In their first encounter, Xiao Ding's hands were left with very gruesome wounds.
The Wildfire Wolf King's claws tore Xiao Ding's arms open, blood splattering instantly, and the intense pain almost made Xiao Ding faint.
Xiao Ding let out a painful roar, and his whole body flew off the ground like a kite with a broken string. He crashed heavily onto the gravel ground more than ten meters away, and rolled several more meters before coming to a stop.
The violent shock made his vision go black, as if his internal organs had shifted. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and could no longer suppress it. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground in front of him red.
Xiao Ding's fighting spirit was thrown into chaos by this sudden and severe injury, almost collapsing. He lay on the ground, each breath aggravating his wounds, bringing tearing pain. Even turning over became extremely difficult, his vision blurred and swaying, with only the figure of the Fire Wolf King constantly approaching.
On the cliff, the scarred, burly man watched as Xiao Ding was blasted away by a single blow, collapsing to the ground coughing up blood. A smug, satisfied smile finally appeared on his usually tense face.
"It's done!"
The others also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces revealing undisguised cruel smiles. The tall, thin man rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Hehe, this beast has finally figured it out! One more hit, and this kid will be completely finished!"
The burly man nodded: "The last blow was delivered by the Wildfire Wolf. This guy doesn't even have our battle qi on him. Once the wolf bites him, even a Battle Emperor wouldn't be able to tell anything."
Just as the Wildfire Wolf King confirmed that the humans had no intention of attacking and continued to approach Xiao Ding without any surprise, about to make its move, a streak of purplish-red light pierced through the sky from the distant horizon. The light was so large and fast that even the eyes of several burly men were involuntarily drawn to it.
"Big brother, I'm here!"
A roar filled with urgency and rage suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, accompanied by the approaching streak of light.
Xiao Ding was severely injured from excessive exertion, and his consciousness was already somewhat blurred. The call he heard made his chapped lips move involuntarily; he even felt it was just a hallucination before his death…
The next moment, the purplish-red streak of light arrived, crashing down between the Wolf King and Xiao Ding, stirring up a cloud of dust. As the dust settled, a slender yet upright figure, as straight as a spear, clearly emerged—it was Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's gaze immediately fell on the dying Xiao Ding, whose pitiful appearance deeply pained him.
The Wildfire Wolf King felt an extremely terrifying pressure from Xiao Yan, which made it instinctively want to escape, but its biting motion had already been made and there was no time to retract it.
The next moment, Xiao Yan threw a punch at the ferocious wolf head. It was a simple and straightforward punch, but it shattered the space in front of him and landed on the body of the Wildfire Wolf King with lightning speed.
puff--
A muffled explosion rang out, and the Wildfire Wolf King, nearly two people tall, was reduced to a cloud of blood mist at a speed visible to the naked eye, without even having a chance to howl under Xiao Yan's punch!
"die!"
Xiao Yan was furious at this moment, furious because his elder brother's life was threatened, so he had to kill to vent his anger!
The Heavenly Realm's soul power shot out, and the wolf-like demonic beasts, one after another, couldn't withstand this terrifying attack. Like the wolf king, their soul power was completely overwhelmed, turning them into clouds of blood mist that exploded on the spot, bursting into crimson blood flowers in the air. At this moment, a massive amount of bloody stench instantly filled the valley.
All of this happened within two breaths of Xiao Yan's appearance; all the magical beasts had been completely cleared out by him.
Xiao Yan didn't even glance at the remains of the demonic beasts. Instead, he immediately turned back to Xiao Ding's side. Lu Qing, who had followed Xiao Yan, immediately helped Xiao Ding up. However, Xiao Ding was seriously injured and his life was in danger.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately ordered, "Sister-in-law, let me do it!"
Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan's Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies appeared. Xiao Yan's main body supported Xiao Ding from behind, and gentle Dou Qi directly entered Xiao Ding's body. He had to protect his elder brother's heart meridian and forcefully stabilize this last breath. Xiao Yan's expression was extremely solemn, and he dared not relax in the slightest.
The Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body then took out a seventh-grade healing pill from its storage ring. Xiao Ding's strength was only at the peak of the Dou Ling realm, and he couldn't directly absorb any of the pills Xiao Yan was carrying. Xiao Yan had to do something. At the very least, he had to control the medicinal power himself so that Xiao Ding could absorb it smoothly.
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the five people above. In fact, they had sensed Xiao Yan's appearance the moment he appeared, but before they could do anything, the one-sided and devastating massacre below had already ended!
"Who is this guy?"
"They're quite strong!"
At this moment, everyone was waiting for the scarred, burly man's orders. Under their scheme, Xiao Ding's life was already a foregone conclusion. Xiao Yan's sudden appearance completely ruined their flawlessly planned accident.
What's even more critical is that none of them, including the strongest scarred man at the head, could discern the true strength level of the young man who had suddenly appeared below.
The scarred, burly man frowned deeply, his mind in turmoil. The reason was simple: he hadn't discerned Xiao Yan's strength either. The crucial point was that Xiao Yan was standing right next to Xiao Ding's wife, whom they had tricked into giving to the Scorpion Demon Trio. How could she possibly be here!
Could it be that the person in front of me saved him? If he can snatch someone from the hands of the three scorpion demons, then what is his strength?
The burly man with the scar dared not think any further, only feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Big brother, what about us?" Faced with the scarred, burly man's silence, the remaining four waited for his answer.
The scarred, burly man's gaze was fixed on the retreating figure of the young man below, who was focused on rescuing people. Normally, he might have chosen to retreat for safety. However, this mission involved someone they absolutely could not afford to offend, and the price was so high that they could hardly refuse. He felt the consequences of mission failure were utterly unbearable, and with that thought, he had his answer.
"Give it a try!" the scarred burly man ordered through gritted teeth. They had accepted the mission, and there was no way they could be scared away by Xiao Yan's sudden appearance.
