Chapter 57: 57

After the Qi Gathering Array was activated, the disciples entered in turn. Although it was only two hours, the cultivation inside was equivalent to a whole day’s worth, making them incomparably happy. 

Jun Changxiao sat cross-legged inside the Main Hall, cultivating the Tendon Altering Sutra. 

The disciples had the Qi Gathering Array, but he couldn’t use it. Unfortunately, he could only rely on normal rote cultivation. 

“Enough energy has been gathered, breakthrough!”

Jun Changxiao gathered the spiritual energy in his meridians together, then launched an attack on his last unopened meridian. 

The result? Failure. 

“Oh,” he sighed. “With my luck, it might be better to use the system store.”

The system said, [Although the Tendon Altering Sutra can help during the Meridian Opening Realm, if the host wants to break through to the last stage, it will be very difficult.]

“Oh.” Jun Changxiao made a sound of agreement and picked up the Modified Desert Eagle, appreciating it. “Should I go to Qingyang City and select a savage beast’s core?”

Can’t breakthrough right now? I’ll just focus on my equipment then. 

“Oh, right!” He smacked his forehead. “There was a sect mission about killing an Earthly Flame Wolf! That should be a powerful savage beast. I can task Qingyang with killing it and obtain a crystal core.”

The system said, [That is a three star mission, requiring many disciples to cooperate for completion. Sending one person is equivalent to a death sentence.]

“So serious?” 

Jun Changxiao hesitated slightly before calling Li Qingyang, Lu Qianqian, and Su Xiaomo. 

“There is an Earthly Flame Wolf terrorizing Qingyang Village. You three are tasked with eradicating this calamity. This Lord will accompany you.”

“An Earthly Flame Wolf?” Li Qingyang’s expression darkened and he seriously said, “Sect Head, that is a fire-type savage beast comparable to a Martial Apprentice. It is a little difficult…”

“That is why I will be accompanying you three on this mission,” explained Jun Changxiao. 

“Mission received,” said Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo. 

Lu Qianqian had already started walking towards the entrance. 

[Ding! Mission has been assigned.]

[Mission Overview: Please help the Qingyang villagers eradicate the Earthly Flame Wolf in the westside mountain valley {Incomplete}]

[Receiving Disciple(s): Lu Qianqian, Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo.]

[Reward: Upon completion, the host will obtain 5 achievement points and 5 contribution points.]

“Five points? That’s pretty good.”

To the west of Qingyang Village was a mountain valley covered by dense fog, which the villagers called the Wolf Valley.

The villagers did not fear ordinary wolves. But over the past few years, an Earthly Flame Wolf had come out to torch and harass the villagers. 

After the former Sect Head Wang descended the mountain, he had suppressed the Earthly Flame Wolf into obediently listening and staying away. But the wolf was inherently cruel and had recently started to steal the livestock, causing huge economic losses. 

On this day, three Ironbone Sect disciples were in said mountain valley. Two people held sharp swords, another held a wooden sword. They faced the Earthly Flame Wolf, circling around its feet. 

“Good luck, you can do it!”

On a tree outside of the valley, Jun Changxiao was loudly cheering on his disciples.

“…”

“…”

Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo had weird expressions on their faces, mouths twitching. 

This leader of theirs… Didn’t he say that he was there to remove the dangers? Why was he standing on a tree, making the three of them endure the might of a Martial Apprentice Realm savage beast?

“Roar!”

The Tibetan Mastiff sized Earthly Flame Wolf roared loudly, baring its fangs in a snarl. Not only did its eyes gleam, its entire body was covered in flames, looking very imposing. 

“I will be the main attacker, you assist from the side.”

Lu Qianqian imbued her sword with spiritual energy and it glitterred brilliantly. She stepped forward to attack, displaying a mysterious footwork. 

When she was serious, she was unusually refined. 

Jun Changxiao held his chin and commented, “This woman should have a step technique.”

Shua!

Li Qingyang strode forward, following closely behind. He attacked from the side, teaming up with his senior apprentice sister to attack from the front and right side. 

Su Xiaomo did not step up, not because he was afraid of death, but because he had only opened four meridians. Even if he had a low-grade sword in his hands, his strength was still insufficient to harm a Martial Apprentice Realm savage beast.

I must seize the right timing and attack! Su Xiaomo thought to himself. 

Shua!

Shua!

Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang attacked the Earthly Flame Wolf again and again, swords glowing as they rushed in from the front and the back.

Shua!

The Earthly Flame Wolf suddenly leapt forward, immediately bursting out of the net of sword qi. It stopped a few meters away, turning around to spit flame at them. 

Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang scurried to the side and the flames blasted the stone walls behind them. The rock exploded into a burnt pit, indicating that the column of flame was extraordinarily powerful. 

Bang! Bang!

The Earthly Flame Wolf opened its mouth and spat out two more columns of flame, attacking the two people. 

Although the attack was powerful, it was slow, allowing them to easily escape. 

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, even if Li Qingyang and Lu Qianqian could avoid the attacks, the Earthly Flame Wolf was like a cannon, continuously shooting out balls of flame. 

“Damn.” The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched. “You can roast more than keyboard warriors.”

After several volleys, Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang could only continue to run around and were unable to approach the wolf. 

An opportunity, realized Su Xiaomo.

When the Earthly Flame Wolf was attacking his senior sister and senior brother, Su Xiaomo crawled behind it. Pouring spiritual energy into his sword, he suddenly slashed at it. 

Ding!

That slash contained 1000 jin of strength. But when Su Xiaomo hit the Earthly Flame Wolf’s back, there was a loud clanging sound and his fingers tingled with numbness. “Fuck, its skin is so hard!”

 Shua!

The Earthly Flame King angrily turned its head. 

“Hehe.” With a stupid smile on his face, Su Xiaomo said, “I was trying out your defense, do not mind me…” As he said so, he ran away on his short legs, yelling, “Aiya! Holy shit! Senior Brother, Senior Sister, hurry and save me!”

Hu! Hu!

The Earthly Flame Wolf opened its large mouth, swiftly condensing a ball of flames. 

Jun Changxiao, who was watching from the tree, loudly shouted, “Little Mo, quickly go out of position!” 

Out of position?

What type of…? Can’t you see that I’m trying to escape?

Although Su Xiaomo was puzzled, he turned his head and discovered that the Earthly Flame Wolf was about to fire a ball of flames. Since it could only aim straight in front of it, he quickly changed how he ran, escaping in a Z-shape and silently prayed, It will miss, it will miss… 

Bang!

The fireball blasted outwards. Fortunately, Su Xiaomo had run in a poorly straight line. It just barely glanced his buttcheeks, burning a small hole in his pants, sparking a little. 

“Ah! I’m on fire!”

As he ran, Su Xiaomo slapped at the small sparks of flame on his ass, creating an amusing image. 

Shua! Shua!

Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang seized this opportunity, approaching the Earthly Flame Wolf to instantaneously sever its head. Chilling intent and sword qi filled the area. 

“Roar!” 

The Earthly Flame Wolf roared. It beautifully avoided the sword aimed at its neck, but was unable to realize that another attack was aimed at its spine! 

Puchi—

The spiritual power imbued into the Cold Edge Sword froze its body as the sword created a deep gash, blood pouring out of the wound. 

Li Qingyang secretly exclaimed, This sword is really sharp!

Puchi—

At this moment, Lu Qianqian had slashed once more and successfully sliced the wolf’s neck. Although its head did not fly off, there was a deep gash. 

Shua!

Li Qingyang did not hesitate to infuse spiritual power into the Cold Edge Sword and hack at the wound left by his senior sister. 

Puchi—

With that second sword strike, the Earthly Flame Wolf’s head flew off, rolling to a stop in front of Su Xiaomo.

“Motherfucker! I’ll let you spit fire, I’ll let you spit fire!” Su Xiaomo lifted his feet and repeatedly stamped down on the wolf’s head. 

[Ding! Lu Qianqian, Li Qingyang, and Su Xiaomo have killed the Earthly Flame Wolf, completing the sect mission.]

[Ding!]

[Sect Contribution Points: 74/100.]

[Sect Achievement Points: 41/100.]

“Qingyang,” Jun Changxiao called out. “Check if there’s a crystal core!”

Li Qingyang lifted his spear and cut the Earthly Flame Wolf’s chest. A red crystal tumbled out. “Sect Head, there is one!”

Jun Changxiao grinned. 

“The gun now has bullets.”
