Wolf-type Soul Beasts are the most troublesome.
Because they understand coordinated combat.
Dozens of Howling Moon Wolves surged like a tide, splitting into two groups.
One group, led by the Wolf King, pounced on the Wind Sword Sect members.
The other group entangled Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's six.
"Damn beasts!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling gritted their teeth.
They were burning with anxiety, not wanting to fight the wolf pack, only thinking of searching for Li Dixian's whereabouts.
With their minds in disarray, battles were prone to flaws.
Moreover, the Howling Moon Wolves were exceptionally fierce, and their attacks were sharp.
Soon, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others were injured, with several new wounds on their bodies.
On the other side, the Wolf King led even more Howling Moon Wolves to hold back the Wind Sword Sect.
Even if the Wind Sword Sect disciples unleashed the Wind Thunder Sword Formation, it was difficult for them to break away and provide assistance for a while.
The wolf pack was cunning, seemingly fighting with everyone.
But their true target had long been locked on: the core of the team, Ye Lingling!
Several Howling Moon Wolves tightened their formation, quietly approaching Ye Lingling, who was protected at the very back.
When they closed in to a fatal distance.
By the time Dugu Yan and the others realized it.
It was already too late!
Several Howling Moon Wolves suddenly pounced on Dugu Yan and the others, pinning them down tightly.
At the same time, a Howling Moon Wolf's eyes revealed a ferocious glint, saliva dripping from its fangs, carrying a strong stench as it lunged at Ye Lingling!
"Lingling, be careful!"
Dugu Yan's five companions shouted in unison.
Soul power surged in their hands, but they couldn't shake off the vicious wolves in front of them.
The foul, pungent wind rushing at her made Ye Lingling's pretty face turn pale.
She stumbled backward, lost her footing, and fell to the ground.
She watched helplessly as the wolf's mouth, stained with bits of flesh, rapidly grew larger in her vision.
Fear made her close her eyes tightly.
Just at this critical moment... everyone except the closed-eyed Ye Lingling saw a streak of light tear through the air, arriving with astonishment.
Its speed was unbelievable.
In an instant, it impaled the Howling Moon Wolf that was pouncing on Ye Lingling to the ground.
Only then.
Did they see clearly.
Piercing the wolf's neck was a sword.
A sword whose blade bloomed with twelve Azure Lotuses.
"This is... the Azure Lotus Sword?!"
Dugu Yan and the others' pupils constricted, the familiar sword's shadow made them cry out in surprise.
Ye Lingling's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
What met her gaze was the corpse of the Howling Moon Wolf, its neck pierced by a sharp sword, blood gushing from its mouth.
She instinctively looked up, her gaze falling on the familiar Azure Lotus Sword, and a brilliant light burst forth from her eyes.
"Li Dixian!"
As her voice fell.
A blood-stained white-robed figure swept out from the vast mountain forest.
"Sister Dugu, Ye Lingling, retreat quickly!"
Hearing Li Dixian's shout and knowing he was safe, a huge weight fell from everyone's hearts, and they no longer had any intention of fighting.
Immediately, their soul power erupted, and they quickly retreated backward.
And at this moment.
Li Dixian had arrived in front of everyone.
Under a series of shocked gazes.
A magnificent Soul Ring, imbued with various elemental powers and emblazoned with twelve sword feathers, rose from beneath his feet.
"Third Spirit Ability — Azure Lotus Twelve Tribulations!"
Buzz—
Buzz—
Twelve Azure Lotus Swords roared out.
Sword light intertwined into a net, trapping the Howling Moon Wolves within.
Of these twelve swords, one was like starlight condensed, dazzling and brilliant; another was like the intertwining of ice and fire, both scorching and icy; the remaining ten were clear as jade marrow, not yet imbued with sword intent.
Within the sword formation.
Sword qi crisscrossed, cutting like an invisible net.
The Howling Moon Wolves trapped within had their snow-white fur instantly dyed red with blood, emitting pained, mournful howls.
They frantically crashed against the cage woven by sword light.
Bang—
Bang—
The twelve Azure Lotus Swords vibrated violently.
Li Dixian's figure was as swift as lightning, sweeping into the sword formation.
The moment he stepped into the sword formation, the light and shadows within the formation shifted, revealing two more Li Dixians.
One held the Starlight Azure Lotus Sword.
One clutched the Ice-Fire Azure Lotus Sword.
The three Li Dixian figures intertwined, sword qi sweeping across all directions.
His movements were so fast that only afterimages remained.
In the eyes of Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others, they only saw the blood-stained white robes fluttering wildly within the sword formation, and sword qi of various attributes sweeping and raging like a storm.
Accompanying this were the mournful howls of the Howling Moon Wolves, and blood and wolf fur splattering everywhere.
This scene!
Left Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others in awe!
Even the Wind Sword Sect members, who were fiercely battling another group of Howling Moon Wolves, were greatly shaken!
"This... what kind of Spirit Ability is this?!"
"A self-forming sword formation?! And it can split into clones with the main body's combat power?!"
After about several tens of breaths.
The blood mist pervading the sword formation gradually thinned, and the scene became clearer.
All that could be seen were the corpses of Howling Moon Wolves everywhere, the scent of blood thick and pungent.
Three blood-stained white-robed figures stood with swords in hand, slowly walking out of the sword formation.
As they walked, the twelve Azure Lotus Swords gradually dissipated, and the two clones also transformed into streams of light, merging back into Li Dixian's body.
"Li... Li Dixian! It's good that you're alright!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling rushed forward, examining him up and down with concern.
Yu Feng, Ao Si Luo, and the Shi Brothers looked at Li Dixian with an almost worshipful, awestruck gaze.
"Idol..."
"This is your Third Spirit Ability!"
"It's terrifying!"
Li Dixian's lips curved slightly, forming a satisfied arc.
He was extremely pleased with this "Azure Lotus Twelve Tribulations."
Most importantly, this was a growth-type Spirit Ability that perfectly suited him.
Currently, he had only comprehended two forms of the Azure Lotus Sword Song and mastered two sword intents, Starlight and Ice-Fire, hence he could only manifest two clones.
As the Azure Lotus Sword Song improved, for every new sword intent he comprehended, he could gain an additional sword intent clone possessing all of the main body's strength.
The power of this Spirit Ability could be called heaven-defying.
It was worthy of being bestowed by a rare beast touched by divine aura.
"Elder Feng Xiao, Brother Buyu, do you need assistance?"
Li Dixian looked at the Wind Sword Sect members who were entangled in battle with the Howling Moon Wolf King.
Boom—!
A deafening roar sounded.
Pfft—
A flash of blood appeared.
The Howling Moon Wolf King's head rolled off in response.
A deep black Soul Ring slowly floated up.
Elder Feng Xiao calmed his turbulent qi and blood, then laughed loudly:
"Thank you for your concern, Young Hero Zhe Xian!"
"Seeing that you are unharmed, this old man is relieved."
"Let this old man absorb this Soul Ring first, then we shall talk more later!"
With that, he sat cross-legged and absorbed the Soul Ring.
Feng Buyu quickly walked up to Li Dixian, unable to hide the admiration in his eyes.
"Brother Zhe Xian, your sword... has become even stronger!"
He did not inquire about the magnificent Soul Ring.
He knew that everyone had their own opportunities and encounters, and it was impolite to inquire rashly.
Li Dixian had a good impression of this polite Young Sect Leader of the Wind Sword Sect, and the two exchanged a few brief words.
Before long.
A majestic and profound soul power aura surged from Elder Feng Xiao's body.
His hair stood on end, the black silk covering his eyes moved without wind, and a sharp, almost tangible edge faintly pierced through.
"Young Hero Zhe Xian!"
Elder Feng Xiao stood tall, his voice resonant.
"It is truly fortunate to have met Young Hero today!"
"This old man and the others will not linger here!"
"If Young Hero is free another day, you are welcome to visit the Wind Sword Sect, and we will sweep the floor to welcome you!"
"Our Sect Leader will certainly be eager to discuss swordsmanship and the Dao with a rising star of the sword like you!"
Saying that, he cupped his hands with his sword, in the manner of a swordsman.
"Farewell!"
The Wind Sword Sect disciples, led by Feng Buyu, also re-wrapped the black silk around their eyes, cupped their hands in unison, their voices clear and strong.
"Farewell!"
Looking at this group of imposing green-robed swordsmen, Li Dixian returned the bow with a smile:
"This one will certainly pay a visit and trouble you in the future!"
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
The sound of wind swept by.
The Wind Sword Sect members moved like the wind.
In a few leaps, they disappeared into the vast forest.
Li Dixian turned around, a relaxed smile on his face.
"Let's go, the mission is complete."
"This trip to Star Dou has been hard on everyone."
"When we return to Heaven Dou City, I'll treat everyone to a good meal."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's pretty faces bloomed with bright smiles.
Although this journey had its twists and turns.
Li Dixian being safe and sound was the best outcome.
Yu Feng's eyebrows danced with excitement.
"Then I'll have to eat my fill and make my idol poor."
Ao Si Luo habitually gave him a tap on the head.
"You did the least work, yet you're thinking about eating?"
"Hey! You motherf***er Ao Si Luo, I think you're asking for a beating again..."
Yu Feng feigned anger.
The two immediately started bickering.
Seeing this, the Shi Brothers joined the "battle" with hearty laughs, clearly taking sides.
Li Dixian, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling exchanged glances, all unable to hold back their laughter.
And just as Li Dixian and the seven set off to return to Heaven Dou City.
Soto City.
Zhu Zhuqing returned to Shrek Academy, travel-stained...
