Shen Yuan Ring

A night is very short, but today Ji Daoyi and his three companions felt it was exceptionally long. Wang Dan's breakthrough caused the surrounding Yuan energy to gather towards their cave, and they were afraid that the anomaly here would attract demonic beasts.

"Brother Dao, will there be any monsters attacking tonight? The Yuan energy is still pouring in. Should we stop Wang Dan from breaking through for the time being?"

“No, if we suddenly interrupt his breakthrough now, it will be even more difficult for him to break through again in a short period of time. You don’t want Wang Dan to miss this opportunity, do you?”

"Well... alright, if a monster attacks, I'll definitely fight to the death to stop it."

"Stop talking about dying or not. It's still uncertain whether the monsters will come or not. Don't let your jinx bring them here."

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any demonic beasts here that are above the Tendon Refining Realm, and even if there are, it would be extremely rare. We're not that unlucky."

Perhaps it was fate; what we feared most often came to pass.

Ji Daoyi suddenly discovered that a pack of wolves had gathered outside the cave entrance at some point, numbering about twenty to thirty.

Ji Daoyi immediately reminded everyone, "Attention everyone, we're in trouble."

Ji Xiaohu suddenly stood up and asked, "Brother Dao, what's the trouble?"

Ji Daoyi pointed to the wolf pack outside and said, "That's trouble. They've surrounded us. They must have been attracted by the unusual Yuan energy when Wang Dan broke through. So everyone, prepare for battle."

"We absolutely cannot let these beasts interfere with Wang Dan's breakthrough. Our main focus is defense, divided into three layers. I will be on the first layer, at the outermost edge; Ji Zihan and Sun Puyue will be on the second layer, dealing with the wolf demons I release; Xiao Hu, you are the last line of defense, dealing with the wolf demons near the cave. Is everyone confident in completing this mission?"

"We must have it, for the sake of our brothers!"

"Yes, for our brothers!"

Then, Ji Dao took a step forward, exuding an aura of unyielding strength.

"Ow~"

A wolf howl rang out, its voice majestic, like the alpha wolf of the pack issuing a command to attack.

Upon hearing the howl, the stagnant wolf pack cautiously advanced.

The sudden appearance of Ji Daoyi gave them the imposing presence of a wolf king, making them hesitant to attack, but they had no choice but to obey their king's orders.

Ji Daoyi carefully examined the wolf pack before him, finding that most of them were Blood Refining Realm wolf demons. He estimated that Sun Puyue and Ji Zihan could handle a few Blood Refining Realm wolf demons without any problem, so he didn't plan to deal with them himself.

If you eat the meat yourself, you should at least leave some soup for the other brothers. If you deal with all the wolf demons by yourself, it will only make you look too good and will not help to train your teammates' teamwork and coordination, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the team.

The wolf king seemed to sense that his underlings were afraid of the enemy in front of them and dared not attack, so he howled a few more times, as if to put pressure on them.

With the wolf king's threat, the wolf pack indeed became much bolder. Several of the strongest alpha wolves even led the charge towards him. Ji Daoyi didn't hold back and directly trapped the most powerful ones, while the rest were so frightened that they all bypassed him.

They saw that Ji Dao had trapped the strongest wolf demon and only released the wolf demons at the Blood Refining Realm. Instead of being angry, they seemed very happy and used various Yuan Techniques to attack the wolf demons that were rushing towards them.

Their teamwork was flawless; within minutes, half of the wolf demons that Ji Dao had released were killed or injured.

"Ow~"

"Ow~"

The wolf king's howls grew closer, clearly indicating that it sensed its minions were dwindling. It was determined to investigate personally, lest it become a lone wolf without its followers.

The wolf king knew that its ability to hunt stronger monsters on the outskirts was all thanks to the help of its underlings.

Ji Daoyi realized that the extreme probability he had mentioned had occurred once he saw the wolf king clearly.

The one who came to cause trouble was a wolf king at the Tendon Refining Realm, and it was even at the mid-stage of Tendon Refining Realm.

"As expected, what you fear most is what happens. If it were any other time, I could have played around with you. Why did you have to show up now?" Ji Daoyi muttered to himself upon seeing the suddenly appearing wolf king.

This wolf king was very large, even taller than Ji Daoyi. Its fur was grayish-white, and its bright, large eyes shimmered with a green light in the firelight.

The wolf king, exuding the aura of a superior, scrutinized the child before it. It wanted to know why the child could imprison several of its generals and not be afraid of it.

To prevent any accidents, Ji Daoyi formed hand seals and directly killed the wolf demon in the Refining Organs Realm who was trapped in the "drawing a circle on the ground as a prison".

When the wolf king saw that the child in front of him was so disrespectful, refusing to release his subordinates even after the wolf king arrived in person, and even killing them all, he was shocked.

This is a provocation against the dignity of its wolf king!

This child is unforgivable!

Only by tearing him to pieces can the wolf king's dignity be restored, and only then can he hold his head high in front of his underlings in the future.

Watching Ji Zihan and Ji Zihan fight relentlessly from the back, Ji Xiaohu felt an intense urge to join in and help. However, remembering his mission and glancing at the cave behind him, his desire to rush forward and fight alongside them vanished.

"Ow~"

The wolf king howled and charged at Ji Daoyi.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and Ji Daoyi, draped in a black cloak, appeared even more dashing at that moment.

Ji Daoyi did not use the "Limitless Blade Technique," but instead used the "Seven Star Blade," which he had practiced the earliest, to fight the Wolf King.

"Qiang Qiang"

The wolf king's tail swept against the Seven Star Blade, making a sound.

The wolf king, having missed its target, lashed out with its tail at Ji Daoyi. Had he not reacted quickly and used the blade of the Seven Star Blade to block, he would have been badly injured.

In battles between masters, the difference between winning and losing often lies in just one or two moves. As long as Ji Daoyi is injured, he will always be at a relative disadvantage.

Ji Daoyi hadn't expected the wolf king to have such a strong fighting spirit, able to launch a second attack after missing its first! Although it was their first encounter, Ji Daoyi knew that it was far stronger than that scarred-faced wolf.

After several clashes, the man and the wolf separated, and their strength became evenly matched!

A few minutes later, the wolf king stopped attacking. It couldn't take down the child in front of it for the time being, and its minions were already down to half their original size.

After a moment's hesitation, the wolf king issued the order to retreat. As an excellent leader, the most important thing is to cut losses in time.

If it continues to fight head-on, its allies will probably all lose, which is not what it wants.

The wolf pack, which had no desire to fight in the first place, scattered with their tails between their legs upon hearing the wolf king's order to retreat. They were much faster than when they arrived, and they all wished they had an extra leg.

The Wolf King's retreat was much more elegant, displaying his kingly demeanor to the fullest. He even gave Ji Daoyi a deep look at the end, as if he wanted to remember him.
