Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 2 Fierce Battle Against a Pack of Wolves!
Although three or four breaths is not a long time, it was enough for Chen Qian to roughly observe the situation of the wolf pack.

Except for one particularly ferocious and enormous wolf on a distant hillside that remained motionless, the rest of the wolves attacked the group with overwhelming force.

These wolves came on strong, but each of them had sustained varying degrees of damage and looked rather disheveled.

It seems Uncle Seven's guess was correct. Most of the wolves had lost in the territorial battle and were chased to the edge of the Sunset Mountains. They were now crippled and hungry, and had no choice but to attack the caravan and hunt them by force.

While wolf packs in this state may lack stamina, they are even more dangerous because they have nowhere left to retreat and are in a desperate situation.

The wolf pack looked like a dark, dense mass, numbering around a hundred. Among them, about ten were particularly robust and ferocious, clearly leaders who had advanced to the rank of low-grade first-tier demonic beasts.

Although Chen Hongyuan was capable of charging into the wolf pack and killing them all without a single blow, he dared not make a rash move because the wolf king on the hillside had not moved either.

The wolf king was clearly a mid-grade first-tier wolf, and its speed and strength were incomparable to those of ordinary wolves.

If they are not careful and are not restrained in time, their side will suffer casualties instantly.

Soon, the wolf pack was several feet away.

They all took to the air, curling up into a ball, and shot towards the people at the front of the line like a sphere.

This is the Ironback Wolf's most effective attack method, because its back is the hardest part of its body, with a thick layer of bone. If it hits you hard, even a master would suffer.

However, if the wolf's strength is not much different from yours, you should not panic and dodge, because the wolf's second attack after you miss is very fast, and its fangs and claws are not to be underestimated.

The best way to deal with it is to use skillful force to deflect the impact, thereby disrupting the rhythm of its second attack.

Overall, the Ironback Wolf is not difficult to deal with. As long as you handle the first three attacks well, you can quickly kill it.

The correct response is not difficult to describe, but it greatly tests the combat skills of cultivators or martial artists.

If not handled properly, you may be quickly bitten in a vital spot and become a victim of its wolfish bite.

Although Chen Hongyuan dared not commit mass killings and focused most of his attention on the wolf king, as soon as the wolf pack got close, he quickly unleashed three small fireballs that he had been preparing for a long time. In a flash of fire, the three wolves at the front turned to ashes amidst a mournful howl.

At the same time, a series of rapid thuds rang out. The first collision between the group and the wolf pack was like the encounter between rocks and raging waves. Some rocks shattered the waves, while others were overturned by them.

Although the scene was a little chaotic, the people did not break down.

Some of the more capable members of the Chen family quickly seized the opportunity and beheaded the demon wolves that had not yet regained their footing after the first wave of attacks.

Chen Qian undoubtedly achieved the greatest victory.

His strength was already remarkable; he could be considered the number one person in the team besides Chen Hongyuan. His innate true essence was as surging as a river, far more profound than that of ordinary innate masters.

In addition, he has mastered the powerful Phoenix Cry Blade Technique, combined with the swift and unpredictable Soaring Cloud Step, making him a formidable force in both offense and defense.

He first pierced the eye of a demon wolf in mid-air with a single slash, then turned his body and the blade fell into the heart of another demon wolf that was still unsteady on its feet.

The Ironback Wolf's body is as hard as iron, but its weak points are its eyes, chest, and mouth. To kill it quickly, you must attack these three areas.

Of course, if someone is powerful enough to cut it in two with a single stroke, that's a different story.

Not far from Chen Qian, a martial artist lost his footing and fell to the ground. A demonic wolf seized the opportunity and bit his calf, trying to drag him out of the battle formation.

Before anyone could help, another wolf lunged at his neck.

"My life is over!" The martial artist could only wave his hands haphazardly to block, but he knew that under such circumstances, it would be impossible to stop him.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared, and a gleaming steel blade appeared before the charging wolf. The blade plunged straight into the wolf's wide-open mouth until it was hilt-less. The wolf convulsed and died instantly.

It was Chen Qian.

This martial artist possessed considerable mental fortitude. After a brief moment of hesitation, he swiftly plunged his weapon into the eye socket of the demonic wolf that was biting his calf, killing it instantly. "Thank you for saving my life, young master."

The martial artist staggered to his feet, ignoring the bloody and mangled wound on his calf, and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"It's alright, quickly get back to the team and protect yourself."

Without turning his head, Chen Qian left a message and charged back into the wolf pack.

To be honest, for Chen Qian, this situation was not particularly dangerous. As long as he wasn't targeted by the wolf king, the other wolves wouldn't pose much of a threat to him.

After stabilizing the situation, things gradually became clearer.

The wolf pack was outnumbered, and the group could kill them with only non-fatal injuries.

The wolf king couldn't wait any longer and quickly charged down, engaging Chen Hongyuan in a fierce battle.

The Wolf King, having advanced to the mid-level of the first rank, is quite powerful, at least far stronger than Chen Qian, but still considerably inferior to Chen Hongyuan.

Ironback Wolf is, after all, a low-level demon beast and does not possess any innate magic. However, its roar has the effect of disturbing the mind, so Chen Hongyuan dared not be careless and could only concentrate fully on dealing with it.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Wolf King won't last long under Chen Hongyuan's command, and the outcome is already decided.

The battle had been going on for nearly half an hour. The wolf king did not retreat, nor did the pack of wolves. Gradually, the wolf pack was almost completely wiped out.

The setting sun had long since disappeared, and three bright moons were slowly rising in the distant west.

Yes, in this world, there is more than one moon.

At this moment, the light became brighter, and the rain poured down even harder.

Just as Chen Hongyuan killed the wolf king and turned around to look at Chen Qian, the only one still fighting in the arena, an unexpected event occurred.

Chen Qian was in the heat of battle, his blood boiling, and with his final strike, he plunged his blade into the mouth of the last low-grade first-tier demon wolf on the field. He was about to let out a long howl to the sky.

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bowl and flashing with a bright purple light, appeared out of nowhere. Like a divine punishment cleaved down from the heavens, it was mixed with torrential rain and fiercely poured into Chen Qian's brow, which was slightly raised.

In an instant, everyone in the arena was blinded, unable to see anything except the silhouette of the man at the center of the dazzling light.

"what!"

"Young Master Qian!"

"Xiao Qian!"

The crowd gasped in surprise, and Chen Hongyuan shot forward with lightning speed.

Unfortunately, Chen Qian could neither hear nor see anything. The moment the lightning struck him, he had already fainted in the instant his head spun and was thrown several meters away.

In the cultivation world, lightning has always been the most powerful force for killing. This is not lightning magic cast by cultivators, but lightning naturally generated by nature.

Low-level cultivators and ordinary mortals have never been able to escape the ravages of nature's lightning.

At least none of the people on the field had ever heard of it.

Although Chen Qian was not cleaved into ashes, his body appeared intact.

But no one present believed he was still alive.

Even more unexpectedly, this bolt of lightning was precisely Chen Qian's unparalleled opportunity and good fortune.
