Chapter 236 – Beheading the Wolf King, Treasure of Substitute Death

Chapter 236 – Beheading the Wolf King, Treasure of Alternate Death
“Not bad.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“That is to use your body as bait.

At that time, my wife and I will go out in formation together to deal with those third-stage demonic beasts.

I just don’t believe that it, the Fushan Wolf King, will still be able to sit still.”

Indeed, with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s strength, once they were allowed to charge into the midst of the third-order demonic beasts, those third-order demonic beasts would, I’m afraid, find it difficult to hold them back.

Even if they could hold them back, they could even pose a certain threat to the couple under a combined siege.

But still, with their strength, if they wanted to leave at that time, with a group of third-order demonic beasts, they would definitely not be able to stop them.

The only one that could pose a threat to them, or even pose a fatal threat, was the Fushan Wolf King.

But what they wanted was this effect.

As long as the Fushan Wolf King couldn’t help but strike against them, at that time, it would inevitably board the frontline itself.

At that time, if Gu Yuefeng could seize the opportunity to strike a fatal blow against the Fushan Wolf King.

Then there would be a high possibility that this Fourth Order Demon King, who was entrenched here and was the biggest threat to their Gu Yuan City, would have a great chance of drinking his heart out.

Even if it managed to stay alive at that time, under the attack of Gu Yuefeng, a sword cultivator, it would definitely be seriously injured.

As such, its threat level to their Gu Yuan City would still be greatly reduced.

Moreover, even if something unexpected that they hadn’t anticipated did occur during the process, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not without the ability to defend themselves.

After all, in their hands, there was still the Random Void Shuttling Array Plate.

With this, it was enough to deal with any sudden changes.

At this moment, when the crowd heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words, they couldn’t help but all secretly nodded in their hearts.

Indeed.

Given the current situation, adopting this method that Jiang Chengxuan had said was indeed the optimal solution.

It was also the one with the greatest success rate.

The only problem was that the possible risks involved would be a bit high.

Jiang Rendao couldn’t help but feel a little worried in his eyes.

Hua Mengyue’s expression was also slightly hesitant.

On the contrary, it was Gu Yuefeng, whose expression remained as calm as ever.

He looked towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and thought for a moment:
“What do you guys want?”

Obviously, Gu Yuefeng knew very well that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were willing to take the initiative to risk their lives, so they must have something else to ask for.

Otherwise, there was no need for them to do that at all.

The truth was also true.

Just then, he heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “To be honest, if afterward, we can be fortunate enough to actually behead that Fushan Wolf King, then I hope that some of the materials on the other party’s body can be picked by us first.

I wonder what senior Gu thinks?”

One must know that a fourth-ranked Demon King, almost all of its body was treasure.

Take this Fushan Wolf King for example.

The fur on its body can be used to refine protective magic treasures.

Its sharp claws, teeth, can also be used to refine the attack type of magic treasure.

Even its bones, flesh and blood, can also be used to medicine, and even refine some special properties of the magic treasure.

In addition, its fourth-order demonic pills are the main material for refining Jiejindan and Zhenzhendan.

Of course, the main reason that really prompted Jiang Chengxuan to have this idea was that he wanted to take advantage of this matter to see if he could have the opportunity to personally end that Fushan Wolf King’s life.

If that was possible, then that system quest of his would also be able to take the opportunity to complete it.

I’m sure that the rewards at that time shouldn’t be bad.

For this request made by Jiang Chengxuan right now, Gu Yuefeng didn’t reject it.

Then he saw him nod and said, “May.”

Following that, the few people had a general discussion about some of the details that might need to be taken care of.

When it was about time, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, without doing too much hesitation, both arrived outside of Gu Yuan City.

Being a third-order top-grade demonic beast, the Swallowing Moon Silver Wolf driven, desperately attacked the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation of several third-order lower-grade and third-order middle-grade demonic beasts, suddenly saw the appearance of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, could not help but be slightly stunned.

Obviously, these demonic beasts did not expect, no matter what, that the people within Ancient Yuan City would leave the Great Formation they were in and appear in front of them.

“Roar!”

However, before these Third Order Lower Grade and Third Order Middle Grade demonic beasts could react in any way, the Third Order Upper Grade Swallowing Moon Silver Wolf, hissed in terror, and without saying a word, turned its head and ran.

It was aware that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were powerful.

Back then, it was the two of them who had killed the pseudo-fourth rank demonic beasts, the Blade Golden Eagle and the Ironback Demon Bear.

It didn’t have the slightest confidence that it would be able to block these two.

Only, its reaction was fast, but Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s attacks were even faster.

Along with the simultaneous appearance of the two sword lights.

The Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf swept forward just a hundred meters, and its huge wolf body was abruptly fixed in the air.

On its body, two sword marks spread out in an instant.

Accompanied by a clattering sound, the entire body of the Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf was split into three pieces on the spot, falling towards the bottom.

This scene immediately stunned all the demonic beasts present.

What was the difference between a third-order top-grade demonic beast, the Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf, that couldn’t block a single blow from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and a mole cricket on the side of the road?

If the Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf was already like this, then wouldn’t it be even more dangerous for them, who were far inferior to the Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf, to face the duo?
Escape, escape, escape!
Almost in an instant, these demonic beasts present all had this thought emerge in their hearts.

However, before their thoughts could be realized, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had already struck again.

In an instant, sword light and thunder intertwined.

In just a few moments, six or seven third-rank demonic beasts perished under the couple.

When the other third rank demonic beasts saw this, not to mention coming together to surround the duo, each of them even hated that they didn’t have two more legs.

The truth was that the strength of the two of them had already exceeded the normal third-order category.

Every strike was a fatal threat to these third-order demonic beasts.

Under such circumstances, what else could they do if they didn’t flee?
It was only this scene that caused the eyes of the Fushan Wolf King, who was located at the back of the crowd of demons, to sink violently.

Then, he heard its mouth violently let out a heaven-shaking roar.

A pressure that belonged solely to the Jindan level rumbled towards those demonic beasts that were fleeing backwards.

“Whoever dares to escape again will be granted death immediately!”

Accompanied by the words, hundreds of thousands of low-rank demonic beasts that were fleeing along with a group of third-rank demonic beasts suddenly burst into pieces in unison, transforming into a sky of blood mist.

This instantly caused the hearts of the third-rank demonic beasts that were fleeing backward to chill violently.

At that moment, they all stopped in unison and looked towards the Fushan Wolf King with a terrified expression.

“What? Do you want this king to say the same words a second time?”

The Fushan Wolf King once again spoke coldly.

And as its words fell, the crowd of demonic beasts also reacted instantly, and immediately began to return towards the direction of Ancient Yuan City.

At the same time, a great pressure filled with killing intent suddenly descended on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“Humans, this time, you guys have really angered this king.”

Along with the words, the silhouette of the Fushan Wolf King suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

The couple’s pupils suddenly contracted violently.

At this moment, they truly detected a great threat.

The extent of it was simply not comparable to the Pang Baiyan from before.

“Die!”

Suddenly, a red light violently erupted from the mouth of the Fushan Wolf King.

That red light rose against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a wolf-head blood-colored saber that was nearly a hundred feet long, and slashed down violently towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan!

Not good!

Jiang Chengxuan’s spiritual sense frantically signaled an alarm.

He didn’t have any hesitation.

The Peerless Wheel Turn erupted with full force.

The Avatar Dragon Elephant Power was even unreservedly unleashed.

Wow…

In an instant, he changed from his original normal human size to nearly twenty meters tall at once.

The Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd in his hand brought up an ear-piercing whistling in mid-air, and met the falling wolf head blood-colored greatsword, then slashed straight over.

At the same time, Shen Ruyan’s petite body was suddenly a flash of lightning.

Her entire person, at this moment, had transformed into a body of thunder.

It was precisely her Dao Body Avatar, the Thunder Spirit True Body.

Rumble!
It was seen that in the sky, a streak of thunder continuously fell down, and then it quickly struck at that wolf-headed blood-colored greatsword.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

A series of explosions suddenly rang out in the air.

Terrifying waves of air suddenly spread wildly in all directions with the center of the collision between the two sides as the circle.

Some demonic beasts that were unable to react were swept by the aftermath of this air wave, and their bodies immediately dissipated like weathered rocks.

In the midair, there was an ever-distorting red, silver, and yellow light cluster.

Then that light cluster exploded.

Two figures immediately flew out backwards from it.

It was Jiang Chengxuan, who was holding the Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd, and Shen Ruyan, who was in the true form of a Thunder Spirit.

Both of their bodies, to a greater or lesser extent, had suffered some minor injuries.

Only the Fushan Wolf King, whose figure was still standing upright in mid-air, with a grandiose aura, did not appear to have suffered any injuries at all.

The killing chance in its eyes flashed violently.

Just as it was about to launch its next round of attacks on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly appeared within its senses.

This caused its heart to jump fiercely for no reason.

At that moment, it couldn’t care less about dealing with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the fourth-order magic treasure wolf head blood-colored long knife, violently returned to its body.

But it was at this moment that only a ding was heard.

On top of the wolf head blood-colored longsword that it had just retracted, extremely dazzling sparks violently splashed up.

A force that even it could not resist instantly passed through the wolf head blood-colored long sword and descended on its body, causing its entire body to violently fly backwards.

Only a series of booms were heard.

Several large mountains were instantly smashed through by the Blessed Mountain Wolf King’s body.

In the sky, a huge plume of smoke and dust filled the sky one after another.

A look of shock could not help but show in everyone’s eyes.

Poof!
It was at the same time.

A flash of domineering and powerful sword light violently swept over the body of the Fushan Wolf King, instantly chopping its body, into two sections.

“Ah!”

A miserable scream of the Fushan Wolf King suddenly came out from the air.

Immediately afterward, it looked as if it understood something, and its voice suddenly became incomparably terrified as it said:
“Undefeated Sword Gu Yuefeng!
You’re the Bishui Sword Pavilion’s Gu Yuefeng!”

What answered it was a sword light that was even more domineering and more severe than before.

There was a giggling sound.

The expression on the face of the Fushan Wolf King, who was continuing to frantically escape with half of its body, suddenly froze.

Immediately afterward, a line of blood suddenly appeared on its head.

That line of blood extended all the way down.

Soon there was a clattering sound.

Half a section of its body was just straightly dissected into two halves!

It was not until this moment that Gu Yuefeng’s figure slowly emerged in the eyes of the crowd.

However, his face did not have the slightest expression of relief that he had killed the Fushan Wolf King.

Everything was only because, this demon’s aura, did not disappear as a result.

It had merely slipped by a large margin.

This situation was very wrong.

Buzz!
At the same time, a strange fluctuation was clearly appearing several miles away.

The crowd instantly turned their heads to look.

They saw that the Fushan Wolf King, which had originally had its physical body decimated by Gu Yuefeng, had actually reappeared!
And on its body, there was not the slightest trace of any injuries that could be seen.

Only from the fluctuation of its breath, it could only be judged that at this moment, it wasn’t in too good of a state.

What’s going on here?

Everyone froze.

Obviously just now, Gu Yuefeng had already decimated the physical body of that Fushan Wolf King.

This, whether it was Jiang Chengxuan or Shen Ruyan, or any of the other Purple Mansion cultivators, could all confirm this.

Yet now, how could it still be alive and well?

“A treasure of substitute death, it has a treasure of substitute death on it!”

Suddenly, Shen Ruyan seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but mutter out.

Hearing her words, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes on the side just stared.

On the other side, Gu Yuefeng, his face also took on a look of gravity.

Obviously, they all knew that the treasure of substitution for death that Shen Ruyan had mentioned here, what exactly was that thing and what did it mean.

Simply put, it was something that could replace you and endure a death calamity.

Of course, this kind of substitution, is not without an upper limit.

The general range is within the same realm.

If a Yuan Ying True Lord wanted to kill you with all his might.

Then even this kind of death substitute treasure would not be able to do anything at all.

Unless the level of the treasure of death is comparable to the level of a YuanYing, then perhaps there is still a slight possibility of survival.

The only thing I can say is that there is a slight chance of survival.

After all, the gap between absolute great realms was by no means something that ordinary people could imagine.

Especially the leap from a realm like Jindan to Yuanying, that could be considered the difference between heaven and earth.

Of course.

This was not even the most important.

The most important thing was that the person who could possess this kind of substitute for death treasure would definitely have a big backer behind him.

If they were not good enough, they could be at the YuanYing level of power.

In other words, behind that Fushan Wolf King, there was a high possibility that there was the shadow of a fifth-order Demon Emperor.

Damn it, how could this demon be related to a Fifth Order Demon Emperor?

The faces of the people of Hua Mengyue, who were located within the Ancient Yuan City, could not help but become extremely ugly.

Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Gu Yuefeng couldn’t help but also glance at each other.

From each other’s eyes, they all saw a trace of gravity.

Obviously, they all realized the seriousness of the problem as well.

However, now that the matter had come to this, they could never let this demon go again, no matter from which angle they considered it.

Today, no matter what, this demon must be left behind!

With this in mind, Gu Yuefeng’s eyes suddenly flashed with a stern and extremely sharp aura.

The whole person even transformed into a brilliant sword light, with the might of destroying everything, once again towards the Fushan Wolf King that was attempting to escape!
