982. Chapter 980: Utterly Powerless to Resist

Roar!

At the same time, a low, rumbling howl echoed from deep within the canyon, deafening, as if the ghosts of the Nine Abyss were roaring.

"What, what monster is that?" Hearing this howl, Lu Yuan's eyes widened in panic.

In his sight, a demon wolf rivaling an eighth-rank king beast came charging from the canyon depths, its body crimson red, its fur like steel needles, sharp and flashing with a terrifying scarlet light.

Especially, its eyes burned with blazing flames, exuding a bloodthirsty, ferocious aura.

Howl!

In the blink of an eye, the demon wolf lunged before Lu Yuan, suddenly raising its head and letting out a long howl.

Instantly, rolling sound waves swept forth like a tide, causing the void to tremble.

Lu Yuan had no strength to resist; in an instant he was shaken so hard he spat blood, his body shuddered violently, and he stumbled backward.

"This, this demon wolf has actually reached the level of an eighth-rank king beast; it can be called a royal demon beast."

"Good grief, fortunately this demon wolf seems to be asleep; otherwise I would surely die!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure washing over him, Lu Yuan's soul nearly fled his body, and a deep shade of alarm flashed in his eyes.

However, upon seeing the demon wolf, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Good thing, this demon wolf hasn't awakened; it's merely in a state of arousal, otherwise I would already be a pile of dry bones."

"No way, since this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I must desperately escape this forbidden land."

Lu Yuan wiped the blood from his mouth, then gritted his teeth and stood up, turning to run toward the canyon depths.

Whoosh! His speed was lightning-fast; in just a few breaths he had covered a hundred meters.

Unexpectedly, at that moment the demon wolf roared again, then suddenly leapt out, baring its fangs and claws, and slammed down hard at Lu Yuan.

Instantly, a mighty, overwhelming demonic energy surged forth, making Lu Yuan's liver and gall feel as if they were about to burst.

Boom! Under that vast pressure, Lu Yuan had no ability to resist at all, and the demon wolf slapped him squarely on the chest.

Pfft!

Lu Yuan suffered heavy injuries, vomiting blood repeatedly and rolling several zhang away.

He struggled to his feet, about to flee, when the demon wolf already lunged at him.

"It's over..." Seeing this, Lu Yuan fell into utter despair, dropping to his knees and waiting for death to arrive.

However, to his surprise, the demon wolf did not deliver a killing blow.

"Huh?"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, looking ahead with anticipation, only to see the demon wolf extend its claw and press it against his shoulder.

Whoosh!

Immediately after, the demon wolf probed into his nostrils and began licking his wound with its tongue.

Hum! Instantly, rolling demonic energy poured into Lu Yuan's body, repairing his injuries.

"This, this demon wolf is actually helping me heal my wounds?"

"Could it be that this demon wolf already knows me?"

Lu Yuan was first stunned, then overjoyed, his heart filled with excitement.

"Roar..." At this moment, the demon wolf stopped licking the wound and let out a low growl.

Swish! The next moment, the demon wolf turned and strode toward the canyon depths.

"Sir, where are you going?" Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"I will personally slay Lu Yuan to avenge you." The demon wolf halted, turned and glanced at Lu Yuan, its eyes icy cold, brimming with murderous intent. Roar! As it spoke, it raised its claw and swung, striking Lu Yuan squarely on the chest.

A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out.

Lu Yuan let out a miserable scream, his body flying backward and crashing into the woods a hundred meters away, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Great, great sir, spare my life, I was wrong, please don't kill me!" Lu Yuan struggled to his feet and kowtowed to the demon wolf begging for mercy.

"Hehe, want to live? Then follow me!" The demon wolf gave a sinister grin, then leapt onto a huge tree.

"Keep up!" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to pursue.

Whoosh! Just after Lu Yuan left the spot for a moment, two figures descended abruptly; they were two young men.

One of them, a white-robed youth about seventeen or eighteen, was handsome and tall, giving an air of extraordinary nobility.

The other, a purple-robed youth about twenty, had a sharp, angular face, conveying a sense of unruliness and defiance.

"Big brother, is there really treasure here?" the purple-robed youth asked.

"Probably not wrong." The white-robed youth nodded and said, "That guy just now should be Lu Yuan of the Lu Family; it's a shame he got away."

"Lu Yuan? What should we do now? Should we still go in to look for treasure?" the purple-robed youth inquired.

"We came late; there must be plenty of treasure inside, and not going in would be a great pity." The white-robed youth sighed lightly.

"Mm, big brother's right; let's hurry in." The purple-robed youth nodded, and the two deployed their Shenqi, swiftly entering the canyon depths.

Soon, the two arrived deep in the canyon, their gazes sweeping and finally landing on a cliff not far away.

There, a luxuriant ginseng fruit tree stood, each fruit crystal clear and translucent, exuding a tempting fragrance.

"Haha, we found it; the rumors were indeed true!"

"Legend says this 'Spirit Origin Fruit' was cultivated by a martial master over half a month; the fruit contains potent medicinal power, and consuming it not only increases true essence strength but also tempers the flesh."

"Although these fruits are valuable, for us they are merely an added bonus."

The purple-robed and white-robed youths exchanged an excited smile and were about to gather the fruits.

Boom—! Unfortunately, as they approached the ginseng fruit tree, a deafening thunderous roar suddenly rang out.

The next moment, the entire canyon shook, sand and gravel flying, rocks crumbling like clouds.

An extremely terrifying aura spread out, causing the white-robed and purple-robed youths' faces to change, revealing deep apprehension.

Immediately after, two dull thuds sounded, and the white-robed youth and the purple-robed youth were flung sideways, slamming hard into the rock wall, nearly passing out.

They raised their heads, looking at the huge demon wolf not far away, their pupils constricted, faces filled with horror.

"How... how can this demon wolf's cultivation be so profound? It's actually a fourth-rank peak demon beast!" The white-robed youth swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face full of panic.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" the purple-robed youth asked anxiously.

"Hmph! A mere fourth-rank peak demon beast, it can't stop this king." Hearing those words, the white-robed youth gave a cold shout, then leapt forward and charged at the giant demon wolf.

Roar! The giant demon wolf let out an angry roar, exuding a ferocious aura from its whole body, and immediately lunged at the white-robed youth.

Boom! In an instant, the two collided, erupting with a tremendous sound like towering waves.

Accompanied by a piercing screech, the white-robed youth staggered back five or six steps before stabilizing his stance.

In contrast, the giant demon wolf merely paused briefly before charging again, its attack extremely fierce.

"Wow, what incredible speed!" Seeing this, the white-robed youth turned pale with fright.

"Big brother, save me!" He shouted in utter terror, desperately calling for help. (End of chapter)
