Chapter 331: Chapter 215: Demon Wolf

’So strong!’

Watching Fang Yue, the red-robed rebel leader was secretly alarmed, but he quickly calmed himself.

’This guy is indeed strong. His cultivation is a full major realm lower than mine, but his power is several times greater.’

’If it were a one-on-one fight, I would be no match for Fang Yue.’

’Fortunately, I only need to hold on for a moment.’

’He didn’t walk into our preset trap, but at this distance, it will only delay things by a quarter or half an hour.’

’So, as long as I hold out a little longer,’

’all I need to do is wait for the Holy Wolf to arrive as reinforcement.’

With this in mind, the red-robed rebel leader decided not to clash head-on with Fang Yue, planning to stall for time instead.

"Hmph!"

Seeing his opponent’s intention, Fang Yue let out a cold snort. He took another deep breath, his surging power erupting completely as he charged toward the rebel once more.

This time, Fang Yue unleashed his full strength. He wanted to see just what tricks this red-robed rebel had up his sleeve.

His speed suddenly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the red-robed rebel, bringing his longsword down with a vicious slash.

Seeing this, the red-robed rebel leader’s face twisted into a cold smile. With a flick of his longsword, he sent a brilliant beam of light stabbing toward Fang Yue.

CLANG!

The ear-piercing sound of metal striking metal rang out as the tip of the rebel’s sword met Fang Yue’s longsword.

A violent power instantly surged from Fang Yue’s longsword, rushing toward his opponent like a raging flood.

"How is this possible?!"

The red-robed rebel leader’s expression changed drastically as he stared at Fang Yue.

He could feel a vast power surging within his opponent’s body. That tyrannical force was so overwhelming that it stopped his longsword dead in its tracks,

and now it was bearing down on him with the force of a collapsing Divine Mountain or a crumbling celestial pillar!

CRACK!

Fang Yue’s longsword snapped the rebel’s blade in two!

Its momentum unbroken, Fang Yue’s longsword continued its downward arc toward the red-robed rebel.

At this sight, the red-robed rebel’s pupils contracted, and the sneer vanished from his face instantly.

’Flee!’

As the longsword grew closer, a look of pure terror appeared in the rebel leader’s eyes, and he hastily turned to run.

He knew that if Fang Yue’s strike landed, he would undoubtedly meet his end.

"You think you can run?"

Fang Yue sneered. With a sudden flick of his wrist, he sent his longsword slashing toward the fleeing red-robed rebel.

CLANG! The longsword pierced straight through the man’s shoulder. Blood sprayed out, dyeing his robes red.

"No... don’t!"

Fear filled the red-robed rebel’s eyes as he saw the longsword coming for him again.

Fang Yue didn’t stop. Instead, with a flick of his wrist, his longsword ran the man through the chest, carrying with it blood and shattered bone, and cut him clean in half at the waist.

"AHHH!!!"

Along with a final, blood-curdling scream, the red-robed rebel leader’s corpse fell from midair, tumbled to the ground, and broke into several bloody pieces upon impact.

Fang Yue showed no mercy. Gripping his longsword, he charged toward the other rebels.

Seeing this, the other rebels were scared out of their wits. Losing all courage to fight back, they scattered like a broken beehive, each one fleeing for their life without a thought for anyone else.

Meanwhile, Li Mengyao stood frozen in place, her beautiful eyes glued to Fang Yue, her face flushed with excitement.

Every time she saw Fang Yue kill opponents far above his level as easily as chopping vegetables, Li Mengyao’s heart would pound with excitement.

His fighting style, in particular, made her blood boil with exhilaration; she wished she could have him for herself right then and there.

However, at the same time, a question arose in Li Mengyao’s mind: ’Is the flesh of a Demon Dragon really that potent?!’

When Prince Wucheng slayed the dragon this time, he was ambushed by the court’s Tributor masters, so he couldn’t actually finish the job completely.

Although the Demon Dragon was killed, its flesh was severely damaged by the impact of the two masters’ powerful Primordial Qi, causing it to scatter and fall to the ground.

Besides, she had never heard of anyone under Prince Wucheng who had consumed the Demon Dragon’s flesh and gained such immense benefits.

’Perhaps this Fang Yue is just a peerless genius to begin with!’

Li Mengyao shook her head, sighing to herself.

"Let’s get out of here, no more delays!"

Just then, Fang Yue’s voice suddenly reached Li Mengyao’s ears, making her jump. She quickly snapped back to her senses and nodded. "Okay!"

And so, Li Mengyao followed behind Fang Yue, and they quickly left the area.

「Half an hour later.」

"How have we not gotten out yet? Based on the distance, we should have been out by now. Why are we still in the forest?"

Li Mengyao had followed Fang Yue, twisting and turning, until they reached a dense part of the woods. Her brows furrowed, and she couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

She remembered that, given how far they’d traveled, they should have already emerged from this mountain forest. How could they still be in these dense woods?

Moreover, the environment here was gloomy and eerily quiet, giving off a strange feeling that sent a chill down her spine.

Hearing this, Fang Yue also stopped, his gaze fixed on something in the distance.

A vicious aura was rapidly approaching from that direction. Faintly, he could hear what sounded like the wailing of ghosts, which made his brow twitch.

"Looks like we’ve run into trouble," Fang Yue muttered to himself.

’This change in our surroundings is probably the trap these rebels set up!’

"You, hide first! Don’t move, no matter what. Wait for me to come back for you," Fang Yue ordered in a low voice after a moment of contemplation.

"Oh!"

Hearing him, Li Mengyao nodded obediently.

Then she silently hid behind a nearby tree, her gaze fixed warily on the area outside, hoping she could find a way to help Fang Yue.
