Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Ye Ming stood there stunned.

"Is there anything else, senior?"

Ye Ming was somewhat puzzled.

"Lead the way ahead."

Ding Fan said calmly. He then got up and walked towards Ye Ming.

Hearing his words, Ye Ming was overjoyed. He really didn't expect Ding Fan to genuinely plan to help him. Without a moment's delay, he quickly stepped forward, bowed, and clasped his fists in gratitude, saying:

"Thank you so much, senior, for your life-saving grace. I, Ye Ming, will never forget your kindness!"

Ding Fan didn't say much more.

Then, Ye Ming directly led the way quickly.

Before long, Ye Ming led Ding Fan to a wooded area. At this moment, the sky was pitch black, though nothing was visible, it was no problem for Ding Fan with his powerful Divine Sense.

While walking, Ding Fan roughly learned from Ye Ming about the strength of the group of Yuan Beasts that had trapped their companions. It was a pack of third-grade Silver Horned Wolves.

Regarding this, Ding Fan wasn't too worried. With his own cultivation, as long as it wasn't a Fifth Grade or higher Yuan Beast, there was no threat to him.

The strength of Yuan Beasts is divided into nine ranks. The first five ranks of Yuan Beasts grow relatively slowly in strength, and a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast is equivalent to an ordinary Late Nascent Soul Cultivator. A third-grade Yuan Beast is equivalent to a cultivator at the Late Embryonic Breath Stage. Generally speaking, encountering a Fifth Grade Yuan Beast is alarming, and even handling a third-grade Yuan Beast is formidable.

In the Cultivation World, not many cultivators reach Ding Fan's Late Nascent Soul Stage since the gap between Nascent Soul and Embryonic Breath cultivators is vast.

Yuan Beasts above the Fifth Grade usually have terrifying power, such that even general cultivator experts dare not provoke them easily. A Grade Nine Yuan Beast is even mightier than a cultivator in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, being a formidable force.

Yuan Beasts generally possess much greater strength than human cultivators, so a cultivator of the same cultivation level might not manage to defeat a Yuan Beast. In addition, Yuan Beasts like to live in groups, frequently banding together to hunt, so most cultivators steer well clear when they spot a Yuan Beast.

Ding Fan was puzzled as to how Ye Ming had attracted these troublesome Yuan Beasts.

Soon after, with Ye Ming guiding him, Ding Fan arrived near the cave Ye Ming had mentioned.

Upon arrival, the surroundings were very quiet, and under the moonlight, appeared eerily mysterious. For a moment, not a single Yuan Beast was spotted.

Ding Fan couldn't help but let out a cold snort in his heart; these Yuan Beasts were indeed cunning. He then released True Qi to envelop his entire body, remaining extremely cautious.

Ye Ming, leading the way ahead, very cautiously and carefully led the way, and for a while did not detect any Yuan Beast traces, involuntarily relaxing his vigilance slightly.

"Could it be that those Yuan Beasts have all left..."

Ye Ming felt a sense of relief at the thought, believing that with the Yuan Beasts gone, rescuing his companions would be much smoother.

He then walked with less caution than before, strutting ahead boldly.

Ding Fan, however, felt no relaxation at all. Instead, he grew more cautious. Based on his experience, their current situation was even more dangerous than anticipated. He softly reminded Ye Ming.

"Senior, don't worry. I suppose those Yuan Beasts, unable to find my friends, have all left by now."

Watching Ye Ming speak so nonchalantly, Ding Fan found it somewhat amusing. However, he showed no outward opinion. He knew that dealing with Yuan Beasts wasn't that easy.

Suddenly, just as Ye Ming finished speaking, a fierce-looking Silver Horned Wolf leapt out at him, immediately pouncing toward him.

Ye Ming couldn't help but exclaim in shock at this scene. He never imagined such a Yuan Beast would be lurking nearby, and regretted his earlier words.

Almost at the moment the Silver Horned Wolf leapt, Ding Fan flicked his hand and a Wind Blade shot out.

In the next instant, the Silver Horned Wolf was severed at the waist, spilling blood onto the ground.

Ye Ming let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this and threw Ding Fan a grateful look, about to speak his thanks.

Yet, just as Ye Ming was about to speak, seven or eight Silver Horned Wolves suddenly leapt out from all around, charging towards Ding Fan and Ye Ming.

In an instant, Ding Fan realized—these Silver Horned Wolves surely had some skill to hide their presence. Otherwise, with his ability, he wouldn't have failed to detect them. This did not shock Ding Fan too much, for Yuan Beasts naturally had keener senses than human cultivators. Having some hidden means was not all that surprising.

Before him, the seven or eight Silver Horned Wolves were sturdy and robust, with sizes no less than that previous Golden Core Leopard, and their overall strength was far superior.

The most ferocious aspect of the Silver Horned Wolf was its fang pair, significantly larger than ordinary Yuan Beast fangs, extremely sharp, and uniquely silver-colored, which is why they were called Silver Horned Wolves. Cultivators knew that being bitten by a Silver Horned Wolf's fangs guaranteed a fatal outcome.

Ding Fan instantly drew the dagger he had seized earlier, fiercely swinging it at the silver-horned wolves lunging at him. In no time, each wolf that approached Ding Fan was immediately eviscerated, and more silver-horned wolves, enraged by the death of their companions, charged at Ding Fan.

As Ding Fan wielded the dagger, he also unleashed wind blades one after another. At this moment, not only did he need to kill the silver-horned wolves, but he also had to occasionally protect Ye Ming.

In contrast to Ding Fan's composure in the face of danger, Ye Ming seemed extremely disoriented. Despite his own injuries and his cultivation being inferior to these silver-horned wolves, he was flustered, constantly retreating behind Ding Fan.

Watching Ding Fan handle the pack of silver-horned wolves with ease, Ye Ming looked utterly astonished.

What kind of powerful cultivation does this person possess?! To face an attack from so many third grade Yuan Beasts without panic!

Is this something a normal person can achieve?

At this moment, several silver-horned wolves stared coldly at Ding Fan, their expressions clearly surprised.

How can this ordinary human be so formidable?

Continuous wolf howls echoed, filled with grief and resentment.

By now, Ding Fan was surrounded by the corpses of many silver-horned wolves, their blood turning the ground a dark red. Some wolves lying near death whimpered in agony.

Meanwhile, Ding Fan seemed untouched by harm, aside from being splattered with wolf blood.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming, standing close behind Ding Fan, was left stunned and speechless. More silver-horned wolves continued to lunge from the forest, three times more than what he and his companions had encountered.

He finally understood why Ding Fan had been so cautious before, warning him to be careful, clearly sensing the danger of this place.

Suddenly, an ancient and furious howl was heard, distinct from the common silver-horned wolf howl.

After the special howl, the wolf pack stopped attacking Ding Fan and Ye Ming, turning and running toward a direction in the forest.

Seeing this, Ding Fan felt a pang of unease. Ye Ming observed the tense look on Ding Fan's face and dared not utter a word.

Soon after, in Ye Ming's shocked gaze, appeared a massive silver-horned wolf, three times taller than average, with two half-meter long, gleaming silver fangs protruding from its mouth. Its distinctive silver fur clearly set it apart from other silver-horned wolves, and its glowing green eyes were glaring angrily at Ding Fan.

Silver Horned Wolf King! For origınal chapters go to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Ding Fan immediately identified the special creature.

Ding Fan felt a hint of delight; he hadn't been concerned with the previous silver-horned wolves, but killing more and more of them was becoming annoying. Now, with this big guy appearing, he could finally settle things once and for all.

Ding Fan assessed the silver-horned wolf king, judging its strength as Fourth Grade Peak. Ding Fan remained unworried, since Fourth Grade Yuan Beast was only equivalent to Early Nascent Soul Stage.

Ye Ming was utterly stunned and terrified by the fierce, towering creature, having never encountered such a mighty Yuan Beast. This was understandable, as Fourth Grade and higher Yuan Beasts were rarely seen, given how few manage to reach such a level.

"Senior, what should we do?"

Ye Ming looked at Ding Fan worriedly. Though he knew Ding Fan's power was indeed great, the opponent was the wolf king, clearly not an ordinary being. He couldn't help but feel concerned for Ding Fan and their situation.

Ding Fan replied calmly, "Kill the wolf king."

Hearing Ding Fan's response, Ye Ming shivered inside.

Ordinary silver-horned wolves were already difficult to handle; wouldn't the wolf king be even fiercer?

Ye Ming couldn't help but doubt, despite witnessing Ding Fan's prowess earlier.

This isn't an ordinary Yuan Beast; it's the leader of Yuan Beasts!

Yet, despite his doubts, seeing Ding Fan showing no intention of leaving, how could Ye Ming leave when Ding Fan had come for his friends?

He grasped his longsword tightly, gritted his teeth, and prepared for a desperate final battle!

The sounds of air being sliced apart echoed as the enormous silver-horned wolf king swiftly charged at Ding Fan and Ye Ming.

Though the silver-horned wolf king's size was large and imposing, its running speed was incredibly fast, much quicker than that of ordinary silver-horned wolves.

In the blink of an eye, the silver-horned wolf king arrived menacingly before Ding Fan!
