Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Gazing at the towering, tree-lined, and rocky Siwu Mountain, Zhang and Liu were lost in thought.

"Now this is what a real mountain looks like," Liu Fei exclaimed.

"As expected of the Ten Thousand Mountains, I reckon there are quite a few mountains like this here," Zhang Jianyun remarked.

Just then, the Heart-Stealing Wolf King let out a howl, and its five Heart-Stealing Wolves scattered and rushed towards the Four and Five Mountains.

"Wolf King, why don't you just go up the mountain to find the fragments?" Zhang Jianyun asked curiously when he saw the Heart-Stealing Wolf King standing still.

"These four or five mountains are occupied by several powerful demonic beasts. If I go up there, they will sense my presence just like the three-eyed leopard did before. To avoid conflict, let my men go and search for them," said the Heart-Stealing Wolf King.

"What if all your Heart-Stealing Wolves are killed by the lord-level monsters of the Four or Five Mountains, just like I killed the Heart-Stealing Wolves you sent to Cangxi Town?" Zhang Jianyun teased.

"Hmph!" The Heart-Stealing Wolf King said angrily, "Do you think all these demonic beasts are as rude as you? Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. My lads won't occupy these four or five mountains. To those powerful demonic beasts, the Heart-Stealing wolves I sent are just passing ants."

"Why was that three-eyed leopard so stupid to jump out and oppose you?" Zhang Jianyun chuckled.

"That's because I entered its territory, which made it feel that I had violated its dignity, so it came out to stop me," said the Heart-Stealing Wolf King.

"Are there any fragments of divine essence on these four or five mountains?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"I only sensed one," said the Heart-Stealing Wolf King.

"You can sense the fragments of the Sirius God's divine essence, so why can't other demonic beasts sense them?" Zhang Jianyun asked curiously.

"I can sense it because I am a direct descendant of the Sirius God," the Heart-Stealing Wolf King said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianyun suddenly realized, "Since you are a direct descendant, you should know how the Sirius God perished, right?"

"How would I know? I'm a descendant of the Sirius God for generations," the Heart-Stealing Wolf King said speechlessly.

"After you collect all the fragments of the divine spark and restore the divine spark, with your current strength, can you fuse with the divine spark?" Zhang Jianyun asked doubtfully.

"Of course we can fuse, but I won't have much divine power after the fusion," said the Heart-Stealing Wolf King.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Jianyun felt relieved. If the Heart-Stealing Wolf King could be fused, then he, who possessed the system, could also be fused.

Just then, a pack of Heart-Stealing Wolves fled back from the Fourth and Fifth Mountains in a disheveled state.

Upon seeing the Heart-Stealing Wolf fleeing back, the Wolf King was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he saw a five-colored divine lion galloping down the mountain, carrying the head of a Heart-Stealing Wolf in its hand.

Hey!

Upon seeing this, the Heart-Stealing Wolf King looked up angrily and howled.

As the five-colored divine lion charged forward, Zhang Jianyun sensed a powerful and majestic aura. Clearly, this five-colored divine lion was far more powerful than the three-eyed leopard.

"Let's help the Wolf King kill this lion to avoid wasting time." Zhang Jianyun said, dismounting and charging at the Five-Colored Divine Lion with his sword drawn, followed closely by Liu Fei.

call out!

The five-colored divine lion threw the wolf head in its hand at the wolf king, and then raised its greatsword to slash at the wolf king.

The Heart-Stealing Wolf King flapped its wings and took flight, dodging the Five-Colored Divine Lion's attack. Then, while flying in the air, it attacked the Five-Colored Divine Lion from all sides with its claws.

call!

Zhang Jianyun rushed over and slashed at the Five-Colored Divine Lion with his sword.

After dodging the wolf king's attack with a roll, the five-colored divine lion swung its sword to block Zhang Jianyun's attack.

"Wolf King, you actually colluded with the human race to invade my Ten Thousand Mountains!" The Five-Colored Divine Lion immediately accused the Heart-Stealing Wolf King.

"Five-Colored Divine Lion, don't make false accusations! When did I invade the Ten Thousand Mountains?" the Wolf King said, gliding and swinging his claws to attack the Five-Colored Divine Lion.

"Then why did you send your wolf pack to roam freely in my territory?" The Five-Colored Lion's tone immediately softened.

"I'm just looking for something, not coveting your territory," the wolf king said disdainfully.

"If that's the case, then I was presumptuous and shouldn't have killed your subordinate. I apologize to you here." The Five-Colored Divine Lion said this as it dodged backward after blocking Zhang Jianyun's attack.

"Everyone, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I had no intention of offending you, so please forgive me," the Five-Colored Divine Lion continued.

For a moment, they couldn't figure out what the Five-Colored Divine Lion was up to, but Zhang and Liu both stopped their attack and looked at the Heart-Stealing Wolf King.

"Five-Colored Divine Lion, you only gave in because you couldn't handle our combined attack, right?" the Wolf King said disdainfully.

"Wolf King, what are you saying? I was just acting impulsively and didn't understand the situation. Now that I do, I will naturally no longer be your enemy," the Five-Colored Divine Lion said calmly.

"Hmph, you did kill one of my men after all, and this debt must be settled," the Wolf King said fiercely.

"I apologize for my abruptness. How about this, Wolf King, I'll give you a piece of Heavenly Tree Jade." The Five-Colored Divine Lion said, taking out a piece of Heavenly Tree Jade from his robes.

This Heavenly Tree Jade has the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit, and is very popular among cultivators.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Tree Jade, a greedy glint flashed in the Wolf King's eyes. He then said, "The lives of each of my subordinates are incredibly precious, and a single piece of Heavenly Tree Jade cannot compensate for that. However, considering your arduous cultivation, your unwavering devotion to the Dao, and the fact that you killed one of my subordinates without knowing the circumstances, I will not hold it against you too much."

call out!

As soon as the Wolf King finished speaking, the Five-Colored Divine Lion threw the Heavenly Tree Jade over.

Upon catching the Heavenly Tree Jade, the Heart-Stealing Wolf King could not hide his joy.

"Wolf King, thank you for your generosity. We shall part ways here. You are welcome to visit my cave sometime in the future." The Five-Colored Divine Lion said, turning to return to the mountain.

"Old Lion, we haven't settled the score for your attack on us two brothers yet," Liu Fei said.

Upon hearing this, the five-colored divine lion lowered its foot again: "Heroes, weren't you the ones who attacked me?"

"We two brothers are known for our friendliness in the surrounding area. Why would we attack you for no reason? You were the one who rushed down the mountain, brandishing a big knife, and charged straight at us. We had no choice but to defend ourselves."

As Liu Fei spoke, he raised the fish-patterned knife in his hand.

Seeing Liu Fei's posture, the Five-Colored Divine Lion felt a chill run down its spine: "Hero, please forgive me for my rudeness."

"You think you can just dismiss us with a simple 'forgive us'?" Liu Fei raised his voice.

"What does the hero mean?" the Five-Colored Divine Lion asked cautiously.

"Give each of my brothers a piece of Heavenly Tree Jade, and we'll call it a day," Liu Fei said, tapping his bamboo pole.

Upon hearing this, the Five-Colored Divine Lion's face twitched, its eyes blazing with fury. It secretly tightened its grip on its broadsword, but after glancing at Zhang Jianyun, Liu Fei, and the Wolf King, all its fighting spirit vanished.

The five-colored divine lion silently took out two pieces of Heavenly Tree Jade from its bosom and threw them to Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei respectively. Then it turned around and ran desperately up the mountain.

Catching the Heavenly Tree Jade thrown by the Five-Colored Divine Lion, Zhang Jianyun exclaimed in surprise, "Liu Fei, you've got guts!"

"No problem, we might as well take advantage of these bamboo poles," Liu Fei laughed.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
