Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 86 Monster
Late that night, a figure knocked on the door of the Shen family.

When Shen Wenxing heard the noise and opened the courtyard gate, he saw that his father, who had been away from home for half a month, had finally returned!
Shen Yuan carried a huge cloth bag on his back, bulging and revealing swords, spears, and halberds. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in blood.
"Father!"

Shen Wenxing quickly took the cloth bag and helped Shen Yuan sit down in the courtyard.

"I'll get you a glass of water."

Seeing his father's tired face and chapped lips, Shen Wenxing felt a pang of heartache and spoke up.

"Don't rush, come with me for a bit."

After putting the items down, Shen Yuan pulled out a long sword and a spear from the bag, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Shen Wenxing was slightly taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Father, what happened?"

Shen Yuan shoved the spear into his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to get something."

When he came out of the room, he was holding a purple talisman in his hand.

Shen Wenxing was somewhat surprised to see this.

This talisman was brought back by my younger brother from Qiyun Valley. It is said that when activated with spiritual power, it can unleash the full power of a late-stage Nascent Soul expert!
Why did Father bring this thing along? Could it be that he has encountered some powerful enemy?

The father and son left home under cover of night and headed towards Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Both were Qi Refining stage cultivators, and their speed was extremely fast.

After traveling for about half an hour, a faint rustling sound came from the dense forest ahead.

Shen Yuan lowered his pace, gesturing for Shen Wenxing behind him to squat down.

"Father, what is that?"

Shen Yuan stared intently into the distance and said in a deep voice, "A monster has been chasing me all this way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the distant jungle!

Shen Wenxing took a closer look and immediately frowned!

"It's that beast!?"

Shen Yuan asked curiously, "You've seen it before?"

Shen Wenxing nodded and recounted the events of the Battle of He County, when he went to Wuya Mountain to deliver a message and encountered Li Heshan and Zhong Liqing on the way.

"At that time, the two immortals were chasing this beast."

"Perhaps it was because of my delay that this beast escaped."

"I heard from Immortal Li that this thing is called the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf, and it belongs to the category of demonic beasts."

"Father fought against him?"

Shen Yuan nodded.

After arriving at the Dragon Tamer's mansion, he searched the outer perimeter but didn't find much of value. He then ventured deeper inside and acquired some weapons, rare items, and medicinal herbs.

But as soon as he emerged from the ruins, he encountered the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf.

The monster seemed to have its eye on something on him and relentlessly pursued him, inevitably leading to a battle.

“This beast is very strong; even Father can’t do anything to it.”

"That iron rod was also destroyed by it."

As the two were talking, the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf had already found their hiding place with its keen sense of smell.

Its massive body lowered slightly, its eyes, like copper bells, fixed intently on the two people's location, and it let out a slightly threatening whimper.

"Let's try it first. If we can't beat them, we'll use this talisman."

"We must kill it here!"

Shen Yuan slowly stood up, no longer hiding his identity.

This demonic wolf has an extremely keen sense of smell. If we cannot kill it, it will find the Blackwater Pool.

My family would be in danger.

Shen Wenxing also stood up, holding the spear in his hand, and stood with him.

"Father, I'll distract it first, and you can attack from the side."

In terms of cultivation, although he was only at the first level of Qi Refining, he was somewhat inferior to Shen Yuan.

However, his years of martial arts training and battles in the army have given him far more experience than Shen Yuan.

With him drawing the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's attention from the front, and his father ready to launch a sneak attack from the side, their chances of winning should be greater.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and slowly drew the longsword from its sheath. This longsword came from the Dragon Tamer's residence and was of excellent quality.

As soon as the sword was drawn, a faint chill permeated the air!
Shen Wenxing shouted loudly, thrust his spear forward, and leaped towards the head of the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf!
With the support of his internal spiritual energy, his speed and explosive power were greatly enhanced.

The spearhead pierced the air with a series of hisses!

The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf narrowed its eyes, staring intently at the approaching spear, and suddenly leaped out!
While nimbly dodging the spear tip, it suddenly extended its terrifying claws and slapped towards Shen Wenxing's body!

What a great speed!

Shen Wenxing was secretly alarmed. He suddenly pulled the butt of the gun with his right hand, turned his body, and blocked the gun behind his back!

Clang!
The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's claws were blocked by the hard gun barrel, but the terrifying force slammed the gun barrel directly into Shen Wenxing's back!
Bang!
The immense force traveled through his back, causing a shock to his internal organs. He felt a slight sweetness in his throat and almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf wanted to launch another attack, but a sharp whooshing sound came from the side, directly attacking its waist and abdomen!

Although the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf is a demon beast, it still belongs to the wolf family.

Most wolves are creatures with "copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists," and Shen Yuan's sword was aimed straight at its waist!

The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf instinctively abandoned its plan to continue attacking Shen Wenxing and instead turned to bite Shen Yuan, who was holding a sword!
Its gaping maw opened wide, revealing sharp fangs that gleamed with a cold light!

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan frantically circulated his spiritual energy, and the longsword in his hand faintly emitted a cold sword light!

"Father, be careful!"

Just as the demon wolf's huge mouth was about to bite his father, Shen Wenxing rolled over like a lazy donkey and quickly thrust his spear toward the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's neck!

A hint of ferocity flashed in the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's eyes!
Its cultivation level was comparable to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but its strength had greatly decreased because it had been severely injured while being chased by Li Heshan and Zhong Liqing.

Now they've been forced into such a sorry state by two humans who've just entered the Qi Refining Realm!

Ouch!

Seeing that the longsword and spear were about to pierce its body, the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf let out a roar, and a faint aura of ferocity instantly emanated from its body!
Bang!
When the tip of Shen Wenxing's spear was about three inches away from the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's neck, it suddenly seemed to pierce an invisible wall of air!
It was blocked instantly!
Shen Yuan encountered the same situation.

However, the longsword in his hand seemed even sharper.

Although it was blocked, it only hesitated for a moment before tearing through the obstruction and piercing into the belly of the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf!

The longsword, gleaming with a cold light, was exhausted after penetrating only three inches into the body.

For the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf, this level of injury wouldn't normally be a big deal, but the sword in Shen Yuan's hand was quite peculiar.

With his spiritual power activated, the icy energy inherent in the sword instantly surged into the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's body!
In an instant, the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf felt half of its body being filled with an icy energy and lost consciousness!

The flow of demonic energy within his body was obstructed, and the protective shield of demonic energy on his body surface vanished instantly.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wenxing thrust his spear out like a dragon!

The spear tip, accompanied by a piercing shriek, instantly stabbed towards the Iron-Spine Wolf's neck!
puff!
The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's thick neck was pierced directly by the sharp spear!
"Ow!"

The wolf roared in pain and then, as if possessed, lunged at Shen Wenxing.

"careful!"

Shen Yuan shouted a reminder, and Shen Wenxing immediately released the spear that was stuck in the demon wolf's neck and jumped back to dodge!

The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf, having suffered repeated heavy blows, charged wildly, forcing the father and son to stay away.

"Father, this beast is very cunning, we mustn't let it escape!"

Shen Wenxing spoke in a deep voice.

He had witnessed the cunning of the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf firsthand.

Shen Yuan remained silent, gripping the longsword in his hand and sensing the nearly depleted spiritual energy within his body.

"It can't escape."

Looking at the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's obviously disproportionate body and the spear piercing its neck, Shen Yuan guessed that the beast was just struggling in its death throes.

Now all we need to do is wait patiently until it has exhausted its last bit of strength, then we can finish it off with a final blow.

The severely wounded Ironback Wolf charged wildly, and the father and son simply followed, without engaging it in combat.

After letting it thrash around for about half an hour, and seeing that it was clearly tired, Shen Yuan seized the opportunity and rushed forward in a flash.

With the aid of spiritual power, the longsword in his hand flashed with a cold light, slicing open a large gash in the belly of the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf!

Blood mixed with entrails and intestines flowed all over the ground, and the Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's life force was rapidly fading away.

After a long time, the enormous creature finally collapsed, unwilling to accept its fate.

The release date has been confirmed: May 14th at 5:0. The author will post a detailed release statement later.
