"Kill!"
"Kill this group of demonic beasts!"
"Heavenly Flame Slash!"
Countless roars could be heard outside Yuan Wu City, following the all-out counterattack of the cultivators in the city. The battle cries of the cultivators and the roars of the demonic beasts rose and fell.
After several days of resistance, the demonic beasts were no longer as fierce as before. After being attacked by the cultivators, they retreated in defeat, leaving only corpses on the ground.
In the crowd, Zhang Xuan looked at the battlefield with interest. Although he was also considered a rogue cultivator, his cultivation was too low. He was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from those grand cultivators who could fly in the sky and burrow underground.
As such, Zhang Xuan was only standing at the edge of the battlefield for show. To put it bluntly, he was just an observer at the edge.
As for the rewards, Zhang Xuan wasn't interested. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight for it, but that he didn't have the ability to do so.
Furthermore, he couldn't release Little Moon to fight in front of so many cultivators. If he were to fight on his own, he would be a piece of cake.
No matter how good the reward was, he had to be alive to receive it. Thus, Zhang Xuan had been happily slacking off.
'Don't think I'm lazy, okay? I support you guys in spirit.'
But just as Zhang Xuan was happily slacking off, a tragic cry sounded beside him. He turned around and saw an old white bull flying over. He was so scared that he quickly dodged.
'Tsk, tsk, tsk, whose old bull is in such a miserable state? I wonder which senior brother sent him flying over. It looks like it's in bad shape.'
However, just as Zhang Xuan was about to leave, the big bull stood up. It turned out that the demonic beast was not dead, but only seriously injured.
This time, Zhang Xuan couldn't stay calm. He recognized this type of demonic beast. It was called the Iron Barbaric Bull. It had thick skin and extremely strong defense.
Moreover, from the silver light in its eyes, Zhang Xuan judged that it was at least silver level 2.
"This is terrible!" Zhang Xuan's face turned black. He was just here to slack off, but he could suffer from such an undeserved calamity?
He was no match for a silver-level demonic beast. Even if it was injured, it was not something a Qi Gathering level 4 like him could take on.
Thus, Zhang Xuan activated the wind-controlling spell and ran. However, it was unknown if the bull saw that Zhang Xuan was easy to bully or if it was triggered, but it just continued to chase him.
As Zhang Xuan ran, he turned around and released the fireball spell. However, the power of the basic fireball spell was too weak. Other than causing pain to the bull, it had no effect.
Yuan Wu City was right in front of him, and Zhang Xuan couldn't let this crazy iron raging bull enter the city. However, if he were to stop this bull, he would be in trouble.
In a moment of desperation, Zhang Xuan didn't care anymore. He quickly opened the familiar space and released Little Moon.
When he left the city, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon, but he couldn't expose her, so he didn't let her out. But now, Zhang Xuan couldn't care less. Seeing the Iron Barbaric Bull charging at him, Zhang Xuan shouted, "Little Moon, Frostmoon Storm!"
"Wuwuwu..."
As if her wildness had been aroused by the battle cries, Little Moon let out a sharp wolf howl the moment she came out.
Immediately after, a storm of ice and frost began to engulf the Iron Barbaric Bull.
When the bull saw Little Moon appear, it was clearly stunned. It didn't expect that this human would suddenly release a Silver Moon Wolf.
Immediately after, this stupefied bull was enraged. Perhaps it was because Little Moon was on the side of the humans despite being a beast, or perhaps it was because the bull had simply fallen into madness.
In short, the Iron Barbaric Bull charged over in an even more violent manner.
However, it was already seriously injured, and while it was stunned, it was also attacked by the Frostmoon Storm. Because of this, the wounds on its body were bleeding, and its speed was greatly reduced.
"Retreat!" Zhang Xuan hollered and ordered Little Moon to retreat. At the same time, he frowned.
Silver demonic beasts were indeed hard to deal with. Little Moon was already bronze level 9 and had been nourished by countless earth spirit essence and moon dew cream. Her strength was far beyond that of ordinary demonic beasts of the same rank, but it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that she would be beaten up.
Even so, Little Moon's strongest attack was unable to cause any substantial damage to the bull.
But Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. Even though the bull could take a beating, its movements were slow and cumbersome. Little Moon naturally had the advantage of speed. As long as she slowly exhausted the opponent, she would be able to achieve results.
Furthermore, this battle was also a good experience for Little Moon!
At that moment, the heavily injured Iron Barbaric Bull attacked again. Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and growled, "Little Moon, use Wolf King Pressure and Wind Blade!"
The two of them had been together for a long time and had a tacit understanding, so the moment Zhang Xuan spoke, Little Moon moved.
The Wolf King Pressure domain spread out, and a strong bloody aura filled the air.
At this moment, the surrounding people and demonic beasts were all stunned. They seemed to see a fierce wolf in front of them, opening its bloody mouth at them!
The Iron Barbaric Bull was also intimidated. Little Moon waited for this opportunity to strike, and two wind blades flew straight toward the bull's eyes.
The sharp wind blade swept past, and the Iron Barbaric Bull's weak eyes were instantly sliced open, turning it into a blind bull.
The rest of the battle was easy to predict. The Iron Barbaric Bull had lost its sight, but it could still rely on its sense of smell and hearing to determine Little Moon's location. However, its reaction speed was too slow.
"Finish him!" Zhang Xuan commanded Little Moon to slowly whittle down the Iron Barbaric Bull's HP.
After more than a dozen exchanges, the already heavily injured bull's body was already covered in blood from being cut by the wind blades. He fell to the ground like a small mountain, losing all signs of life.
"Tsk, I'm finally done with this fellow." Seeing the Iron Barbaric Bull fall, Zhang Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The difference between a bronze familiar and a silver demonic beast was too great. If the Iron Barbaric Bull was at its peak condition, Little Moon would definitely not be its match. It was indeed a close call.
"Little Moon, you've done a great job!" Zhang Xuan came to Little Moon's side and praised her.
However, Little Moon was still in battle mode, and her wild nature had yet to fade. Thus, she only moved closer to Zhang Xuan and did not pounce on him like she usually did.
Zhang Xuan didn't mind, as this was how a wolf should be. However, after dealing with the Iron Barbaric Bull, a new problem arrived.
In his desperation, Zhang Xuan had exposed Little Moon.
The fight here had lasted for too long, and with the pressure of the wolf king that Little Moon had released, it had successfully attracted the attention of the nearby cultivators.
At this moment, a few cultivators walked toward Zhang Xuan after taking care of the demonic beasts. Their faces were filled with surprise.
The demonic beasts here had always been at odds with humans, yet Zhang Xuan was able to command a Silver Moon Wolf to fight for him?
Zhang Xuan also realized that something was wrong. When he saw the cultivators walking over, he felt that he might be in trouble this time.
