This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 23 Partridge Whistle Blocks the Way, Zhong Bai Slays the Wolf Demon

How can flesh and blood withstand thunder?

A single bolt of lightning pierced through the wolf demon's claws, and foul-smelling blood gushed out. However, the wolf demon was oblivious to its injuries at the moment.

It sensed that the terror of the human in front of it was beyond its ability to deal with, and instinctively, the wolf demon suddenly jumped back!
It leaped up and headed straight for Zhong Bai, soaring ten meters through the air. Upon seeing this, Zhong Bai frowned, and terrifying blood and qi surged forth. With a force of five thousand jin, Zhong Bai was absolutely confident that he could punch the wolf demon in front of him to death.

With a single punch, a gust of wind swept past, the wolf demon's pupils dilated, and at the critical moment, it managed to borrow strength from the void, grazing Zhong Bai's head as it tried to escape.

"You cunning beast!"

The punch that was thrown out transformed into sharp claws. Zhong Bai grabbed the wolf demon's chest, trying to capture it. But the wolf demon was not stupid. It endured the excruciating pain of Zhong Bai's five fingers tearing open its flesh and leaped over Zhong Bai's head.

Upon landing, it crashed heavily to the ground. Ignoring its injuries, the wolf demon struggled to its feet and flew straight out of the cave.

In response, a cold smile appeared on Zhong Bai's lips.

"Naive beast, killing you with one punch would be too lenient. To die slowly in fear is the price you should pay..."

Zhong Bai was not annoyed. His internal energy was abundant, and his peak Qi Refining level 4 was enough for him to use the Thunder Escape Technique to keep up with the wolf demon for a long time, so that it would not be able to escape. Therefore, Zhong Bai was not in a hurry.

In the mountains and forests, a black figure swiftly darted through the trees, ignoring the thorns that blocked its flesh and blood; the wolf demon only wanted to escape as far away as possible.

Its right forepaw had already been pierced by lightning and burned, leaving it with no fur. In addition, it had almost lost sensation in its right forepaw due to its escape.

but……

Compared to its right forepaw, its abdomen is its fatal wound!

After Zhong Bai's five fingers swept across the skin, flesh was torn open, and even a section of the intestines was ripped open.

If the wolf demon hadn't used its meager demonic power to forcefully withstand the attack, it might have been disemboweled by Zhong Bai on the spot.

Even though it managed to escape the cave, after half an hour of running, the wolf demon was almost completely drained of blood.

It knew it had reached its limit, and its speed gradually decreased, but it dared not stop.

He limped along, channeling his demonic energy to suppress his injuries...

Several thousand meters behind, Zhong Bai followed unhurriedly. Seeing that the pointer of the demon-finding compass was clearly visible, Zhong Bai knew that the wolf demon had stopped flying away.

"Running for an hour straight, no wonder it's a wolf demon, it can endure for so long even with such injuries, but unfortunately it's all in vain..."

After saying that, Zhong Bai continued to follow.

Unbeknownst to them, the wolf demon had already crossed the boundary from the shady side of the western mountain and arrived at the Ping Mountain area.

All around, the dense forest blocked out the sunlight, and poisonous insects would occasionally crawl out from the dark, damp ground.

But the wolf demon had no time to care about any of that.

With a snap, the wolf demon's hair stood on end, and three figures slowly approached it from the front.

"Senior Brother, is there really an ancient tomb hidden in Ping Mountain, and is there a Phoenix Gallbladder there?"

Phoenix Gallbladder, also known as Muchen Pearl.

A type of natural jade bead, the size of a chicken egg, red as fire, impervious to all poisons, replenishing yang and dispelling yin.

Legend has it that the phoenix gall contains the essence of fire, making it the most yang-like substance in the world.

The question was asked by a young girl in her prime, who, despite wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, appeared quite nimble.

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle felt somewhat helpless, as his junior sister had asked him this many times along the way.

How did he know the answer to this question?
He had only heard rumors, so he brought his junior brothers and sisters to investigate.

“Junior sister, this is a difficult question for your senior brother to answer. But whether it exists or not, we’ll know once we enter the tomb.” The old foreigner smiled broadly. Upon hearing this, Hua Ling had no choice but to give up. She inadvertently looked up ahead, and her previously somewhat depressed mood quickly changed.

"Senior Brother! Up ahead!"

Upon hearing the address "Senior Brother," Partridge Whistle instinctively looked ahead. A hundred meters ahead, a giant wolf, two or three meters tall at its shoulder, was staring intently at them with an eerie gaze.

"Oh no, junior brother, quickly take junior sister and retreat!"

A fierce aura made Partridge Whistle realize that the giant wolf blocking his path was no ordinary wolf; it was very likely that it had transformed into a demon.

Upon hearing this, the old foreigner became wary and retreated behind Hua Ling, protecting her.

Hua Ling, however, was perceptive and quickly noticed something was wrong with the giant wolf ahead.

"Senior Brother, look at the belly of this giant wolf!"

Upon closer inspection, Partridge Whistle's brows gradually relaxed; it turned out that the giant wolf was already seriously injured.

The gruesome wound and the constant dripping of blood suggested that this guy was at his last gasp.

As the leader of the Mountain Moving Clan, Partridge Whistle, though he had never practiced any advanced martial arts, was still skilled in martial arts and possessed the strength of a thousand jin. Facing such a blood-stained giant wolf, he was not afraid at all!
The wolf demon was on the verge of collapse. It could sense that humans were following it all the way behind it. It had been desperate to escape and still had hope, but its path ahead was blocked by new humans.

In its prime, it could easily tear the people in front of it to shreds, but now...

Fearful yet frenzied, the wolf demon roared, its howls echoing through the mountains and forests. Partridge Whistle, who was blocking its path, opened his Vajra Umbrella and charged forward with the Eight Trigrams of the Soaring Dragon.

Seeing that the other side was advancing instead of retreating, the wolf demon's last hope of survival was completely shattered. Rage filled the wolf demon's mind. Even if it died, it would take the humans who blocked its way to death with it!
Suddenly, the wolf demon transformed into a black streak of light, moving so fast that even Partridge Whistle, with his extraordinary experience, found it extremely troublesome.

Before he could think, the Vajra Umbrella blade in his hand slashed through the air at the same time. The moment they collided, a tremendous force surged forth, and Partridge Whistle was smashed dozens of steps away.

His blood and qi churned within him, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his gaze becoming cautious and wary.

The wolf demon had several new wounds on its back from being cut by sharp blades, but it was already determined to die and didn't care about these. Without stopping, it leaped up again, but this time its target was not Partridge Whistle.

Moreover, it leaped over the partridge whistle and headed straight for the old foreigner and Hua Ling, who were a hundred meters away.

The shadow streaked across the void, and Partridge Whistle didn't even have time to stop it. He could only watch helplessly as the wolf demon flew over him.

Old Yang and Hua Ling, on the other hand, were pale-faced, almost resigned to their fate...

Just as the wolf demon was about to approach the two, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly shot out from behind, forcing the charging wolf demon to stop.

The lightning exploded three meters in front of it, shattering the rocks. This scene left the three siblings, Partridge Whistle and his brother, stunned.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you beast, you're quite fast. What a pity, that's all you've got. In the end, it was just a dying struggle..."

A melodious Daoist voice slowly approached, and Zhong Bai, like a bolt of lightning, arrived in front of the wolf demon in an instant. His five fingers formed a claw, tightly gripping the wolf demon's neck, and then he lifted it into the air.

The terrifying force made it extremely difficult for the wolf demon to breathe, and its limbs trembled and twitched uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, a purple lightning bolt reappeared in Zhong Bai's palm, crackling and exploding until the wolf demon's fur was charred black.

Filled with deep resentment and hatred, the wolf demon could only breathe its last and pass away...

[Slay a minor demon and gain 50 Demon Extermination Points]

As soon as the wolf demon died, information began to appear on the demon-slaying panel in front of Zhong Bai. Hmm, easy peasy, 50 points credited.

After everything was over, Zhong Bai looked at the old foreigner and Hua Ling behind him, but subconsciously ignored Partridge Whistle in front of him who seemed a little dazed.
