The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 78 - King Cang Qi’s Wolf

78: Chapter 78: King Cang Qi’s Wolf

78 -78: King Cang Qi’s Wolf

Jia Xun, at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment realm, did not seem too tense; he chuckled to Qin Jun and the two others, “Your Highnesses need not worry; we are only tens of miles away from the capital, and the nearby monsters are not that strong.”

Qin Jun couldn’t help but purse his lips.

I, at the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm, feel palpitations, yet you say they’re not strong?

Anyway, with the royal guards around, Qin Jun was more than happy to relax.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly; it was clear that a massive creature was approaching, its daunting demon energy making the leaves of the surrounding trees shake.

Qin Yu and Qin Yun hid nervously behind their guards.

Watching this scene, Qin Jun shook his head.

As expected, they’re just flowers raised in a greenhouse.

How can they be so timid and still want to participate in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition?

“I can’t believe a young Grey Monster Wolf that just converged its Monster Core has appeared around here.”

Roaring Sky Dog, lying at Qin Jun’s feet, sighed.

Monsters that have converged their Monster Cores are at the Golden Elixir Realm.

Since humans also refer to their realm of cultivation as the Golden Elixir when they converge their essence, for simplicity, they call monsters at that cultivation level the Golden Elixir Realm too.

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up.

Could he finally start leveling up by slaying monsters?

“Roaring Sky Dog, you don’t know that little Grey Monster Wolf, do you?

Can I kill it?” Qin Jun said with a sly grin.

“You can,” Roaring Sky Dog glanced at Qin Jun, and said.

Within the Demon Clan, there’s little unity; their infighting is even more brutal than among humans.

It is said that long ago, when the Demon Clan ruled this world, it was precisely their lack of unity that led to the humans overturning them.

Having received Roaring Sky Dog’s reply, Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel expectant.

If he kept encountering monsters on the road, he might be able to break through to the Golden Elixir Realm before the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition.

Thinking this, he started to get a bit excited.

Boom—

A huge, pitch-black creature crashed through the trees, startling every royal guard, sending shivers down their spines.

The moment they laid eyes on the creature, they all inhaled sharply with shock.

It was a giant grey wolf standing three meters tall at the shoulder—five meters in length—with its body covered in blood and much of its fur singed by lightning, giving off an utterly desolate impression.

Particularly its eyes, which were blood-red, emanated a chilling murderous intent and fierce light.

The might of a Monster Core Realm beast caused everyone present to feel palpitations.

Apart from Daji and Roaring Sky Dog, no one there had exceeded the Golden Elixir Realm.

Golden Elixir cultivators were rare and had their own duties, which is why none had been sent; the trip was a chance for training first and foremost.

“Surround it!

Don’t let it harm any of the Three Highnesses!”

Jia Xun quickly shouted as fifty royal guards swiftly encircled the Grey Monster Wolf.

The subordinates of Qin Yu and Qin Yun did the same.

If they didn’t kill this Grey Monster Wolf, the royal guard would surely suffer a complete loss.

The rest of their journey would become much more difficult thereafter.

“Aooo—”

The Grey Monster Wolf howled, then leaped like a massive boulder aiming straight for Qin Yu.

Tsk, tsk, when even the monsters set their sights on you first, that speaks volumes about one’s character!

Qin Jun thought maliciously.

At that moment, Daji stepped out from the carriage, sitting beside Qin Jun and said with interest, “This little Grey Monster Wolf actually carries the bloodline of the Ancient Cang Qi King Wolf.”

The Ancient Cang Qi King Wolf?

What an impressive-sounding name!

Seeing the confusion in Qin Jun’s eyes, Daji explained, “The Cang Qi King Wolf is one of the demon breeds that has continued from ancient times, once mighty and dominant.

Though they have declined now, this little Grey Monster Wolf, even with its impure bloodline, might one day transform into a true Cang Qi King Wolf.”

“Pfft, compared to the Heavenly Dog Clan, the Cang Qi King Wolf isn’t even worthy of standing on the same stage,” Roaring Sky Dog snorted disdainfully.

“The most glorious is the Heavenly Fox Clan!” Daji bragged, prompting Qin Jun to roll his eyes.

I’m not singling out any of you in particular, but both of you, in the face of the strongest Human Clan, what worth are your clans?

Meanwhile, Blood Blade King diligently fulfilled his duty to protect Qin Yu, but he was completely overwhelmed by the frenzied Grey Monster Wolf.

If it weren’t for the other guardians sharing the aggression, he wouldn’t have lasted five seconds.

“Awoo——”

The Grey Monster Wolf swung its paws, and with one strike, soil flew in all directions, with the hit guards vomiting blood as they were sent flying.

Countless spells lit up the dark surroundings, all aimed at the Grey Monster Wolf, but none seemed to harm it, only making it more berserk.

With a boom, the Grey Monster Wolf suddenly spat out a red light, a pillar-like beam that instantly blasted a guard to pieces, creating a scene so gruesome it made one feel nauseous.

“Damn, all the Golden Elixir Realm magical beasts near the capital have been eradicated by Nan Meng, but who would have expected to encounter a wolf demon that had just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm?

Such bad luck right from the start!”

Jia Xun looked at the unstoppable Grey Monster Wolf and lamented.

Heaven has virtues of life, and although the Human Clan is dominant, they don’t exterminate all magical beasts to extinction.

Besides, since magical beasts can be food for humans and their flesh and blood extremely useful to human cultivators, every country strives to control the population of magical beasts.

Enough to avoid extermination, but not too many to become a disaster.

Of course, magical beasts are not fools.

Often, a beast king would emerge, uniting the beasts in an area to form a beast tide.

“Blood Blade Slash!”

The black-clad Blood Blade King leaped into the air, raising his curved blade high above his head.

With a burst of bloodlight, he slashed down, aiming to cleave the Grey Monster Wolf in two.

However, the Grey Monster Wolf suddenly turned and swung its claw, with red demonic power turning into three wind blades.

They flew with incredible speed, striking Blood Blade King instantly, his blood splattering as he screamed and flew backward through the air.

Qin Yu’s face changed dramatically; the strongest of his men was Blood Blade King, but he was so easily defeated by the Grey Monster Wolf.

Was he truly going to have to flee back to the capital?

Qin Yu felt ashamed; if people in the capital knew that they had been driven back on their first day out, how embarrassing would that be?

“Wonder how much experience it would give if killed,” Qin Jun muttered to himself, as one by one, the guards met with brutal deaths.

Qin Yu and Qin Yun’s men were repeatedly knocked away, but he was in no rush.

He wasn’t planning to have Daji and Roaring Sky Dog make a move until it was critical.

He wanted to rely on himself, so he was waiting for the Grey Monster Wolf to run out of stamina before making his move.

“King Yue, won’t you let her act yet!”

At that moment, Jia Xun suddenly turned to Qin Jun.

The news that Daji had killed Xiahou En was no secret among the upper echelons of the kingdom, though most people chose not to believe it.

In the current desperate situation, Jia Xun was like a drowning man clutching at straws, not caring about consequences; he just wanted someone to act, especially if it wasn’t his subordinate.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, and just as Daji was about to stand up, he suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

“If we are stopped by a mere demon wolf, then we have no business attending the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition!”

Qin Jun said coldly, making Qin Yun nearby feel deeply ashamed, and Qin Yu felt Qin Jun was humiliating him, which was indeed the case.

Clang——

Qin Jun raised his right hand, and the Silver Dragon Execution Spear appeared out of thin air in his grip, shining with a silver light that complemented his white clothes, giving him a radiant appearance.

“Vile beast, Zhao of Changshan…

pah!

Your king stands here, cease your insolence!”

Qin Jun let out a peculiar shout as he charged towards the Grey Monster Wolf.

Wasn’t this moment what his diligent spear training was for?
