But the old fox demon of Qianhu Mountain saw an opportunity at this moment and suddenly made a move.
A vicious expression appeared on its aged face.
A flash of light on its body, and the long white tail suddenly detached from its body, darting rapidly towards the Young Wolf Lord.
âShoo shoo shoo shoo!â
The old fox demonâs tail instantly expanded and elongated, continuously spreading, transforming into countless dense silvery-white threads stabbing towards the Young Wolf Lord, like a volley of a thousand arrows!
The Young Wolf Lordâs body was incredibly tough, and attacks from Human Race cultivators of the same rank could not damage it.
Yet it couldnât completely block the assault of the white threads.
In many slightly weaker defensive spots, such as the joints of the limbs and the abdomen, a large number of white threads drilled in, causing him to let out a muffled groan.
"Scram!"
A large amount of black radiance emanated from the Young Wolf Lordâs body, roasting the white threads like a raging fire, finally burning them all away.
However, its aura had plummeted significantly, seemingly worn down by a substantial amount of primordial qi.
Wounded by the old fox demon, the Young Wolf Lord dared not remain in place and sought to relocate.
Just at that moment.
A massive black cube cage descended straight onto it, shrouding its vision in darkness.
In less than three breaths of time.
There was a loud âbangâ, and the black cage was violently broken by the Young Wolf Lord, transforming into four dimly glowing formation flags that flew away awkwardly into the distance.
Yet, its vision had been obscured for several breathsâ worth of time, and the Human Raceâs main objective was achieved.
A plethora of prepared spells or magic treasures descended from the sky, rolling in torrents.
The magic treasure formed by the old fox demonâs tail once again shot out numerous white threads âshoo shoo shooâ towards it;
A streak of silver light pierced towards its heart like lightning. Wherever the silver light passed, the void rippled slightly, evident of its incredible speed and power;
A black giant sword, a hundred feet long, hovered over the Young Wolf Lord, with black fiendish energy surging on it like dark clouds pressing down, then dropped towards its neck as if the sky were falling;
A Scarlet Flame battle flag fluttered close to it, with the flag flapping audibly, generating many firebirds out of thin air, all rushing towards the Young Wolf Lord as if returning home...
The combined power of more than ten different magic treasures converged and intertwined, turning the Young Wolf Lordâs location into a desperate scenario filled with spiritual power, energy thrumming, and the void quaking...
"Ah!!"
The Young Wolf Lord let out a horrific scream that echoed through the heavens and earth, then quickly rushed out.
In a pitiful state, its entire body was covered in wounds and charred, blood gushing forth, forming pools beneath its paws.
"Damn humans, you canât kill me!" After enduring a round of furious bombardment, the Young Wolf Lord still roared defiantly.
But immediately after, it saw that there were more than a dozen human cultivators with deep auras surrounding it.
Each of them had already prepared their spells, releasing them at it once more, initiating a second round of brutal bombardment.
âBoom boom boom!â
The foot of Qianhu Mountain had become a complete forbidden zone.
Hundreds of demon wolves were caught up in the spell effects, perishing in an instant.
Even two wolf generals, unable to dodge in time, were heavily injured, retreating with their crippled bodies like defeated dogs.
After the second round of bombardment, the Young Wolf Lord finally could not withstand it any longer.
Its body, like a balloon that had been popped, reverted to its original height of about ten feet, with its aura severely weakened.
It cast a resentful glance at the human cultivators, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then fled awkwardly as a streak of red light.
"Quick, chase it! This demonâs talent is truly terrifying, hard to surpass even in the Cyan Wolf Ridge. Weâve ambushed it with intent, attacked it twice, and yet canât kill it!"
"Forget it, it canât even maintain its true form anymore; its cultivation has likely dropped below that of a Demon General. Truly recovering will take at least a hundred years."
"Our main objective to prevent the Young Wolf Lord from breaking through to Great Demon has been achieved.
Killing it would have different implications, potentially leading to the same disastrous outcome as thousands of years ago, sparking a war between the human and demon races, causing widespread suffering."
On the scene were numerous Foundation Establishment great cultivators hailing from the Corpse-Driving Sect, Red Sun Sect, True Blood Sect, and Qingluan Palace.
After driving off the Young Wolf Lord, they exchanged words and then left one by one.
On the way back with the Corpse-Driving Sect camp.
"Wang Hongyue, how come you couldnât trap the Young Wolf Lord for even three breaths, almost ruining our major affair," Elder Bi remarked somewhat discontentedly.
Elder Wang wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, his face pale, not offering much explanation, though hatred and anger flashed in his eyes.
âDamn it, if it werenât for being sneak-attacked by that despicable body cultivator, how could I have failed to trap the Young Wolf Lord for even three breaths, getting wounded again and again?â
...
Corpse-Driving Sect, Wendao Peak.
The despicable body cultivator Wang Hongyue was bitterly complaining about was quietly residing in the âYanboâ cave abode, practicing martial arts with his Lifebound Corpse, Lou Er.
âWhoosh whoosh!â
Lou Er punched forward into the void, each blow like a tiger, full of strength.
Its body was agile, footwork orderly, like a veteran martial artist who had trained for hundreds of years.
Of course, this was only in terms of technique alone.
If you added forty or fifty thousand pounds of strength and an Iron Corpse body invulnerable to swords and spears, probably even ten martial artists combined wouldnât be its match.
"Extreme Fist," Lou Yi commanded Lou Er.
The next moment.
Lou Erâs legs tensed, back arched like a bow, waist tight as a string, right arm like an arrow, delivering a hook punch at a forty-five-degree angle to the sky.
âPa!â
The powerful sound of firecrackers echoed, lingering in the air for a long time.
Following that, straight punches, hook punches, uppercuts, jab punches, leg kicks, side kicks, whip kicks, and axe kicks...
Lou Er executed various martial arts moves one by one, playing with them gracefully like a flower.
Lou Yi, seeing this, couldnât help but marvel.
Lou Er might be the first to receive what was almost the entirety of his martial arts legacy, even though itâs not human.
"True Strength Breaking Body."
Upon hearing Lou Yiâs command again.
Lou Er extended its right hand forward.
Its index and middle fingers joined, red light gathering between them, shot out with a âswishâ towards Lou Yi, who easily blocked it with his palm.
âWith lethal power like this, ordinary late-stage Qi Cultivators, if unguarded, might end up in trouble,â Lou Yi silently assessed.
He was quite satisfied with Lou Erâs current combat strength, thinking it should be able to provide some help.
Next time venturing out, he might consider taking it along.
"Lou Wooden Head, your great lady is here, why arenât you coming to receive me!" A familiar playful voice was heard from outside.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lou Yiâs mouth as he strode out the door.
Bi Yaoyao was bouncing towards him.
Today, she unusually tied her hair into twin ponytails, coupled with her proud stature, added an indescribable allure compared to usual.
"Sigh, Qingyi hasnât come out yet, I donât even know whom to play with," Bi Yaoyao couldnât help but complain.
"Just inherited it, thereâs obviously a process to digest," Lou Yi was rather understanding.
"By the way, my family sent a message, it seems the traces of a dragon have indeed appeared in the Hundred Herb Valley," Bi Yaoyao said.
"If there are traces of a dragon, it seems the news about the Dragon Saliva Grass is likely true," Lou Yi thought for a moment, "Elder Wang likely spent quite a bit to lure me out."
"No need to worry about Elder Wang," Bi Yaoyao blinked her big eyes, "I was just about to tell you, Elder Wang is not in the sect now, heâs been tied up by something important."
"What?" Lou Yi was somewhat surprised.
"My dad told me, hehe." Bi Yaoyao, clearly excited to convey the message, came over to leak the news.
"Yaoyao, thank you."
Lou Yi, feeling touched, grabbed Bi Yaoyaoâs hand.
Seeing the other partyâs face turn red, yet not breaking free, he continued to proceed.
Caressing her smooth and cool arm, pulling her into his embrace, he continued moving upwards to higher, steeper ground.
âPa!â
Lou Yiâs hand was mercilessly slapped away.
"Naughty rogue, Iâm heading back now!" Bi Yaoyao, face flushed, made a grimace at Lou Yi, then hurriedly fled from the âYanboâ cave abode.
"Hey, for someone so wealthy, sheâs not very generous," Lou Yi shook his head, criticizing.
âWith Elder Wang away, itâs a great opportunity to travel. It seems like itâs time to return to Pingâan Village.â
âHundred Herb Valley and Pingâan Village happen to be not far away, I can take care of it all simultaneously.â
