Chapter 32：Thunder Strike

Howl! Howl!

The two giant wolves were enraged after Lan Qingcheng's sudden attack. The female wolf let out a long howl and stood up. Baring its teeth, it dashed towards Lan Qingcheng. As it crouched forward, black Qi filled its pupils that were overflowing with a demonic and murderous aura.

Nearby, the male wolf stood up and snarled at Lan Qingcheng. The part where Lan Qingcheng hit it only bled a little and she had not caused any serious injury. 

"How's that possible? My Qiankun Seal is an advanced-level martial art skill, but it's not even hurt." Lan Qingcheng was shocked. The physique of the demonic beasts was bigger and stronger than humans. However, Lan Qingcheng had the strength of a seventh-tier tempered body. Combined with an advanced-level martial art skill, that blow alone should have crushed the giant wolf.

Roar!

It was at that moment that the two giant wolves tore out, their mouths wide open and ready to chomp down on Lan Qingcheng. Black demonic Qi spilled out of their jaws. 

Suddenly, Lan Qingcheng and these two demonic wolves unleashed a fierce battle. The two demonic wolves were more powerful than she could ever have imagined. Their bones were as hard as steel. Even if she attacked them with advanced-level martial arts skills, it just was not enough to injure them severely. For a moment, the forest was filled with tremendous demonic Qi.

Facing the vengeance from the two demonic wolves, Lan Qingcheng darted around, demonstrating her enigmatic footwork. She moved unpredictably, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. 

Ji Mo hid in the bushes, observing the battle between Lan Qingcheng and the two demonic wolves. He frowned. The instincts of wolves were to kill, and Lan Qingcheng had interrupted their good time, so of course, they would exact revenge.

Gradually, after facing attacks from the two demonic wolves, she could barely handle the fight. Although the two demonic wolves were gigantic, their movements were surprisingly agile. Finally, Lan Qingcheng could not find the opportunity to attack and was forced to retreat.

Ji Mo sighed in the dark. He had overestimated Lan Qingcheng. The lady had no real battle experience at all and thought that she could be victorious just by relying on her strong cultivation base. However, the power of the two demonic wolves exceeded her judgment. If Ji Mo had not helped her, her life would have been in danger.

"I really can't do anything with her." Ji Mo sighed while the Celestial Devil Power churned in his body. Immense power rumbled in his flesh and blood, ready to erupt at any moment. 

Roar!

The burly demonic wolf pounced and its claws swiped the front of Lan Qingcheng's chest. Fortunately, her reaction was nimble and she swiftly performed her mysterious footwork to retreat. Otherwise, that swipe would have clawed away half of her breast.

Drenched in sweat, Lan Qingcheng stumbled back panting. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and agitation. Initially, she wanted to show her abilities off to Ji Mo, but the two demonic wolves' power exceeded her expectations. Instead, she was being embarrassed.

She turned around to look at where Ji Mo was hiding only to find out that he was missing. Lan Qingcheng felt disappointed at once and gritted her teeth. 'That chap ran away? Horrible! I didn't think he'd be the kind of person to back out. Before this, he was still boasting about challenging Dong Hao and others, but he turned out to be useless, abandoning me at this hour!'

Roar!

While Lan Qingcheng was in a daze, the huge demonic wolf rushed towards her with its jaws wide open, aiming for her snow-white neck as it was ready to tear her apart. Lan Qingcheng's heart froze and she could even smell the horrible breath of the demonic wolf. She closed her eyes in despair. 'Am I really going to die just like that? How useless! I'll actually die at the paws of these animals and will never see my parents again…'

"Move aside!"

As Lan Qingcheng was in her greatest despair, she heard a miraculous voice. She opened her eyes immediately and saw a figure descend from mid-air. The figure was scrawny but emitted a powerful aura. The young boy's black hair and eyes were as bright as the stars.

Ji Mo descended from mid-air without saying another word. The Celestial Devil Power pervaded his legs and he violently stomped on the body of the beefy demonic wolf. Along with a bang, the demonic wolf was crushed beneath his feet and the sound of its bones cracking could be heard.

Howl!

The cries of the wild wolf echoed throughout the forest. It sounded terribly miserable like a ghost and it sent chills down one's spine. 

After that, Ji Mo lifted his leg once more while the mighty Celestial Devil Power flowed towards them with its infinite power, and he viciously kicked the other brawny demonic wolf.

Bang!

The demonic wolf flew out through the air like a ball after he kicked it. It slammed into an ancient tree, and then it let out a shriek. 

Lan Qingcheng was dumbfounded. While she gaped at the young man who was half a head shorter than her, she could not imagine how that diminutive little body could contain so much powerful energy that could have sent a demonic wolf the size of a calf flying in the air. The enormous demonic wolf and Ji Mo's slight build were simply incomparable. The comparison made it even more obvious that Ji Mo's kick was extremely powerful.

"Are you okay?" Ji Mo turned around and flashed a gentle smile at her.

At the sight of the tender and gentle smile, Lan Qingcheng was shocked at first. Being the young girl that she was, she felt outraged because she thought Ji Mo had abandoned her and escaped, leaving her in despair and hopelessness. However, when Lan Qingcheng was at her most helpless, Ji Mo had miraculously appeared and rescued her like a strike of lightning.

In an instant, Lan Qingcheng felt a rush of multiple grievances, causing her to tear up and she shouted at Ji Mo, "You b*stard, you obviously knew that I couldn't beat those two animals. Why didn't you step in earlier? Why did you just let me feel so terrified? I thought you ran away…"

After all, she was still a young 16- to 17-year-old girl who was still naive. Having just cheated death, Lan Qingcheng poured out a flood of tears. 

"Hey, why are you crying? You didn't want me to attack in the first place," Ji Mo said with a face full of complaints.

Roar!

At that moment, the female wolf raced forward. It had witnessed Ji Mo's kick send the male wolf flying, so there was fear in its eyes. This demonic beast had developed some spiritual intelligence and it knew that Ji Mo was powerful, so it did not attack him head-on. When it saw Ji Mo's back facing it, the female wolf attacked ferociously, snapping at him.

"Watch out! Behind you!" the sobbing Lan Qingcheng warned immediately. 

Ji Mo's eyes had a dark glow and he turned around to face the demonic wolf which was just centimeters away. The demonic wolf's jaws opened and he could even see the clear outline of its sharp fangs as though they were blades and swords, as well as smell the horrible breath that it emitted. 

'Essence-Unifying Slab Splitter!' Ji Mo shouted in his heart. Tremendous power formed on his palms. Then, he lifted both palms and pressed them viciously towards the head of the demonic wolf. Massive Celestial Devil Power erupted from his palms, and the demonic wolf's head was crushed like a watermelon.

Pop!

Blood mixed with the demonic wolf's pale white brains splattered everywhere. The demonic wolf's entire head was crushed to a pulp by a single strike of Ji Mo's palms. Its body slumped to the ground and never moved again. 

At that point, from the shattered head of the demon wolf, a shiny black bead bounced out and rolled down at Ji Mo's feet.
