Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 165 Orcon Forest 2 Ix : Fairy Druid; Devonte

Khan was the first to make a move, He turned into a swirling gust of wind as he shot in the direction of the group of people who were obviously intent on starting something. His intangible form crashed into them, as sharp claws slashed out and soft really nasty sounds on their bodies, but they had scarcely any time to react when Alex decided to make his own move, relying instinctually on something that seems to have been branded into the very essence of his soul.

(Wind G.o.d Martial Series: Movement: Wind Stride Of The Seven Heavens!)

A new movement art that has never been seen or heard off before. Alex's body turned illusory and seemed to face into the wind, his figure was seen appearing in the air above the red dressed youth, before his body seemed to rotate in the air like a log rolling down a cliff, his clenched fist swinging down like a hammer, guided by the divine winds of the heaven, unstoppable in all it's might and finesse. To the eyes of some of the onlookers, it almost looked as if Alex was moving in slow motion, but his speed had surpa.s.sed his previous level as he had almost become one with the wind.

This move at it's core was carrying the seemed of Alex's (Iron Viper Strike), channeling all of the forces in his body into one precise and powerful hit. It was swift and unstoppable, and all the guy in red could do was stand there dumbly and watch. It was as if he was a criminal on trial and this was him having no choice but to accept the verdict that was being given to him. The area around him was locked down, and even though winds could not be seen gathering around Alex's fist, tiny arcs of blue and white lightning were dancing all-over his fist. His punch fell, but there was a swirl of leaves as someone had swooped in and rescued the guy wearing red. He was safe, but as for the ground where he was standing a few minutes ago, it exploded in a manner akin to a grenade good my off.

The explosion pushed Alex upwards, but his body seemed to glide along air currents and he gently found himself back to the ground, his gaze stuck firmly on the man who had just rescued his target. Alex furrowed his eyebrows, this guy was an Earth gate cultivator with his cultivation stuck firmly in the soul refining realm, and seeing as he had pulled out two green daggers, it was obvious there was going to be a rather serious fight. Alex honestly wasn't too sure of his chances, after all this guy was at a higher cultivation level, and he was restraining his energy like the last time Alex fought with Miranda.

As if that wasn't enough all of his martial skills have been wiped from his mind, all he had were three different skills from the wind G.o.d cla.s.sic. A movement skill at the first level, a fist skill with it's first and only move, and an all purpose weapon skill that also had only one move. it would be hard, but this was as good a time as any to try and see how much more stronger he had become, if worse comes to worst.....Xeron can just come out to play.

Khan flitted across the crater smashing his wind form against people and leaving them with rather nasty cuts that Alex knew was pretty much cursed and would continue bleeding until they died of were saved. If he could finish this city on time, he would try saving them, after all a dog can't be blamed for it's master's stupidity. Alex bent his knees a bit, and held his fist up in a boxing stance, his opponent, a man dressed in a dark green hooded garb, crossed both green blades in front of him, it was like he was some sort of a.s.sa.s.sin or ranger.

"Kill him Devonte! Kill him I say!" the guy in red all but screamed, his annoying nasally voice was all they needed to start the fight.

The hooded guy moved, his figure a hours as his green daggers glinted with a promise of pain, Khan rushed forwards in his wind form, swirling around like a horizontal cyclone. But this guy was good as he jumped into the air, twirling his body around as he evade Khan and landed in front of Alex in a sliding crouch as he slashed at Alex's waist. The daggers went through an after image as Alex kicked at his head, the guy moved back and rested all his weight on one hands and jumped up to give a one handed bull kick that smashed into Alex's chest and shot him backwards faster than he could register the hit.

Khan's wind form caught up with him and cushioned the blow before Alex could smash against the ma.s.sive meteorite behind him. The green a.s.sa.s.sin didn't not even give them anytime to catch their breath as he appeared in front of Alex, daggers slicing towards his neck. There was a loud clang as Alex's spear showed up and intercepted the strikes, before Alex pushed forward banking on this surprise to smash the body of the spear against his forehead. He was blasted backwards like Alex was, but he was pushed back five meters, as his hood slide off his head and the blank eyes of black teenager was staring right back at Alex......he was blind.

Devonte as he was called held both daggers in a reverse grip and sliced upwards, releasing a beam of bright green and white energy at Alex, and as he did so, roots with sharpened tips shot out of the ground, stabbing towards Alex with a vengeance. I was as if an entire forest was after his life, Alex jumped up, leaving behind an afterimage as he shot towards Devonte, evading the roots that were piercing upwards at him with an ease of movement that was very reminiscent of the Tai-Chi fist technique. Alex shifted his spear to his left hand once he was above Devonte and began to spin.

Devonte had already seen or rather sense the power of this technique when he had rescued the red dressed youth, so he knew he would be seriously hurt if he took it head on. Roots as fat as tree trunks shot out of the ground, piercing upwards towards Alex who had completed his rotation and was smashing his fist down.

(Wind G.o.d Martial Series: Fist: Storm Judgment!)

*Boom!* *Crccackkakcack!*

The sound of wood cracking and breaking was so loud it left some of the onlookers feeling extremely weird, but none the less Devonte had successfully blocked Alex's strike, however all of the roots he had summoned were now nothing but chips, and he was exposed to Alex who brought his spear smashing down. He crossed his daggers and raised them up to defend, he was brought down to his knees in a single stride as his eyes widened in shock at the sheer power hidden within Alex's body. He could sense that Alex was only in the first levels of the true essence realm, which made this entire fight completely ridiculous, however Devonte was no ordinary cultivator either.

He rushed forwards, his daggers raising Sparks from their contacts with Alex's spear. They were too close, and Devonte was just as fast if not a whole lot more faster than Alex, so when both daggers stabbed into his left knee he panicked.

Devonte was extremely ruthless and was about to use both daggers to dig his knee cap out when Alex smashed his second Knee against the side of Devonte's head, surprising the other teen at Alex's sheer tenacity to endure pain and make a move. He was blasted backwards into the air, his head ringing just as a gust of wind smashed him into the air and subsequently into the ground, and then a ma.s.sive jaw unceremoniously took a chunk out of his shoulder.

Devonte stabbed upwards, feeling his dagger dig into flesh before it subsequently became wind and flew away. He dragged himself back to his feet, ignoring his bleeding shoulder as he watched Alex hobbling on one feet with Khan besides him, also sporting a rather nasty Injury. It was a stalemate, Alex could keep on fighting for a very long time, but his opponent was no ordinary cultivator. And even if he was ordinary, this was a guy in the soul refining realm, if not for the fact there was a difference of two realms, there was a difference of an entire gate! Alex was the freak here, fighting such a talented soul refining cultivator to a stalemate was beyond insane.

Devonte knew he had underestimated Alex, he didn't think he would push to such a state by a cultivator in the true essence realm. If Alex was in the same realm as he was, it was obvious that he would already be dead. And that realization gave him a chill he couldn't Understand or get rid off, this foolish young Master of his had gone on and made a terrible enemy out of his greed.

But there was no going back now, he had started this fight, so it's either this opponent of his dies or he dies. It was in that moment that there were a bunch of new comers, and judging from the look on their faces, these guys were his people, guess he was here first and was waiting for help. But it doesn't matter, the strong took what they wanted.

Alex could see emotions going through Devonte's face, but his blind blank look made him seem pitiful. But he knew there was nothing pitiful about this teen in front of him, he was strong, probably the strongest challenge Alex has had to face so far. And Alex could not help but come to one conclusion, he wanted him.

"Devonte was it? If you survive this next move you will serve me instead. Because quite frankly you're only still alive right now because I want to test myself. So try your best, and if you want to kill me then you better aim for the head! Anything other than that will see you on your feet, prepare yourself!"

Alex also noticed something about Devonte, something that Nezha also noticed and had to tell him. For one Devonte wasn't human, the ridiculous amount of spirit energy coming off the guy was more than enough proof that we wasn't fully human. And Nezha confirmed it.

(Alex! That boy......is a druid! But not just any druid! That kid is a fairy!)
