Chapter 58: 58

Kneeling before a small stream, Li Qingyang dabbed with his sleeve at the blood-stained Cold Edge Sword. 

This was the first time he used the sword bestowed by Sect Head Jun and was very satisfied with its performance. He secretly thought, If I had such a sharp weapon before, I wouldn’t have been seriously wounded by those savage beasts.

Su Xiaomo sat on a rock a few meters away, enviously looking at Senior Brother Li and his Cold Edge Sword. I must perform well and obtain Sect Head’s approval, changing my wooden sword for one like Senior Brother’s!

Lu Qianqian was resting under a tree, bright eyes staring into the distance. She looked like she was appreciating the natural wonders, but occasionally shot a glance at Jun Changxiao, who was looking distressed. “What’s wrong with him?”

There wasn’t anything wrong with Jun Changxiao, just that there was a small problem: How was he supposed to load the crystal core into the Desert Eagle so that it could form bullets?

In the space of the storage ring, Jun Changxiao was holding the pistol in one hand and the scarlet core in the other. He had tried multiple times already — tossing them into the air together, banging them together, looking for a way to dismantle the gun — but nothing had any effect. 

Jun Changxiao was speechless. “There’s not even a manual, how am I supposed to figure it out?”

The system said: [The host can use spiritual sense to transfer the energy from the core to the pistol, integrating it through the bottom groove.]

“Groove?”

Jun Changxiao flipped his wrist and discovered that there was indeed a groove. He immediately sat cross-legged and tried to use spiritual sense to observe the crystal. It was surprisingly easy and he soon felt the fierce spiritual power of the wolf’s core. 

Savage beast cores were a source of boundless spiritual power, but could only be used after refinement. 

The refined cores had many functions, like powering pill cauldrons and strengthening weapons, and were thus too expensive for ordinary cultivators. 

Jun Changxiao slowly refined the fierce spiritual power and dragged it, only to see it trickle like a stream of water towards the pistol. He then integrated it through a groove on the bottom of the pistol. Afterwards, a small red dot inside of the pistol began to glow. 

Ding!

After a moment, rays of light resembling bullets formed in this area. Jun Changxiao guessed this meant that a bullet had been loaded. 

Ding!

Ding!

The spiritual power continued to flow along the groove and small bullet shapes gradually accumulated. Soon, seven bullets were arranged in a line. 

At this time, spiritual power could no longer be added. Apparently, the magazine had been filled. 

Only about half of the energy contained in the core had been used up. 

“Seven bullets is not a lot…” Jun Changxiao didn’t continue thinking that way, but muttered, “It would be good if there was an extra clip.”

Shua!

With a thought, he summoned the Desert Eagle into physical being and held the gun with both hands, aiming at the rocks on the road. “Hands up, this is the police!”

Lu Qianqian calmly said, “What an idiot.”

Su Xiaomo leaned over, an eye right next to the muzzle. He grinned, “Sect Head, what is this thing?”

“It is a gun.”

Jun Changxiao hurriedly moved the gun to the side, fearing that he might accidentally pull the trigger and cause an accident. 

Su Xiaomo was dumbfounded. “This is a spear?” [1]

To his understanding, a spear had to have a shaft and a speartip!

Jun Changxiao explained, “It is better to call this a hidden weapon. It can shoot darts which are virtually impossible to guard against.”

After it was explained this way, Su Xiaomo understood. Smiling, he asked, “Can Sect Head shoot and show this disciple?”

Jun Changxiao shook his head. “There are not many darts inside. When not in a life-threatening situation, it is better not to casually waste them.”

“So it’s like that…” Su Xiaomo scratched his head and drew back. 

Li Qingyang piped up from the side, “Sect Head, what is the police?”

“Uh…” Jun Changxiao perfunctorily said, “This Lord just thoughtlessly said so, don’t worry about it.”

He glanced at the sky. “Let’s go, time to return to the sect.”

He clipped the Desert Eagle to his waist and walked with great strides. After all, with a gun on him, he was safe!

Roar!!

Suddenly, a ferocious roar came from Wolf Valley. 

Li Qingyang frowned. “Sect Head, that is the sound of another wolf beast. Is there more than one wolf in the valley?”

“It’s coming” Lu Qianqian put her jade-like hand on her sword, eyes flashing. 

Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo were also immediately on alert. 

Shua!

Soon, a flaming shadow emerged from the grass, standing a few dozen meters away. 

It was a savage beast that looked very similar to the Earthly Flame Wolf, but was much larger, being almost two meters tall and covered in even hotter flames. 

Li Qingyang solemnly concluded, “An Earthly Flame Wolf King.”

Lu Qianqian’s willow brows wrinkled. “That is a low seventh-stage savage beast.”

Falling Star Continent’s savage beasts also had careful divisions, those being low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade savage beasts, corresponding with Martial Apprentice, Martial Master, and Martial Ancestor respectively.

Above savage beasts were the spirit beasts, which were similarly divided into low, middle, and high grades, corresponding with Martial King, Martial Sovereigns, and Martial Saints. There were also holy beasts, which were comparable with Martial Emperors.  

Whatever type of beast it was, they were also classified into first to ninth stages.

Previously, Lu Qianqian and the others had killed an Earthly Flame Wolf of the low second stage savage beast. This Earthly Flame Wolf King was a low seventh stage savage beast, equivalent to a Seventh Stage Martial Apprentice.

Low second and low seventh, the difference was huge. 

“This is troublesome.”

Li Qingyang’s eyebrows furrowed. He wielded the sword, brandishing it at the wolf. “You guys leave first, I will stall it!”

Jun Changxiao smacked a palm onto his disciple’s face, shoving him to the side. Standing in front of them, he said, “Remember, my Ironbone Unyielding Sect’s first rule is to be unafraid of life or death, eliminate whatever you cannot accept.”

Li Qingyang was dumbfounded. 

Su Xiaomo’s mouth twitched. “Sect Head, isn’t our sect’s first rule to be an unyielding person, to behave unyieldingly?”

“I just changed it,” replied Jun Changxiao. 

Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo almost collapsed. Their sect’s first rule had changed so suddenly, wasn’t that too disearnest?

“All of you retreat. Today, this Lord will execute this domestic animal,” Jun Changxiao said as he took out the Desert Eagle. 

Unexpectedly, the three disciples eagerly withdrew, retreating before he had even finished speaking. 

From a distance away, Su Xiaomo cheered, “Good luck, you can do it Sect Head!”

These lines were a little familiar-sounding…

Jun Changxiao shook his head. He naturally pointed the muzzle at the Wolf King and proudly said, “Evil creature, you don’t have much time left.”

Roar! 

The Earthly Flame Wolf King roared and flames spurted out on all sides as it sprinted forwards. 

“Courting death!”

Jun Changxiao put his index finger on the trigger and opened fire with a pah…. 

But there was no bullet firing, no movement — nothing!

Fuck!

What was this situation?

Jun Changxiao quickly pulled the trigger two more times and heard the pah, pah sounds, but no bullet was actually fired. 

Roar!

The Earthly Flame Wolf King rushed over, leaping towards him with its claws out and jaws wide, flames covering the area.

The proud look on Jun Changxiao’s face immediately disappeared as he hurriedly rolled to the side. Is this fucking thing an actual gun or just a model?

The system said: [The host did not load any bullets.]

“Fuck, I forgot!”

Jun Changxiao quickly stumbled backwards. While the Earthly Flame Wolf King was still in the air, he pulled the barrel of the gun back. 

“Evil creature, die!” In a half-kneeling position, he pulled the trigger once more. 

…Only to hear a slight snap sound, without firing a bullet. 

Damn it!

Now, what was this situation?

“What is Sect Head doing? Why does he not use the hidden weapon?”

“If I didn’t guess wrong, Sect Head should be practicing his reflexes.”

“My god! Practicing his reflexes against a low seventh stage savage beast, Sect Head is simply too fierce!”

Su Xiaomo had a whole face of worship. 

Roar!

The Earthly Flame Wolf King turned its head, opening its mouth to spit out a large flame ball. 

A wolf king was still a wolf king!

But the fireball was slow. 

Jun Changxiao tumbled to the side again, avoiding the flames. He was going wild, screaming, “System, what’s the fucking problem this time?”

[Host, the safety is still engaged.]

Fucking hell…

Jun Changxiao wanted to collapse, his soul almost leaving his body in stupefaction. He quickly turned the pistol sleeve towards himself and found that there was a small hammer near the back and hurriedly flicked it off.

Roar!

The Earthly Flame Wolf King rushed towards him again, faster than before. The flames were everburning as it tried to rip the human before it apart. 

“Sect Head is in danger!” Su Xiaomo’s complexion drastically paled. 

Clang! Clang!

Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang drew their swords in unison. 

They were just about to rush forward when they heard a loud bang. 

Eardrums still throbbing, they stopped, dumbstruck. 

[1] The character used, ​​枪, can mean either ‘gun’ or ‘spear’. Obviously, Su Xiaomo has no idea what a firearm is (because that’s something from Earth) and thinks Jun Changxiao means a spear \
