Section 100: Decapitation
This was Chu Yun’s all-out strike, a strike like no other.
With this strike, blood splattered, and heads flew.
With this strike, spirit light vanished, and spiritual pressure dissipated.
He had slain the Greedy Wolf King with a single decapitating blow!
The previously incandescent spirit light suddenly disappeared without a trace. The immense pressure, like that of endless mountains and imposing peaks, also vanished abruptly, causing the hearts and organs of the four people present to churn uncomfortably.
At this moment, the scene fell into silence.
The Taotie, White-Eyed Wolf, and other Tribulation Demons turned their heads, staring at Chu Yun, utterly stunned.
Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan collapsed onto the ground, their bodies still maintaining the stubborn posture of resisting spiritual pressure. At this very moment, their mouths hung open, speechless.
In their vision, Chu Yun remained frozen in the pose of his blade strike, like a sculpture, unmoving.
The Greedy Wolf King, who had stood tall like a divine being, was now headless.
His head lay not far away, its eyes still open, his face frozen in an expression of disbelief and horror.
His body, however, remained upright, spurting streams of blood from its neck. Soon, the blood stained his clothes and flowed onto the ground. A pungent and heavy scent of blood quickly spread, filling the small space.
“He’s… gone?” After a long while, Chu Yun finally came to his senses, realizing the outcome.
An extreme sense of exhaustion instantly enveloped him, making him sway unsteadily, almost compelled to lie down and sleep for a hundred years.
*Thump.*
He finally lost his strength, falling to one knee, gripping his Drunken Snow Saber and propping himself up, panting heavily.
“Did I really kill him?” Even Chu Yun himself could hardly believe it. As his entire body and mind relaxed, sweat began to pour out.
Almost instantly, he was drenched in sweat, his entire body glistening.
With the death of the Greedy Wolf King, the physical strength he had accumulated lost its external pressure and dissipated as sweat.
In that battle, he had truly pushed himself to his absolute limit, pouring in every ounce of his spirit, energy, and will.
To replicate that strike again would be utterly impossible.
“Yun, you did it,” Jin Bihan murmured softly, breaking the silence. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, flowing down as tears of joy.
“Sect Leader!” Xiao Xiaoxian cried out, tears also blurring his vision.
The scene before him was deeply etched into his mind. He vowed he would never forget it.
Chu Yun knelt on one knee, ragged in appearance, gasping for breath. The Greedy Wolf King’s headless corpse, however, still stood tall on the ground, straight as a spear, its regal bearing and power still evident even in death!
But the victor was Chu Yun, not the Greedy Wolf King!
What an unbelievable feat!
What an astonishing result!
Compared to the Greedy Wolf King, Chu Yun was like a mouse facing a colossal elephant. The difference in their strength was immense. Yet, now, the colossal elephant had fallen, and the mouse had survived.
This achievement was truly unprecedented!
Never before had anyone with the cultivation of a Jun level managed to kill a King level expert. Throughout the history of Xingzhou, there had been no such case.
No, now there was.
“Ha, we won,” Erlang Tian Jun said, and then his vision went black as he collapsed, completely unconscious. He had severely injured himself, both mentally and physically, from using his Divine Path Techniques and bearing half of the spiritual pressure for Chu Yun, and could no longer hold on.
Chu Yun also wished he could faint, to escape from everything.
His vision was swimming with stars, his body was trembling, and the intense dizziness made him doubt if he could last another moment.
But he had to endure.
Though the Greedy Wolf King was dead, he still had Tribulation Demons present.
“You actually killed our master!” the Taotie spoke with its mouth, its voice filled with shock. It still couldn’t process what had happened.
“Master Greedy Wolf King is dead? Is this all a dream?!” The White-Eyed Wolf felt like its mind was a mess.
“You, a mere Jun level, actually killed my master. I will avenge my master!” One Tribulation Demon gritted its teeth, its eyes red with rage.
“Oh? Then come and try…” Chu Yun gritted his teeth, mustering his last remaining strength, and shakily stood up.
The Tribulation Demons before him couldn’t help but retreat in unison.
Logically speaking, Chu Yun was completely exhausted, his Soul depleted, and his spirit light dimmed to the extreme. He should have had no imposing aura at all.
Yet, the Greedy Wolf King’s Tribulation Demons were all wary, daring not to act rashly.
“This brat is too strange. He actually killed Master Greedy Wolf King. Unbelievable! Unbelievable!” another Tribulation Demon exclaimed.
“I’m leaving. I’m free now. If you want revenge, do it yourselves.” One Tribulation Demon immediately fled on the spot.
With one leading the way, a large portion of the Tribulation Demons quickly departed.
“I will eat you!” the Taotie roared, its ferocity uncontainable, and charged towards Chu Yun.
However, in the next moment, several beams of strange light shot out from Chu Yun’s Immortal Pouch. The Blissful Immortal Consorts formed the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, directly capturing the Taotie. The Sky Fox then voluntarily entered the formation to confront the Taotie.
“I will follow you.” The White-Eyed Wolf voluntarily lowered its head, pledging allegiance to Chu Yun at this moment. “You defeated the former master, and I, the White-Eyed Wolf, will only follow the strong.”
Chu Yun was not surprised at all. The White-Eyed Wolf, true to its name, was a Demonic Beast with extremely low loyalty.
“Then you shall roam the world with me.” Chu Yun nodded, swallowed an Upper grade Pill to restore his spiritual power, and then, with this wolf, he temporarily signed an alliance Contract.
“Roar!” The last remaining Tribulation Demon, seeing that revenge was hopeless, could only let out a roar of unwillingness and then quickly fled the scene.
With its departure, the wild Demonic Beast hordes, which had been held back by the Greedy Wolf King’s spiritual pressure, once again moved in to surround them.
Chu Yun summoned Jianmu, and with the newly allied White-Eyed Wolf and Xiao Xiaoxian’s Treasure Hunting Rat, they occupied the strategic points, barely holding back the onslaught of the Demonic Beasts.
Meanwhile, he, Jin Bihan, and Xiao Xiaoxian immediately began taking Pills, racing against time to recover.
Three minutes later, Chu Yun was the first to open his eyes. His injuries had not yet healed, of course. But he was able to muster a faint spirit light and successfully signed a Contract with the Greedy Wolf King’s Upper grade Immortal Pouch, the Heaven Swallowing Bag.
The Contract signing went smoothly.
The moment he slew the Greedy Wolf King, Chu Yun comprehended his own Dao. He had now been promoted to Marquis level.
Although his Marquis level spirit light was extremely dim at the moment, it represented a qualitative change.
Five minutes later, Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan stood up and both entered the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation.
Chu Yun then joined them again.
After a battle where every second counted, the Taotie, unable to escape the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, was subjected to constant attacks from Chu Yun, Jin Bihan, and Xiao Xiaoxian’s Demonic creatures. It was finally weakened by the Treasure Light Obscuring Dust Spell, and then Chu Yun used the Heaven Burst Pill to amplify the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, barely managing to suppress it.
Just before the Dragon Gate World closed, Chu Yun dispelled the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, collecting all the Demonic creatures into his possession. Simultaneously, he grabbed Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan’s arms, while Xiao Xiaoxian held onto Erlang Tian Jun.
*Boom!*
Everything blurred in their vision, a moment of dizziness. When they opened their eyes again, they found the four of them in a desolate wilderness.
