Chapter 124 The Strength of Daoist Luoyun
"If there are no surprises, there should be no ambush. We should move in quickly and make sure to annihilate them all."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed in respect.
After bowing, they rushed forward, while the wolf demon, who had been waiting for a long time, raised its head and howled when it saw the group rushing towards them.
"Ouch!"
The wolf pack charged in an instant, with thousands upon thousands of wolves surging forward like a tidal wave. This sight stirred Xia Yuhui's heart. Although he knew that the wolf pack was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, its momentum still shocked him.
"Hahaha!"
"Good timing, get out!"
Luo Yun Dao Ren, who was at the forefront, was not afraid at all. A beam of blood-red light shot out from his storage bag. He clenched his fists and swung them with all his might. A blood-red sword aura was immediately unleashed, and hundreds of demon wolves in front of him instantly turned into blood.
However, the wolf pack did not stop at all, and continued to charge forward fearlessly across the blood.
As the two sides drew near, the wolf pack howled in unison.
"Ouch!"
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the howling of wolves, but Xia Yuhui and the others were already on guard and used their magic to protect their ears, so the sound did not harm them in the slightest.
When their howling proved ineffective, the wolves charged forward recklessly, instantly engulfing the seven people.
Xia Yuhui quickly released a ball of lightning in all directions, electrocuting the demon wolf that pounced on him.
However, after one was electrocuted, the wolves behind it surged forth like a tidal wave.
The second-tier demon wolves didn't give them a chance to fight one-on-one, hiding among the pack, clearly intending to launch a sneak attack.
Xia Yuhui wielded the Crimson Thunder Sword, slashing in all directions. Each strike killed several demon wolves, but compared to the entire pack of demon wolves, a mere dozen or so were insignificant.
Xia Yuhui understood that such actions would hardly cripple the wolf pack, but he could not make a move because several second-tier demon wolves were lurking around.
Several teammates even coveted him, and the others did the same. None of them dared to go all out, clearly because the demon wolf's strategy was to exhaust their physical and magical strength.
But there was one exception: Daoist Luoyun.
By this time, he had already charged into the heart of the wolf pack, and in less than a dozen rounds of combat, he had killed more than a thousand wolves.
As for why Xia Yuhui and the others haven't made a move yet, it's because they're waiting for Daoist Luoyun. Once Daoist Luoyun kills a few thousand more wolves, the wolf pack's numbers will be greatly reduced, and then they'll have their chance to unleash their power.
However, the wolf pack did not give them such an opportunity. Soon, Jin Shengxin was ambushed by a second-tier demon wolf, and Jin Shengguang immediately went to his rescue.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui suddenly charged towards Luoyun Daoist, startling everyone who witnessed it.
After all, Luo Yun Dao Ren's direction was towards the center of the wolf pack, which would increase the danger several times over, but they ignored it and were even happy to do so.
Xia Yuhui's purpose was self-evident: to obtain those souls. He was too far away from Daoist Luoyun to absorb the vengeful spirits of those who had died tragically, so he needed to get closer.
However, just as he got a short distance away, a second-tier demon wolf, three or four times larger than an ordinary demon wolf, suddenly darted out from the pack and opened its mouth to bite Xia Yuhui's head.
Xia Yuhui threw a punch directly, "Bang!"
This punch was incredibly powerful, breaking two of the demon wolf's teeth, and the demon wolf was already trembling all over from the electric shock.
However, this demonic wolf seemed quite resilient. Despite being struck by Xia Yuhui's crimson lightning and such a powerful blow, it appeared to have only suffered minor injuries. After being knocked away by Xia Yuhui, it immediately darted into the wolf pack.
However, at this moment, a huge bolt of lightning in the dark clouds had already locked onto it. "Boom!" The lightning struck down, directly causing the wolf demon to emit black smoke.
Xia Yuhui quickly approached and grabbed its neck with both hands. Then, with a single reach, he pulled a demon core from the wolf's body.
The demon core of this wolf is very special. While other demon cores can only be used for alchemy, this one can be consumed directly and has the effect of strengthening the body.
Xia Yuhui then put the monster's corpse into his storage bag.
Just then, Xia Yuhui suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a pungent stench spread behind him. He hurriedly tried to jump out and perform a backflip.
However, it was too late. A wolf's claw mercilessly gripped his back, digging deep into Xia Yuhui's back.
Xia Yuhui quickly recalled the Crimson Thunder Sword, which was flying haphazardly outside. He had originally used the sword to clear out the charging demon wolves, but this gave the mid-Foundation Establishment demon wolf an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
This caused Xia Yuhui to suffer a great loss.
When the demon wolf saw that Xia Yuhui had obtained the magic sword, it immediately prepared to jump into the wolf pack.
But Xia Yuhui would not let it succeed so easily. It thought it could escape after hurting him? It was not that easy.
If he hadn't been a cultivator specializing in physical cultivation, that claw attack would probably have taken his life.
So at this moment, Xia Yuhui was a little annoyed. With a wave of his hand, Mingyue flew out of his hand and took out a mirror, which shone directly on the second-tier demon wolf.
The second-tier demon wolf bared its teeth as the mirror's light shone on it, but this only caused minor damage. Keep in mind, its fur alone was half a meter thick.
After the second-tier demon wolf disappeared into the pack, it lay down on the ground and slowly vanished from Xia Yuhui's sight.
Since there were demonic beasts all around, Xia Yuhui's attacks were not very effective at this time. After all, there were many demonic wolves, and he couldn't possibly investigate them one by one.
However, he naturally had a way to deal with it. Mingyue threw the mirror in her hand, and the mirror shone brightly in the air, changing its direction.
Xia Yuhui hurriedly threw the Crimson Thunder Sword in the direction the mirror was pointing.
Sure enough, after the Crimson Thunder Sword flew away, the demon wolf helplessly got up and slapped at the Crimson Thunder Sword with its claws.
"boom!"
The Crimson Thunder Sword was knocked away, and the demon wolf was not only paralyzed by the electric shock, but its claws were also injured.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui appeared before him, raising his sword to attack, with a tortoise shell above his head for defense.
In a short while, the human and the demon clashed in the wolf pack. At first, Xia Yuhui had the upper hand.
However, this monster not only has high defense and speed, but its pack of first-tier wolf cubs also comes out to harass Xia Yuhui from time to time. If Xia Yuhui does not use some methods, he will probably have difficulty taking it down in a short time.
However, the means to save one's life cannot be easily revealed to others, so Xia Yuhui did not intend to use them.
As for Mingyue, Xia Yuhui had already sent her to hold back the charging demon wolves.
Xia Yuhui's arduous battle was not without its rewards; on the contrary, he reaped considerable benefits. For instance, the demonic beast souls on this battlefield all gathered around Xia Yuhui and slowly disappeared...
The Falling Cloud Blood Sword truly lived up to its reputation, slaying over five thousand demonic wolves in just half an incense stick's time, including three or four second-tier demonic beasts.
For Xia Yuhui, a mid-grade second-tier demonic beast was quite troublesome, but for a great cultivator like Luoyun Daoren, it was no different from other second-tier demonic beasts, and could be dealt with in just a few sword strikes.
With the wolf pack reduced to such a small number, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators seized the opportunity and immediately used their respective methods to eliminate thousands of demonic beasts in a short time.
Xia Yuhui also exerted his power directly. Seeing that everyone's attention was not on him, he used the Soul Devouring Technique to stun the monster and then killed it as he wished.
Monsters' spiritual sense is far inferior to that of humans, and they have almost no defensive means. Therefore, Xia Yuhui's Soul Devouring Technique is extremely effective against them. If Xia Yuhui were to unleash it at full power, he could directly kill a second-stage early-stage monster. Of course, doing so would also greatly deplete Xia Yuhui's spiritual sense, which would be quite disadvantageous in his battles. Therefore, Xia Yuhui usually does not act in this way.
