Chapter 1412 - 1410: Slaying the Blood Demon Wolf
Zhu Qilue's pupils trembled!
His eyeballs were almost about to pop out of their sockets!
What appeared before him was a hundred times more terrifying than the Chi Yun Army!
It was... a Blood Demon Wolf!
This was one of the most terrifying demonic creatures on the Five Elements Realm's wastelands. As its name suggests, it was as bloodthirsty as a demon. It looked like a wolf but had two extremely sharp fangs capable of easily tearing apart its prey and moved with incredible speed, rendering its figure invisible to ordinary people as it galloped across the ground like a phantom!
Its fur was extremely long, fluttering in the wind as it ran, like a flag. The reddish-brown fur also made it easier for it to hide on the continent, not easily detected by anyone.
If one became the target of a Blood Demon Wolf, unless their Cultivation Realm was extremely high, it was hard to survive.
Therefore.
Throughout the Five Elements Realm, those who have seen a Blood Demon Wolf with their own eyes are very few in number.
Generally speaking, Blood Demon Wolves do not attack such large groups and usually target lone or isolated travelers.
This creature, while a beast and unable to speak, was extremely intelligent and could sniff out an opponent's aura to judge whether their Cultivation Realm was within its capability to kill.
Only when certain that there is no risk does the Blood Demon Wolf make its move.
Such sudden attacks on an army of three thousand are extremely rare!
Zhu Qilue had never heard of such an occurrence.
That's why he was so shocked, and so terrified, after all, he was heavily injured, and didn't even have the strength to stand right now, only to become a feast for the Blood Demon Wolf's belly.
He stared blankly at the Blood Demon Wolf, and the Blood Demon Wolf stared back at him.
Four eyes met.
Silent and soundless.
The Blood Demon Wolf's sharp eyes gleamed with murderous intent, baring its long fangs, still dripping with fresh blood, evidently from the three thousand Chi Yun soldiers.
The ferocious and terrifying expression made Zhu Qilue's breath halt.
Silence.
Deathly silence!
A chilling silence!
It was as if time had stopped, and everything between heaven and earth had come to a halt.
Zhu Qilue could even clearly hear his own heartbeat.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Almost about to leap from his throat.
His face was ashen, never had he been so tense. He knew he would die, but he never expected not at the hands of the Chi Yun soldiers, but torn apart by a beast.
Zhu Qilue stared fixedly at those sharp fangs, falling into endless panic.
Gulp—
Woo—
In the silence, a low growl emerged from the Blood Demon Wolf's throat, like a call from Hell.
Damn it!
He couldn't die such an ignominious death!
If he truly died at the hands of a beast, his dignity would be utterly crushed!
With this thought, Zhu Qilue immediately felt he absolutely couldn't die, it was too humiliating.
He suddenly wanted to get up, even if he didn't have the strength he had to rise.
Fortunately, after resting for quite a while, he had managed to gather a bit of strength to support his body and sit up.
Seeing Zhu Qilue move, the Blood Demon Wolf suddenly lowered its body, assuming a pouncing stance, seemingly ready to attack.
"Get lost! Don't bother me! Get out of here!"
Zhu Qilue cursed loudly, struggling to wave his hand, trying to shoo away the Blood Demon Wolf.
But if the Blood Demon Wolf could be scared away so easily, so many wouldn't have perished beneath its bloody jaws.
The Blood Demon Wolf could not be scared off!
Zhu Qilue's actions would, instead, provoke the Blood Demon Wolf, making it think he was provoking it!
The low growl from the Blood Demon Wolf's throat gradually grew louder, staring coldly at Zhu Qilue.
The next second!
Without any warning!
While Zhu Qilue wasn't paying attention, it leaped down from the rise!
Its entire body stretched out in the air, fur fluttering elegantly in the wind, exuding a dashing grace, its muscles clearly defined, such agility attributed to long-term hunting, granting it a robust build enabling swift reactions.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the Blood Demon Wolf pounce, Zhu Qilue cursed, sensing impending danger.
He was just about to channel True Qi to shoot a flame at the Blood Demon Wolf.
But before he could raise his hand, his arm fell limp due to weakness.
He couldn't lift it!
He could only sit against the pile of corpses like a mountain, helplessly watching the Blood Demon Wolf darken the sky as it lunged at him.
Await death!
All he could do was wait for death; he had no other recourse!
The three thousand Chi Yun soldiers couldn't kill this Blood Demon Wolf; seeing its agile figure, it was likely unscathed.
Zhu Qilue's mouth curled into a bitter smile.
He suddenly remembered something his father, Zhu Sui, once said: if unfortunately encountering a Blood Demon Wolf in the wastelands, there was only one way to survive.
Run!
Keep running!
Run to the point of death!
Never look back!
The heart must not harbor even the slightest complacency; no thoughts beyond survival are allowed.
Hesitate, turn back, or harbor thoughts of confrontation.
That person would surely die!
It seemed no one had ever inflicted harm on a Blood Demon Wolf, not even a scratch on its fur.
This beast's power was even higher than some Lower Heavenly Venerates!
Utterly terrifying…
And in his current state, standing was a luxury, let alone running.
What else could he do?
Only wait for death.
He watched the reddish-brown fur flutter in the wind, coming ever closer, those sharp fangs filling his vision.
With a long sigh, he closed his eyes slowly.
However!
In that critical moment!
Awooo!
A pitiful howl, echoed through the clouds, shaking the heavens and earth!
It rang right in front of Zhu Qilue, causing ringing in his ears from the shock.
What happened?!
His heart was greatly astonished, he quickly opened his eyes, but a surge of blood-red greeted him instantly, turning his vision crimson red, as if dyeing the whole world in red.
Still before him was the ferociously brutal Blood Demon Wolf, crashing towards him.
But the Blood Demon Wolf's eyes had lost their luster, the chill in those jet-black eyes dimming away.
Hmm?
What... what happened?
Thud!
The Blood Demon Wolf fell upon Zhu Qilue, its long fangs grazing across his body, but the cut was not severe.
His already scarred body didn't mind one more slight wound.
Zhu Qilue's mouth hung open, wanting to shout in shock, but no sound came out.
Facing off with the lifeless eyes of the Blood Demon Wolf, mouth agape, petrified.
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
The Blood Demon Wolf didn't move at all, lying motionless in Zhu Qilue's arms, showing no intent to attack.
Only then did Zhu Qilue come back to himself, blinking blankly, glancing at the lower half of the Blood Demon Wolf.
He saw the Blood Demon Wolf had been directly cut in half!
The front half lay on him, the back half at his feet, its insides bursting out, scattered all around, mingled with the surrounding severed limbs, grotesquely bloody.
"I… Holy shit…"
Zhu Qilue cried out uncontrollably, his eyes unwilling to believe.
A Blood Demon Wolf, never before wounded, had been slain right before him by a cut-in-half.
He was probably the first to witness the death of a Blood Demon Wolf.
No!
Not the first!
The one who acted is the first!
Then… who could it be?!
Zhu Qilue suddenly sensed something off, a powerful and vigorous aura surged in front of him, pressing the air around him.
He lifted his head, eyes widening in terror.
