Fang Yuan's mind stirred. The Night Wolf Ten Thousand Beast King, leading over a dozen Night Wolf Thousand Beast Kings, entered the fray, blocking the Yan family members.
Under the wolf pack's assault, the Yan family Gu Masters suffered their first casualties.
Wolf Howl Gu!
Fang Yuan looked up to the sky and howled like a wolf. Within the range of the howl, the combat power of the wolf pack skyrocketed.
Wolf Smoke Gu!
Immediately, he released billowing smoke that covered the battlefield, swiftly healing the wolves' injuries.
The members of the Yan family were all horrified.
Even Hao Ji Liu, the Water Demon, had a face as pale as paper.
Earlier, Fang Yuan was merely directing the battle. Now, with this sudden strike, he instantly turned his advantage into a winning momentum.
Dozens of gazes filled with hatred, fear, anger, and coldness shot toward Fang Yuan. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Yuan smiled faintly, tugging his Camel Wolf as he slowly retreated, creating distance between himself and the Yan family.
In order to prevent the enemy's decapitation tactic, Fang Yuan kept a large pack of wolves around him, including a White-eyed Wolf. Although it was not yet fully mature, its combat strength already surpassed that of an ordinary Thousand Wolf King.
Seeing Fang Yuan's move, the besieged Gu Masters felt their hearts sink to rock bottom. Their morale scattered, replaced by the feeling that they had fallen into a demon's clutches, an inescapable doom.
Time slowly passed. The Yan family Gu Masters were as if stuck in a swamp; the harder they struggled, the deeper they sank.
One after another, the Yan family Elders died tragically on the battlefield. An air of grief and indignation shrouded the center of the battlefield.
"Chang Shan Yin! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!" an Elder roared, cursing him before his death.
But this curse only earned a cold sneer in Fang Yuan's heart. "You won't have the chance to become a ghost. Your soul will be the nourishment I use to irrigate the Shaking Soul Mountain."
"Wolf King! If you've got the balls, fight me one-on-one!" the Yan family War Hall Elder bellowed.
"Come on, you coward! You chicken!" He did his utmost to provoke Fang Yuan, channeling the last of his Primeval Essence to launch the final charge of his life.
Fang Yuan watched expressionlessly. With a single thought, the wolf pack surged forward like a wave, extinguishing the War Hall Elder's tragic charge.
After the pack dispersed, his mangled corpse lay on the ground. White bones pierced through the skin. Blood gushed out. His furious eyes glared fiercely at the sky.
"War Hall Elder..." Yan Tianji let out a low roar, his entire body trembling. With each Elder sacrificed, intense grief struck his heart, wave after wave. By now, it had left him nearly numb.
"Chang Shan Yin! You will die a horrible death! You are unworthy of being a righteous hero, daring to scheme against your own comrades! You will come to a bad end! Young Master Liu Wenwu will surely avenge us!" Yan Tianji's face was twisted with hatred. If he could, he would eat every inch of Fang Yuan's flesh and drink every drop of his blood.
"Hmph. The roar of a loser is like the dying howl of a stray dog. Placing your hopes on others for revenge is the mentality of the weak." Fang Yuan coldly commented, then waved his hand. The Night Wolf Ten Thousand Beast King shot forward like a black bolt of lightning, crashing into Yan Tianji and sending him flying.
Yan Tianji's Primeval Essence was completely exhausted. The impact shattered his bones.
He flew far into the distance like a kite with its string cut, drawing a line of blood in the air. When he landed, the entire front half of his body was crushed, completely lifeless.
"My Lord!" Ge Guang led a group of Elders over, excited.
"The Wolf King is formidable! After this battle, the upper echelons of the Yan family are completely wiped out. In the Yan family camp, only a single Rank 3 Elder is left to manage the situation. The Message Gu sent by Yan Tianji and the others have all been intercepted by us. The Yan family is completely in the dark. This is the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack!" the Ge family's War Hall Elder cheered.
"It's just a pity that Hao Ji Liu, the Water Demon, escaped. Lord Wolf King, do you think we should continue the pursuit of the Water Demon, or launch a surprise attack on the Yan family camp?" Ge Guang asked.
Fang Yuan let out an indifferent laugh. "Naturally, we directly attack the Yan family camp."
A Clam Gu, spinning its body, moved swiftly through Crescent Moon Lake.
Puff!
The clam suddenly burst out of the water, its shells opening wide to spit out the two people hiding inside.
The two were a man and a woman. The man was precisely Hao Ji Liu, the Water Demon. The woman was the Yan family's eldest young lady, Yan Cui'er.
"Huff... huff... huff..." Hao Ji Liu gasped for breath, looking behind him with lingering fear. When he saw no pursuers, his heart eased slightly.
This was a floating island in Crescent Moon Lake. Hao Ji Liu had chosen this as his third escape route when he surveyed the terrain.
"Wolf King, Chang Shan Yin..." Hao Ji Liu kept chewing over this name in his heart. A complex expression flickered in his eyes, a mix of hatred, shame, anger, fear, and dread.
From the start of his career until now, this was the first time he had suffered such a huge loss.
