983. Chapter 981 Fleeing Hastily

"Monster, don't hurt my brother!"

At the critical moment, the white-robed youth shouted loudly, brandishing his long sword and slashing forward.

Clang— the sound of metal striking metal rang out, sparks flying.

Under the giant demon wolf's sharp claws, the white-robed youth's palm went numb, almost unable to grip his battle sword.

"Hiss!" At the same time, he sucked in a breath of cold air, sweat covering his forehead.

He knew that with his third-rate martial cultivator level, he could not possibly shake this giant demon wolf, let alone have the qualifications to oppose it.

"Run!" In the next moment, the white-robed youth gritted his teeth, preparing to flee hastily.

"Heh, too late!" The giant demon wolf grinned.

……

Lu Yuan knelt on both knees, prostrate on the ground, his body trembling.

"It's over!" Lu Yuan felt utter despair.

This giant demon wolf is too strong; he has no strength to resist, only awaiting death.

Buzz— however, at this critical moment, a thread of sword light sliced through the void, carrying an awe-inspiring pressure, piercing the giant demon wolf's neck and killing it instantly.

Thud! The giant demon wolf's corpse fell sideways, collapsing to the ground and dying instantly.

"Who goes there?" Seeing this, Lu Yuan's expression twitched, his face full of shock.

"Huh, there's actually a human corpse!" Suddenly, a somewhat surprised voice came.

Immediately after, a black-clothed figure darted into the depths of the canyon—it was Xiao Yang.

"You, you, how did you appear here?" Upon seeing Xiao Yang's appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"What's it to you who I am? I ask you, why are you hiding here spying on my bath?" Xiao Yang curled his lip, speaking indifferently.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I damn well don't know what you're talking about." Lu Yuan flushed with anger, flatly denying.

He had indeed peeked at Xiao Yang's bath, so he refused to admit it.

"Hmph, it seems you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." Xiao Yang's face darkened slightly, his eyes flashing cold light, making one's heart palpitate.

"Who exactly are you, and why are you targeting me?" Lu Yuan asked warily.

He faintly worried, fearing Xiao Yang might be hostile toward him.

"Heh, since you won't speak, then I won't waste words." Xiao Yang gave a sinister smile and stepped toward Lu Yuan.

"What do you want? Don't come over!" Lu Yuan panicked, fleeing wildly.

Xiao Yang shook his head and sneered contemptuously: "Do you think you can escape?"

Having said that, he planted his foot and directly gave chase.

In an instant, Xiao Yang appeared like a ghost behind Lu Yuan, reaching out with a large hand.

"Bastard, let go of me!" Lu Yuan's face changed drastically, he struggled with all his might.

But all his resistance was ignored; the large hand easily grabbed his shoulder.

Crack!

A bone-cracking sound rang out; Xiao Yang's arm exerted force, directly snapping Lu Yuan's arm.

"Ah!" Intense pain surged; Lu Yuan screamed repeatedly.

"This time I'll spare you, but if there's a next time, I will take your life." Xiao Yang said coldly.

While speaking, he threw Lu Yuan aside. "Phew—" After witnessing Xiao Yang's ruthlessness, Lu Yuan exhaled deeply and went limp on the ground.

He was very afraid; if not for his luck just now, he would have become food in the giant demon wolf's belly.

"Thank you for your mercy, senior." Lu Yuan took a deep breath and bowed his hands to Xiao Yang in thanks.

"Don't you know there are powerful demon beasts here? How dare you come train here—didn't your parents tell you life is precious, cultivation requires diligence, don't greedily seek adventure, or you'll die miserably?" Xiao Yang glared at Lu Yuan and rebuked.

"Thank you for the guidance, senior, I'll remember." Lu Yuan lowered his head and replied obediently.

"Hmm, since you know your mistake, I won't hold it against you." Xiao Yang waved his hand, then turned and left, leaving Lu Yuan a carefree silhouette.

Watching Xiao Yang depart, Lu Yuan silently sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.

"My father once said, the strongest beings in the world are none other than Yuan Dan Realm experts, who not only possess the power to move mountains and fill seas, but also have the means to destroy everything." Lu Yuan murmured, Xiao Yang's image appearing in his mind.

"This senior, despite his age, has reached the Second Layer Body Tempering Ninth Layer cultivation—surely not ordinary." After a moment, Lu Yuan composed himself and continued seeking opportunity.

"Huh, that spiritual medicine looks good." Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he excitedly rushed over.

This is a sheer cliff; the base is secluded, growing several spiritual medicines of various colors.

One of the green spiritual medicines is vein-shaped, resembling a blooming lotus, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"This is Seven-Colored Jade Flower Grass; though not a rare spiritual medicine, it contains immense medicinal power." Joy showed on Lu Yuan's brow.

He hesitated not, immediately plucking the Seven-Colored Jade Flower Grass and storing it away.

Just then, a sudden breaking-through-the-air sound rang out; a grey-clothed man came flying.

This grey-clothed man is about twenty, with a resolute face and fierce aura, making one dare not meet his gaze.

"It's him!" Upon seeing the grey-clothed man, Lu Yuan instantly showed apprehension, hastily putting away the Seven-Colored Jade Flower Grass.

"Lu Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to venture alone into the depths of the Lost Tracks Miasma Valley—have you forgotten your mother's instructions?" The grey-clothed man landed, glanced around, and said coldly.

"Who are you to interfere?" Hearing the grey-clothed man mention his mother, Lu Yuan's face flushed with resentment, he protested indignantly.

"Lu Minghao, get lost!" Lu Yuan waved his fists, glaring hatefully at the grey-clothed man, ready to fight.

"I came today under my master's orders to find you; if you dare defy again, don't blame me for being impolite." The grey-clothed man furrowed his brows, speaking coldly.

"Master?" Hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyebrows rose, then he showed a hint of realization: "So you were sent by Senior Brother Lin to find me!"

The young man of the Lin surname is named Lin Feiyu, a famous alchemist in Shengwu City, renowned throughout the Shengwu Dynasty, and a mainstay of the Lu Family.

Lu Yuan and Lin Feiyu are on very good terms; on the first of each month, Lu Yuan goes to visit Lin Feiyu.

"What are you still dazed for? Come back with me!" Lin Feiyu said, expressionless, urging him.

"Okay!" Lu Yuan hesitated, then agreed.

After all, Lu Yuan didn't dare to defy Lin Feiyu's command.

"You're really stupid!" Gazing at Lin Feiyu in the distance, Lu Yuan thought: "With Senior Brother Lin's ability, how could he fear a mere giant demon wolf?"

Obviously, Lin Feiyu had deliberately lured Lu Yuan here to kill him and take the treasure.

Lu Yuan could see Lin Feiyu's thoughts, but he didn't dare to expose them.

Three sword lights tore through the void, striking the necks of the three sixth-rank giant demon wolves.

In an instant, the three giant demon wolves fell dead, turning into vast pools of black blood.

"Is this a sixth-rank demon wolf?" Lu Yuan looked up, his heart throbbing violently.

Three sixth-rank demon wolves would be enough to crush him to a pulp. (End of chapter)
