Chapter 465: Chapter 3: Heaven-Sent Baby Girl

Seven days later,

Deep within the mountains.

"Awooo..."

The wolf howl resounded endlessly, its chilling intent terrifying all who heard it.

As the howl grew closer, a streak of golden light pierced through the forest, leaping among rocks, streams, and grass.

Its speed was so fast that the naked eye could only see afterimages.

Fast!

Fast!

Yuan Zhongdao’s forehead was drenched in sweat, the Crane Walking Body Technique pushed to its limits, yet he dared not relax in the slightest.

The golden light flitted behind him, getting ever closer.

"Swish!"

Yuan Zhongdao lightly tapped a branch with his toes, and as power exploded, the branch shattered instantly as he soared high.

In mid-air, he extended his arms, like a flying crane in the sky, his form changing unpredictably.

The miraculous body technique changes left the golden light chasing empty air.

"Damn beast!"

Yuan Zhongdao landed, shouting angrily:

"Enough already, isn’t it?"

"Awoo!"

The golden light revealed itself to be a giant wolf with a golden coat.

It was larger than ordinary wolves, comparable to a fierce tiger, and its whole body glowed with golden light, even its fangs were golden.

It seemed enraged, roaring at Yuan Zhongdao and lunging again.

Man and wolf chased and fled, drawing closer to a pool, instinctively causing the giant wolf’s eyes to flicker with doubt.

Its form paused.

"Sensitive!"

Just then, a hearty voice rang out:

"Too bad, you’re already late!"

Before the voice fell, a thick smoke suddenly arose, covering the surroundings and instantly causing the giant wolf to lose its sense of direction.

"Rise!"

Shangguan Duo stood atop a magic altar, donned in a magic robe, holding a peach wood sword, his expression solemn as he pointed with the sword:

"Weak Water Spell!"

Several spirit talismans on the altar trembled slightly, then turned into streams of water, merging into the ground.

Soon after,

The ground around the giant wolf became slippery and sticky, like a swamp, making it difficult to move.

A subtle yet lethal suction drew the giant wolf’s limbs downwards, trapping it.

Mages are not suited for close combat.

If approached closely by martial artists, no matter how powerful, they couldn’t display their skills.

But with enough time to prepare, a mage could easily annihilate several martial artists of the same cultivation base.

Just like now.

The giant wolf’s eyes flashed with panic, leaping back and forth in the talisman-formed swamp, yet unable to escape the mist’s coverage.

"Swish!"

A figure appeared in the mist.

The newcomer wielded a staff as thick as a cobblestone, advancing through the mud, sweeping the staff outward.

Mountainbreaker Staff!

The giant wolf lowered its head, thrusting forward suddenly.

"Boom..."

The staff and head collided, sounding like a temple bell, the loud noise deafening, as man and wolf both retreated violently.

"Damn beast!"

Fang Mansion’s head guard Duan Qiongqi had eyes wide, shouting:

"Take another strike from me!"

In this encirclement of the wolf demon, Yang Meng stayed at the training ground and couldn’t come, Lu Zhi had just been injured and needed to recuperate.

So he assisted Shangguan Duo.

Compared to Lu Zhi, Duan Qiongqi excelled more in martial arts, and with a lethal weapon, could withstand the wolf demon.

"Boom!"

"Clang..."

Man and wolf clashed continuously, unable to gain the upper hand.

"Swish!"

In the midst of the stalemate, an object flew towards them.

It was an irregular sphere the size of a chicken egg, with nine holes, through which air flowed.

As it neared, the airflow inside suddenly intensified.

"Quack!"

A strange cry caused a violent upheaval, the swamp erupted in mud, and the giant wolf was left dizzy and disoriented.

Duan Qiongqi had prepared, sealing his spiritual aperture beforehand, and took the opportunity to step forward and strike at the wolf’s legs.

Wolf.

Stick-like legs, tofu waist.

As long as the vital points are hit, the damage will greatly increase.

"Boom!"

The staff struck the wolf’s leg, and Duan Qiongqi only felt a tremendous shock, immediately sensing danger, fiercely swinging his staff to retreat.

"Swish!"

"Puff puff..."

In pain, the giant wolf’s body shook violently, golden lights shot out, spurring in all directions.

Where the golden light passed, rocks were easily sliced, trees severed, and even the mist was significantly affected.

"This is..."

Duan Qiongqi’s face was filled with astonishment:

"Innate Divine Techniques, Gold Sword Energy?"

There aren’t many demons with innate divine techniques, and they have immense potential.

"Awoo!"

The giant wolf howled, abandoning Duan Qiongqi, who nearly broke its leg, pouncing straight into the depths of the mist.

Unlike ordinary beasts, it was a demon with opened spiritual apertures and knew well who the most important target was.

The one who trapped it here!

Taking advantage of the stirred mist, the giant wolf turned into golden light, heading straight for the magic altar.

"Charge!"

Yuan Zhongdao, holding a long sword, stood with six heavily armored warriors in front of the magic altar, roaring in response.

"Bang!"

The first to strike was the prepared crossbow arrow.

Arrows a ruler long, with the power to pierce gold and stone, quickly enveloped the attacking giant wolf.

"Ting ting tang tang..."

The result was unexpected.

The arrows hit the giant wolf but only stalled its assault, unable to break the defense.

"Awooo!"

The giant wolf roared, pouncing again.

Its form was incredibly fast, like a mass of golden light leaping into the midst of seven warriors.

"Boom!"

"Clang..."

The golden light burst forth, causing the seven to retreat violently.

Yuan Zhongdao’s wrist trembled, staring in shock at the broken sword in his hand, the heavy armor on the other six also covered in cracks.

This demon...

It’s even more formidable than expected!

The seven formed a battle array, yet couldn’t hold for even a few breaths?

As the giant wolf neared, about to reach him, Shangguan Duo furrowed his brows, intending to use a Life-Protecting Talisman.

But in the next moment,

His expression relaxed.

A majestic figure appeared in front of the magic altar, inactive yet naturally reassuring.

Fang Zheng!

Facing the giant wolf turned golden light, Fang Zheng slowly raised his hand, pressing forward gently.
