Beginning with the Ubume Bird - Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 25: The Descent of Nine-Winged Sudu!

However, Li Yan’s shortcomings were very clear.

He was highly mobile with unrivaled close combat abilities.

But he lacked long-range capabilities, and his constitution was fragile.

So now, Li Yan was trying to find a solution to this problem.

The white tail slapped happily against Li Yan’s leather shoes as the white tiger cub looked up at him, its pair of wet eyes gazing into Li Yan’s, then cocked its head to the side.

“You choose to expend Dragon Tiger Qi to summon a character from the Scale-Ding You Twenty-Four Fruits!”

“You choose to summon the target: Nine-Winged Sudu!”

Trust level of the target: 86%

Strength assessment: Ten Cities Peak

Dragon Tiger Qi consumed: four and a half quarters.

Summoning begins.

Wisp after wisp of nine-colored brilliance steamed off the white tiger cub’s fur, forming a pillar of nine-colored clouds as thick as a water tank, with specks of light shaking off it continuously.

A black feather fell from the cloud, followed by two, three…

Black feathers fluttered down, wrapping into a cocoon roughly a person’s height. Wings over three meters in length burst from the cocoon, revealing the enchantingly beautiful face of a woman.

“Lord of the Banner~”

Nine-Winged Sudu flapped her wings and rushed to Li Yan’s side; but before Li Yan could speak, Nine-Winged Sudu let out a curious sound, moving her face close to Li Yan’s chest and sniffing.

Li Yan stepped back awkwardly, and Nine-Winged Sudu spoke with a plaintive tone:

“Why does Lord of the Banner have the scent of a woman on him?”

“Hmm?”

Nine-Winged Sudu lowered her head again, her voice soft, “It’s okay, Sudu doesn’t mind.”

“Hmm???”

…

Despite the commotion, Li Yan’s choice of Nine-Winged Sudu was well-considered.

The black feathers provided a certain degree of protection, allowed for flight, and the black feather storm created by the flapping wings could reach five hundred meters.

Originally, the thick-skinned Niutou Chantanner was also within Li Yan’s consideration, but its size was too conspicuous, and moreover, there was no way to accommodate it during the day.

Currently, Li Yan already felt like he was the target of many arrows. Rashly summoning a Niutou Chantanner would undoubtedly expose his position.

“I hear you went to Ming Country?”

Nine-Winged Sudu held the little white tiger in front of her, rubbing her cheeks vigorously against its fur. On hearing Li Yan’s question, she looked up.

“Yeah, I was getting bored stiff up on Dragon Tiger Mountain.”

Dragon Tiger Mountain, Heavenly Master Tao.

Li Yan nodded, “I see you’ve made progress.”

“Yeah.”

Sudu lifted one of the little white tiger’s paws and turned to Li Yan, “I can definitely help Lord of the Banner, oh, Lord Governor.”

Rejecting Nine-Winged Sudu’s offer to ride on her back, Li Yan jogged down the highway.

By his side flew the low-skimming Nine-Winged Sudu.

“Lord Governor, how did you come here? Is this your original hometown? I always knew you were not just an ordinary person from Ming.”

“Lord Governor, this world is dead silent. Did you come here to restore the glory of Chu Territory’s Han River?”

“Lord Governor~”

“Sudu,” Li Yan said as lightly as he could, “we’ll talk about these things later. I’ve sent out the Sudu Birds you gave me. Help me keep an eye out for those whose behaviors and scents are similar to mine.”

Sudu Birds weren’t highly intelligent and couldn’t understand concepts such as “resembling scent and behavior.” However, if Nine-Winged Sudu was given command, that was a different matter altogether.

“No problem, my lord.”

Nine-Winged Sudu confidently took charge.

The direction Li Yan and the Sudu Birds were heading was toward Langfang Main Street Alley.

There were still thirty-something Yan Fu lurking and hiding within the vast expanse of Yan Capital City, blending in like water into the sea. Finding them without specifying a duel would be extremely difficult, and even with the help of the Sudu Birds, success wasn’t guaranteed.

Hat Zhang had agreed to keep an eye out for the wanderers’ whereabouts. Perhaps this might assist Li Yan.

Hmm?

“My lord.”

Nine-Winged Sudu banked sharply, turning around; faint black stripes appeared on her face, “Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.”

Li Yan’s wrist tensed as a Sudu Bird tugged at his sleeve. With a soft chirp, Li Yan understood.

Someone was coming.

“Sudu, fly a bit higher. Stay out of sight, act as the situation demands.”

Nine-Winged Sudu nodded, followed by dozens of Sudu Birds, as she flew towards the clouds.

Li Yan faced the north, silently counting to about ten in his mind.

An explosive roar, like a prolonged howl, surged from beneath the clouds. The intense white light was as sharp as a sword.

It was a sleek, heavy-duty motorcycle!

“You’ve spotted the hunter (the hunted)!”

It was Yan Fu walking.

This silver-white heavy-duty motorcycle had double wheels in both front and rear, and its massive engine at the front resembled a heavy cannon.

With an exaggerated metal style.

Dodge Tomahawk

Category: Vehicle

Quality: Excellent

Top speed 650 km/h, can accelerate to 90 km/h in 3 seconds.

Characteristic: Smooth Ride (can maintain at least 30% of road speed on any complex terrain, such as deserts, mud, grassland, gravel roads)

Nice thing.

Li Yan whistled, completely unconcerned about the murderous intent in the newcomer’s eyes.

Li Yan couldn’t see the other party’s face, but he judged that this was just a chance encounter.

If the other party had some special way to find his location, it didn’t make sense to charge blindly like this. Sudu birds were scattered within a half-kilometer radius of Li Yan; a surprise attack was impossible.

Moreover, when the other party noticed him, the heavy motorcycle clearly went through an acceleration process.

Speaking of motorcycles, Dodge Tomahawk, American goods, globally limited edition, nice car…

The driver pulled out a homemade alloy knight’s lance from behind and charged at Li Yan with lightning-fast speed.

The turbo roared, the person’s teeth bared, blood-red gums clearly visible.

How could flesh and blood withstand the impact of a fierce weapon like the Dodge Tomahawk?

Not to mention the lance in his hand.

Even Ten Cities couldn’t stop it.

In a flash.

Li Yan watched the motorcycle, like a beast pouncing at him, and lightly stepped sideways with his left foot, twisting his waist and stabbing backward with a reverse thrust. The gold-engraved Tiger Head Spear burst forth.

The spearheads brushed past each other, the knight’s lance grazing Li Yan’s hair, and the heavy motorcycle missed its mark!

The heavy motorcycle shot fifty meters past him.

Knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

The driver hesitated for a moment, didn’t dare to look back, but gripped the handle tightly and fled at breakneck speed, turning the turbo in reverse. In a very short time, he exploded with a speed even more terrifying than before, trying to escape.

Inheritance: Claw of Xingxing · Sudden Speed

Sudden Speed: Absorb the kinetic energy of any object and release it onto another object. The upper limit of energy absorption increases with the Awakening Degree.

Classic of Mountains and Seas · Southern Mountains Scripture: “There is a beast, shaped like a gibbous monkey with white ears, walking as if stooping; its name is Xingxing. Feasting upon it grants swiftness.”

Without a doubt, Xingxing is a weaker inheritance than Gu Huo Bird. Even the phrase ‘feasting upon it’ explicitly appears, but the practicality of “Sudden Speed” is not bad.

Paired with the Dodge Tomahawk, once known as the world’s fastest motorcycle, with its Smooth Ride characteristic.

If the strike misses, speed away a thousand miles.

Li Yan didn’t dodge or hide, but smiled amiably as he watched the man’s retreating figure: “I thought someone important was coming; turns out it’s just a reckless youngster.”

The Dodge Tomahawk, carrying a gust of wind, raced down the open highway in an X-shape.

Sweat seeped from the driver’s forehead.

Nothing to fear, with the speed of the Dodge Tomahawk, even if this guy has a firearm, he won’t hit me.

Can escape.

Li Yan, indeed not so easy to deal with.

Suddenly, a gauntlet rested on his shoulder, and within the black Star Helmet, two points of bloodlust captivated the soul.

Behind the driver sat the Black Rider Ghost!

Before the driver could react, his body was already thrown out by the Black Rider Ghost.

“Ah~”

Under immense inertia, his body tumbled several times in the air, and black feathers descended from the sky, piercing through his body entirely.

Blood sprayed across the sky.

“Unfortunately, you haven’t gained the inheritance.”

Nine-Winged Sudu shook the fresh blood from his hands and looked down at the body split in two.

“Lord, what is this man popping up for?”

Li Yan watched the Black Rider Ghost stop the motorcycle, the red pupils flashing with indescribable excitement, and shrugged his shoulders.

“Don’t know, maybe he came to deliver the car to me.”
