Chapter 487 - 223: Battle of the Western Wilderness (Part 3)
"Hey! Two-legged Beast King!?"
"Quick, quick! A few brothers come with me to catch him!"
"Leave two to quickly make a fire, we’ll roast that two-legged beast later!"
Hearing the commotion and seeing a figure hastily escaping, this group of newly intelligent small demons didn’t realize anything was amiss and all charged forward!
Leading the group of small demons was a Qi Cultivation Eighth or Ninth Layer Bear Demon, with a massive body and a large head, wielding an unknown beast bone club as he shouted and rushed forward.
Several Wolf Demons and other small demons followed behind him.
"Stop!"
"Don’t run!"
"Stop right there!"
This group of small demons chased while shouting loudly.
Shen Wen’an wielded a Lower Grade Great Saber Magical Artifact, continuously slashing out blade auras.
But most of these blade auras struck the thick trees on either side, and on the rare occasion when one or two blade auras headed toward the small demons, they were easily blocked by the Bear Demon’s sturdy bone club.
Moreover, the "panicked" expression on his face excited the small demons even more.
"Almost there..."
Seeing that the act was almost over, he immediately waved his hand and slashed a sharp blade aura straight at the leading Bear Demon!
Pouf!
The Bear Demon, thinking it would be like before, raised his bone club to block.
But unexpectedly, this time the blade aura was several times faster than before and easily disemboweled him before he could raise his bone club, killing him on the spot!
The small demons behind the Bear Demon were all stunned.
Moments later, they assumed Shen Wen’an got lucky and thought the Bear Demon had been careless, and continued to pursue him!
Shen Wen’an slowly slaughtered all the small demons and then returned to the Black Pine Forest to continue attacking the next patrol post.
Quickly, several patrol posts were completely massacred, and the small demons finally realized the situation and quickly reported it to the Fetal Breathing Realm Great Demon guarding the Spirit Crystal Vein.
Upon receiving the news, a Late Stage of Fetal Breathing tusked wild boar angrily charged in.
Shen Wen’an engaged in battle with his magical artifact great saber for dozens of moves before fleeing in haste.
The tusked wild boar pursued him for a hundred miles but lost his trail and had to return in frustration.
But in the following days, Shen Wen’an attacked and killed many small demons at various patrol posts, forcing several Fetal Breathing Realm Great Demons guarding the Spirit Crystal Vein to take action.
Yet they still couldn’t do anything to him.
"This damn two-legged beast is so annoying!"
"His cultivation should be at the Middle to Late Stage of Fetal Breathing; he’s slippery like an eel. Whenever we act together, he runs away."
At the mining camp, in front of the beast-hide tent, the tusked wild boar angrily tossed the bone saber in his hand to the ground and grumbled.
The other three demon beasts were equally infuriated.
"Let’s get the Commander involved. Next time that guy comes, have the Commander strike unexpectedly, and we can definitely kill him!"
A Fetal Breathing Middle Stage dog-headed, human-bodied Great Demon spoke up.
The demons exchanged glances and agreed with the decision.
From afar, Shen Wen’an stood silently on the treetop of a giant tree, watching as a flowing light flew out of the Black Pine Forest toward the West Wilderness Grassland, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
After so many days of acting, he had been waiting for this moment.
During the great harvest years ago, when Lan Jue led the demons to attack Yunshui City, he fought them alone, and his strength had already been known to the enemy.
This time, to lure out those few Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm Great Demons, he couldn’t reveal his identity.
Thus, he hadn’t even used his sword, not wanting the enemy to realize who he was.
After waiting for two days on the ancient treetop in the Black Pine Forest, he finally saw three streams of light quickly flying in from deep within the West Wilderness Grassland.
"That Lan Jue is really cautious, sending two Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm Great Demons this time." Shen Wen’an thought to himself.
Among the three streams of light approaching, one was the Fetal Breathing Realm demon beast that had retreated to seek help from the Black Pine Forest.
The other two streams of light were the two Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm Great Demons rushing in.
With two Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm demons, if it had been before he’d refined the Sword Bone Magical Sword, he wouldn’t have been confident in keeping them from escaping if they really wanted to flee.
But now that his realm has reached the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm and he has the Sword Bone Magical Sword, killing the two demons completely wouldn’t allow them any chance to escape.
Suppressing his thoughts, he stored the Lower Grade Long Saber Magical Artifact in his storage bag, switching it for the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
With a flicker, he headed toward a previously discovered patrol post.
Having just slain several small demons at the patrol post, Shen Wen’an turned to leave when he detected two figures swiftly approaching with their auras concealed!
"For a dignified Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, acting in such a dishonorable manner."
"Having killed so many of our Great Witch Mountain sons, today you will not escape."
The two figures were incredibly fast, blocking Shen Wen’an’s path from left and right in the blink of an eye.
These two demons were the very same Snow Wolf King and the old goat that once appeared outside Yunshui City with Lan Jue.
Although their cultivation wasn’t as high as the White Mountain Monarch who had been slain, both were solid Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm demons.
After locking onto Shen Wen’an with their aura, the old goat, sporting a tuft of white whiskers beneath his chin, frowned.
He felt that the aura of this human cultivator seemed familiar but couldn’t recall where he’d encountered it.
Holding his long sword, Shen Wen’an, seeing the fish had taken the bait, slowly turned around.
"It’s been a long time, you two."
Upon seeing his appearance and hearing his voice, the expressions on the faces of the Snow Wolf King and the old goat instantly froze, followed by shock!
