Chapter 51

Narrow paths favor the brave!

Wei Changfeng returned to the Green Mountain not for sightseeing, but fully prepared for any danger.

So when the Black Wolf King lunged at him head-on, his mind remained calm, and he did not take a single step back. He raised his fists and charged at the fierce beast with all his might!

Barbarian Bear Heavy Strike!

At this critical moment, Wei Changfeng exerted all his strength, fully activating the first level of the Dry Yang True Qi. Both his fist speed and power reached their peak.

Bang!

His gloved fists, though slower to start, struck first, hitting the wolf's head before its massive jaws could close. The right fist precisely hit the Black Wolf King's left eye!

Aow!

The Black Wolf King howled in pain, falling to the ground as its left eye was almost shattered by Wei Changfeng's iron fist.

Wei Changfeng took a step back, his tightly clenched hands trembling involuntarily. Blood gushed from between his fingers, dripping onto the ground.

The hard-hitting Barbarian Bear Heavy Strike successfully repelled the Black Wolf King, but the shock of the impact also split the tiger's mouth of his hands, offering no real advantage.

The power sufficient to crush the skull of a White-Necked Black Wolf was clearly not a significant threat to the Black Wolf King, a lower-level demon beast. If not for the lucky hit to the eye, the Black Wolf King might not have even been lightly injured!

"Kill!"

However, Wei Changfeng's fighting spirit did not wane; it only grew stronger.

Taking advantage of the Black Wolf King's fall, he swiftly drew his green saber with his bleeding right hand and slashed down with lightning speed!

Rear Sword Technique!

Using full strength, the pure and positive Dry Yang True Qi infused the blade, making the sharp weapon glow with a scorching flame as it struck straight at the Black Wolf King's head.

The Black Wolf King, with its left eye blinded and the arrow wound poisoning it, reacted a beat too slow. Seeing the green saber coming down, it could only turn its head.

Pfft!

The blade viciously cut into its neck, causing the skin to tear and blood to spurt.

The sharpness of the green saber combined with Wei Changfeng's strength would have severed half of its neck if not for the Black Wolf King's significant movement!

Aow!

Despite the severe injury, the Black Wolf King was still fierce, suddenly leaping forward and swiping at Wei Changfeng with its claws.

Its counterattack caught Wei Changfeng off guard, and he had no time to dodge with the Fox Step.

Whoosh!

At this critical moment, Tie Yi timely came to the rescue, his iron blade heavily slashing the Black Wolf King's lower back from the right side!

Crack!

A crisp bone-breaking sound echoed!

As the saying goes, "copper head, iron bones, tofu waist," referring to the weakness of wolf beasts. Tie Yi's blade not only cut through half of the Black Wolf King's body but also severed its spine.

The Black Wolf King's claws barely touched Wei Changfeng's thigh before falling limply, the sharp claws tearing through his leg guard and leaving three deep wounds.

Wei Changfeng, enduring the intense pain, kicked out with his right leg, striking the Black Wolf King's chin hard.

Bang!

The Black Wolf King rolled to the ground, its body covered in blood. It struggled to get up but failed several times, its remaining good eye filled with despair.

Tie Yi gave it no chance, rushing forward and slashing its head again.

Wei Changfeng followed up, thrusting his green saber into the Black Wolf King's neck, piercing its vital point!

The Black Wolf King, no matter how strong, could not withstand such a severe injury. After a few convulsions, it lay still.

Success!

Wei Changfeng took several deep breaths, his body relaxing, almost unable to hold his weapon.

The true confrontation with the Black Wolf King lasted only a few moments. Any mistake in their coordination could have led to a different outcome.

At this moment, he realized his back was drenched in sweat.

"Junior Brother, we actually..."

Tie Yi, still in disbelief, said shakily, "We actually took down a pack of White-Necked Black Wolves and killed a Black Wolf King, a Black Wolf King!"

With his Fifth Level Body Cultivation, Tie Yi was fearless against ordinary wolves and tigers in the Green Mountain, but he would retreat from even a lower-level demon beast, not daring to fight it head-on.

The Black Wolf King, though not the strongest among lower-level demon beasts, was formidable due to its pack of White-Necked Black Wolves, making it more difficult to deal with than a typical lower-level demon beast.

So when Wei Changfeng said he had a plan to deal with the wolf pack, Tie Yi did not believe him.

Now, the living proof showed that Wei Changfeng was not exaggerating. They had indeed defeated a wolf pack with a king, with minimal injuries.

It was a miracle!

Wei Changfeng took a deep breath, leaning against a tree and sitting down, smiling, "We had some luck!"

If poisoning the White-Necked Black Wolves was a well-planned move, then killing the Black Wolf King had a bit of luck.

"You have too much courage!"

Tie Yi sighed, "I was worried for you the whole time. Fortunately, your crossbow arrows hit the Black Wolf King, or we wouldn't have won so easily!"

The sleeve arrows given by Ouyang Feng were crucial. The two poisoned arrows significantly weakened the demon beast, making it easier for Wei Changfeng to strike.

The dead wolf king on the ground had swollen arrow wounds, looking particularly terrifying.

Wei Changfeng said, "Big Brother Tie, you handle the corpse, I'll treat my injuries..."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Tie Yi patted his chest, "I'll make sure not to waste a single bit of material!"

With him handling the spoils, Wei Changfeng felt much more relaxed.

He removed his gloves, freeing his blood-soaked hands, applied a blood-stopping powder, and then wrapped them with clean bandages.

Next, he treated his thigh, which had a deep wound, also applying medicine and bandaging it.

After treating his injuries, Wei Changfeng leaned against the tree, sitting on the ground, and used his qi to recover the energy and strength he had expended.

After about half an hour of rest, his injuries were basically under control.

Tie Yi had also almost finished processing the spoils.

Eliminating an entire wolf pack had brought them a substantial reward.

The most valuable was the Black Wolf King. Although its skin was damaged and not very valuable, its intact demon core was carefully removed and placed in a medicine box.

This demon core alone could easily sell for over a thousand silver taels in Jingyun City!

The demon core of a demon beast was extremely precious, being one of the most important materials for refining high-level elixirs. Hunting demon beasts, however, was not an easy task.

Demon beasts possess a certain level of intelligence and have an instinctive sense of danger. When they encounter a powerful opponent, they often sense it in advance and flee.

But when they encounter a weaker opponent, their cruel nature is fully revealed.

So, when experts venture deep into the Green Mountain, they usually face strong demon beasts, while weaker hunters and treasure seekers face lower-level demon beasts, which are a nightmare for them.

Both Wei Changfeng and Tie Yi had only mid-level Body Cultivation, so the Black Wolf King, leading a pack of wolves, saw them as easy prey.

In the end, the Black Wolf King was caught off guard. It never imagined that Wei Changfeng could use two worthless herbs to poison the entire pack of White-Necked Black Wolves, forcing it into a solo battle.

This battle, Wei Changfeng and Tie Yi won partly due to luck, but more so because they used the right methods!

Besides the demon core, the Black Wolf King's fangs, claws, and long tail were also valuable and were carefully separated and stored by Tie Yi.

As for the other White-Necked Black Wolves, due to the limited amount they could carry, they had to reluctantly abandon them.

"What a pity!" Tie Yi said regretfully, "They're all money!"

He was used to being poor, and even a single copper coin falling would make him sad. Seeing the wolf corpses, which were more valuable than a pile of copper coins, and not being able to take them, naturally caused him great pain!

In comparison, Wei Changfeng was much more generous.

Although he was also very poor, he understood the importance of prioritizing. He patted Tie Yi's shoulder and said, "Big Brother Tie, let's forget about this small amount of money. We'll go for bigger gains!"

"Are there bigger gains?"

Tie Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

But he did not think Wei Changfeng was exaggerating. The facts had already proven his capabilities.

Just the mixed powder he prepared earlier, Tie Yi had never even heard of before!

Wei Changfeng affirmed, "Of course!"

This return to the Green Mountain was out of necessity. He did not want to come here every day. If he could earn enough this time, he wouldn't have to worry about money before his final battle with Hao Xiong.

"Let's go!"

Leaving the wolf corpses behind, the two continued deeper into the mountains.

...

As the sky grew dark, Wei Changfeng and Tie Yi arrived at the canyon they had visited before.

He returned to the edge of the pond deep in the valley.

The cold pond, hidden in the valley, showed no signs of recent visitors. The open area by the shore was covered with wild grass and vines, with no signs of animals or beasts.

Only Wei Changfeng knew that several corpses were still submerged at the bottom of the pond!

He had a specific purpose for returning here.

However, with the sky growing darker, any plans had to be postponed until the next day. So, they returned to the place where they had camped before.

They set up a small campfire in a sheltered area, roasting the wolf meat they had cut earlier. Although they had only salt as seasoning, the meat was still delicious.

After a simple dinner, Tie Yi volunteered to take the night watch, allowing the injured Wei Changfeng to rest.

The night passed quietly.
