Chapter 0505: The Treachery of Human Hearts

In the Crimson Evil Wilderness, there are not only powerful Horned Demon Wolves but also other sneaky warriors.

Qin Yun carried Tian Ruoleng on his back and moved far from the scene.

"Dongfang, are your injuries alright?" Qin Yun asked after setting Tian Ruoleng down.

"Nothing serious! I'm no pushover!"

Dong Fangchao's recovery ability was indeed astonishing. Even after being stabbed in the heart, he now seemed completely fine.

Tian Ruoleng had just frozen a dozen Horned Demon Wolves, which left her drained, and she couldn't recover in a short time.

"That damn bastard Yang Mutian actually sneaked Ye Qisheng into our ranks!"

Recalling this, Tian Ruoleng couldn't help but feel furious.

Qin Yun quickly dragged Ye Qisheng out!

Ye Qisheng was tied up, writhing on the ground, shouting.

"Captain, this traitor is yours to deal with!" Qin Yun grabbed Ye Qisheng's hair and sneered coldly.

"Brother Qin, please don't kill me... I'm just a lowly dog! Spare me, and I'll do anything—even eat shit!" Ye Qisheng pleaded desperately.

Seeing Ye Qisheng, Tian Ruoleng's anger intensified: "Qin Yun, you take care of him!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." Ye Qisheng, a despicable coward, was terrified of death and begged pitifully: "Grandpa Qin, I was wrong! Please spare my miserable life!"

Qin Yun's expression was cold and stern. His fingers spread, morphing into claws!

He fiercely pierced through and yanked out the Dao Pill from Ye Qisheng's abdomen!

The Dao Pill contained a Martial Soul, which was one of the more valuable things on Ye Qisheng's body.

"You... you took out my Dao Pill! This is forbidden!" Ye Qisheng screamed in agony, his face ashen.

Dong Fangchao walked over and said, "I'll take care of him!"

With that, he swung his sword, cleaving Ye Qisheng's head!

Dong Fangchao collected Ye Qisheng's head as a trophy.

...

At dawn, the Nine Sun ascended.

Although it was daytime, the Crimson Evil Wilderness was still fraught with danger.

Tian Ruoleng had regained her strength.

Qin Yun felt the wild, dangerous energy radiating from her once more!

It reassured him.

Tian Ruoleng pulled out a Demon-Tracking Talisman and continued to track the Horned Demon Wolves.

She had a good sense of Qin Yun's power.

Even if they ran into a pack of magic wolves, they could handle it together.

The trio moved swiftly and cautiously through the dense forest.

"Captain, if we run into a pack of magic wolves, can we talk about our battle plan?" Qin Yun, following behind Tian Ruoleng, suddenly asked.

"Of course!"

Tian Ruoleng also knew that Qin Yun was more than he seemed.

Plus, he was a good guy and trustworthy.

Dong Fangchao stayed quiet, figuring he’d already gotten a good deal.

Guided by the Demon Tracking Talisman, Tian Ruoleng searched for over two hours before suddenly halting.

"There’s a wolf pack up ahead! Around twenty of them!" Tian Ruoleng looked at Qin Yun: "What’s the plan?"

Qin Yun pulled out a Spirit Eye Orb and sent it flying.

Under his command, the Spirit Eye Orb zipped forward, scouting the Horned Demon Wolf pack.

"I’ll take out the leader first!" Qin Yun said, spotting the larger Horned Demon Wolf.

"When the pack charges, I’ll freeze them!" Tian Ruoleng said: "Once you’re done, grab me and pull back!"

Qin Yun frowned: "Captain, don’t go all out!"

"Then what’s the plan?" Tian Ruoleng asked.

"I’ve got a Binding Talisman that can freeze the Horned Demon Wolves for a bit!" Qin Yun said.

As he spoke, he pulled out several swords and knives—all Dao Artifacts!

Seeing these Dao Artifacts, Tian Ruoleng and Dong Fangchao’s hearts skipped a beat!

Tian Ruoleng, being from the Tian family, knew exactly how valuable Dao Artifacts were.

Ordinary disciples could only dream of getting their hands on them!

But Qin Yun had a bunch!

"I trust you guys, so I’ll let you borrow them for now!" Qin Yun said.

Even though they hadn’t refined the Dao Artifacts, they could still use them to crack the Horned Demon Wolves’ defenses.

Tian Ruoleng strapped her knife to her back, and Dong Fangchao slid his sword into its sheath.

They skipped the weapons from the Sword and Knife Manor—those couldn’t even scratch the Horned Demon Wolves’ thick armor.

Dong Fangchao, gripping a blue longsword, shook with excitement and blurted, "I’d have to sell my soul to afford this sword!"

Tian Ruoleng eyed the five-foot-long black broadsword in her hand, a spark of excitement in her eyes.

Qin Yun took out the Mystic King Cannon and said: "Wait, let’s see how things go before acting!"

He rose into the air, took aim at the Horned Demon Wolf leader, and let loose a blast!

Boom!

Using the alchemy of the Ninth Layer Martial Path as ammunition, a single shot flattened trees within a radius of several hundred meters, and the shockwave reverberated through the air.

The leader of the magic wolves was blown apart, its body shattered and cracked!

The other Horned Demon Wolves were dazed by the explosion, and at that moment, Tian Ruoleng and Dong Fangchao rushed forward!

They did not use the immobilization talismans Qin Yun had given them!

Tian Ruoleng was the fastest and had the most fearsome strength.

She was already tall, and now, with a Dao Artifact greatsword in hand, she resembled a formidable female warrior, radiating a murderous and commanding presence!

As she charged into the wolf pack, she infused her Primordial Dao Force into the greatsword.

With a sharp cry, she swung the sword, and the massive blade came down on the back of a Horned Demon Wolf, splitting it in two!

Dong Fangchao, performing a masterful high-tier Earth-grade sword technique, pierced the skull of a Horned Demon Wolf with a single thrust, killing it on the spot!

Despite the ferocity of the Horned Demon Wolves' attacks, Dong Fangchao and Tian Ruoleng's movements were so skilled that they dodged with ease!

Qin Yun descended from the air, swinging his greatsword wildly and slashing at the Horned Demon Wolves!

Dong Fangchao and Tian Ruoleng truly understood the importance of wielding powerful weapons!

The inferior swords they had used before could barely penetrate the defenses of the Horned Demon Wolves!

But with the Dao Artifacts, they could unleash their full power and kill a Horned Demon Wolf in a single blow!

Twenty Horned Demon Wolves were annihilated in an instant!

Dong Fangchao stared at the heap of wolf corpses on the ground, almost in disbelief: "Are these really Mystic Beasts? They were so easy to take down!"

"I want the beast cores and the bodies!" Qin Yun demanded.

Tian Ruoleng and Dong Fangchao swiftly extracted the cores and passed them to Qin Yun.

After gathering the corpses, they quickly departed the battlefield.

In the afternoon, they came across another pack of magic wolves, which they swiftly dealt with!

In just two days, they had slain over fifty Horned Demon Wolves!

At night, Tian Ruoleng commanded them to rest.

After a safe night, at dawn, Tian Ruoleng pressed on.

They traversed dense woods and arrived at a vast, flat expanse.

"This is a magic swamp. We'll fly over it!" Tian Ruoleng rose into the air and warned, "This swamp is toxic, so stay alert!"

Qin Yun gazed down at the flat land, a sense of dread creeping over him.

Though the swamp seemed calm, it exuded an ominous aura, as if a monstrous beast lay hidden beneath.

After crossing the swamp, they touched down and surveyed the barren hills ahead.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment they touched down, a group of people burst onto the scene.

"Yang Yuhao, what are you trying to do?" Tian Ruoleng's eyes flashed with icy fury as she glared at the seven people encircling them.

Yang Yuhao was also a disciple of the Yang family, not as strong as Yang Mutian. He was a hulking figure with a commanding, square-jawed face.

"Why are there just three of you left?" Yang Yuhao glanced at Qin Yun and gave a sinister smile.

"Ye Qisheng is no more!" Tian Ruoleng declared.

Yang Yuhao kept staring at Qin Yun and added, "This guy from our lineage is wearing Dao Artifact Armor. I want it!"

"Are you trying to steal from my team?" Tian Ruoleng immediately flared up.

"No, no, no, I only want Qin Yun! You let him go, and he joins us!" Yang Yuhao laughed boldly, unafraid of Tian Ruoleng.

Tian Ruoleng's anger flared even hotter because, among the disciples of the five great clans, none gave her the respect she deserved.

This was blatant disrespect!

Dong Fangchao and Tian Ruoleng had their Dao Artifacts ready in their storage spaces. They were prepared to unleash them in battle!

Qin Yun suddenly said, "Beat me, and my Dao Artifact Armor is yours. How about that?"

"No problem!" Yang Yuhao laughed. "You've got some nerve, don't you?"

As he spoke, he was about to step forward.

At that moment, a man clad in yellow robes emerged from behind him.

"Big brother, let me handle this! This trash isn't worth your time!" The yellow-robed man had a sharp mouth and a monkey-like face, exuding arrogance.

"Sun Rongfan, finish him in ten moves or less! Otherwise, get out of my team!" Yang Yuhao nodded.

"Ten moves? Big brother, you underestimate me. I'll take him down in three moves flat!" Sun Rongfan laughed. "The Sun family's martial arts are unmatched. Taking out this guy will be a breeze!"

Tian Ruoleng, aware of Qin Yun's power, stayed silent.

She braced herself for Yang Yuhao's attack!

Sun Rongfan, holding a large blade, took a step towards Qin Yun and slashed down!

The mixed Dao Force erupted violently, making the ground churn like a living thing.

Qin Yun's hand shot up, catching the blade with bare fingers, sneering, "I really want to know how trash like you has survived until now?"

Yang Yuhao and the others' expressions changed upon seeing this.

Qin Yun gripped the blade and released a shockwave, shattering the blade into pieces.

The fragments of the blade, propelled by the shockwave, flew into Sun Rongfan's body!

"Ah—" Sun Rongfan's body was pierced by more than a dozen blade fragments, and he cried out in pain, "Big brother, save me!"

Yang Yuhao immediately roared, "Qin Yun, he's my underling! How dare you try to kill him?"

"He was trying to kill me!" Qin Yun replied with a hint of anger.

"So what? If my underling wants to kill someone, that person should just wait to die!" Yang Yuhao said, then suddenly lunged towards Qin Yun.

Tian Ruoleng, who had been on guard all along, rushed towards Yang Yuhao like a freezing gale, throwing a punch at the same time!

"Your opponent is me!" Tian Ruoleng pushed Yang Yuhao back.

"Tian Ruoleng, you traitor, are you really going to turn against me for someone like Qin Yun?" Yang Yuhao's square face darkened like water as he roared in anger.

"Boss—" Sun Rongfan screamed, and then his head rolled to the ground.

Sun Rongfan was dead, killed by Qin Yun!

Yang Yuhao and his crew were instantly enraged.

Qin Yun was provoking them!

"You dare kill my henchman!" Yang Yuhao roared, "Take them out, no survivors!"
