Chapter 7: The Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves

Although the demon wolf packs were fearless, they still possessed their own wisdom. Seeing that the five members of the Tiger Might Adventurers Group could slay wolves like grass and continuously replenish their magical energy, no matter how many demon wolves there were, they likely couldn’t exhaust them. What troubled the wolf pack leaders the most was that Long Hu Wei had already achieved a higher level of cultivation due to this battle, and the other four seemed on the verge of reaching the same level as well.

To preserve those demon wolves at the lower Human Soul Demon level, the wolf pack leaders naturally couldn’t let the weaker ones charge forward and die. At this moment, the demon wolves at the higher Human Soul Demon level rushed out fiercely—numbering no less than ten thousand—forming rows and waiting for orders from their leaders at the Earth Soul Demon level, who were hiding in the background.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
From the underground wolf den, three loud howls echoed, shaking hearts and souls.

“Get ready, the demon wolves are attacking,” Qu Yi said with a smile upon hearing those howls.

Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Tu Zun, Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong all smiled happily, showing no fear at the danger posed by these demon wolves.

The demon wolves, already lined up, rushed forward at the sound of the three howls. With fierce roars, they leaped at Qu Yi and his group at the entrance of the den.

Qu Yi drew out a crystal-blue long sword of the Earth Soul Immortal level—Wu Xi Sword, the original immortal weapon of Zhu Li, the deceased Earth Soul Immortal Zhu Yanxing. Since Zhu Li was pursued by Yu Wen Tianlan and later killed by Qu Yi, he took this sword as well.

“Kill them,” Qu Yi said lazily before wielding Wu Xi Sword.

As a Water Attribute Immortal Weapon, Wu Xi Sword moved like rain and waves, striking the demon wolves repeatedly.

Within Qu Yi’s body, chaotic energy could be transformed into Water Attribute Immortal Energy at will, allowing him to fully unleash the sword’s power.

The demon wolves, though sharp-witted, sensed the seven members of the True Hero Adventurers Group. They found Qu Yi’s energy fluctuations to be the weakest, almost like those of an ordinary person, so most of them rushed at him, hoping to devour him first.

Only after being struck by those “raindrops,” did the demon wolves realize what regret, ignorance, and powerlessness meant.

The immortal energy spells emitted by Qu Yi penetrated their bodies differently from others—they seeped inward, destroying the wolves layer by layer, leaving them unable even to use their magical energy to defend themselves.

The thousands of demon wolves rushing at Qu Yi were effortlessly killed by the Wu Xi Sword he swung with ease, leaving even the demon wolf leaders at the level of Earth Soul Demons hidden deep in their lairs confused as to what was happening. Qu Yi remained in one place, using only his Wu Xi Sword to wipe out these waves of demon wolves completely. The other few also faced no difficulties. Jin Zun, without hesitation, took out his mid-tier immortal weapon, the Shang Jin Sword, and darted like an arrow straight into the swarm of demon wolves. Utilizing his Speed of Purity, Jin Zun became an afterimage, allowing him to strike with his sword just as the demon wolves failed to grab him, cutting them in half one after another. Mu Zun seemed to be demonstrating his Speed of Life—suddenly disappearing, only for hundreds of demon wolves to explode and die in certain areas before he reappeared and vanished again. The key to Speed of Life was its suddenness, which Mu Zun executed perfectly. Tu Zun unleashed his Subterranean Shuttle, his body moving like an afterimage as he rolled into the swarm of demon wolves like rolling boulders. Using his fists as weapons, he emitted bursts of immortal energy imbued with the power of transformation, turning the demon wolves into mud before they could react. The Subterranean Shuttle, being a mid-tier immortal weapon equivalent to a high-tier Earth Soul Demon weapon, was so sharp that these high-tier Human Soul Demon level demon wolves could not resist it. Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong also wielded their immortal weapons, gathering together to resist the attacks of the demon wolves. At this point, they did not reveal their defensive armor and still displayed the strength of high-tier Human Soul Demons, struggling to kill the demon wolves. As a result, the number of demon wolves killed by Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong combined was less than a fraction of what any one of Qu Yi’s group had killed. “Brother Qu Yi, we can’t stay idle—we must join this battle too.” Suddenly, Long Hu Wei, who had rested for less than fifteen minutes, called together the other four members of the Hu Wei Adventurers Group to attack the demon wolves again. The people of the Demon Realm, unable to watch the battle from afar, could only join the fight to satisfy their urge to fight. However, these five knew their limits and did not dare fight alone as before; instead, they gathered together to resist the attacks of those high-tier Human Soul Demon level demon wolves. The battle intensified. Qu Yi, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun acted like wolf-killing machines—wherever they passed, the demon wolves had no chance of survival and turned into pools of blood.

Ten thousand demon wolves at the Upper Human Soul Demon level—after a short while, only five thousand remained.
Ugh!
Deep within the wolf den, those wolf leaders at the Earth Soul Demon level realized that the strength of these people was beyond what their own forces could resist, so they immediately signaled their troops to retreat.
The remaining five thousand demon wolves, with fearful expressions, fled back into the den.
Qu Yi didn’t chase after them and turned to the others.
“Guys, these demon wolves are only at the Upper Human Soul Demon level—killing them isn’t satisfying enough. In a bit, those Earth Soul Demon level wolves will surely come out to attack us. Let’s keep killing them,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun all smiled. With their cultivation at the one-star Earth Soul Immortal level, killing these demon wolves at the Upper Human Soul Demon level indeed wasn’t enough for them.
Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong merely gave perfunctory smiles.
Long Hu Wei was excited and said, “Brother Qu Yi, although you’re only at the one-star Earth Soul Demon level, from your performance just now, it seems you could even hold your own against a three-star Earth Soul Demon.”
Qu Yi chuckled.
Not only were they on par with a three-star Earth Soul Demon, but if Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun truly unleashed the power of their mid-tier immortal weapons, dealing with a six-star Earth Soul Demon wouldn’t be a problem either.
After all, the Shangjin Sword, Xiefeng Drum, and Qiantu Shuttle were all at the Upper Earth Soul Immortal level, and their attacks were already spatial in nature. If they hit a six-star Earth Soul Demon cultivator, they could trap him for a while.
Soon, another wave of powerful aura emerged from the underground wolf den—those one-star Earth Soul Demon level Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves finally came out.
These Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves, with Golden Magic Essence flowing within them and standing three meters tall, looked formidable as soon as they appeared. Their gleaming golden eyes alone were enough to make people tremble.
However, their number wasn’t large—only a little over five hundred.
Ugh!
Another command came from within the den; it seemed the ruler there was urging the Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves to attack again.
“Guys, these Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves are all at the one-star Earth Soul Demon level, and there are only five hundred of them. Let’s have a competition to see who can kill the most of them,” Qu Yi called out with a smile.
Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun smiled and replied happily, “Sure, let’s have a race.”

Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong hesitated for a moment upon hearing Qu Yi’s call, then directly said, “Qu Yi, all three of us are at the cultivation level of Upper Soul Demons. We’re simply not strong enough to deal with these Earth Soul Demon-level demon wolves.” At this point, they decided not to help Qu Yi kill the wolves, knowing that if they continued fighting like this, they would have to use their defensive armor, which would reveal their true strength to Qu Yi. Qu Yi was about to scold them when he saw the Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves pouncing from the air, so he immediately shouted, “Whatever you do.” Naturally, among the two adventure groups, only Qu Yi, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun had the strength to fight these Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves. The four of them transformed into afterimages and rushed into the attack range of the wolves without hesitation, using their divine weapons to mercilessly slaughter them. “Speed of Cold!” Qu Yi utilized the Speed of Cold derived from Water Zun—a burst-like speed. In an instant, he appeared beside one of the Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves and swung his Wu Xi Sword fiercely, splitting it in two. Although the Golden-Eyed Demon Wolf was also at the level of a one-star Earth Soul Demon, it couldn’t dodge Qu Yi’s sudden attack. Mu Zun, instead of using the Speed of Life to attack, poured all his Wood Element energy into the Wind Control Drum and struck four times in a row, causing the drum’s sound to resonate. Immediately, numerous square spaces formed in the surrounding area, trapping the leaping demon wolves inside. These spaces were filled with Soul Entangling Sounds, disrupting and shattering the wolves’ soul flowers. Like Mu Zun, Tu Zun also didn’t use his own Speed of Endurance for movement but entered his Subterranean Shuttle, driving it around violently. The Subterranean Shuttle was a divine weapon at the level of Upper Earth Soul Immortals. Although Tu Zun was only a one-star Earth Soul Immortal, pouring his Earth Element energy into the shuttle allowed it to reach the ultimate speed of the Speed of Endurance. Instant teleportation! In a flash, more than a dozen Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves had holes punched through their bodies at the same time, and they died mid-air. Qu Yi, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun quickly wiped out all 500 Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves, leaving none alive. Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong watched motionless, feeling a surge of coldness in their hearts. They thought about leaving Qu Yi and the others, but it now seemed even more difficult.

The three of them had come to the Demon Realm to gather information; they certainly didn’t want to be kidnapped by Qu Yi and his group and forced to act together. However, given the strength of Qu Yi’s group, none of them dared to leave on their own, fearing that they might take the opportunity to kill them.
The five members of the Tiger Might Adventurers Group watched Qu Yi’s group’s performance with great excitement, their eyes filled with admiration.
In the Demon Realm, where strength is revered above all, this principle is upheld to the fullest extent.
With the Golden-Eyed Demon Wolves gone, changes occurred once again in the underground wolf den. The auras of five extremely powerful Earth Soul Demons quickly rushed toward the entrance of the den.
