched every piece of the creature beiroyed, your chest rising and falling with adrenaline.
The fight was over.
But the disfort inside her caused by the creature still remained.
That feeling...
It wasn't the first time she felt something like this.
But... why?
Tang Xi didn't have time to ahat question.
For the hawks returo their course and they would soon nd in their s oeep mountain
