The mottled city walls were piled high with bones beneath them.
The words Xijue City were also covered in dark red bloodstains.
Zhou You stopped and looked up at the city tower.
Wolves surrounded him, their scarlet eyes fixed on the ground below.
Zhou You's actions were incomprehensible to these Yao Beasts; had such a fragrant fellow lost his way?
Saliva dripped from the mouths of the nearby Blood Shadow Wolves; at this moment, in their eyes, the person before them was a true Medicinal Pill.
That intoxicating scent was unique, and before their extremely sensitive sense of smell, it could even be magnified many times over.
Zhou You glanced around, finally confirming one thing.
He had forgotten to look up when he was thinking just now, so he had deviated from the direction where Zhou Chen and her group were.
"Howl!"
Wolf howls rose and fell, shaking the entire city.
In an instant, wolf shadows darted through the moonlight, thundering like a stampede.
Zhou You's Right Hand slowly rested on the hilt of his sword, as the pack of wolves descended from above, letting out deafening roars.
Continuous Sword Drawing Technique!
At that moment, a cold light seemed to flicker under the moonlight, weaving into a strange sword net.
"Oh my dear mother, what is happening?"
Behind them, Tu San and Xiao Jing appeared, staring dumbfounded at the scene unfolding at the city gate.
Blood Shadow Wolves charged down the city wall one after another, only to scatter across the ground like dumplings.
Looking at that person again, he hadn't even drawn his sword.
Zhou You walked slowly forward, entering the city gate piled with bones.
In his opinion, it didn't really matter whether Li Wanji and Zhou Chen were there or not.
If he brought them along, it would still be more suitable to find lone Yao Beasts.
Unlike the outside, upon entering the city gate, a foul and rotten smell emanated from within.
After all, they were Yao Beasts; they ate, drank, and relieved themselves all here.
More Blood Shadow Wolves leaped from the city wall, rushed out of houses, and emerged from small alleys...
Then, they surged forward like a tide.
Zhou You stopped once again, and another hundred or so Blood Shadow Wolf corpses piled up nearby, their fresh blood flowing and converging into a river.
As the later Blood Shadow Wolves bared their teeth where they stood, Zhou You slowly took out a demon slayer token and overlapped it with his sword sheath, holding them in his Left Hand.
He activated the Soul-Devouring Formation within them, and immediately, wisps of gray Qi gathered from all directions.
These Blood Shadow Wolves were all between second and third grade.
Thud!
The street ahead trembled, and the pack of wolves parted, as a taller, larger Blood Shadow Wolf came chewing on an infant.
It had been happily eating its late-night snack but was disturbed by the commotion outside, so its anger at this moment was imaginable.
A Fourth Grade Blood Shadow Wolf!
Zhou You calmly watched the opponent.
The Fourth Grade Blood Shadow Wolf opened its mouth and spat out half an infant's arm, its eyes sharp as it stared at Zhou You.
This person smelled even better!
Much more fragrant than a Human Race infant.
"Howl!"
The Fourth Grade Blood Shadow Wolf pressed its front paws to the ground, stretched its neck, and let out a long howl towards the sky.
Plop!
The Fourth Grade Blood Shadow Wolf's body split down the middle, dividing into two halves.
"So noisy."
Zhou You said coldly, his eyes flashing, as he once again performed the Continuous Sword Drawing Technique.
Another swath of wolves within a thirty-meter radius fell.
Outside the city gate.
Tu San and Xiao Jing looked at the Blood Shadow Wolf corpses blocking the city gate, their scalps tingling.
"Good thing we didn't make a move."
Tu San said with lingering fear, "I heard that some Geniuses with powerful Bloodlines, even when venturing out for training, will have a Dao Protector accompanying them.
Clearly, he has one by his side, and this is obviously for training his courage!
Anyway, I'd die before believing a Fan Blood Realm cultivator could achieve this level."
He didn't dare to think any further.
If he had recklessly attacked at that time, he probably would have been killed before even touching the opponent.
Xiao Jing's face was pale, "These guys from the great Sects always make people uncontrollably jealous."
Tu San sighed, "There's no helping it, that's just how the world is; there's never been such a thing as fairness."
Xiao Jing said in a deep voice, "A Dao Protector who acts so swiftly must at least be a strong cultivator in the Yin Yang Realm, right?"
Tu San nodded, "Of course, at the very least, they must be in the Yin Yang Realm, and possibly even stronger."
Xiao Jing leaped onto the city wall, and Tu San hurriedly followed, "What are you doing? We shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing."
Xiao Jing said coldly, "I want to see how these great Sects cultivate their Disciples."
Tu San became anxious, "Can't you just give it up? Is this something we're allowed to see? Just look at how calm that kid is, and you'll know.
He doesn't even draw his sword; it's purely for training his courage.
Once he gets used to this kind of slaughter, he won't panic anymore."
Xiao Jing gripped the hilt of his short sword tightly; in comparison, what did his own efforts amount to?
How many times had he brushed shoulders with death?
Looking at the other person, it was just for training his courage, yet a powerful expert could be dispatched to guard him!
No wonder Tu San and those others died without them even seeing how; they simply weren't qualified to see!
"Weren't you going to 'borrow' something?"
Xiao Jing said coldly, "I'll accompany you."
Tu San's face fell, "Don't mess around, I don't want to 'borrow' anything now, I want to go home, I want to go back to Ye City."
It was too dangerous outside!
Xiao Jing pointed to the street below, "He's moving forward again."
Tu San pulled Xiao Jing's wrist, "Listen to my advice, truly don't get involved in this kind of thing.
What if his Dao Protector finds us displeasing and slaps us to death? We wouldn't even have a place to cry for justice."
Xiao Jing gritted his teeth, "I just won't accept it!"
"What good is not accepting it?"
Tu San's Right Hand tightened, "We can't afford to provoke these kinds of people, nor can we compare to them.
I estimate that any Medicinal Pill he casually takes is something we wouldn't even dare to dream of."
Xiao Jing said coldly, "At first, you were the one who insisted on coming."
Tu San's face turned ugly, "How was I supposed to know that such a terrifying existence would be accompanying this rookie?
If I had smelled even a hint of it, you could have beaten me to death, and I still wouldn't have come!"
Xiao Jing shook off Tu San's hand and leaped onto the street.
The surroundings trembled, and the Blood Shadow Wolves still charged fearlessly towards Zhou You.
Bang!
Zhou You kicked open a door and saw a man in the living room, disemboweled, his internal organs eaten hollow.
Then, he turned around, and the heads of the dozen or so Blood Shadow Wolves in front of him were directly sliced off.
"Is this a fallen city?"
Zhou You frowned, "How tragic."
To be trapped here and then allowed to be eaten by Yao Beasts.
Even though Li Wanji had said that these Yao Beasts had learned to control their desires, Yao Beasts were still Yao Beasts.
They would eat whenever they wished.
"Howl!"
Accompanied by a deafening wolf howl, the moonlight seemed to dim a few shades.
A giant wolf ascended into the air, its scarlet eyes fixed on Zhou You.
At this moment, the other Blood Shadow Wolves retreated, clearing an open space.
At the same time, five more giant wolves appeared; these were Fifth Grade Blood Shadow Wolves, enormous in size and astonishing in power.
Waves of foul-smelling stench emanated, making one nauseous.
Zhou You looked directly up at the one in the air; this one's size was actually not as large as the Fifth Grade Blood Shadow Wolves.
But a feeling told him that this should be the Sixth Grade Yao Beast, the Blood Shadow Wolf King, that Li Wanji mentioned!
