Chapter 75: Second-level Monster
"Forty-three kilometers... This is the radius of my little reflection. Is that a coincidence?"

Liang Xiao was secretly surprised and immediately recalled the flying sword.

A few hundred meters away, in an off-road vehicle, several people wearing black iron masks were curiously looking at the young man in black clothes and black mask who was standing in a daze on the Gobi Desert.

"What's that guy doing there?"

"It has a connection with our masks. It must be a classmate."

"Maybe he failed in his mission and doesn't dare to go back. Hehe, do you want to tease him?"

"Then let's go and see. How dare a Black Iron bounty hunter appear alone in the wilderness? Let's teach him what a sinister human heart is."

Several people immediately changed direction and drove the off-road vehicle towards Liang Xiao.

However, when they were still hundreds of meters away from Liang Xiao, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.

"Oh no, it's a flying sword..."

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they looked up at the sky suddenly, while subconsciously putting up a protective shield.

"Qiang!"

However, the stream of light that fell from the sky flashed and easily pierced through their protective shield, cut through their off-road vehicle, and penetrated deeply into the ground.

A hundred meters away.

Under the black iron mask, Liang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and pointed at those people with a hand seal.

"call out!"

The flying sword that pierced through the ground shot towards those people again.

Several people's faces changed drastically and they had no time to defend themselves.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The flying sword turned into a stream of light and shuttled between several people. In less than a second, it flew into the sky again and disappeared.

next moment--

“Bang bang bang!!”

The clothes on several people burst open.

The rest of the people were fine, but one of them had a curvy figure and turned out to be a girl.

"Ahhh!!"

The girl couldn't help but scream.

"..."

Liang Xiao quickly recalled his flying sword, bent his legs slightly, and then jumped up suddenly.

"call out!"

The flying sword came quickly and landed at his feet. At the same time, he used the "Stepping Control Method" to absorb the flying sword with his feet, and then he made a seal and pointed forward.

"call out!"

The flying sword immediately carried him away quickly.

The only sound left was the scream of the girl in the distance.

……

"People are evil?"

Liang Xiao sneered secretly.

Without some strength, the whole world is dangerous.

But when you become strong enough, everyone around you will be good, and there will no longer be any evil people.

Although he didn't know those classmates, he felt that he would have a chance to find out who they were later.

After all… there are more than just those few students in this area, and they might be on the news soon.

In fact, the strength of those people is not weak at all, they have all reached perfection in Qi training.

But the person they met was Liang Xiao.

The level of "Flying Immortal Art" is already very high, and under Liang Xiao's control, its power is even greater, which they are simply unable to contend with.

"Then I will let you know what it means to be evil!"

It just so happens that I have a lot of experiments to do and I’m in urgent need of experimental equipment.

For example, the optimization of "The Art of Mixing".

Suppressing these thoughts, Liang Xiao carefully experienced the feeling of flying with a sword.

"Is this what it feels like to fly in person? It's really cool!"

His current speed is actually not too fast, only about seventy meters per second.

After all, it is flying with a sword, which has to bear its own weight, and the speed is many times slower than simply controlling the flying sword to shoot the enemy.

But traveling at this speed is much faster than running on the ground.

After all, you need to go up and down hills on the ground, and turn when you encounter obstacles.

When flying in the sky, you can cross in a straight line.

"I can go even faster!" Liang Xiao sensed the speed at which his Qi was being consumed, and then infused Qi into the flying sword through his feet.

As a result, his flying speed became faster and faster, and soon soared to 80 meters per second... 90 meters... 100 meters...

However, after the speed reaches one hundred meters per second, it can no longer be increased.

Because at this time the rate at which the true Qi is consumed is almost catching up with the rate of recovery.

In this wilderness, it is best to keep some surplus true energy to deal with dangers that may arise at any time, and not to be careless.

"The Stepping Control Method" itself is just a skill-based magic. In essence, it is not even a magic. It can only be regarded as a skill. It has nothing to do with speed. It just allows a person to absorb the flying sword and prevent it from falling.

The speed of flying a sword mainly depends on one's own true energy and the actual control of the flying sword.

However, there is a huge difference between simply controlling the flying sword and flying with the sword. Because when flying with the sword, the flying sword has to bear its own weight, and there are various other factors, so the speed is far less than the speed of simply controlling the flying sword.

Of course, it also has something to do with the quality of the flying sword itself.

"One hundred meters per second... is comparable to Minister Han's flying speed."

Liang Xiao was still very satisfied with this.

After all, his current cultivation level is only the eighth level of Qi training.

Because the sky is inhabited by ferocious birds, he didn't dare fly too high.

Of course, we didn't dare fly too low, and flew only a hundred meters above the ground.

This distance is just right for him now. Even if the attack comes from the ground, he still has a certain amount of reaction time.

"This 'Stepping Control Method' is a bit like driving skills. It seems there is still room for improvement..."

Liang Xiao continued to fly the sword skillfully while flying.

As he became more and more proficient in this technique, he gradually began to feel some parts that were not smooth enough, so he made adjustments based on his own feelings.

At the beginning, he also needed to use seals to control the direction and speed of the flying sword.

For example, acceleration, deceleration, and even turning all require seals to control.

This is very disadvantageous for air combat.

But as he slowly adjusted himself, gradually, the connection between the flying sword under his feet and his own spirit became closer and closer.

In the end, he was even able to control it with his mind and completely abandon the seals.

"My understanding is getting stronger and stronger. If one day I really have no other options, I might be able to transform other people's magic and sell it."

Liang Xiao couldn't help but have this thought flash through his mind, but then he changed his mind and realized that if even someone as outstanding as himself was at a dead end, then the environment must have deteriorated, and it was uncertain whether he could still sell his magic.

Shaking his head, he moved his mind and the flying sword under his feet swelled up in the wind, soon becoming as big as a door panel, enough for him to step on with both feet in parallel without having to continue lying sideways.

He stood with his hands behind his back, flying on his sword, maintaining a constant speed of 100 meters per second in a straight line, and quickly headed towards the direction of Eli City.

On the ground, in many off-road vehicles that were overtaken, the monks looked at the flying swords that were quickly passing over their heads in doubt and amazement.

"Is that a senior who has established his foundation?"

"Does Senior Foundation Building still need to fly a sword?"

"But the normal speed of flying a sword can't reach that fast, right?"

"You ask me, I ask who to go to..."

……

As they got farther and farther away from Koro City, Liang Xiao gradually discovered traces of monsters.

However, perhaps because there were too many strong people in Koro City, the powerful monsters either ran away or died due to the indiscriminate hunting.

Therefore, almost all the monsters he could see were in the early and middle stages of the first stage.

Late-stage and peak-stage first-order monsters are extremely rare.

When the monsters saw that he could fly at an incredible speed, they did not dare to attack him.

Liang Xiao did not waste time on these monsters.

An hour later, he was already more than 300 kilometers away.

The number of monsters here has finally increased, and the frequency of appearance of late-stage first-level and peak-stage first-level monsters has also greatly increased.

However, his speed did not decrease at all. Anyway, his perception range was very large. Especially for the peak first-level monsters, he could vaguely sense them from ten kilometers away.

If he senses a threat, he will stay away from it.

Of course, because the monsters would also restrain their breath, he was very alert. Instead of increasing his flying altitude, he lowered it again, almost flying close to the ground, trying to be as low-key as possible.

In this way, another hour passed, and he was already more than 700 kilometers away from Koro City.

Suddenly Liang Xiao slowed down because he sensed a powerful aura chasing him quickly.

"A second-level monster? Did it treat me as its prey?"

His eyes turned cold and he directly took out the Destruction Gun.

Although this destructive spear was originally condensed in Changlin City, it is only made up of three twisted "vines" and its power is not very great.

But with his current strength when throwing it out, coupled with the blessing of the special golden elixir that has now reached the eighth level, the power is definitely much stronger than before.
