Zhu Qilue froze, the corner of his eye twitching hard as he sucked in a sharp breath.
He snapped his head up and stared at the Blood Demon Wolves in shock and disbelief!
Only to see.
The Blood Demon Wolves that had been closing in on them step by step... actually stopped!
And then.
They疑惑ly turned their heads to look back, as if they’d spotted so uninvited guest, baring their fangs one by one, faces twisted and eyes vicious with rage.
We’re saved!
A thought burst into Zhu Qilue’s mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
But he still couldn’t be sure what had happened.
The only thing he could confirm was that the Blood Demon Wolves’ attention had been drawn away. Sothing or soone must be approaching, that’s why the wolves had shifted their focus off them!
"Ling’er... Ling’er, we’re saved... we’re not at the end of the road yet... hang in there, you have to hang in there. In a bit your brother will get you out of here, I will never let you die." Zhu Qilue’s voice quivered with excitent as he held the unconscious Zhu Ruoling tightly, his whole body trembling.
Zhu Ruoling’s eyes were tightly shut, like she was just asleep.
But it was as if she’d heard Zhu Qilue’s words; her eyelashes trembled ever so slightly, like she was answering him.
"Miss Lan! Miss Lan!"
He called out twice in excitent, but realized Lan Yunwei didn’t respond. He was stunned for a mont, then whipped his head around, only to see Lan Yunwei with her hands clasped to her chest, eyes closed, lips moving in a constant murmur, still praying, not hearing his shout at all.
Zhu Qilue had no choice but to raise his voice, barking out coldly.
"Miss Lan!"
Lan Yunwei’s body finally trembled. She opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Qilue.
"Your prayers worked! Seems like soone’s heading this way!" Zhu Qilue said excitedly.
"Huh?" Lan Yunwei was a bit dumbfounded, not understanding what Zhu Qilue was talking about.
Zhu Qilue jerked his chin anxiously toward the front and said urgently, "Your prayers worked, Lin Fan really ca to save us! If you don’t believe , you..."
He spoke while lifting his head to look toward the front.
And then he froze.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
His head buzzed, going completely blank.
All the Blood Demon Wolves had turned their heads, staring straight at him, scarlet eyes like they were bleeding.
Because he’d just shouted too loud, the Blood Demon Wolves whose attention had already shifted... were attracted back again.
The wolves shifted their gaze back, staring at them without blinking. This ti they were even more ferocious, more savage, more terrifying than before!
Thump!
Zhu Qilue and Lan Yunwei’s hearts both shuddered violently, their throats bobbing as they kept gulping.
"Shit... I called you too loud just now and dragged these beasts back again..."
"Th-then what do we do now? Who’s the one coming to save us?"
"Don’t know... I just saw the Blood Demon Wolves acting weird and guessed soone was coming..."
"Huh? Then... what if it’s not Lin Fan?"
"Even if it’s not Lin Fan, as long as it distracts the wolves, we can use the chance to escape. You were right just now, I shouldn’t have slumped and given up. Even if I die, I have to get you two out of here."
Zhu Qilue took a deep breath, frowned hard, and fixed his cold gaze on the Blood Demon Wolves in front of him.
Those wolves had just heard the noise and had slightly shifted their attention. But when they heard Zhu Qilue’s voice, the pack locked their eyes on the three of them again.
They seed to think these three were prey already in their hands, so they might as well kill them first and then deal with whatever was making the noise.
So.
None of the Blood Demon Wolves turned around. They continued walking toward Zhu Qilue and the others; only this ti their steps clearly sped up a lot, because they also knew there probably wasn’t much ti left.
The corner of Zhu Qilue’s eye twitched violently.
He carefully stretched out his hand, reaching toward the longsword on the ground.
He could feel the danger closing in as well. These Blood Demon Wolves clearly intended to finish off the three of them first.
That plan he’d just thought of—to escape in the chaos—died before it even started.
Now there was only one way—hold out!
Hold on until soone ca to save them. As long as they could endure, there would definitely be a chance!
Bang, bang—
Bang, bang—
His ears seed to pick up sounds as well, like human footsteps, and judging from the sound, there were quite a few people coming!
Zhu Qilue was overjoyed!
But after that brief flash of happiness, he still had to face the crisis right before his eyes.
Countless Blood Demon Wolves were closing in. He had to knock these beasts back, at least hold them off for three breaths!
Whoosh—
He exhaled heavily and lowered his voice. "Miss Lan, I’m entrusting Ling’er to you. If sothing happens to , you must take her out of here and find the best doctor for her. If you really can’t get out... it’s fine. I’ll definitely carve a path open for you two. And you heard the footsteps, right? Soone’s coming. You and Ling’er will definitely make it out alive. When the ti cos, please tell Lin Fan to take care of my sister from then on."
"Young Master Zhu..." Lan Yunwei didn’t know what to say. Zhu Qilue had already carefully placed Zhu Ruoling into her arms.
Suddenly!
Zhu Qilue reached out, grabbed the longsword in his hand, and sprang to his feet, facing down the countless Blood Demon Wolves head‑on.
"Co on then, you bunch of beasts! I’ll show you what I can do. Don’t even think about hurting my sister! Bring it on!"
Awooo— awooo— awooo—
Provoked by Zhu Qilue, the Blood Demon Wolves’ fighting spirit was lit as well. They stretched their necks and howled, the sound shaking the sky, enough to chill the soul.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Like they’d fallen into eternal night; even their breathing slowed.
The Blood Demon Wolves lowered their bodies slightly, growls rumbling from their throats, ready to pounce on Zhu Qilue at any mont.
Zhu Qilue was alone, but he didn’t feel even a shred of fear.
He knew.
If he stepped back, Zhu Ruoling and Lan Yunwei behind him would have to face the Blood Demon Wolves head‑on.
So.
He absolutely could not retreat!
The lost, broken Zhu Qilue from just now was gone!
The Zhu Qilue now was seething with killing intent, his fury soaring to the heavens!
Because he had hope now, a chance for Zhu Ruoling to live. Even if it was just a sliver, he was going to throw everything he had into this fight, to claw out a chance for Zhu Ruoling to survive!
"Co on!"
He glared, eyes bulging, facial features twisted, baring his teeth as he roared. In that instant, an overwhelming aura erupted from his body.
Flas erupted, roaring around him!
In a flash he was bathed in firelight, like he was wrapped in Hell’s netherflas!
Burning the Void itself!
He was going to make every single Blood Demon Wolf suffocate, turn every last one of these bastards into roast wolf at!
"I just happen to be starving. I’m turning you all into barbecue and stuffing myself! You eat ? I’m gonna eat you! Don’t know if anyone in the Five Elents Realm has tried your at before—if not, I’ll be the first!"
"Wildfire!"
Bang!
A violent shockwave burst out from Zhu Qilue’s body, wreathed in raging flas, blasting outward like several tons of explosives going off, creating an unimaginably powerful impact!
Of course.
He had already set an Array around Lan Yunwei and Zhu Qilue, so they wouldn’t be scorched or burned.
Boom—
The savage shockwave surged out, instantly blasting the frontmost Blood Demon Wolves into pieces!
They turned directly into a cloud of blood mist!
