Chapter 25: Beheading the Seven Wolves

  "Will that old wolf cast a spell?"

  Meng Xuan furrowed his brow. After one has achieved a certain level of cultivation, the methods used can be diverse and varied. Some utilize their cultivation to wield infinite power, studying martial arts, using their physical body to subdue enemies, this is "technique".

  Some people use spells and talismans to cast magic, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to suppress their opponents, this is "magic".

  The monsters are actually similar, and the seven wolf demons that fought with Meng Xuan in close combat are obviously taking the martial path, their physical strength is strong, their speed is astonishing, and the old wolf is clearly proficient in demonic magic, the previous black fog and now the stone hand, are all demonic magic, extremely strange.

  "Whoosh"

  Meng Xuan quickly jumped out just in time and barely dodged the grab.

  However, in order to avoid this grab, his back also exposed a flaw, and was approached by a wolf demon next to him, with sharp claws scratching his back fiercely.

  "Big brother..."

  Aoki stood up nervously.

  "Xuān ér..."

  Mr. Meng was also frightened and wanted to push through the crowd to help.

  "Don't come over..."

  Meng Xuan let out a loud roar and borrowed that one jump to leap out of the battle circle, facing the seven wolf demons head-on.

  "Hmm..."

  The old wolf let out a cold laugh.

  It was clear that Meng Xuan's cultivation was not bad, but to resist the attack of seven wolf demons alone would still be a bit difficult. After all, the wolf demons he had chosen were all the best in their tribe, and it could be said that all the excellent young wolf demons had come, plus an elder who was proficient in demon methods assisting on the side, even Leng Daoshi could fight against them, let alone Meng Xuan?

  "Kuroki-san is also quite the elite this time..."

  Meng Xuan muttered to himself, his voice somewhat cold and filled with anger.

  This time Hei Mu Shan really spent a lot of money, all the people who came were masters, among these seven Langyaos, at least four or five of them had strength that was not below Xiao Yu Fei's.

  If it weren't for his recent rapid progress in cultivation, reaching the peak of Seventh Heaven True Qi, he would have been killed long ago.

  "This little brat is doomed, after killing him, I'll take his corpse and cure it into salted dried meat to go with wine..."

  A lone wolf demon licked his lips and said solemnly, "It was he who had a finger cut off by Meng Xuan, and the hatred in his heart was the strongest."

  What he said was also true words, not threatening language.

  In their eyes, humans are just "two-legged sheep"!

  "It's settled quickly, the dark fog has dispersed, our aura has already been released, the masters of Siling City will definitely detect it. The Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder can help us stall the enemy, but they won't be able to hold on for too long..."

  The old wolf gave an order and began to chant a spell.

  "Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."

  Seven wolf demons moved at the same time and pounced on Meng Xuan.

  Just then, Meng Xuan suddenly inserted his long sword into the ground and quickly formed a seal with both hands.

  As the wolf demon flew up and pounced on him from mid-air, he had already completed a complex hand seal in the process. The vital energy around his body fluctuated instantly, and then condensed into the shape of a magic head behind him, its piercing eyes gazing at the seven wolf demons.

  "Hah!"

  Meng Xuan's tongue burst forth like a spring thunderclap, with one loud shout.

  "Not good!"

  The wolf tribe elder was shocked in his heart and didn't even have time to cast a spell, directly fleeing far away.

  He felt an inexplicable sense of danger!

  However, even if he escaped, the seven wolf demons under him were already unable to dodge. In mid-air, Meng Xuan's Da Yin seal had already taken shape, and the demon's gaze fell straight on them.

  A heavy sense of sorrow, along with the gaze of the demon king, surged into the hearts of the seven wolf demons, briefly shattering their spirits.

  In an instant, all seven wolf demons appeared momentarily dazed, and even their ferocious expressions turned dull.

  At this moment, Meng Xuan suddenly moved. He drew the long sword beside him with a swift motion, and his entire cultivation burst forth as he charged into the midst of the seven wolf demons like lightning.

  With a flash of his sword, he dodged through seven wolf demons in an instant.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..."

  A series of eerie sounds, like the wind blowing over a knife blade.

  The seven wolves' bodies all stiffened.

  After a while, blood suddenly spurted out of their necks, and then the wolf's head fell off, rolling to the ground with a loud thud.

  A moment of distraction in battle can be fatal, and even Meng Xuan was caught off guard by the old wolf's magic while dodging, leaving a deep wound on his back that cut to the bone. How much more so when they had completely lost their focus?

  One sword, seven kills!

  Meng Xuan achieved his first stunning feat in his immortal cultivation career.

  "My children..."

  Until the seven wolf demons' heads had all rolled to the ground, the old wolf jumped down from the roof ridge. He had just sensed danger in time and before Meng Xuan's seal was formed, he had leapt onto the roof ridge.

  The mighty power of Da Ai Yin did not affect him.

  The old wolf howled in anger, holding a bone staff and fiercely striking Meng Xuan's head, his voice full of hatred.

  Seven of the Hei Mu Shan's younger generation were beheaded by Meng Xuan with a single sword, including its descendants. How could it not feel heartbroken?

  Meng Xuan didn't have time to dodge and could only raise his long sword to block the staff on top of his head.

  "Slap"

  The long sword broke, the bone stick came crashing down, but it didn't hit Meng Xuan's body. Instead, Qingmu rushed over in an instant, her slender small hands grasping the bone stick and blocking the attack.

  It's lucky she acted in time, otherwise Meng Xuan would have avoided the blow to his head but would have been hit heavily on the shoulder.

  It looked like he killed seven demon wolves without much effort, but in fact his cultivation was almost depleted.

  Dai Ai Yin's divine technique was extraordinary, but it was extremely exhausting for his cultivation. He had once controlled seven wolf demons at the same time, and even if it was just for an instant, he had almost depleted all of his true energy.

  After all, these wolf demons are not weak in their cultivation and willpower, and it's not as simple as controlling Xiao Qing.

  "Ah!"

  Aoki's one hand blocked the bone staff, while the other small hand clenched into a fist and struck out at the old wolf.

  She didn't understand martial arts, but her cultivation was there, and the aura of a single punch with condensed true energy was extremely astonishing.

  The old wolf was startled and flew back ten feet, raising his bone staff.

  He was good at magic, not close combat. Otherwise, it would have been the right thing to do to take down Qingmu at this time. However, he could only pull back and cast a spell to deal with Qingmu. But magic also had its weaknesses. Unless one broke through the True Qi realm, casting spells required time. This old wolf needed almost three seconds to successfully cast his spell.

  "Humming..."

  The ground began to shake violently, and a faint, eerie howl seemed to echo around.

  Aoki nearly fell over, facing such an attack, she was also a little afraid, but stood firmly in front of Meng Xuan.

  To say the least, she and the old wolf were equally matched, because if she had rich combat experience, she would have rushed directly to the old wolf's side at this time, forcing the old wolf to interrupt its spellcasting. However, at this moment, she only knew how to block in front of Meng Xuan.

  Just as the magic was about to succeed in Sisi City, a clear whistle suddenly came from one side.

  "A monster has entered the city, I will surely behead it..." A voice came raging.

  Every word he spoke brought him a step closer, and by the time he finished speaking, he was less than a hundred paces away from Meng's residence.

  "Master Cold..."

  Meng Xuan burst out laughing, it had taken so long, but finally Cold Master was startled.

  That old wolf heard the voice and was also startled, Cold Master's reputation was too great, he was scared, and couldn't wait for the spell to finish, directly slamming his bone staff on the ground. Suddenly a black smoke burst out of the skull at the top of the staff, turning into a black cloud. He jumped up and flew into mid-air, fleeing towards the city outskirts.

  "Now that I've already reached within a hundred paces of you, are you still thinking of escaping?"

  Suddenly, a gray-robed figure appeared in front of the Meng Mansion gate. He was short and stout, but his aura was like that of a dragon - it was Leng Dashi.

  He snorted, suddenly reversing his palm and drawing his sword. In an instant, the sword energy surged violently, like a bolt of lightning striking from the ground to the sky. It flew over a hundred feet away, splitting that black cloud flying far away into two halves. A mournful cry came from the air.

  "Bang bang......"

  The black cloud dispersed, and two trunks fell down, no one knows whose courtyard they smashed into.

  Leng Daoshi didn't even glance at him, sheathed his sword and rushed straight into the Meng residence.

  Seeing the wolves' corpses all over the ground, he was shocked and then saw Meng Xuan sitting on the ground, so he rushed over. However, when he found out that Meng Xuan had only exhausted his true energy and wasn't seriously injured, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "Half an hour ago, a wolf demon attacked a village three miles away, I sensed it and went to slay the demon, but those wolves escaped quickly. I chased them for thirty miles, until I saw the flames rising high in Siling City, that's when I realized I had fallen into a 'borrowing a tiger's might' trap. Luckily you're fine!"

  "Could it be that the sword energy that just shot up into the sky is Cold Master?"

  Meng Xuan was about to speak when a sudden sound of horseshoes echoed and rushed directly into the Meng's house.

  But then he saw that the man was wearing iron armor, holding a silver spear, and both the horse and the man were covered in bloodstains, as if they had just been through a fierce battle. It turned out to be General Liu.
