Fist Blast Black Wolf

Inside the deep forest, Fang Mu and a black wolf faced each other, their eyes burning with animosity as if they were sworn enemies meeting again.

"You guys retreat, I'll handle this demon wolf," Fang Mu said to the several Demon Slayer Envoys behind him.

Upon hearing this, they didn't even think twice and quickly retreated towards the outside of the forest.

Loyalty was nothing to them, these Demon Slayer Envoys; survival was paramount.

Ignoring his companions who had left without looking back, Fang Mu initiated the attack first.

"Roar!" The black wolf let out a roar and, showing no weakness, lunged at Fang Mu.

This guy was still injured, wounded by Fang Mu during that night's sneak attack.

As the two engaged in close-quarters combat, countless wood chips flew, and branches snapped.

The black wolf took several punches from Fang Mu, then ferociously tackled him, baring its fangs to bite. However, Fang Mu kicked it to the ground.

Seeing that the small forest was empty, Fang Mu no longer suppressed his strength and unleashed his full power, his punches landing with solid impact on the black wolf.

The black wolf let out a miserable howl, its cries reaching outside the forest, causing the Demon Slayer Envoys to feel a tremor of fear.

Not long after, the screams abruptly stopped. Fang Mu emerged from the forest, covered in blood.

"Lord Fang, are you alright?"

"Lord Fang, where is the demon?"

The Demon Slayer Envoys, seeing Fang Mu covered in blood, cautiously stepped forward to ask.

"The wolf demon has been slain. Don't mention this again, and let's continue searching for the Corpse King!"

Fang Mu glanced at everyone and replied indifferently, then headed towards the mountain forest to the side.

"Yes!" The others quickly responded, exchanged glances, and hurried to follow Fang Mu.

Everyone had been suspecting Fang Mu's strength, never imagining he had been hiding it so deeply.

But the stronger Fang Mu was, the safer they would be, so they actually felt this was a good thing.

After a period of searching, Fang Mu saw many scattered bones carelessly discarded in the forest. The pungent smell of decay made him involuntarily hold his breath.

Finally, they rendezvoused with Wen Xuan and his group, arriving outside a hidden cave entrance.

This cave was concealed within a tomb and seemed bottomless.

"You guys go down and scout it out first!" Tu Qing ordered Fang Mu and the others at this point.

"Damn it!"

Fang Mu was somewhat displeased; this was clearly an attempt to use him as cannon fodder, and the others' expressions were even more grim.

"I'll go down. If it's too narrow below, bringing too many people down would just be sending them to their deaths!"

Ignoring Tu Qing, Fang Mu spoke to Wen Xuan beside him.

Without waiting for his reply, Fang Mu leaped directly into the cave entrance, causing Qi Zhu to gasp in surprise.

Entering the cave wasn't entirely due to Tu Qing's coercion; it was because he wanted to see if he could defeat the heavily injured Corpse King.

If he could refine it, Fang Mu had a hunch that the Demon Refining Mirror might be able to produce something good.

The cave was about ten meters high, and it widened as he descended.

Fang Mu fell to the ground with a faint thud, not sustaining any injuries.

But this was only ten meters; what about a hundred meters or even higher?

Fang Mu felt that if he had time, he should fuse with the bat wings; they might save his life when needed.

Recalling his thoughts, he continued forward along the dark cave and discovered that it was quite a sight to behold.

The passage within this cave was extremely long, appearing to be a natural underground cavern.

After walking through the passage for a while, Fang Mu arrived in a huge cavern.

He possessed night vision, so he could see everything around him clearly without relying on light.

He noticed a pool of blood in the center of the cavern, and the pungent smell of blood could be clearly detected by Fang Mu even from the cave entrance.

Within the blood pool, a tall corpse sat cross-legged, seemingly absorbing the vital energy from the blood pool.

Just as Fang Mu was observing the corpse, it seemed to sense his presence and opened a pair of scarlet eyes.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside, causing Fang Mu to shift from solid to void, transforming into a black shadow and hiding in a dark corner.

The Corpse King's aura was too strong, and Fang Mu wasn't confident he could defeat it. It was perfect to let the others test the Corpse King's strength.

Soon, a group of people walked into the cavern. Amidst a roar and a furious cry, screams erupted one after another within the cavern.

Then, over a dozen black shadows streaked from a distance, charging into the cavern.

Following that, another fierce battle and slaughter broke out within the cave.

Fang Mu remained hidden in the dark corner of the cavern, unnoticed by anyone.

He also gained some knowledge, watching Wen Xuan, the Bronze Toad Envoy Chen Mu, and others, bathed in light, each using their unique abilities and unleashing powerful spells to attack the Corpse King.

The Corpse King was blasted out of the blood pool, and even the blood pool was shattered by the attacks of Wen Xuan and the others.

Wen Xuan and Chen Mu, both Third Rank Martial Artists, jointly suppressed the Corpse King.

With the assistance of Tu Qing and others, who were Fourth Rank Martial Artists, the Corpse King was immediately thrown into a desperate situation.

At this moment, the Corpse King let out a roar, its blood aura surging. It broke free from everyone's encirclement and fled towards the cave's exit.

"Qi Zhu! You take people and stay to clean up the blood pool!"

Wen Xuan gave the order and, along with Tu Qing and Chen Mu, pursued the fleeing Corpse King.

Soon, the cave fell silent.

Inside the cave, Qi Zhu, along with over twenty Demon Slayer Envoys and the remaining Demon Slayers, held torches and searched the blood pool.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a series of screams rang out. Many who approached the blood pool were pierced by bone spurs.

Fang Mu, hiding in a dark corner of the cave, was also startled, not expecting further complications from the blood pool.

A skeletal monster burst out of the blood pool, instantly killing many Demon Slayer Envoys and Demon Slayers.

"Run!"

A wave of panicked shouts erupted, and the remaining people desperately fled towards the cave's exit.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

A series of piercing sounds echoed as countless bone spurs shot out like sharp arrows, impaling the bodies of the remaining Demon Slayers and Demon Slayer Envoys.

Qi Zhu grunted, sent flying by the bone spurs. If not for her defensive soft armor, she would have been injured, if not killed.

In an instant, the entire cave fell completely silent. Everyone was silenced by the skeletal monster, leaving only Qi Zhu.

Fang Mu, hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but stare in astonishment at the skeletal oddity's power.

"Ah!"

As the skeletal monster slowly approached, Qi Zhu, letting out a cry, retreated repeatedly, coincidentally backing into Fang Mu's hiding spot.

"Roar!"

The skeletal monster roared and leaped high, pouncing towards Qi Zhu.

Qi Zhu cried out in alarm, raising her long sword in fear, preparing for a desperate struggle.

Fang Mu, hidden in the shadows, sighed, knowing that if he didn't act now, Qi Zhu would likely be instantly killed by the opponent.

"Ah!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Qi Zhu cried out, watching the skeletal monster pounce, fearfully swinging her long sword wildly.

Then, a series of booming sounds of combat, and the feeling of her sword cutting through empty air, brought Qi Zhu back to her senses.

She saw a figure currently fighting the skeletal monster. The brutal hand-to-hand combat left Qi Zhu speechless.

The skeletal monster roared repeatedly, activating its bone spurs to attack Fang Mu.

Despite his robust physique, Fang Mu gained no advantage.

While the skeletal monster, covered in bone spurs, was not as strong or fast as him, its bone spurs were too sharp, piercing his fists and skin.
