Blue Phoenix Chapter 21 – The Strength of a Saint Ranked Expert

The warm winds that had previously proven this night to be yet another mild summer night had turned into a frozen gale that stabbed through Hui Yue’s skin as if it contained icicles.

The expression that usually stayed indifferent was now alert. His eyes were shining with acumen. Hui Yue retreated a few steps to the side, to allow all seven men to be within his eyesight.

While taking a defensive stance, Hui Yue observed the men in front of him in much more detail than he had done before. Their black cloaks, made from a glistening material with black inscriptions woven upon them, emitted a silvery light. These black inscriptions seemed to be releasing some kind of spiritual force, causing the air around the men to fluctuate slightly.

The men were completely covered by these cloaks, disallowing even one patch of skin to be visible. No shine from their eyes could be seen from within their hoods, nor could any sound of breathing be heard. Even while looking closer at these cloaked men, it was still impossible for Hui Yue to sense even the slightest bit of cultivation base from within.

Hui Yue took a deep breath and forced his body into tranquillity. Deep within Hui Yue’s qi cave was the qi spiral, containing the essence which had meticulously been refined through years of hard work into a high-quality qi.

Although this qi only amounted to a six star Student ranked cultivator, the quality allowed Hui Yue to use it much more efficiently. Currently, the qi spiral was swirling around like a hurricane, as it had been forcefully merged together with Lan Feng’s aura. Ever so slowly, small strands of qi released themselves from the hurricane and coursed through his meridians in a careful and exceedingly controlled manner.

Although they had the numbers advantage, they thought they were inferior to the expert in brute strength and did not wish to make the first move.
