"Hmm?"
"Hmm?"
"Awoo?"
The four humans and the wolf in the valley all froze.
"Big dog?"
Was it referring to the wolf demon?
Who was crazy enough to call this fearsome creature a "dog"?
"Roar!"
The wolf demon let out a furious roar. A vile wind swept through the valley, and its terrifying aura flattened a dozen trees in an instant.
"It's terrifying!"
Among the four below, the only girl turned pale and was on the verge of tears.
"Damn it, it's enraged now! You all, run away!" Uncle Wu bellowed, forcing his injured body to prepare for a desperate last stand.
But just then—
"Whoosh!"
From the top of the valley, the figure leapt down directly.
"What? Jumping from that height—is he a Void Traversing Realm expert?"
Uncle Wu froze for a moment, a trace of hope flashing across his face.
If it was a Void Traversing Realm expert, there might be a chance to survive!
However, his hopes were quickly dashed.
"Wait! He isn't slowing down! He's not flying—he's just jumping... Is he trying to kill himself?"
"Boom!"
With a deafening crash, the figure landed heavily on the ground. Dust and debris flew everywhere, and the valley trembled under the impact.
All four of them were stunned.
From the dust cloud came a casual voice, sounding oddly satisfied.
"Hmm, way more exciting than bungee jumping!"
As the dust settled, the figure slowly emerged.
It was none other than Luo Tian!
"What? He's unscathed after falling from that height?"
Uncle Wu stared at Luo Tian in utter shock.
Luo Tian dusted off his clothes nonchalantly. His eyes scanned the four humans before settling on the wolf demon. He tilted his head, puzzled.
"Up close, it looks even bigger... Let me ask—uh, is this thing a divine beast?"
Uncle Wu blinked in confusion before hurriedly replying, "Uh... This is a Blackwind Wolf Demon, a demon beast, not a divine beast."
"Oh." Luo Tian nodded, disappointment flashing across his face. "Figures. My luck couldn't be that good... So it's just a demon beast. Scram!"
He waved his hand dismissively as if shooing away a stray dog.
The sight left everyone—humans and wolf alike—completely bewildered.
Especially Uncle Wu, who looked utterly dumbfounded.
A demon beast—a Spirit Transformation Realm one at that, capable of dominating the region—was being treated like some ordinary mutt?
"Human brat..."
The wolf demon finally snapped. Its gaze burned with killing intent as it growled deeply at Luo Tian.
"Holy crap, it can talk?" Luo Tian's eyes lit up in astonishment, his face full of curiosity.
"I'll tear you to pieces..."
"Whoa, it really talks! Did you guys hear that?" Luo Tian turned to Uncle Wu, excitement written all over his face.
Uncle Wu coughed awkwardly, muttering under his breath, "Spirit Transformation Realm beasts gain intelligence. Talking is normal for them... But that's not the point right now! Young man, this wolf is too strong! You should run! I'll hold it off!"
Dragging his battered body, Uncle Wu stumbled toward Luo Tian.
But the wolf demon wasn't about to wait. Its enormous claw rose high and smashed down at Luo Tian with all its might!
"Young man—!" Uncle Wu roared in despair, shutting his eyes tightly, unwilling to witness the scene.
However...
After the rush of wind, the valley fell into an eerie silence.
"Uncle Wu, look!"
The girl's trembling voice broke the stillness, her face a mix of fear and astonishment.
Uncle Wu opened his eyes slowly, his gaze locking onto Luo Tian.
Luo Tian stood in the same spot, his posture entirely unchanged. The only difference was that a massive wolf claw now rested on his shoulder. The wolf demon's strike had failed to move him even an inch!
"How... how is this possible?"
Uncle Wu was completely dumbfounded.
The force of a Spirit Transformation Realm wolf demon's attack, capable of shattering boulders, had been no more effective than striking a steel wall—it hadn't even left a mark!
Luo Tian slowly turned his head, his expression turning icy cold. His voice was laced with menace.
"You damn mutt... You dared to hit me?"
"Whimper..."
The wolf demon shuddered violently, its fur standing on end. Luo Tian's gaze filled it with primal terror, as if it were facing a god of death.
Its instincts screamed at it—the human before it wasn't normal; he was a monster!
"Run..."
That was the wolf demon's sole thought.
"Whoosh!"
Without a second's hesitation, it turned tail and bolted, fleeing the valley in a panic.
"Ah?"
At this moment, the others in the valley were stunned.
Just moments ago, they had been desperately fleeing from the wolf demon, and Uncle Wu had even been prepared to sacrifice himself so the others could escape.
Yet, this mighty wolf demon had been reduced to this state by a mere glance from this young man?
"Could he be some kind of hidden expert?" Uncle Wu couldn't help but think to himself.
Meanwhile, the wolf demon was fleeing in a panic.
However, Luo Tian's eyes flashed coldly, and he snorted.
Whoosh!
In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot.
Tian Dao Body Technique!
The next moment, he appeared right in front of the wolf demon.
"Howl?"
The wolf demon was startled by the sudden change, its hind legs buckling, nearly causing it to collapse on the ground.
"What... what kind of magic is this? How did this person appear in front of me so suddenly?" The wolf demon was filled with dread, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
What it didn't know was that Luo Tian had used the Tian Dao Body Technique, a powerful skill close to teleportation!
"Dragon Fist, First Strike!"
Luo Tian shouted coldly as he clenched his fist.
Clang!
A resonating sound rang out, and a phantom dragon image appeared around his fist, exuding immense pressure.
Whoosh!
The terrifying aura swept through the air, causing the atmosphere in the valley to seem to freeze.
Death!
In that moment, the wolf demon felt that its fate was sealed: it was about to be crushed into dust by this punch!
There was no chance for resistance.
"Thud!"
The wolf demon suddenly collapsed to the ground, its hind legs kneeling, its head repeatedly knocking against the ground with a loud clanging sound.
"Senior, spare me! Senior, please spare me!" The wolf demon cried out, completely losing its previous fierceness.
Seeing this, Uncle Wu and the others were completely petrified.
"Uncle Wu, am I still dreaming?" A young man rubbed his eyes in confusion.
"No... I don't think so." Uncle Wu gulped, his voice trembling.
"A wolf demon at the Transformation Realm, and it's begging for mercy... I must be losing my mind," the young man muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Luo Tian furrowed his brows slightly, his clenched fist slowly relaxing, a trace of surprise on his face.
"Your reaction... is pretty quick." He said calmly, then casually waved his hand, making the dragon-shaped aura dissipate into nothingness.
"Phew..."
The wolf demon sensed the pressure lifting and let out a breath, as though it had just escaped the gates of hell.
"Senior, it was my fault! I truly apologize! Please, senior, spare my life!" The wolf demon begged, its voice tinged with a sob.
Luo Tian crossed his arms and looked down at it, his tone calm but filled with intimidation: "I have a question for you. Are you a local demon of Tiandang Mountain?"
"A local demon?"
Uncle Wu and the others exchanged glances, feeling confused by Luo Tian's question.
"Y-Yes, senior, I was born here," the wolf demon answered cautiously.
"Good." Luo Tian nodded and then asked, "Are there any divine beasts in Tiandang Mountain?"
"Divine beasts?"
The wolf demon's eyes instantly narrowed, showing signs of wariness and unease.
Seeing this, Luo Tian's brows furrowed, and he clenched his fist again. The aura of the Dragon Fist reappeared: "If you don't know, then die."
"Wait, wait! I know! I know!" The wolf demon immediately began frantically kowtowing, shouting in desperation.
Hearing this, Luo Tian's face lit up with joy. "Good! Then take me there!"
With that, he leapt lightly and landed on the wolf demon's back.
"Everyone, it's been a pleasure!" Luo Tian turned around and waved to Uncle Wu and the others, looking completely carefree.
The wolf demon, bearing him with a mixture of resentment and fear, sped off.
Only Uncle Wu and the others remained in place, dumbfounded.
"Is he... an immortal?" The young woman murmured, her voice filled with shock and confusion.
