Enemy Attack
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gradually stabilized, which meant that Yang Tianyou had passed the most dangerous moment and was just waiting to complete the entire Bloodline Metamorphosis before he could become Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
However, if there is external interference during this process, there is still a high chance that the attempt will fail. Moreover, cultivators who are breaking through do not have much strength to resist, which is why cultivators seek the help of relatives and friends to Dharma Protector them during the breakthrough.
At this moment, Yang Tianyou's breakthrough aura had been leaking out for quite some time, and slowly, an inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the cliff.
With the Concealment Array broken and the aura of the Fire Vein no longer concealed, this cliff became like a beacon in the darkness, attracting malicious gazes from all directions.
"Aww!"
Desolation and proud wolf howl, carrying the powerful aura of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, swept out.
In the dead of night, under the bright moon, the Wolf Ancestor stood atop the mountain, howling like Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon, instantly intimidating many demons and monsters.
However, the Huafeng Mountain Range are no longer what they used to be. Although the Foundation Establishment Late Stage are powerful, they are far from enough to intimidate everyone.
In addition, there are those who want to take advantage of the chaos, and more and more "Hyenas" are gathering in the vicinity.
Boom!
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, someone made the first move: a large fireball, burning with intense flames, streaked through the air in a long line of fire, heading straight for the Wolf Ancestor.
The fuse for battle was lit, and the other ill-intentioned cultivators could no longer hold back and joined the fray.
"Kill it! Kill this old wolf and take its Inner Core and flesh!" A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivator grinned cruelly as he wielded a black, demonic-glowing nail towards the Wolf Ancestor.
"Court death!"
Having just dodged the fireball attack, the Wolf Ancestor faced the incoming demonic nails without flinching or dodging, instead slashing down with its claws.
Bite!
The metal clashed with a clang, and the demonic nail flew backward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wolf Ancestor leaped into the air, transforming into a phantom, and pounced.
Brush!
At that moment, a pale white sword light silently attacked from the side and behind, like a ghost in the night, silent and still. By the time he reacted, it was only inches away from him.
This is an assassination sword, stealthy and swift, giving no one a chance to react.
However, Wolf Ancestor had an incredibly rich combat experience, having followed the Yang Household through generations of battles in the north and south for over two hundred years. He had encountered countless opponents, and this was merely a small scene in comparison.
It twisted its body in mid-air, swept its tail, and with a loud crack, it drew out the air with a deafening sound, demonstrating the force of the blow.
Bang!
The sword light was interrupted by the attack, but the Wolf Ancestor's forward pounce remained unchanged, its pupils flashing with chilling killing intent, and it fiercely opened its mouth to bite down.
Aww!
The Desolation howl of the Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon, resounded once more, and a wolf's head, over ten zhang in size, appeared under the starlight, its fangs menacing and soul-stirring.
The Devil Cultivator opposite him finally changed his expression and hurriedly took out a black altar, holding it protectively in front of him.
Click!
The wolf's head snapped down, shattering the black altar, but it did ultimately save the Devil Cultivator from disaster.
The latter, heartbroken, retrieved his precious item, then cursed at the void, "You damned bastards, if you don't make a move, I'm leaving!"
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, please calm down. This beast is troublesome, and we need to observe it for a while. We did not mean to treat you poorly."
A soft laugh came from the darkness, and a man in black wearing a headscarf slowly stepped out. Judging from his aura, he was clearly at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
In addition, the assassin who had previously attacked the Wolf Ancestor also emitted a wisp of energy, indicating his presence.
The appearance of the man in black made Wolf Ancestor frown. Unlike the previous two, this guy's aura made it sense danger.
"Well, not bad. But did you notice this?" the man in black murmured, waving his right hand lightly.
Brush!
A throwing knife, like a black lightning bolt, ripped through the sky and pierced the Wolf Ancestor's hind leg with a soft thud, causing blood to splatter.
"When?"
Wolf Ancestor bared his teeth, his heart sinking slightly. Although his injuries weren't serious, how had this guy managed to hide the throwing knife so close to him?
The Purple Moon Wolf Clan's perception is absolutely top-notch among Demon Race of the same rank, but even so, the Wolf Ancestor only vaguely sensed something when the flying knife was launched, yet he was still injured by it.
"Not bad, you were able to detect something. Now I'm even more interested in you!" the man in black said, waving his hand again, and the throwing knife reappeared.
The demonic Xiu He and the unknown assassin were not idle either, and they both attacked Wolf Ancestor. For a time, the latter was in great danger, mainly because the black-clad man's attacks were unpredictable and tied up too much of Wolf Ancestor's energy.
The good news is that it seems the man in black couldn't use any other abilities while activating the black throwing knife, which relieved Wolf Ancestor. If that's the case, there's still a chance to fight.
On the other side, three Foundation Establishment engaged the Wolf Ancestor, while the rest of the "Hyenas" revealed themselves and rushed towards the Fire Vein Cave.
Soon, inside the Magma Cavern, the Yang Household Cultivators engaged in a fierce battle with the attacking enemies.
Hold head high!
A resounding Dragon Roar echoed through the spacious cave. A lifelike fiery Flood Dragon danced in the air, its power surpassing that of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator thanks to the incredibly rich Fire Vein Spiritual Qi.
Yang Danglong, dressed in a black cloak to conceal his face, exerted all his strength to control the Formation and fight against the attacking enemies.
Roar!
An angry tiger's roar reverberated in my ears. It was a saber-toothed tiger whose entire body was shrouded in ice crystal energy. It came from the Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan and its cultivation had reached the Second-Tier Middle-Grade.
Deep within the scorching Fire Vein, the ice-attribute demonic tiger was extremely agitated, its eyes bloodshot as it fiercely battled the soaring fire Flood Dragon.
Besides the demonic tiger, there was also an Immortal Dao in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, whose face was hidden under a bamboo hat, clearly not wanting to reveal his identity.
Faced with this Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the six Qi Refining of the Yang Household were clearly outmatched, but they fought desperately to slow him down.
Protected by Yang Danglong's Formation, they were unharmed for the time being, but it was hard to say what would happen after a while.
Besides the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were more than a dozen Qi Refining in the Late Stage Qi Refining stage, including Barbarian Tribe, Devil Cultivators, Immortal Dao, and Evil Dao. They ignored the Foundation Establishment fighting and focused solely on attacking the Five-Element Conversion Formation, hoping to disrupt Yang Tianyou's breakthrough.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One attack after another bombarded the Five-Element Conversion Formation. Although the Formation had some defensive function, that was not its main purpose. It was quickly cracked.
Seeing this, the dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators became even more excited, and their attack frequency increased significantly.
Bang!
Finally, the Formation shattered!
The sky was filled with streams of light that fell into the cave, and even the Foundation Establishment who were fighting, as well as Yang Tianwang and others, turned around to look.
However, before these enemies could rejoice, a pair of sharp Spirit Eyes, interwoven with platinum and gold, slowly opened amidst the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
