A rank three Gu Master screamed in madness and frenzy as he slaughtered wolves with his bare body. With every strike, explosive bursts of air erupted from his fists, and whenever his elbow struck, the sound of shattering bones echoed outward.
When he kicked, his leg resembled a spear piercing straight through the wolves' bodies. The Gu Master laughed wildly as he killed four wolves within half a minute—
Before a Hundred Beast King suddenly leapt from the crowd and tore him into pieces.
"Lord Chang Shan Yin truly possesses divine abilities!" one of the tribe leaders shouted excitedly as he watched the defensive line collapse in merely twenty minutes! Several points had already been breached by torrents of wolves, and the Gu Masters of Dong Tribe began retreating toward the second defensive line.
Yet the wolves relentlessly pursued them, while behind the wolves came the Gu Masters of Hei Alliance's army.
On the very first day of battle, the Wolf King decided the outcome within twenty minutes—with only minor losses! Although he lost twenty thousand wolves, such a number was insignificant and could easily be replenished.
"Brother Chang, Hei Tribe will never forget your contribution in this battle." Hei Lou Lan approached Fang Yuan and spoke in a cold voice that nevertheless carried a trace of warmth.
"Brother Hei Lou Lan, there is no need for concern. I am merely a modest person, after all, and I have little desire to participate in the next assault."
Fang Yuan's words carried hidden meaning, and Hei Lou Lan naturally understood.
"The Wolf King is truly humble! Brother, do not worry—you will not need to exert yourself before the second and third defensive lines fall!"
Hei Lou Lan was extremely pleased with Chang Shan Yin's attitude and departed in satisfaction.
Over the following days, Hei Alliance broke through the second and third defensive lines, as well as the unfinished fourth defensive line. Although there were casualties, Hei Lou Lan remained delighted.
Fang Yuan's victory had made him suspicious of his intentions. The reputation Chang Shan Yin gained was by no means small—it even threatened Hei Lou Lan's authority as alliance leader!
Such was the righteous path. Reputation brought benefits, while strength earned respect. If one possessed strength without reputation, the benefits obtained would be limited.
However, after probing Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan obtained a concession from him. In the subsequent battles, Hei Lou Lan himself displayed overwhelming battle strength and gained tremendous fame. Thus, he became somewhat satisfied with Chang Shan Yin's participation in the war.
Within Dong Alliance's camp—
"This seal is excellent. My apertures can endure for a long time without exploding."
Fang Yuan observed his first and second apertures, whose walls had been covered by a layer of white qi. That qi wall was incomparably thick and solid, greatly reinforcing the apertures.
Because both apertures contained Immortal Gu, the pressure upon the aperture walls was already immense. Combined with the self-detonation danger of the extreme physiques, Fang Yuan was forced to devise a suitable sealing method.
The solution proved simple. All he had to do was return to Lang Ya Blessed Land and use Immortal Gu Qi Strength as the core of a simple killer move to reinforce the walls of his second aperture.
As for his first aperture, the rank seven Immortal Gu Time Concealment was used to hide the aura of the extreme physique, and the effect was far superior to Immortal Gu Qi Strength.
Naturally, Fang Yuan himself could not use immortal killer moves, but Lang Ya Land Spirit could.
The hidden dangers of both apertures had been resolved, and now Fang Yuan wished to focus on the upcoming battle.
Only one day later, Hei Alliance's army arrived and encountered Dong Alliance's forces.
From atop the platform, Fang Yuan gazed toward the tens of thousands of Gu Masters gathered below. There were numerous righteous and demonic path experts alike, such as Water Demon Hao Ji Liu and Bei Xiu Han.
Hei Lou Lan grabbed a wine horn and handed it to Fang Yuan with a smile.
"Brother Chang, you should make the first move… But let us first see whom Dong Fang Yu Liang sends out."
Fang Yuan gripped the armrest of his seat as he rose. In a deep and terrifying voice, he said:
"There's no need for that. Watch this."
Fang Yuan waved his hand, drawing the attention of Hei Lou Lan and the other experts.
Nothing happened for a moment, causing Bei Xiu Han to sneer mockingly.
"Wolf King, is this your trick?"
Bei Xiu Han wanted to continue mocking him—
But the earth suddenly began trembling as wolves burst forth from among the Gu Masters themselves.
Hei Lou Lan's expression darkened as he roared:
"Wolf King, do you not know the rules?!"
"Alliance Leader, forgive me, but my hand had been itching ever since the last battle, and when I tried scratching it, I accidentally waved it… Allow me to correct my mistake!"
Fang Yuan immediately attempted to "correct" his error, causing Hei Lou Lan's expression to gradually calm.
"The wolves haven't even crossed half the distance yet. They can still be recalled, correct?"
Hei Lou Lan watched the tide of wolves surge toward Dong Alliance's Gu Masters.
"Ah… Alliance Leader, I made another mistake."
Fang Yuan spoke with apparent guilt—
As the three Wolf Emperors charged directly toward Dong Alliance's army.
Hei Lou Lan spat blood in rage and roared at the army:
"Attack! What are you fools waiting for?!"
His murderous gaze turned toward Fang Yuan, who was still trying to "fix" his mistake.
"Good! Good, Chang Shan Yin! I will remember this!"
Hei Lou Lan engraved this grudge into his heart before flying toward Dong Tribe's army.
On the opposite side, Dong Fang Yu Liang's expression darkened.
"This Wolf King truly does not belong to the righteous path. He doesn't care about rules whatsoever and only places benefits before everything else… Heh, Hei Lou Lan, you truly are unlucky to have such a subordinate beneath you."
Star thoughts collided rapidly within his mind.
Dong Alliance's army reacted instantly, changing formations under Dong Fang Yu Liang's commands.
But the wolves did the same, transforming into tightly packed formations resembling rolling ocean waves.
The wolves formed ten separate waves as attacks crashed into the first wave. Flesh, blood, and shattered bones scattered everywhere as the wolves approached within a hundred meters of the army.
The first wave endured.
Like ocean tides smashing against cliffs, the impact spread violently, causing the front lines of Dong Alliance's army to stagger backward.
Fang Yuan laughed as he altered the formations of the first and second wolf waves, opening space for the beast kings.
The beast kings unleashed the abilities of the Gu worms upon their bodies—
And in an instant, the battlefield transformed into utter ruin.
