The Great Wild God - Chapter 139
Chapter 139 Clouds Of Doubt
In front of the Spiritual Light Defense Shield, hundreds or even thousands of green wolves had died. To a large pack of wolves, this was nothing at all.
Once the defensive barrier was torn apart, nearly a thousand people in the deep gorge would be forced to fight against tens of thousands of green wolves that had poured into the gorge. The casualties would be unimaginable.
Even though the disciples of the Academy either had defensive talismans or wore extremely powerful profound armor, how long could they endure the bite of several or even dozens of green wolves, even if they were at the third level of the Diamond Talisman Armor?
Even if one person could kill ten or twenty times the number of Green Wolves, facing tens of thousands of wolves, how could the thousands of people in the deep gorge escape?
Under the control of that divine wolf, tens of thousands of green wolves were no longer low-level desolate beasts that were being slaughtered by others, as if they were a group of powerful masters with strict orders and evidence to advance and retreat.
In comparison, the disciples of the Academy who had been trapped in this deep gorge for countless days, even if there were a dozen experts at or above the Reincarnation Realm guarding them, still looked extremely weak.
Just as Chen Xun was worried that the defensive array would not last, a black roc soared into the air from within the defensive array.
Su Qingfeng held a huge sword in his hand and stood proudly on the back of the black roc. Dressed in green armor, he took advantage of the black roc’s dive towards the pack of wolves to slash out dazzling sword lights that were twenty to thirty feet long. They were like giant iron ploughs that plowed through the pack of wolves in front of the canyon entrance again and again. In an instant, hundreds of green wolves were slashed down by him. Their flesh and blood were blurred, and their bones were shattered into mingled with the lied rocks.
Before a giant golden wolf could escape, it was also cut in half by Su Qingfeng’s sword light.
Standing on the back of the black roc at the same time as Su Qingfeng was Jiang Bingyun, who was dressed in a azure dress.
She took out a magical artifact shaped like an emerald green jade ring. The spiritual energy in the middle of the jade ring was sucked in, releasing black clouds that instantly enveloped the ground. Suddenly, hundreds of icicles fiercely stabbed out from the black clouds, killing the green wolves that had barely managed to survive Su Qingfeng’s sword, but did not withdraw from the canyon entrance.
The power of a peak mid-Reincarnation Realm expert was completely unleashed in front of Su Qingfeng’s dozen sword lights and Jiang Bingyun’s icicle black clouds.
The morale of the disciples of the Academy within the defensive spell formation instantly rose. As the defensive spell formation expanded out of the canyon, they also attacked outwards, activating the spell formation like a rainbow to kill one green wolf after another.
At the same time, someone also picked up the wolf corpses on the ground and retreated into the deep gorge to replenish the huge amount of wolf corpses that had been consumed over the past few days.
Seeing this, Chen Xun was even more worried.
Seeing that the disciples of the Academy had even picked up the broken wolf corpses mixed with mud and blood, it could be seen that they were trapped in the deep gorge and had reached the point of running out of food.
If it weren’t for the fact that the special terrain of the deep gorge could minimize the defensive surface of the defensive array, the remaining disciples and loose cultivators of the Academy would have been torn into pieces by the pack of wolves long ago.
Su Qingfeng and Jiang Bingyun stood together on the back of the black roc. They were truly extraordinary heroes, but they soon saw several black shadows flying out from the dense forest behind the pack of wolves. They were several owls that were 17 to 18 meters wide with their wings spread out.
Two smaller exotic beasts jumped up from the pack of wolves. They were nearly two hundred meters tall in the sky and jumped onto the back of the giant owl. They actually rode the giant owl towards Su Qingfeng and Jiang Bingyun.
These two exotic beasts were small, similar to ordinary green wolves, but they had a ferocious monkey head on their necks, long white fur growing on both sides of their cheeks, half covering their golden eyes.
These two beasts were also exotic beasts that had killed the Snow Ape together with the Divine Wolf. Their bloodlines were pure, and they were even several notches better than the Profound Leopard and the Green Wolf, and they weren’t any weaker than the Sly Beast.
However, three years ago, when Chen Xun saw these two beasts, it was obvious that they weren’t as handsome and brave as they were now.
Apart from its enormous size, the giant owl’s strength was inferior to that of the Scaled Vulture. Under Su Qingfeng’s sword light, the two giant owls instantly turned into two balls of flesh and blood that scattered from mid-air.
However, the two beasts only borrowed the giant owl to bring them into the air.
Su Qingfeng’s sword light slashed down on the giant owls, but it was difficult to injure them at all. He saw them pouncing down from midair towards the Black Roc fiercely.
Su Qingfeng waved his sword again and slashed at a beast.
Su Qingfeng’s sword light was so sharp that not a single Reincarnation Realm expert in Cang Lan dared to block his direct attack.
However, the bronze-headed iron bones on the beast’s entire body did not back down from the sword light. A burst of carbide flames flashed in the air, and the sword light chopped the beast into endless tumbles in mid-air, but it failed to injure its roots.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xun was extremely shocked.
Humans were far inferior to these wild mutants in terms of bloodline and innate talent if they wanted to walk the path of cultivation of becoming a saint of the flesh.
At the same time, Chen Xun was also convinced that the bloodline of that evil ape should have been divided between the divine wolf and the other eight exotic beasts. Otherwise, the divine wolf and the eight exotic beasts would not be this strong in three years.
It seemed that Mystical Frost Sect and the Azure Water College wanted to kill the green wolves around Jade Pillar Peak so that they could explore the secrets of the Lonemoon Cliff Stone Pillar. On the other hand, didn’t the Divine Wolves and the eight exotic beasts want to lure thousands of rogue cultivators, disciples and experts of the two sects into Jade Pillar Peak and have a good meal?
Su Qingfeng’s divine sword could only force a beast away, not injure its roots. Jiang Bingyun instantly released dozens of icicles, wanting to assassinate another beast, it seemed even more reluctant.
The beast forcefully resisted the assassination of dozens of enormous icicles. Its body did not slow down at all. Instead, it changed into a strange arc in mid-air and fiercely bit at the Black Roc’s neck.
The black roc wasn’t weak either. Its body sank several zhang in an instant, separating from Su Qingfeng and Jiang Bingyun for a short time. It flipped its abdomen and revealed its iron claws, grabbing towards the abdomen of the beast.
As for the other beast that was forced back by Su Qingfeng’s sword light, before it landed on the ground, it stepped on another giant owl and pounced fiercely.
At close range, when fighting with Black Roc, Su Qingfeng, and Jiang Bingyun, although the two beasts no longer had the power to borrow from the giant owls, they could borrow the power of the fierce air currents to soar into the sky and never fall from the sky.
This scene caused the disciples of the Academy at the entrance of the gorge to be stunned, and Chen Xun, who had sneaked into the mountainside of Jade Pillar Peak, to be stunned.
Chen Xun had created the Thirteen Bloody Battle Styles, and he thought that he would gradually gain the essence of martial arts. However, looking at the melee combat techniques displayed by the two beasts in midair, Chen Xun knew that he was still a frog in a well, and he was instantly stunned.
Although the Academy still had experts in the defensive array, four other exotic beasts were slowly approaching the canyon entrance from the ridge on both sides.
From behind the pack of wolves, an enormous strange bird soared into the air. The divine wolf that was shining under the morning sun slowly approached the array on a strange bird.
Chen Xun also understood why Su Qingfeng, Jiang Bingyun, and the others hadn’t abandoned the disciples of the Academy and left.
Apart from cherishing their reputation and feathers, perhaps the main reason was that the divine wolves and eight exotic beasts were able to fly into the air and fight them fiercely by borrowing the power of the exotic beasts.
Su Qingfeng had a Black Roc mount, so it was better.
Although Su Lingyin and the others could fly under Qi, once they were entangled by divine wolves and other exotic beasts, they would fall to the ground and fall into an endless pack of wolves.
After they were left alone, they might not be able to escape from the wilderness smoothly. It would be better to defend the Stone Gorge with all the disciples and wait for reinforcements.
After a long and fruitless battle, Su Qingfeng and Jiang Bingyun were forced to bring the scarred Black Roc back into the defensive array.
Su Qingfeng retreated into the defensive array. The divine wolf and the eight exotic beasts no longer attacked. They were also afraid that they would be exposed to the wolves, so that the experts in the defensive array would have a chance to kill them together.
Obviously, even though the beast’s body was strong, Su Qingfeng and the others, who were all in the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm, would definitely die if they used magic tools to kill it.
After the experts on both sides retreated into the formation, the battle situation returned to the first battle of attrition.
Soon, more than a thousand green wolves formed a wave of attacks and entered the canyon entrance. They did not know how to stop their attacks on the defensive formation.
*******************
Halfway up the mountain peak, Chen Xun was less than ten miles away from the canyon entrance, and there were only a few dense forests between them.
Through the Soul Chasing Seal, Chen Xun could feel the aura of hundreds of exotic beasts in these dense forests. Obviously, regardless of whether it was his intention to sneak into the deep gorge to meet Su Qingfeng and the others, or if there were people in the deep gorge who wanted to break out of the encirclement quietly, they would be mercilessly slaughtered by the pack of wolves.
With Chen Xun’s current strength, there was no pressure to fight against ten ordinary green wolves alone. However, if one of the ten green wolves had a golden giant wolf, he would have to flee into the wilderness.
The speed at which the pack of wolves chased after them in the wilderness was clearly no slower than the speed at which rogue cultivators used the Wind Riding Technique.
Chen Xun didn’t dare to act rashly. He hid for a day and night to see the battle situation in the deep gorge. He knew that Su Qingfeng and the others had been trapped in the Jade Pillar Peak for several days. The Academy camp should have been destroyed by the Blue Wolf before that.
Since a small number of people had fled to Tianma Lake, the news that Su Qingfeng and the others were trapped should have been spread back to Canglan City. Why hadn’t reinforcements from Canglan College arrived yet?
Could it be that someone maliciously blocked the news and deliberately watched Su Qingfeng and the others die in the deep gorge of Jade Pillar Peak?
Thinking about it, this possibility was extremely low.
Three years ago, a once-in-a-decade cold wave swept across the Azure Water Lands. Even a large number of desolate beasts ran out from the depths of Mount Tu to attack Azure Water City. As a result, Su Tang and he were trapped in the Lake Wasteland. The Azure Water College could not spare any manpower to search and rescue them.
Moreover, Su Tang’s goal alone was too small.
Right now, there shouldn’t be any accidents in Azure Water City. Su Qingfeng and the others haven’t contacted Azure Water College for many days. Even if it was just for the sake of safety, the Azure Water College should send people over to take a look. It’s very difficult to seal off the news.
Chen Xun could easily understand that the Azure Water School would not care about the lives of disciples of the Azure Yang Realm. However, the dozen or so Reincarnation Realm experts trapped in the Deep Gorge were definitely not powers that the Su Clan and the Azure Water School would easily give up, and their combined weight was much heavier than Su Tang’s.
In the current situation, as long as a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Origin Realm was present in the Azure Water School, they would not be able to reverse their disadvantage immediately. However, they could at least change the current situation and not allow Su Qingfeng and the others to be beaten passively.
Or could it be that the Supreme Elder of the Azure Water School had already sent him out long ago, and that this Supreme Elder was already with Su Qingfeng and the others, so he was only intentionally preserving his strength to show that his enemy was weak?
Chen Xun thought about it, but the last possibility was even higher …
