Chapter 481

"Exhilarating! Exhilarating!"

"Come again, come again!"

If the result of the battle Luo Chen was in on the Snow Wolf Plateau battlefield was the most important, then the battle between Fu Jiusheng and Wang Yuan was undoubtedly the most shocking.

For no other reason!

It was because the combat mode of the man and the wolf fighting within was too simple and crude.

They abandoned flashy magic treasures and external items, and discarded slow-releasing spells and demon arts.

All that remained was the man and the wolf colliding head-on, time and time again, risking their lives.

Neither of them was purely a body refiner.

Wang Yuan was bolstered by blood energy and force, while the Wolf King had demonic power covering its entire body.

Therefore, in the head-on collision, large amounts of invisible energy vented into the surroundings, stirring up a thousand layers of wind and snow.

Wang Yuan was fighting with great excitement!

Since stepping into the world of immortality, he hadn't fought this exhilaratingly for a long time.

His previous enemies either bullied him with numbers or had too high a realm, forming absolute suppression.

Those who occasionally dueled him with a single sword often only competed in combat techniques.

In terms of pure body-refining head-on collisions, perhaps only Luo Chen could let him go all out.

But Luo Chen, for the sake of cultivation, saved magic power and didn't want to cause too much of a stir, so he rarely sparred with him.

Only today!

With Fu Jiusheng holding the line, he had no more worries and could unleash his full strength to fight this Tier 3 early-stage Snow Wolf King.

Even if he suffered the most in every exchange.

But every time he retreated, he would come back again, entangling the opponent tightly.

In this process, he continuously operated the four great energy forces he had realized.

External Force, Internal Force, Neutralizing Force, and Dan Force.

Used in succession, alternating and changing, lingering around his entire body, allowing him to take the enemy's attacks time after time.

As blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he was filled with excitement.

"Luo Chen was right; my opportunity is not on the arena, but on the battlefield!"

"That feeling that just appeared... Yes, if I find that feeling again, I will definitely be able to gather my intent and embrace the Dan!"

Just as he was covered in injuries but his fighting spirit grew stronger with every fight.

Fu Jiusheng's joyful voice came from behind.

"The formation is complete; Wang Yuan, you hold this beast!"

Is the formation complete?

Wang Yuan felt a bit regretful.

He could feel that in this life-and-death battle, the feeling that had emerged several times was precisely the opportunity for him to gather his intent and embrace the Dan.

If he continued...

"Forget it, there will definitely be more battles later; I don't need to rush."

"Let's win this battle first!"

With a thought, his eyes blazed with fire, and he stepped out with his giant feet again, rushing toward the demon wolf.

As he ran, blood-colored giant pythons appeared on his back; these were the blood pythons condensed from Dan Force.

After approaching the demon wolf, he took a Demon Moon Slash head-on, and then the blood-colored pythons flew out, binding the Wolf King tightly.

Seeing him hold the demon wolf, Fu Jiusheng's formation was activated instantly.

Streaks of radiance rose from the ground.

They gathered in the air, condensing into a mirror.

The mirror suddenly inverted, emitting a beam of light as thick as a water bucket, which shot down and struck the Wolf King directly.

Boom!

"Awooo!"

A miserable, shrill scream was emitted suddenly.

Under that huge beam of light, the Wolf King was pressed directly onto the ground, completely unable to move.

"Alright, once hit by my formation, it cannot break free. Wang Yuan, you can withdraw."

Fu Jiusheng said with satisfaction.

He did not strangle the demon as he had said before, but instead had the idea of capturing it alive.

It was truly because Wang Yuan was too fierce and brave, winning him too much time.

In this case, since it could be captured alive, why kill it?

With such a Tier 3 demon king, whether it was used to guard a mountain or sold, it could reap huge profits.

His future cultivation resources might just depend on this Tier 3 Snow Wolf King.

Of course!

Wang Yuan had contributed greatly to this battle, and he was mentally prepared to share half the profits.

On the ground.

The blood-colored pythons slowly retracted and burrowed into Wang Yuan's body.

His Giant Spirit Transformation could not be maintained much longer.

As his figure slowly shrank, Wang Yuan looked at the gruesome wounds on his body where flesh and blood were flying, as well as the dislocated bones in his body, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He had won after all!

As for the breakthrough in realm, although he didn't break through under pressure on the battlefield.

But he had captured a glimpse of that feeling.

As long as he contemplated it well later...

Just as his mind relaxed, a faint sound suddenly arose in the void.

Like a spirit snake flicking its tongue, hissing for an instant.

Shoo!

Wang Yuan's soul was terrified; under the life-and-death crisis, he mobilized the energy force in his body to cover his entire body without regard for anything.

In his vision, a streak of white light flashed and disappeared.

Five hundred miles away from the Snow Wolf Plateau, on a small mountain.

A Daoist looked at the water mirror in front of him with satisfaction.

"Taking a strike from me, there is no chance of survival."

"This mission is considered complete!"

Just as he was about to leave with satisfaction.

A roar of rage exploded in the sky.

"Bastard!"

Accompanying the thunderous explosion was a giant palm print wreathed in endless green flames, which slammed down.

The Daoist frowned and raised a shield.

"Not right!"

The moment the shield made contact with the palm print, his expression changed drastically.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted suddenly.

The shield only blocked it for a moment before it disintegrated into pieces.

The flame palm print pressed down fiercely.

The entire small mountain was leveled in an instant.

The terrifying shockwave, centered on where the small mountain had originally been, pushed outward like a rumbling tide.

There were also strange flames that seemed capable of devouring life, permeating the surging shockwave.

This shocking scene stunned everyone.

Whoosh!

A red figure descended above the small mountain.

Looking at the huge crater on the ground and the endless dust, Luo Chen's face was gloomy.

His vast spiritual sense spread out like a net, covering the sky and earth, and his cold eyes, shimmering with spiritual light, scanned all directions.

Ran away?

"You petty thief, don't let me catch you!"

Luo Chen spat out harsh words hatefully, then flew to Fu Jiusheng's side without looking back.

"How is the situation?"

"Not good; the one who ambushed Wang Yuan was clearly a Core Formation cultivator, and this magic power is extremely insidious."

"Let me!"

Luo Chen did not hesitate, pressing one hand on the back of the unconscious Wang Yuan.

Pure wood-type spiritual energy surged in, searching for the insidious magic power that was continuously destroying Wang Yuan's body.

"Don't stay here; go quickly to deal with the demon beasts."

Fu Jiusheng hesitated, "Then this Snow Wolf King?"

A fierce look flashed across Luo Chen's face, and he waved his left hand; the Mysterious Fire Sword transformed into a meteor and pierced into the head of the struggling Tier 3 demon wolf.

When the Mysterious Fire Sword flew out from its body, the demon wolf no longer had any signs of life.

"Don't be blinded by small gains; remember our strategy this time!"

Fu Jiusheng looked at the demon wolf's corpse with regret, then joined the battle.

With his addition, the battle between men and wolves, which had been a fierce struggle, instantly became one-sided.

And the last surviving Wolf King was also quickly killed by the combined efforts of Diwu Qi, Jiang Yu, and Cen Qiusheng.

On Snow Wolf Plateau, the trend of victory was unstoppable!

Inside a canyon.

The masked Xiaoxiangzi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking leisurely at this unique terrain.

If one were to fight here, utilizing the terrain and setting up formations, even an ordinary Core Formation cultivator would find it hard to escape with their life!

Suddenly, his eyes moved.

Pfft!

On the ground, a figure crawled out.

As soon as he came out, he spat out a mouthful of blood steaming with heat.

Xiaoxiangzi frowned, "To assassinate a Foundation Establishment junior, why go to such lengths?"

The figure was extremely disheveled, and the Daoist robe he was wearing was full of traces of being scorched by fire.

He wiped the blood and said hatefully: "Why don't you go try it?"

Xiaoxiangzi looked him over for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Did Danchenzi make a move?"

The Daoist said with lingering fear: "It was him; it is rumored that this person is proficient in fire magic, and now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved. Even though his realm is not very high, a mere spell almost made me fall outside Snow Wolf Plateau."

"Did you expose your true face?"

The Daoist shook his head, "Being so far away, of course, I didn't expose it. The only trace left behind was probably that incomplete defensive magic treasure of mine, which was actually blasted into fragments by him."

In the world of immortality, there are so many magic tools and magic treasures.

Even rare magic treasures often have many of the same style in existence.

Relying on an incomplete defensive magic treasure, the opponent would definitely not be able to find the real culprit.

Xiaoxiangzi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. That Wang Yuan damaged the reputation of my Huanzhu Tower on the arena of Pòyuè Immortal City. If he isn't killed and allowed to continue to be active, the business of my Huanzhu Tower will not be easy to do in the future. By the way, is Wang Yuan dead?"

The Daoist's expression was hesitant.

Under Xiaoxiangzi's increasingly suspicious gaze, he hurriedly said: "He must be dead; can you not trust the means of me, Baosun Daoist?"

Xiaoxiangzi gave a grunt.

He knew how formidable Baosun Daoist was.

His realm was not high, and his head-on combat was not very strong, but he was a master of sneak attacks and assassinations.

Even in Huanzhu Tower, he was ranked among the top five gold-medal assassins.

Sending him to assassinate Wang Yuan was already using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; if this still couldn't succeed, he would have to consider whether to kick Baosun out of Huanzhu Tower.

"Alright, this matter is settled; you go back to the base to heal your injuries first!"

Baosun Daoist hesitated, "That Danchenzi has a personality of returning every grievance; I injured his subordinate, I'm afraid he won't let it go."

"Heh, why care about him." Xiaoxiangzi curled his lips, "His focus now is not on grudges and fighting; he won't trouble us. Besides... my Huanzhu Tower fears nothing more than trouble!"

Inside the belly of Snow Wolf Plateau.

Inside a huge cave filled with spiritual energy, Luo Chen continuously formed spiritual incantations with both hands.

Various medical arts were cast in turn.

At the end, he gritted his teeth and directly used achievement points to master the secret technique for clearing away foreign magic power that he had exchanged from Jin Buque of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

"Dragon-Slaying Technique"

Slay the evil dragon within the body to achieve a flawless body.

This technique was of Tier 4 grade, and it cost him a full fifty thousand spirit stones for Jin Buque to sell it to him.

However, the effect of this technique was also very unique.

Not only could it clear away foreign magic power, but once cultivated to the Great Perfection stage, even ghostly energy and filthy evil spirits could be removed.

After Luo Chen obtained it, besides giving a copy to Chu Kui, he also kept one for himself.

He discovered that this technique had the same effect as the Cleaning Technique.

He had intended to learn it slowly, but now that Wang Yuan was in critical condition, he couldn't wait.

Fortunately!

With the Great Perfection Cleaning Technique as a foundation, mastering this technique only cost Luo Chen twenty achievement points, which was still within an acceptable range.

When the "Dragon-Slaying Technique" was mastered, mysterious experiences surged in Luo Chen's heart.

Subsequently, pure magic power surged from his Core, following a unique circulation route to continuously slay the insidious magic power in Wang Yuan's body.

Several hours passed.

In the quiet room.

A black aura suddenly surged on Wang Yuan's face.

Immediately, he opened his mouth and spat.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of black blood landed on the ground, actually corroding the hard floor into bubbles.

Looking at this scene, Luo Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"How do you feel?"

Wang Yuan opened his eyes weakly and grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"I feel... great!"

"Eh?"

"I know how to gather my intent and embrace the Dan."

"Ah, this..."

Luo Chen, for a moment, didn't know what to say.

But now was not the time to discuss breakthroughs in realm.

He said directly: "I still have many things to do next; your injury requires quiet recuperation, and I cannot spend more magic power on you."

"Hmm, I know."

"Regarding that enemy..."

Wang Yuan pointed at his chest, where an insidious aura was faintly visible.

"No matter, I will solve this matter myself after I step into the Furnace Realm."

"As long as you know what you are doing; if you need help, just call me then."

Luo Chen nodded and, after leaving some healing pills for Wang Yuan, walked out of the cave.

When he arrived at the pitted and messy Snow Wolf Plateau.

Diwu Qi and the others surrounded him immediately.

"How is Wang Yuan?"

"He is fine; his life is saved."

Luo Chen did not mention that Wang Yuan had turned a misfortune into a blessing and grasped the opportunity for advancement.

There was no need to mention it; he only stated the decision to let Wang Yuan stay on Snow Wolf Plateau to heal.

The others naturally had no objections.

In this battle, Wang Yuan had shown his value, being able to resist Tier 3 demon beasts head-on.

This ability could barely be counted as a Core Formation-level combat force.

Fu Jiusheng felt a bit guilty; he had only been concerned with suppressing that Wolf King and hadn't had time to guard against the sneak attack.

Wang Yuan had fought side-by-side with him after all.

Almost falling to a sneak attack, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Diwu Qi didn't have such feelings; he asked impatiently: "So now, what do we do?"

At this moment, the moon was high, and white snow and blood were mixed together, emitting an indescribably disgusting, fishy smell.

At the foot of the mountain, streaks of light rose and fell as they cleaned up the battlefield.

As Luo Chen's gaze wandered, those who met his eyes hurriedly stopped their work and bowed respectfully to him.

It was not just the Luo Tian Sect cultivators; even the cultivators from the Cen family and the Wind and Rain Villa acted this way.

At the beginning of the battle, they had clearly seen Luo Chen single-handedly resist the attacks of the three demon wolves against the low-level cultivators.

Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen pursed his lips and said: "No time to lose; Snow Wolf Plateau is settled, next target: Huimeng Ridge!"

Hearing this, the four felt their spirits lift.

They had already investigated clearly that Snow Wolf Plateau was a top-grade small Tier 3 spirit vein, enough to supply three Core Formation cultivators for continuous cultivation.

If they could follow the established strategy and take down Huimeng Ridge and Tieqing Mountain, they would have no worries about cultivation in the future.

Luo Chen began to issue orders.

Cen Qiusheng would lead all the alliance cultivators to stay and guard Snow Wolf Plateau.

Fu Jiusheng would also stay.

However, his task was to set up formations, draw the power of the earth veins, and prepare to move mountains for Luo Chen and the others at any time.

Then there were Diwu Qi and Jiang Yu, who would board the Red Flame Dragon Boat with him and head toward Huimeng Ridge.

The reason for calling these two was that the three of them had fought side-by-side not long ago and already had some tacit understanding.

And with the alliance treaty, there was no worry about anyone stabbing them in the back.

The three boarded the Red Flame Dragon Boat together.

Xu Huanzhen did not hesitate, commanding the Luo Tian Sect cultivators under his command to drive this behemoth.

Under the cover of night, the huge flying boat began to turn slowly.

Then it flew toward the south.

In the quiet room, Luo Chen checked his own state.

After a fierce battle and healing Wang Yuan, his magic power was still at about sixty percent.

As for the magic treasures in his hand, the Mysterious Fire Sword was fine, and the three Soul-Breaking Nails were also undamaged.

Only the Heavenly Moon Purple-Gold Wheels had slight damage during the process of scraping the Snow Wolf King, and they were stained with a lot of the filthy power from Jiang Yu's Rain-Summoning Banner, causing damage to their spirituality.

However, Jiang Yu was also very generous and sent the antidote over.

Luo Chen was now sprinkling the specially made detoxifying spiritual liquid onto the Heavenly Moon Purple-Gold Wheels.

The spirituality of this magic treasure was also gradually beginning to recover.

But wanting to recover to its initial peak state was still far off.

That is how set magic treasures are.

Their power is extremely strong, but the disadvantage is that they are difficult to control and easily damaged.

"When I have time, I must ask the cultivators of Tianfan City to repair them slightly."

Luo Chen put away the Heavenly Moon Purple-Gold Wheels, and two high-grade spirit stones appeared in his hand.

He operated his life-bound cultivation technique and began to seize the time to absorb spiritual energy and convert it into magic power.

Time passed slowly...

By dawn.

Diwu Qi's voice came from outside the door.

"Fellow Daoist, we have arrived at Huimeng Ridge!"

Luo Chen opened his eyes, and a clear, sharp light flashed and disappeared.

His whole body transformed into a clear breeze, floating out of the quiet room.
