He secretly gathered Yuan force, preparing to launch a sudden attack, while using all his strength to lock Cang Luo in place, giving Zhang Youliang the perfect chance to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let you go? Fine. Just tell me who sent you and your brother to attack me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo was temporarily occupied holding Chen Da and pretended not to notice Zhang Youliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, every move Zhang Youliang made was under satellite surveillance—he remained completely unaware...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll tell, I’ll tell—it’s, it’s...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Da feigned intent to reveal the mastermind, actually aiming to distract Cang Luo and create an opening for Zhang Youliang’s ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Youliang’s heart raced as he crept closer to Cang Luo. One solid kick to the back of his skull would free Senior Chen—and there’d still be a chance to turn the tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered fleeing in this moment, but knew his injuries would prevent him from surviving the beast-infested woods. That’s why he chose to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer, closer—just a few steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Cang Luo hadn’t noticed him, Zhang Youliang burst with joy. He channeled all his Yuan force from his dantian into his right foot, ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that instant, Zhang Youliang’s heart jolted—he suddenly spotted a Fire-Devouring Wolf not far off, baring its fangs as it strolled toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified, Zhang Youliang scrambled backward, abandoning all thought of ambushing Cang Luo to save Chen Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could still tell the difference between dying now and dying later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire-Devouring Wolf’s strength equaled that of a Warrior Eighth Layer human cultivator. Though this one was lean, it had two heads—one mouth spitting searing flames, clearly targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Youliang knew this was a mutated beast—mutated beasts were stronger still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly fight it? How could he not run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Da also spotted the two-headed Fire-Devouring Wolf. His blood ran cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately whispered to Cang Luo: “Cang Luo, let me go—quickly! Only by joining forces can we kill it. Otherwise, you’ll die here too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Really? You seem very afraid of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo smiled, then casually turned his head toward the fleeing Zhang Youliang. “Erha, deal with that guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erha let out an excited howl, obeying his master Cang Luo’s command. He lunged at Zhang Youliang, circled in front of him, and unleashed a torrent of flame from his massive jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Injured and unable to dodge, Zhang Youliang was instantly engulfed in fire, screaming in agony...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Da stared in stunned disbelief at his subordinate, Zhang Youliang, consumed by flames. He could hardly believe it: “This—this is your beast companion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How... how is that possible!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can a Warrior-level cultivator still have enough Yuan force to fight after summoning a beast companion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Da’s eyes were filled with regret—he knew he was finished. Completely finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bitterly regretted not investigating Cang Luo’s true strength before acting so rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regretted not bringing enough of his gang’s men to help. But it was already too late...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo smiled. “You’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he called Erha over and made its left head open its foul-smelling maw to gently bite Chen Da’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The right head spat sparks at him, leaving several seared marks on Chen Da’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Erha restraining him, Cang Luo released Chen Da and patted Erha’s head in praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sat down, ended his cultivation, and halted the Destruction Body Divine Art. Instantly, he spat out a thick, crimson, turbid gas—the lingering side effect of the Destruction Body Divine Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s inner vision revealed blood vessels visible on the surface of several internal organs, but they had nearly fully healed under the endless Yuan force’s restoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing his body was unharmed, Cang Luo sneered at Chen Da: “I’ll ask again—who sent you and your brother to attack me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why target me? Tell me, and I’ll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I’ll let them bite you to death—one piece at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—bite you half to death!”\u003C\u002Fp>",2301,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f7cd0e72817f6386d9000a7df6b19275ae59966d7aeeada68226e33aef82b4e9","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-47","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-45",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
