The Land of the Earth

The teacher waved to Song Chaoming and the others with a serious expression and said loudly, "Go and rest first. Everyone has worked hard in this battle today."

When everyone heard this, their tense nerves finally relaxed a little and they were about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, the originally azure sky seemed to be covered by a huge blood-red curtain. The bright and strange color quickly spread, as if the whole world was immersed in blood.

Then, in the afternoon, bean-sized raindrops as red as blood hit the ground with a crackling sound, splashing scarlet water, and an inexplicable fear filled the air.

Just as everyone was astonished, a large number of wolf demons emerged from all directions like a tide. Their green eyes looked particularly ferocious against the blood-red background, and they rushed towards everyone with a roar.

These wolf demons were sturdy, their hair standing up like steel needles, their mouths bared sharp fangs, and they emitted a gust of fishy air. Seeing this, everyone rushed forward without hesitation, and a thrilling battle began.

Song Chaoming's eyes were determined, he muttered something, and suddenly swung his hands forward. Countless thick and sharp wooden spears appeared out of thin air and pierced towards the group of wolf monsters like sharp arrows. For a moment, wood chips flew everywhere, and many wolf monsters were pierced by the wooden spears and let out bursts of wails.

Jingyun was not to be outdone. She raised her hands high, and balls of flame gathered in her palms, which then rained down on the wolf monsters. Wherever they went, raging flames ignited, forming a rain of fire that burned the wolf monsters and made them flee in all directions.

Tian Yuan quickly formed seals, and a huge ring of flames formed around him. He suddenly pushed the ring of flames towards the group of wolf monsters. The flames danced like a python, and the wolf monsters were instantly reduced to ashes wherever they passed.

Feng Qi opened his arms, and the strong wind whistled around him. Countless wind blades condensed in the wind and turned into a rain of arrows that shot towards the wolf demon. The rain of wind arrows whistled past, and the wolf demon was cut all over.

Chaoyun slammed the ground with both hands, and a huge earth dragon made of earth and rocks roared out of the ground, spraying huge earth dragon bombs towards the group of wolf monsters. Each earth dragon bomb could knock several wolf monsters away when it landed.

The teacher stood aside, casting defensive spells to block the wolves that had escaped the net and protect everyone, while shouting loudly for others to retreat quickly.

However, there were so many wolf demons that it seemed impossible to kill them all.

After a while, everyone's strength was gradually exhausted, everyone was panting, with expressions of fatigue and despair on their faces.

Song Chaoming's forehead was covered with sweat. He could no longer cast spells. Jingyun's flames also became weak. Tianyuan, Feng Qi and Chaoyun also collapsed to the ground, their eyes full of unwillingness.

Just when everyone thought they were going to die at the hands of wolves, the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing were heard in the distance.

Everyone strained to see a dashing man and a graceful woman galloping towards them with a group of well-equipped guards.

One of them shouted excitedly: "It's the city lord Fan Jianming and his wife Fan Xinxin. Now we are saved!" Hope was rekindled in the eyes of the crowd that had originally been desperate.

Fan Jianming took the lead, the long sword in his hand gleaming coldly, and every time he swung it, a splash of blood was brought up. Fan Xinxin followed closely behind, the long whip in his hand dancing like a spirit snake, and wolf demons fell down wherever it went.

The guards they brought with them were not afraid and fought a desperate battle with the wolf demon.

For a moment, shouts and screams were intertwined, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.

However, the wolf demon's ferocity was beyond everyone's imagination.

After just a moment, the guards fell one after another, and their blood dyed the ground red.

Despite this, the wolf demon also paid a heavy price, and large numbers of wolf demon corpses piled up like mountains.

At this time, the only one left on the battlefield was the most terrifying wolf demon leader - the Sky-Devouring Giant Wolf, and several wolf demons around it that were still gasping for breath.

Fan Xinxin looked at the giant Sky Devouring Wolf in front of her, which was as huge as a small mountain. Her eyes were filled with fear. She said to Fan Jianming in a trembling voice: "What should I do? Husband, this is a Sky Devouring Wolf.

It's a demon from the third realm of Poetry, its strength is unfathomable, but we've only just entered the first realm of Poetry, we're no match for it!"

Fan Jianming clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. He knew his wife was right, but there was no turning back now.

Before they could come up with a countermeasure, the Sky-Devouring Wolf launched an attack.

It opened its bloody mouth and a powerful suction force surged out of it, as if it wanted to swallow everything around it.

Fan Jianming and Fan Xinxin fought hard, but were still hit by the force and fell heavily to the ground. They were covered in wounds and blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths.

Fan Jianming looked at Fan Xinxin, his eyes full of determination. He said with difficulty: "Xinxin, that's the only way."

Fan Xinxin was slightly stunned, then she understood what her husband meant, and a trace of sadness and determination flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, she felt mixed emotions, thinking that once this forbidden technique was used, both she and her husband would have no hope of survival. However, for the young lives behind them and for the land they were protecting, she had no choice.

The same was true for Fan Jianming. He knew very well that this was a road of no return, but when he saw those people trembling with fear because of the wolf demon, a sense of mission surged in his heart.

"We can't let anyone die because of us, even if it means sacrificing their own lives." He said silently in his heart.

The two exchanged glances and began to perform the forbidden technique—Sea of ​​Flame Swallowing Clouds. They slowly raised their hands, palms facing each other, and chanted something.

In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and the already blood-red sky became even darker, as if it was painted with thick ink. The clouds rolled violently, like boiling water, surging in the sky.

The air around seemed to be ignited, scorching hot. The sand and stones on the ground began to tremble slightly, then floated up, stirred by an invisible force.

As the spell was chanted, a circle of dazzling red light appeared around Fan Jianming and Fan Xinxin's bodies, and the light became brighter and brighter, like the scorching sun.

Veins bulged on their foreheads, sweat poured down their cheeks, yet they remained completely focused. Fan Xinxin silently chanted, "I must succeed. I must destroy this giant Sky-Devouring Wolf."

Fan Jianming thought: "If we can exchange our lives for everyone's safety, it's worth it."

Immediately afterwards, strands of flames emerged from between their palms. The flames were as thin as silk threads at first, but they carried extremely high temperatures, distorting the surrounding air.

These threads of flame quickly intertwined and merged, turning into a mighty torrent of flames that rushed in all directions.

The flames spread wildly in all directions like surging waves. Each flame seemed to have life, jumping, rolling, and devouring everything.

Wherever the flames reached, the ground was burned black and cracked, with magma-like liquid flowing in the cracks. The surrounding trees instantly turned to ashes and drifted away in the wind. Even the wolf demons that had not yet died were burned to charcoal in an instant.

The clouds in the sky were also swallowed by the overwhelming flames. The red flames reflected on everyone's face, reflecting fear, shock and reluctance.

In the sea of ​​fire, the Sky-Devouring Wolf roared in pain. It tried to resist with its demonic power, but the flames entangled it like a maggot attached to its bones, constantly burning its fur, muscles, and even its soul.

The sound almost broke people's eardrums, but the power of Yanhai Swallowing Cloud was too strong, and it was eventually completely swallowed by the flames and fell to the ground.

Fan Jianming and Fan Xinxin, who had performed the forbidden technique, had exhausted all their strength and vitality, and their bodies gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared in front of everyone.

Everyone stared blankly at the place where they disappeared, their eyes filled with tears and reluctance. Song Chaoming clenched his fists and secretly vowed in his heart that he must become stronger, to protect everyone and to commemorate these two great benefactors.
