Xiang Xueer, Li Yunyang, and Lan Ran Qingtian stood back to back to guard against the ambush of the Demon Wolves. However, these creatures seemed hesitant to approach too closely, occasionally sending a few to test their defenses.
Xiang Xueer scanned the surroundings; this time, the gathering of Demon Wolves was larger than before, at least numbering in the tens of thousands. If these beasts were present, then the damned Wolf King must be nearby.
A howl that shattered the valley echoed from the hillside opposite them. Instantly, the wolf pack seemed to receive a signal and surged forward in a frenzied attack towards the three of them.
Xiang Xueer's blood-red eyes glinted with cold light as she swept her Azure Wind Sword, instantly taking down a group of Demon Wolves. At the same time, Lan Ran Qingtian and Li Yunyang joined in, and after a few swift moves, the beasts began to circle around them.
Her eyelids twitched slightly; this situation was not looking good. The numbers were overwhelming. As the old saying goes, two fists cannot fight four hands. At this rate, they would surely be devoured by these beasts sooner or later.
In an instant, a chill crept up behind her. She quickly turned her head and saw a massive Demon Wolf over two meters tall charging towards them with bloodthirsty red eyes.
"Watch out!" Xiang Xueer screamed in horror. The Demon Wolf moved too quickly; before the three could react and prepare their defenses, it had already knocked Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian to the ground.
"Let go of me, you damned beast!" Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian shouted as they struggled against the Demon Wolf's claws that pinned them down, rendering them immobile. Helplessly, they swung their swords at its legs in an attempt to fight back.
Bang! The claws of the Wolf Demon felt as solid as iron; they could not budge an inch. Seeing her companions being held captive, Xiang Xueer rushed forward to help. However, the Demon Wolf's eyes rolled as it let out a howl that parted the wolf pack between the two men and immediately turned its attack towards Xiang Xueer.
"Get away from me, you filthy wolves!" Xiang Xueer roared, swinging her sword back and forth as piles of Demon Wolf corpses began to accumulate around her. Breathing heavily, she turned to look ahead but found no trace of Li Yunyang or Qingtian.
The wolf pack scattered in an instant, leaving Xiang Xueer frozen in place. The air had long lost the presence of her two companions and was now filled with the gradually fading stench of wolves.
Damn it! She had been tricked; the wolf pack was merely a distraction! Furious, Xiang Xueer kicked one of the mangled Demon Wolf corpses away in frustration. How could it have come to this? She had been so vigilant but never expected that the target of the Wolf King would be Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian.
Why did they capture them? Normally, it would have been easy to take the lives of two people in an instant. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?
No matter, I must find them quickly; otherwise, their lives will be hard to predict. Xiang Xueer turned and chased after Lian Cheng Xue and the others. From a distance, Gunaara and the others had already been waiting for them nearby, but upon seeing her return alone, they were surprised.
"What happened? Where are Brother Li and Qingtian?" Lian Cheng Xue looked at the extremely pale Xiang Xueer with concern. After a moment, she frowned and began to blame herself: "It's all my fault for not noticing their conspiracy. Li Yunyang and Qingtian were captured by the Wolf King!"
"What?" The others gasped in shock, their hearts beginning to feel uneasy. After a while, Lian Cheng Xue looked at Xiang Xueer and said, "Shirley, don't blame yourself. Let's hurry and catch up; maybe we can still rescue them!"
Now there was no other choice; only two days remained. She worried whether they would encounter more obstacles and miss the chance to light the Light of the Sun and Moon. However, there was no time to waste; they needed to act quickly!
The four of them followed the traces left by the Wolf King as they tracked him down. By dawn, they finally reached the Snowy Mountain Summit. Xiang Xueer looked up at the vast snow-covered mountain ahead and her expression darkened: "What’s going on? How did we end up back here?"
She wrinkled her nose and sniffed the air; she could indeed smell Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian's scents, but there were also other unfamiliar scents that made her frown deeply.
"What's wrong, Shirley?" Lian Cheng Xue turned to Xiang Xueer and asked quickly when she saw her troubled expression. "Did something happen?"
"Hmph!" Xiang Xueer snorted coldly and pointed with her chin at the sky ahead: "Your master seems quite busy; his shadow can be seen wherever he goes."
"Master?" Lian Cheng Xue was taken aback. She looked up ahead and indeed saw Feng Qingyang riding the Qilin Beast. His opponent was none other than the Demon Lord.
It turned out that Master had already found the Demon Lord. Looking at the surrounding devastated terrain indicated that this battle had been going on for quite some time. However, it was strange that Feng Qingyang seemed to be at a disadvantage. Wasn't this Demon Lord injured? How could he recover so quickly, looking even stronger than before?
As they spoke, there was a loud bang as the Demon Lord struck the back of the Qilin Beast with a palm. Following that was a mournful beast cry as Feng Qingyang plummeted rapidly from the sky.
"Oops!" Lian Cheng Xue shouted anxiously, raising his leg to rush forward, but Xiang Xueer quickly stopped him: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to help! My master is in danger!" Lian Cheng Xue said, gripping the sword in his hand. Xiang Xueer shook her head and pointed to the opposite side: "You take Gunaara and Duck to find Chasing Wolf King first, rescue Qingtian and Li Yunyang, but be careful. Leave the old man to me!"
Upon hearing this, Lian Cheng Xue couldn't help but worry: "Shirley, this Demon Lord is very powerful, and you still have old injuries. You must be extra careful!"
"Stop the nonsense! There's no time! You all hurry to find Li Yunyang and Qingtian. I'll handle things here!" After saying this, Xiang Xueer quickly formed hand seals, bit her finger, and struck the ground: "Summoning!"
Amidst the smoke, Taotie appeared. She rode Taotie and rushed alone towards the battlefield ahead. Watching her leave, Lian Cheng Xue quickly led Gunaara and Duck around the mountain towards the direction of the cave.
After fighting for a whole day and night, Feng Qingyang and the Demon Lord were already somewhat exhausted. Even the Qilin Beast that had followed him for many years could not escape death.
Feng Qingyang had just stood up from the ground when he was suddenly struck hard on the back by a palm. The Demon Lord grinned triumphantly: "Old man, today I'm going to take your life!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand to cover Feng Qingyang's head. Suddenly, a flash of light pierced his eye, and a sword shot between the two of them.
The Demon Lord quickly moved away from Feng Qingyang and turned to look at the sky, only to see Xiang Xueer standing on Taotie's forehead, holding the Azure Wind Sword and angrily shouting at the ground.
"Dead Girl, it's you again!" The Demon Lord gritted his teeth in hatred upon seeing her. Every time it was this damn woman who ruined his plans; today he absolutely could not let her live in this world any longer.
A howl came from inside the cave where Wolf King was located, and a cold smile appeared on the Demon Lord's lips: "Little girl, are you sure you want to oppose me?"
