Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 159

Wilderness - Land far away from cities and towns

The Five Elements Sect and the Cloud Sword Sect, consisting of eight people, are at war with the demonic tribe. However, they are not at an advantage because the Heavenly Wolf King has more fourth-order demonic beasts under its command.

But cultivators are not at a disadvantage either. The biggest strength of cultivators is their ability to use tools. These Nascent Soul Ancestors are all well-off, with at least three to five protective treasures on their bodies. The demonic tribe, on the other hand, can only rely on their physical strength to resist.

On the other hand, Jiang Yijian has gained the upper hand. After dozens of rounds of battle with the Heavenly Wolf King, he has only managed to break two of Jiang Yijian's protective treasures, while the Heavenly Wolf King is heavily injured and can only rely on its strong self-healing abilities to endure.

"The Wolf Swallows the Moon"

The Heavenly Wolf King became anxious. Seeing that the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit was about to ripen and the enemy was still so stubborn, it instantly used its innate ability, Moon Howling Heavenly Wolf.

Jiang Yijian saw the body of the Heavenly Wolf King suddenly grow to a height of several tens of yards, and felt a sense of danger. Just as he was about to create some distance, he felt a strong force pulling him towards the Heavenly Wolf King's mouth, causing his body to be uncontrollably swallowed.

This is the Heavenly Wolf King's innate ability, cultivated to the extreme, capable of swallowing even the moon in the sky with a single bite.

"Senior Brother Jiang"

The Nascent Soul of the Cloud Sword Sect became anxious and wanted to go rescue, but unfortunately, they were all entangled by their opponents and couldn't free themselves.

"It's our turn to take action. I will deal with the Heavenly Wolf King, and you all handle the other fourth-ranked demonic beasts."

Qi Yunzhao left a few words, suddenly made a move, and his flying sword appeared behind the Heavenly Wolf King. He nearly chopped off the wolf king's head with one swing.

"Awoo"

The Heavenly Wolf King was hurt by the sword strike. It turned around, looked at Qi Yunzhao, and pounced, intending to bite him to death.

"Trapped"

Qi Yunzhao was agile and evaded this attack. He quickly used a rope-like magical treasure, which expanded in the wind. A one-meter-long rope turned into several hundred meters long, coiling around the Heavenly Wolf King and securely binding it.

"Ah..."

The Heavenly Wolf King couldn't stand being trapped, struggling desperately. Its body swelled up again, and the rope-like treasure showed signs of cracking.

"Burn the sky and boil the sea."

Qi Yunzhao didn't dare to approach. The Heavenly Wolf King was extremely dangerous at this moment, so Qi Yunzhao directly cast a spell.

Countless fireballs fell from the sky, hitting the Heavenly Wolf King. The Heavenly Wolf King felt pain again and started howling.

"Be careful, senior brother."

The hurt Heavenly Wolf King once again unleashed its supernatural power. This time, it was the wolf hair on its body. Hundreds of them shot out. Seeing this, Qi Yunzhao summoned a shield to protect himself.

"Boom."

However, among these wolf hair, there was a wolf tooth shooting towards them. It was the Heavenly Wolf King's treasure, a wolf tooth shed and refined through a simple process.

The wolf's fangs pierced through Qi Yunzhao's shield, then pierced through his protective energy. Qi Yunzhao was thrown backwards and a large gash appeared on his abdomen.

"Beast, you're asking for death."

Chen Mingyang took hold of Qi Yunzhao while a giant cauldron appeared. It smashed heavily onto the Heavenly Wolf King, sending him flying and causing a small mountain to collapse.

"Bang"

However, the Heavenly Wolf King had also freed himself at this time. He crouched low, his bloodthirsty gaze sweeping across the scene.

"Together, let's kill this beast and share the treasures."

Qi Yunzhao reappeared, his wounds quickly healing. As a wealthy Nascent Soul cultivator, he had plenty of healing treasures, after all.

"I'm going to eat all of you."

The Heavenly Wolf King spoke with a human voice and then rose up using his own strength. His two front paws instantly grew larger, and his sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light.

"Boom"

Before the Heavenly Wolf King could take action, a sudden change occurred. The Heavenly Wolf King's abdomen exploded, and Jiang Yijian emerged from within, covered in slime.

"Senior Brother Jiang"

"Yes, Brother Jiang"

"Brother Jiang is not dead"

Upon hearing that Jiang Yijian was not dead, the Cloud Sword Sect's Nascent Soul disciples were overjoyed. This was great news.

"Qi Yunzhao, you can step back now. The Heavenly Wolf King is mine."

"How is Brother Jiang doing?"

"Haha, you just have to watch."

Jiang laughed coldly, and then a precious sword floated above his head.

"Let's see what Senior Brother Jiang can do."

Qi Yunzhao didn't argue with Jiang, he had already realized that the Heavenly Wolf King still had the power to fight. He went to deal with the other fourth-tier monsters first.

"You beast, I'm going to skin you alive."

"Human, I'm going to eat you."

Jiang and the Heavenly Wolf King collided once again, but Jiang obviously didn't have the advantage he had before. He was sucked into the Wolf King's stomach, where the Wolf King instinctively tried to assimilate him. To resist this assimilation, Jiang used a secret technique to protect himself. Otherwise, he would have been assimilated long ago.

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😩)

They fought in close combat, with Jiang using his sword and the Wolf King using its sharp claws, which were its best weapons.

"Its claws are a problem."

In the midst of the fight, Jiang realized that one of the Wolf King's claws had a problem, recalling the one that Lin Batian had auctioned off.

"Kill"

Jiang Yijian reacted instantly. He swung his sword towards the claw of the Heavenly Wolf King, who instinctively resisted with its claw and attempted to grab Jiang Yijian's throat with its other claw.

"*Splat*"

Another claw of the Heavenly Wolf King fell down, while Jiang Yijian managed to avoid a fatal blow to his throat. However, his shoulder was nearly crushed, forcing him to quickly step back and take out a healing pill.

"*Howl*"

The Heavenly Wolf King let out a miserable cry and then escaped. It had already suffered serious injuries, and continuing the fight would only lead to its death. The fourth-level demons like the Thunder Cloud Beast would not hesitate to tear it apart and devour its Demon Core, allowing them to advance and become stronger.

The world of demons is even more cruel than that of humans.

But before the Heavenly Wolf King left, it wanted to swallow the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit. It had guarded this spiritual medicine for hundreds of years and couldn't waste it. Moreover, the medicinal power of the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit could also heal its injuries.

The Purple Origin Taoist Fruit grew on the nodes of the spiritual veins within the Heavenly Wolf King's lair. The Heavenly Wolf King instantly shrank its body and prepared to rush into the cave to devour the fruit.

"Run away, wicked creature!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yijian was instantly shocked. Ignoring his injuries, he wielded his sword and chased after the Heavenly Wolf King.

Before he could slay the Heavenly Wolf King with his flying sword, a sudden change occurred. A long spear descended from the sky and pinned the Heavenly Wolf King to the ground at the entrance of the cave.

The force of the spear surged, knocking Jiang Yijian's flying sword away.

"Woof..."

In an instant, the Heavenly Wolf King returned to its original form. It howled and struggled, but couldn't break free at all. The spear emitted a strange spiritual power, making it completely weak and destroying its vitality.

"Anhua CityLin family"

"It is I, esteemed Taoist friends. Please allow me to introduce myself."

Lin Batian gracefully descended from mid-air and stood before Jiang Yijian.

"Lin Batian, do you dare to steal food from the Three Clan's hands in Anhua City, do you not want to get along?"

"Taoist Friend Jiang, we can't be so domineering as human beings, the Wilderness doesn't belong to the three families. You can't defeat the Heavenly Wolf King, but I won. Any problem?"

"Ha ha, clever tongue, no matter how much you talk today, you can't change the fact that you stole treasures from us."

"Oh well, since we can't explain it clearly, let's settle it with our strength then."

"You..."

"What 'you', I'll just steal from you. What can you do? If you have the ability, steal it back. If not, shut up."

Lin Batian said boldly, he revealed his true intentions, no more pretending. He's going to steal from you, so what? If you have the ability, steal it back.

"Then let me learn from Taoist Friend Lin's skills today. Where are the disciples of Cloud Sword Sect?"

"Senior Brother Jiang, we're here."

The Nascent Soul from the Cloud Sword Sect stood in front of Jiang Yijian. At this moment, the fourth-level demon beasts saw the defeat of the Heavenly Wolf King and fled in panic. They didn't pursue them, but instead chose to deal with Lin Batian.

The people from the Five Elements Sect and the Zhonghang Sect also didn't go after the remaining demon beasts. They gathered together, forming three directions, surrounding Lin Batian.

"I love group battles the most. Let's see how powerful the Nascent Soul of the dominant sect in Yun State is."

Lin Batian laughed and reached out, grabbing his long spear. With a shake of his hand, the tip of the spear trembled and the abdomen of the Heavenly Wolf King exploded. The already severely injured Heavenly Wolf King instantly perished.

"Friend Nie, the strength of Anhua City is already strong enough. We cannot let them obtain the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit. Let's cooperate..."

"Friend Qi, Anhua City doesn't need a fourth overlord. If we cooperate..."

Jiang Yijian sent a message to Nie Wuyuan and Qi Yunzhao. Not only did he want the Cloud Sword Sect to join forces against Lin Batian, but he also wanted to bring together the Five Elements Sect and the Zhonghang Sect.

The two sects quickly agreed. Lin Batian's appearance was highly disliked by them. When did Anhua City, with its influence in Yun State, have the right to interfere in their affairs? They must give Lin Batian a profound lesson and make him understand why the three sects are the overlords.
