Partridge Whistle Blocks the Path, Zhong Bai Slays the Wolf Demon

How can flesh and blood possibly stop lightning?

With just a single bolt, the Wolf Demon's sharp claws were pierced through, and foul-smelling blood gushed out. However, the Wolf Demon was in no state to care about its injuries at that moment.

It sensed that the human before it was terrifying and beyond its capability to handle. Instinctively, the Wolf Demon leaped backward!

It jumped, heading straight for Zhong Bai, soaring ten meters through the air. Seeing this, Zhong Bai frowned. A terrifying surge of vital energy erupted from him. With five thousand catties of strength, Zhong Bai was absolutely confident he could punch the Wolf Demon to death.

With one punch, a strong gust of wind howled past. The Wolf Demon's pupils dilated. In the nick of time, it somehow used the void for leverage and tried to escape by grazing Zhong Bai's head.

"Cunning beast!"

The launched fist seamlessly transformed into a claw. Zhong Bai grabbed at the Wolf Demon's chest, intending to capture it, but the Wolf Demon wasn't foolish. It endured the intense pain as Zhong Bai's five fingers tore through the skin and flesh of its chest and abdomen, leaping over Zhong Bai's head.

It landed, crashing heavily to the ground. Disregarding its injuries, the Wolf Demon painfully struggled to its feet and fled directly out of the cave.

At this, a cold smile appeared on Zhong Bai's lips.

"Naive beast, killing you with one punch would be too easy. Dying slowly in fear, that's the price you should pay…"

Zhong Bai wasn't annoyed. His True Essence was abundant. Being at the peak of the fourth layer of Qi Condensation was enough for Zhong Bai to continuously use the Thunder Escape Technique to keep up with the Wolf Demon, preventing it from escaping alive. Therefore, Zhong Bai was in no hurry.

In the forest, a black figure swiftly darted through the trees, disregarding the thorns that snagged at its flesh. The Wolf Demon only wanted to escape farther, much farther.

Its right front paw had already been pierced by lightning. The fur was gone due to the scorching, and after fleeing all this way, its right front paw was almost numb.

However…

Compared to its right front paw, its abdomen was its fatal wound!

After Zhong Bai's five fingers had slashed, the skin was ripped open, and even a section of its intestines was exposed.

If the Wolf Demon hadn't used its shallow demonic power to forcibly resist, it might have been disemboweled by Zhong Bai on the spot.

Even if it had fortunately escaped the cave, after half an hour of running, the Wolf Demon's blood was almost drained.

It knew it had reached its limit. Its speed slowly decreased, but it dared not stop.

It limped along, while circulating its demonic power to suppress its injuries…

Thousands of meters behind it, Zhong Bai followed at a leisurely pace. Seeing the clear pointer on his Demon Seeking Compass, Zhong Bai knew that the Wolf Demon had stopped fleeing.

"Running for an hour, truly a Wolf Demon. To endure such injuries for so long, what a pity it's all in vain…"

Zhong Bai said, then continued to follow.

Unbeknownst to it, the Wolf Demon had crossed the boundary from the shadowy side of West Mountain and entered the Bottle Mountain area.

All around, the forest was dense, blocking out the sunlight. On the dark, damp ground, poisonous insects occasionally crawled out.

But how could the Wolf Demon care about these things?

With a crack, as the Wolf Demon's fur suddenly bristled, three figures slowly walked towards it from the front.

"Senior Brother, is there really an ancient tomb hidden in this Bottle Mountain, with a Phoenix Gallbladder?"

The Phoenix Gallbladder, also known as the Muchen Pearl.

It was a natural jade bead, the size of a chicken egg, entirely red like fire, impervious to all poisons, and capable of supplementing yang and dispelling yin.

Legend had it that the Phoenix Gallbladder contained the essence of fire, making it one of the most extremely yang objects in heaven and earth.

The one asking was a young girl in her prime, though her dark-blue Daoist robe made her appear nimble.

Hearing this, Partridge Whistle felt somewhat helpless. His junior sister had asked this many times along the way.

How was he supposed to know the answer to that question?

He had merely heard a rumor, so he brought his junior siblings to investigate.

"Junior Sister, this question is difficult for Senior Brother to answer. But whether there is or isn't, we'll know once we enter the tomb."

Old Foreigner gave a bright smile. Hua Ling sighed, hearing this, and inadvertently looked up ahead. Her somewhat low spirits quickly changed.

"Senior Brother! Ahead!"

At the call of "Senior Brother," Partridge Whistle instinctively looked forward. Across the distance, a giant wolf, two to three meters tall at the shoulder, stared intently at them with an eerie gaze, a hundred meters away.

"Not good, Junior Brother, quickly take Junior Sister and retreat!"

A surge of malevolent energy made Partridge Whistle realize that the creature blocking their path was no ordinary giant wolf. It had very likely transformed into a demon.

Hearing this, Old Foreigner's eyes grew wary. He protected Hua Ling and retreated backward.

Hua Ling, however, was more observant and quickly noticed something amiss with the giant wolf ahead.

"Senior Brother, look at this giant wolf's abdomen!"

Upon closer inspection, Partridge Whistle's brows gradually relaxed. It turned out this giant wolf was already severely wounded.

With its gruesome wound and constantly dripping blood, it looked like the creature was at its last gasp.

As the leader of the Mountain Mover lineage, although Partridge Whistle hadn't cultivated profound techniques, he was skilled in hand-to-hand combat and possessed immense strength. Facing such a blood-soaked giant wolf, he showed no fear!

The Wolf Demon was on the verge of collapsing. It could sense the human following behind it the whole way. It had been holding onto hope, escaping for its life, but its path ahead was blocked by new humans.

If it were in peak condition, it could have easily torn the few people in front of it to shreds, but now…

Both wary and frantic, the Wolf Demon let out a furious roar. Waves of wolf howls echoed through the forest. Seeing this, Partridge Whistle, who was blocking the front, opened his Vajra Umbrella and moved in with the Roaming Dragon Eight Trigrams.

Seeing that its opponent wasn't retreating but instead advancing, the Wolf Demon's last shred of hope for survival completely shattered. Rage filled its mind; even if it died, it would drag the human blocking its path to hell with it!

Suddenly, the Wolf Demon transformed into a streak of black light, moving so fast that even Partridge Whistle, with his extraordinary experience, found it incredibly difficult to deal with.

Without time to think, the sharp blades of his Vajra Umbrella simultaneously slashed through the air. The moment they collided, a tremendous force erupted, sending Partridge Whistle flying back dozens of steps.

His blood and qi churned within him, and he spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, his gaze becoming cautious and wary.

As for the Wolf Demon, it now had several new wounds on its back from the sharp blades. However, at this point, the Wolf Demon was consumed by a desire for death and paid no mind to these injuries. Without stopping, it leaped up again, but this time its target wasn't Partridge Whistle.

Instead, it leaped over Partridge Whistle, heading straight for Old Foreigner and Hua Ling, who were a hundred meters away.

The black shadow streaked through the air. Partridge Whistle didn't even have time to stop it, only watching helplessly as the Wolf Demon soared over him.

Old Foreigner and Hua Ling, meanwhile, turned pale, almost as if they had resigned themselves to their fate…

Just as the Wolf Demon was about to reach the two of them, a purple lightning bolt roared out from behind it. The charging Wolf Demon was forced to stop.

The lightning exploded three meters in front of it, shattering rocks. This scene left Partridge Whistle and his two junior siblings stunned.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you beast certainly run fast. What a shame, though. That's all it is, just a death rattle in the end…"

A ethereal Daoist voice slowly approached. Zhong Bai, like a bolt of lightning, instantly appeared before the Wolf Demon. His five fingers formed a claw, gripping the Wolf Demon's neck tightly before lifting it into the air.

The terrifying force made it incredibly difficult for the Wolf Demon to breathe, and its limbs trembled and twitched uncontrollably.

Immediately after, a purple lightning bolt reappeared in Zhong Bai's palm. After a series of crackling sounds, the Wolf Demon's fur was completely charred black.

Filled with intense unwillingness and hatred, the Wolf Demon could only gasp its last breath and die…

[Killed a minor demon. Obtained 50 Exorcism Points.]

As soon as the Wolf Demon died, the Exorcism Panel in front of Zhong Bai began displaying information. Hmm, easy peasy, 50 points in the bank.

After everything was over, Zhong Bai finally looked at Old Foreigner and Hua Ling behind him. As for the somewhat dazed Partridge Whistle in front, Zhong Bai instinctively ignored him.
