Mysterious Heavenly Wolf

Aww!

The Black Wind Wolf was exceptionally cunning, keeping its distance from the two while remaining at a distance.

"If the Heavenly Moon Wolf kills Chen Fuhai while being entangled by this wolf, it will surely be able to track him down."

Lan Chang'an felt a murderous intent.

This Black Wind Wolf was clearly a lackey of the Heavenly Moon Wolf. It had been keeping a close eye on the two of them, and the scent it left behind along the way allowed the Heavenly Moon Wolf to catch up later.

"Daoist Zhao, please heal your injuries first."

Lan Chang'an had a sudden inspiration and let go of her hand.

Zhao Siyao was pale and weak in the legs. She barely managed to sit on the ground and used pills and ointments to heal her injuries.

Lan Chang'an, all alone, ran towards the Black Wind Wolf.

Black Wind Wolf has no fear of a lone Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

A dark shadow flashed, and sharp claws tore towards Lan Chang'an's abdomen.

Lan Chang'an activated a second-tier Talisman, creating a layer of earth to protect his body.

With a "bang".

The earthen mound trembled, and the light dimmed slightly.

Lan Chang'an remained completely calm. Over the years, his Body Refinement Art had improved considerably, making his physical body even stronger than that of non-scaled wolf-type Demon Beast.

This layer of earth is like steel armor covering iron clothing.

He unleashed his complete set of Law Artifact, the "Cold Iron Spikes."

Six slender, cold rays of light swiftly darted and circled around him within a ten-foot radius.

Each of these Cold Iron Spikes is a masterpiece among Mid-Grade Magical Artifact. When controlled by those with strong Divine Sense, its power rivals that of high-grade High-Grade Magic Item.

Ding! Ding!

The Black Wind Wolf flicked away with its claws, constantly dodging the Cold Iron Spikes, somewhat annoyed.

Lan Chang'an's Evergreen Mana is close to that of ordinary sect Cultivation Method, but not as good as that of Core Disciple, so he is not considered truly weak.

Moreover, Divine Sense is also a key factor affecting the power of Law Artifact.

Laugh!

One of the Cold Iron Spikes suddenly veered off course and grazed the Black Wind Wolf's belly.

A faint bloodstain was left behind.

The Black Wind Wolf howled, its body stiffened, and its venomous gaze fixed on Lan Chang'an.

The wound is very shallow.

But the Cold Iron Spikes were coated with a second-tier deadly poison!

Even if Demon Beast has a powerful physique, it will inevitably be affected to some extent.

Boom!

The soil beneath the Black Wind Wolf's feet broke open.

A giant orange-yellow rat with purplish fur extended a sharp claw, its edge gleaming coldly.

The Black Wind Wolf parried with its claws, not taking the Rat Demon seriously.

However, once they clashed, the Earth Rock Rat launched a ferocious attack, each claw more vicious than the last.

Aww~

The Black Wind Wolf was poisoned and weakened, only able to parry for a few breaths before a claw ripped open its abdomen, shattering its internal organs.

Snap!

The Earth Rock Rat smashed the wolf's head with another swipe of its paw, its brownish-red eyes revealing a greedy and bloodthirsty nature.

It turns out that Lan Chang'an wasn't the only one holding back.

The Earth Rock Rat had also been hiding some of its strength in the previous battles.

Due to its bloodline mutation, its true strength, especially in close combat, is much greater than imagined.

"Withdraw!"

Lan Chang'an recalled the Earth Rock Rat and retreated with Zhao Siyao.

"Use my Flying Boat."

Zhao Siyao took out a second-tier Flying Boat, which carried the two of them at low altitude.

"Daoist Zhao, is your leg injured?"

Lan Chang'an looked at her blood-stained white dress. Although she used her internal energy to apply medicine and stop the bleeding immediately, her legs remained stiff.

Lan Chang'an reached out and touched her through her skirt, her expression serious.

The leg injury was more serious than I thought; it was almost severed!

After the medicine was applied to stop the bleeding, it was forcibly wrapped in Law Power.

"Daoist Zhao, if your leg doesn't heal..."

Lan Chang'an hesitated, his expression showing reluctance.

"I would like to trouble Daoist Lu to help me correct my bone structure. Please do not be bound by formalities."

Zhao Siyao looked weak, but forced a smile.

She knew that if her broken leg wasn't repaired in time, she might become disabled.

The broken leg injury reduced her strength and mobility by more than half.

Once caught by the Heavenly Moon Wolf, their chances of survival are slim.

Lan Chang'an nodded and looked around.

They found a narrow, deep valley and the Flying Boat landed at the bottom.

Zhao Siyao sat on the Flying Boat, leaning against the mountain wall, almost paralyzed.

"Daoist Zhao, I apologize for the offense."

Lan Chang'an sat cross-legged in front of her and lifted her white skirt with his hand.

A pair of slender, glistening legs came into view.

Above that, her alabaster-like skin was stained with blood.

The broken bone wound, near the knee, was forcibly rejoined under the influence of Second-Order Injury Medicine and Law Power.

Click!

Lan Chang'an grabbed a slender, icy leg, used his strength to adjust the bones, and infused it with Evergreen Mana to heal and nourish it.

Even without consuming lifespan, the normal healing effects of the Evergreen Art are quite good.

Zhao Siyao groaned in pain, biting her lips tightly with her teeth, and closed her beautiful eyes.

Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat from the pain, but she remained silent.

Click!

Lan Chang'an then grabbed the other smooth, jade-like leg and did the same.

"Daoist Zhao's Second-Order Injury Medicine is of good quality; the situation is temporarily stable."

Lan Chang'an bandaged the broken bone.

"Thank you, Daoist Lu. Your Wood-Type Technique is very effective in healing."

Zhao Siyao opened her pretty eyes, her pale face flushed slightly, and forced a smile.

"Daoist Zhao, heal your injuries as soon as possible and recover some strength. We'll return to Yellow Dragon Immortal City at dawn."

Lan Chang'an said.

"It's dawn?"

Zhao Siyao immediately realized that without the moon during the day, the threat posed by the Heavenly Moon Wolf was significantly reduced.

"Daoist Lu, could the Heavenly Moon Wolf follow our scent and come after us?"

Zhao Siyao felt a vague unease.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf, after all, possesses Earth Grade Bloodline, and its abilities are terrifying when amplified by moonlight.

"Probably not."

Lan Chang'an remained calm and composed.

"On the way, I used magic to eliminate the smell of blood and the odor from my body, and I also sprinkled a special concealing powder on the Flying Boat."

In his Previous Life, he knew tracking techniques; perhaps not top-tier, but sufficient for those within the third rank.

"That's good."

Zhao Siyao's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

Lan Chang'an's meticulousness made her feel much more at ease.

However, at that very moment...

Aww~~

A wolf howl echoed from above the deep valley, accompanied by the powerful aura of a late-stage second-tier cultivator.

Lan Chang'an's expression froze, his face slightly burning.

Zhao Siyao's face trembled, and despair flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, she felt regret. If she hadn't gotten involved in the hunt for the "Pale Moon Wolf" and things hadn't gotten out of hand, she wouldn't have been in such a crisis.

"Well! Actually, the situation isn't as bad as you think."

Lan Chang'an looked slightly embarrassed, but remained relatively calm.

"Just in case, I chose this deep valley where moonlight cannot shine directly in."

Looking up, Zhao Siyao saw that the entrance to the deep valley was narrow, and many trees and vines were growing on the rock walls.

At this moment, the full moon is tilted at a certain angle, so it cannot shine directly down.

If the Heavenly Moon Wolf catches up, its strength will drop to the mid-stage of the second tier.

Zhao Siyao was preoccupied with her injury and hadn't noticed this detail.

"Daoist Lu is very thoughtful."

Zhao Siyao closed her eyes, circulated her internal energy, and swallowed another pill, hoping to recover more of her strength.

The powerful aura of the Heavenly Moon Wolf gradually approached from the mountainside above.

Whoosh!

Soon, a lithe, silver giant wolf leaped down from between the rock walls.

Without the support of moonlight, the Heavenly Moon Wolf's aura suddenly dropped, falling to the mid-stage of the second tier.

However, as a member of the Earth Grade Bloodline, his strength is much greater than that of an ordinary mid-stage second-tier individual.

Lan Chang'an sat in front of Zhao Siyao, holding a handful of second-tier Talisman in his hand, and summoned the high-grade defensive Law Artifact, the White Scale Shield.

Thinking of the Heavenly Moon Wolf's Law Technique Moon Blade, he took out the Strange Treasure White Pearl.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf's dark silver eyes coldly stared at Lan Chang'an, and its pupils slightly contracted when it saw the handful of second-tier Talisman in the latter's hand.

Lan Chang'an stared at it expressionlessly.

Suddenly.

Fairy Zhao, dressed in white as snow, removed her skirt, revealing her beautiful body with fair skin and delicate bones, and shyly rushed into his arms.

"A trivial skill!"

Lan Chang'an sneered inwardly, having already taken precautions and seen through the illusion before him.

He possesses the Mind-Stabilizing Secret Technique from his Previous Life, and the Evergreen Art also enhances his mental state.

If prepared, even with the amplification of Moonlight, let alone the current decline in Heavenly Moon Wolf's strength, it cannot shake him.

At this moment, Lan Chang'an pretended to be affected by the illusion, treating it as watching a short movie.

The Earth Rock Rat lurked underground and buried the Second-Order Talisman Disk.

As long as the Heavenly Moon Wolf gets close and activates the Second-Order Talisman Array, its powerful force could potentially kill a mid-stage second-tier Demon Beast with weak defense.

"Lan Chang'an, what kind of person do you take me for!"

A sharp rebuke, tinged with both shyness and anger, came from Fairy Zhao beside him.

"Step back now, or I'll show no mercy!"

Clearly, Zhao Siyao was affected by the illusion.

Lan Chang'an's lips curled slightly.

Subconsciously, this Fairy Zhao had no romantic feelings for anyone.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf drifted down from the sky, cautiously approaching the two.

Take three more steps forward.

Lan Chang'an silently recited in his heart.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf is agile and skilled in moonlight Law Technique, but its physical defense is not outstanding among second-tier creatures.

Once the wolf enters the ambush array, it can at least be severely injured.

With the help of the Earth Rock Rat, Zhao Siyao, and Lan Chang'an's second-tier Mid-Grade Talisman, they could only accept one more special demon core.

Rub!

Heavenly Moon Wolf suddenly stopped, his cunning eyes revealing fear and confusion.

Two more steps and it will step into a minefield.

"Not leaving? This Heavenly Moon Wolf is mentally unstable."

Lan Chang'an frowned slightly, his mind merging with the First Life of the Nine Imprint Tablet, amplifying his soul's perception.

Um?

He sensed something was amiss: the Heavenly Moon Wolf's soul and body were somewhat out of sync.

This is the sensation transmitted from the Nine Imprint Tablet.

Lan Chang'an began to suspect something.

No wonder this wolf would actively scheme against human cultivators; its illusion techniques are so sophisticated, and its intelligence surpasses that of Demon Beast of the same level.

Heavenly Moon Wolf's eyes flickered as he gave Lan Chang'an a deep look before slowly retreating.

"Waaah!"

At this moment, Zhao Siyao let out a painful groan and broke free from the illusion.

Seeing Lan Chang'an fully clothed, her expression became unnatural.
