Chapter 3038 — The Fiery Cloud to the Rescue

"Little Wind, are you running short on stamina and true qi?" Wei Zhao suddenly thought of a possibility and asked hastily.
"Roar, roar!" At Wei Zhao's words, the Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast nodded again and again to confirm it was so.
"Good, then let me replenish it for you!" Having settled his conjecture, Wei Zhao placed both hands on the Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast's body and began to circulate the third level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, which he had only just learned and did not yet command with any great fluency.
Though Wei Zhao could not yet wield the third-level mental method with skill, even so, the third level and the second were as different as heaven and earth. He could now surpass the state he had reached at the second level's great perfection; both the volume of true qi he could deliver and the speed of its delivery were a cut above.
Wei Zhao did not employ the martial technique Spring Rain from Heaven, but chose instead to test channeling true qi through the third level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art—also because spirit beasts differed from cultivators. Back then, when Tian Chan was not using her cultivation's mental method and oral formulas, Wei Zhao had been unable to transmit energy and true qi to her; he could only heal her injuries.
But spirit beasts were another matter. They had no mental method or oral formula and absorbed energy and true qi on their own, so Wei Zhao wanted to try whether it would work while the beast was in motion. After all, once Spring Rain from Heaven was used, it genuinely drained Wei Zhao's own stamina and true qi; should they encounter enemies in that interval, Wei Zhao would be at a disadvantage.
The Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art was different. Wei Zhao served merely as a conduit, converting the inexhaustible energy within the jade pendant's space and transmitting it to the Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast, which did not affect his own strength in the slightest.
A ceaseless torrent of power poured into the Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast's body as Wei Zhao circulated the third level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, and the beast swiftly recovered its stamina and true qi, its speed once more pushed to its limit.
"Roar, roar—" The Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast felt as though inexhaustible strength filled every fiber of its being.
Seeing the beast's speed restored, Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. At this pace, he estimated they would reach the Sun household in about two more hours. The Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast traveled in a straight line, caring nothing for whether a road lay ahead; mountains, rivers, houses—it could soar over them all. The lightness skill of a beast at the peak of the late Earth rank was, after all, quite formidable.
Wu Chengtian brought the Fiery Cloud along to the Sun household. Before the car had even drawn near, they heard Sun Jingyan's shrill, anguished screams.
The Sun household stood alone in this area, with no other families anywhere nearby, so no matter how loud Sun Jingyan screamed, no outsider could hear her.
"Ah—" Sun Jingyan's cries one after another plucked at Wu Chengtian's heartstrings. He had already given up pursuing her, yet deep down he still liked her. Now, seeing her with Wei Zhao, Wu Chengtian could only offer silent blessings and extinguish that hope.
But her screams still made his eyes burn red and his fury surge to the heavens. Whether she was the woman he had once loved deeply or his elder brother's wife now, to see her tormented like this—Wu Chengtian could bear it no longer.
Just as Wu Chengtian stopped the car and made to get out, an arm reached over and seized him—it was the Fiery Cloud, sitting in the passenger seat.
"Don't be rash. In there is one expert at the peak of the early Heaven rank and another at the peak of the late Heaven rank. I'm no match for either!" The Fiery Cloud shook his head.
