"Good People" Die Young, the Wolf King Secured

Half an hour later, Lang Ya impatiently waved the broadsword in his hand. For some reason, he felt deeply uneasy, but when he looked at Qin Yi beside him, who was as steady as an old dog, he forced himself to calm down. Even a good-for-nothing young master wasn't panicking, yet he, a dignified Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, was actually afraid. It was too humiliating.

Seeing how impatient Lang Ya was, Qin Yi felt just as uncertain. Why was the Beast Soul Incense working so slowly this time? Had he scattered too little? Qin Yi could only pretend to be calm. If he dared show even the slightest flaw, Lang Ya would tear him apart before the wolf pack even arrived.

While Qin Yi and Lang Ya were resting, Lang Ya's expression suddenly changed. "This is bad! How did the wolf pack find us?"

Qin Yi was delighted, but he still pretended to be afraid as he asked Lang Ya, "Which direction are they in?"

Lang Ya's face was grim as he forced the words out. "Every direction. We're surrounded."

Qin Yi's expression changed drastically. What was going on? No wonder the wolf pack had taken so long to find them. It turned out they had already surrounded them.

Lang Ya was extremely agitated. He asked Qin Yi, "When exactly is that elder of yours coming? If he doesn't get here soon, we'll both die here."

"I don't know either. That old man already has plenty against me in the Lineage. He might be doing this on purpose, but he definitely wouldn't dare let me die." Qin Yi was still talking his way out of it. After all, things had already come this far, so he had to play his part to the end. If he was going to trap someone, he had to see it through.

"Bastard!" Hearing that Qin Yi was out of favor, Lang Ya couldn't help cursing. If he was being pushed aside, why hadn't he said so earlier?

"There's no other way, Brother Lang. I'll draw the wolf pack away, and you go kill the wolf king. That's our only sliver of hope," Qin Yi said solemnly.

Lang Ya gripped his broadsword, circulated his spiritual power wildly, and turned to charge at the wolf king directing the pack in the distance. When Qin Yi saw Lang Ya leave, he took out Cangyuan at an unhurried pace. Looking at the wolves gradually closing in around him, Qin Yi was filled with fighting spirit.

"Heavenly lightning, earthly fire!"

Several bolts of lightning descended from the nine heavens, striking a few wolves near the front. The wolves hit were scorched in an instant. The pack immediately stopped, circling Qin Yi and taking up attacking stances.

Boom!

A great mass of flames suddenly erupted from beneath the ground and exploded amid the wolves before they could react. Sparks landed on their fur and instantly burst into flames. A gap appeared in the pack's encirclement, and Qin Yi flashed through it.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash."

Qin Yi couldn't help mocking the wolves pursuing him relentlessly. Just then, the wolf king howled in the distance. The pack behind Qin Yi instantly changed formation, and the wolves at the front opened their mouths and spat out a volley of icicles.

"Damn it!"

Qin Yi had no choice but to turn and throw several talismans behind him. With a boom, the icicles were blown apart, but Qin Yi slowed down as well.

While Qin Yi was playing chase with the wolf pack, Lang Ya finally reached the Silver Moon Wolf King. Looking at the enormous creature before him, Lang Ya tightened his grip on his broadsword. Today, the wolf king had to die!

"Awoo!" The wolf king let out a howl and charged at Lang Ya. Lang Ya didn't dare be careless and hurriedly dodged backward. "Damn it, try this!" Lang Ya threw out several fiery-red pearls. They were Explosive Flame Pearls he had obtained by chance, and he had never used them before.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion rang out, and even Qin Yi couldn't help glancing in Lang Ya's direction. When the smoke cleared, the wolf king charged out and struck Lang Ya with a claw, sending him flying backward. Although Lang Ya had raised his blade across his chest in advance to block the claw, the wolf king's blow had still shaken and injured his internal organs.

Pfft!

Lang Ya abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face grim. The wolf king was also in a sorry state. A large patch of its once snow-white fur had been scorched. It bared its teeth and watched Lang Ya warily; the human's attack just now had hurt it badly.

Lang Ya's expression turned savage. He held his broadsword across his chest and looked at the wolf king with a vicious grin. "Hmph, die!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Lang Ya forced a drop of Essence Blood into the blade. The broadsword was instantly covered in scorching flames, and even the air warped.

"Heaven-Surging Flames!"

Lang Ya swung his blade down, sending a streak of fiery-red blade Qi rushing toward the wolf king. The rapidly rising temperature made the wolf king extremely uneasy. It slammed both front paws into the ground, raising a huge wall of ice. Boom! The blade Qi collided with the ice wall, sending a violent shock wave surging outward and drawing the attention of Qin Yi and the wolf pack.

Crack!

A fissure opened in the ice wall, followed by more and more cracks. Finally, with a crisp crack, the wall shattered completely, and the blade Qi hurtled straight at the wolf king. Though the ice wall had held it back for an instant, the wolf king couldn't dodge in time. The blade Qi severed one of its hind legs.

Seeing this, Lang Ya's eyes turned bloodshot. He pressed his advantage and charged at the wolf king to kill it. Qin Yi didn't dare slack off in the distance either. He lured the wolf pack toward Lang Ya. "If you don't go to hell, who will?"

"Senior, save me!" Seeing that the wolf king was about to be defeated, Qin Yi shouted urgently.

"You..." Lang Ya was so furious with Qin Yi that he couldn't speak. He had just forced out a drop of Essence Blood. If he didn't kill the wolf king now, he would die too once it rejoined the pack. Suppressing his weakness, Lang Ya slashed the wolf king across the back. It immediately cried out in pain and hurriedly leaped toward the pack.

And so a comical scene unfolded on the wasteland: a muscular man covered in blood was chasing and hacking at a three-legged wolf, while ahead of them were the approaching wolf pack and a young man being chased by the wolves.

"Pfft!"

Lang Ya was struck by an icicle spat out by the wolf king, and his speed dropped at once. His spiritual power was exhausted, and weakness washed over him. Lang Ya stopped where he stood, powerless. The wolf king was about to rejoin the pack when a long spear wreathed in lightning shot toward it, piercing its neck in an instant. Without losing speed, it buried itself in Lang Ya's chest. The wolf king and Lang Ya both fell to the ground.

"You, you... tricked me." Kneeling on the ground, Lang Ya raised his head with difficulty and looked at Qin Yi. Qin Yi walked coldly past him, pulled the spear from his chest, and pointed its tip toward the heavens.

"Divine lightning of the nine heavens, majestic might of heaven, heed my command and descend!"

Boom!!!

Bolt after bolt of lightning thundered across the sky before falling on the wolf pack. "Awoo!" Wails immediately rose from the wolves. Seeing that the wolf king was dead, the remaining wolves fled back the way they had come. Before long, the entire wasteland fell silent.

Qin Yi walked to the wolf king and put its corpse into his Storage Bag. He then went over to Lang Ya's body. Seeing the resentment and bitterness on Lang Ya's face, Qin Yi crouched down and closed his eyes.

"If I hadn't killed you first, you wouldn't have let me live either. So you had to die!"
