Chapter 344: Escape

Hanging from Kings leg, Sage swung his body to the side. It threw off Kings flight path, but it avoided the invisible blade that was coming their way. With the momentary assurance from being carried, Sage had activated the Timeless Eyes and with Foresight he saw Kings wing getting sliced open. Swinging on Kings leg caused the hawk with a sixty foot wingspan to bank to the side to recover its balance and also to avoid the attack it didnt see coming.

Unfortunately, Black Saber wasnt the only one after them. The three Strongfist Brothers took out crossbows and started firing at them while Whitestaff ran. Black Saber was releasing attacks from below.

Wait, where did Wu Chang go?

The question was answered a moment later when King was struck from above. Sage had been looking out below them for incoming danger so he didnt see the attack from the sky coming. The skies darkened and a violent wind assaulted them from above. A column of swirling air smashed down upon them, forcing them back down to the ground like a giant hammer. King was flung violently down to the ground, the two of them getting upturned so the big hawk was the one to crash against a hillside first. As fast as King was, they were already miles outside of Lionheart Town even though hed only flown for a few seconds. Just before Sage crashed down to the ground he caught sight of a small figure at an extremely high altitude.

The City Lord. Wu Chang. The citizens of Lionheart Town were startled by the loud noise, but when they looked up they could see their City Lord hovering high up in the sky, and they could hear the violent gusting of wind.

At the fifth rank it was finally possible for a Cultivator to truly fly through the sky without a magic tool. By understanding the natural laws and rules of the world, they could use the energy of heaven and earth to propel them through the sky. Of course, it only worked if they were skilled enough in the laws and different laws had different effects. By studying the ground, or earth, they could eventually negate gravity and float through the air. Of course, this was barely more than levitation, and theyd need to study other laws to move with any speed. Those that studied fire could use it to propel them through the sky, but it was very draining to maintain that level of power for long. Each element on avenue of study has its own pros and cons, but it was well known that those studying the Wind Laws were the best at flying. Light and Thunder were extremely fast, but the skies were filled with wind, just like the seas were filled with water. Those who studied the Wind Laws would become more agile than birds, and move as fast as the wind in the sky.

Tiankong zhi Wang. The King of the Sky.

The huge hawk faced off against Wu Chang high up in the air. The two of them shattered the local weather system and their clashes were louder than thunder.

On the ground, the immense pain shocked Sage into drastic action. It was far too dangerous for him to care about secrets at this point and he released the Human Seal, returning to his true form. A green scaled serpent fell to the ground. It was missing its left forelimb and couldnt put any weight onto the left rear limb. He could heal extremely quickly, but repairing bones would take a few hours and he couldnt just grow a new limb in a few days. He had no idea how long such a thing might take, even if it could be done, hed never tried it after all. The Fat Grass Worm that the power came from could even grow a new head and brain if it were sliced in half, but Sages own ability was not as strong. At least the speed of healing was much less, but Sage surmised the slower speed was caused by his body being far more complicated in comparison to a flatworm.

With his limbs injured and ribs cracked, he chose to use Cosmic Traction to help slither through the air. He still had two good limbs and most of his body to use for lateral undulation. All he had to do was build up enough distance from Black Saber and then he could call King away. He was sure that the Breach Hawk was far faster than Wu Chang and could easily escape.
