In the heart of the old tree, Ning Daoran felt as if he were facing a great enemy, a sense of terror that was unimaginable looming over him!
The presence of Zhou Yanran being torn from the heart was incredibly terrifying!
If his guess was correct, it must be a Third-tier Middle-level Demon Beast, its strength even stronger than that of a typical mid-stage Golden Core Human Clan member!
Ning Daoran dared to ambush an Early Stage Baodan Martial Artist, but when faced with a mid-stage Golden Core Demon Beast, he could only avoid its sharp edge.
âŚ
At that moment, Zhou Yanranâs body slowly fell down, her garment turning blood-red.
...
The shadow appeared immensely large, resembling a wolf, with some similarities to the Shadow Demon Wolf lying on the ground.
The only difference was the golden pattern on its forehead, whose demon aura was incomparable to that of any Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
âYouâŚâ
Liu Mubai clearly held a sword and shield in his hands, but at this moment facing the huge shadow, he didnât even have the courage to resist.
The next second, the shadow surged forward, smashing into Liu Mubaiâs body.
âBuzzââ
Liu Mubai trembled, and his pupils shockingly turned into a pair of golden vertical ones!
âPossession?!â
Ning Daoran was dumbstruck, not daring to make a sound.
At this point, Liu Mubaiâs aura had completely changed, no longer at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment but swirling with the aura of the Mid-stage Golden Core.
The thick Demon Qi flowing made this Peak Master of Bixia Peak of Jiuyun Sect neither human nor demon.
âHmphâŚâ
He looked down at the two bodies on the ground.
Ignoring the body of his wife, Zhou Yanran, his gaze, however, fell on the Paperfolk.
âHuh?â
He seemed to have noticed something. Suddenly, he vibrated his palm, and instantly, all the mana on the Paperfolk dissipated, reverting to a severely damaged piece of Paperfolk.
At the same time, the strand of Divine Soul injected into the Paperfolk was caught in his hand.
âThis is badâŚâ
Ning Daoranâs heart leapt in fear!
Inside the Divine Soul, a slight pain echoed. The strand of Divine Soul injected into the Paperfolk was also a part of Ning Daoranâs own Divine Soul.
At this moment, that Divine Soul was trying hard to struggle back to its master.
âSo this is itâŚâ
Liu Mubai scoffed, suddenly releasing the Divine Soul, and at that instant, the strand of Divine Soul darted toward Ning Daoran.
âDamn it!â
Ning Daoran was shocked, hastily utilizing the Earth Escape Skill to burrow into the soil.
âSo there was another person.â
Liu Mubai laughed wickedly, chasing with his sword, âLittle guy, although your cultivation is not as good as the two just now, your Divine Soul is truly powerful. Your flesh must taste even more delicious, right?â
The next second, a grayish mist descended from the sky, landing directly on Ning Daoranâs shoulder.
Immediately, Liu Mubai also plunged into the ground, chasing him even faster.
âItâs over!â
Ning Daoranâs heart quaked violently. He quickly threw out several Class A Paperfolk to distract attention.
But the possessed Liu Mubai was not swayed, fixating solely on Ning Daoranâs true body.
Ning Daoranâs heart sank into despair.
The opponent was a Third-tier Middle-level Shadow Wolf King, a true king among demon beasts, probably no less formidable than the Vajra Giant Ape of Nanlu Valley.
Moreover, this Shadow Wolf King possessed some Earth attributes.
When it came to Earth Escape, it had a bloodline advantage, actually faster than his Return to Nature Level Earth Escape!
âBang!â
Ning Daoran leapt from the soil, transformed into a Tunneling light and shot toward the distance!
Using the Return to Nature Level Wind Riding Leisurely Technique, his Tunneling speed was extraordinarily fast, transforming into a streak of light in the sky.
Even ordinary Human Clan mid-stage Golden Core cultivators couldnât match this Tunneling speed!
âGood lad!â
From behind, the Shadow Wolf King snarled with a sinister laugh, âBut do you think you can shake off this lord by doing that?â
The windâs Liu Mubai, with exploding Tunneling light, made a thunderous noise that shook the heavens and the earth!
âHoly shit!â
Ning Daoranâs eyes nearly bulged out, hurriedly pulling out a Second-Order Divine Speed Talisman and activating it!
Quickly, he created dozens of miles of distance.
But he couldnât shake off his pursuer, the Shadow Wolf King moved extremely fast, catching up quickly after the Divine Speed Talisman wore off.
âThis is badâŚâ
Ning Daoran was starting to regret. He shouldnât have been greedy for those Dust-falling Grass; indeed, behind a great opportunity must lie great danger.
Who would have thought that guarding those Ten-thousand-year-old Dust Grass would actually be a terrifying Third-tier Middle-level Wolf King!
Before long, Ning Daoran used the second Divine Speed Talisman!
âKid, do you think you can escape?â
The voice of the Shadow Wolf King was stubbornly haunting.
âŚ
A day and a night later.
Ning Daoran ran desperately, occasionally using a Divine Speed Talisman.
His body was like a stream of light in the air, continuously darting and accelerating, yet he was never able to completely shake off his pursuer.
As a result, his mana consumption was enormous.
At this point, he could no longer conceal it, his body glowing with a greenish light.
The Evergreen Technique churned vigorously, drawing Spiritual Energy from the surrounding world, continuously generating new mana within his body to compensate for what was consumed.
âNot right!â
Behind him, the voice of the Shadow Wolf King suddenly turned very sharp, saying, âKid, did you actually cultivate the Fifteenth Layer of Evergreen Technique?â
Ning Daoran kept silent, continuing desperately to sprint.
He had even planned to discard the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven and let Big Stupid Deer escape alone.
âOw ow ow~~~â
Big Stupid Deer knew that today was more dangerous than when they had encountered a Nascent Soul.
Although the Nascent Soul was powerful, it ultimately couldnât match Ning Daoran in escape techniques.
But the Shadow Wolf Kingâs innate divine ability was inherently related to wind, earth, shadows, and tunneling speed, so this time, Ning Daoran truly couldnât escape!
âYoung man!â
The Shadow Wolf Kingâs voice resounded directly in Ning Daoranâs heart, âLetâs make a deal. Use your Evergreen Technique to heal an old friend of mine.
If you can heal him properly, I will let you go and also gift you several stalks of the Ten-thousand-year-old Dust Grass. What do you say?â
Ning Daoran wasnât new to the Cultivation World.
Such worthless promises couldnât be believed at all.
As long as he held even the slightest value, the Wolf King would ultimately not let him goâhow could there be a way out?
He continued to run fiercely, his mana inside gradually beginning to deplete.
âHmph!â
Behind him, the Shadow Wolf King let out a cold laugh, âEven if you possessed the ability to reach heaven and pierce the earth, you couldnât escape from the palm of my hand, so why bother struggling like this?â
By then, Ning Daoran had likely already run beyond the Qingzhou Border.
Though he had the Fifteenth Layer of Evergreen Technique as his foundation, the mana in his body was burnt up by the tunneling light, leaving not a drop remaining.
He didnât even have a chance for a last stand.
âOld LuâŚâ
He gave a helpless smile, âWhether we brothers can continue our cultivation journey, we can only leave it up to fate this time.â
âOwâŚâ
Big Stupid Deer let out a mournful cry.
Behind them, a vast shadow swept past, and immediately Ning Daoran lost consciousness.
âŚ
He didnât know how much time had passed.
When Ning Daoran slowly awoke, he found all his mana had been sealed, and he was being carried in the hand of âLiu Mubai.â
âDonât rush, weâre almost there.â
The voice of the Shadow Wolf King echoed in his heart.
Ning Daoran frowned but did not speak.
His divine sense introspected, finding that the liquid magic power in his Dantian had gathered somewhat again.
Although this magic power was sealed and couldnât be used, the Evergreen Technique still vigorously circulated, continuously producing more mana for his body.
Ahead, a range of overlapping mountains and forests appeared.
The Shadow Wolf King flew straight into them, a prohibition dispersed, and thereafter a huge Cave Mansion appeared at the front.
The Cave Mansion of a Third-tier Demon Beast, ordinary cultivators had no chances of entering; Ning Daoran however, got embroiled in it.
After flying into the Cave Mansion, âLiu Mubaiâ lifted the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven from Ning Daoranâs waist.
He narrowed his vertical pupils to glance into the Cave Heaven, attempted to break the prohibition but found it extremely complex, then scoffed, saying, âThis item seems very important to you, Iâll help you keep it safe.
Once you heal my friend thoroughly using the Evergreen Technique, naturally, I will return this item to you.â
Deep inside the Cave Mansion.
A massive creature emitted a sob, lying extremely weak on a stone platform.
It was a Shadow Wolf King with golden patterns on its forehead; this was the true body of the Wolf King.
âI think you figured it out.â
Liu Mubai threw Ning Daoran to the side, sneered, âThis is my true body! Hmph, wouldnât have ended up so miserably if the Feng Valley White Sheep hadnât had the advantage of time and location during our battle.â
Ning Daoran frowned, this guy was injured by the Feng Valley White Sheep?
That made more sense now; demon beasts also fought over resources and territories.
And since the Feng Valley White Sheep was a Third-tier Late Stage Demon Beast, it was normal for the Shadow Wolf King not to match him.
But the Shadow Wolf King daring to challenge the leader of the Five Saints Sect, Feng Valley White Sheep, also showed how strong he was.
âWait a moment.â
âLiu Mubaiâ slightly smiled, âOnce two of my friends arrive, with their protection, you can start healing the body of this seat, also during this time, you can properly recover some of your mana.â
Ning Daoran kept silent, tacitly agreeing with the otherâs words.
Under someone elseâs roof, one must bow; whether he spoke or not made no difference.
As long as Ning Daoran refused to heal him, the Shadow Wolf King would surely kill him without hesitation.
âŚ
Several days later, two incredibly powerful Golden Core Demon Qi arrived.
Ning Daoran looked towards the entrance of the Cave Mansion, two figures entered one after another.
The one in front was an old man in a blue robe with faint fish scales on his neck, a sign of an incomplete transformation.
Among the demon beasts, those who cultivated to the Third-tier could transform into humans.
However, early-stage Third-tier monsters had an incomplete transformation.
This was a Fish Demon, Third-tier Early-stage, carrying a hint of fishy smell.
The other was an old man in a green robe with a deep, profound aura.
It was a transformed vine demon, also in the Third-tier Early-stage, exuding a scent of grass and wood.
âThank you, fellow Daoists, for your protection.â
Liu Mubai bowed with a smile, âThis is the young friend who has cultivated the Evergreen Technique beyond the tenth layer, he will soon begin healing me, please keep a close watch!â
âNo trouble at all, if you ask, we must certainly help!â
âŚ
âYoung friend, shall we begin?â
Liu Mubai stepped forward, and a strand of shadowy brilliance surged out from his body, seeping into the body of the Shadow Wolf King.
The moment the Wolf King opened his eyes, he swept his claws across, cutting the now worthless Liu Mubai into several pieces.
âYoung friend?â
Both the Fish Demon and the Vine Demon looked over with sinister smiles on their faces.
