"Senior Sister Cai Xuan, be careful!" a startled cry rang out, followed by a howl. A wolf, three meters long, was instantly killed by Yue Cai Xuan's sword. However, Yue Cai Xuan's left arm was now wounded.
"Junior Sister Fuyao, there are too many Azure Electric Black Wolves. If it's too much, we can crush the talismans and retreat," Yue Cai Xuan said with a grave expression, looking at the dozens of Azure Electric Black Wolves surrounding them. After glancing at the wound on her left arm, she whispered.
Yue Fuyao fell silent upon hearing this. After entering the Xuan Beast World, the two had landed directly in the midst of a wolf pack. Although the Azure Electric Black Wolves were only at the early Martial King realm, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Furthermore, the attacks of the Azure Electric Black Wolves carried lightning power, causing instant paralysis upon contact. In less than fifteen minutes, both had sustained significant injuries.
Roar!
Just then, a wolf howl echoed. The next moment, several Azure Electric Black Wolves lunged at Yue Fuyao and Yue Cai Xuan.
"Junior Sister, be careful!"
Yue Cai Xuan cried out in alarm and charged forward, her long sword slashing.
Yue Fuyao tightened her grip on her spirit sword, cleaving down at an approaching Azure Electric Black Wolf.
The battle continued, but their area of movement grew smaller. In less than a minute, both had sustained more injuries.
At this moment, over a dozen Azure Electric Black Wolves roaming the periphery, under the signal of a particularly large one, joined the fray. Soon, Yue Cai Xuan and Yue Fuyao's situation became increasingly precarious.
"Huh, it sounds like someone is fighting!" Li Xuan sensed a residual wave of battle as soon as he emerged from the desert. With a thought, he swept towards the direction of the fight.
"How is it them!" Li Xuan stopped and was momentarily stunned. But soon, he moved, his fist slamming towards an Azure Electric Black Wolf.
Bang!
Li Xuan's strike sent an Azure Electric Black Wolf flying. With another thought, his sword Jing Hun appeared in his hand, and with a sweeping arc, several Azure Electric Black Wolves were slain by Li Xuan.
Roar!
Just then, the Azure Electric Black Wolf King also noticed Li Xuan's arrival. With a howl, the remaining dozen or so Azure Electric Black Wolves retreated and gathered behind their king.
"Young Master Li Xuan!" Yue Cai Xuan and Yue Fuyao, who were about to crush their talismans, paused as the situation changed. After the Azure Electric Black Wolves retreated, they both spotted Li Xuan. Their faces lit up with excitement; they were saved.
"Miss Fuyao, Miss Cai Xuan, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon," Li Xuan said with a slight smile as he turned around.
"Your injuries... you should tend to them first. Leave this to me," Li Xuan said, looking at Yue Fuyao and Yue Cai Xuan with a slight frown.
"Alright," Yue Cai Xuan nodded. Although she didn't know Li Xuan's exact strength, his ability to kill several Azure Electric Black Wolves with a single sword clearly indicated he was powerful. In this world filled with Xuan Beasts, maintaining peak physical condition was paramount. Without hesitation, she pulled Yue Fuyao to sit down and close her eyes to recuperate.
"Come, let's continue," Li Xuan shifted his gaze to the Azure Electric Black Wolf King and said with a faint smile.
As if understanding Li Xuan's words, the Azure Electric Black Wolf King bared its fangs, lowered its forequarters, and pounced.
"Good!" Li Xuan thought as he retracted Jing Hun into his body and threw a punch.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed. Li Xuan and the Azure Electric Black Wolf King exchanged positions. Li Xuan was surprised to discover that the Azure Electric Black Wolf King possessed lightning power. In their brief clash, his left arm had gone numb.
"Again!"
Li Xuan shook his arm, his enthusiasm growing, and he actively charged towards the Azure Electric Black Wolf King.
Bang, bang, bang!
The man and the wolf engaged in a fierce struggle, the terrifying shockwaves causing nearby trees to break in half. Although the Azure Electric Black Wolf King's lightning power intensified, Li Xuan's physical strength grew with the fight.
Bang!
Three minutes later, a thud was heard, and the Azure Electric Black Wolf King's massive body was sent flying backward.
"Seems it wasn't enough," Li Xuan shook his head, then walked to the Azure Electric Black Wolf King, which lay prone and unable to stand, and delivered a punch.
The Azure Electric Black Wolf let out a pained cry and died within moments.
Li Xuan looked up at the remaining dozen or so Azure Electric Black Wolves. Seeing this, they quickly turned tail, tails tucked, and fled. In an instant, they vanished without a trace.
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to Yue Fuyao and Yue Cai Xuan, waiting.
Ten minutes later, Yue Cai Xuan and Yue Fuyao opened their eyes simultaneously. Upon seeing the corpse of the Azure Electric Black Wolf King on the ground, the two exchanged a shocked glance.
"This is the Azure Electric Black Wolf King?" Yue Cai Xuan asked in astonishment.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, "It is."
"Young Master Li Xuan, just how strong are you?" Yue Cai Xuan asked curiously.
"Senior Sister!" Yue Fuyao tugged at Yue Cai Xuan, then looked at Li Xuan and bowed, "Thank you for saving us again, Young Master."
Yue Fuyao felt a sense of emotion. This was the second time Li Xuan had saved her. Could this be the fated connection her master had spoken of? Thinking this, Yue Fuyao's face flushed crimson.
"It's nothing. I just happened to encounter you. Of course, I had to help. Ladies, the Azure Electric Black Wolf King is dead. We mustn't waste such excellent ingredients," Li Xuan said with a smile, waving his hand. With a thought, he gathered some firewood and dry grass and started a fire.
Watching Li Xuan skillfully skin and gut the Azure Electric Black Wolf King, Yue Fuyao and Yue Cai Xuan were once again surprised.
From his actions, it seemed Li Xuan was quite accustomed to this.
In fact, Li Xuan was. In his childhood, he often went hungry in the Li family of Qingcheng. As he grew older, he frequently accompanied hunters into the mountains. Through repeated experience, he naturally learned these skills.
Soon, as Li Xuan sprinkled seasonings, a fragrant aroma wafted out. Yue Fuyao and Yue Cai Xuan sniffed the air, their appetites greatly whetted. Their stomachs even rumbled.
Li Xuan heard this and smiled faintly, "Ladies, it's almost ready. Let's eat together."
Yue Cai Xuan was hardly one to be shy. She immediately pulled Yue Fuyao over.
"Delicious!" Yue Cai Xuan took a wolf leg handed to her by Li Xuan, took a bite, and her eyes sparkled with praise. Yue Fuyao giggled and covered her mouth with her hand before chewing delicately.
After half an hour, the three let out satisfied burps.
"Young Master Li Xuan, can we travel with you?" Yue Cai Xuan asked, wiping her mouth, then looking at Li Xuan. Yue Fuyao also turned her gaze to Li Xuan, her eyes clearly showing a hint of anticipation.
Li Xuan nodded without hesitation, "Of course."
After a simple tidying up, the three set off.
