I picked up the scattered attributes

In his perception, several familiar yet unfamiliar auras were rapidly approaching along one of the secret passages of the grotto.

……

Chapter 0164

Not long after, a fierce battle broke out. Three Yuan Dan Realm experts appeared out of nowhere and clashed in close combat. The immense energy swept in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the grotto was blasted into ruins.

If it weren't for the unique characteristics of Daheifeng Mountain, with its strength and toughness far exceeding that of ordinary rocks, this area might have been completely buried by landslides before the battle ended.

"Hehehe...hehe..."

After a fierce battle, the two despicable humans were torn to pieces and died on the spot, while the demon snake disguised as a human was devoured by the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf, whose demon core was consumed and whose flesh and blood became nourishment for healing.

Somewhat weakened, the Thousand Transformations Demon Wolf lay prostrate on the ravaged ground, digesting the immense power contained within its demon core. For a moment, it was somewhat bewildered: "Why did Qinglin join forces with humans... to launch a surprise attack on me?"

This question baffled him.

Humans are rarely involved in the conflicts among the monsters. In their view, defeating an enemy with the help of humans is not an honor for monsters who worship power, but rather a great disgrace!

But that's exactly what Qinglin did!

"Forget it, no need to think about it so much. Once I digest his demon core, my strength will increase even further. By then..."

The Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf felt a little strange. Logically speaking, as he devoured Qinglin's demon core, the cultivation and spirit he had lost in the battle should have gradually recovered.

But at this moment, his mind was somewhat dazed, as if he had experienced a severe drain on his energy and was rapidly falling into silence.

"What...is...something...wrong..."

Lost in intermittent thoughts, the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf fell silent.

In a daze, he opened his eyes again.

In the distance, from a secret passage, a demonic ape carrying two human cubs emerged from the cave entrance, grumbling and cursing. Then, upon seeing the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf's questioning gaze, the ape quickly put on a fawning smile:

"My esteemed lord, I have heard from the human kingdoms..."

"Strange, I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before?"

The Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf's doubts grew stronger. Suddenly, he frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, or as if he remembered nothing at all.

As the demonic ape spoke in its ear, the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf's heart stirred slightly, and it almost instinctively spoke:

"Let them strip naked here."

The demon ape and the two human cubs were all taken aback, and strange expressions appeared on their faces one after another.

Suddenly, the demonic ape sighed, "Wolf King... why did you discover the anomaly so early?"

The Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf immediately bristled with its wolf hair and stood up abruptly: "You're talking nonsense..."

Right now.

An unprecedented wave of dizziness struck him.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf suddenly froze on the spot, its body trembling slightly. Its eyes sometimes struggled and sometimes revealed bloodlust. However, after a short while, the clarity was quickly suppressed, and in the end, only a blank look remained.

"it's over?"

"It should be over by now."

In the empty cave, the demon ape and the two little ones looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment, seeing that the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf no longer reacted, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their figures gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely.

"nailed it."

outside world.

Feng Xia breathed a slight sigh of relief, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Zhu Youniang, who was standing to the side, looked at him, gently spit out a few white threads, wrapped them into a white handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from Feng Xia's forehead.

They crept forward, where the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf, over ten zhang long, lay curled up on the ground, its breathing calm and even, as if it were in a beautiful dream.

As you can see, there is a bloody hole in the wolf's forehead, from which half of a sword hilt is exposed, and the words "Jinghua" can be faintly seen on it.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf seemed completely unaware of the foreign object on its forehead, simply lying there quietly, emitting even breaths.

Beside the demon wolf, Qingyue Xiaotong visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "The first time he slammed his weapon at me, I almost thought I was going to die..."

As a result, using the hilt of the Jinghua Sword as a conduit, Feng Xia dragged the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf into the illusion in that instant.

Everything that followed was merely a series of repetitive, erosions of the wolf king's will within a vast illusion.

Unlike the previous situation, Feng Xia was in his own Purple Mansion, which was equivalent to fighting on home ground, giving him a natural advantage. Moreover, he was only facing a split soul, not a fully formed avatar.

Now, the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf is its complete form, and its strength is naturally incomparable to what it was before.

Therefore, Feng Xia had no choice but to resort to this extraordinary measure to ensure that no possible accidents would occur.

“This fellow wolf Daoist.”

At this moment, Feng Xia stepped forward step by step, his expression filled with compassion, and said, word by word, "The road to the Yellow Springs is long, fellow Daoist, may you have a safe journey. I, Feng, will not see you off."

shhhhh--

The Great Perfection Sword Heart erupted instantly, and the Thirteen Swords of Peerless Heroes transformed into a sword wheel, shining like a blazing sun in the sky!

At the same time, Mo Lianque and Qing Lin, both at the Yuan Dan realm, along with everyone else present, unleashed their full power and unleashed their strongest attacks, all of which were poured onto the Thousand Transformation Demon Wolf!

"Ouch..."

The Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf struggled a few times, as if trying to wake up from the illusion, but in the end, he couldn't take that step.

It merely let out a low, mournful cry, and then the power of the three Yuan Dan realm cultivators erupted, reducing the demon beast lord to ashes in less than a breath!

"It's finally completely over."

Mo Lianque let out a long sigh of relief, a look of relief appearing on his face.

Qinglin seemed unchanged, but Fengxia could still clearly feel that her flat chest rose and fell slightly, as if she had just exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Hopefully, eliminating this avatar will divert the Golden Roc Demon King's attention and buy us more time." Mo Lianque finally smiled. "That way, we can properly prepare for our trip to the Imperial Mausoleum."

As for who is right and who is wrong after the trip to the imperial tombs, only a proper confrontation will reveal the truth.

The imperial court has planned and schemed for many years, expending countless human and material resources for all of this. It is time to see the results of its efforts and judgments.

"The sensation has indeed disappeared."

After carefully inspecting the gift and activating the Golden Roc Feather Transformation Technique several times, Feng Xia finally smiled and said, "I'm sure the Golden Roc Demon King will really like this gift I sent. In that case, let's give him a little more."

……

Chapter 0165

After hearing Feng Xia's words, Mo Lian Que felt a chill run down his spine.

you……

Want more?!

"Could it be that there is another incarnation of the Golden Roc Demon King nearby?"

After pondering for a moment, Mo Lianque was still puzzled. In the end, he could only look at Feng Xia and say helplessly, "If the avatar is too far away from us, it would be a waste of time and effort to travel a long distance to attack it."

The reason they attacked and killed the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf was to buy time and divert the attention of the Golden Roc Demon King Ying Chengpeng, so that they would have enough time to maneuver.

If you kill for the sake of killing, you've strayed from your original intention and will only drag yourself into it, wasting precious time.

Mo Lianque believed that Feng Xia understood this principle.

"The death of one of his avatars can indeed divert Ying Chengpeng's attention," Feng Xia said with a faint smile, his tone enigmatic. "However, the Thousand Transformation Demon Wolf's territory is too close to Thousand Autumn Valley and Xuanwu Kingdom, so there's still a possibility of it being targeted by their wrath, therefore..."

He paused abruptly as he finished speaking, and at the same time, Feng Xia slowly opened his hands.

Everyone stared intently, and saw a small blue lotus floating in Feng Xia's palm, which at first glance looked like a dreamlike flower.

"This aura..." Qing Lin frowned slightly and said softly, "It seems to be the Thousand Transformations Demon Wolf?"

"How could this be?" Mo Lianque exclaimed immediately. "Wasn't the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf already... destroyed by us?"

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf has indeed been completely destroyed."

Feng Xia couldn't help but grin. This was a kind of supernatural power from the "Floating Dream Three Lives Technique." However, he couldn't say it out loud to everyone. He just waved his hand and smiled, "But before he died, I seized a wisp of his true spirit."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lianque was even more horrified: "Sect Leader Feng is clearly a sword cultivator... yet he can even do something like this?"

In his view, if Feng Xia were to unleash a single sword strike and annihilate the enemy, both body and soul, that would be entirely within his acceptable range. But something like this, seizing a wisp of true spirit from the soul…

Such methods are beyond his comprehension!

To this, Feng Xia simply shook his head, not answering directly, but instead smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think is my greatest strength?"

"Of course, it's a sword..."

He had only uttered half a sentence when he remembered the incident not long ago when Feng Xia wielded his sword to slay a Yuan Dan.

Clearly, Feng Xia's skill in the way of the sword is profound, probably no less than his skill in the way of the sword!

“Then, it’s very likely not the way of the sword, nor the way of the knife… Could it be that what Master Feng is truly good at is…” Mo Lianque’s heart skipped a beat, and he dared not continue to imagine.

"This wisp of true spirit has no memory or thought; its only function is to maintain contact with Ying Chengpeng."

"What--"

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately changed.

Does the true spirit of the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf still maintain contact with Ying Chengpeng?
