This Blood Refining realm demon beast genuinely gave Lu Xuan a pleasant little surprise.
Creatures like demon beasts are rare finds, not something one can seek out at will.
At least, since Lu Xuan took up the post of Profound Envoy in Baidao Prefecture, he had only encountered one demon beast at the Blood Refining realm before.
That was the carp demon beast from Taiping Town.
Of course, the two great fox demons from Fenglin County certainly didn’t count.
Because those two great fox demons had fled from Jingtai Prefecture to Baidao Prefecture.
It seemed he would have to visit Jingtai Prefecture more often in the future.
For Lu Xuan, demon beasts were excellent sources for obtaining large amounts of system points.
Unconsciously, Lu Xuan’s horizons had broadened significantly, no longer confined to just Baidao Prefecture.
Instead, he set his sights on the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Tap, tap, tap!
The next moment, a chaotic, rapid patter of running feet broke the silence of the night sky.
The mutated wolf pack ahead of Lu Xuan charged towards him like madmen.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan remained seated steadily on his Divine Wind Steed, his heart completely calm.
Just as Lu Xuan stirred the Gang Yuan within his body, a series of exclamations suddenly arose from behind him.
“Sister Qingyi, there’s someone ahead!”
“Don’t mind him. Taking care of our main task comes first.”
“Those wolf packs ahead are the target of this mission!”
“You two deal with the wolf packs. I’ll go slay the Wolf King!”
The newcomers were none other than Mo Qingyi and her companions.
Because they had never stopped during the day when Lu Xuan was resting, galloping all along the main road, they happened to catch up to the scene of the mutated wolf pack attacking Lu Xuan.
Mo Qingyi herself leaped from her horse. A powerful surge of blood energy shot straight into the night sky.
Blood Refining realm, Major Achievement!
The charging mutated wolf pack’s formation was instantly disrupted by Mo Qingyi’s terrifying blood energy.
Every mutated wolf trembled as if encountering a fearsome natural predator, not daring to move a muscle.
Roar!
From the very back of the wolf pack, an angry roar echoed, accompanied by a massive, ferocious aura.
The wolf pack, previously suppressed by Mo Qingyi’s blood energy, instantly turned bloodthirsty and frenzied again.
One after another, the mutated wolves pounced towards Mo Qingyi’s advancing figure.
As if completely disregarding life and death, they opened their maws filled with sharp fangs, aiming to tear Mo Qingyi to shreds.
“Hmph!”
Seeing this, Mo Qingyi let out a cold snort. A sharp, gleaming sword light flashed under the moonlight.
The wolves leaping towards her were abruptly cut in half at the waist.
On the ground, the severed halves of the wolf bodies continued to twitch and struggle.
Without another glance at the wolves—since her companions were handling them—Mo Qingyi didn’t pause her steps at all, charging straight towards the Wolf King at the front.
That was the target of her mission: the Blood Refining realm Wolf King!
Under the faint moonlight, ahead of Mo Qingyi stood a massive figure three meters tall.
Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur that reflected a strange luster.
The Wolf King’s towering back resembled a small mountain peak, radiating explosive power.
The Wolf King’s huge eyes gleamed with a faint, dark light, fixed intently on Mo Qingyi’s body.
The flesh and blood of a Blood Refining realm demon beast were indeed great nourishment for human martial artists.
But conversely, the flesh and blood of a human Blood Refining realm martial artist were also an immense temptation in the eyes of a demon beast.
The Wolf King’s front claws suddenly tore through the solid ground, leaving a dozen deep gouges.
Then, its massive body shot forward like a cannonball. Each heavy stomp of its thick limbs caused the ground to tremble.
In an instant, the Wolf King was before Mo Qingyi, its front claws swiftly swiping down towards her face.
Facing the attack, Mo Qingyi’s body swayed like a light feather, sidestepping to evade.
Simultaneously, she concentrated all her blood energy into the palm of her right hand, channeling it into her sharp sword.
The incredibly sharp blade seemed to be placed in a furnace, emitting waves of scorching white steam as a burning aura spread through the air.
A cold glint flashed in Mo Qingyi’s beautiful eyes. Without hesitation, she swung her sword, thrusting it towards the Wolf King’s ferocious head.
Rip!
The Wolf King’s right eye was instantly pierced. The sword, carrying residual force, continued its trajectory, slicing across the area above the eye socket.
ROAR!
The Wolf King roared in agonizing pain, the sound deafening.
Mixed within this cry of pain was a terrifying, sinister aura.
Even the blood energy surrounding Mo Qingyi was suddenly assaulted by this malicious force.
The Wolf King’s Yin-cold, sinister aura clashed with Mo Qingyi’s scorching blood energy.
Waves of visible, steaming white mist materialized in the air.
As Mo Qingyi’s sword forcefully cut through the Wolf King’s hide and flesh,
it was actually met with such resistance from the bones within that spider-web-like fine cracks appeared on the blade from the violent shock.
“This demonic aura!”
“What formidable physical strength!”
The deep wound on the Wolf King’s head, reaching the bone, was actually devouring the blood energy Mo Qingyi had left behind.
Just as Mo Qingyi’s blood energy was being eradicated by the Wolf King’s demonic aura,
the flesh around the wound began to squirm at an extreme speed.
Amidst the churning flesh, under Mo Qingyi’s astonished gaze, it began to fuse together inch by inch.
The Wolf King’s remaining giant eye gleamed with a mysterious, dark light, appearing quite bizarre in the night.
ROAR!
With another furious roar from the Wolf King, its front claws became entwined with strands of dark, ink-like energy streams.
This time, the Wolf King’s speed doubled compared to before. It shot straight towards Mo Qingyi, claws outstretched as if to shred her to pieces.
Seeing this, Mo Qingyi discarded her now-useless sword. She clenched her fingers tightly into a fist, gathering all her blood energy towards it.
Then, with her bare flesh, she chose to meet the Wolf King’s front claw head-on.
“Huh?”
“This fist technique… isn’t this Old Mo’s technique?”
“How does this woman know it?”
“This woman is from the Xuanniao Guard. Could she have some connection to Old Mo?”
Lu Xuan had been sitting on his horse all along, quietly observing Mo Qingyi and the others.
He certainly wouldn’t refuse someone else doing the work for him.
He planned to finish off the demon beasts when they were on their last breath to gain the points.
However, seeing Mo Qingyi’s fist technique did take him by surprise.
Wasn’t this the very fist technique Mo Ronghua had used when they sparred that day in Taiping Town?
The Shocking Heaven Fist!
Sure enough, the Wolf King’s massive body was sent flying into the distance by Mo Qingyi’s twin fists.
