Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1300 1211: Bai Xiaozhan

When Meng Ao heard the old man speak, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

The old man was the only one among the ten who possessed the same level of cultivation as him.

This person was the Eighth Route General, named Bai Gong, a High-Tier Demon Venerable.

The three counties Bai Gong governed were connected to Yunmeng County, and he had long coveted Meng Ao's three counties, wanting to take them for himself.

Today, upon hearing that Meng Ao was defeated, he came forward to help, aiming to obtain Meng Ao's Nanyang County.

Thus, before anyone else could make a move, he took charge of the situation immediately.

Bai Gong was also a crafty old fox; although he had heard about the Demon Wolf King affair, upon witnessing Wang Yan's cultivation, Bai Gong relaxed his guard.

No matter how skilled a Demon Cultivator might be, they cannot bridge the gap in cultivation. Not to mention that Wang Yan's cultivation was two tiers below his.

Just as Bai Gong was about to step forward, a burly man standing behind him strode up to him, saying, "General, there's no need for you to deal with a mere Initial-Tier Demon Venerable; why not leave it to me?"

Bai Gong turned his head and smiled brightly, laughing, "I forgot, you're known as the foremost of Initial-Tier Demon Venerables. Alright, today you'll kill him."

With that, Bai Gong retreated into the crowd, not even deigning to look at Wang Yan again.

Upon seeing the burly man step forward, the surrounding Demon Venerables all showed pensive expressions.

The burly man's name was Bai Xiaozhan, reportedly an orphan who was later adopted as Bai Gong's apprentice.

Bai Xiaozhan showed extraordinary talent from a young age; his cultivation speed was far beyond ordinary, and in any tier, once Bai Xiaozhan broke through, everyone of that tier would fall to him.

Thus, Bai Xiaozhan had always had a nickname, hailed as the foremost.

Bai Xiaozhan was now at Initial-Tier Demon Venerable, hence known as the foremost Initial-Tier Demon Venerable.

Bai Xiaozhan was Initial-Tier Demon Venerable, and so was Wang Yan. With Bai Xiaozhan in battle, Wang Yan was certain to lose, which is why Bai Gong was at ease letting Bai Xiaozhan fight.

Bai Xiaozhan took a few steps to the gates of Yunmeng County City, looked up at Wang Yan, and tauntingly gestured with his finger, saying, "Do you dare to fight me?"

Wang Yan said calmly, "Why not?"

With that, Wang Yan gracefully descended from the city wall to stand before Bai Xiaozhan.

Bai Xiaozhan looked at Wang Yan arrogantly, saying, "In battles between equals, I have a rule; you may attack me first, then I will attack you."

"And then?" Wang Yan asked.

"There is no 'then.' Once I finish my attack, you'll be dead. What's the 'then'?" Bai Xiaozhan spoke with a face full of mockery, as though killing Wang Yan in one move was inevitable.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan smirked lightly and said, "So, it's decided that I go first?"

Bai Xiaozhan impatiently replied, "That's right. Hurry and attack; don't waste my time. And let me give you a piece of advice: use your strongest move. Don't let me be bored when I take your hit."

Wang Yan maintained a slight smile, saying, "Fine, then I'll use my Fifth Soul Skill, called Earth Covering, so be prepared."

Bai Xiaozhan, with an impatient look, waved his hand, "I don't need an explanation; just attack."

At this moment, inside and outside Yunmeng County, everyone was closely watching the exchange between Wang Yan and Bai Xiaozhan.

Seeing Bai Xiaozhan's arrogance and formidable presence, while Wang Yan kept smiling all along, everyone believed Bai Xiaozhan would continue his unbeaten streak among Initial-Tier Demon Venerables.

Though Wang Yan was reputed, it was mostly hearsay, and under Bai Xiaozhan's attack, Wang Yan would likely reveal his true capability.

In front of the million soldier terracotta warriors, Bai Gong gleefully stroked his long beard, laughing to Meng Ao, "Hahaha, Meng Family's old patriarch, after this battle, my apprentice's reputation will overshadow your Meng Family's old patriarch."

It made sense; Meng Ao had lost to Wang Yan, and if Wang Yan was defeated by Bai Xiaozhan, wouldn't that indicate Bai Xiaozhan is far stronger than Meng Ao?

And Bai Gong is Bai Xiaozhan's mentor.

Thus, Bai Gong would completely overshadow Meng Ao.

Despite hearing Bai Gong's jibes, Meng Ao couldn't refute. Though he wanted to kill Wang Yan, he hoped in his heart that Wang Yan would defeat Bai Xiaozhan.

The other Demon Venerables, seeing Meng Ao silent, assumed Meng Ao was indeed senile and impotent, and all shook their heads dismissively.

They thought that after one move, everyone would return, having made a wasted trip.

At this moment, Wang Yan slowly crossed his hands behind his back, still wearing a smile.

Bai Xiaozhan urged, "Come on, attack already, drop the act. Soon, when I kill you, let's see how much more you can fake."

Yet, Wang Yan remained unhurried, his voice deep and steady, "Fifth Soul Skill—Earth Covering."

Wang Yan's two major Demon Patterns each had a Fifth Soul Skill, named Heaven-Flipping and Earth Covering.

Two major Soul Skills united as one, divided into two.

Now, Wang Yan was only casting one of them.

With Wang Yan's words, behind him, a faint purple butterfly wing suddenly appeared.

When Bai Xiaozhan impatiently waited for Wang Yan to attack, upon seeing the purple butterfly wing behind Wang Yan, he suddenly felt a chill and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.

Bai Xiaozhan, with countless battles under his belt, was naturally no good person. As soon as Wang Yan made his move, Bai Xiaozhan immediately sensed that the purple wing behind Wang Yan certainly had the power to kill him.

Instantly, Bai Xiaozhan's expression of disdain and impatience vanished, changing into solemnity and panic. Without thinking, he stepped back, retreating toward the million soldier terracotta warriors.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yan's smile remained unchanged, but now contained a hint of killing intent: "Now you want to leave, but it's too late."

With Wang Yan's word, Bai Xiaozhan felt the surrounding scene suddenly change.

Yunmeng County disappeared, the million soldier terracotta warriors were gone, leaving only Wang Yan and an endless barren earth around him.

The earth was too vast; no matter how Bai Xiaozhan retreated, he stayed within it.

At this moment, the entire earth suddenly cracked open, and from its depths, a surge of intense, scorching magma erupted, soaring into the sky. Wherever the magma reached, everything turned to ash, smoke billowed everywhere, enveloping the whole earth.

Although Bai Xiaozhan wanted to fly, he couldn't see the sky; though he wanted to run, the earth was patchy and fragmented, with no complete place to stand.

Suddenly, a large piece of land in front of Bai Xiaozhan turned over, the whole earth flipped over toward Bai Xiaozhan.

Bai Xiaozhan's eyes showed helplessness, as he watched the earth crash down like a giant mountain. He let out a scream, and was instantly crushed beneath it, without a sound.

At this time, Bai Gong, Meng Ao, and others could only see Wang Yan's purple wing flick once, then Bai Xiaozhan stumbled backwards.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan's purple wing had vanished, and Bai Xiaozhan, who had retreated, fell to the ground with a "thud."

Bai Xiaozhan's whole body was charred black, twisted, his bones shattered into three pieces, his eyes wide open, shockingly dead and not resting in peace.
