Planning, Facing the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King Head-On

After less than half an hour, Xiao Ce had already escaped the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's territory, yet the latter showed no intention of giving up the pursuit.

"Damn it, does this ever end?!"

Xiao Ce glanced at the purple figure relentlessly chasing behind him, feeling both frustrated and annoyed.

With his strength, although he was no match for a Sixth Rank magical beast, he could still exchange a few moves with one.

Yet throughout this escape, in order to conserve Dou Qi, he had not counterattacked even once. It was incredibly stifling.

He had thought that once he left the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's territory, it would give up the chase.

After all, few high-ranking magical beasts would leave their own territory.

First, they had to worry that other high-ranking magical beasts would raid their territory while they were away.

Second, entering another high-ranking magical beast's territory could easily be seen as a provocation, triggering a war between magical beasts.

Magical beasts possessed an extremely strong sense of territoriality, especially high-ranking ones.

But Xiao Ce had not expected the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King to remain unwilling to let the matter rest even after chasing him out of its territory, pursuing him for dozens more li.

"Since you like chasing so much, I'll indulge you!"

Xiao Ce had also been driven to anger by the pursuit, and the outline of a bold plan emerged in his mind.

His gaze swept into the distance and locked onto a direction.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King continued its relentless pursuit.

Before long, a massive cave appeared at the edge of Xiao Ce's vision.

Xiao Ce abruptly halted. The instant he turned around, he raised both hands, palms facing each other as though cradling a sphere before his chest.

Black-and-white Yin-Yang Dou Qi surged wildly from Xiao Ce's Sea Urchin Dou Crystal, gathering, spinning, and compressing between his palms into a two-colored Dou Qi vortex that erupted with terrifying suction.

In an instant!

The energy of heaven and earth began to stir. In the sky, the clouds were churned by an invisible force into a massive vortex, its center aimed directly at Xiao Ce's palms.

The energy of heaven and earth within several hundred zhang seemed to answer some summons, rushing wildly through the vortex toward Xiao Ce's palms.

On the ground, tiny blades of grass stood upright as if gravity had vanished, while peach-pit-sized stones trembled and floated from the earth.

The air was filled with a high-frequency hum.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King rushed after him. Seeing the human insect ahead suddenly stop, it was initially delighted.

"Have you finally accepted your fate?!"

But then it saw the scene before it!

For a moment, it was somewhat surprised.

This human insect actually dared to fight back?

And it was an Earth Class Dou Technique. Even it could faintly sense a trace of danger.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful a Dou Technique was, without sufficient strength to support it, it was nothing more than a castle in the air. The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King did not take it seriously at all.

But in the instant it looked down on Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce's movements did not stop. He thrust out a palm.

"Yin-Yang Sky Splitting Palm!"

A low shout rang out, shaking the surrounding lands!

Only Earth Class Dou Techniques could begin to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth.

This Dou Technique was also Xiao Ce's greatest trump card at present, reaching the mid-tier Earth Class.

The next moment, the Yin-Yang light vortex left Xiao Ce's palms, transforming into a giant black-and-white palm seal that tore through the air and slammed toward the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King.

The instant the palm seal flew out, all the air within a hundred zhang was sucked away, creating a brief vacuum. Every stone and blade of grass dragged into the air was reduced to dust along the path of the palm seal.

Human-like contempt appeared in the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's eyes. It casually raised a wolf claw and swiped.

Wind and thunder howled as a purple lightning wolf claw fiercely struck toward the palm seal.

As a dignified Sixth Rank Beast Emperor and one of the rulers of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it had not taken Xiao Ce's attack seriously at all.

Only when the palm seal neared, almost within reach, did the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King suddenly sense the tyrannical power contained within it. Its enormous pupils contracted sharply.

"This aura—"

"Something's wrong!"

The instant it sensed something was amiss, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King tried to strengthen the lightning wolf claw's power. But before it could do so, the massive palm seal had already collided violently with the lightning wolf claw.

"Boom—"

A deafening explosion erupted between man and wolf, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble slightly. Black-and-white and purple energy shockwaves spread wildly from the blast, uprooting trees in every direction as shattered stones and wood chips filled the sky.

Dust billowed, and shockwaves rolled outward.

The powerful aftershock slammed into Xiao Ce, forcing him to stagger back several steps as his blood and Qi churned within his chest.

But he had no time to care about that. His eyes remained fixed on the center of the explosion.

From within the shockwaves came an enraged roar that resounded through the heavens. A purple figure shot out like lightning, purple electricity flashing all over its body.

The moment it burst from the shockwaves, it lunged at Xiao Ce with killing intent.

But Xiao Ce had long been prepared. The instant it pounced, he was already in motion.

"Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon!"

The ground beneath Xiao Ce exploded, and his body appeared dozens of zhang away as though he had teleported.

But the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King had been completely consumed by rage.

It had underestimated the power of Xiao Ce's Yin-Yang Sky Splitting Palm. Due to its carelessness, it had fallen into a disadvantage during their head-on collision and taken the palm strike directly.

Now, several savage wounds had appeared on its majestic, massive body.

With the powerful physical body of a Sixth Rank magical beast, Xiao Ce's strike had not damaged its bones or tendons, but it had made it feel utterly humiliated.

A dignified Sixth Rank Beast Emperor had actually been injured by a human insect at the Dou Ling level. If that was not humiliation, what was?

And only the blood of this human insect could wash away that humiliation!

Filled with towering fury, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King lunged again.

In an instant, it was even slightly faster than Xiao Ce when he used Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon.

Fortunately, the nine turns of Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon erupted in succession, each turn bursting forth faster than the last.

At the same moment the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King pounced, Xiao Ce's figure shot out dozens more zhang.

The two figures began another frantic chase through the area, but this time, Xiao Ce was no longer simply fleeing.

With nearly half his Dou Qi remaining, he had enough to contend with the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King!

Facing an opponent whose strength so vastly surpassed his own, Xiao Ce did not use another Earth Class Dou Technique.

After all, even his ultimate trump card had only caused the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King a minor inconvenience.

Of course, Xiao Ce's true goal was not to defeat it. He mainly wanted to make a big enough commotion.

He used Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon to evade the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's repeated attacks, then continuously used Xuan Class Dou Techniques to harass and provoke it.

Mountain Crushing Fist, Flame Dragon Palm...

After years of refinement, Xiao Ce had long honed the Xuan Class Dou Techniques he possessed to the point where he could use them at will, with minimal consumption.

Although Xuan Class Dou Techniques were less powerful than Earth Class Dou Techniques, their cost-effectiveness was extremely high.

Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon was even more of a divine technique for close combat. Its explosive bursts combined with low consumption left the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King temporarily unable to do anything to Xiao Ce. Irritated beyond measure, it could only repeatedly unleash large-scale attacks to compress Xiao Ce's room to evade.

And that was precisely what Xiao Ce had planned!

Amid the dense forest, explosions rang out without end. Like a loach, Xiao Ce deliberately guided the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King into causing widespread destruction while secretly drawing closer to a massive cave deep within the forest.

One had to know, this place...

Was within the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory!
