Ling Yunxiao vs. the Hurricane Demon Wolf

At the same time, Ding Lao San, Chen Chen, and Cheng Hao charged into the Gale Wolf pack.

"Third Soul Skill—Whirlwind Sweep!"

Ding Lao San held the Nine-Toothed Rake as a purple Soul Ring rose around him. The rake spun nonstop, sweeping across the battlefield, sending one century- and thousand-year Gale Wolf after another flying. Their bodies burst apart, shredded flesh scattering everywhere.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Sword Rain!"

Chen Chen's Seven Kill Sword split into several hundred blue swords of energy, like Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, carrying a deadly attack as brilliant as cherry blossoms as they flew into another pack of Gale Wolves.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Wind Riding Divine Eagle!"

A purple Soul Ring lit up, and Cheng Hao, hovering in the air, transformed his Soul Skill into one green-white giant eagle after another that charged into the wolf pack. Soul Power exploded, leaving the wolves dead and wounded across the ground.

Ding Lao San and Chen Chen were both Soul Emperors, while Cheng Hao was a Soul King. Comparable to Beast King Level spirit beasts, they held an overwhelming level advantage over these Gale Wolf packs, directly reversing the Black Moon Wolves' decline and even gaining the upper hand.

The Gale Wolves could only rely on their advantage in numbers to resist.

In front of the cave at the Rest Camp, a figure radiating tremendous pressure stepped rapidly through the air and landed before Chen Xiaojun.

"What's this? You seem very quiet." The newcomer was none other than Chen Yu, who smiled faintly.

When Chen Xiaojun had gone to the woods for his first training experience, Chen Yu had not only arranged for Chen Wu, an Agility Attack Type Soul Master, to protect him at all times, but had also notified Ling Yunxiao to be ready to provide support at any moment over the past few days. Otherwise, why would a high-level Soul Sage need to guard the gate? Even a Soul Emperor would have been luxurious enough.

He himself had also slept without taking off his clothes, just in case. He had not expected an accident to really happen, though it had not been Chen Xiaojun's accident.

The moment he saw the signal, he immediately flew over.

"Grandfather!" Chen Xiaojun stood upright solemnly and replied, "If you overestimate yourself, you'll always end up harming both others and yourself."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, a flash of approval passing through his eyes.

"Grandfather, aren't you going to support Uncle Wu?"

"Someone has already gone. It's only two or three hundred Gale Wolves. There's no need to make such a grand show of it. Don't you want to go take a look now?"

"I do! But I still can't disturb everyone."

The light in Chen Yu's eyes brightened a little, and he said with a smile, "Let's go. Your grandfather can still protect you without any problem."

With that, he took out the Seven Kill Sword and enlarged it. After signaling for Chen Xiaojun to get on, he flew toward Black Moon Ridge.

Wind Cloud Fan, top-tier Seventh Grade Spirit.

"Third Soul Skill—Cloud Diffusion!"

Within ten zhang of Ling Yunxiao, a mass of cloud and mist enveloped the area, obstructing vision. Moreover, the Soul Power of hostile creatures within the mist would slowly dissipate.

The Demon Wolf leader, whose vision had been disturbed, let out a howl. Then strands of dark green Soul Power wrapped around it, and in an instant, it vanished.

"Hm?" Ling Yunxiao froze for a moment.

Wolves had keen senses of smell. Ordinary wolves alone had a sense of smell one hundred times stronger than humans, and their hearing was highly developed, among the best in the animal kingdom. Even if their night vision was obscured, they could still quickly locate the enemy.

"Uncle-in-law, be careful! That's the Hurricane Demon Wolf's Rapid Shuttle!"

Before Chen Wu's words had even finished, Ling Yunxiao, who unlike Chen Wu—who had been flying on his sword the entire time—was standing there gathering Soul Power, was suddenly sent flying backward. A clear claw mark appeared on his left shoulder.

Then five dense dark green sword blades tracked the still-backpedaling Ling Yunxiao. Ling Yunxiao leapt into the air and swung his fan, sending out the rotating Soul Power sphere he had just condensed on it. With a boom, he managed to block the wind blades.

But the Hurricane Demon Wolf leapt directly high into the air, braving the exploding Soul Power, and appeared in front of Ling Yunxiao, revealing its green-gray claws.

Ling Yunxiao spun and flung his fan toward the Demon Wolf. The Demon Wolf tilted its head aside, taking the blow by force as one claw pierced into Ling Yunxiao's chest, determined to kill one enemy first even if it was wounded.

With the Hurricane Demon Wolf's size, its claw covered Ling Yunxiao's entire chest.

"Uncle-in-law! Fourth Soul Skill—Seven Kill Extinction!"

Chen Wu's purple Fourth Soul Ring lit up, and the Seven Kill Sword glowed with a shadowy blue light, different from its usual azure. A streak of cold light like a bolt of silk suddenly flashed through the air, shooting at extreme speed toward the Demon Wolf leader like an arrow.

Ling Yunxiao gripped the Demon Wolf's "giant claw" tightly with both hands, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Wind Cloud Mist Lock!"

Beams of wind mixed with misty chains of air continuously wrapped around and bound the Demon Wolf. Judging by the situation, not only was the binding force powerful, it also seemed to have a freezing, restraining effect on the Demon Wolf's Soul Power.

But that Ling Yunxiao's figure was also gradually fading. This was Ling Yunxiao's Fifth Soul Skill—Fan Shadow Split, which could create a clone with seventy percent of his Soul Power.

Clone-type Soul Skills were not illusions. They could even use Soul Skills. This was a rare skill, and a Ten Thousand Years Soul Skill at that.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Wind Cloud True Body!"

"Azure Sea Sky Fan!"

In the sky, a human-shaped phantom held a fan twenty-three or twenty-four meters long. The fan changed from its original pale white to a dazzling azure-green.

The fan stabbed down. The Azure Sea Sky Fan tore through the sky like a streak of blue lightning, carrying a ferocious gale that made even space ripple. The shrieking sonic boom was dull and unnerving.

This was a fan-strike Soul Skill Ling Yunxiao had created himself based on the Chen Clan's Sword Control Technique ultimate move, Sword Light Azure Sea Sky Sword.

Because the Demon Wolf had been gripped tightly by Ling Yunxiao's clone and could not use its Soul Power, it first took Chen Wu's Seven Kill Extinction.

Seven Kill Extinction not only had a Soul Power attack, but also carried a mental attack. On the spot, it let out a miserable howl, blood spraying everywhere. It wilted, its feet slipping beneath it, somewhat unable to stand steady.

Gale Wolves were very small, yet this Demon Wolf leader was only around four and a half meters long as well. It had no way to dodge the twenty-plus-meter Azure Sea Sky Fan flying toward it at high speed.

At the moment its life was in danger, the Hurricane Demon Wolf opened its bloody maw and spat a wind cone toward the Azure Sea Sky Fan. The cone rapidly expanded, turning into a giant wind cone three zhang wide as it slammed into the Azure Sea Sky Fan.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." Deafening booms rang out nonstop as powerful waves of air pressed downward, pinning the demon wolf leader in place.

In that hurried moment, the Soul Power the demon wolf leader had gathered still was not enough. The Azure Sea Sky Fan, reduced by the wind cones until only five or six meters remained, still stabbed into the demon wolf's body.

The demon wolf was smashed straight to the ground. A massive wound had been gouged into its body, blue-brown blood flowing from it, while thin streams of blood also trickled from its eyes, ears, and mouth. It slowly climbed back up, its entire body swaying unsteadily. It seemed its injuries were rather serious now.

"Granduncle's combat strength and wit are both amazing. He actually tricked the Hurricane Demon Wolf," Chen Xiaojun murmured to himself as he stood on the sword in midair.

"Your Granduncle Yun Xiao has always been graceful, dashing, quick-witted, and clever.

The key was that his move just now, Cloud Diffusion, looked like a mistake, making the Hurricane Demon Wolf think it had an opening and look down on him. In truth, it was a trap.

Otherwise, in a proper, straightforward head-on battle, even if your granduncle joined hands with Chen Wu, they might not necessarily have been able to defeat this outstanding specimen among Hurricane Demon Wolves.

His martial soul, the Wind Cloud Fan, is also top tier—a martial soul with wind, water, and ice attributes. It was taught personally by your Grandmother Han Xin's father, your Great Uncle, and fused with our Chen Clan's secret sword-riding techniques, so its combat power is naturally extraordinary.

Besides, fan-type martial souls all emphasize the unity of softness and hardness, of yin gentleness and yang force; rigidity and flexibility complement one another. If you encounter this type of martial soul in the future, you'll need to be extra careful," Chen Yu explained from the side.

As for your Recommendation Tickets and collections, I'm rubbing my hands together in anticipation, heh heh heh.
