"How... how are there so many Golden Horned Black Wolves?"
Luo Nan panicked.
At that moment, Qin Long suddenly berated Lu Zisong and the other four, "Look at what you five have done! I just told you, the Golden Horned Black Wolves are pack animals. You killed that one, and now we're going to be retaliated against. But you wouldn't listen. Now what do we do?"
Hearing this, Lu Zisong and the other four's faces turned ugly!
They had only been thinking about showing off, and hadn't considered the consequences.
The White-Clothed Woman spoke, "Uncle Qin, stop. It's already happened; blaming them won't help. We should think about how to break out!"
Qin Long frowned.
He hadn't expected hiring bodyguards to backfire on him like this.
Who wouldn't be angry in this situation?
But now it's done!
Being angry won't help.
He gritted his teeth, no longer wanting to pursue the matter.
He looked at Su Wuchen and the other five bodyguards and said, "Listen up, all of you! Before we came up the mountain, I paid a deposit to hire you six as bodyguards. Therefore, no matter what happens next, your primary mission is to protect my young lady. If any of you try to run away and something happens to my young lady because of it, I won't let you off easy! Hmph!"
Hearing this, the expressions of Lu Zisong and the other five changed.
Especially Lu Zisong, who had just sworn to protect the White-Clothed Woman with his life, didn't dare to speak up now.
What's the point of speaking up!
He had just been trying to win over the White-Clothed Woman, which was why he'd made such a boast.
But when faced with actual life and death, how could he possibly risk his life for her?
At this moment, he was already planning in his mind how he could escape on his own.
And his thoughts were shared by Chen Fang, Luo Nan, Meng Lie, and Li Kui.
Qin Long looked at the White-Clothed Woman and said, "Miss, we'll try to break through later. You find an opportunity to escape, and then go down the mountain. Don't come back up for now!"
"No!"
The White-Clothed Woman shook her head forcefully, refusing to agree. "I must find the Crimson Blood Thorn Flower before I go down the mountain. Otherwise, what about my father's illness?"
"But..."
"Awoo…"
Just as Qin Long was about to say something, the Golden Horned Black Wolf, at the third rank and sixth heaven, charged at Bi Hu first!
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Bi Hu, holding a long sword, furiously charged towards the Golden Horned Black Wolf.
Man and beast began to fight!
But in less than half an hour!
Bi Hu had already had an arm bitten off by the Golden Horned Black Wolf.
"Ah!"
The pain from his severed arm caused Bi Hu to scream to the heavens.
At the same time!
The Golden Horned Black Wolf raised its huge right claw and swung it fiercely at Bi Hu.
Swoosh!
The sharp right claw slashed across Bi Hu's neck.
Several blood-red claw marks instantly appeared on Bi Hu's neck, and then a large amount of blood exploded from his neck, gushing out wildly.
Bi Hu's eyes widened as his body crashed to the ground, falling into his own pool of blood, completely dead.
Seeing this, Lu Zisong and the others trembled with fear.
They hadn't expected Bi Hu, who had a cultivation base at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, to be killed by the Golden Horned Black Wolf just like that.
Their own fates might very well be the same!
Thinking of this, they were terrified!
Simultaneously, they were filled with regret.
They regretted not giving up on killing the two Golden Horned Black Wolves with a cultivation base at the fifth level of the third rank from the very beginning.
"Too… too terrifying! I… I don't care about you anymore! I'm going down the mountain, I'm going down the mountain!"
Meng Lie, his face full of fear, wanted to run away!
"I… I don't care about you either, I'm running too!"
Chen Fang followed Meng Lie, running in a certain direction.
But they had only taken a few steps when they were ambushed by four Golden Horned Black Wolves, all at the Third Rank, Sixth Heaven level of cultivation. They were surrounded and attacked together.
Half an hour later!
"Argh…"
"Argh…"
The forest echoed with terrifying screams that were chilling to the bone.
At this moment, Meng Lie and Chen Fang had been torn to pieces by the four Golden Horned Black Wolves at the Third Rank, Sixth Heaven level.
Seeing this scene, the fear on Lu Zisong and Li Kui's faces grew even more intense!
Especially Lu Zisong, who was trembling all over, nearly crapping his pants.
At this moment, he finally understood what terror truly meant!
Qin Long's expression was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, "These Golden Horned Black Wolves aren't rushing to attack us all at once. It seems they want to torture us one by one before killing us! It seems we've thoroughly enraged them by killing those two from their pack."
Qin Long's words caused Lu Zisong and Li Kui's faces to change drastically!
They had both considered running just now, but after seeing the fate of Meng Lie and Chen Fang, they dared not even think about escaping anymore.
"Awoo!"
Suddenly!
The six Golden Horned Black Wolves, all with the cultivation of the sixth heaven of the third rank, howled almost simultaneously.
As the howl faded, the other Golden Horned Black Wolves seemed to receive a command, immediately charging towards Su Wuchen and the other four.
"You three, protect my young lady!"
Qin Long's face was grave as he instructed Su Wuchen, Lu Zisong, and Li Kui. Immediately, the cultivation of the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm erupted from within him.
Whoosh!
The next moment!
He had already dashed towards the wolf pack, moving like lightning.
At the same time!
He spread his right hand, and the surrounding air trembled. Silver light flashed, and a sharp silver blade suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Damn beasts, die!"
Qin Long gripped his silver knife, raised his hand, and with a single slash, decapitated a Golden Horned Black Wolf with a cultivation of the third rank, fifth layer.
Following that, he began a frenzied assault with his knife!
Seeing this, Lu Zisong and Li Kui were astonished.
They hadn't expected Qin Long to possess the cultivation of the Mortal Martial Realm, seventh layer.
No wonder they couldn't see Qin Long's cultivation at first!
Of course, except for Su Wuchen.
At this moment, the other Golden Horned Black Wolves also charged towards Su Wuchen and the other three.
The four of them gripped their weapons and began to fight with the wolves.
At that moment, two Golden Horned Black Wolves, both at the third rank and fifth heaven of cultivation, began to attack the White-Clothed Woman.
Two Golden Horned Black Wolves at the third rank and fifth heaven were equivalent to two human martial artists at the Mortal Martial Realm's sixth heaven.
The White-Clothed Woman was no match for them!
She was frightened and kept retreating. Because of her panic, she suddenly stumbled, and her body fell backward to the ground.
The two Golden Horned Black Wolves seemed to have seized the opportunity and immediately lunged at the White-Clothed Woman to tear her apart.
"Miss!"
Qin Long, upon seeing this, wanted to rush over to save the White-Clothed Woman, but it was already too late.
The White-Clothed Woman had already closed her eyes in despair.
But just then, a figure suddenly flashed past!
Swish!
Swish!
In an instant.
The two Golden Horned Black Wolves, both at the Third Rank, Fifth Heaven, had their heads instantly chopped off. Blood gushed out as they fell to the ground, dead.
A moment later, the White-Clothed Woman slowly opened her eyes. She saw a handsome and upright figure, standing before her like a towering mountain. She inexplicably felt a sense of security, as if she had survived a disaster.
And she hadn't expected that the person who had saved her, standing in front of her, was actually Su Wuchen, the least powerful and most unremarkable of the six bodyguards.
Seeing this scene, the others were also incredibly shocked!
Especially Lu Zisong and Li Kui!
They hadn't expected that the two Golden Horned Black Wolves, both at the third-order, sixth-layer of the Mortal Martial Realm, that they and the other three Mortal Martial Realm experts had struggled to kill, were instantly killed by Su Wuchen alone!
"This...this is impossible! How can this kid be so strong?"
Lu Zisong and Li Kui found it hard to believe.
Qin Long's face was filled with shock.
And the White-Clothed Woman was equally shocked.
She hadn't expected that Su Wuchen, who had always been looked down upon, was actually the strongest among the six bodyguards!
"Thank… thank you!" the White-Clothed Woman said slowly to Su Wuchen.
Su Wuchen turned his head to look at the White-Clothed Woman, reminding her, "Brace yourself, and be careful!"
"Yes!" The White-Clothed Woman nodded slightly, then immediately got up to face the situation.
The battle between humans and wolves continued to be a stalemate!
At this moment.
Lu Zisong and Li Kui were being besieged by four Golden Horned Black Wolves, all at the Third Rank, Fifth Heaven realm. They were forced to retreat step by step and had already sustained multiple wounds. Though not fatal, they were still quite serious.
On the White-Clothed Woman's side, because Su Wuchen was protecting her, any Golden Horned Black Wolf that tried to approach her was immediately slain by Su Wuchen with a single sword strike.
And the one who was most severely injured was, of course, Qin Long!
At this moment, Qin Long was surrounded by three Golden Horned Black Wolves, all at the sixth level of the third rank.
Facing a one-on-three situation, he was already covered in wounds and not far from death.
Suddenly!
His right arm, which held the silver knife, was instantly bitten off by a Golden Horned Black Wolf at the sixth level of the third rank, causing him to scream in pain.
"Aah!"
The other two Golden Horned Black Wolves also seized the opportunity, raising their claws and fiercely swiping towards Qin Long's neck and chest.
If those two attacks landed, he would undoubtedly die!
"Uncle Qin!"
The White-Clothed Woman shrieked, her face etched with worry.
At the critical moment!
Su Wuchen shot out like lightning. He leaped, planting a foot on the head of each Golden Horned Black Wolf.
Boom! Boom!
The two wolf heads were instantly stomped into the ground, creating two muddy craters.
Qin Long was finally saved!
