320: Wolf King

Chen Tianming devoted himself to research, so much so that he didn't even have time to care for his wives.

When he emerged from his seclusion and pushed open the door to his home, he happened to see Ding Xiaoyu, her face flushed, her pajamas disheveled.

Chen Tianming gave a mischievous smile and immediately pounced on Ding Xiaoyu, feeling her smooth, soft skin.

After a passionate encounter, Chen Tianming gazed at the stars that night.

Wan Yue came to his side.

"Among countless stars, on which one should you be?"

Chen Tianming frowned, but in the end, he only countered with a question.

"And you? On which star are you?"

Wan Yue rarely showed a smile.

"It seems you've touched upon some profound mysteries; perhaps you really can take me back!"

Chen Tianming didn't refute her.

"To go back, one must first know where to go!"

Their gazes fell as the roars and howls of demonic beasts echoed from afar.

A massive human settlement was battered by strong winds.

Lights flickered on and off.

Screams and wails of humans emanated from within.

Strangely, those Cultivators who thought themselves superior, those who considered themselves aloof and extraordinary,

actually,

did not make a single move.

No one rescued the victims; the city crumbled and shattered.

Chen Tianming sighed atop the city wall.

"The people at the border of the two realms, I'm afraid no one will care for them!"

Wan Yue was puzzled.

"The world is inherently like this; powerful people are also like monsters, naturally much colder towards ordinary people!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianming suddenly had an epiphany, as if the myriad great daos he had absorbed from the Chess Saint had suddenly coalesced into a single thread.

Without Chen Tianming making any movement,

a brilliant light burst forth from his eyes.

A splendid beam of light traversed dozens of miles, piercing through the bodies of the rampaging demonic beasts.

The demonic beasts, previously excited, suddenly stopped, then screamed and twisted, transforming into a mass of black mist.

Chen Tianming then descended to this location.

There were still huge claw marks on the city gate.

Three large characters were carved on the plaque.

Chuyun City.

The ancient script was exceedingly beautiful, greatly impacting Chen Tianming. He flew forward and encountered a white-furred demonic beast coiling atop the city wall.

Sharp claws, blood-red eyes.

Some residue dropped from its blood-soaked maw.

As soon as Chen Tianming arrived, it glared at him with cold, stiff eyes, staring intently.

That ferocity and killing intent erupted like a tangible force.

The defending soldiers and cultivators retreated repeatedly until they collapsed onto the ground.

Chen Tianming, however, approached unhurriedly, step by step.

The large white-furred beast cautiously leaped down from the wall, supporting itself on all fours, watching fiercely.

Chen Tianming took another step forward.

The giant beast suddenly let out a wolf howl.

Countless white wolves surged out from the city, stirring up rolling dust.

Though not orderly, their strength lay in their numbers.

The scene was undeniably grand, with overwhelming momentum.

On the city wall, someone finally mustered the courage to rush forward.

"You... why don't you... hide first?"

Chen Tianming ignored him and instead reprimanded coldly.

"Beast! What crime is it to slaughter living beings?!"

The Wolf King frowned and bared its fangs fiercely.

But then it realized that the infuriating target before it had vanished.

Smack!

A wave of air seemed to surge, and the massive white wolf was sent flying hundreds of feet, its body creating a gully in the ground as it was struck.

Wherever it passed, the wolf pack was scattered, whimpering and screaming.

Chen Tianming took another step, standing before the Wolf King.

"Evil beast, still intending to harm?"

Though the Wolf King was defeated, its murderous gaze was undisguised.

Chen Tianming gave it no room to maneuver.

"A beast is a beast. If you're not convinced, then be a good person in your next life!"

After speaking, he raised his hand, and immense power instantly gathered in his palm.

Chen Tianming could simply wave his hand and crush the Wolf King to death.

But at that moment, a tender cry emerged, followed by the sight of several exquisitely beautiful women rushing over.

Leading them was the Silver Moon Enchantress Fox.

She threw herself onto Chen Tianming, her injured body soft and weak.

"Benefactor! I beg you, don't kill him!"

The Silver Moon Enchantress Fox, tear-streaked and with her spiritual body weakened, occasionally revealed her true fox form.

Chen Tianming had no choice but to support her with his body.

However, he didn't understand why the Silver Moon Enchantress Fox would cry over a wolf.

"Not kill him? Do you know how many innocent people this evil beast has harmed?"

Chen Tianming pointed, and on the city wall, there were hideous, rough claw marks.

The Silver Moon Enchantress Fox was overcome with guilt, almost spitting blood and collapsing onto Chen Tianming. She coughed several times before weakly leaning against Chen Tianming.

"This evil beast is Silver Moon's own brother!"

Chen Tianming remained expressionless, but waited silently for the Silver Moon Enchantress Fox to explain.

"Benefactor, whether it's Silver Moon or the evil beast you speak of, we are different from the Heavenly Spirit people. Legend has it that heavenly gods descended to make the human race prosper, but we, who gradually evolved from wild beasts into humans, have for many years been called the demon race!"

"I am a fox demon. I was captured, and all my spiritual roots and bloodlines were cleansed and replaced. Whenever the Silver Moon Enchantress Fox appears, my consciousness disappears, and my spiritual body is no longer under control..."

The Silver Moon Enchantress Fox was halfway through her explanation when Chen Tianming immediately interrupted.

"Wait! Are you saying someone specifically captures demons, injects new essence into your bloodlines, and then controls you?"

The Silver Moon Enchantress Fox desperately knelt, her voice soft.

"If Benefactor doesn't believe me, you can examine my brother's body!"

Chen Tianming didn't hesitate; he formed his hand into a palm and sliced it out.

With one strike, red veins popped out of the white-furred wolf, and blood spurted.

The large wolf cried out in agony.

Chen Tianming extended a hand, and the red blood floated in his palm.

With another wave of his hand, the large wolf's body miraculously healed.

Then, Chen Tianming gently shook the red blood as if shaking a wine glass, causing it to separate into two different liquids, one yellow and one red.

Chen Tianming frowned, then acted again.

His palm plunged directly into the Wolf King's chest. The Wolf King roared in pain, but that roar gradually transformed into human screams, so agonizing that it made one's hair stand on end.

"Ah!!!"

A naked man, his face contorted, was held by the heart by Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming then withdrew his hand, gently waved it, and shook the blood clean from his hand.

Then he nodded.

"It is indeed being controlled by someone... However, you have killed thousands of people. Do you know your sin?"

The Wolf King, now in human form, had blood overflowing from his chest, but he made no move to protect the wound.

He merely said coldly,

"No!"

"When your human race oppressed living beings, where were you? When your human race attacked fellow compatriots, where were you then?"

"If we are to talk about sin today, then it is simply that my cultivation was inferior to others, and I was schemed against and controlled!"

Chen Tianming laughed angrily.

"Good! Good, good! Since that's the case, I will oppress you one more time!"

As he spoke, he violently waved his hand.

The man was slammed against the wall with a loud thud, and countless spikes extended from the wall, piercing and pinning his entire body at a hundred meridian points, leaving him covered in blood.

"If you can escape, you can cultivate. If you become stronger than me, then come and kill me. Otherwise, you must not create any more slaughter!"

Then he flicked his sleeve and said to the Silver Moon Enchantress Fox,

"I promised you, I didn't kill him!"

The Silver Moon Enchantress Fox lowered her head, nodding, and when she looked back, she still gazed at her brother with some heartache.

And in the Wolf King's eyes, only surprise and unwillingness remained.
