Chapter 12: Whoa, where did you buy your cheat item, senior brother?

  Under Hu Ying's astonished gaze, a certain red and white figure holding a soft sword walked towards the cow-headed ferocious beast in front of her with big strides.

  "Haha, it's another Moon Viewing series! You've grown so big, are you the father of the Moon Fox?"

  Dad, you're so silly! How can a Kappa produce a Fox? Its mother must be really something else! You saw the two characters "Wang Yue" and thought it was related to Wang Yue Huo, that they were from the same clan! What did you even read in that Nine Provinces' Precious Beasts Record you borrowed from Wen Yin?! Although both are born in Wang Yue Valley, the difference between Wang Yue Hou and Wang Yue Hu is as big as the gap between your brain and a normal human's! That's a huge difference!

  Huò Yǐng's heart didn't know how many times it had exploded in anger, now she truly understood the headache that was her senior brother Yuè Yún when facing this true disciple, it was simply splitting with frustration.

  As expected, those on Mount Wúxiāng are natural-born arch-enemies of the Tiān Yǐn Temple. Master was absolutely right.

  But in any case, he absolutely cannot let him face the Moon Howl alone, that's simply sending him to his death! Huò Yǐng manipulated the Flowing Clouds Silk, trying to entangle one of the Moon Howl's legs like a ghost monkey, but the giant beast felt something foreign on its body and merely shook its body, causing the Flowing Clouds Silk to be unable to entwine it.

  Huo Ying let out a quiet sigh - the gap in their levels was indeed too great, and her specialty, the Wind Xiang technique, was completely countered by her opponent. For now, she had no choice but to use the Five Elements Sword, relying on the power of the five elements within the artifact to engage in a fierce battle with her opponent.

  However, at the same time, Wang Lu didn't give Huo Ying any time to pay respects with his sword. He took two steps forward and was already within five paces of Wang Yue's body. The purple willow soft sword drew an arc from bottom to top, which was the starting move of the Ruyun Sword Technique.

  Wang Yue let out a low growl, lowering its head to look at the approaching Hong Bai. Its beastly instincts told it that the small creature in front of it posed no threat whatsoever, so it didn't put too much attention into it, merely waving its front paws casually as if preparing to brush it aside.

  However, Wang Lu was waiting for the other party to make the first move. Almost at the same time as Mutsuki's roar, Wang Lu tapped his foot and his body moved like the wind, easily dodging the claw strike and charging into the opponent's chest!

  The chest and abdomen are the most vulnerable areas, and with a loud roar, Wang Lu's massive body charged forward, trying to knock his opponent away. However, Wang Lu dodged again like a fish, incredibly adjusting his center of gravity, and circled around to the side. The tip of Zi Wei's soft sword directly threatened the vital point on his flank!

  Although the Moon Howl was not known for its agility, it had never been so desperate before, being continuously forced into a corner. This giant beast felt an intense threat and suddenly its pupils turned red, as if it was about to unleash its true power.

  "King Lu, quickly retreat!"

  In the rear, Huo Ying helplessly shouted loudly. The incantation of her Wu Xing sword was not yet complete, and she also had to protect other fellow disciples, really unable to take care of Wang Lu.

  "Hah, don't be alarmed, little sister, this foolish thing can't harm me."

  The next moment, that huge ox head rose high up, and a roar of unutterable voice came rolling!

  "Hmm..." Huo Ying's expression changed, and the Wu Xing Jin Sword in her hand was immediately thrown aside, replaced by the Wu Xing Mu Sword. A green light burst out, covering herself and the people behind her.

  Even so, several of his fellow disciples were still shaken by the rolling sound waves, their faces pale and trembling, while Huo Ying's wooden sword light was also shaking.

  "Wooooo!"

  The roar of the giant beast was endless and increasingly prolonged. This is why the Moon Howl can become the overlord of the Moon Valley, relying on this boundless roar!

  This trembling sound that shakes the blood and even shocks the three souls and six spirits, directly acts on the human body, not being blocked by any spell. Once it is driven to the extreme, it can even shatter gold and split stones. Only the giant beast in the Ice Wind Valley at the beginning could withstand it. The young cultivators, although their magical powers were not bad, and their physical bodies had been tempered through the tempering period, ultimately couldn't compare with the refined monsters and demonic beasts. They were suddenly shaken, their hearts racing and their blood churning.

  Wang Yue's ultimate skill was not a demonic technique, but an innate ability, so all the methods in Huo Ying's hand to restrain demonic techniques were useless, and he could only rely on the wooden spirit sword to barely set up an absolute wind array, barely offsetting some of its power, but the technique did not match the symptom, and the effect was really limited.

  Fortunately, the younger generation of disciples were quite impressive. Yue Xinyao used the Ning Shen technique, Zhu Qin applied the Huo Xue technique to everyone, and even Wen Bao surprisingly released a solid rock, although it was not entirely appropriate for the situation, but it was better than nothing.

  A few people struggled to hold on, gradually withdrawing step by step, the situation was still not optimistic, as for Wang Lu himself who faced the roar... Huo Ying almost didn't dare to think about it.

  At such a close distance, without any obstruction, just a mere second-rate cultivator... even if I were to be torn apart and crushed into dust, it wouldn't be enough to make up for it. What's regrettable is that in the end, I wasn't able to protect everyone, as one of the leaders, an endless tide of remorse surged forth, accompanied by wave after wave of sound waves, pressing down on Huo Ying's head until he couldn't lift it, his knees gradually kneeling onto the ground.

  But just at this time...

  "My god, it's still half a year until Lixia (Beginning of Summer)! What the f**k are you talking about?!"

  Bang!

  The next moment, the roar stopped abruptly. Huo Ying raised her head and saw Wang Yue covering her nose and wailing towards the sky, a stream of blood gushing out from her nostrils!

  Wang Lu withdrew his Golden Right Leg, and with an unpleasant expression, he raised the Purple Bamboo Soft Sword in his hand: "This foolish thing, not very good at fighting, yet has expert-level numbers, deserves a beating?"

  Wang Yue let out a roar, although he couldn't understand human language, but also knew what the other was doing, his mouth opened wide, and an even more intense growl brewed in his throat.

  "Aaaaah!"

  "Seriously, isn't it over yet!?"

  When Wang Lu let out a loud roar, his body was beyond control. He immediately followed up with another kick to the nose, both precise and ruthless. The pent-up passion in Wang Lu's chest instantly turned into a whimper.

  At this moment, Wang Yue was truly kneeling down... This guy is actually immune to the roar! It's completely unscientific! In the past, in this Wangyue Valley, I have never seen anyone dare to face my roar head-on, whether it's the howling ghost monkeys or the occasional visiting cultivators... Unless they are those powerful cultivators who can see that their spiritual energy is extremely dense and unmatched, otherwise, as soon as the roar starts, it has always been invincible.

  Not to mention Wang Yue, even Hou Ying, who was watching from behind, felt like his jaw had dislocated! At that distance, facing Wang Yue's roar head-on, even if it were Yunnan Shixiong, whose body was strengthened by the Golden Stone Spirit, would be severely injured. How could Wang Lu, who only had a Second-Rank Body Tempering, emerge unscathed?!

  Is this the difference between an inner disciple and a true disciple? Master, I also want to be a true disciple!

  Under Huo Ying's incredulous gaze, Wang Lu once again unleashed the Soft Cloud Sword Art and the Howling Moon Killer in unison. The giant beast with a cow head brandished its claws, but was completely unable to withstand the combination of the Silken Steps and the Soft Cloud Sword. It stumbled around dizzily as Wang Lu dodged and weaved, occasionally landing a claw that would have been devastating, but the opponent managed to dissipate most of the force, taking the blow without suffering any injury.

  And every time it wants to raise its head and roar, it is often caught by Wang Lu and kicked at the door...

  After struggling for several rounds, Wang Yue finally gave up and turned around to run away with his tail between his legs!

  "Who would have thought that Wang Lu wouldn't let it go: 'What's going on? You dare to offend me and still want to run away? Don't even think about it!'"

  He stretched out his hand and grabbed the hind leg of the raging beast, with a force that was not great but won by its timely cleverness, causing the giant beast to lose its balance and fall with a thud.

  Wang Lu immediately jumped forward, Zi Wei's soft sword was erected directly at... Wang Yue's lower body before it could harm him. The giant beast suddenly became motionless, like a sculpture.

  "Hiss, hiss, run, keep running! You'll feel better after you've run." Wang Lu chuckled and patted the knots on Wang Yue's back with his hand, then put away the Zi Wei soft sword.

  But Wang Yue let out a loud roar and didn't dare to move again, lying prostrate on the ground, turning his body over to stare at Wang Lu with a pair of cow eyes, waiting for his verdict.

  At this time, not far away, Yue Yun's golden wooden double sword-supported cage finally could not bear the weight and collapsed.

  Two stone apes roared and tore open the cage, bursting out of the ground. Yuke Yun was already half-kneeling on the ground in the center of the cage, his Taoist robe stained with blood.

  Huo Ying was shocked: "Big Brother Shifu, what's wrong with you?!"

  Yue Yun struggled to open his eyes, shocked and furious: "Why haven't you left yet!?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the figure of a certain cow-headed monster, and suddenly another mouthful of blood spurted out.

  Wang Lu saw him and raised his hand to slap Wang Yue's face: "Damn it, you stupid thing, how can you be so ugly that you scared my junior brother to vomit blood!"

  Wang Yue glared at Lao Lao, then carefully looked at Wang Lu with a pair of cow eyes - his palm didn't hurt that much anyway, as long as he didn't aim the soft sword at his lower body.

  Wang Lu pointed ahead with his hand: "You go and bring me those two stupid apes inside."

  Wang Yue's roar, although not understanding human language, also guessed Wang Lu's intention. At this time, he was depressed in his heart and killed the two stupid monkeys to vent his anger! He immediately pounded the ground with both arms and let out a loud roar before launching an attack.

  "Come on, you remember eating but forget being hit? Call me Ah Mao!"

  Wang Yue covered her nose and quietly ran over, entangling herself with Shi Mu Yuan.

  Although the strongest killer move is not dared to be used recklessly, relying solely on Wang Yue's robust and sturdy physique is already enough to rival Shi Mu Yuan, while the giant ape also secretly fears Wang Yue, unable to fully utilize its fists and feet, with two against one yet unable to gain the upper hand.

  At this time, Huo Ying and others would not let go of the opportunity. A wave of magic flying swords were released, and in coordination with Wang Yue's roar, the two apes were beaten until their faces were blue and swollen, begging for mercy.

  Before long, a Wengyuehou appeared before everyone, two Shimumen knelt on the ground in a row to listen for instructions. Huo Ying supported the injured Yue Yun, and he felt as if he had fallen into a dream. The figure of a certain red and white back, at this moment, seemed exceptionally tall and majestic.

  Zhen Chuan is indeed Zhen Chuan, although even Wang Yue Hu was hard to beat, but when facing Wang Yue Hou he can create miracles, it's just that now he himself can't understand why the invincible sonic attack had no effect on him? Is it because his usually impoverished Fifth Uncle left him some treasure?

  "Cough... No, because his foundation is more solid than any of us."

  Yue Yun coughed up blood while explaining to Huo Ying and the others, "The sonic attack of the Moon Howl directly affects the human body, making it difficult for spells to mitigate. As cultivators who have not yet built our foundation, our physical bodies are limited in their ability to withstand attacks compared to innate martial artists. However, if we were to face a great master of martial arts who has cultivated their skills to the point of blood and bone, they would be able to easily resist the Moon Howl's roar... This is why this spirit is difficult for cultivators to defeat, but easier for great masters of martial arts to handle. Wang Lu Shixiong's abilities are not unfathomable, it's just that his physical strength has already surpassed us by far... Alas, no wonder Master said there was no need to bother taking care of him, it turns out he had already seen through it, and True Transmission Shixiong didn't need anyone else to look after him..."

  Several young black and white listeners looked puzzled, unclear. But just a moment later, Huo Ying raised a question: "But his speed and strength are indeed only at the level of Body Tempering Second Grade, could it be that he has been hiding his true power?"

  "No, I think this is probably related to his cultivation method. It's said that the Fifth Master Uncle excels at defense, so... even if the other attributes are only second-rate, his defensive capabilities and vitality have already far surpassed others."

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Yue Yun let out a bitter smile: 'Although it sounds a bit sour to say this, but if the opponent wasn't Wang Yue or Shi Mu Yuan, those hard-headed and stubborn spirits, but rather something like Gui Hou, I'm afraid Wang Lu Shixiong would be completely unable to cope. His strength isn't that he's fundamentally different from others, it's just that he met the most suitable opponent. Everyone doesn't need to lose heart because of this; his performance on this journey has already exceeded my expectations.'"

  So several blue and white as well as black and white people suddenly regained some confidence - it's not that we are too incompetent, but rather a certain red and white is too abnormal!

  "But now it's like this, the training can't go on... I'm really sorry to have dragged everyone down because of me, cough!"

  Yue Yun spoke while spitting out another mouthful of blood. Although his junior sister had just fed him a medicinal pill, it was impossible to see immediate results. Without their key leader, the group could only withdraw from their training exercise.

  Several junior brothers and sisters hurriedly comforted: "Brother, what are you talking about? If it wasn't for you desperately blocking the two giant apes, we would have been done for."

  "We should still thank Wang Lu Shixiong, if he hadn't stopped Wang Yue's howl, none of us would have been able to escape."

  Wang Lu waved his hand: "Thank you, but that's not necessary. The problem now is that you're injured so badly, Younger Brother Yue Yun, how are we going to get back?"

  Yue Yun hesitated for a moment: "In theory, once a serious accident occurs, we can ask the sect for help, but..."

  However, the senior masters of the sect cannot arrive that quickly, so they cannot be rescued in time; secondly, once the distress talisman is sent out, everyone's accumulated points from this trial will be greatly discounted, and the leader may even have to deduct points.

  Of course, now is not the time to care about scores. Yue Yun took out the aid-seeking talisman and was about to drive it with his magical powers.

  "Wait a minute." Wang Lu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Yue Yun, can this talisman specify the person being asked for help?"

  Yue Yun nodded: "Mm, currently it's Master, what's wrong?"

  "Oh, I think it's unnecessary to disturb Second Master. The seniors of the sect all have their own matters to attend to, so why not find someone idle instead."

  "Idle person?"

  "Uh, for example, my **** master."

  "Ah!?" Yue Yun jumped in fright, "Fifth Master!? How can that be!?"

  Wang Lu smiled wryly: "It's not that unreliable, after all, it's a Golden Elixir. And recently I've been idle and bored, so let her do something serious for the sect and make some contributions."

  Yue Yun and Huo Ying looked at each other, both unable to make up their minds. The sect didn't have any clear rules about this kind of thing, and what Wang Lu said made sense, but intuitively, it still felt inappropriate.

  In the end, Yue Yun gritted his teeth: "This time, I owe it to Master Wang Lu that my life was saved. Since Master has spoken, what else can I say?"

  He stretched out his hand and changed a few words on the spiritual symbol, then infused it with magical power to stimulate it. Suddenly, a golden light shot up into the sky and flew away into the distance.
