Free Web NovelChapter 2297: Chapter 1987: So This Wolf Demon Was Really Once Human
The Wolf Demon realized it could no longer escape, and then raised its paw, striking toward Wu Feng.
Wu Feng was in the Early Stage of Earth Realm, making him the weakest amongst the three.
Clearly, the Wolf Demon had noticed this.
Seeing the Wolf Demon’s paw coming for him, Wu Feng hurriedly lifted his sword and swung out Sword Evil.
The sword and paw collided, emitting a sound of clashing metal.
The Wolf Demon’s paw carried a hefty Condensing Evil, and the impact pushed Wu Feng back six or seven zhang.
Wu Feng quickly stuck his sword into the ground to buffer his movement, bringing himself to a stop.
At this moment, the Wolf Demon kicked its hind paws on the ground; the bluestones suddenly shattered, creating a large pit on the ground.
The Wolf Demon’s figure then dashed once more toward Wu Feng, and before he could react, the Wolf Demon was already before him.
The Wolf Demon struck out with its paw again, and seeing this, Wu Feng swung his sword to block.
Yet, as before, Wu Feng was once again pushed back by the force of the paw.
Wu Feng mobilized the spiritual evil within his body, attempting to counterattack.
However, the Wolf Demon’s strength was tremendous; each paw that struck his sword caused Wu Feng’s arm to ache as if it would break.
Fortunately, Fan Yaodong and Zou Yi joined the fray.
Fan Yaodong swung the knife in his hand, slashing toward the Wolf Demon, shouting, "Flowing Light Moon Slash!"
In the next moment, a crescent-shaped Sword Aura flew out, striking hard at the Wolf Demon’s back, sending it flying with the slash.
Wu Feng quickly widened the distance between him and the Wolf Demon.
After being knocked to the ground, the Wolf Demon’s back revealed a massive wound from which black-red blood continually flowed.
Fan Yaodong did not stop there; he slashed several dozen more times at the Wolf Demon.
A spiritual evil of the Earth Realm isn’t so easily slain; as the dozens of Sword Aura neared the Wolf Demon’s body, the Wolf Demon suddenly leaped up, emitting bursts of red spiritual evil. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The Wolf Demon let out a roar; the sound wave pierced through their minds, causing Fan Yaodong and the others to pause momentarily.
The Wolf Demon leaped into the air, soaring upward.
Then, the Wolf Demon opened its bloody maw toward the three once more.
In the next instant, a red spiritual evil spewed from its mouth, heading straight for Fan Yaodong.
Fan Yaodong did not evade; he tightened his grip on the knife, gathering all of his spiritual evil into it, and then shouted again, "Flowing Light Moon Slash!"
A formidable Sword Aura raced toward the Wolf Demon; the Sword Aura clashed with the Wolf Demon’s red spiritual evil, and in a moment, the red spiritual evil was shattered.
The Sword Aura continued to slash at the Wolf Demon.
The Wolf Demon was in the air, unable to find footing, making it difficult to evade; Fan Yaodong’s Sword Aura hit it directly, and the Wolf Demon’s body plummeted from the sky. freёwebnovel.com
Fan Yaodong once again swung countless slashes.
At this moment, the Wolf Demon lost the ability to resist; all those Sword Aura slashed onto the Wolf Demon’s body; its wounds multiplied, and black-red blood flew everywhere.
When the Wolf Demon landed on the ground, it was entirely devoid of vitality.
Fan Yaodong and the others approached the Wolf Demon and examined its body.
Seeing the Wolf Demon was completely dead, Fan Yaodong directly split open the Wolf Demon’s head.
Yet, unexpectedly, there was no Deceit Pearl within its head.
Fan Yaodong then cut open its body with the knife, only to find no Deceit Pearl there either.
Seeing no Deceit Pearl on the Wolf Demon, Wu Feng said, "It seems this Wolf Demon indeed transformed from a human."
Normally, spiritual evils transformed from humans do not possess Deceit Pearls.
Of course, this is generally the case.
If a human has been an evil spirit for a long time, decades or even centuries, it’s possible for a Deceit Pearl to form within them.
Fan Yaodong flicked the blade, shaking off the blood stains from the knife, then sheathed it.
He then told the distant Deceit Suppressing Guards, "Carry the Wolf Demon’s corpse back to the Deceit Suppression Bureau."
With these words, Fan Yaodong and the others prepared to return to the Bureau.
The Wolf Demon was just a small episode, not worth too much of their attention.
Their most important task now was still to investigate the whereabouts of the Earth Realm Strange.
As Fan Yaodong and the others were about to leave, a Deceit Suppressing Guard suddenly said, "Please wait, my lords; there’s a mark on the Wolf Demon."
Hearing this, Fan Yaodong and the others stopped, and approached the Deceit Suppressing Guard.
There was a Other Shore Flower mark in the center of the Wolf Demon’s palm; seeing this, Fan Yaodong and the others were momentarily stunned.
If they remembered correctly, this emblem should be the symbol of the Yellow Springs Sect.
In other words, this Wolf Demon was transformed from someone belonging to the Yellow Springs Sect.
Regarding the Yellow Springs Sect, they knew next to nothing, only that there was once such a force; it flourished for a time and then vanished.
Fan Yaodong gazed at the emblem on the Wolf Demon’s palm in contemplation.
Then he instructed the Deceit Suppressing Guards, "We’ll discuss this further back."
Here, Fan Yaodong turned to Wu Feng, "Go to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor and report tonight’s events to Prince Zhen Nan."
Wu Feng replied, "Understood, I’ll go immediately."
....
Zhen Nan Prince Manor
Meeting Hall.
Wu Feng sat on a wooden chair on one side of the Meeting Hall, waiting for Prince Zhen Nan.
After a while, Prince Zhen Nan leisurely entered the hall.
Ordinarily, if there is no significant matter, the Deceit Suppression Bureau wouldn’t disturb Prince Zhen Nan at night.
After all, Prince Zhen Nan’s health isn’t well these days; it’s late, and he needs rest.
But Prince Zhen Nan had instructed the Deceit Suppression Bureau that if they eliminated the Wolf Demon, they should report it to him immediately.
Seeing Wu Feng coming to find him so late, Prince Zhen Nan proactively asked, "Is there progress with the Wolf Demon?"
Wu Feng quickly stood from the wooden chair, cupping his fists in salute to Prince Zhen Nan, "Prince Zhen Nan, greetings."
Prince Zhen Nan waved his hand and then took a seat in the main position.
At this time, Wu Feng spoke, "We have dealt with that Wolf Demon."
Prince Zhen Nan said, "Good riddance."
Suddenly recalling something, Prince Zhen Nan asked, "How strong was the Wolf Demon?"
Wu Feng responded, "Lord Fan slain the Wolf Demon single-handedly."
Hearing this, Prince Zhen Nan chuckled and then said, "The report cannot state it that way."
Last time, Fan Yaodong faced the Wolf Demon and not only failed to kill it but was heavily injured by it.
Now encountering the Wolf Demon again, and being able to slay it alone, if this spreads, it would surely draw the people’s displeasure toward the Deceit Suppression Bureau.
Citizens would certainly speculate that Fan Yaodong intentionally released the Wolf Demon.
And by allowing the Wolf Demon to escape, it led to several massacres; the Deceit Suppression Bureau must be accountable.
Thus, when drafting the report, it’s best to depict the battle as fierce and the process intricate to appease the Capital city’s citizens.
Wu Feng understood Prince Zhen Nan’s intention and said, "I understand, I will remind the Secret Storage Bureau once I return."
Prince Zhen Nan asked, "Is there anything else? If not, you may return."
Wu Feng responded, "There’s one more thing. We found an Other Shore Flower emblem in the palm of the Wolf Demon."
