A Man Like a Demonic Beast!

"If I had this kind of powerful physique back then, being hit by that palm from the demon would have only resulted in a minor injury, not left me almost completely incapacitated!"

Tang Jie clenched his fists, feeling as if the very air was being crushed between his fingers. He thought to himself, During the battle with that demon, Tang Jie took a palm strike. His Golden Bell Shield was shattered, and he himself was severely injured and unable to fight. But if it were him now, he wouldn't have been so pathetic. He could have withstood a palm strike and still had the ability to counterattack!

"I've been delayed for almost two months... The chance of finding that woman is probably almost zero, but I should still go and take a look at Peerless City."

Tang Jie sighed. He had wasted too much time here, and finding the woman who left the letter was almost impossible, but he still wanted to go to Peerless City to see.

Tang Jie tidied up his belongings and prepared to bid farewell to Tie Dong and Tie Niu.

"You're leaving? Alright... If you get injured again or anything, you're welcome to come to our clinic." Tie Dong was a little surprised to learn that Tang Jie was leaving, but he didn't try to stop him. Instead, he smiled.

"Yes, I hope I don't get injured like that again." Tang Jie also smiled.

"No... it's not good! Brother Tie is in trouble!"

Just as Tang Jie was saying goodbye and preparing to leave, a man in coarse cloth clothes ran in from outside the clinic, his face full of terror.

"What happened to Tie Niu? Tell me slowly!"

Tie Dong was startled by this, but he still spoke calmly. The man was an apprentice at their clinic, but at this moment, his face was filled with panic.

The man swallowed and stammered, "This... this morning, Tie Niu and I went to the Red Maple Forest not far from here to gather herbs. But in the Red Maple Forest, we encountered a few men dressed strangely. They said they needed a bait. One of them, from several meters away, cut off Brother Tie's arm with a single sword strike... I was so scared that I immediately ran away, and those men didn't chase me..."

Tie Dong's body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale.

"Cut off a person's arm from several meters away with a single sword strike... Could it be an immortal cultivator?" Tang Jie, overhearing this, was also slightly surprised. He knew that this was most likely the work of an immortal cultivator. What was their purpose in using Tie Niu as bait?

"Tang... Young Master Tang, you must help me... My children were all killed by bandits when they went out to treat patients. He's my only grandson..."

Tie Dong looked at Tang Jie pleadingly, appearing as if he was about to kneel.

Hearing the clinic apprentice's description, Tie Dong knew that the men who captured Tie Niu were no ordinary people. Even if they reported it to the authorities, the few soldiers in their small town would likely be powerless.

Only the unfathomable Tang Jie had the possibility of rescuing Tie Niu!

"Don't worry, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Where is the Red Maple Forest?" Tang Jie supported Tie Dong, who was about to kneel, and comforted him before asking.

Tie Dong and Tie Niu had carried him back from the forest back then. Tang Jie had to repay this kindness. Now that Tie Niu was in trouble, with Tang Jie's personality, he wouldn't just ignore it!

"It's to the east of our Maple Forest Town... You can see it once you leave Maple Forest Town." Tie Dong said quickly.

"Alright, then I'll go and take a look first."

Tang Jie nodded, then unhesitatingly used his movement technique. His figure trailed an illusion, disappearing into the clinic at a speed that ordinary people could hardly capture, heading towards the Red Maple Forest in the east.

"Let's go quickly too!" Tie Dong immediately said. He and the clinic apprentice then also headed towards the Red Maple Forest.

Meanwhile, within the Red Maple Forest, a very brutal scene was unfolding.

Maple leaves were like blood. Tie Niu was currently hanging upside down from a large tree, one of his arms severed at the elbow, blood dripping onto the ground.

Tie Niu's face was extremely pale, filled with anger, but more so with fear. He wanted to shout, but a triangular-eyed man had fed him an unknown pill earlier, which made his body numb and unresponsive, making it difficult to even move a finger.

"Why... why are you doing this to me?" Tie Niu was very confused in his heart. He hadn't offended those people, so why did they attack him so ruthlessly without saying a word? Were cultivators so barbaric and cruel? What was the difference between them and wild beasts?

Not far from the large tree, in a bush, three people were quietly waiting.

"Is it really going to work? Will that Crimson Blood Wolf come?"

Among these three men, one wearing a black hooded hat frowned and said.

Upon hearing this, a sinister man chuckled, "The Crimson Blood Wolf is most sensitive to the smell of blood, it will come. If it doesn't, we'll just catch a few more people and slowly bleed them. We'll eventually attract it."

These three were disciples of the Mystic Spirit Peak, an immortal cultivation sect. Not long ago, they had accepted a sect mission to hunt a Demonic Beast, the Crimson Blood Wolf, and bring back its demon core.

After some investigation, the three learned that a Crimson Blood Wolf was hidden in this Red Maple Forest.

The Crimson Blood Wolf was extremely sensitive to blood. As the three immortal cultivators from Mystic Spirit Peak were considering how to lure it out, they happened to encounter Tie Niu and his companion who had entered the Red Maple Forest to gather herbs.

How could the three refuse such a convenient bait? They immediately captured Tie Niu, cut off his arm, and hung him up, intending to use his flowing blood to see if they could attract the Crimson Blood Wolf.

As for whether such actions were too cruel, the three didn't care. As immortal cultivators, killing a mere ordinary villager was nothing. Tie Niu could only consider himself unlucky to have encountered them!

"Hmm? It's here!"

The sinister man's eyes lit up. He saw a colossal beast slowly emerging from the Red Maple Forest in the distance. It was a giant wolf, over three meters long, its entire body blood-red. Its eyes flickered with ferocity, capable of instilling fear and causing one to lose all will to fight upon meeting its gaze!

The Crimson Blood Wolf, upon reaching adulthood, was a peak first-tier Demonic Beast. It was ferocious and belonged to the top among peak first-tier Demonic Beasts. The Crimson Blood Wolf was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. Once it fixed its target, it would pursue relentlessly.

"Don't make a sound. Wait until the Crimson Blood Wolf eats this kid's flesh, and then it will be poisoned. At that time, we'll make our move, and we can take it down without any effort."

A triangular-eyed man among the three lowered his voice and said.

Earlier, the triangular-eyed man had given Tie Niu a poison pill, which caused numbness and immobility. Even a Demonic Beast, if poisoned, would have its body temporarily out of control!

Letting the Crimson Blood Wolf eat Tie Niu and then killing it while it was poisoned was the plan of the three immortal cultivators from Mystic Spirit Peak, designed to minimize risk.

Then, the three concealed their presence, suppressed their breathing to the lowest level, and waited quietly.

The Crimson Blood Wolf sniffed the air. It saw Tie Niu hanging upside down from the tree in the distance. The Crimson Blood Wolf looked around, found nothing unusual, and then slowly walked towards Tie Niu.

"This... this is a Demonic Beast? Help... Help me!"

Tie Niu clearly saw the giant Crimson Blood Wolf walking towards him. His heart was filled with extreme fear. He wanted to shout for help, but the poison pill he had taken made his tongue numb, and he couldn't speak at all.

The Crimson Blood Wolf walked to Tie Niu's position. It looked up at Tie Niu, its eyes flashing with blood-red light. As a Demonic Beast, its intelligence was not high. Although it was puzzled why a prey was placed here, the sweet, bloody smell emanating from Tie Niu's severed arm made its mouth water, and it couldn't resist the urge to feast!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The Crimson Blood Wolf showed a fierce expression, preparing to tear Tie Niu from the tree and devour him. But suddenly, its ears twitched. It heard a vibration, a tremor from the ground!

It was as if... a massive, ferocious beast was galloping. The vibration sound, coming from afar and approaching, appeared not far away almost instantaneously!
