Righteous Intervention

Chapter 3: Righteous Intervention

The wolves advanced and retreated in an orderly fashion. Especially the two alpha wolves, who always disrupted the five humans' killing moves at critical moments, saving their subordinates.

The pack of wolves suffered no casualties, while the five humans grew weaker and weaker. If this continued, the five human powerhouses were likely doomed.

In the Demon Realm, being surrounded by a pack of wolves made escape incredibly difficult.

Without a miracle, these five youths were finished here.

The five must have worked together often, their coordination was quite good, occasionally even seamless, allowing them to kill one or two ordinary wolves.

But there were over a hundred wolves in the pack. Killing a few had no effect. Especially the two alpha wolves and ten magic wolves, who remained unharmed. Their threat was the greatest.

The two alpha wolves and ten magic wolves, when still, were one thing, but when they moved, they forced the humans to save themselves or get injured.

"Pfft!" A magic wolf tore off a human's sleeve, leaving a bloody gash on his arm.

The five humans were very united. The other four quickly shielded him in the center, allowing him to bandage his wound.

Unfortunately, the five humans were already exhausted. With successive injuries, they had no chance to rest.

Seeing the humans getting injured one by one, Bi Fan knew it was time to act, or it would be too late.

Seizing an opportunity, Bi Fan leaped down from the tree.

He used the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art with his right hand and the Carefree Immortal Finger with his left, targeting the two magic wolves.

Before he even landed, his attacks had already arrived.

"Roar!..." Two screams echoed. The magic wolves were focused on the five humans and were completely unprepared, immediately falling victim.

As soon as Bi Fan landed, he executed a beautiful turn and continued attacking the other magic wolves.

He had already figured it out: killing the magic wolves was the key to victory.

Bi Fan's basic footwork was already perfected. With a few swift maneuvers, he killed four magic wolves in succession.

"Awooo!" The two alpha wolves let out furious roars and lunged at Bi Fan simultaneously.

"With an expert's help, brothers, seize this chance to kill the magic wolves!" The five humans weren't foolish either. They launched a fierce assault, taking the opportunity to kill the magic wolves.

There were too many ordinary wolves to kill them all, and they posed no significant threat to the humans. It was better to kill the magic wolves, whose threat was far greater.

Bi Fan didn't engage the alpha wolves directly. He unleashed his movement techniques, weaving through the pack. Wherever he passed, wolves fell.

With Bi Fan's current strength, killing magic wolves a level below him was very easy, let alone ordinary wolves.

The two alpha wolves were enraged and chased closely, but Bi Fan's footwork was too elegant and swift for them to catch up.

In the short time since Bi Fan appeared, all ten magic wolves were killed, leaving only the two alpha wolves, the most difficult to deal with.

Bi Fan finally stopped moving and faced the two alpha wolves directly.

The two alpha wolves were not weak. This was a good opportunity to test his own strength.

"Roar!" The two alpha wolves roared and lunged at Bi Fan from the left and right.

The alpha wolves' roars clearly incorporated Inner Breath, making Bi Fan's ears ring.

Bi Fan calmed his mind, dodged one magic wolf, and lunged straight at the other.

Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art, Carefree Immortal Finger...

He unleashed them all, determined to end the fight quickly.

The high-grade Magic Tool, the Flowing Light Sword, struck the magic wolf. Its hide was as hard as iron. The Flowing Light Sword only managed to cut through the skin before it couldn't penetrate further.

Bi Fan was slightly surprised. The other magic wolf had already lunged at him. He quickly abandoned the chance to kill the first wolf and dodged away.

The two magic wolves attacked together but achieved nothing. One was even injured, making them much more cautious.

Bi Fan didn't rush to attack. The defense of a Viscera Realm magic wolf was far stronger than that of an Inner Breath Realm magic wolf. He had to find a solution.

"Roar! Roar!" The magic wolves attacked again. This time, they ran almost side-by-side, making it even harder to strike.

The five humans were heavily injured and greatly depleted. They could handle ordinary wolves, but it was unrealistic to expect them to deal with the alpha wolves.

Bi Fan had no immediate solution and could only keep dodging, temporarily avoiding their sharp edge.

The magic wolves roared incessantly, irritating Bi Fan.

Suddenly, Bi Fan had an idea and deliberately slowed down.

"Roar!" The magic wolf roared again.

Bi Fan suddenly turned, and the Carefree Immortal Finger shot out, aimed at the mouth of one of the magic wolves.

"Boom!" The magic wolf spat out a mouthful of blood and, using its momentum, lunged forward, falling to the ground.

The Carefree Immortal Finger was too sharp, directly attacking the magic wolf's blood vessels and trachea.

The other magic wolf saw the situation was dire and actually turned around, bolting away.

"You want to run? Not so easy!" Bi Fan shouted, unleashing the basic footwork of the Misty Dance.

Several afterimages flashed, and Bi Fan had already intercepted the fleeing magic wolf.

The magic wolf stared at Bi Fan with furious eyes, but it tightly shut its mouth, daring not to roar anymore.

"So clever!" Bi Fan exclaimed in admiration.

However, with only one Magic Wolf left, Bi Fan had plenty of ways to deal with it.

"Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art!"

Bi Fan quickly unleashed it, launching a rapid assault on the Magic Wolf.

Even if it couldn't truly injure the Magic Wolf, it still gave the creature a massive headache.

The Flowing Light Sword was no pushover either; after several rounds of attacks, it left numerous bloody gashes on the Magic Wolf.

Immense pain coursed through the Magic Wolf's nerves. It dared not roar in frustration, its eyeballs becoming bloodshot.

The Magic Wolf lunged, heading straight for Bi Fan's throat. Its gaping maw remained shut, filled with fear of Bi Fan's miraculous finger techniques.

"Hmph! It's about time this ended," Bi Fan snorted coldly.

The Flowing Light Sword flashed, and countless golden lights rained down like falling flowers.

Though seemingly weak, this was one of Bi Fan's strongest offensive techniques – the Floating Rain Flying Flowers Sword!

It was quite easy for the five youths to handle ordinary wolves; the fight was over in no time.

When they saw the multitude of sword lights unleashed by Bi Fan, they were stunned into silence, utterly shocked.

Bi Fan's cultivation realm was similar to theirs, but his combat power was on a completely different level.

The Magic Wolf, seeing the sword lights seal off the entire space, was terrified. Unfortunately, it had already committed to its full-speed lunge and couldn't stop itself.

With a surge of desperation, the Magic Wolf actually accelerated its pounce, recklessly trying to bite off Bi Fan's neck.

As the fierce wind approached, Bi Fan executed a perfect bridge maneuver, the tip of his sword grazing past his head.

The scattered sword lights condensed, forming sharp spikes that plunged directly towards the Magic Wolf's throat.

"Pfft!"

The Magic Wolf flew over Bi Fan's head. The spikes tore through its fur, and then, Bi Fan's Flowing Light Sword pierced into the wound.

With a ripping sound, the Magic Wolf's belly split open, spraying blood all over Bi Fan.

The Magic Wolf fell to the ground, dead.

The five human youths were astonished, completely convinced by Bi Fan's ability to adapt to the crisis.

Bi Fan sheathed his Flowing Light Sword and wiped the blood from his face.

"Thank you, young master, for saving our lives! May I ask your name?" asked one of the youths, a slender boy with a refined scholarly appearance.

"It was nothing, please don't mind it," Bi Fan replied with a smile.

"My name is Li Ziyun. We are all from the Li family of Jiu You City," the previous youth said. "You saved us, and we will never forget your kindness."

Bi Fan said, "My name is Bi Fan, a Registered Disciple of the Qingyang Sect. No need for thanks, but I'll be taking the corpse of the Magic Wolf I killed. I hope you don't mind?"

"Of course, it's all yours by right," Li Ziyun said with a fawning smile.

Even if Li Ziyun had ulterior motives, he didn't dare act on them. All five of them were heavily injured, and their Inner Breath was nearly depleted. They were no match for Bi Fan at all.

Bi Fan didn't stand on ceremony and stored all the Magic Wolf corpses he had killed into his Heavenly Origin Ring.

When Li Ziyun and the other four saw Bi Fan collect nearly twenty wolf corpses, both Magic Wolves and ordinary wolves, they were once again greatly surprised.

A Cosmic Bag, even one with a larger space, could at most hold about ten Magic Wolf corpses. It seemed Bi Fan had more than one.

Bi Fan claimed to be a Registered Disciple of the Qingyang Sect, but it was likely not that simple.

The five youths of the Li family didn't dare to underestimate him just because he was a Registered Disciple. They even suspected he was deliberately concealing his identity.

However, they dared not investigate further, fearing they might anger Bi Fan.

If Bi Fan were ruthless, he could have killed all five of them, not only taking their treasures but also obtaining nearly a hundred ordinary wolf corpses.

The fur and meat of ordinary wolves were worth quite a few spirit stones. Killing for wealth was a common occurrence.

After collecting the Magic Wolf corpses, Bi Fan quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

He could have killed the five youths if he had wanted to, but he wasn't a bandit, so he didn't.

Only after Bi Fan vanished did the five youths of the Li family breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bi Fan is too strong. It's highly unlikely he's just a Registered Disciple."

"Indeed. He's probably an elite disciple cultivated by the Qingyang Sect, otherwise, why would he carry so many Cosmic Bags?" Li Ziyun said.

He paused, then continued, "Let's quickly skin the wolves and leave this place as soon as possible."

Li Ziyun and his companions weren't as extravagant as Bi Fan, having Cosmic Bags to store wolf corpses.

They could only take the most valuable pelts with them. The scent of blood here was too strong; they couldn't stay long.

After traveling a considerable distance, Bi Fan immediately found a place to cultivate.

Although the recent battle seemed effortless, Bi Fan had actually expended a great deal of energy.

Furthermore, he had gained many insights from the battle that needed to be digested immediately.

"Hoo..." After a long while, Bi Fan stood up, feeling that his strength had improved again, and his entire body felt incredibly comfortable.

"It seems practical combat is the best way to improve my strength," Bi Fan thought to himself.

Night soon fell. The Demon Realm was most dangerous in the dead of night, as many Mo Beasts came out to forage.

Bi Fan had to abandon the idea of venturing further and found a large tree to rest briefly.

At night, the Demon Realm appeared even more sinister, with eerie winds rustling the leaves.

Bi Fan tightened his clothes and began to cultivate.

Inner Breath was the most important and hardest aspect for cultivators to accumulate, requiring slow, step-by-step practice. While Pills were good, the Inner Breath cultivated oneself was always purer.

Bi Fan did not take a Viscera Solidifying Pill, instead slowly circulating the Qingyang Longevity Art, over and over.

Feeling the Inner Breath in his body slowly increase, Bi Fan was quite pleased.

After cultivating the Qingyang Longevity Art, Bi Fan began to practice the techniques from the Golden Silk Jade Book, tempering his **.

Today's battle had made him feel the benefits of strong ** power.

If not for his strong ** power, he would have been completely exhausted even after killing the two alpha wolves.

If Bi Fan had collapsed on the spot, Li Ziyun and his four companions might have turned on him, killing him and stealing his treasures.

Such incidents were not uncommon in the Vast Sky Great World.

A strong ** had many benefits. Not only did it increase combat power, but more importantly, even if his Inner Breath was depleted, he would still have the power to protect himself.

A strong ** would increase his ability to survive, which was also very important for future cultivation.

Bi Fan tempered his ** again and again, fully immersing himself.

After practicing the techniques from the Golden Silk Jade Book for a short while, Bi Fan could already feel his ** power reaching two Cloud Stones. Combined with his Inner Breath, his strength had reached six Cloud Stones, equivalent to a beginner in the Valiance realm.

As Bi Fan was engrossed in his cultivation, he was suddenly interrupted by a tiger's roar.
