Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"The demonic wolf is about to revive; all those with low cultivation levels, retreat!" Liu Yue issued the order.

This time, even the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect dared not stay in front.

Everyone back off!

Jiang Shi, Liu Yue, and Lin Yanyi stood in front.

Just like that day in the market where the three of them fought against the demonic wolf together.

This time, however, Lu Wenming was transformed from Jiang Shi.

"Manager Liu, the guards died here inexplicably. There might be something seriously wrong with the group behind us," Jiang Shi said to Manager Liu.

Demonic afflictions, mist, caves, mansions, statues—it seems as if an invisible hand is controlling everything behind these things.

"Take care of this demonic wolf first! Once we get through this crisis, we can make further plans," Liu Yue said in a deep voice.

The death of Liu's guards made Liu Yue very angry.

Many of these guards were trained by him personally.

They died here inexplicably, and the people behind them treated them like sacrificial offerings.

"Attack!" Liu Yue acted first, sending several vines through the ground to firmly bind the demon wolf's still-recovering body.

They couldn't wait for the wolf to recover before making their move.

Now, while the demon wolf is immobilized, strike first and take it down in one fell swoop.

This is Liu Yue's plan.

After trapping the demon wolf with vines, Liu Yue wasn't finished. Several more large trees sprouted around the demon wolf.

The tree seemed to come alive, trapping the demon wolf inside.

After doing all this, Liu Yue took out the mid-grade magic weapon Evergreen Bow, skillfully erased the spiritual energy imprint, and handed it to Lin Yanyi.

This bow can only unleash its full power in the hands of Lin Yanyi.

Of course, Jiang Shi can also use this bow. His technique, "Wood Generates Fire," was secretly learned from Lin Yanyi.

Although my skill level is not high enough, it is still incredibly powerful.

However, he cannot expose himself, and therefore cannot use the Evergreen Bow.

Lin Yanyi took the Evergreen Bow in her hand, and her aura changed instantly, transforming from icy coldness to aggressive heat.

All the wood-type spiritual energy was converted into fire-type spiritual energy.

Lin Yanyi gathered her strength and drew back the Evergreen Bow, a mid-grade magic weapon.

Pull and release!

Several flaming arrows shot out and collided with the tree that trapped the demon wolf, causing a violent explosion.

She combined her own wood-based magic power with the wood-based spiritual power generated by the Evergreen Bow.

In addition, Liu Yue used wood-based magic!

Lin Yanyi transformed all of these into fire-type spiritual energy.

All of these were bombarded onto the dire wolf.

No Qi Refining stage cultivator could withstand this attack!

As the firelight faded, a red light flashed out, and the demonic wolf, its body radiating a blood-red glow, strolled out with its gaping maw wide open.

"It's a Foundation Establishment stage demon wolf!" Liu Yue exclaimed in surprise.

If it were a Qi Refining stage demon wolf, it would have already been smashed into pieces.

The wolf is completely unharmed.

Jiang Shi became wary. The Foundation Establishment stage was worlds apart from the Qi Refining stage.

They are not comparable at all.

To achieve a comeback against a higher level, it's simply impossible to reverse the Foundation Establishment stage!

Even with Jiang Shi's high-grade second-rank spirit talisman, he could only trap him, not kill him.

"This demonic wolf might have a time limit, just like the centipede before. If we stall for time, we might be able to win!"

Jiang Shi said to Liu Yue and Lin Yanyi.

"In that case, let's trap it!" Liu Yue took out two second-grade low-level water lock talismans.

"You guys hold it back and create an opportunity for me," Liu Yue shouted.

The water lock talisman that Liu Yue had was sold to him by Jiang Shi before, along with several other mid-grade second-level water lock talismans.

Jiang Shi agreed to Liu Yue's words, as they had no chance of killing the Foundation Establishment stage demon wolf.

Even if this demonic wolf is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, they cannot kill it.

Trapping them without killing them, thus stalling for time, is the best option.

Jiang Shi held a fire feather fan, unleashing a burst of fire-elemental spiritual power, and repeatedly fanned out several walls of fire, trapping the demon wolf inside.

Just then! The demon wolf moved!

It smashed through the wall of fire with unstoppable force, and Jiang Shi's repeated fanning could not stop the demon wolf in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shi quickly retreated, as he was at a disadvantage in close combat.

As Jiang Shi retreated, he wondered whether he should use a talisman.

A low-grade magic weapon is completely ineffective against a Foundation Establishment stage demon wolf.

Jiang Shi stepped back, but Lin Yanyi remained where she was, not moving an inch.

Facing the Foundation Establishment stage demon wolf, Lin Yanyi held a bow in her left hand and a sword in her right.

Changqing Bow's wood-type spiritual power was converted into fire-type spiritual power and poured into the longsword in his right hand!

Because the wolf's legs were not fully prepared, its movements were slow, and Lin Yanyi dodged its attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yanyi stabbed the demon wolf in the abdomen with her sword.

A loud clang rang out!

A sword strike imbued with fire magic pierced through!

However, since the demon wolf was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Lin Yanyi's attacks could not harm it.

The wolf used its belly to block Lin Yanyi's attack, and while enduring the attack, it tried to counterattack Lin Yanyi.

If she were bitten, Lin Yanyi would probably die here.

Just then, Jiang Shi moved his fan again, emitting flames that helped Lin Yanyi withstand the wolf's bites.

Of course, it wouldn't last long; Jiang Shi's attack was merely giving Lin Yanyi a chance to retreat.

Lin Yanyi used her movement technique to retreat repeatedly, standing next to Jiang Shi.

"Give me the talisman!" Lin Yanyi shouted.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Yue handed over the second-grade lower-level water lock talisman to Lin Yanyi.

Having obtained the talisman, Lin Yanyi stepped forward again, but this time she did not attack.

The Evergreen Bow's wood-elemental spiritual power surged forth and flowed into Lin Yanyi's body. This time, Lin Yanyi no longer used the spell "Wood Generates Fire".

She also has a wood elemental root, so naturally she knows wood-based magic.

Wood-based magic has low attack power, but it excels at binding.

Various wood-based spells were frequently used to hinder the attacks and movements of the demonic wolf.

Although this would never be able to cause the slightest damage to the dire wolf.

However, it can effectively block the attacks of the demon wolves.

Jiang Shi and Liu Yue also joined the battle.

Following Lin Yanyi's example, the two of them also continuously used wood-based magic.

Especially Liu Yue, who specializes in wood-based magic, can cast some spells more quickly and powerfully than Lin Yanyi.

Gradually, Jiang Shi and Liu Yue found their rhythm and managed to stop the demon wolf.

If Liu Yue hadn't used spells so frequently, he wouldn't have exhausted his mana.

They can trap the demon wolf without needing talismans.

"I don't have much magic left!" Liu Yue shouted to the two of them.

Lin Yanyi stared at the demon wolf expressionlessly, ignoring Liu Yue's words.

She had even stopped, standing aside holding two low-grade second-rank water lock talismans.

Seeing this, Liu Yue gritted his teeth and persevered, trusting Lin Yanyi completely.

Even though his magical power was about to be exhausted, he still believed.

Lin Yanyi's desperate efforts to save those rogue cultivators were precisely the reason why Liu Yue trusted her so much!

"Get out of the way!"
