Chapter 171 Ironback Cangwolf
In the outer thirty miles, there was basically only the presence of sub-Xuan Beasts, and after Yun Che had gone all the way deeper into the thirty miles, a True Xuan Beast or a slice of it began to appear in his sight, and the ground became bumpy and uneven, with all sorts of withered trees and short mountains becoming more and more dense.
As rumored, the Xuan Beasts here were all extremely manic in nature, and when they saw humans, they would pounce on them as if they had seen an undying enemy. Most of the initial encounters were low level True Xuan Beasts, not Yun Che’s targets, he avoided them if he could along the way, and those that he couldn’t avoid were exterminated, and so he continued forward without any fear or danger, and when he passed through a small piece of black wood and withered forest, in front of him, there suddenly came human voices and the sound of fighting, accompanied by the sound of Xuan Beasts roaring angrily.
“Senior Brother Ding, quickly block its back path, don’t let it escape!”
“It’s about to hold out! Don’t ever let up!”
“Senior Sister Mu, quickly back off, it’s going to go berserk and will injure you!”
Yun Che walked out of the black forest, not far ahead, there were four people besieging an Xuan Beast, the Xuan Beast was large in size, scaly armor all over its body, with a sharp unicorn horn growing on its head, judging from its aura, it should be a Higher True Xuan Beast.
The four people surrounding it were all very young, three men and one woman, the one who looked the oldest was around twenty-three years old, with a Xuan power of True Xuan Realm Level 9, the other two men were also in their early twenties, with Xuan powers of True Xuan Realm Level 5, and the young girl who was called “Wood Sister” was of a similar age as Yun Che, only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a Xuan power cultivation of the weakest, only entering the True Xuan Realm for the first time. The girl who was called “Senior Sister Mu” was similar in age to Yun Che, only 17 or 18 years old, and her Xuan power cultivation was the weakest.
From the way they were addressed, they should be from the same sect. With their age matching their Xuan power cultivation, the sect they were from must not be weak, or at least famous, otherwise they wouldn’t have dared to break into such a deep place with just four people.
Since that young girl had the weakest Xuan Li, she was thus protected by the three people on the periphery, only occasionally participating in attacks when it was safest to do so. The besieged unicorn had thick skin and flesh, and was protected by scale armor, but it couldn’t withstand the combined attacks of four True Xuan Realm Xuan practitioners, not to mention the fact that there was also a True Xuan Realm Level 9 powerhouse amongst them, its body was already covered in bloodstained wounds, and its counter-attacks were getting weaker and weaker, and in the end, it directly gave up on counter-attacks and struggled to escape.
“Hmph, trying to escape! Watch my Wind and Cloud Sword!”
The oldest young man let out an explosive shout and flew up, the longsword in his hand rolled up a ferocious sword momentum, directly punching the unicorn that was trying to escape over onto the ground, landing on all fours. After he landed on the ground, he again catapulted forward like an arrow off the string, and his long sword stabbed out ferociously, straight through the unicorn’s throat.
The unicorn let out a wailing roar, its whole body spasmed for a moment, and then it no longer moved.
“Wow! Senior Brother Sun, you’re too powerful! Such a powerful Xuan Beast was knocked down by you in three or two hits.” The young girl called “Senior Sister Mu” was named Mu Xiaoling, and as she looked at the fallen unicorn, her eyes flashed with admiration.
The person who stabbed the unicorn to death was named Sun Zhou, he was the oldest and the one with the highest cultivation among these four people, after hearing Mu Xiaoling’s words, he laughed and said, “Sister, you are too kind, it’s not that I’m powerful, it’s just that this Xuan Beast is too weak. Senior sister’s talent is much better than mine, by the time she reaches my age, exterminating this unicorn must be much faster than me.”
His mouth sounded modest, but his eyes flashed with a smug color as he instructed the other two, “Senior Brother Ding, Senior Brother Han, take out its Xuan Dan.”
Senior Brother Ding and Senior Brother Han hurriedly moved forward together and sliced open the unicorn’s body, and within a short time, they skillfully took out the Xuan Dan.
“Well, with this Xuan Dan and thirteen more True Xuan Beast’s Xuan Dan, our mission this time will be complete. I believe that this time, we will definitely be the first team to complete the mission, and Master will definitely praise us greatly.” Taking the Xuan Dan, Sun Zhou said with a face full of complacency.
The two senior brothers immediately came forward and patted their asses, “This is all thanks to the bravery of Senior Brother Sun, otherwise, we won’t be able to complete the mission in three more days. To be able to be assigned to the same group as senior brother Sun, we are really too lucky.”
Senior brother Sun nodded his head and said with a proud face, “Where where, this is the result of our efforts together, the two senior brothers are still young, their future achievements will definitely not be worse than senior brother me …… Oh?”
Sun Zhou at this moment suddenly saw Yun Che who had walked out of the Blackwood Withered Forest and was walking this way. Originally, seeing a silhouette of a person, or coming alone, his heart was instantly wary …… because anyone who dared to come here alone was either an expert or an idiot. But after seeing Yun Che’s age and probing his Xuan Power, he laughed disdainfully and whispered, “Another idiot who doesn’t know how to die.”
He had just finished mocking in a low voice when the nearby Senior Brother Ding suddenly let out a low cry, pointed at Yun Che, and said excitedly, “Senior Brother Sun, quickly …… look at his left hand! Purple ah …… purple spatial ring!”
In the midst of his cry, Sun Zhou’s gaze landed on top of Yun Che’s left hand, and then stared dead-on at the bit of purple light between his fingers, unable to move away for half a day as deep greed flowed from his eyes.
“A purple space ring? Is it better than our space ring?” Ding Xiaoling lifted the yellow space ring on her hand and said with some confusion.
“Of course it’s better, and much better!” Senior Han whispered excitedly, “Our spatial ring only has a few squares of storage space, whereas the purple spatial ring, which is said to have hundreds of squares of storage space, costs more than five million Huang Xuan coins! It’s simply not comparable to our yellow rings. I’ve never seen several purple space rings in my life. This kid, he must be a disciple of some great family, there’s no telling how many goodies he has in his purple ring.”
“Senior brother, do you think we should ……” said Senior Brother Han while gesturing a cutting motion on his hand.
Sun Zhou had this thought as early as the moment he saw the purple ring, not only was this person wearing the purple ring only at True Xuan level 4, he was also alone, it was simply a big fat sheep that fell from the sky. If it was outside, he would definitely not dare to get any ideas, because if you can afford to use a purple ring, you must have a great origin. But this was the Death Wasteland, and countless people died in it every year due to robbing each other. It could almost be said that there was no half risk in killing him here.
That Sun Zhou was just about to nod his head when Mu Xiaoling came over and said in exasperation, “Senior Brother Han, how could you have such thoughts! We come from a prestigious sect and are out for training, not bandits who kill and kill and are full of evil! If you guys really dare to do this, I will definitely tell Master! If Master finds out, he will definitely punish you severely, and may even kick you out of the Sect!”
Sun Zhou’s complexion changed, and he immediately nodded his head in a serious manner, “Senior Sister is right, Senior Brother Han, how can you have such despicable thoughts! This matter, senior sister won’t agree to it, and neither will I. If you really dare to plot against him, I’ll be the first to step in and stop you.”
“Still, Senior Brother Sun is the most decent.” Mu Xiaoling said adoringly.
Senior Han shrunk his neck and snapped, “Don’t be angry, senior brother and sister, I …… I was just casually joking, just joking.”
Getting Ding Xiaoling’s praise, Sun Zhou’s waistboard straightened a few more points, and coldly hummed, “We come from the first sect in Jiangbei, Xuan Sword Sect, and we have to maintain the sect’s reputation as the first code of conduct, not only can’t bully people and have evil hearts outside, but when we encounter a weakling, we also have to take the initiative to help each other out. This little brother’s Xuan power is only at the fourth level of the True Xuan Realm, yet he came here alone, it’s really too dangerous, at this time, we should step forward to help.”
As he spoke, Yun Che had already walked not far from them. Sun Zhou took two steps forward and said with a righteous face, “This little brother, it should be his first time coming to the Death Wasteland, right? It’s too dangerous to come to this place alone, how about joining us? We are all young people, so we can communicate well with each other, and we can also take care of each other.”
Yun Che glanced at him and saw deep-seated greed from the depths of his eyes, secretly letting out a cold laugh and faintly skimming down two words, “No need.” Then he continued forward without looking back.
“Che, Senior Brother Sun considered a righteous strike for his life, this brat actually still doesn’t know how to behave, just wait for death!” Seeing that Yun Che had actually refused, Senior Brother Ding said with disdain.
Sun Zhou didn’t say anything, the muscles on his face twitched slightly for a few moments, and looked at Yun Che’s back in an undying manner …… With Mu Xiaoling in the room, he broke off the idea of directly killing Yun Che, preparing to pull him together, and then find an opportunity to pull Yun Che alone, kill him and then make the illusion of being killed by a Xuan Beast, and the Purple Ring would have successfully arrived! Unexpectedly, when he had intentionally revealed his True Xuan Realm Level 9 strength while shouting just now, this person had flatly refused.
“True Xuan realm level 4? He looks about the same age as me, but his Xuan power is surprisingly so high!” Thinking of Sun Zhou’s words just now, Mu Xiaoling said in surprise, “And using such an expensive spatial ring, he must be from a very large clan or family, right?”
Sun Zhou turned around and said with a disdainful face, “It should be. But what I despise the most is these disciples of big families and clans. Because their xuan power is all hardened by various pills, it’s not solid at all, unlike us who practiced step by step, although his xuan power is at the fourth level of the True Xuan Realm, if he were to fight, he really wouldn’t be able to beat his senior sister.”
“Ow~~woo~~~”
While Sun Zhou was speaking, a long wolf howl suddenly came from the black forest at the back, and with that, a huge blue shadow violently sprang out from the black forest, charging straight towards the four senior siblings.
This blue shadow was more than three meters tall, with red eyes, claws like steel hooks, and a thick gray back, releasing an extremely berserk aura all over its body. The four people had just raised their weapons in preparation to meet the battle, and once they saw the full appearance of the blue shadow, their faces immediately revealed a look of extreme horror.
“Iron …… Ironback Cang Wolf!”
“Isn’t this …… the area of True Xuan Beasts? How could a Spirit Xuan Beast appear …… Senior Brother, what should we …… we do?”
“What are you still standing here for! Don’t run yet!” Sun Zhou roared, pulled up Mu Xiaoling, and scurried away as fast as he could. The Ironback Cang Wolf was a low-grade Spirit Xuan Beast, it was simply not something the four of them could deal with. Its wolf claws and teeth that were sharper than steel could easily tear through their Xuan Force defense and bodies.
Under Sun Zhou’s loud roar, Ding Han and the two of them also woke up as if from a dream, let out a strange cry and fled backward in a lifeless manner.
But their speed, how can they compare to the Ironback Cangwolf, in the blink of an eye, Senior Brother Ding and Senior Brother Han two people have been caught up, Ironback Cangwolf let out a roar, the huge body of the two people at the same time will be pounced on the ground, the wolf claws shot down, such as through the tofu general will be two people’s body directly pierced.
Two people let out a fearful scream, and then white eyes rolled over, no consciousness, do not know whether it is seriously injured to death, or directly by the shock fainted.
“Ah! Senior Brother Ding, Senior Brother Han!!!” The tragic screams of the two caused Mu Xiaoling to let out a terrified scream. Her voice also caused the pair of bloodshot eyes of the Ironback Cangwolf to lock onto her and Sun Zhou, and with a low roar, it ran wildly like a bolt of blue lightning, and in an instant, it had closed the distance between them.
“Senior …… brother! What do we …… do …… do,” Mu Xiaoling desperately ran, but the threat of death behind her was getting closer and closer.
Sun Zhou looked back and realized that the Ironback Cangwolf was already less than ten steps away from them, and was immediately scared out of his skin, he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Senior sister, you first block …… I’ll call for someone to come to save you right away!”
After saying that, he pushed Mu Xiaoling violently backward and pushed towards the Ironback Cangwolf, while he himself ran forward lifelessly.
“Senior brother …… you!!!” Mu Xiaoling never dreamed that Sun Zhou would push her towards the Ironback Cang Wolf in order to save his life. She fell to the ground and closed her eyes in despair.
Bang!
Ow roar!!!
The feeling of being pounced on and torn apart by the Ironback Cang Wolf did not hit her, and after despairing, she heard a loud thud and a scream, and she slowly opened her eyes to see the back of a teenager standing in front of her, dressed in luxurious clothes. Above his back, he was carrying a huge iron sword diagonally.
And the iron backed pale wolf was already more than ten meters away, and was rolling on the ground in a sorry state.
It was him …… Looking at this back, she remembered that this was the teenager who had just walked away.
Sun Zhou, who was fleeing, turned around and saw this scene, and immediately burst into ridicule: ”This kid, really looking for death …… But it is also just right to give the old man to buy the time to escape! It seems like the heavens don’t want me to die.”
The iron backed pale wolf that was knocked away quickly climbed up on the ground, its bloodshot eyes looked straight at Yun Che, and its body erupted with an even more violent and hostile aura than before before before, and then with a roar, separated by a distance of nearly twenty meters, it lunged over in the air with a breathtaking aura.
Yun Che’s eyebrows twisted as he suddenly jumped up as it approached, leaping to the top of the Ironback Cang Wolf, his heavy sword pulled up from his back and wheeled downward with a blast ……
Click!
The reason why the Ironback Cangwolf was called the Ironback Cangwolf was because its back was as tough as an iron plate, and it was the strongest place of defense on its body. However, under Yun Che’s heavy sword blast, its steel-like spine was instantly smashed, emitting a sound so crisp that it was almost deafening.
