56: Slay the king! The power of unity!

The Wolf King appeared!

It was massive, with dark red fur like flowing blood and exposed fangs that glinted with a metallic chill. Its wolf eyes were scarlet and violent, fixed intently on the crowd within the five-colored light wheel, especially Wen Youyi standing in the center. The pressure of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer was released without reservation, making many Disciples inside the light wheel feel their breathing hitch.

"Awoo—!"

The Wolf King howled at the sky, and the remaining nearly one hundred Blood Wolves nearby seemed to receive an order, becoming even more frenzied and charging at the Five Elements light wheel regardless of the cost! The light wheel fluctuated violently, and the faces of Wen Youyi, Zhao Iron Pillar, and the other four maintaining the Formation turned a shade paler.

"We can't just defend passively!" Wen Youyi shouted hoarsely through the communicator, his voice entering every Disciple's mind. "The Formation won't hold for long! We must take the initiative to attack and slay the Wolf King!"

He quickly adjusted the tactics: "All squads, hear my command! The Formation is about to be deactivated. Execute the 'Decapitation' tactic immediately! Team One and Team Two, feint from the left and right to draw the attention of the Wolf King and the elites! Team Three, go all out to clear the ordinary wolf pack and create space for us! Team Four (Ding Zi Courtyard), follow me to lead the main attack on the Wolf King!"

The instructions were clear. Although everyone was afraid, not a single person backed down!

"Brothers, let's give it our all!"

"Follow Senior Brother Wen and kill that beast!"

Wen Youyi took a deep breath and suddenly withdrew his spiritual power: "Disperse!"

The five-colored light wheel vanished instantly!

At the very moment the light wheel disappeared, the Disciples of Team One and Team Two on the left and right sides charged like arrows released from a bow, fearlessly rushing toward the elite Blood Wolves flanking the Wolf King. They poured out Spells and Talismans with everything they had, creating a massive commotion!

The Team Three Disciples formed a circular Formation, firmly blocking the ordinary wolf pack that surged like a tide, isolating a space for the central battlefield!

Meanwhile, Wen Youyi, leading Zhao Iron Pillar, Wang Wu, Senior Brother Li, and Senior Brother Zhang, pierced through like five sharp blades directly toward the Wolf King's body!

"Ants! Seeking death!" The Wolf King actually spoke blurred human words, a flash of human-like disdain in its eyes. Its massive wolf claws, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air, swatted down! Its speed was startlingly fast!

"Iron Pillar, Ground Shaker! Slow it down!"

"Wang and Li, pin it down from the left and right!"

"Senior Brother Zhang, interfere with its vision!"

"I'll lead the main attack!"

The cooperation of The core five people had long since become instinct! Zhao Iron Pillar stomped his feet heavily, and the ground's vibration caused the Wolf King's descending claw to shift slightly! Wang Wu and Senior Brother Li's Spells tangled around the Wolf King's limbs and torso like sticky candy! Senior Brother Zhang's Gentle Wind Talisman kicked up dust, obscuring the Wolf King's vision!

Meanwhile, Wen Youyi closed in like a ghost. He didn't choose to clash head-on; instead, he combined the spiritual power in his body with a trace of Star Core Power, condensing it at his fingertip. Seeing the moment when the Wolf King's old strength had just been spent and its new strength was not yet born, he pointed a finger at its relatively fragile bridge of the nose!

"Puff!"

With a soft sound, the Wolf King's nose felt the pain. It let out a furious roar and jerked its head violently; its foul-smelling breath almost knocked Wen Youyi away!

Having missed the killing blow, Wen Youyi did not linger and retreated rapidly. Meanwhile, Zhao Iron Pillar's fist followed immediately, smashing hard against the Wolf King's shoulder blade!

"Thud!" The dull sound was like hitting worn leather. Zhao Iron Pillar was numbed by the counter-shock force, while the Wolf King only swayed slightly, its fur not even damaged!

The defense of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer was too strong!

"Its weaknesses are its eyes and belly!" Wen Youyi shouted, lunging forward once again.

The Wolf King was completely enraged by the continuous harassment from these "ants"! A flash of blood-red light erupted around its body, and its speed suddenly increased, turning into a red afterimage. Its claws danced wildly, instantly forcing back Wang Wu and Senior Brother Li who were trying to approach. Both were left with claw marks deep enough to see bone, dripping with blood!

"Senior Brother Wang! Senior Brother Li!" the other Disciples cried out.

"Don't worry about us! Proceed as planned!" Wang Wu roared through gritted teeth, swallowing a Medicinal Pill and continuing to release harassing Spells.

The battle was brutal! All of The core five people from the Ding Zi Courtyard leading the attack were injured, barely holding on through their tacit cooperation and the real-time communication of the communicator. Team Three on the periphery was under immense pressure, with Disciples constantly being pounced on by the wolf pack, their screams echoing one after another.

Seeing the casualties increase, morale was on the verge of collapsing!

A flash of resolve crossed Wen Youyi's eyes. Through the communicator, he issued one final command to all Disciples still capable of fighting:

[Everyone, abandon your defense and transmit all your spiritual power to me from a distance!]

What?!

Everyone was stunned. Transmit spiritual power to Wen Youyi? Could this work? The conflict of different attributes of spiritual power within a stranger's body would have unimaginable consequences!

But out of unconditional trust in Wen Youyi, the remaining dozen or so Disciples, including the heavily injured Wang Wu and Senior Brother Li, did not hesitate to abandon defense and evasion. They forced out the last of their spiritual power of various attributes from their bodies, sending it surging toward Wen Youyi!

In an instant, over a dozen different attributes of violent and chaotic spiritual power flooded into Wen Youyi's body! He felt as if his body were about to explode, and a tearing pain came from his Meridians!

"Pfft!" He violently spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Little Wen!" Zhao Iron Pillar's eyes were nearly splitting from distress.

At this critical moment, the star core fragment in his Dantian suddenly jolted, emitting a gentle yet vast starlight! That starlight acted like the most brilliant harmonizer, forcibly smoothing out the violent foreign spiritual powers and briefly "smelting" them into one!

Wen Youyi's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt an unprecedented, mixed yet massive power surging through his body! He suddenly looked up, locking onto the Wolf King, which was somewhat bewildered by everyone's abandonment of defense and was preparing to pounce!

He poured all of this chaotic yet powerful energy, which gathered the strength of everyone, into his right fist. An extremely unstable, multicolored, and piercing light lit up on his fist!

There was no fancy Move, only the simplest and most direct punch! A punch that contained everyone's will and power!

"This punch is for all the bottom-level Cultivators who have been bullied by you and oppressed by this world!"

His fist was like a falling star, arriving after it was launched but hitting first, smashing heavily into the Wolf King's bloody maw, which was slightly open in bewilderment!

"BOOM!!!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out!

The multicolored light instantly engulfed the Wolf King's head! The massive wolf body flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily against the rock wall. Its head was already shattered, with red and white matter splattered everywhere!

The Wolf King was dead!

In an instant, the entire Blood Wolf Valley fell into a dead silence.

All the remaining Blood Wolves, as if their spines had been removed, let out terrified wails, tucked their tails, and fled in all directions, disappearing into the depths of the valley in the blink of an eye.

The surviving Disciples of the Conquering Wolf Squad looked at the massive corpse of the Wolf King, then at Wen Youyi, who stood in place with torn clothes, covered in blood but standing as straight as a pine tree. After a brief silence, a sky-shaking cheer erupted!

"We won! We won!"

"The Wolf King is dead! We did it!"

"Long live Senior Brother Wen! Long live the Mutual Aid Society!"

The wild joy of surviving a disaster and the unbelievable victory washed over everyone's hearts.

Wen Youyi looked at the cheering crowd, at the companions supporting each other, who were injured but had bright eyes, and a weary but immensely gratified smile appeared on his face.

In this battle, they had not only completed a seemingly impossible task but had also proven to everyone that the power that could erupt from unity and cooperation far exceeded the imagination!
