One Punch Kills Demonic Beast!

The Crimson Blood Wolf immediately turned its head to look. It saw a tall figure standing not far away.

"Hu... Human?" The three immortal cultivators hiding twenty to thirty meters away also saw the newcomer. A hint of astonishment appeared on their faces. This was a young man in black, around twenty years old.

The commotion from its earlier run sounded like a giant beast charging. Was that really something a human could produce?

The person who arrived was naturally Tang Jie!

"Good thing I made it in time." Tang Jie had been sprinting all the way here. Seeing Tie Niu hanging from the tree in the distance, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Tang Jie had rushed over at his fastest speed. Coupled with the fact that Red Maple Forest wasn't very far from Maple Forest Town, Tie Niu hadn't met with any fatal harm yet.

"Let's deal with this Demonic Beast first!"

Tang Jie looked at the Crimson Blood Wolf, his expression utterly cold. He decided to eliminate the Crimson Blood Wolf first!

"Facing a Demonic Beast empty-handed? Is he an immortal cultivator or a martial artist?"

The three immortal cultivators secretly observing the scene all frowned. Tang Jie faced the Crimson Blood Wolf without any leakage of aura, and they couldn't sense any fluctuations of magic power. However, if he were a martial artist, facing a Demonic Beast empty-handed would undoubtedly be a suicidal act!

Of course, even for a first-rate martial artist, facing a Crimson Blood Wolf with a weapon in hand would be no different than being unarmed – it would still mean death!

The three immortal cultivators remained still, preparing to watch how things unfolded. They hoped the Crimson Blood Wolf would quickly kill Tang Jie and then eat Tie Niu. Otherwise, if too much time passed, the drug's effect would wear off.

"Roar!"

The ferocity in the Crimson Blood Wolf's eyes grew increasingly intense. Finally, it let out a wolf howl that shook the leaves of the maple trees. The beast itself then lunged at Tang Jie like an arrow. As its massive body moved, a fierce aura washed over them, capable of instilling fear and stripping away all will to resist!

"Be... be careful..." Tie Niu, hanging from the tree, felt a surge of panic seeing this.

Demonic Beasts were creatures that were difficult for humans to overcome. Even for immortal cultivators, facing high-tier Demonic Beasts often resulted in death!

The Crimson Blood Wolf was fast, but Tang Jie was even faster!

Whoosh!

Tang Jie's body seemed to tear through the air, giving the impression of being both late and early. He instantly appeared before the Crimson Blood Wolf, throwing a punch straight out.

Boom!

As this punch was thrown, it seemed to break the sound barrier, emitting a sonic boom!

"Crack crack crack!"

The charging Crimson Blood Wolf had no space to dodge at all. It was directly hit in the head by Tang Jie's punch. Amidst the dull explosion, there was the sound of bones cracking. The Crimson Blood Wolf's head, harder than steel, rapidly distorted and caved in. Its massive body, weighing a ton, was sent flying backward!

Bang!

The Crimson Blood Wolf's enormous body flew back over ten meters, rolling a few times on the ground before coming to a stop.

At this moment, the Crimson Blood Wolf's head was twisted and caved in, as if struck by a ten-thousand-jin iron hammer. It had died instantly, without even a chance to let out a scream!

Although Tang Jie's Iron Cutting Saber had shattered during his previous battle with demons, killing this kind of Demonic Beast was still effortless for him.

"Just enough to replenish some food..." Tang Jie thought. As a Demonic Beast, this Crimson Blood Wolf was excellent food for a martial artist like him.

"Come out!"

Tang Jie's cold eyes flashed like lightning as he looked sharply towards the bushes on his right and shouted.

Tang Jie's body was filled with Pure Yang Qi, and he had cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art to the eleventh layer. His physique was incredibly strong, granting him not only superhuman strength and speed but also incredibly sharp senses!

When Tang Jie had punched and killed the Crimson Blood Wolf, he had clearly heard a faint sound from the nearby bushes. Therefore, he had immediately determined that someone was there.

"He found us?"

The three immortal cultivators in the bushes exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless. Tang Jie's single punch that killed a Crimson Blood Wolf had astonished them uncontrollably, causing them to accidentally make a slight sound. They hadn't expected Tang Jie to detect it.

The three of them immediately emerged from the bushes.

"They are immortal cultivators."

Tang Jie swept his gaze over them and quickly determined that these three were immortal cultivators. Their clothing and attire were different from ordinary people. Moreover, Tang Jie had met quite a few immortal cultivators before. Immortal cultivators generally possessed a unique aura that could be discerned with careful observation.

"Fellow Daoist... We three are disciples of Mystic Spirit Peak. May I dare to ask if you are from the Body Refining Sect?" Among the three, the man wearing a black hood cupped his fists and said humbly.

"Body Refining Sect?" Tang Jie was slightly taken aback. He realized that these three mistook him for a Body Cultivator among the immortal cultivators!

Tang Jie had learned some knowledge about immortal cultivators from Bai Fenghua earlier. He knew that immortal cultivators were divided into different factions, such as Pill Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, and Body Cultivators.

The Body Refining Sect, judging by its name, should be a sect for Body Cultivators.

Seeing Tang Jie kill a peak first-tier Demonic Beast with his bare fists, the three from Mystic Spirit Peak naturally assumed he was a Body Cultivator!

Body Cultivators were rare, and within the Great Xia Dynasty, there was only one sect for Body Cultivators – the Body Refining Sect. This sect had few disciples, but due to concentrated resources, every disciple cultivated was an elite. As for themselves, they were merely ordinary disciples of Mystic Spirit Peak, not even having reached Qi Refining Perfection. Seeing a Body Cultivator from the Body Refining Sect, they naturally adopted a very respectful demeanor.

"I am not some Body Cultivator." Tang Jie shook his head, then his gaze turned cold. "Were my friend's injuries caused by you?"

Tang Jie hadn't forgotten what the medical hall apprentice had said earlier – that someone had severed Tie Niu's arm and intended to use him as bait. It seemed he was meant to lure out the Crimson Blood Wolf, and the culprits, if his guess was correct, were these three!

Facing Tang Jie's icy gaze, the three immortal cultivators trembled inwardly. The hooded man's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Brother, you misunderstand. We three only arrived not long ago. We saw this brother hanging from the tree and being targeted by the Crimson Blood Wolf. We were nearby, looking for an opportunity to save him, not to harm him."

Tie Niu, who was hanging from the tree, heard this and was so enraged he almost fainted. These three had clearly severed his arm and hung him up to lure out the Crimson Blood Wolf, yet now they claimed they were trying to save him from the Demonic Beast?

"As expected, you immortal cultivators are accustomed to being high and mighty. You use the lives of living people to lure Demonic Beasts. Today, you... you will all die!" Tang Jie noticed Tie Niu's intense emotional turmoil and said with killing intent.

Tie Niu had carried him back from the mountains to Maple Forest Town back then, and he was an upright and kind person. Tang Jie also considered him a friend. Yet these three immortal cultivators used him as bait to lure Demonic Beasts?

"Attack!"

Seeing that the situation could not be resolved peacefully, the hooded man let out a low shout and made the first move.

Whoosh!

The hooded man raised his hand, and a green long arrow shot out, flashing with green light, directly attacking Tang Jie's face.

This green arrow was incredibly fast, almost impossible to see with the naked eye. It was enveloped in green light, exuding a sharpness capable of easily piercing even a foot-thick steel plate!

However, in Tang Jie's eyes at this moment, its speed was far too slow!

As the arrow approached, Tang Jie suddenly reached out his palm and easily caught the green long arrow, preventing it from moving any further!

"What?"

The hooded man's expression changed drastically. He repeatedly urged his magic, but the green arrow trembled incessantly, completely unable to shake off Tang Jie's grip!
