Chapter 930 - 695: Deep into the Heartland
"Air-ground coordination..."
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Shen Xuan’s eyes.
"The demon beasts of the Southern Wilderness actually know the art of coordinated hunting."
The next moment, the wolf pack howled as they charged forward!
The raven flock swooped down, piercing the air with sharp cries!
The foul wind swept the ground, scattering sand and stones.
The Liu Family’s battle array stood silent as a mountain.
In an instant, blood flashed, and a fierce slaughter erupted with a roar!
Two hours later.
The offensive of the Silver Lightning Wolf pack and the Black-winged Cold Raven flock finally showed signs of fatigue, beginning to alternate their retreat under cover.
Shen Xuan had not made a move.
He protected Xiangcao by his side, quietly observing the entire battle situation.
This surprise coordinated attack by the demon beasts from both land and air was a rare opportunity for practical training for the Liu Family’s team.
The Liu Family’s high-level members reacted swiftly, striking with ruthless precision.
Clan leader Liu Minglin personally led several Foundation Establishment Stage fire cultivators, unleashing spells; waves of blazing Spirit Fire transformed into walls of fire, rain of fire, and fire arrows, sweeping toward the diving Black-winged Cold Raven flock.
Clan elders Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingli led the main force, firmly resisting the Silver Lightning Wolf pack’s wave after wave of assaults.
Sword light and blade shadows, spells thundered, and the battle was intensely fierce.
In the midst of the battle, the true Silver Lightning Wolf King suddenly launched an attack, darting from the shadows, piercing the chest of a Golden Body Realm cultivator wielding an iron rod with one strike, killing on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Liu Minglin’s eyes widened with rage, pushing back the Black-winged Cold Raven King, and taking direct aim at the Wolf King with sword control.
Yet after the Wolf King struck, it showed no desire to fight further, its movements elusive, merging into the surging wolf pack, disappearing without a trace.
Everything was as Shen Xuan had predicted.
The coordinated assault of the Silver Lightning Wolves and Black-winged Cold Ravens ultimately failed to topple the Liu Family.
In the fierce melee, the Liu Family paid the price of seven deaths and over twenty injuries.
But the team’s formation remained intact, the personnel disorder-free, fighting valiantly without retreat.
Especially Liu Yiyun, Liu Zhicheng, and Liu Zhijie; the more they fought, the braver they became.
They seized the opportunity as the wolf pack retreated, leading a portion of the elite clansmen to turn defense into offense, advancing step by step, pushing the Silver Lightning Wolf pack back.
In this battle, the body-refining magical treasures in the hands of these three shone brilliantly.
The strangling of the Spirit Flood Dragon Whip, the tearing of the Shadow Leopard Claw, and the cleaving of the Sky-Sundering Axe, proved more effective against the tough-skinned, resilient Silver Lightning Wolf Demons than the flying swords of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
...
"Still trying the same old trick?"
Shen Xuan’s gaze turned icy, uttering coldly.
Deep within the wolf pack, a sly, silvery-gray figure appeared again, poised to strike, its chilling gaze fixed on Liu Yiyun at the forefront.
She was caught up in the fight, already showing signs of breaking away from her formation, venturing deep alone.
Shen Xuan raised his hand and feigned a movement.
A streak of crimson light shot out from the storage pouch, landing in his palm, transforming into a treasure saber of ancient design, its body flowing with a lava-like luster.
It was precisely the Fiery Light Flame Saber, which he had meticulously refined.
The main material remained the Red Flamescale Iron, but he had infused it with several rare fire attribute spiritual objects, making its quality incomparable to its previous state.
A Tier Two Top Grade fire attribute magical treasure!
This was also the first time he had revealed his magical treasure before the Liu Family.
"Slash!"
A low shout, spiritual power surged.
The crimson saber in his palm hummed and vibrated, suddenly transforming into a violent red flame dragon, roaring with high temperature, directly flying into the surging wolf pack!
Wherever the red flame dragon passed, the air twisted, heat waves exploded into the sky.
Any Silver Lightning Wolf even slightly touched by the red flames turned instantly into a plume of scorched black ashes, drifting away.
The Silver Lightning Wolf King was aghast, its silver fur standing on end as its demon power surged, attempting once more to hide within the wolf pack and escape.
But there was no time!
The crimson flame dragon’s eyes turned sharply, a mountain-heavy and scorching divine power thundered down, locking the space around it.
The Wolf King’s body stiffened, unable to move.
The next instant.
Boom!
The crimson flame dragon roared, crashing headlong into the Wolf King’s robust body.
The blaze of gold and red flames, like maggots gnawing at bones, instantly engulfed it.
"Ow!"
Under countless horrified gazes, the Silver Lightning Wolf King let out a most pitiful and agonizing wail, crazily rolling and thrashing.
No matter how much demon power it summoned, the crimson flames did not extinguish, but instead burned more fiercely.
As if fueled by its flesh and demon qi.
When Shen Xuan powered the Fiery Light Flame Saber, he quietly infused a strand of "Scarlet Cloud Primal Fire."
This kind of celestial and earthly spirit fire has immense power, and how could a mere Tier Two demon beast withstand it!
Soon, the Wolf King’s rolling diminished, its cries subdued.
Finally, it collapsed to the ground, motionless.
The crimson flames on the demon body still burned fiercely.
Shen Xuan pointed with two fingers, guiding from afar.
The crimson flames raging on the Wolf King’s corpse rolled back like swallows returning to their nests, merging into the Fiery Light Flame Saber, disappearing from sight.
If it burned any longer, it would likely harm the demon core within its body.
