Chapter 615 Star-Horned Wolves Debut

As the sun began to set over the mountain, a sense of unease settled over the disciples of the Crimson Slayer Sect. The disciples of the Crimson Slayer Sect had been practicing their cultivation techniques in the foothills of the mountain when Mira first appeared.

When they heard her challenge the entire Sect and saw that she was by herself, they were first enraged, and then they couldn't help but laugh!

"Hahaha! Does this woman think she can take us all by herself? What an idiot!"

"Forget about us; she'll die by the Sect Master's hands before we even get a chance to fight her."

"But why is she so angry? Wait! Are those tails?"

The disciples all looked up and watched Mira, who was floating above their Sect, waiting for the Sect Master to strike her down!

"Who is it?! Who dares to make a mockery of-IT'S YOU!!" The Sect Master's voice rang out, and the disciple's excitement grew palpable.

However, it was barely a few seconds later when suddenly, everything stopped, and the Sect Master's head flew off his body.

They didn't even have time to register an attack as the Sect Master's head fell.

*SWOOOOOOOOSH!*

However, a split second after he died, the earth split apart, and a large crevice formed in the ground, right outside the Sect.

"...!!!"

The disciples stood there, dumbfounded by what they saw! One second, he was flying out of the Sect, full of confidence; the next second, he was decapitated!

Was this really the Sect Master they knew?!

"W-What just happened?"

"Di…D-Did she just kill the Sect Master in a single strike??"

"W-Who is that woman? And why is she here?!"

"Wait! Nine Tails?? Fuck! It's that woman everybody's been looking for!!!"

"Dammit!! Why is that crazy woman here?! And why now?! I was just getting ready to break through too!"

"Run!! I'm out of here! You dumbasses can fight her if you want, but she's already taken down other branches, and I have no intention of getting slaughtered today!

It must be said that taking down the leader of a massive group like this severely decreased their morale!

Mira watched from above indifferently as the weaker members hurriedly gathered their belongings and scurried like rats once they understood who they were up against. Her reputation had grown quite a bit over the last few months, and people began to wonder when she'll strike next or if she'll strike next.

All the Crimson Slayer branches were on high alert, awaiting her arrival, but she never came. Most of the disciples had calmed down after a few months of inaction, but it was now that they understood that she was just waiting to get stronger before she restarted her rampage.

"Rhydian, take your Star-Horned Wolf friends and kill everyone who dares to leave. I don't want a single person to escape!" Mira ordered.

Rhydian barked in affirmation and dove down to the ground, where a few dozen Rank 7 Star-Horned wolves and many more Rank 6 ones came out of the woodwork.

The golden wolf gave them their instructions, and they didn't hesitate to take action.

Mira hovered in the sky for a bit, curious about why the Guardian told her that she should keep these little wolves.

Thankfully, it wasn't long before she understood why.

A group of a few Rank 6 Star-Horned wolves surrounded a Core Formation Realm woman.

"Hmph! I might not want to fight that beast of a woman up in the skies, but I'm more than strong enough to take care of a few wolves!" She snorted and dashed at the nearest wolf, not wanting to give them any time to react.

As the woman approached, their horns lit up with Qi, and bolts of lightning shot out of the tip.

In response to the sudden attack, the woman created a barrier that appeared to be made of fire and blood, blocking the attacks.

Then, she clenched her fists, turning the barrier into spears, and launched them at the wolves.

The wolves swiftly dodged the spears and began charging up their horns again. When fully charged, they shot another barrage of lightning at the woman, who sneered and created another barrier.

However, from behind the group of wolves, a wolf that she had missed jumped into the fray and shot a beam of light at her. It pierced straight through her barrier and put a gaping hole in her stomach.

"What?!" She screamed, feeling a searing pain in her stomach. Her barrier weakened for a moment, which the wolves took advantage of and shot a stronger, larger barrage of lightning at her.

The woman's eyes widened in fear as death encroached on her. She tried to raise another barrier, but their attacks were too fast.

"AHHHHHH!"

She screamed in pain as the lightning penetrated her skin, destroying her from the inside out.

A few seconds later, she looked no different than a large chunk of coal.

"Awwoooo!"

The wolves cried out, happy about their victory before they moved on to their next target.

The same thing was happening all around the battlefield. The Star-Horned wolves charged fearlessly under Rhydian's command and slaughtered everything that came their way.

Meanwhile, Rhydian flew around them, giving out commands and making sure that nobody died on her watch. These wolves were a part of her pack now; she couldn't have them dying on their first hunt!

While they worked in packs, they were incredibly efficient and could take down opponents in seconds with their tactics, power, and intelligence.

They were lightning-fast, their bodies flowing like water as they leaped and dodged, their fur bristling with energy.

The disciples tried to fight back, but the wolves were too quick for them. They darted in and out of the shadows, their movements graceful and deadly. Their horns crackled with energy, and bolts of lightning shot out toward their opponents.

However, that wasn't always the case. Some of the wolves had different affinities that allowed their packs to be more versatile.

The disciples tried to raise Qi Barriers to defend themselves, but the wolves' attacks were too precise and relentless, always targeting their weaknesses. It wasn't easy to make rational decisions in such a chaotic situation!

"Fuck! What's up with these wolves?! Why are they so strong?!"

"They're not strong; it's just that the golden one in the sky is leading them too well!"

"So, if we just kill it, then we won't have to worry about these bastards?!"

"Yeah!"

Rhydian overheard their conversation and flapped her wings in their direction, sending a wave of flames toward them.

As soon as it touched their skin, they instantly turned to ash, not even allowed to stifle a scream. She then went back to overseeing the Star-Horned wolves and watching how they fight with one another.

Not far away from her, one of the disciples, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, managed to land a blow on a Rank 7 wolf with a lightning-infused sword. But the wolf had coated its fur in lightning and absorbed most of the shock from the attack, blocking the rest with its thick fur and tough skin.

In response, the wolf charged forward, its horns glowing with a fierce energy. It unleashed a powerful blast of lightning, which struck the disciple in the chest, sending him flying through the air.

As the disciple crashed to the ground, the wolf leaped forward, its jaws snapping shut around the man's neck. The wolf's teeth sank deep into the flesh, and with a swift jerk of its head, it ripped the man's head clean off his body.

On another end of the battlefield, a woman at the Nascent Soul Realm tried to flee, but a pack of wolves quickly surrounded her. They moved in unison, their horns crackling with energy as they unleashed a barrage of lightning attacks.

The woman tried to defend herself, but the wolves were too quick. They darted in and out of her defenses, their attacks wearing her down.

Finally, one of the wolves leaped forward, its horns glowing with a fierce energy. The woman tried to raise a barrier of Qi, but the attack was too powerful. The wolf charged forward, and the horn pierced straight through the barrier, impaling the woman in the chest.

As the woman collapsed to the ground, the wolf let out a fierce howl of triumph. It shook its head, tearing the horn out of the woman's chest, and turned to face the next opponent.

For Mira, watching the wolves fight was a thing of beauty. It was so interesting to watch a group of wild beasts move together with fluidity, timing, trust, and grace while taking down their opponents efficiently.

She nodded, the tips of her lips curling up into a smile, 'It was a good idea for me not to kill them. With enough time and resources, I'll have myself a small army of highly intelligent and very powerful beasts who will do anything I say.'

"Oi! It was my idea for you to keep them! Don't act like it was yours!" The Guardian interrupted her moment, but she just ignored him.

As his master, it was well within her right to steal his ideas as her own.

"Tch! You damn tyrant!"

Mira ignored him again and turned to the Soul Transformation Realm and the few Nascent Soul Realm disciples who had stayed behind.
