Hearing the numbers Mu Ci uttered, the faces of Lord Loran and Bishop Sai Dong turned even paler, cold sweat dripping from their temples onto the ground.
The brutality of the wolf bandits was known throughout the continent; if the city fell today, countless people would be slaughtered and countless women abducted.
Just as the two were in despair, they suddenly turned their gazes to Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Mu Ci as if they had grasped a savior.
It wasn't that they hadn't attended Soul Master academies; although they weren't qualified to study at advanced Soul Master academies, their basic knowledge of Soul Masters was impeccable.
Especially Bishop Sai Dong of the Martial Soul Hall, who immediately noticed the unusual nature of the two women's thousand-year Soul Rings.
The third ring was a pure purple, and the fourth ring's black radiance was even more captivating.
These were not Soul Rings that ordinary Soul Masters could possess.
Among the three, Mu Ci was clearly the most important; the two women were merely his family members.
Remembering how Mu Ci had initially managed to subdue the City Lord of Loran with just his soul pressure, a glimmer of hope ignited within him.
"If this lord had intervened, this tragedy wouldn't have happened today!"
Seeing that the number of demonic wolves in his domain perception had stopped increasing, Mu Ci turned to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
"Bing'er, Yue'er, now that we've encountered this situation, we can't just stand by and do nothing."
"Your training has always been under the supervision of me and Grandpa Dugu. It's too safe; at most, you can only gain some experience in battle, not any substantial progress." "
Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to arrange a deathmatch for you in the Grand Soul Arena, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity."
"Perfect timing! Using wolf thieves is far better than using soul masters in the Soul Arena."
Mu Ci paused, and seeing that the two girls showed no resistance, continued.
"I'll take care of those few ancient demon wolves and wolf bandits, as well as some of the older ones, beforehand. The rest will be your training targets."
Seeing Mu Ci finish speaking, Shui Yue'er stepped forward before Shui Bing'er and kissed Mu Ci on the cheek.
After the kiss, the love in Shui Yue'er's eyes transformed back into hatred and killing intent towards the Frostwind Demon Wolves.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'll make sure these demon wolves know the consequences of offending me."
Mu Ci, of course, knew what Shui Yue'er meant, so he reached out and tapped her forehead.
"Good, but even with me here, you must be careful and not act rashly, understand?"
At this moment, Shui Bing'er also came up, hugged Mu Ci, and said softly.
"Understood, brother, you must also be careful."
After the hug, Shui Bing'er glanced warily at Shui Yue'er beside her, her unease growing stronger.
Tonight, Shui Yue'er hadn't even bothered to hide her escape.
A
series of mournful howls echoed through the silent night, waking countless people in the city.
Seeing this, Mu Ci felt there was no need to wait any longer. Two golden antlers suddenly sprouted from his forehead, and a thunderous roar instantly resounded across the sky.
One, two, three! Countless golden lightning bolts began to intertwine, tearing through the sky and shattering the boundless darkness.
Illuminated by the lightning, everyone could see more clearly the Frostwind Wolves roaming below the city walls.
Their silvery-white fur shimmered with a metallic sheen, their gleaming white canines were like sharp blades, and their eerie green pupils gleamed with greed and bloodlust.
Hundreds of wolf eyes caused the defenders and soul masters on the city walls to tremble with fear, their fighting spirit and morale crumbling instantly.
If even one person fled now, the rest would surely follow suit, abandoning their armor and weapons.
After instructing Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, Mu Ci leaped to the top of the city wall, taking in the entire demon wolf pack. The
Demon-Slaying Golden Lightning in his hand rapidly coalesced into a dazzling golden spear, its lightning piercing the air.
Locking onto the target with his domain, a cold glint flashed in Mu Ci's eyes, and the golden spear shot out, heading straight for the location of the several ten-thousand-year-old wolf bandits.
Immediately afterward, several more identical golden spears flew from Mu Ci's hand, aiming at the other demon wolves directing the pack's movements.
As the golden spears pierced the air, golden lightning from the sky simultaneously descended, instantly turning more than a dozen five-thousand-year-old Frostwind Demon Wolves into dust.
Meanwhile, the wolf bandits gazing at the Heavenly Cold City Wall from the wilderness instinctively sensed the danger. Their silver-white fur bristled, and their eerie green eyes narrowed sharply.
They instinctively tried to scatter and avoid the danger, but unfortunately, even the fastest wolf bandits couldn't outrun the lightning-fast Demon-Slaying Golden Lightning.
In an instant, the raging lightning blasted the three ancient wolf bandits and the surrounding demonic wolves into pieces, then instantly charred them by the residual heat.
With Mu Ci having dealt with the high-risk targets, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er exchanged a glance and jumped down from the city wall.
Their third and fourth soul rings instantly lit up; the third soul skill amplified themselves, while the fourth soul skill killed the enemy.
Shui Bing'er stepped through the void, an ice phoenix with a wingspan exceeding tens of meters appearing behind her, displaying its divine power in the sky.
Ice crystal feathers began to condense before her, and the extreme cold of ice swept across the surroundings.
Even the Frostwind Demonic Wolves, with their excellent ice resistance, could not withstand such terrifying cold; some demonic wolves were frozen into ice sculptures after only a few steps.
With each fall of the feathers formed by the fourth soul skill, a demonic wolf was cleaved in two, whether it was a hundred or a thousand years old, without exception.
Meanwhile, Shui Yue'er was in the same predicament. Dozens of azure dragons circled and danced around her, the extremely compressed water sharper than any divine weapon.
Any flesh and blood swept by the water dragons would be instantly shredded into countless pieces, merging into the dragons' bodies.
But this alone was clearly insufficient to quell Shui Yue'er's rage.
With a powerful leap, Shui Yue'er charged directly into the pack of wolves before her. With each strike of her dragon claws, the head of a Frostwind Demon Wolf was shattered by the power of the true dragon.
Blood and wolf brains splattered out, only to be repelled by the protective water aura around Shui Yue'er's body, instantly killing them.
Bishop Sai Dong, standing on the city wall, was somewhat stunned.
"Elder Lingyuan's Elder's Token... Could this lord be the renowned Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect, famous throughout the continent?"
"Yes, legend has it that this lord is extremely popular with women, with many celestial maidens falling for him. All of this fits."
"But isn't he supposed to possess a top-tier plant-type martial soul? How can he also use lightning as an attack method?"
Bishop Saidong muttered to himself, observing the scene before him. Numerous pieces of evidence pointed to the legendary Mu Ci, yet some discrepancies left him uncertain.
While Bishop Saidong was still questioning his memory, the City Lord of Loran was overjoyed.
Seeing the bishop standing there dumbfounded, he immediately shook him awake and shouted,
"What are you standing there for, you old codger? Get your deacons to attack!"
