After Deng Lin left the main group, Su Xian temporarily stayed still,
because wolves had extremely keen noses, and he needed to keep some distance!
However, things were somewhat beyond Su Xian's expectations.
He had thought he would have to wait until Deng Lin was quite far away before the Wolf Demon made its move.
He hadn't expected the Wolf Demon to attack so soon after Deng Lin had left.
Hearing Deng Lin's voice from not far away, Su Xian pushed off with one step and soared through the jungle!
He rapidly closed in on the place where the voice had come from!
Soon, Su Xian arrived at the scene.
He saw a wolf about one and a half meters tall, its fur snow-white, fighting Deng Lin.
With a casual swipe of its sharp claws, the Wolf Demon could slice a tree in two,
and although Deng Lin was also a Muscle Forging Realm martial artist, he could only dodge left and right in the face of those claws.
The Wolf Demon opened its bloody maw and bit at Deng Lin.
Deng Lin could only leap to the right and roll away from the attack.
Deng Lin was in poor shape at this point. Several claw marks had torn open his clothes!
His body was covered in quite a few streaks of blood!
"You're a Peak Second-Rank Monster!"
Looking at the Wolf Demon before him, Deng Lin couldn't help exclaiming in shock, while secretly cursing his luck.
He was merely an early-stage Muscle Forging Realm martial artist. Against this Peak Second-Rank Monster, he was simply too weak to cope!
"Heh heh! Cunning human! You wanted to lure me out? Now that I'm out, why are you so afraid?" the Wolf Demon sneered,
then charged straight at Deng Lin!
After discovering the cultivation of the person before it, it knew that it had fallen into a trap!
Now, its only option was to kill the person before it as quickly as possible, then flee!
That way, it could avoid being surrounded by numerous humans!
"It's over! I don't think I can block it!"
Seeing the Wolf Demon rapidly charging over, Deng Lin's heart pounded wildly.
He had originally planned to stall the Wolf Demon with a war of words, but he hadn't expected it to charge so decisively!
Brother Ye, hurry up and come!
Deng Lin frantically shouted in his heart while circulating his qi and blood into both arms,
then bringing them together before his head in an attempt to block the Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon's attack!
But the expected attack never came. A blood-red blade light appeared behind the Wolf Demon!
Su Xian was faster than the Wolf Demon. He raised the Mountain-splitting Saber high, circulated the qi and blood within his body, and unleashed the Second Grade Blazing Fire Demon Subduing Saber Technique!
Blood qi flowed along Su Xian's palm and clung to the Mountain-splitting Saber, igniting blood-colored flames along the blade!
He brought the saber down!
Immense power poured into the Wolf Demon's body. With one strike—just one strike—Su Xian severed the Wolf Demon's rear right leg!
The Wolf Demon let out a massive howl of agony and crashed to the ground,
its rear right leg severed. Wisps of blood-colored flame burned at the stump, setting the fur around its right leg ablaze!
"No, I have to run!"
Feeling the intense pain from its hind leg and the sensation of its fur catching fire,
the Wolf Demon was instantly consumed by terror, while boundless hatred also rose within it!
If I can escape, I'll definitely kill these two with my own hands!
The next moment, the Wolf Demon prepared to flee!
"Brother Ye, you're finally here! Kill it quickly! It's a Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon! Don't let it get away!"
Realizing that the attack had not come, Deng Lin lowered his arms and looked at the scene before him. He was ecstatic and hurriedly shouted.
As the saying went, when he was down, kick him while he was down!
The moment Deng Lin finished speaking, he charged at the Wolf Demon with his fists, ready to beat the drowning dog!
"He's trying to steal the kill!" Su Xian was startled when he saw this.
He had to personally take the Wolf Demon's life to obtain its Remaining Lifespan!
A kill assisted by someone else didn't count!
The next instant, Su Xian raised his saber and struck again, driving all the qi and blood in his body into the blade!
The blood-colored flames on the Mountain-splitting Saber surged! The Blazing Fire Demon Subduing Saber Technique was unleashed once more!
Splurt!
Su Xian's saber was faster than Deng Lin's fists!
Just as the Wolf Demon was preparing to flee, Su Xian's saber had already struck its head!
One strike—just one strike!
The Wolf Demon's head was severed completely!
The wolf's head flew away, rolling who knew how many times before coming to a stop upright on the ground.
Human-like astonishment appeared across the entire wolf head!
The headless wolf, over a meter tall, crashed heavily to the ground!
Su Xian flicked the Mountain-splitting Saber in his hand, shaking the blood from it. A smile crept onto his lips.
[Ping! Slayed one Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon. Obtained 118 years of Remaining Lifespan.]
After checking his gains, Su Xian slightly furrowed his brows. He hadn't expected a Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon to provide him with only 118 years of lifespan.
It seemed this Wolf Demon's aptitude was poor. It might have taken it a very long time to cultivate to the Peak Second-Rank Realm, leaving it with little Remaining Lifespan!
"Brother Ye! That was awesome!"
Having personally witnessed Su Xian sever the Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon's head with one saber, Deng Lin couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up in praise!
At the same time, Deng Lin secretly clicked his tongue in amazement!
The body of this Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon was extraordinarily tough!
If it had been him, that saber would probably have only cut in a little before becoming lodged in the Wolf Demon's muscles and flesh, unable to advance another inch!
Yet Su Xian had actually severed the Wolf Demon's entire head with one strike!
The power of that saber was clearly immense!
"This martial technique seems extraordinary too!"
Deng Lin thought to himself. When Su Xian had brought his saber down just now, blood-colored flames had ignited along the blade! It had been highly unusual!
"Looks like this Brother Ye's strength is no ordinary matter!"
Deng Lin thought to himself, then walked up to Su Xian and bowed.
"Thank you for saving my life, Brother Ye! If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have died in the wolf's jaws!"
After saying this, Deng Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Deng, you're too kind. It was something we agreed on from the beginning. You not blaming me for arriving late is already enough."
Su Xian shook his head.
"Not at all, not at all!" Deng Lin waved his hands repeatedly, then looked at the Wolf Demon's corpse before him.
"Brother Ye, how do you plan to deal with this Wolf Demon's corpse?"
Deng Lin licked his lips and asked.
"This... let's just bring it back later," Su Xian said slowly after thinking for a moment.
He didn't have much interest in the Wolf Demon's corpse. After all, it was only a Second-Rank Wolf Demon, and it didn't contain any precious item like a Demon Core.
"This... Brother Ye, why don't we eat it?"
Deng Lin frowned slightly at his words, then looked at Su Xian and suggested this.
"Eat it?" Su Xian was slightly stunned. He truly hadn't considered that.
"That's right, eat it! This is a Peak Second-Rank Realm Wolf Demon! Its flesh contains abundant qi and blood! Eating it can speed up our cultivation!" Deng Lin nodded and explained.
"All right, then! We'll do as you say! Let's eat it!"
Su Xian nodded. He didn't feel any psychological resistance toward eating the Wolf Demon. After all, it wasn't humanoid.
Monsters ate people, and people ate monsters. It was perfectly normal.
"This fur is good stuff too! It can sell for at least two hundred taels of silver!"
"Unfortunately, the tear around the hind leg is too large! It'll probably only sell for around one hundred and eighty taels!" Deng Lin said regretfully.
He then took out a small knife and skillfully skinned the Wolf Demon, handing the stripped pelt to Su Xian.
"Here, Brother Ye!"
Su Xian accepted the pelt and stroked it. The Wolf Demon's fur was indeed incomparably smooth!
He hadn't expected this Wolf Demon's pelt to be worth more than two hundred taels either!
Su Xian couldn't help thinking of the Cat Demon he had killed. Its pelt seemed to be even more intact!
Perhaps it could sell for quite a bit of silver too!
