Dugu Jue

With Hand Speed Scroll was torn open, revealing countless Profound Mysteries Runes that gathered on Niu Geng's hands. Niu Geng could feel a warm, mysterious power, and the waving of his hands became even more rapid.

Originally, Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Niu Geng's technique of scattering Hidden Weapons was already incredibly fast. With this Hand Speed Scroll, the Attack Speed increased by 250%, leaving afterimages in Niu Geng wake as countless densely packed Hidden Weapons rained down like a storm...

Blood splattered, screams echoed. The Hungry Wolf that had already climbed to the top of the mountain and were closing in on Niu Geng and his group were suddenly suppressed. Moreover, Niu Geng pushed them back. Often, for every Hungry Wolf that climbed up, two others would fall. The dense pack of Hungry Wolf fell like grass being cut down, leaving corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood. Their Attack Speed increased by 250%, Niu Geng's density of launching Hidden Weapons was faster than three times his own speed.

"So... so strong..." Zi Xiang's eyes widened as she watched Niu Geng's hands transform into a blur of shadows, unleashing a dense barrage of hidden Hidden Weapons and swarms of fallen Hungry Wolf. She gasped in shock.

Although Niu Geng's cultivation level was only at the Qi Cultivation Realm Seventh Layer, at this moment he had transformed into a killing machine. His Attack Speed and killing ability deeply shocked even Zi Xiang. Standing behind Niu Geng, Zi Xiang realized for the first time that Niu Geng's back seemed to be broader than she had imagined. She had never thought that this honest and simple-minded Niu Geng, who was almost foolish, would actually possess such abilities.

The Hand Speed Scroll could only be maintained for a mere half a minute. Although Niu Geng slaughtered thousands of Hungry Wolves in that half minute, Niu Geng speed decreased after that. Moreover, an even more serious situation occurred: in that half minute of unleashing his power, Niu Geng threw away all the few remaining Hidden Weapons he had.

Without Niu Geng's Hidden Weapons, how many Hungry Wolves could Zi Xiang kill with just her Dagger? Watching the wolves, which had just been driven back, climb up again fearlessly, Niu Geng and Zi Xiang exchanged a glance. They were at their wits' end. After holding out for so long, their poison had been exhausted by these Hungry Wolves, and now they were truly at their wits' end.

"I never imagined that I, Zi Xiang, would end up dying alongside a simple, honest, big guy like you," Zi Xiang shook her head, her voice filled with unspoken emotion.

Niu Geng remained silent, only looking down at his palms, closing his eyes, and letting out a soft sigh. Had he really died here after all? Thinking of the Tang Sect of Shu, he realized he still longed to return, leaving only endless regret in his heart...

Call out!!!

A dazzling arrow suddenly appeared, embedding itself directly in front of Niu Geng and Zi Xiang. The brilliance of this arrow seemed to Sun and Moon Lose Their Luster. Passing through the dense wolf pack, a path of blood, flesh, and shattered bones appeared. At the other end, Zhuge Xiang put away his Hundred Refinements Bow...

Hua Nongying used the Ghostly Shadow Step, moving like a ghost, wielding Dagger to slay one Hungry Wolf after another. Lu Yuling sat on the Bear-shaped Mechanical Puppet, charging around wildly, Zhang Kuang Spear vibrating wildly, her movements tight and impenetrable. The four of them went all out, arriving in front of Zi Xiang and Niu Geng in an instant.

"They... they really made it back?" Looking at Zhuge Xiang and the other three, who were covered in blood as if they had been pulled out of Blood Pool, Zi Xiang Niu Geng speechless. Niu Geng was right, Zhuge Xiang and the others had indeed come, charging through the thousands of wolves without regard for their own safety.

The imagined Hungry Wolf pounced on him but didn't come. Niu Geng opened his eyes and saw Zhuge Xiang standing in front of him, apologizing, "I'm sorry, something happened at the Altar, I'm late."

"Haha, it's good that you're here." At the last minute, Zhuge Xiang finally arrived. A sense of relief at surviving a disaster made Niu Geng laugh out loud.

Lu Yuling moved with Soaring Wave Steps speed, her figure swift and unpredictable, like Heavenly Steed Soaring Across the Sky galloping through the air. Niu Geng, seated atop the Bear Puppet, provided cover, while Zhuge Xiang and the others rushed down the mountain...

Zhuge Xiang's Piercing Arrow, combined with the effect of Arrow Intent, Overwhelming Momentum. Even Low Grade Two-Star Demon Wolf would be pierced through, let alone ordinary Hungry Wolf and Mutated Demon Wolf. With the Piercing Arrow clearing the way, the Bear Puppet charging around, and the crucial moment when Zhang Kuang threw out the Poison Dragon Drill, the group quickly rushed down the mountain and rode off into the distance...

After fleeing for half an hour, the ordinary wolf pack had been lost. Without Demonic Qi, ordinary wolves could not have lasted that long. However, hundreds of Demon Wolves were still following closely behind.

Ahead, the Three Great Clans of Monster Riot, and behind them, hundreds of Demon Wolves were in pursuit. Zhuge Xiang and his group resorted to their old trick, trying to cross the river by waterway, with no intention of entering the forest.

However, a figure emerged from the woods, seemingly casual, as if taking a leisurely stroll, but his speed was unexpectedly fast, and he arrived in front of Zhuge Xiang and the others in an instant.

"Shrinking Earth to an Inch, a footwork technique only available on the Martial Arts Pavilion Fourth Layer," Lu Yuling said softly, her eyes flashing slightly as she looked at the figure that had emerged.

The Martial Arts Pavilion Fourth Layer? That's a level only disciples at the Void Splitting Realm can reach! This figure approaching is actually at the Void Splitting Realm? Inner Core Disciple?

"Are you with Zhuge Xiang's group?" The man approached Zhuge Xiang and his companions as if taking a leisurely stroll, speaking calmly, yet his words conveyed an air of superiority.

Looking at the man, his Magic Artifact gleamed, and he carried a long sword on his back. Even before it was drawn, one could feel the chilling Sword Qi and the incredibly powerful Qi Energy rushing towards him, giving one a sense of oppression, like looking up at a towering mountain, making it difficult to breathe. He appeared to be in his early twenties, and his appearance bore a striking resemblance to Dugu Ming. Having passed through the forest, he must have encountered an attack from the Three Great Clans of Monster Beast, yet his clothes were completely wrinkle-free.

"So what if it is?" Judging from the other party's appearance, his identity was already obvious. Zhuge Xiang stepped forward and answered, while Zhang Kuang and the others also focused their attention, ready to make a move at any time.

At that moment, the Demon Wolf caught up from behind. There were hundreds of Demon Wolves, most of them were only One-Star, but the quantity was enough to make a qualitative change.

With a clang, no one saw how Dugu Jue's sword was drawn. A dazzling Sword Light flashed, followed by nine sharp Sword Qi shooting out. The chilling Sword Qi seemed capable of cutting one's eyes.

Amidst screams, nine incredibly sharp Sword Qi cleaved the ground, creating nine cracks nearly a hundred meters long. Over a hundred charging Demon Wolf were all severed by these nine Sword Qi. With just one strike, over a hundred Demon Wolf were killed. The Inner Core Disciple, with his cultivation at the Void Splitting Realm, possessed terrifying strength.

The Void Splitting Realm! This is the Void Splitting Realm, the Qi Refining Stage Fourth Realm. With all Meridians open and Qi Energy released outwards, it is enough to kill targets from a distance. Although the Demon Wolf are extremely ferocious, with one strike, more than a hundred Demon Wolf were killed, and the remaining Demon Wolf hesitated and dared not step forward.

Killing over a hundred Demon Wolf with a single strike seemed like a trivial matter to him. Dugu Jue glance at the Demon Wolf that dared not approach, but instead turned to Zhuge Xiang and said calmly, "Dugu Ming was with you. Why are you alive when he is? You can go now."

Did Dugu Ming die at their hands? He didn't ask. In Dugu Jue's view, it was unacceptable that Dugu Ming was dead while they were still alive. Even if Dugu Ming didn't die at their hands, they should still be dead. As for the cause of Dugu Ming's death? Leaving one survivor would always provide a way to find out.

The dazzling Sword Qi reappeared, pointing directly at Zhuge Xiang. The incomparably sharp Sword Qi seemed to have nothing that could stop it, giving people a feeling of invincibility.

The difference between the Void Splitting Realm and the Body Tempering Realm is two whole realms, as vast as heaven and earth. The opponent attacked too quickly; Zhuge Xiang didn't even have time to draw his Blade of Blockade before being cleaved away by the Sword Qi and crashing into the wolf pack.

"Zhuge Xiang!!!" Suddenly, Niu Geng was shocked to see Zhuge Xiang being cleaved away by the Sword Qi. He cried out in alarm. The others also looked extremely solemn. With his cultivation at the Void Splitting Realm, no matter how strong Zhuge Xiang was, he was doomed.

"No need to call him anymore, I'll take you to see him," Dugu Jue said calmly, long sword in hand. With only the Body Tempering Realm cultivation, Dugu Jue didn't believe Zhuge Xiang could still be alive, and there was no need to even confirm it.

Was Zhuge Xiang dead? Yes, how could someone with only the Body Tempering Realm withstand an attack from a Void Splitting Realm expert? Keep in mind that he didn't even have time to draw his Blade of Blockade. However, Dugu Jue clearly didn't expect that Zhuge Xiang would possess a powerful Magic Artifact, even though it was only Two-Star Magic Artifact.

Decoy Cloak (Two-Star Artifact): Defense 10-13, Unique Active: Transfers any attack to the cloak. After use, the cloak is destroyed and disappears. Durability 1026, Weight 4.

The Decoy Cloak's defense wasn't high, but its effect was extremely powerful. When Zhuge Xiang was hit by the Sword Qi among the wolf pack, the damage was completely transferred to the cloak. The cloak on his back turned into fragments and scattered, completely destroyed. Fortunately, Zhuge Xiang was unharmed.

Surrounded by wolves, Zhuge Xiang knew perfectly well that although he had survived this attack by sheer luck, he still had no chance of turning the tide against a cultivator at the Void Splitting Realm. The Phantom Clone Scroll might save his life, but Niu Geng, Lu Yuling, Zhang Kuang, and the others would all be killed.

What to do? With such a vast difference in strength between those at the Void Splitting Realm, even the most ingenious battle plan would be ineffective.

"It seems I have no choice but to take a gamble..." The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Zhuge Xiang. He landed on the ground and, without waiting for the surrounding wolves to pounce, he already had a plan in mind.
