"Let's fight again!"

The Wolf King spoke with human words, shouting loudly, and with a mighty push of his front paws on the ground, he charged towards Ichizi, his blood-red mouth opened wide, aiming to bite Ichizi's shoulder.

"I was thinking the same, today I will become another cultivator who slaughters the Demon King after a thousand years!"

Ichizi laughed heartily, his feet shifted slightly on the ground, and with a small change of his hands, a spell mark was cast towards the pouncing Wolf King.

After casting the spell, Ichizi quickly retreated, keeping a certain distance from the Wolf King, never allowing him to get close!

Ichizi was very smart; he knew that the physiques of the demon beasts were astonishing, and no matter the physical constitution of a cultivator, they could never go head-to-head with them.

Therefore, Ichizi kept casting spells, strike after strike, towards the Wolf King!

Although the Wolf King's speed was very fast, far exceeding that of typical Transcendance Tribulation peak cultivators.

However, Ichizi was no pushover either, his cultivation had reached the threshold of the Mahayana Realm, how could the Wolf King possibly catch up to him?

Thus, the awkward situation arose, where the Wolf King, possessed of impressive speed and strength, could not take any advantage of Ichizi, and instead, was toyed with like a dog by the old fox Ichizi!

Moreover, as time went on, the Wolf King sustained more and more injuries, increasingly weakening in both speed and strength.

Elsewhere, the army had already been completely slain on the ground, thanks to the cooperation of Murong Yue and Xiao Mei's group, leaving none alive!

"Xiao Mei, Ao Xue, you two protect Shi Qi and the others and leave here first. I will stay behind with Tan Tai Qing to cover your retreat!"

Murong Yue had also noticed the battle between Ichizi and the Wolf King, her delicate brow furrowed as she instructed Xiao Mei and Lu Aoxue beside her.

"Xiao Yue, let me stay instead. You protect Shi Qi and them as you leave, your cultivation is higher, and if you encounter any danger on the road, you can handle it!"

Xiao Mei shook her head, disagreeing with Murong Yue's suggestion and proposing her own idea instead.

"Because my cultivation is relatively higher, I should be the one to stay. The Sima family likely sent Ichizi, who has the highest cultivation, if they had stronger experts, they would have appeared by now and wouldn't sit idly by as we slaughter their army!"

"After the Wolf King is defeated, I can hold him off for a while, and Tan Tai Qing with her Ruthless Artistic Conception, can perhaps help me at a critical moment. You go first, head towards Bai Xiaofan's direction!"

Murong Yue gently grasped Xiao Mei's small hand, her expression incredibly serious.

Both Murong Yue and Xiao Mei understood deeply.

Under the current circumstances, those who leave have a high chance of safely encountering Bai Xiaofan.

Once they meet Bai Xiaofan, no danger would remain.

But for the one responsible for covering the retreat, it's likely they would be slain by Ichizi, and even if they didn't die, they would certainly be captured and used as a hostage.

Being used as a hostage, once they reach the Sima family, their life or death would no longer be in their own hands.

"Let's do it this way: Tan Tai Qing, you and Ao Xue, protect Shi Qi and the others as you leave. I will stay with Xiao Yue. Though I lack Artistic Conception power, the cultivation technique I've practiced isn't bad, and I should be able to help in critical moments!"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Mei turned to Tan Tai Qing and spoke.

Therefore, with Murong Yue and Xiao Mei's joint decision, Lu Aoxue and Tan Tai Qing protected Su Shiqi and He Miaor as they silently departed.

Before leaving, Su Shiqi and He Miaor turned back with reluctance to look at the two women, especially Murong Wan, who almost burst into tears!

None of them were fools; they clearly understood the consequences of staying behind.

But they also understood that Murong Yue and Xiao Mei staying behind was the most correct decision!

Evidently, under Ichizi's continuous assault, the Wolf King was no longer able to hold on much longer.

If someone wants to survive, someone else must stay to cover their retreat.

Even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to make any difference since among them, Su Shiqi's cultivation was the highest, and she hadn't even reached the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Watching everyone leave, Murong Yue and Xiao Mei exchanged a look, both showing a brief smile in their beautiful eyes.

Elsewhere, Yaoyao and Xiao Qing also stayed because after all, their Wolf King was still persisting.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang!

The Wolf King's massive body, like a cannonball, was knocked to the ground by Ichizi in a sorry state.

At this moment, although the fierceness still flickered in the Wolf King's eyes, he posed no threat, and his once midnight black fur, now stained with coursing blood, appeared even darker!

"Are you four planning to stay and accompany me back to the Sima family?"

Without even sparing a glance at the severely wounded Wolf King, Ichizi's eyes saw the Wolf King as no longer a threat, speaking arrogantly to Murong Yue and her group.

"Bah, you old codger, prepare to die!"

Yaoyao spat and her form instantly transformed into a snow-white fox, its seven tails, each a meter long, swaying casually behind it, before launching the first attack on Ichizi!

Murong Yue and Xiao Mei, in perfect coordination, thrust their swords, aiming at Ichizi's two sides!

Since they were going to fight, there was no need for more words with Ichizi!

Faced with the overwhelming attack from the three, Ichizi's face showed a scornful smile.

Although he had consumed a lot while fighting the Wolf King, the highest cultivation among the ones before him was only mid-Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he hadn't taken them seriously at all!

Furthermore, among them, there was even one who hadn't reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

Bang!

Sure enough, just as they clashed, the weakest Xiao Mei was used as a breakthrough point by Ichizi, injured in one move, falling to the ground, her lovely face turning pale.

However, as Ichizi reached out to strike Murong Yue, he noticed something wrapping around his legs!

Upon closer inspection!

It turned out to be a ten-meter-long python, with its head lunging at him to bite!

Though somewhat surprised, Ichizi wasn't flustered; he'd long recognized Xiao Qing's true form as a python!

Immediately, he raised a hand and fiercely slapped towards the incoming head.

Bang!

A spray of blood erupted!

Xiao Qing's body wavered, and even the part wrapped around Ichizi's legs slackened.

At the same time, Murong Yue and Xiao Mei's attack arrived.
