Chapter 93: Ten-Thousand Year Blood Wolf!

Creak, creak, creak~

The sound of teeth grinding against bone rang out; Xu Nian'an held Zhang Lexuan tightly with his right hand, and the pain coming from his left hand couldn't help but make him frown.

"Get... the hell off!"

Following an angry shout, a purple Soul Ring slowly floated out from within Xu Nian'an's body.

"Second Soul Skill, Mysterious Ice Shield!"

After a flash of blue-white light, the temperature around Xu Nian'an instantly dropped to freezing, and the blood wolf biting his right hand was instantly frozen into an Ice Sculpture.

"Shatter!"

Bang!

Clatter—after freeing his left hand from the blood wolf's bite, an Ice Shield slowly condensed in Xu Nian'an's hand, which he then smashed down heavily.

In an instant, the frozen blood wolf was smashed into ice shards.

Hum~

A pale purple Soul Ring slowly floated out.

"You go back first."

Xu Nian'an's right hand flashed, a white shirt appeared, and he brought it to his mouth, biting down hard.

Rip~

The white shirt instantly tore into strips of cloth; after wrapping it around his left hand a few times, Xu Nian'an used his mouth to bite the other end and tie a knot for himself. A moment later, the blood began to flow out more slowly.

"Junior Brother, be careful!"

Zhang Lexuan was not a hesitant person; knowing she currently had no ability to help Xu Nian'an and not wanting to be a burden or cause him to lose focus, she took one last look at the wound bound on Xu Nian'an's left hand and retreated behind him.

Xu Nian'an glanced at the blood wolf corpse shattered into ice shards on the ground, as well as the Thousand-year Soul Ring floating in mid-air, and a cold sneer curled the corner of his mouth.

Things have become a bit troublesome.

Behind him, Zhang Lexuan looked at this pack of wolves in confusion, not knowing why they would appear here.

Although this was the Core Area, this godforsaken place shouldn't have any Soul Beasts coming here, and furthermore, from what Xu Nian'an had said before, Zhang Lexuan knew this was the territory of Xiong Er's mother.

One must know, this was the territory of a Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear infinitely close to seventy thousand years; even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast wouldn't provoke a Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear of such high age that also had a cub, would it?

As her gaze flickered, Zhang Lexuan saw a blood wolf about two meters long in the pack with something in its mouth.

After seeing clearly what the item in its mouth was, Zhang Lexuan's pupils shrank.

"No... no, how could this be?"

That thing was nothing else but the clothes she had discarded after taking a bath.

After seeing clearly the age of this pack of blood wolves, Zhang Lexuan panicked a little.

Looking at Xu Nian'an standing in front of her, she slowly shook her head.

She hadn't expected that the clothes she discarded would actually bring about a catastrophe for her.

"It's a good thing it's a small wolf pack, otherwise... I really would have been done for here."

Xu Nian'an looked at the remaining ten blood wolves in front of him and twisted his bitten left hand.

This pack of blood wolves—at least the ones Xu Nian'an could see in front—were only around a thousand years old.

A pack of dozens of blood wolves with only thousand-year Spirit Power, to be honest, would be a catastrophe even for a Soul King to face.

But for Xu Nian'an, while not exactly easy, it wasn't so thorny that he couldn't handle it.

Grrr~

Following a series of grumbling sounds, the blood wolves collectively emitted a sound similar to a warning.

Xu Nian'an raised his left hand; drip, a drop of blood fell from the bandage on the wound, and instantly their eyes began to turn red one by one, and a bloody red aura appeared all over their bodies.

The reason blood wolves are called blood wolves is because when they smell the scent of blood, a special flame is born within their bodies.

This flame burns the soul power stored in their bodies, achieving a special soul skill that causes their strength to skyrocket in a short period of time.

Howl!

Facing provocation, even if this person is a Soul Master, even if this person just killed one of their kin in a single strike.

The blood wolves would not be afraid; after smelling the scent of blood, they would only become more insane.

Watching the blood wolves pouncing toward him, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes, his right hand's Storage Ring flashed, and a long sword appeared.

At the core of the hilt was a cyan Level 2 Soul Guidance Device core.

This was the first Level 2 Soul Guidance Device Xu Nian'an had made, but for some reason, Xian Lin'er didn't think highly of it.

Therefore, at the time, she did not give Xu Nian'an the Level 2 Soul Guidance Master Medal.

Clang!

Following the sound of metal clashing, the blood wolf's sharp claws grabbed heavily onto the long sword in Xu Nian'an's hand.

Sparks flew in an instant.

Howl!

"Nian'an, watch your back!"

The moment Xu Nian'an was engaged in battle, a blood wolf snuck behind him, preparing to give Xu Nian'an a taste of wolf-tribe specialty culture: disembowelment!

Xu Nian'an's Soul Saint-level Spiritual Power expanded; let alone his back, even within several hundred meters, every corner he could perceive was seen clearly.

Being disemboweled by a wolf-type Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Sorry, that doesn't exist.

Xu Nian'an placed his left hand behind his back, an Ice Shield formed instantly, and at the same time, his feet didn't stop, as he lifted a foot and kicked out at the blood wolf deadlocked with his long sword.

Bang!

Following an explosive sound, the blood wolf fell heavily to the ground; at the same time, the blood wolf behind Xu Nian'an that wanted to disembowel him slammed into him.

Xu Nian'an lunged forward, stumbling several meters before steadying his figure; seeing this scene, the blood wolves surrounding the pack instantly became agitated.

Two more blood wolves walked out, quickly pouncing toward Xu Nian'an's legs.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes.

"Since you are so eager to die, then I will... fulfill your wish!"

As his voice fell, another purple Soul Ring rose from Xu Nian'an's body.

"First Soul Skill, Mysterious Ice Shock!"

Following Xu Nian'an's roar, a giant Black Tortoise slowly emerged behind him; the Black Tortoise raised its two front claws high, then brought them down heavily.

Bang! Bang! Boom!!!

As the Black Tortoise stomped violently in front, the surrounding trees collapsed, and a blue light centered on Xu Nian'an instantly spread outward.

Zzzzt!

Around Xu Nian'an, the blood wolves that wanted to attack him only felt a turbulent, agonizing pain inside their bodies, and the next second, they were instantly frozen in place and shattered into pieces of gore.

The internal organs inside had clearly already turned into mush.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lexuan, not far away, covered her small mouth.

"The power of this soul skill has likely already reached the ten-thousand-year level, right?"

In reality, she had not guessed wrong; to avoid exposing the true color of his Soul Rings, Xu Nian'an had used Mental Simulation on his first and second Soul Rings, which had long since broken through to the ten-thousand-year level, making them revert to their original purple.

"Leave, and you still have a chance to survive, otherwise... die!"

Xu Nian'an's cold voice rang out; at this moment, there was still one blood wolf in front of him with its limbs frozen, constantly howling.

Not far away, there was still a group of blood wolves, half their original number, watching covetously.

Hum~ Puchi!

Xu Nian'an did not hesitate; he raised his hand, and his long sword fell heavily, sending a wolf head flying into the distance.

A purple Soul Ring slowly floated up from the corpse.

Tap, tap, tap~

The wolf pack parted, and a blood wolf over two meters long with eerily green and red eyes slowly walked out.

Xu Nian'an looked at its size, then looked at the size of the surrounding blood wolves.

He confirmed that this guy was likely the wolf king.

"Junior Brother Nian'an, be careful; the age of this blood wolf has likely already exceeded ten thousand years."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an perked up slightly; he hadn't expected to be fighting a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast so soon.

The sun set in the west, upstream of the river, above the Waterfall, a touch of gold glimmered slightly.

"Is this that black-purple light?"

"Let me see what is so remarkable about you!"

As the golden light on the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's body shone and the Auspicious Power spread, the surrounding forest suddenly began to grow restless.

(PS: Damn, I never expected today to be the Qixi Festival; I won't beat Er Gou today, I'll kill a ten-thousand-year single wolf to liven things up.

Finally, I wish everyone: may all lovers eventually become siblings. For those without lovers, may your parents urge you to marry every day...)
