Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

At this moment, his long blade glowed with a green light, and Gang Wind swirled around it.

This is a blade technique that can be used at both long and short ranges. In close combat, the Gale Blade’s power far exceeds its long-range usage.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Xiong Rui wielded his long blade like a howling gale, shattering the Celestial Ice Palm and Celestial Flame Palm attacking him.

"Boom!"

"Guh..."

Xiong Rui suddenly lost his balance and nearly fell.

The Red-eyed Eagle was hit by Yi Tian’s Celestial Ice Palm, causing a large patch of feathers to freeze, greatly reducing its flying speed.

Moreover, this palm strike inflicted severe internal injuries on the Red-eyed Eagle, decreasing its combat power by another twenty percent.

"Despicable and shameless, attacking my mount."

Xiong Rui was furious, raised his blade, and positioned it behind the neck of the Red-eyed Eagle to shield it.

He was no more than three hundred meters away from Yi Tian. As long as he got closer, he could chop off Yi Tian’s head with a single stroke.

"You’re good!"

Seeing that the dense Celestial Ice and Flame Palms had no effect on Xiong Rui, Yi Tian stopped using these two martial skills.

The mastery of the level seven saber technique is remarkable.

Mainly because Xiong Rui’s blade skill, when integrated into the blade, boosts his attack by 70% in close combat.

If he used sword qi, the power would only increase by 20%.

Yi Tian’s World-Edge Sword couldn’t be used at close range, it was only for long-range battles.

However, the second form of Yi Tian’s Unrivaled Sword Skill, Dragon’s Roar, was a close-combat sword skill for a Qi Refiner.

Once he mastered the Dragon Roar, Yi Tian’s close combat would undergo a qualitative leap.

Originally planning to spare using the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm, now with Xiong Rui approaching, he could no longer hold back.

The World-Edge Sword couldn’t guarantee taking down Xiong Rui.

"Ice and Fire Celestial Palm!"

The ice element spiritual power and fire element spiritual power clashed in his meridians, quickly merging into an ice-fire element that appeared in Yi Tian’s palm.

Purple flames, purple ice crystals, burning ice crystals...

Underwent more than a dozen changes in an instant.

Xiong Rui’s pupils shrank as he witnessed a terrifying power.

This was not merely the elements but a qualitative elevation.

The Ice and Fire Celestial Palm in Yi Tian’s hand was instantly ready, then pressed towards Xiong Rui.

Xiong Rui’s first thought wasn’t to defend, but to dodge.

But the speed of the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm was too fast, even faster than his blade.

In less than 0.01 seconds of forming the thought of dodging, a bone-chilling cold immobilized him. His physique and spiritual defense weren’t sufficient to withstand this cold.

"Boom!"

Xiong Rui was hit by the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm, turning into a purple ice sculpture.

The Red-eyed Eagle didn’t abandon its master and was also infected by Xiong Rui, becoming an ice sculpture in the next moment.

Without propulsion, the Red-eyed Eagle and Xiong Rui plummeted into the sea together.

While in mid-air, speckles appeared on the ice sculpture. It seemed as if flames were burning inside it.

"Crack!"

In mid-air, the ice sculpture shattered into fragments, leaving no remains of Xiong Rui and the Red-eyed Eagle.

Yi Tian sheathed his sword.

After unleashing the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm, as always, his whole body felt alternately hot and then cold.

Yi Tian thought this was due to poor physique.

He boldly surmised that if Yi Tian weren’t practicing both Body Refining and Qi Refining, he wouldn’t be able to release the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm even if he had it.

His meridians and bones wouldn’t be able to endure the dominant power of the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm.

Body and qi advancing together is Yi Tian’s plan.

If body and qi become unbalanced, with qi surpassing the body, even the most optimistic scenario would mean increased cooldown for releasing the Ice and Fire Celestial Palm; it could even lead to backlash after releasing it due to poor physique.

The Ice and Fire Celestial Palm exceeds Divine Talent’s strength precisely due to the various restrictions and enhancements it brings.

The other Scorpio Raptors had already charged within a kilometer of Yi Tian; Deputy Commander Xiong Rui’s death was a blow to these Scorpio Bandits, but not enough to lose their courage.

There were so many raptors that as long as they attacked Yi Tian’s mount and made Yi Tian fall into the water, Yi Tian would be doomed.

"Little Black, prepare to return. Don’t fly too far." Yi Tian instructed Little Black.

"Screech!"

Little Black turned around.

Having the God of Ten Thousand Eagles, Little Black was still A-level in strength, and these Sky Soldiers couldn’t catch up to Little Black.

Outnumbered, there was no way to stand and fight!

If I kite them, I might be able to take down some more of the enemy’s Sky Soldiers.

"Slash!"

An early-stage Platinum Warrior charging at the front was slain by Yi Tian’s sword qi with one stroke.

The remaining two Qi Refiner bandits began using martial skills to attack Yi Tian.

But these two Qi Refiner Bandits were far worse than Xiong Rui.

Their martial skills flew towards Yi Tian, only to be easily shattered by him.

"World-Edge Sword!"

Yi Tian struck one of the Qi Refiner’s; both he and his raptor were slain together.

"Celestial Ice Palm!"

The other Qi Refiner was struck by Yi Tian’s Celestial Ice Palm, dying instantly with regret.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

The "brave" raptors near Yi Tian were cut down by Yi Tian’s sword qi, including two Platinum Warriors.

In the Bloodstained State, they stood no chance.

The other Scorpio Bandits finally realized the insurmountable gap with Yi Tian and saw that they couldn’t match Little Black’s speed, so they commanded the raptors not to chase.

"Screech..."

A sharp and high-pitched scream came, carrying a soul-piercing power.

Even from afar, Yi Tian was visibly shaken.

Yi Tian turned to look into the distance, where a dense flock of birds was flying toward him.

Among them, there was a raptor with a ten-meter wingspan; it was Yi Tian’s first time seeing such a colossus in the air.

In the first instance, Yi Tian didn’t use the Celestial Dao Stone to detect the bandits on the "colossus" but first probed into it.

Yi Tian saw additional information from the Tiger Owl.

The Tiger Owl preys on tigers.
