Chapter 1122 Sneak Attack
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I don't have the ability, so I dare not go any further... but because of this, I'm not too sure I can go any further."

Qi Qingmei said, "To be honest, junior brother, knowing all this, we wouldn't dare to come and wipe them out on our own."

They originally thought that the actions of the experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect had revealed the secrets of the Azure Lotus Sea.

Although there are powerful demons, they are few and far between; otherwise, the experts of the Heavenly Sword Sect would have been wiped out before they could receive any help.

I never expected there to be so many powerful demons. According to Chu Zhiyuan's map, there are four powerful demons within a hundred miles.

There are also two giant monsters.

This is far too powerful for any of the four major sects; it's like a pit of fire.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's advance a hundred miles first, and then we'll talk about the rest... This should be enough to explain to the sect, right?"

Qi Qingmei said, "Even if we just leave, the Palace Master won't blame us."

"Is the Palace Master really that enlightened?"

"Life comes first, everything else comes second; this is the rule in our palace."

Chu Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "The way the Guanghan Palace does things is indeed different."

Doing so is tantamount to being afraid of death.

Especially within a sect, such actions often lead to disunity and an inability to overcome difficulties.

The disciples can only fight when things are going well, not when things are going badly, so their combat strength is naturally not high.

He glanced at Qi Qingmei and understood why the Guanghan Palace had such rules.

The Guanghan Palace's techniques are stronger, overwhelming the other three of the four sects. Therefore, the disciples do not need to turn the tide; they only need to survive, and they will eventually be able to get their revenge.

The two spoke in hushed tones as they sped along.

Chu Zhiyuan pointed out where there was a great demon, what kind of great demon, and where there was a giant demon.

She asked very detailed questions, her expression growing increasingly solemn, sensing the danger involved.

As they passed a giant wolf, her body tensed involuntarily, and her delicate hand rested on the hilt of her sword.

Chu Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, please don't draw out the aura of the Bright Moon Divine Sword."

Qi Qingmei slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and removed her jade-like hand from the sword hilt.

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Qi Qingmei activates the Bright Moon Divine Sword, she will surely awaken this giant wolf.

It is much larger than the previous giant bear, and its weak point is below its neck, making it extremely difficult to ambush.

Qi Qingmei suddenly stopped and landed on a tall and straight ancient tree.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped and stood on a branch beside her, whispering, "Senior Sister?"

Qi Qingmei looked in the direction of the giant wolf: "How about we destroy this giant monster?"

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow at her.

Qi Qingmei said, "If we destroy this giant wolf and then that great demon, there will be no more threats within a radius of thirty to fifty miles, right?"

"...There's no threat in the short term." Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, then carefully observed the surroundings before slowly saying, "But I'm afraid we can't destroy this giant demon, though the great demon is easier to deal with."

Qi Qingmei said, "Then let's eliminate the great demon first, so as not to cause trouble later."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Then let's give it a try."

He turned to the right, drifting away gracefully, and three throwing knives flew out from his sleeve.

Three throwing knives appeared in a triangular formation. Once in the air, about ten feet away from them, they began to disperse, each choosing a direction and route to shoot into the distance and disappear into the forest.

Qi Qingmei asked curiously, "Three throwing knives are enough?"

Twenty throwing knives are easier to hit, while only three are easy to dodge.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The more throwing knives there are, the weaker the power becomes as they are distributed."

Qi Qingmei said, "Then why not one?"

“One weapon is too easy to dodge,” Chu Zhiyuan said. “Three weapons can cover each other, creating a mix of feints and real attacks.”

Qi Qingmei nodded slowly.

They were incredibly fast, and even when they concealed their presence, their speed didn't decrease.

The five-mile distance was covered in the blink of an eye.

Qi Qingmei's bright eyes shone as she focused on sensing her surroundings, but she was completely unaware of anything.

Chu Zhiyuan also looked around, as if searching for something.

"Senior sister, let's go down first," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Qi Qingmei agreed.

The two floated down from the sky to the mountainside, surrounded by dense forest.

Overgrown with weeds and entwined with vines, there was no path to take, so the only option was to use light-footed skills.

The two stood on a blue stone outside the woods, looking around.

He kept glancing around, clearly filled with unease and vigilance.

Suddenly, a ripple flashed behind them.

A wolf's head appeared.

It was as if a wolf's head emerged from the lake, and then a human body appeared.

It formed claws with both hands and silently clawed at the backs of the two people.

Just as his palms were about to touch their clothes, Chu Zhiyuan pulled Qi Qingmei aside, narrowly avoiding the attack.

At the same time, a wisp of light, formed from a throwing knife, flew out from the woods.

"what!"

The great demon with a wolf's head and a human body suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. His body was covered in yellow light.

If a spark falls into the oil, a yellow light will quickly spread and diffuse across it.

It spread throughout the body in the blink of an eye.

It screamed and lunged at Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei, but they dodged it.

Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei were suddenly pulled by ropes from behind, forming a straight line in the air and quickly moving away from the great demon.

As the great demon chased after them, it was struck by two more blades. The yellow light on its body rapidly intensified and then transformed into a ball of golden flames that rose up.

"Hey——!"

Amidst the howling of the wolf, the yellow flames were extinguished.

A green pill fell and was caught by a throwing knife, then delivered to Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei reached out her jade-like hand and picked up the demon core, examining it closely: "A green demon core, this is the first time I've seen one like this."

Judging from the size of this demon core, its cultivation level is intermediate.

Even a great demon with only a medium level of cultivation had to use both the Bright Moon Divine Sword and the Jade Heaven Sword together.

Now that the Demon-Subduing Blade can destroy her, Chu Zhiyuan is indeed completely different.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Senior sister, would you like it?"

"Alright, it's your turn now." Qi Qingmei shook her head and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan accepted it with a smile, without any further politeness.

Last time it was given to her, this time it's my turn.

Demon cores are valuable, but they can easily cause enemies to turn against each other. Even brothers should keep clear accounts and follow the rules.

Qi Qingmei said softly, "Did we disturb that giant demon?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Qi Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can we ambush it? Before it wakes up, let's strike first."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "It's difficult. It has defensive capabilities on the outside, making it hard to launch a sneak attack."

"Not even a slight chance?" Qi Qingmei asked.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's worth a try... I'll try it with the Demon-Subduing Blade first."

Qi Qingmei nodded slowly.

The two floated up a tree, skimmed forward for about ten miles, and then stopped, landing on a mountaintop.

Chu Zhiyuan pointed to the mountain: "The giant wolf is in this cave."

Qi Qingmei nodded solemnly.

Three throwing knives nimbly slipped from Chu Zhiyuan's sleeves and flew down silently.

Qi Qingmei stared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan had already closed his eyes, silently manipulating the three flying knives as he approached the cave.

The cave is a spacious white jade grotto.

The cave walls were made of cold, white jade, flawless and covered with wisps of frost.

On a huge bed of cold jade, lay a giant silver wolf.

It was forty meters long and ten meters tall, with its head lowered and saliva dripping from its mouth, which seeped onto the cold jade bed and froze.

An invisible force shrouded the cave.

If the throwing knife wants to enter the cave, it must break through this invisible barrier.

There were no gaps or loopholes to exploit; the only option was to force our way in.

This invisible force originates from the giant wolf and expands and contracts with its breath.

He opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "It's very troublesome."

Qi Qingmei looked at him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Demon-Subduing Blade is about to encounter this invisible force. This force must be a defense set up by the giant wolf, making it extremely well-matched."

"Then there's no other way but to force our way in?" Qi Qingmei sighed.

Such a giant monster must be extremely cunning; how could it possibly launch a sneak attack so easily?

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then let's go for it. Be prepared to run for your lives at any time."

"Be careful." Qi Qingmei nodded slowly.

Since things have come to this point, we can't just do nothing and retreat.

We must try to see if we can kill the giant monster.

Chu Zhiyuan steeled his resolve and no longer hesitated.

As the three throwing knives approached the cave entrance, they suddenly accelerated, flashing with golden light.

Instantly, an invisible force was shattered.

The three throwing knives, arranged in a triangular shape, are the most destructive.

That invisible force crumbled at the slightest touch.

As the invisible light barrier dissipated, the giant wolf suddenly opened its eyes, its eyes shooting out a faint green light that turned the surrounding cold jade a vibrant green.

It leaped up suddenly, as if an invisible force had lifted it to the ground silently.

It shook its silver hair and lazily looked towards the cave, towards the three flying knives rushing towards it.
