Is this kid a fool?
“Did those two people lose?” Bai Chen asked with a grim expression.
His heart was filled with intense nervousness.
Just from observing the battle, the Yao Beast's strength seemed even more terrifying than he had estimated.
However, the owners of those two sword lights did not perish because of it.
After crashing into the forest, they quickly transformed into two streaks of light and shot back up.
After rising, they seemed to have used some kind of treasure, causing large areas of thick smoke and mist to cover the entire space around the Three-Headed Demon Wolf.
This thick smoke and mist seemed to not only obscure the Three-Headed Demon Wolf's vision but also block its unique senses.
For a moment, it spun around disoriented in its original spot.
The owners of the two sword lights took advantage of this opening to escape and retreat.
And the direction they retreated was precisely where Zhong Qing and the others were staying.
At this moment, Zhong Qing finally saw the appearance of the two individuals.
They were two women dressed in long gowns, one white and one green. The woman in white had a cold demeanor, carrying an air of inviolable aloofness. The woman in green looked younger, her beautiful face appearing somewhat cute and a bit naive.
The two women seemed a bit disheveled after the fierce battle just now, but even so, it couldn't hide their beauty. Their tattered clothes, on the contrary, revealed a different kind of charm.
Both women were of the highest caliber.
“Two young ladies, please wait,” Zhong Qing couldn't help but transmit his voice, looking at the two.
The two women, who were fleeing rapidly, naturally also saw Zhong Qing and the others. The white-clad woman leading them frowned immediately, “What are you doing running here?”
“To be honest, young lady, I originally came to exterminate this Yao Beast, but upon arriving here just now, I witnessed the battle between you two and that Yao Beast,” Zhong Qing said truthfully.
However.
Hearing Zhong Qing's words, the two women frowned even deeper.
“Sister, where did this show-off come from, bringing a bunch of rabble and thinking of exterminating this Demon Wolf?” The green-clad woman said with a furrowed brow, “If you want to put on a show and act cool, at least pick the right occasion. All this flashy nonsense, what kind of expert would act like this?”
“It’s one thing to want to show off yourself, but isn’t this leading people to their deaths?”
The white-clad woman also glanced at the lineup next to Zhong Qing.
A flashy sedan chair.
People playing the zither, people playing the flute.
And a motley crew of various family heads.
The City Guards, who looked somewhat decent, were in reality just a bunch of fragile vases that would shatter upon impact, probably unable to withstand even one claw from that Demon Wolf.
“You are not a match for that Demon Wolf. While we have temporarily trapped it with the Divine Soul Mist, you should hurry and leave. In half a quarter of an hour, the Divine Soul Mist will dissipate, and you won't have a chance to leave.”
The white-clad woman said expressionlessly.
“How do you know we’re not a match for the Demon Wolf without even fighting?” Zhong Qing couldn't help but smile, “May I ask, young lady, what is the specific Realm of that Demon Wolf?”
“I gave you good advice, but you wouldn’t listen. You truly don't know what's good for you, insisting on leading so many people to their deaths.”
Seeing Zhong Qing ignore her advice, the white-clad woman's delicate face couldn't help but show a hint of anger. She said coldly, “That Demon Wolf is at the Middle Stage of the Moon Profound Realm. This Realm should make you give up!”
“What?”
“Middle Stage of the Moon Profound Realm?”
“Run, quick, run.”
Upon hearing the woman's words, the family heads who had originally come to watch the show immediately panicked. Their bodies trembling, they prepared to flee.
Such a Realm was simply unimaginable for them; even a tiny bit of power leaking from its claws could potentially kill them.
And Bai Chen's expression twisted into a grimace.
He glanced at Zhong Qing and said with a heavy expression, “Senior Zhong, what should we do? Flee or fight?”
“If we flee, we'll retreat now. If we fight, I, along with my City Guards, will fully cooperate with you. We can attract the Demon Wolf's attention for you, creating an opportunity for your attack.”
Evidently, Bai Chen, who had been so confident in Zhong Qing, was now feeling apprehensive.
Although Hei Bai had revealed the strength of the Moon Profound Realm, the specific Realm within Yue Xuan was unknown, and Zhong Qing's strength was also a mystery.
Furthermore, due to the Physique and bestial nature of Yao Beasts, under normal circumstances, humans of the same level are not a match for Yao Beasts.
In other words, to stably eliminate this Demon Wolf at the Middle Stage of the Moon Profound Realm, it would require a human expert at the Late Stage of the Moon Profound Realm to be considered relatively stable.
So he wasn't looking down on Zhong Qing, but rather, this Demon Wolf was simply too strong.
However, as he nervously awaited Zhong Qing's decision, he found Zhong Qing patting his shoulder with a smile, calmly comforting him, “City Lord Bai, relax, there's no need to be like this.”
Because the Heavenly Eye has a casting range, and due to the distance of the Demon Wolf's previous battle location, Zhong Qing could not accurately determine the Demon Wolf's specific cultivation from either its aura or the Heavenly Eye.
Of course.
He had used his Heavenly Eye on the two women.
He saw that both women were at the Peak of the Star Profound Realm.
So when he saw the two women, he roughly guessed that the Demon Wolf was at the Moon Profound Realm.
And the reason he still asked the two women was mainly for confirmation.
The white-clad woman's answer was indeed as he expected.
This Realm is very easy to deal with, probably just a single finger.
Of course, if this Demon Wolf truly exceeded his estimation, he wouldn't be afraid either.
After signing in for so many years, he actually still had a little bit of a trump card hidden.
Of course, just a little bit.
“Thank you, two young ladies.”
Zhong Qing first cupped his hands towards the two women in mid-air, then said to Bai Chen, “City Lord Bai, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back.”
With that said.
Zhong Qing stood with his hands behind his back and slowly stepped into the air.
He headed straight towards the location of the Demon Wolf.
“This kid, ignoring advice and insisting on showing off to his death?”
“How can he be so ignorant?”
Seeing Zhong Qing's stubbornness, the green-clad woman frowned and said, “Even the two of us together aren't a match. Can he really single-handedly fight that Demon Wolf? Isn't this just a hothead throwing his life away?”
The white-clad woman, however, did not speak.
Her pupils constricted as she stared at Zhong Qing heading towards the Demon Wolf.
Zhong Qing flew all the way to the sky above the valley, looking at the lingering mist below. With a gentle wave of his hand, the mist immediately dispersed, and the valley became clear.
And the true form of the Three-Headed Demon Wolf, with its six flickering crimson pupils, reappeared.
The Three-Headed Demon Wolf immediately captured Zhong Qing's aura.
“Heh heh, I didn't expect two human women to just run away, and now another human boy has delivered himself to our doorstep. Brothers, it seems we can have a full meal again.”
A sinister voice came from one of the Three-Headed Demon Wolf's heads.
“That's right, brothers, and this human boy has tender skin and flesh; he looks like he'll taste very good,” another head said.
“Tell me, how did a Moon Profound Realm Yao Beast like you end up in a place like this?”
Zhong Qing ignored their words and instead questioned them back.
A place like Fengtian City, in the entire Eastern Region, was actually considered a remote area.
Under normal circumstances, a Yao Beast of this level would not appear here.
“Want to know? You'll find out once you're in our stomachs,” one of the wolf heads said mockingly, opening its enormous mouth and lunging towards Zhong Qing.
“Since you don't want to talk, then don't ever talk again.”
Facing the Demon Wolf's attack, Zhong Qing was not polite.
But for such a disgusting fellow, he didn't even want to touch it. He casually picked a leaf and flicked it over with an understated motion.
