The leader wolf, as large as a water buffalo, split into two halves and fell to the ground.
Inside the cave, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The sword strike just now had given him a glimpse of the essence of lightning, which was profound and mysterious.
Outside the cave, the death of the leader wolf caused the surrounding red-flame wolves to be terrified, retreating in fear and not daring to advance for a moment.
In a place far from the third battlefield, there was a red-haired youth riding a red-flame demon wolf. This wolf was about the same size as an ordinary red-flame wolf, but the aura it emitted was even stronger than that of the leader wolf, and it exuded a faint demonic aura.
This was actually a demonic beast!
And on top of this demonic beast sat a youth.
If one looked closely, they would notice that this red-haired youth was different from normal humans. His eyes were emerald green, like two flickering flames.
Behind him, there was a red tail, like a red flame, constantly swaying.
Beside the red-haired youth stood a person, completely shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face, but his voice was very young.
"The Xuantian Sect is one of the three major sects in Yunzhou. If we can wipe out all their selected disciples, it will be a significant blow to them!" the black-robed person said.
"Don't worry, this time I summoned a pack of wolves, including four third-stage ferocious beasts and countless red-flame wolves. Dealing with these outer sect disciples will be more than enough!" the red-haired youth said casually, riding the demonic beast.
"If this plan succeeds, Father will surely be pleased! Yuming, thank you for your help this time!" The red-haired youth's voice was tinged with excitement.
The black-robed person named Yuming chuckled softly, "It is an honor to serve Young Master Chiyue!"
The youth named Chiyue stroked the fur of the red-flame demon wolf beneath him, looking proudly into the distance.
Suddenly, his expression turned serious.
"What's wrong?" Yuming asked beside him.
"One of the third-stage red-flame wolves is dead." Chiyue seemed incredulous, "Damn it, they actually managed to kill a third-stage ferocious beast!"
"It shouldn't be possible. Normally, a third-stage leader wolf would have at least a few hundred red-flame wolves around it. The power of a sixth-stage Pulse Condensation cultivator would not dare to face such a force, no matter how many there are."
"Unless there is a cultivator of the eighth stage or higher, it would be possible to kill the leader wolf."
"Could there be an inner sect disciple of the Xuantian Sect here?" the black-robed person Yuming speculated.
"Hmph! To dare kill my subordinates in front of me, they truly deserve to die!" Chiyue said with hatred, "Yuming, come with me to take a look!"
"No!" Yuming stopped the youth's action, "We have mobilized so many wolf packs, which must have attracted the attention of the Xuantian Sect. Going out now would be like delivering ourselves to them."
Chiyue seemed to realize he couldn't act rashly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Launch another attack, then retreat."
He then patted the red-flame demon wolf beneath him.
The demonic beast howled to the sky, emitting a series of wolf cries.
The red-flame wolves on the battlefield, upon hearing this howl, bared their fangs and became abnormally fierce. Many disciples were injured by these wolf packs, and some even lost their lives.
However, more disciples, like Lin Xuan, took refuge in the ruins of buildings, waiting for the sect's rescue.
At a nearby outpost, several purple-robed youths rushed in.
"Elder Gu, it's bad! The trial battlefield suddenly has many more red-flame wolves, and they are led by third-stage ferocious beasts. It seems to be a premeditated attack."
Elder Gu stood up abruptly, "Red-flame wolf attack! Quickly send people to rescue the disciples!"
He knew how terrifying wolf packs could be, and these trial disciples had never truly experienced the cruelty of war, making it impossible for them to withstand the ferocious wolf packs.
Elder Gu personally mobilized, gathering disciples from the other two spirit ships to enter the four trial battlefields with the purple-robed youths.
Inside the ruins of the third battlefield.
Yin Qingyi's light gradually faded, and a powerful sixth-stage Pulse Condensation spiritual energy emanated from her. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes.
In front of her was a solid back, like a mountain, standing firm.
"Lin, Lin Senior Brother!" Yin Qingyi called softly.
Puff! Lin Xuan killed a frenzied red-flame wolf with one sword strike, then turned his head and said, "You're awake, congratulations on advancing!"
Yin Qingyi looked at the wolf corpse at the cave entrance, her heart full of gratitude: "Senior Brother Lin protected me while I was cultivating, and he fought against so many red-flame wolves alone!"
She walked lightly to Lin Xuan's back, then drew her long sword, ready to fight the wolf pack with Lin Xuan.
"Let's go, we'll break out!" Lin Xuan said.
If other disciples were here, they would be shocked. Everyone else was hiding from the wolf pack, but Lin Xuan actually wanted to fight his way out, which was a suicidal act!
But Yin Qingyi just nodded vigorously, raised her small hand, and a silver sword light shot out of the cave.
Silver Light Sword Array!
After advancing to the sixth stage of Pulse Condensation, Yin Qingyi's Silver Light Sword Array had doubled in range, reaching over ten feet, and its offensive power had also increased significantly.
The silver light danced, like a series of ribbons, slicing through the red-flame wolves within the sword array.
Lin Xuan and Yin Qingyi also moved, rushing out of the cave.
"Qingyi, you maintain the sword array, the rest is up to me!" Lin Xuan said.
"Okay!" Yin Qingyi's small hand formed a seal again, and a full moon appeared behind her.
Full Moon Sword Array!
The two arrays combined, providing both offense and defense. Yin Qingyi stood outside the cave entrance, activating the sword array.
Phantom Thunder Step!
Lin Xuan transformed into a golden lightning bolt, darting through the wolf pack.
He didn't directly kill, as facing countless wolves, Lin Xuan's Thunder Movement Sword Technique, though fast, would be exhausting if used for a long time.
He just knocked the red-flame wolves away and threw them into the Silver Light Sword Array. It must be said that the sword array, as a group attack method, was very effective in this situation.
Any red-flame wolf that entered the Silver Light Sword Array was pierced by the merciless silver sword light. At this moment, the Silver Light Sword Array was like a meat grinder, mercilessly harvesting the red-flame wolf pack.
Gradually, the wolf corpses in the sword array piled up into a small hill.
Lin Xuan flashed to the edge of the sword array and punched out.
The golden fist whistled out, forming a fierce wind that blasted all the red-flame wolf corpses on the ground away.
Then, he continued to throw the remaining red-flame wolves into the sword array.
In the other three battlefields, the outer sect's Four Heroes, including Shangguan Liuyun, also gathered some disciples and fought fiercely, but the number of red-flame wolves they killed was less than one-tenth of Lin Xuan's, and they still had to face the threat of the leader wolves.
However, this situation did not last long. Soon, the sect's support teams arrived.
Each battlefield had a support team, consisting of one purple-robed youth and thirty inner sect disciples. They were like sharp blades, quickly piercing through the wolf pack and tearing open a gap.
Many disciples were rescued and joined them. In the end, except for those who had died, almost all the outer sect disciples were rescued by the support teams.
"There's Lin Xuan in this battlefield, but he hasn't been found yet!" an outer sect disciple said.
"Lin Xuan, the first in the arena, could he have..."
"He shouldn't have fallen. He must be hiding. Find him immediately!" the purple-robed youth ordered.
