The wolf charged forward, forcing Mo Xie to abandon the summoning seal he was forming. Instead, he quickly drew the sword he had just stored in his ring and blocked the wolf's claws with it, the sound of metal clashing ringing in his ears.
Mo Xie noticed that the wolf's claws glinted with a cold light, sharp as metal.
Seeing Mo Xie engaged in battle with the wolf, Luo Yan and Xu Qingfeng paused for a moment, preparing to assist him against the beast.
However, Mo Xie shouted at them urgently, "You all need to leave! The ordinary Azure Wolves behind us are fast and will catch up soon. If we get surrounded by the pack again, we won't have the strength to break free. Don't waste our previous efforts!"
"But..." Luo Yan hesitated. Although he was an Evil Cultivator, he wasn't the type to abandon his friends and run away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been threatened by the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Xu Qingfeng felt even more strongly about this. While he had never used his status as a disciple of the righteous sect to pressure others, he took pride in being a disciple of the Righteous Path's foremost sect. It would be dishonorable for him to leave his companions behind.
Seeing their reactions, Mo Xie grew anxious and cursed under his breath. Was this really the time for pleasantries? The wolf pack was closing in fast; one had already caught up and was dealt with by him.
"Get moving! I'll draw this alpha wolf away! If we get surrounded by the pack again, it will be over!" Mo Xie shouted in frustration.
They were already exhausted from their previous escape and bore claw marks from the Azure Wolves, looking like refugees covered in blood and dirt. They were in no condition to break through another encirclement.
Even during their last escape, they had only taken down about ten or twenty Azure Wolves, while this entire pack numbered over a hundred. Mo Xie noticed that with each howl from the alpha wolf, more Azure Wolves were arriving; who knew how many there were?
As Mo Xie shouted desperately, he activated his Fleeting Light skill to increase his speed. The wolves seemed particularly fast; if he didn't pick up his pace, he would struggle to keep up.
However, much to Mo Xie's dismay, the Fleeting Light skill was also affected; although his speed increased slightly, it was barely noticeable.
"We need to go! Mo Xie is right; we can't let our previous efforts go to waste. Besides, we don't know what's happening inside the hall. There are still many people from both righteous and evil paths in the Demon Tomb—these are all variables. A swarm of ants can take down an elephant; we don't know what kind of changes those people will bring once they enter the hall."
Luo Yan gritted his teeth and said to Xu Qingfeng before picking up Xiao Chi. A faint black spiritual energy enveloped him as he sped toward Mo Xie's direction.
"This..." Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment when suddenly an Azure Wolf lunged at him. In his moment of doubt, he almost got bitten on the neck but managed to react just in time. He swung his sword lightly and successfully blocked the Azure Wolf's attack.
"Let's just go with what Brother Luo said!" Xu Qingfeng said helplessly, suddenly quickening his pace. His feet moved like a wisp of blue breeze, allowing him to run a bit faster.
This was originally a powerful technique in the cultivation world; it could easily allow one to traverse mountains, rivers, and even cross over a small country within the cultivation realm. However, here, it merely helped him run a little faster.
Ling Mo Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the others leave. He focused on dealing with the head wolf in front of him. For some reason, the Azure Wolf that had chased after them did not attack Ling Mo Xie but instead pursued Xu Qingfeng and the others. Perhaps it was because Ling Mo Xie was the head wolf's opponent. However, Ling Mo Xie couldn't believe that a wild beast would have any sense of honor. Seeing the Azure Wolf pack rushing toward him like a fierce wind, he quickly turned and ran away with the head wolf, defending against its attacks while having no time to counterattack.
The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously as Ling Mo Xie's hand holding the sword began to tremble. Damn it, this head wolf was not only fast but also incredibly powerful; its speed made its attacks heavy and forceful. After enduring so many strikes, Ling Mo Xie felt his wrist starting to give way.
Fortunately, perhaps because the head wolf was just an animal or perhaps due to its confidence in itself, it continued to chase Ling Mo Xie without commanding the other Azure Wolves to change direction. Instead, it focused solely on pursuing Ling Mo Xie while the wolf pack continued after Xu Qingfeng and the others.
Ling Mo Xie wasn't worried about Xu Qingfeng and his group; the other Azure Wolves clearly lacked the intelligence of this head wolf. All their previous actions had been under the head wolf's command, and aside from following its orders, they would only attack instinctively.
Xu Qingfeng and his group had already escaped from the encirclement of the Azure Wolves. As long as they were not surrounded again by the pack, getting away from them would be no problem at all.
However, Ling Mo Xie soon found himself too occupied to worry about Xu Qingfeng and his companions; after all, he had his own survival to consider.
The head wolf was even more formidable than Ling Mo Xie had imagined. Its continuous attacks not only made Ling Mo Xie's hand tremble but also left him with no opportunity to summon Big White.
This head wolf might be comparable to a spirit beast at the Golden Core Stage in the cultivation world; if they were in that realm, it would be like facing an ant for Ling Mo Xie. But here in this small space created by the Heavenly Demon Sect, where rules were not well-defined and spells could not exert their full power, Ling Mo Xie found himself at a disadvantage against this head wolf. Up until now, he had relied heavily on the sword that had fallen out during his last battle with Meng Lan Jie.
Yet this head wolf seemed tireless as it relentlessly attacked Ling Mo Xie. Ling Mo Xie felt puzzled; even if his spells were ineffective now, he shouldn't be getting tired so quickly. Why did it feel so exhausting to use even one sword technique?
Amidst their ongoing battle, Ling Mo Xie finally noticed something unusual: there seemed to be a force similar to magic controlling the wind in the air, restricting and affecting his movements. This was undoubtedly the work of the head wolf. The earlier mistake he made in summoning should have been caused by this wind; he had been confused about it at first.
It wasn't surprising that there was wind on the grassland, so Ling Mo Xie hadn't paid much attention before. Now he realized that this wind could very well be considered a spell cast by the head wolf.
Ling Mo Xie cursed inwardly; damn it, why did this local magic not seem to weaken him as much? The impact on him was still so significant!
Helplessly, Ling Mo Xie quickly recognized that defeating this head wolf with just his own strength would be quite difficult; he needed to summon Big White to stand a chance.
However, this wolf seemed to rely on speed for its attacks, striking rapidly, leaving Ling Mo Xie unable to complete the summoning hand seals. With the System upgrade, it was impossible to summon a beast companion with just a thought like before; he seemed trapped in a vicious cycle.
Under the relentless attacks of the wolf, Ling Mo Xie quickly began to panic. At this rate, he feared he would end up in the wolf's belly. What a humiliating way to die! No, he absolutely could not die at the jaws of this wolf.
Ling Mo Xie's eyes nearly turned red as his mind raced to find a way to deal with the wolf. He had acquired many powerful spells in the Heavenly Sound Secret Realm, but they were all elemental spells. Unfortunately, these elemental spells were severely weakened in this small space. Although the wolf was native to this environment, wind-based spells were not effective against it; instead, its iron claws proved to be quite formidable.
Ling Mo Xie had little confidence in his physical body. During his tribulation, even the Tribulation Thunder had become energy for the System upgrade, and his body had not been tempered. In this space where spells were weakened, what could he use to confront the wolf?
It seemed that only Big White could help him. Not only was Big White a fierce beast with impressive physical strength, but since this space could give rise to sentient beings, the rules governing souls must also be quite robust. Big White's Soul Snatching technique might still wield considerable power here.
With this thought in mind, Ling Mo Xie changed his strategy. Instead of recklessly trying to inflict damage on the wolf, he focused on how to cast the summoning hand seals without being interrupted by its continuous attacks and summon Big White.
The Binding Technique was originally a good spell that would definitely be effective in such circumstances; however, he was unsure how much it would be weakened in this space. If it could only hold for one second, that would be quite comical.
After racking his brain several times, Ling Mo Xie could only come up with this one method: either prevent the wolf from attacking him or make himself tough enough so that the wolf couldn't kill him before he completed the summoning seals.
While fending off the wolf's attacks, Ling Mo Xie set aside his last doubts and decided to go for it—this was his only option.
"Binding Technique!" Having used it countless times in the cultivation world with great success, Ling Mo Xie cast the Binding Technique at the wolf. He had no idea how much it would be weakened in this space and did not dare to slack off. He quickly released several defensive spells on himself. Of course, these spells would undoubtedly be weakened in this space, but with so many spells combined, there should be some level of defense.
