Chapter 78: Cangqi King Wolf

Jia Xun, who had reached the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage, did not appear too nervous. He lightly smiled at Qin Jun and the other two, saying, "Your Highnesses, there's no need to worry. We are only a few dozen miles away from the capital, and the nearby demonic beasts won't be too strong."

Qin Jun couldn't help but sneer. Even at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, he felt palpitations. And you're saying they're not strong?

With the guards protecting them, Qin Jun was happy to relax.

Soon, the ground began to tremble slightly, clearly indicating that a massive creature was approaching. The terrifying demonic aura caused the surrounding leaves to shake.

Qin Yu and Qin Yun nervously hid behind the guards. Seeing this, Qin Jun couldn't help but shake his head. They were like delicate flowers in a greenhouse. With such timidity, they still wanted to participate in the Dragon Subduing Martial Arts Assembly?

"I didn't expect a newly formed wolf demon to appear nearby," the Xiong Tian Dog sighed at Qin Jun's feet. A demonic beast that had formed a demon core was at the Golden Core stage. For the convenience of humans, they also referred to demonic beasts at the demon core stage as being at the Golden Core stage.

Qin Jun's eyes lit up. Could he finally level up by killing monsters?

"Xiong Tian Dog, do you not know that little wolf demon? Can I kill it?" Qin Jun smirked.

"You can," the Xiong Tian Dog glanced at Qin Jun. Inside the demonic beast clan, there was no unity. The infighting was even more brutal than among humans. It was said that a long time ago, this world was ruled by the demonic beast clan, but due to their lack of unity, they were overthrown by the human clan.

After getting the Xiong Tian Dog's approval, Qin Jun couldn't help but feel excited.

If he could encounter demonic beasts continuously on the road, he might be able to break through to the Golden Core stage before the Dragon Subduing Martial Arts Assembly. Thinking about this, he was actually a little excited.

Boom!

A massive black creature crashed through the trees, causing all the guards to shiver. Their gazes fell on the creature, and they couldn't help but gasp for breath.

It was a three-meter-tall gray giant wolf, with a body length of five meters. Its body was covered in blood, and many of its fur was scorched by lightning, giving it an extremely eerie feeling. Especially its eyes, which were blood-red, exuding a chilling killing intent and ferocity.

The aura of the Golden Core stage made everyone feel palpitations.

Apart from Daji and the Xiong Tian Dog, no one present was above the Golden Core stage. The reason they didn't send Golden Core stage cultivators was to let them hone their skills, and also because Golden Core stage cultivators were rare and had their own responsibilities.

"Surround it! Don't let it harm the three Highnesses!" Jia Xun quickly shouted. Fifty guards swiftly surrounded the gray wolf, and Qin Yu and Qin Yun's subordinates did the same. If they didn't kill this gray wolf, it would definitely lead to the complete annihilation of the guards, making the journey ahead even more difficult.

"Awoo!"

The gray wolf howled, then leaped towards Qin Yu as if it were a giant rock.

Tsk tsk, his luck was so bad that even the demonic beast targeted him first!

Daji also walked out of the carriage and sat next to Qin Jun, saying with interest, "This little wolf demon actually has the bloodline of the Cangqi King Wolf."

Cangqi King Wolf?

The name sounds impressive!

Seeing the confusion in Qin Jun's eyes, Daji explained, "The Cangqi King Wolf is a lineage that has been passed down from ancient times. It was once extremely powerful, but now it has declined. Although this little wolf demon's bloodline is impure, it may one day transform into a true Cangqi King Wolf."

"Hmph, compared to the Celestial Dog Clan, the Cangqi King Wolf can't even compare," the Xiong Tian Dog sneered.

"The greatest is the Celestial Fox Clan!" Daji boasted, making Qin Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes. He wasn't targeting any one of them, but both of them. In front of the strongest human clan, their races were nothing!

At the same time, the Blood Blade King, who was faithfully protecting Qin Yu, was completely overwhelmed by the frenzied gray wolf. If it weren't for other guards sharing the hatred, he probably wouldn't last five seconds.

"Awoo!"

The gray wolf waved its claws, and as one fell, the earth flew, and the guard hit by it spat out blood and flew backward.

Countless spells illuminated the dim environment, all landing on the gray wolf, but they didn't harm it. Instead, they made it even more ferocious.

With a bang, the gray wolf suddenly spewed out red light, directly blasting a guard into pieces, a very bloody scene that made people nauseous.

"Damn, the Golden Core stage demonic beasts near the capital have already been cleared out by Nan Meng, but unexpectedly, we encountered a wolf demon that just broke through to the Golden Core stage. This is not a good start!" Jia Xun sighed. Although the human clan was the ruler, they wouldn't exterminate all the demonic beasts. Moreover, demonic beasts not only served as food for the human clan, but their flesh and blood were also extremely useful for human cultivators. Therefore, all countries would strive to control the number of demonic beasts.

They didn't want to exterminate them, but they also didn't want them to become a disaster.

Of course, demonic beasts were not fools. They often produced demon kings, uniting the demonic beasts and forming a beast tide.

"Blood Blade Slash!"

The Blood Blade King, dressed in black, leaped up, raising his curved blade high above his head. Blood light burst forth, and as he slashed down, he intended to split the gray wolf in half.

However, the gray wolf suddenly turned and waved its claws, and the red demonic power turned into three wind blades, striking the Blood Blade King at lightning speed. Blood splattered, and the Blood Blade King, who was in the air, screamed and flew backward.

Qin Yu's face changed dramatically. The strongest person by his side was the Blood Blade King, but he was so weak in front of the gray wolf.

Did they really have to retreat to the capital?

Qin Yu looked embarrassed. If the people in the capital knew that they had been driven back after just one day out, it would be so humiliating!

"I wonder how much experience points I can earn by killing it," Qin Jun muttered to himself. One by one, the imperial guards died tragically, and Qin Yu and Qin Yun's subordinates were repeatedly knocked away, but he remained calm.

He didn't plan to let Daji and Xiong Tianquan take action until it was critical. He wanted to rely on himself, so he waited for the Grey Demon Wolf to weaken before making a move.

"Prince Yue, don't let her take action yet!"

At this moment, Jia Xun suddenly looked towards Qin Jun. The news of Daji killing Xiahou En was not a secret among the upper echelons of the kingdom, but most people were unwilling to believe it.

In this situation, Jia Xun felt like he was grasping at straws, but regardless, he decided to act first and worry about the consequences later. After all, they were not his subordinates.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow. Just as Daji was about to get up, he suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

"If we are stopped by a mere demon wolf, then there's no need for us to participate in the Dragon Submersion Tournament!"

Qin Jun said coldly, causing Qin Yun nearby to feel ashamed, and Qin Yu to feel that Qin Jun was humiliating him, which was indeed a mockery.

Clang—

Qin Jun raised his right hand, and the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear appeared out of thin air. The silver light shone, complementing his white attire and radiant demeanor.

"You vile creature, Zhao of Changshan... Bah! I am here, do not be insolent!"

With a strange cry, Qin Jun charged towards the Grey Demon Wolf. Wasn't his diligent training in spear techniques for this moment?
