Undying Life

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Strange Behavior of the Fire Wolves

Tianling'er saw the pack of demonic wolves and knew things were not good. Though she wasn't afraid of these demonic wolves herself, Zhongshan wouldn't be able to withstand them. At most, Zhongshan could handle the lowest-level demonic wolves, but with so many here, there was no way they could survive.

Moreover, among them was the wolf king. Tianling'er glanced at it and, recalling what her father had told her before, immediately realized that it was at the peak of the innate realm, possessing formidable strength. Even she would have a hard time against it.

But she could fly, so she could just ascend into the sky and be safe. But what about Zhongshan? What would happen to him?

Terrified, Tianling'er swiftly flew towards Zhongshan's direction. Although she had been angry with Zhongshan, deep down, she didn't want him to get hurt or worse.

As she rushed towards Zhongshan, the powerful demonic wolves, with the strongest among them reaching the peak of the innate realm, jumped up, opening their mouths to pounce on Tianling'er.

Seeing the gaping maws approaching, Tianling'er quickly flew higher into the sky. However, by the time she evaded the attack, the other demonic wolves had already rushed to Zhongshan, blocking his escape route.

In mid-air, Tianling'er, seeing Zhongshan in danger, became anxious. With a flick of her sleeve, she struck the wolf king's face.

Unluckily for the wolf king, it couldn't maneuver in mid-air and was unable to dodge the attack. It was struck by the sleeve and only managed to breathe out a burst of flame in response.

The massive flame surged towards Tianling'er, who quickly dodged it. However, the delay caused by her evasion made it even longer for Zhongshan, making Tianling'er look at Zhongshan's position anxiously.

But when she saw the scene where Zhongshan was, Tianling'er was stunned.

Not only Tianling'er, but even the three people on the summit of the treacherous peak, members of the Mingjian Tower, were also stunned. What was going on?

They saw Zhongshan holding a large blade, glaring fiercely at the surrounding fire wolves. Every time a fire wolf approached, he immediately swung his blade at it. Despite more and more fire wolves encircling him, after they had surrounded Zhongshan, they slowly began to retreat.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the fire wolves stopped attacking Zhongshan simultaneously. They withdrew slowly, and their bloodthirsty eyes gradually turned calm.

Cold sweat trickled down Zhongshan's forehead as he brandished his blade, looking around in disbelief. How could this be? How could this be happening? Why weren't these wolves attacking anymore?

After giving up on Zhongshan, the wolves collectively rushed towards Tianling'er.

This was because Tianling'er had just struck the wolf king's face with her sleeve, humiliating it greatly. The enraged wolf king surged towards Tianling'er once again, followed by the other wolves.

Seeing the wolves surrounding her, Tianling'er, although puzzled, felt relieved about Zhongshan's safety. At least, Zhongshan wouldn't be attacked by the demonic wolves.

On the summit of the treacherous peak in the distance, Zhongdi kept muttering, "How could this be? How could this be?"

"Senior brother, what's going on? Why aren't those demonic wolves attacking Zhongshan?" Wang Gui asked Liu Ming.

"Ask Zhongdi." Liu Ming was also puzzled and looked at Zhongdi.

"I don't know. I really don't know. I don't understand him. I don't understand him enough." Zhongdi looked at Zhongshan with a fearful expression.

Tianling'er narrowly avoided being scorched by the flames spewed by the wolf king, rapidly ascending into the sky. At the same time, she turned her head towards the treacherous peak in the distance.

"It's them, it must be their doing."

With a face full of anger, Tianling'er flicked her sleeve and flew towards the treacherous peak.

"Ling'er, don't go. Come back!" Zhongshan roared angrily.

However, at this moment, after ensuring Zhongshan's safety, Tianling'er's anger towards Zhongshan seemed to surge again. How could she listen to Zhongshan? She swiftly rushed towards the treacherous peak.

Seeing the disobedient Tianling'er, Zhongshan felt a headache and sighed, quickly leaping towards the distant peak.

Tianling'er flew ahead, followed by the demonic wolves chasing behind, while Zhongshan swiftly ran towards the distance.

Zhongshan discerned the direction Tianling'er was heading and naturally chose the fastest route, although it took a detour. However, this route avoided some time-consuming uphill and downhill climbs between the two mountains.

The demonic wolves, of course, were unaware of this. They simply followed Tianling'er blindly, wasting a lot of time as they went up and down the mountainside.

Soon, Tianling'er reached the treacherous peak and engaged in a battle with Liu Ming and Wang Gui, brandishing her red silk.

When Zhongshan arrived, he witnessed a thrilling scene. Tianling'er's red silk had been pierced by Liu Ming's sword, leaving a hole. The silk was damaged? What a loss! At this moment, the demonic wolves also arrived. They all stared at Tianling'er as if they wanted to tear her apart completely.

Seeing this, Zhongshan's heart tightened. Without hesitating, he quickly jumped between Tianling'er and the wolves, pointing his blade at them.

It was a treacherous peak with a massive stone platform above. Tianling'er was fighting on the other side's edge, while Zhongshan stood behind her, facing the demonic wolves.

Tianling'er had no time to deal with the demonic wolves. At this moment, she seemed to want to quickly defeat her two opponents. The other two were both at the ninth level of the innate realm, although their techniques were not as advanced as Tianling'er's. Nevertheless, they still possessed formidable strength. With two against one, could Tianling'er win? Gradually, Tianling'er found herself in a disadvantaged position.

Zhongshan pointed his blade at the demonic wolves, feeling worried. However, he remembered the scene from before.

Although he didn't know why the wolves weren't attacking him, at this moment, he could only take a gamble.

Sure enough, when the demonic wolves saw Zhongshan, they suddenly stopped. The wolf king led them, its eyes flickering uncertainly. It looked at Zhongshan with a face full of resentment, then glanced at Tianling'er before reluctantly turning away.

But as it looked at Zhongshan with angry eyes, the wolf king suddenly let out two howls.

Then, it turned around and led the demonic wolves down the mountain.

They left!

They left? Zhongshan watched this scene in confusion. Why weren't the demonic wolves attacking him? No, it seemed like they didn't even want to harm him. What was going on? What had happened?

Just as Zhongshan was puzzled, suddenly, every hair on his body stood on end.

Danger! Extreme danger.

A swooshing sound came from his right.

Clang!

With a loud impact, Zhongshan's figure fell towards the edge of the boulder.

Terrified, he stood still, looking at the person who had attacked him.

"Traitor!" Zhongshan said coldly.

Seeing Zhongshan dodge, Zhongdi's heart trembled. His eyes flickered as he looked at Zhongshan, then he raised his sword, trembling, and said, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault. Blame yourself, you're too terrifying!"

"Hmph," Zhongshan snorted angrily.

"Ahhhh!"

Suddenly, a tragic cry came from afar.

Hearing this, Zhongshan was shocked. He turned his head and saw Tianling'er's red silk, now riddled with holes. Her right leg had been cut by Liu Ming's long sword.

This was bad!

Zhongshan's heart trembled. He had to move quickly, break free from Zhongdi's entanglement, and carry Tianling'er away. With his chasing wind boots, they should be able to escape!

Demon body tempered by celestial demons!

"Roar!"

Zhongshan erupted suddenly, fiercely slashing towards Zhongdi.

Seeing this slash, Zhongdi suddenly remembered Tang Xiaoyou from before. His heart pounded, and he quickly retreated, letting go of his long sword.

"Clang!"

Zhongdi's long sword was split in half by Zhongshan's strike. Before Zhongshan could target Zhongdi, he was already rushing towards Tianling'er.

Just as Zhongshan was about to reach Tianling'er, she suddenly took out a white jade-like object, a square-shaped talisman with a fiery red phoenix engraved on one side. It was a life-saving talisman given to Tianling'er by Tianxingzi when she first emerged. A jade talisman.

Tianling'er squeezed the talisman in her hand when she was injured in the leg.

"Hummmmm!"

A phoenix cry rang out from the shattered talisman, and suddenly, a giant phoenix, five meters long, emerged from it.

As the fire phoenix appeared, it brought forth towering flames, instantly subduing everyone, including Tianling'er herself. This was her first time using such a talisman.

The fire phoenix, without any instructions, danced in the air.

Liu Ming and Wang Gui quickly reacted, recognizing the situation and immediately attacking Tianling'er.

Feeling the threat, Tianling'er panicked and pressed her right hand downwards.

The massive fire phoenix plunged straight down towards Liu Ming and Wang Gui, as if it intended to crush them to death.

The two of them quickly jumped to the sides.

"Boom!"

The fire phoenix crashed to the ground. With a loud noise, the large stone below shattered completely.

It's worth noting that this was a huge boulder suspended in the air. As it shattered, it quickly fell towards the gorge below.

Zhongdi, who was preparing to ambush Zhongshan, suddenly lost his footing and fell rapidly downwards.

The ground where Liu Ming and Wang Gui landed also shattered, and they fell down together.

"Ahhhh!"

Three consecutive screams echoed as they plummeted into the gorge.

As for Zhongshan, standing in the middle of the two groups, he couldn't escape either and fell down with them.

But just as Zhongshan was horrified, suddenly, a red silk rope tied around his waist, stopping his fall.

It was Tianling'er. She grabbed the center of the red silk, which was full of holes, with one hand and held Zhongshan with the other. At the other end, the silk was tied to a boulder above. Fear was written all over her face.

It was no good. The stone that was tied up was shaking. It was about to fall.
