Coming to the Rescue

Although Gulanxiu was not traveling at full speed to conceal his tracks, he still advanced at roughly three hundred kilometers per second.

In truth, if not for the need to hide, he could have moved more than ten times faster, and even this was slowed by the immense gravity of the Bloodfall Continent.

If he were in the vacuum of cosmic space, Gulanxiu could fly tens of thousands of miles per second at full acceleration.

Traveling at such high speed, it took only the better part of a day for Gulanxiu to reach the edge of the Blood Spirit Grassland. With his eyesight, he could already faintly make out the towering city millions of kilometers away.

That city was his destination for this journey: Danyang City.

Danyang City was a world city bordering the Blood Spirit Grassland. Having just obtained this batch of Bloodfall Crystals, Gulanxiu needed a quiet place to refine them. The Blood Spirit Grassland was bound to become turbulent soon, making it unsuitable for him to remain. The nearest city, Danyang City, was his best choice.

Just then, Gulanxiu detected a battle ahead. He suppressed his aura and stealthily moved forward, arriving at the scene moments later.

A pack of cyan giant wolf beasts was besieging a human squad.

Both sides in the fight were at the Cosmic Level.

There were over a hundred cyan giant wolves, while the human squad numbered only twelve, putting them at an absolute numerical disadvantage.

The twelve formed a circle, protecting a Star Level youth in the center. Even though they were on the losing side due to the sheer disparity in numbers, they dared not retreat an inch.

Fortunately, the twelve fought with tacit understanding and had slightly higher average levels than the giant wolves, allowing them to barely hold their ground.

But Gulanxiu knew this was only temporary, because outside the battle circle stood a silver-white giant wolf, about ten meters in length, with a crescent mark on its brow, standing proudly.

Judging by the aura of that giant wolf, it was roughly at Cosmic Level 9 in strength. Compared to the silver-armored guards, whose highest cultivation was only Cosmic Level 6, this level gap was difficult to bridge.

After all, not everyone could fight across multiple levels like the geniuses of the human race. Generally, being able to defeat an opponent one minor level higher was already considered exceptional combat prowess.

Moreover, that giant wolf was no ordinary Cosmic Level 9. Gulanxiu faintly sensed the presence of a domain on it.

A domain was one of the prerequisites for becoming a Domain Lord. Countless Cosmic Level 9 cultivators were stuck at this step, unable to break through for their entire lives!

This silver giant wolf had comprehended a domain, placing one foot into the Domain Lord level. It was far beyond what those silver-armored guards could contend with.

Sure enough, after about two or three minutes, the silver giant wolf grew impatient seeing the pack unable to break through. It raised its head and let out a "Woo-oo!" howl at the sky.

Hearing this howl, the leader of the silver-armored guards changed expression and said to the silver giant wolf, "Wolf King! We are guards of the Liu Family from Danyang City. Our family head is a Domain Level 6 powerhouse. We left the city on his orders to bring the young master to the Blood Spirit Grassland for training. We stumbled into your territory unintentionally and mean no offense! Please grant us passage!"

The silver giant wolf replied coldly, "The Blood Spirit Grassland is no place for you humans to run wild. Even if your family head is at the comprehension level, not even a World Level cultivator has the right to indiscriminately hunt my kin on the grassland. Rest assured, none of you are leaving today!"

As soon as the silver giant wolf finished speaking, it let out another "Woo-oo!" howl!

The hundred-plus giant wolves besieging the silver guards instantly went berserk upon hearing this howl, attacking recklessly without fear of injury.

Relying on their absolute numerical advantage, within moments, two silver-armored guards were killed by the wolf pack.

To their credit, even after losing two companions in quick succession, the remaining guards refused to retreat a single step, desperately shielding the Star Level youth.

Seeing this, Gulanxiu knew it was time to act, or these humans would be wiped out.

Gulanxiu shot forward instantly, and an earthy yellow domain spread out, enveloping the battlefield.

The giant wolves and guards in the midst of battle suddenly felt their bodies grow heavy, as if a great mountain had pressed down on them, making movement difficult.

The youth protected at the center fared even worse, instantly crushed to the ground by the immense pressure.

Gulanxiu swung the giant axe in his hand, and a blade of light flew out.

The moment it left the axe edge, the blade split into over a hundred streaks, one for each giant wolf besieging the guards.

At that moment, the silver giant wolf, which had been watching coldly, showed a flicker of surprise in its eyes.

Gulanxiu had gotten so close, yet it had sensed nothing until he made his move.

Though surprised, the giant wolf reacted quickly! A pale cyan domain expanded outward from the wolf, merging with Gulanxiu's domain in an instant!

At the same time, cyan wind blades shot out from the domain, meeting Gulanxiu's axe light head-on.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The sounds rang out continuously!

Where the two domains merged, it was like hot oil meeting water, instantly boiling over.

However, the silver giant wolf's wind blades were clearly inferior in condensed power to Gulanxiu's axe light. The moment they clashed, the wind blades were shattered.

The axe light only dimmed slightly.

Under the pressure of the domain, the cyan giant wolves could barely move. Facing the fierce axe light, aside from a few Cosmic Level 5 wolves that could raise their paws to block, most could hardly dodge fully, only managing to twist their bodies to avoid vital spots.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" The sounds rang out without pause. All hundred-plus cyan giant wolves were wounded, though the axe light had been somewhat weakened by the wind blades, allowing them to barely escape with their lives!

At this point, the guard captain looked at Gulanxiu in the distance and said excitedly to the youth surrounded by them, "Young Master Liu Jiang! We're saved! A supreme powerhouse has come to our rescue!"

The youth called Liu Jiang replied with equal excitement, "Yes! We're so lucky! To be saved in a situation like this! Uncle Li! What domain level do you think this senior is? Is he as strong as my father?"

The guard leader, addressed as Uncle Li, shook his head and said, "Young Master, you overestimate me! Whether it's this senior or the family head, their strength far surpasses mine. How could I possibly discern the gap between them?"

In truth, Uncle Li wasn't being entirely honest. After making his move, Gulanxiu had stopped hiding his aura, and his Cosmic Level 9 cultivation was fully exposed. Aside from the Star Level young master Liu Jiang, all the other guards and the giant wolves had basically figured it out.
