Joining Forces Against the Wolf Demon, Saving Each Other

Just as Qin Chuan thought he was certain to die, a somewhat familiar voice rang out: "Freeze!"

It was Jin Pang!

He first threw out an immobilization talisman, then grabbed Qin Chuan and the Tianquan Sword and ran as fast as he could.

When Qin Chuan used the Heavenly Dipper Demon-Breaking Sword for the second time, Jin Pang had sensed trouble and hurriedly picked up his pace. He had arrived just in time.

"Junior Brother Qin, that was a life-saving talisman my grandfather gave me. It could immobilize a Late Golden Core Stage cultivator for a quarter of an hour, but it could only hold that False Nascent Soul Realm wolf demon for thirty breaths at most. How are you feeling now?" As he spoke, he took a pill from his storage bag and fed it to Qin Chuan, his face full of pained reluctance.

"What I just gave you was a supreme-grade Heavenly Origin Rejuvenation Pill. It can quickly restore a Golden Core cultivator's spiritual energy."

"The life-saving talisman and the supreme-grade Heavenly Origin Rejuvenation Pill are both incredibly precious. That old man of mine is stingy as hell and won't give me any good stuff. I only have a few treasures like those, so remember to pay me back."

Jin Pang kept muttering as he carried Qin Chuan away at top speed. By then, Qin Chuan had recovered his strength and caught his breath. He said, "Thank you for saving my life, Senior Brother Jin. I don't have those things, but I can pay you in spirit stones. Would that be all right?"

"Sure, but it'll have to be a little more than the market price. These are all good things that ordinary people can't buy." Jin Pang nodded in agreement.

"No problem, Senior Brother Jin. I can move now. Let me run on my own." Qin Chuan nodded in agreement. Jin Pang had saved his life; no amount of extra spirit stones would be too much.

He had originally partnered with Jin Pang only to use him. He had never expected that decision to save his life as well. Along with his relief, he also came to regard Jin Pang, his ally, with genuine sincerity.

"Run, my ass. Hurry up and recover. That wolf demon is already coming after us. If it catches up later, I'll drop you and run, so don't blame me." Jin Pang could already sense the wolf demon breaking free and chasing them. Only fifteen breaths had passed; it was stronger than he had imagined.

"When the time comes, I'll hold the wolf demon back for you, Senior Brother Jin. Besides, I was the one who caused this trouble in the first place. I won't drag you down." Qin Chuan swallowed a few more pills. He knew a great battle lay ahead. That bastard Heavenly Dao wanted him dead, but he wouldn't sit and wait to be captured.

Qin Chuan had a ruthless streak in him. If the Heavenly Dao wanted to use a False Nascent Soul wolf demon to kill him, he would kill the wolf demon first, then deal with that bastard Heavenly Dao's male and female leads and all the male supporting characters, and finally kill the bastard Heavenly Dao itself.

Before they had run far, a pack of wolf demons surrounded Jin Pang and Qin Chuan. Seeing this, Jin Pang couldn't help cursing. "Who the hell was responsible for clearing out this secret realm? What a bunch of trash. They didn't even clear out the False Nascent Soul wolf demon and the wolf pack. When I get out, I'm definitely telling my old man."

The wolf pack blocked Jin Pang and Qin Chuan's escape, while the False Nascent Soul wolf demon pursued them from behind. Jin Pang naturally chose to deal with the easier wolf pack. He hurled a fireball and burned two wolves to death.

"Don't..." Qin Chuan saw Jin Pang was about to attack and called out to stop him, but he was too late. Jin Pang had struck too quickly.

Jin Pang had only just dealt with two wolf demons when countless more charged at him in waves, intent on tearing him apart.

He immediately tossed Qin Chuan aside and dealt with the wolf demons lunging in to bite him. "What do you mean, don't? Hurry up and help me deal with them."

"Fine." Qin Chuan knew there was no use saying more. Jin Pang had already killed the wolf demons; whatever happened, it was a done deal.

Only one path lay before him and Jin Pang now: kill the entire wolf pack, then cut down the False Nascent Soul wolf demon behind them.

With the Tianquan Sword in hand, Qin Chuan cut down several wolf demons in a single strike. Jin Pang, a pill cultivator, was no slouch in battle either; one Fireball Technique could wipe out several wolf demons. In an instant, the two of them cleared away the wolf demons charging at them.

"Come on, let's escape through the air. These wolf demons can't fly yet." After cutting down the wolf demons in front of him, Qin Chuan was the first to leap into the air.

Jin Pang knew Qin Chuan was right. He immediately followed Qin Chuan's lead, leaping into the air and flying at full speed.

He had been running close to the ground to use the forest and winding mountain paths to slow the pursuing False Nascent Soul wolf demon. But now that the wolf pack had appeared, fleeing on the ground was no longer their best option.

The wolf pack had delayed them for a few breaths, and the False Nascent Soul wolf demon was already close to catching up. At their current speeds, it was only a matter of time before it reached them.

"Senior Brother Jin, we can't escape like this. I'm the one who dragged you into this. That False Nascent Soul wolf demon is after me, so let's split up," Qin Chuan suggested. Jin Pang had already saved him once, and he didn't want to drag him down.

"How about we use our teleportation tokens to get out?" Jin Pang still wanted to try to save his teammate Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly. He had checked his teleportation token as soon as the False Nascent Soul wolf demon started chasing him, and it no longer worked. The bastard Heavenly Dao wanted him dead, so Jin Pang's token surely wouldn't work either.

"Senior Brother Jin, the tokens don't work anymore. Let's hurry and split up."

Jin Pang refused to believe it and grabbed Qin Chuan, ready to use his token. "How could a teleportation token not work? Junior Brother Qin, I'll take you out..."

Before Jin Pang could finish, he discovered that the token didn't work. He cursed, "Damn it! It really doesn't work. What the hell are those good-for-nothings at Formation Peak doing? They even managed to mess up something meant to save lives. When I get back, I'll make the old man go to Formation Peak and demand justice."

"Senior Brother Jin, hurry and go a different way. That wolf demon is after me." Qin Chuan had already taken a different escape route, separating from Jin Pang. He didn't want to drag down the ally who had kindly saved him.

Jin Pang didn't hesitate either and took another route. Before they parted, he shouted with his back to Qin Chuan, "Junior Brother Qin, hang on! I'll get out right away and find an elder to come in and save you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jin!" Qin Chuan shouted back and fled with all his might.

But the plot was going wrong. Instead of chasing Qin Chuan, the False Nascent Soul wolf demon went after Jin Pang.

"Why isn't it chasing me...?" Qin Chuan still couldn't understand why, but he didn't hesitate to chase after Jin Pang and the False Nascent Soul wolf demon.

He was no saint, nor was he an absolutely good person, but Jin Pang had drawn the False Nascent Soul wolf demon's ire by saving him. He couldn't abandon Jin Pang and escape alone.

Jin Pang also realized that the False Nascent Soul wolf demon wasn't chasing Qin Chuan but was coming after him instead. A string of choice curses immediately burst from his mouth. "Fuck! Why is it chasing me instead of Qin Chuan? Is there something wrong with this wolf demon?"

The False Nascent Soul wolf demon was much faster than Jin Pang, who was at the Early Golden Core Stage. It had already caught up with him, and its claws were about to pierce his back.

Qin Chuan controlled the Tianquan Sword and sent it stabbing at the wolf demon. The wolf demon had no choice but to withdraw its claws to block the sword, and Jin Pang escaped with his life.

"Junior Brother Qin, why is this wolf demon chasing me instead of you?"

As soon as Jin Pang finished speaking, he realized his words sounded wrong and hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant..."

"Senior Brother Jin, it's probably because you have wolf demon blood on you. You must have gotten it on yourself by accident when you killed those wolf demons just now. Hurry and take off your clothes."

As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, he became locked in combat with the wolf demon. Fortunately, the wolf demon was only at the False Nascent Soul Realm and had yet to learn divine abilities, so it could only fight instinctively with its body. Qin Chuan's Tianquan Sword was also hard and sharp enough.

Clang, clank, clang.

Every sound came from the Tianquan Sword colliding with the wolf demon's claws. As Qin Chuan fought the wolf demon, he had to use his full strength every time he met its claws. After blocking several blows in succession, he had used up a great deal of spiritual energy.

"Junior Brother Qin, I'll help you." After throwing away his clothes, Jin Pang hurled fireballs at the wolf demon or launched sneak attacks when it clashed with Qin Chuan at close quarters.

With Jin Pang's help, Qin Chuan was still at a disadvantage against the wolf demon's attacks, but he finally had a chance to catch his breath.
