Lu Yuan, wielding the Thousand-Patterned Blade, once again slashed at the Icefield Wolf King's neck.
However, the Icefield Wolf King is still a race king of the Heavenly Evolution level. Although he was injured by Yang Lin and the Stone Brown Monkey, he is still not to be underestimated.
All that could be heard was the crisp sound of ice crystals shattering.
Lu Yuan immediately felt as if he had struck something hard, and his arm went numb from the impact.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the Ice Crystal Wolf King had formed a thick layer of ice crystals on its neck.
His slash only shattered the layer of ice crystals covering the surface.
The Ice Wolf King was enraged by the waves of pain emanating from its wounds and the repeated provocations.
It suddenly opened its mouth wide, its eyes bloodshot, and pounced on Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan reacted quickly, rolling to the side to easily dodge the Ice Wolf King's attack.
Although he couldn't break through the Ice Wolf King's defenses, the Ice Wolf King alone would also have a hard time hurting him.
"Xiao Lu! Are you alright?"
Yang Lin stood not far away, looking at Lu Yuan with a worried expression.
"It doesn't matter!"
Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his face, shook his head, and then glanced at Du Pengyi and the others behind him who were trying to hold back the Icefield Wolf Pack. His expression hardened slightly.
The number of Icefield Wolves was simply too great. After fighting for so long, Du Pengyi and the others had almost exhausted their spiritual energy and were beginning to show signs of strain.
If they cannot defeat the Ice Wolf King soon, their situation will become extremely dangerous.
We need to think of a solution as soon as possible.
Lu Yuan quickly thought about it in his mind, then turned to look at Yang Lin.
"Brother Yang!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's shout, Yang Lin immediately stepped back from the Icefield Wolf King and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Later, I'll trouble you and the Stone Brown Monkey to hold off the Ice Wolf King, and it would be best if you could make it reveal an opening."
As Lu Yuan spoke, another Tang sword that Yang Lin had never seen before appeared in his hand.
Yang Lin gave Lu Yuan a deep look, then nodded.
"No problem, leave it to me!"
After saying that.
He led the stone brown monkeys and charged immediately toward the Icefield Wolf King.
As a fifth-level Heavenly Evolution Beast Tamer, Yang Lin's strength was not just boasting. The skills he honed in various dangerous missions were enough to allow him to fight the Icefield Wolf King to a standstill.
With the Stone Brown Monkey attacking from the side, the Icefield Wolf King was unable to defend itself for a while.
But that's not enough.
They must kill the Ice Wolf King as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be reversed instantly once the wolf pack breaks through.
Looking at Yang Lin, who was fighting the Icefield Wolf King, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
During this period, he never stopped cultivating, and his beast taming level improved rapidly, reaching the fifth level of Earth Spirit in just a few months.
Such a rapid cultivation speed would absolutely crush everyone else.
He was once proud of this, even somewhat arrogant.
But only today, facing the beast tide on the battlefield, did he realize that his current strength was completely insignificant and still pitifully weak.
Without the help of system items, he was nothing at all, unable to even kill the Icefield Wolf King, a Heavenly Evolution level being.
Fortunately, though.
He had already realized his shortcomings, and it wasn't too late.
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at the Icefield Wolf King in front of him.
He then took a deep breath.
Kneel and bow.
A palpable killing intent emanated from behind, causing Yang Lin to shudder. He turned around and saw Lu Yuan preparing to draw his sword, and immediately understood.
"Stone Brown Monkey!"
He shouted at the Stone Brown Monkey, unleashed a skill at the Icefield Wolf King, and then quickly retreated.
Awooo—!
The Icefield Wolf King was slapped by the Stone Brown Monkey and turned its head away. It roared in pain and turned back to launch a counterattack.
Then it saw the human who had attacked it earlier charging at it again with a knife.
The Icefield Wolf King felt its dignity had been challenged by the insignificant humans who dared to challenge it time and time again, and roared as it unleashed its power.
The cold wind howled, and snow flew everywhere.
A biting blizzard swept around them, and everyone shivered involuntarily.
Ice crystals and snowflakes condensed into a giant white scythe, which rushed towards Lu Yuan with terrifying force!
Lu Yuan was oblivious, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of the Icefield Wolf King with his knife in hand.
A cold glint flashed.
The white scythe shattered with a crash.
With a pitiful howl, a deep, bone-revealing wound suddenly appeared on the neck of the Icefield Wolf King!
Sword Drawing Technique!
With his back to the Icefield Wolf King, Lu Yuan raised his hand to sheathe his sword.
at the same time.
A loud crashing sound came from behind.
The Ice Wolf King lay on the ground, convulsing, with bright red blood gushing from the wound on its neck. Soon after, it was completely lifeless.
With the king of the dire wolves killed, the remaining dire wolves panicked and scattered like birds and beasts.
Yang Lin stepped forward and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder.
"Good lad! I didn't expect you to have this skill!"
Lu Yuan put the Blade of Destiny back into his Beast Taming Space, slowly stood up, and chuckled, "Just a fluke."
Yang Lin met Lu Yuan's eyes and was slightly taken aback.
He had a feeling that something about Lu Yuan had changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Let's go, Brother Yang, let's help Lao Du and the others clean up the battlefield!"
Before Yang Lin could think it through, Lu Yuan had already turned around to help Du Pengyi and the others clean up the surrounding Icefield Wolf King.
Upon seeing this.
Yang Lin didn't hesitate any longer and immediately followed.
Without their wolf king, the Icefield Wolf Pack was no threat at all, and they were quickly wiped out by Lu Yuan and his men's fierce attack.
At the same time.
The reinforcements sent by the Divine Martial Pavilion finally arrived and quickly joined the battle.
Yang Lin and others joined the battle, while Lu Yuan returned to the defensive front and stood beside Meng Jiaqi.
"Your beast-taming spiritual power seems to be a bit depleted. This is a healing elixir that can quickly replenish her spiritual power. I wouldn't give it to her, but since you're back, I'll give it to you!"
Meng Jiaqi pointed to Xiao Yi sitting next to Lu Yuan and casually tossed her a spirit pill.
Lu Yuan reached out and took the elixir, feeling the spiritual power contained within it with great surprise.
This is probably a spirit pill of the Earth Spirit level!
Thank you.
After whispering his thanks, Lu Yuan fed the elixir to Xiao Yi.
“Eee…”
Xiao Yi's voice was a little weak, and Lu Yuan gently rubbed her head with a pained expression.
In order to reduce casualties among the Shenwu Pavilion personnel, he had just left Xiao Yi with Meng Jiaqi to assist in treatment, but he did not expect that Xiao Yi's spiritual power would be overdrawn.
"You've worked hard, Xiao Yi. Go back and get some rest."
After saying that.
He then put Xiao Yi back into the Beast Taming Space.
"You can rest here from now on. Reinforcements have arrived, and these monsters can't cause any trouble. Yandu has been defended!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's slightly tired expression, Meng Jiaqi spoke up.
"I'm fine. The sooner this is resolved, the sooner I can go back."
Lu Yuan shook his head, refusing Meng Jiaqi's offer, and charged back into the horde of monsters, carrying the Thousand-Patterned Blade.
As Meng Jiaqi said.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the tense situation was instantly reversed, and the monster horde began to retreat in defeat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan, wielding the Thousand-Patterned Blade, appeared and disappeared among the many demonic beasts like a phantom.
With each swing of Lu Yuan's arm, the Thousand-Patterned Blade emitted a faint red light.
His figure flashed to the front of a Xuanzhen-level demon beast, and before the beast could raise its hand, which was almost as big as a human, he chopped off its head with a single slash!
Lu Yuan tossed the Thousand-Patterned Blade in his hand.
During his battle with the Icefield Wolf King, he felt that his understanding of the realm had improved, and as a result, he became more adept at using his swordsmanship.
As he continued to weave through the horde of demonic beasts, the number of runes on his Thousand-Patterned Blade gradually increased, and in no time he had accumulated nearly fifty.
This was also because reinforcements had arrived, allowing him to kill low-level demonic beasts without any scruples.
Otherwise, given the previous dire situation, he would have had to spend time dealing with high-level demonic beasts, and certainly wouldn't have been able to acquire so many emblems in such a short time.
Thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, the beast tide attack was finally stopped, and most of the monsters were driven back into the forest.
"Oh oh oh!"
"We won!"
All the survivors began to cheer and raise their arms, some even hugging each other and weeping with joy.
The smoke clinging to the sky gradually dissipated, and the bright sunlight slowly shone down, illuminating everyone's smiling faces.
Feeling the warmth from the sunlight, Meng Jiaqi finally couldn't help but smile.
"We finally...held it!"
Once the monsters were driven back into the forest, the subsequent cleanup work became much simpler, requiring no reinforcements at all; the armed forces of the Yandu branch could handle it all.
only.
In order to resist this beast tide, the Yandu branch suffered heavy casualties, losing nearly 30% of its combat strength.
Looking at the road stained with blood, Lu Yuan felt a mix of emotions.
But then I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"Liu Chuang?"
Seeing the swaying figure not far away, Lu Yuan quickly ran forward and caught him.
"Mr. Lu..."
Liu Chuang murmured softly as blood continued to flow from his abdomen, making him look particularly frightening.
"Don't speak!"
Lu Yuan quickly raised his hand to cover the wound on his abdomen, and then summoned Xiao Yi from the Beast Taming Space.
"Little Yi, is your spiritual energy enough? Stop the bleeding!"
"Eee!"
After absorbing the healing elixir, Xiao Yi's spiritual power had recovered considerably.
After receiving Lu Yuan's instructions, he immediately used his skill.
Fortunately, Liu Chuang was only pierced in the abdomen by the monster. As long as the wound heals, there will be no problem, and it did not consume too much of Xiao Yi's spiritual power.
at the same time.
The Lingyaotang rescue team also arrived and began treating the wounded.
Those who survived in the Divine Martial Pavilion cleaned up the battlefield and carried away the bodies of their fallen comrades.
Lu Yuan handed the unconscious Liu Chuang over to the medical staff of Lingyaotang. Yang Lin then came over, with Meng Jiaqi following behind him.
"Xiao Lu, you've worked hard!"
Yang Lin smiled and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder, speaking sincerely.
Meng Jiaqi stood behind him, her face also filled with gratitude.
“It’s alright, after all, this is something I promised Mr. Mu beforehand.” Lu Yuan shook his head, squinting at the chaotic and horrific battlefield in front of him. “Besides… I can’t just stand by and watch these monsters rush into Yandu and put the people I care about in danger.”
Yang Lin and Meng Jiaqi looked at Lu Yuan intently, exchanged a glance, and smiled slightly.
"Let's go, Brother Mu asked me to take you back!"
"Mr. Mu?"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.
Mu Beiye had promised to answer his questions after the beast tide ended, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Before he could even bring it up, Mu Beiye had already made his own offer.
They followed Yang Lin into the off-road vehicle and drove towards the Shenwu Pavilion branch building.
...
Deep in the forest under the scorching sun.
A monster that looked like a bull but had a snake's tail slowly opened its only eye.
That eye was devoid of any emotion, coldly observing its surroundings.
After a moment, he slowly stood up and walked out of the Scorching Sun Forest.
Wherever it passed, all the flowers and plants withered instantly, and even the water in the ground was drained, as if a severe drought had just occurred.
The once tranquil and beautiful Scorching Sun Forest gradually became dilapidated and decaying.
Nevertheless.
The beast remained completely unfazed and walked straight outside.
And its direction of travel was precisely towards Yandu!
...
Since the beast tide had just ended, the streets were still deserted, and residents stayed in their homes and did not go out.
Yang Lin drove Lu Yuan back to the branch building without any obstacles.
At this time, most of the members of the Divine Martial Pavilion had already rushed to the battlefield, and the building was also quiet and deserted, as if only the two of them were left in the huge building.
"There should have been logistics personnel left in the building, but Brother Mu ordered everyone to rush to the battlefield, so there's no one else in the building now," Yang Lin explained, seeing Lu Yuan's puzzled expression.
Lu Yuan nodded, but felt a little strange.
Logically, in the event of an emergency, someone should remain in the building to handle various issues, but unexpectedly, Mu Beiye sent everyone out.
Yang Lin knew that Lu Yuan didn't understand, but he didn't say anything because he also didn't understand why Mu Beiye was doing this.
With their own thoughts, the two walked to the top floor. After pushing open the office door, they saw Mu Beiye standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out.
"They're here."
Hearing the sound, Mu Beiye turned around.
"I wonder what brings Mr. Mu here?" Lu Yuan asked first.
"Please sit down first."
Mu Beiye turned around, walked to the sofa, sat down, and slowly poured three cups of tea.
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and went straight over to sit down.
He was already quite tired after killing monsters for half a day.
Yang Lin saw Lu Yuan walk over and sit down, and although he was a little confused, he followed him.
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Yuan immediately felt his fatigue lessen, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Tender leaves of the spirit tree?"
"Oh?" Mu Beiye chuckled. "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be able to taste it. It seems he has drunk it before."
"I've had it."
Lu Yuan nodded indifferently, but inwardly he was complaining.
It's not just that they've drunk from it; Akabane is still picking more in her spatial dimension!
Yang Lin held the teacup carefully without saying a word.
It turns out he was the only country bumpkin among the three.
Waaaaah!
Forgive his ignorance, this is the first time he has ever tasted tea made from the tender leaves of the spirit tree!
"Mr. Lu, you can ask me any questions you have now."
