The Way to Break the Deadlock Was Actually the Blazing Azure Wolf?

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Die Ting monitored every move within the Spirit Ascension Platform, silently evaluating Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Gu Dong Feng's performance.

[Xiao Yu's Second Soul Skill is powerful enough, but it consumes too much. Still, I never arranged for Dong Feng to be beside the Spirit Ascension Platform's guardian! Dong Feng was randomly dropped right next to the guardian on his own. His luck is truly terrible. But if Xiao Yu isn't leaving, does she have some other plan?]

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Qian Gu Huang Yu led Qian Gu Dong Feng as they fled, hunting isolated soul beasts along the way and devouring them to restore her Soul Power.

Although the Forest Mammoth wanted to kill the two of them, and its offense and defense were far ahead of others at the same level, it had a fatal weakness: it was too slow.

Thus, even while fleeing for her life, every soul beast Qian Gu Huang Yu killed along the way, as well as those stunned by the Forest Mammoth, became stepping stones for her recovery.

With King Ghidorah's speed and regenerative abilities, Qian Gu Huang Yu had not only shaken off the Forest Mammoth's pursuit, but had nearly fully recovered her Soul Power.

"We finally got away."

Seeing that the Forest Mammoth had long since vanished, Qian Gu Dong Feng said with lingering fear.

Of course, what surprised Qian Gu Dong Feng the most was the ability Qian Gu Huang Yu had displayed. This entire escape had not only failed to worsen her injuries, but had even allowed her cultivation to break through.

"Brother, do you know where there's a large soul beast pack nearby?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked.

"There's a Blazing Azure Wolf pack to the north. Why?" Qian Gu Dong Feng answered instinctively. This was naturally not his first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, so he was well acquainted with the distribution of certain soul beasts.

"Then let's go there."

After roughly half an hour of travel, Qian Gu Huang Yu finally found the Blazing Azure Wolf pack Qian Gu Dong Feng had mentioned.

The Blazing Azure Wolves resembled blazing wolf-shaped flames. Their bodies were orange-red, while their wolf eyes were an eerie deep blue. Even meeting their gaze was enough to send a chill down one's spine.

In a forest filled with green, clusters of running flames were truly eye-catching.

At the same time Qian Gu Huang Yu discovered the Blazing Azure Wolf pack, they discovered Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Gu Dong Feng as well.

The Blazing Azure Wolves on the outskirts immediately let out loud howls to warn their packmates.

Yet Qian Gu Huang Yu had no intention of stopping them at all. More and more Blazing Azure Wolves gathered before her, almost surrounding them.

"Xiao Yu, why don't we leave the Spirit Ascension Platform right away?" Seeing that things were going wrong, Qian Gu Dong Feng hurriedly urged.

Although no Thousand-Year Blazing Azure Wolves had appeared yet, the number of Blazing Azure Wolves gathered before them had already exceeded one hundred!

And that number was still rising rapidly!

A hundred Hundred-Year Soul Beasts—even Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qian Gu Qing Feng working together would not be confident of taking them down. All they could do was run.

Qian Gu Huang Yu remained unmoved, as though she had set her heart on challenging the Blazing Azure Wolf pack.

Qian Gu Dong Feng sighed helplessly, gripping his Coiled Dragon Staff as he stepped in front of Qian Gu Huang Yu. He understood Qian Gu Huang Yu's reckless fearlessness. When he had first entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, he too had intended to take on a soul beast pack alone.

[She should be fine after experiencing this once. At the very least, I need to buy Xiao Yu enough time to use the escape device and leave the Spirit Ascension Platform. Dying in here doesn't feel good at all!]

Once their number exceeded two hundred, the Blazing Azure Wolves stopped gathering. This was probably every member of the pack capable of fighting.

At that moment, a Blazing Azure Wolf nearly five meters long slowly approached Qian Gu Huang Yu and the other. The surrounding Blazing Azure Wolves instinctively parted, allowing it to walk straight up to Qian Gu Dong Feng.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Qian Gu Dong Feng's cheek. He saw the wolf's appearance clearly. Unlike the orange-red flames covering the other Blazing Azure Wolves, this Blazing Azure Wolf was wreathed in dark blue flames!

It was a Thousand-Year Blazing Azure Wolf King!

"Xiao Yu, in a moment—"

Before Qian Gu Dong Feng could finish, Qian Gu Huang Yu yanked him behind her. As Qian Gu Dong Feng stared in astonishment, Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly let out a strange, resounding dragon roar!

The Blazing Azure Wolves, which had been standing ready, instantly panicked. Their bodies trembled unnaturally, as though struggling against something terrifying.

Even the Thousand-Year Blazing Azure Wolf King seemed unsettled. The dark blue flames around its body flickered erratically.

"What... is this?"

Qian Gu Dong Feng was stunned by the scene before him. He had never imagined that a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster could so easily affect such a large group of Hundred-Year Soul Beasts.

One had to know that for a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster, being able to kill a single Hundred-Year Soul Beast alone was already considered a respectable achievement. Controlling so many at once was even more inconceivable.

But the Blazing Azure Wolf King was a Thousand-Year Soul Beast after all. It immediately regained its composure and let out an angry wolf howl.

As the Blazing Azure Wolf King's roar echoed through the forest, the many Blazing Azure Wolves were freed from their fear. However, a trace of instinctive dread still remained in their eyes as they looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu.

This is bad.

The moment Qian Gu Dong Feng saw that the Blazing Azure Wolves had all broken free from Qian Gu Huang Yu's influence, he immediately realized something was wrong. But before he could react, something even more shocking happened.

Qian Gu Huang Yu and the Blazing Azure Wolf King actually stepped forward at the same time, confronting each other. The other Blazing Azure Wolves retreated in unison, leaving ample space for Qian Gu Huang Yu and the Blazing Azure Wolf King.

"Brother, leave the rest to me."

Qian Gu Dong Feng froze for a moment. He should have been the protector, and the reversal of roles left him somewhat unaccustomed to it. But he quickly adjusted. After encouraging Qian Gu Huang Yu, he retreated, showing her the utmost trust.

After the irrelevant parties withdrew, the Blazing Azure Wolf King did not rush to attack Qian Gu Huang Yu. Instead, it slowly circled her, waiting for her to reveal an opening.

When the Blazing Azure Wolf failed to attack for so long, Qian Gu Huang Yu beat her dragon wings at once, leaving a streak of golden lightning in the air as she rapidly closed in on the Blazing Azure Wolf King.

Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu throw herself into its trap, the Blazing Azure Wolf King leaped into the air. The flames on its right claw boiled and condensed, and the sudden heat wave made even Qian Gu Dong Feng, who stood far away, feel slightly uncomfortable.

Yet Qian Gu Huang Yu remained unmoved. A dark purple whip wrapped in lightning suddenly appeared in her delicate hand. She lashed it forward, instantly sending the Blazing Azure Wolf King flying!
