Chapter 153 Driving the Ox to Devour the Wolf
Creatures that can cultivate to the Qi Condensation Realm generally possess considerable wisdom.
Shen Xu believed that the leader of the cattle herd had definitely discovered that the wolf pack was trailing far behind them, but unfortunately, the other side was a very young wolf pack, while its own pack had both old and young members. It could only protect the core strength of the pack from damage, and could not take the initiative to attack and disperse the wolf pack.
However, if that old bull at the Qi Condensation Realm could get the herd to cooperate with him in the attack, he could definitely wipe out the wolf pack behind him, since the wolf pack's numbers were similar to the herd's, and there wasn't a single one at the Qi Condensation Realm.
As for how to make Lao Niu understand his meaning, Zuo Chen taught him many practical illusion techniques during the days he had known Zuo Chen.
Quickly passing the herd of cattle, Shen Xu stood on a large tree and laid down a light mist along the cattle's path. Once the cattle entered the mist, he would activate his illusion. His crude illusion could not fool shrewd humans, but it was enough to fool the simple-minded cattle.
As the cattle entered the fog one by one, the fog surrounding them immediately thickened, gradually obscuring the view between the cattle.
The old ox, acting as the leader, immediately sensed something was wrong. With a deep but prolonged moo, the herd's formation began to change. The elderly oxen and some young oxen, led by their leader, gradually formed a circle, surrounding the calves and pregnant females in the middle.
The old bull, as the leader, let out a series of loud roars towards the surrounding mist, seemingly trying to scare away the enemies within.
But Shen Xu wasn't there to fight today. He began manipulating the mist to create scenes he had designed right in front of the old ox.
The wolf pack in the video is fiercely attacking the cattle. The old cow is trying its best to hold back the attacks of a dozen or so wolves, but the other wolves are using their speed to grab and bite wildly in the herd. Before long, several calves are dead in the mouths of the wolves.
Upon seeing this, the cattle began to moo sadly, and several mothers couldn't help but shed tears as they looked at their calves.
But then the scene shifts, and everything returns to the starting point. The wolf pack is still fiercely attacking the cattle herd, but this time a strange creature helps the old cow kill the gray wolves that are attacking it. Then, it returns to the herd with the old cow and, together with many yellow cattle, kills all the wind wolves in the herd. All the calves also survive.
Upon seeing this scene, the cattle immediately began to moo excitedly, except for the old cow, whose eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.
But before it could react, the fog suddenly vanished without a trace, and the road ahead was revealed to the cattle.
But what they saw was not only the road ahead, but also the gray silhouettes of a pack of wolves, which immediately threw the herd into chaos. Then, an old bull's moo instantly calmed the entire herd down.
Suddenly, the wolf pack charged forward, their figures as swift as the wind. Old Niu and several strong, yellow oxen appeared directly in front of the pack, using their heavy bodies to protect the pack behind them.
As numerous yellow cattle stamped their feet, a thick earthen wall quickly formed in front of them. In addition, an earthen wall surrounded several calves at the core of the herd.
"There's another trick up your sleeve!" Shen Xu was dumbfounded.
But the wolves were no pushovers either. With a casual swipe of their paws, a pale blue wind blade struck the earthen wall, stirring up layers of dust. Dozens of wind wolves formed a pincer movement, surrounding the earthen wall from all directions and beginning their attack on the cattle.
Old Niu swiftly attacked, charging and sending a wind wolf flying more than ten meters away. However, the wolf pack was simply too numerous. Just as Shen Xu had predicted in the scene, more than a dozen wind wolves swung their claws, using their sharp claws to slash Old Niu's body, leaving bloody gashes.
The situation among the cattle was also dire. With the constant attacks from the wolves, old, dusty yellow cattle were frequently falling among the herd.
The old ox glared at the surrounding wolf pack with hatred, its forelegs stomping heavily on the ground. A crack immediately appeared in the red earth, and two wind wolves, caught off guard, fell into the crack, burying themselves inside.
But the old ox had already done its best; it was too old, and a very powerful blue wind wolf had its eye on it. That wind wolf wanted to use the old ox's life to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm and truly achieve its kingly reputation.
The old ox, panting heavily, confronted the wind wolf. Behind it, its people were falling one by one. Hot tears welled up in the old ox's eyes; almost all of them were its offspring, but now it could not protect them.
Just then, the old ox suddenly noticed a wisp of mist appear in front of it. When the mist dissipated, it revealed the strange creature it had seen in the mist. Upon seeing Shen Xu's appearance, the herd of cattle instantly became excited and began to fight back desperately, immediately pushing back the wolves that were attacking them.
Even though he knew Lao Niu wouldn't understand, Shen Xu still said, "How about we fight side by side?"
But the old ox seemed to understand his meaning and began charging wildly towards the surrounding wolf pack, breaking their formation to surround it.
“Then you are my opponent!” Shen Xu’s gaze fell on the extremely majestic wind wolf.
The wolf king also understood that it could not defeat the herd of cattle without eliminating the creature in front of it. Moreover, it could sense that the creature's aura was very strong. If it could kill it, it could still enter a completely new realm of life.
A cyan wind blade arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Shen Xu dodged the attack by sidestepping, but immediately saw a pair of chilling claws grabbing towards his neck with a gust of wind.
Shen Xu instantly drew his sword, a cold light blocking the wolf king's claws, and then both of them retreated a considerable distance.
"Such speed, such power!" Shen Xu couldn't help but look at the wolf king in front of him with a serious expression. He didn't expect to encounter such a formidable opponent on his first day in the Kunyuan Secret Realm.
The wolf king also realized that the creature in front of him was not to be trifled with, and might even be more difficult to deal with than the old bull.
Thick fog immediately enveloped him and the Wolf King, but the Wolf King's vision seemed unaffected by the fog. One after another, cyan wind blades flew towards him, and Shen Xu had to use his Dragon Body technique to dodge the numerous wind blades attacking him.
"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water!"
Water mirrors formed around the wolf king. The wolf king immediately realized that something was wrong with these water mirrors and began to destroy them with its claws. After finding that the destruction was ineffective, it quickly began to use its speed to get rid of the water mirrors around it.
His water mirror couldn't keep up with the wolf king's speed at all, and the wolf king attacked him again in an instant after getting rid of the water mirror.
With a single claw, the wolf king tore through Shen Xu's misty shadow, and a rare hint of doubt appeared on its ferocious beastly face.
"Mist Pierce!" Shen Xu's figure suddenly appeared behind the Wolf King, and his sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, dispersed a large amount of mist and pierced into the Wolf King's back.
But he immediately realized something was wrong. The wolf king's back was too hard. Even when he used the Mist Piercing Technique, which was derived from the Blood Mist Sword Art, it only pierced into the wolf king's flesh and did not damage the wolf king's vital organs.
Upon feeling the pain in his back, the wolf king became enraged. His ferocious eyes turned blood red, and he instantly turned his head and opened his mouth to spit out a deep blue energy ball at Shen Xu at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Xu's expression changed drastically. The ball of light was too close to him; he had no chance to dodge it. He never expected that the Wolf King's mouth could unleash such an attack, and he even sensed the presence of wind within it.
But at the crucial moment, his evasion talent activated, and the speed of the light sphere suddenly slowed down in his eyes. His figure flashed in place like a dragon swimming, narrowly dodging the light sphere.
Then a bright, chilling sword light, as if from beyond the heavens, carrying a sharp killing intent within the white mist, rushed forward and instantly pierced into the wolf king's still-open, blood-red maw. The sword tip, carrying crimson blood, pierced out from the back of its head.
The wolf king felt thick, fresh blood gushing from its mouth, flowing into its stomach like a spring. Then, everything went black, and its life ended.
Shen Xu twisted his wrist, the blade spun, and then he flicked it upwards along the direction of the blade, slicing the wolf king's head in two. White brain matter mixed with blood flowed from the wolf king's head onto its blue fur.
Its body also fell to Shen Xu's feet, blood gushing out recklessly. Its limbs twitched a few times in the body's instinctive reaction, and then it became unresponsive.
An exceptionally solid azure aura emerged from the wolf king's body. As Shen Xu reached out and touched the azure aura, it quickly merged into his dantian. With the primordial energy within his dantian surging and boiling, he successfully reached the late stage of the ninth level of Qi Nourishing.
