This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

As he watched the blood of the Blood Maned Demon Wolves seep into the soil below and vanish, Lu Qingshan's mood grew heavier.

Killing six Blood Maned Demon Wolves seemed like a significant victory on the surface.

But in reality, the essence blood of these wolves was accelerating the formation of the Blood River above the sky.

They had to speed up.

After dealing with these six Demon Wolves, Lu Qingshan and his group prepared to turn around and rush to Xu Hao's aid.

Roar—

The Green Savage Wolf, seeing its subordinates slaughtered in moments, let out a frustrated roar of impotence.

This human cultivator in front of it clung to it like a stubborn candy, refusing to let go.

The Golden Scale Armor on its body was extremely hard, impervious even to its sharp fangs and claws for the time being. Discover more content at empire

Its fierce wolf eyes saw Lu Qingshan and the others coming towards it after dealing with its wolf underlings.

The Green Savage Wolf, having developed a certain level of intelligence, suddenly flashed a eerie green light in its pupils.

Aware of the Green Savage Wolf's skills and habits, Lu Qingshan, seeing this, cursed inwardly, "Captain, be careful of its attack!"

As soon as he spoke, a sinister green magical light surged from the wide-open mouth of the Green Savage Wolf.

The intense light caused Lu Qingshan's eyes to sting unbearably.

Lu Qingshan quickly closed his eyes.

A meteor-sized, emerald green fireball burst from the mouth of the Green Savage Wolf and shot directly towards Xu Hao.

Bang!

The blast sounded thunderous.

When Lu Qingshan opened his eyes again, there was already a huge deep pit on the stone floor, with green flames flickering around its edge.

Xu Hao lay beside it, quite embarrassingly, the glow of his Golden Scale Armor somewhat dimmed.

If it weren't for hearing Lu Qingshan's warning, he would have moved aside in time, avoiding the direct hit from the fireball, fearing that it would have cost him half of his life.

Thinking about this still gave Xu Hao the shivers.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Captain, where's that Demon Wolf?" Li Zu, on high alert, noticed that the terrifying attacking Green Savage Wolf had vanished and feared that it might be lurking in some corner, waiting to ambush them.

"Seems like it ran away?" Xu Hao struggled to stand up, unsure.

"It did run." Lu Qingshan nodded, "This beast, having developed a certain intelligence, knew it couldn't withstand our combined strength of six, so fleeing in panic isn't surprising."

Su Shu, full of worry, rushed to Xu Hao's side to check his injuries, and once she confirmed that Xu Hao was alright, she let out a sigh of relief.

"It's good that it ran away. Otherwise, even if we managed to defeat the beast, we would definitely have expended a lot of Spiritual Power.

Right now, our Spiritual Power is more precious than water in the desert; it's always good to avoid pointless battles."

Lu Qingshan's heart was not relaxed, "It's not that simple. Demon Wolves are naturally vindictive and are good at tracking. We've slaughtered all of its underlings; it's unlikely to let this go so easily.

If I'm not wrong, it will continue to follow us and look for a chance to exact revenge!"

Xiao Zhi's expression changed, and he quickly scanned the surroundings, but he could not find any trace of the Green Savage Wolf.

"Should we take the initiative to find this beast and deal with it first?

If this beast keeps lurking in the shadows, eyeing us menacingly, it'll also be a great psychological burden for us."

Xu Hao shook his head, dismissing Xiao Zhi's suggestion, "There's no need. You must remember what our mission here is!"

What's most important now is to find the Underworld Cultivator hosting the Asura Blood Formation, destroy the formation, and thwart the grand schemes of the Netherworld.

This beast is so cunning, not to mention whether we can find it, but even if we can, it will certainly waste a lot of time, and our mission cannot afford any delays."

"The captain is right," Lu Qingshan agreed with a nod.

"We must leave this place quickly. With such a commotion, I'm afraid it will attract other demon beasts. If we're surrounded by them, it will be difficult for us to escape!" Zhong Ming warned aloud.

"Zhong Ming is right. Let's leave here quickly!"

...

After leaving the street where the fierce battle had just occurred, everyone reverted to their previous cautious progression.

However, the thought that a green savage wolf might still be lurking in the shadows, eyeing them ominously,

made everyone's heart shroud in a layer of gloom, knowing that any slip could lead to a sudden attack from the green savage wolf.

"Lu Qingshan, since you have a deep understanding of the Netherworld and these demon beasts' tactics, you will be in charge of leading and commanding us from now on." After pondering for a long time, Xu Hao walked up to Lu Qingshan and said earnestly.

Lu Qingshan was taken aback, then he looked into Xu Hao's serious eyes and slowly nodded in agreement, "Alright."

The other four cultivators of the Tiger Squad, although their expressions flickered, wondering what was on each other's minds, none voiced any objections.

Whether it was the battle at the Feiyun Sect or the recent brief encounter with the Demon Wolf, Lu Qingshan had demonstrated his profound understanding of the demon beasts' tactics.

Not to mention, not long before, Lu Qingshan had engaged in a thorough discussion with Dantai, the Deputy Tower Master, that had guided their course of action.

With Lu Qingshan in charge of commanding their movements, naturally, none could have any objections.

...

The sky grew increasingly dark, resembling the dense clouds that gather before a storm, making it impossible for the city's residents to discern day from night.

The air was thick with a nauseating scent of blood, oppressive and stifling as if blocking one's breath.

In a once luxurious estate in the western part of Zhenjiang,

hundreds of completely black avian creatures with monkey faces and dual wings on their backs circled endlessly around the estate, emitting harsh and hoarse sounds.

These were Monkey-faced Demon Crows, First Grade demon beasts.

Inside the estate, hundreds of ordinary citizens trembled as they looked up at the avian demons, sobbing quietly.

These hideously ugly Monkey-faced Demon Crows eyed the humans inside the estate with their malicious and bloodthirsty gaze.

The reason they continually circled above the estate without taking action was that they were being confronted by a significantly larger bird with an imposing presence.

The astounding aura of the giant bird restrained the natural ferocity of the Monkey-faced Demon Crows.

"Grandfather, the number of these demon birds is increasing, and soon, even the Black Feather Eagle might not be able to deter them!" Cai Xingchao expressed his concerns with a worried look.

Cai Heng looked troubled as well, his usually spotless white robe now stained with dark blood patches.

Clearly, Cai Heng had already been through a fierce battle.

A black silhouette stood quietly beside Cai Heng.

This was an ape beast, just over two meters tall, covered in half a foot of black fur, terrifying to behold, with white fangs and standing upright like a human. In its fur-covered hand, it held a dark iron rod.

This was another of Cai Heng's beast pets, a Second Grade violent ape demon, naturally strong and powerful in combat.

Cai Heng looked around at the many citizens sheltered within his family's estate and sighed helplessly.
