Shen Luo, seeing this, tensed up. He was about to turn his head and say something to the Tiger Eyebrow Man, but his expression drastically changed and he let out a loud cry.

“Get out of the way!”

Yu Meng also instantly felt a shadow cast over his head. By this time, it was too late to turn around. He could only grip his sword in his hands and desperately stab upwards behind him.

“Clang” a sharp ringing sound!

The giant Horse Chopping Saber in his hands was held frozen by the jaws of that huge black wolf that had somehow jumped over here. The grating sound of metal on metal made one’s teeth feel sour, no matter how Yu Meng tried to pull it, the blade did not move an inch.

“Crack” was heard as the black wolf violently shook its head. Its steel teeth gripped and the Horse Chopping Saber was bitten in half by it.

At the same time as the sword was broken, Yu Meng had already somersaulted forward, avoiding the black wolf’s claw and yelled to Shen Luo, “Go!”

Shen Luo watched as the huge claws of the black wolf, gleaming black at the tips, cast a blurred shadow and were scratching towards the heart of Yu Meng’s back. He gritted his teeth and instead of retreating, he rushed forward in two steps. His single-edged sword was also turned into a cold light as it hacked down.

The blow he delivered was with all his might. His single-edged sword directly hit the black wolf on the shoulder and penetrated several inches deep.

Only, this black wolf’s muscles were way too strong, much stronger compared to those grey wolves. Shen Luo’s heavy blow was directly embedded in the wolf’s shoulder bone, unable to move even an inch further in or out.

However, under the pain, the wolf’s claws did slow down. Yu Meng took this opportunity to roll sideways and then stood up with a kip up.

Seeing this, Shen Luo also decisively let go of his dagger and retreated, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yu Meng.

“This black wolf is too strong, and now that I’ve lost my Horse Chopping Saber, I can only barely hold it off. You take this chance to break out.” Yu Meng gratefully glanced at Shen Luo and said.

Without waiting for Shen Luo’s reply, Yu Meng immediately grabbed a single-edged sword from the ground and slashed at an approaching grey wolf, once again starting a fight with the black wolf. In no time he was at a disadvantage, facing danger again and again.

In desperation, Shen Luo’s gaze suddenly caught sight of a banner on the ground, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Since this black wolf is so fierce and ordinary weapons are having difficulty hurting it, why not try the Small Thunder talisman?

Even though he had never succeeded in real life, under these circumstances, there’s no time to think too much. It was necessary to try to do something, whatever it may be.

He quickly bent down, tore the banner off the flagpole, and was about to start drawing a symbol on the banner with the wolf blood on his fingers.

But then, he thought of something. Seizing the moment, he wiped off the wolf blood from his hand, and directly bit his own finger.

He took a deep breath, didn’t bother to take the horse stance and start drawing runes on the banner.

Thanks to his constant practice, the runes for the Small Thunder Talisman were not a problem for him at all, and he drew them in one breath.

As soon as the rune was completed, he immediately picked up the banner, turned around and looked towards Yu Meng’s direction.

Only then did he realize that the situation in the vicinity had changed drastically in just seven or eight breaths of time.

As more and more grey wolves climbed onto the city wall, mixed with black wolves among them, the defenders were increasingly pushed back towards the corner towers on both sides. Yu Meng and Shen Luo became increasingly isolated.

A large number of grey wolves had already begun to change direction and joined the array of wolves that were attacking Yu Meng.

“Young master…” A sharp cry came.

Shen Luo followed the sound and saw that each one of Yu Meng’s four attendants was blood-soaked. They were fighting fiercely from the corner of the tower towards this direction, but there were too many wolves on the city wall. Even if they fought to the death, they simply could not get through.

He and Yu Meng were now in a desperate situation.

“Roar …”

An earth-shattering roar sounded!

Shen Luo suddenly withdrew his gaze, only to see Yu Meng being cornered by a black wolf, pressed against the inner wall of the city’s battlement. Behind the black wolf, there were two gray wolves keeping a close eye on Yu Meng, ready to pounce at any instant.

Yu Meng’s situation was precarious.

“If I die, I die!”

Shen Luo steeled himself and lunged towards Yu Meng.

Nearing the wolf, he leapt from the city wall, bringing the flag adorned with the Small Thunder Talisman down over the head of the black wolf. At the moment of release, he activated Small Transformation Yang Skill, infusing his Yang Gang Qi into the talisman.

From the blood-drawn charm patterns on the banner, a white light erupted from the character for “thunder” at the top, spreading downwards until it abruptly cut out halfway and extinguished.

“It… failed…” Shen Luo already had landed and his heart dropped.

Yet, in the next instant, a loud “rumble” echoed from the sky above!

A dazzling white thunderbolt plummeted from the sky, striking the skull of the black wolf, which was shrouded by the flag.

The head of the black wolf immediately burst apart like an overripe watermelon, and from within it, a dense cloud of green smoke emerged, accompanied by a charred stench.

The headless wolf corpse immediately lost its strength and collapsed, pinning Yu Meng underneath. The huge noise scared the gray wolves, who originally intended to pounce, keeping them at bay for the moment.

“Did it work? This power…” Shen Luo was somewhat dumbfounded but his eyes shone brightly soon after.

“Boom, boom boom…”

But before he could rejoice, the thunderous rumble echoed from the sky. White lightning, thick as a man’s arm, frequently illuminated high altitude, fell from above in succession, striking the wolf beasts on top of the city wall.

Everywhere the lightning dropped, white electrical threads exploded, striking the nearby wolf beasts, tearing them apart.

Along with the lightning, there were flashes of fire. Balls of crimson flames, as large as a peck measure, fell from the sky. As these fiery spheres landed on the wolf beasts, they splashed crimson flames everywhere, swallowing entire bodies in an instant.

Among the flames, sounds of sizzling along with the agonizing howls of wolf beasts filled the air.

Just within a few breaths, all the wolf beasts on this section of the wall had been slaughtered.

Looking up, Shen Luo could see seven or eight individuals levitating in the air above the city’s wall. Some were wearing Taoist robes, some clad in monk robes, and others draped in armor. They all looked different, but they all seemed to be enveloped in a splendid treasured light.

Those individuals continued casting their magic, attacking the wolf beasts at several other parts of the city’s wall.

“The immortal masters are here, the immortal masters are here…” Cheers broke out among those on the nearby walls.

“We’re saved, we’re saved…”

“We held on, we held it out…” Some people were crying tears of joy.

“Immortal master… are these… gods?”

Shen Luo was completely startled. Were there really flying gods?

Snapping out of his trance, he took a good look at the figures. Some were wielding Seven-Star Treasure Swords made of coin-like links, some were holding gleaming purple-gold bowls, and others held bronze long halberds, each implementing their own magical methods.

Among them, a short and chubby old man wearing a golden silk dress was the most conspicuous. Below his chin, he had a long gray beard, and he was dressed like a wealthy town gentry yet he was the most eye-catching among them all.

All he saw was the old man forming hand seals with one hand, and continuously releasing yellow paper charms with the other. As soon as the charms flew out, they lit themselves on fire in mid-air and exploded into a pillar of white thunder and lightning, striking the wolf beasts.

The old man was casting his magic incredibly fast, so fast that Shen Luo could not make out whether he was making hand signs or chanting spells. All he noticed was that the old man definitely did not use any Yuan Stone.

Only then did Shen Luo understand that the thick thunderbolt that saved Yu Meng just now was not from his Small Thunder Talisman but the result of the fat old immortal master’s intervention.
