Chapter 88 The Heavenly Wolf Thieves

In a short while, none of the black-clad assassins present survived; all perished under the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. Wu Tianjiao was also

in dire straits . Having used two extraordinary skills in quick succession, his internal energy was significantly depleted, and coupled with his injuries, his face turned pale,

and he gasped for breath.

However, the matter was not over. Immediately afterward, a series of clanging sounds rang out, and more than fifty

armored , surrounding Wu Tianjiao once again.

Seeing these fifty-odd armored guards, Wu Tianjiao's heart trembled, his pupils contracted, and he secretly

gasped , knowing that this was another major test. Whether he could escape would likely depend on this battle.

The fifty-odd armored guards were all clad in heavy armor. This armor was unlike ordinary armor; it was entirely

black iron-colored, clearly far superior to ordinary armor.

The weapons these fifty-odd armored guards wielded were heavy iron spears, each over three feet long.

These were nothing compared to the suffocating aura emanating from them. The ghostly,

eerie energy and empty, colorless eyes made them seem less human and more like killing

machines, lifeless killing machines.

The deathly aura mingled with the chilling cold of their weapons, creating an unsettling atmosphere, as if one were buried

in a pile of rusty iron. Wu Tianjiao frowned inwardly. He could see this was the real killing move. The previous

two were merely used to wear him down; this group was the true trump card!

A bloodthirsty strategy, achieving maximum victory with minimal sacrifice.

This wasn't a common tactic among martial artists; perhaps only the military would employ such methods. Was it Wu

Wudi ?

Thinking this, boundless rage surged within Wu Tianjiao. A murderous aura emanated from him, growing

ever more intense as his true energy rose.

With a resounding "hum," the longsword left no trace. The blade swept across the heavens and earth without a mark,

as if it had cleaved everything in its path.

Faced with such a terrifying strike, the foremost armored guard didn't even flinch, his heavy iron spear thrusting out

like lightning.

With a "whoosh," without hesitation, the Dragon Soul Blade pierced the guard's body.

Due to the heavy armor's slight impact, the blade was momentarily wedged into the flesh, slowing its return.

With a "thud," Wu Tianjiao was startled and immediately rolled away, but the spear still

grazed his back, leaving a trail of blood.

With a "thud," the armored guard collapsed dead, but he made no sound whatsoever

, like a wooden statue. The other armored guards remained motionless, still holding their positions,

as if the fallen were wooden figures rather than their comrades.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao truly felt a chill. He had seen through the mastermind's true intention: to exhaust him with

over fifty armored guards, then capture him alive.

Wu Tianjiao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered inwardly, "You want to capture me? Fine, I'll give you a surprise and

show you my power!" His killing intent surged, and he unleashed his ultimate technique, the Nine Heavens Divine Sword.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…* Streams of colorful sword energy shot from Wu Tianjiao's hands—red, green, white… a riot of colors—

splitting the sky. The incomparably sharp Nine Heavens Sword energy pierced through the armor of the iron-clad guards, penetrating

their bodies one by one, the sword energy piercing through their entire bodies, entering from their chests and passing through their backs, completely piercing their

thick , specially made armor.

Dozens of iron-clad guards stood motionless like wooden statues, allowing Wu Tianjiao to shoot them

down. In the blink of an eye, more than ten fell, leaving only thirty-odd iron-clad guards.

"Kill—" A voice came from nowhere, like a death knell. Instantly, the thirty-odd

iron-clad guards seemed to come alive, dozens of heavy iron spears forming a net that locked onto Wu Tianjiao.

At that very moment, everything in the world stopped; time ceased to flow, and the wind stopped blowing.

A beam of sword light shot into the sky, soaring

straight to the heavens, shaking the celestial realm. As the sword light soared, a palm also descended from the sky, slamming into the ground.

Ten thousand swords fell from the sky, the flowing sword light causing a torrential downpour.

The palm also pressed down tightly on all the armored guards, immobilizing them as if they were frozen in place.

"Shhhh..." The consequences of the ten thousand sword lights flying down were predictable; all the armored guards were disintegrated

into small pieces of minced meat, completely unrecognizable.

Wu Tianjiao had now unleashed his full power, reaching the highest level, using

the final strike of the "Invincible Thirteen Slashes" and the Great Prajna Thousandfold Palm.

The final strike of the Invincible Thirteen Slashes was something even the "Divine Sword King" Wang Heng had not fully mastered, yet Wu Tianjiao

had . Coupled with the powerful Thousandfold Palm of Prajna, its might was unimaginable.

Having slaughtered all the armored guards, Wu Tianjiao had paid a heavy price, his true energy almost completely depleted,

leaving him utterly .

With a "thud," the Crimson Dragon Beast, worthy of its top-tier magical beast status, arrived at the perfect moment,

carrying the exhausted Wu Tianjiao away…

Only after the Crimson Dragon Beast had run several miles and reached a safe area did Wu Tianjiao feel the pain in his body. His

true energy depleted, and he felt as if he had lost his support, his mind somewhat muddled, as if he might collapse at any moment

.

Wu Tianjiao hurriedly took out a medicinal pill from his spiritual ring and swallowed it. This was the "Heavenly Tonic Pill," specially given to him by the Holy Mother of Heaven,

to refresh the mind, nourish qi and blood, and replenish physical strength and restore power in a short period.

He had suffered sword wounds, but fortunately, they were not deep, only affecting the flesh. This was thanks to his profound skill and

strong protective true energy; otherwise, this time, his chances of survival would have been slim.

Wu Tianjiao smiled bitterly to himself, thinking, "I was really careless this time. The assassins from the Wu family and the Baili family

are relentlessly pursuing me , and each assassin is more powerful than the last. This can't go on. No matter how strong my protective inner energy is, it

won't be able to withstand the assassins' swords. It seems I need to find some precious armor!"

The sun set, and twilight descended. Wu Tianjiao rode his Crimson Dragon Beast for over a hundred miles to a small riverbank. There,

he summoned the three women—Sword Queen, Ghost Princess, and Sword Maiden—to tend to his wounds.

The three women were quite surprised to see his injuries. Sword Queen immediately instructed Ghost Princess and Sword Maiden to clean them with water.

"Tianjiao, why are you doing this? There are so many of us. If you just let us protect

you, even if there are many assassins, they can't hurt you. Why risk your life alone?"

Sigh! Wu Tianjiao sighed and frowned, "You are my greatest secret weapon. How can I

easily expose you to the enemy? Besides, I am a man. A man must protect his women. I can't

let you die for me like Sister Hu and the fairy!"

The Sword Queen sighed softly and said sadly, "Li Niang and the fairy... don't be too sad for them.

The dead cannot be brought back to life. Only by staying alive can you avenge them!" She paused, then smiled and said,

"You haven't been to the space for a long time. Do you know that a strange thing has happened there recently?"

"A strange thing!" Wu Tianjiao asked in surprise, "What strange thing?"

"It's that Pang Ji, who was seriously injured by you and had been unconscious, has woken up!" the Sword Queen interjected.

"What?" Wu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. If they hadn't mentioned Pang Ji,

he would have forgotten about this woman. In the outskirts of Xianglai City, he had injured Pang Ji in a moment of panic and taken her into the Nine Dragons Jade

Bracelet space. Because she was severely injured and unconscious, even the Taiyin Goddess and the others couldn't revive her. They had

kept in a cave within the space, but unexpectedly, the Sword Maiden said she had come back to life.

Wu Tianjiao's heart stirred, and he probed the space with his divine sense. Sure enough, he found Pang Ji. He saw Pang

Ji chatting and laughing with Ban Shuxian, Meng Jinhua, Dong Tianyan, and other women. She was wearing a

red and white palace dress, which made her look incredibly charming and alluring.

She had indeed woken up! Wu Tianjiao was greatly surprised. He probed her with his divine sense for a while before withdrawing it. He glanced at Jianhou and the two

maidens and asked in astonishment, "Who saved her?"

Guiji shook her head slightly and said, "We didn't save her; she woke up on her own. We all found it strange.

Perhaps our previous acupressure and internal energy cultivation had a miraculous effect, and her injuries gradually healed, so she

naturally woke up!"

Wu Tianjiao nodded, neither confirming nor denying, and said, "This woman... I killed her brother. She and I

have a deep-seated hatred. I wonder if her waking up is a good thing or a bad thing? Will she come looking for me ?" "Revenge?"

Sword Queen chuckled. "I doubt it. From our conversation with her, we know her injuries have healed, but

she suffered a concussion and has completely lost her memory, even forgetting who she is.

She won't seek revenge until she regains her memory. Before that, you can completely conquer her and make her devoted to

you!"

Wu Tianjiao laughed, saying, "Aunt Feng, you really think of me! But right now, I'm on the run; I

don't have time for that. How about we wait until we're in Feng City and have some free time!"

Sigh! Sword Queen sighed softly, "We're so bored staying in this space all day! Tianjiao,

when you going to let us out so we can run around outside with you? No matter what, this space can't compare to the outside

world!"

"Yes!" Sword Maiden chimed in, "Young Master, please let us stay outside with you. We're so

bored ! We'd love to be by your side."

Wu Tianjiao thought about it and agreed, but then said with some difficulty, "I also want you to stay outside with me, but you

don't have any mounts. Letting you ride Heavenly Lions would be too outrageous. If Wu Wudi knew I had so many

Heavenly Lions, he would definitely hunt me down relentlessly. We only have a little over a hundred Heavenly Lions; how could we possibly defeat

the massive Imperial Air Force cavalry?"

Sword Maiden She rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "You! You're so stubborn! We didn't say

we absolutely had to ride the Heavenly Lion Beast. Why don't you just find some horses for us to ride?"

Wu Tianjiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My dear Aunt Feng, where am I supposed to find so many horses all at once? Besides,

how can horses compare to my Crimson Dragon Beast? If we travel together, I'll leave you all far

behind !"

Sword Queen snorted, "Why don't you do what we do and everyone ride horses so the Crimson Dragon Beast can rest?"

"How can that be? The Crimson Dragon Beast's ability to foresee danger is unmatched by horses; it can save my life!" Wu

Tianjiao said.

As he spoke, Ghost Princess and Sword Princess had already treated all his wounds and applied wound medicine. However,

in their eyes, all of this seemed superfluous. At this moment, Wu Tianjiao's wounds had already scabbed over and

begun to heal; his body's recovery ability was abnormally powerful, comparable to that of a magical beast.

"Perhaps..." Sword Queen frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Tianjiao, if I ask you to find us

mounts like the Crimson Dragon Beast, perhaps you won't be able to! There are almost

no However, the only one that can rival the Crimson Dragon Beast is the Unicorn.

How about... you find a unicorn mount for each of us?"

Her last words startled Wu Tianjiao quite a bit. His body, which was sitting on the rocks by the river, swayed. Fortunately,

Ghost Princess and Sword Princess reacted quickly and caught him, preventing him from falling into the river. "Young master,

be careful!" said the Ghost Princess.

Wu Tianjiao was quite frightened. He turned around with difficulty, looked at the Sword Queen in surprise, and pleaded, "Aunt Feng!

Please spare me! Unicorns aren't horses, nor are they like radishes or cabbages. They don't just appear out of thin air.

Where find so many unicorns for you?"

The Sword Queen's face flushed slightly, and she smiled awkwardly. She knew she had really put him in a difficult position, but she

said, "Aren't you very capable? How come this little thing has stumped you?"

"A little thing..." Wu Tianjiao exclaimed, feeling dizzy. "Aunt Feng! You're really talking

without thinking. This is a little thing? Don't you think about how many people in this world have unicorn mounts? If I

were to find one for each of you, then it would be..." He counted on his fingers, "At least a

dozen. Where am I supposed to find them?"

"The Monster Forest!" Sword Queen chuckled. "Aren't you the Lord of Wind City? Wind City is near the Monster Forest, and

there are countless monsters there, including unicorns. You've already subdued the Sky Lion Beast, so

unicorns will be a piece of cake, won't they?"

"Yes, young master!" Sword Maiden chimed in. "There are countless monsters in the Monster Forest, and there must be

unicorns . You were able to hunt the Sky Lion Beast in the Ancient Mountains, so you can definitely hunt even more monsters in the Monster Forest."

They were so angry at him that he couldn't speak. Fortunately, Gui Ji was understanding and didn't

interfere. She said, "Aunt Feng! Little sister, please don't make things difficult for the young master!

It's true that there are many magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest, but it's extremely dangerous. Not only are there countless high-level magical beasts, but there are also super magical beasts. Last time at Lingxiao Mountain, that

Howling Moon Python caused us a great loss. Do you want the young master to encounter a super

magical beast ?"

"Hehe! Gui Ji is so considerate of me!" Wu Tianjiao said happily. In

front of the Sword Queen and Sword Maiden, he hugged Gui Ji and kissed her on the cheek, making her blush and quickly

break free from his embrace and run away.

Such phenomena were nothing new to the Sword Queen and Sword Maiden. The Sword Queen chuckled, "I've only just realized that

Ghost Maiden is the best at winning over Tianjiao..." Before she could finish, her expression suddenly changed, and her gaze turned to the opposite bank of the river.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao and Ghost Maiden also heard the commotion. A rapid clatter of hooves came from afar, and

in the fading twilight, a group of people galloped along the main road.

It was a cavalry unit of over thirty men, all dressed in uniform light blue armor, each carrying

weapons . Perhaps having spotted the women on the other side of the river, the leader abruptly reined in his horse. After a brief pause,

they spurred their horses and charged towards the small river.

The group waded across, and about ten paces away from Wu Tianjiao and his companions, they dismounted to fetch water. As they did so, they

glanced at the Sword Queen and Ghost Maiden, some even dipping their heads into the water to wash themselves.

Not long after, the group of thirty-odd people began shouting and laughing loudly, causing Wu Tianjiao

and the others to frown slightly.

"Thieves!" Gui Ji suddenly whispered.

Wu Tianjiao was slightly taken aback. He had already changed into clean clothes and asked, "Gui Ji, how did you figure it out

?"

Gui Ji pointed and said, "This is the border between Yizhou and Fanhu, a paradise for thieves.

You can tell by their movements and the decorations on their clothes."

Wu Tianjiao looked at the clothes of the group and, sure enough, saw that each person had a silver beast head

embroidered Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a wolf's head.

Wu Tianjiao was no stranger to the martial world and had some experience. Upon seeing this, he frowned and asked,

"The Heavenly Wolf Bandits?"

Jian Hou asked in surprise, "Tianjiao, you know about the Heavenly Wolf Bandits?"

Wu Tianjiao nodded slightly, then shook his head and said in a gloomy tone, "I've heard of them, but I've never seen them. On the other hand,

I've not only seen the Black Wind Bandits, but I've also fought against them!"

Because Zhao Qingshan had told him about the destruction of Dinglong Village, and the Black Wind Bandits had also ambushed him, Wu

Tianjiao knew a lot about the bandit groups in the north. As soon as he saw the wolf heads on their clothes, he recognized them

.

However, Wu Tianjiao was a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't the Tianlang bandits supposed to be based in

the mountains around Jinyang? How did they end up in Yizhou?"

Jianhou chuckled and said, "Tianjiao, they are bandits. Wherever

there they can go."

Wu Tianjiao blushed slightly. In terms of experience and martial arts background, he was indeed much less experienced than

veterans .

"Let's go." Sword Maiden stood up and said softly, "Young Master, the Sky Wolf Bandit Gang is

one of the top bandit groups in the North, with many members, including many experts. Although I'm not afraid of trouble, we can't easily

provoke it! Especially given your current situation, it's best not to provoke them if possible."

Wu Tianjiao nodded slightly, glanced at the bandits, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "They...

since they're bandits, why don't they rob us?"

Sword Maiden smiled charmingly and said, "Among these bandits, there must be some with keen eyesight. Even if they

wanted to rob us, they would choose their targets carefully. Otherwise, they'd end up losing more than they gain, which isn't the style of bandits."

Wu Tianjiao looked at the group of people and immediately understood.

Of the four of them, only Ghost Maiden and Sword Maiden carried swords; Wu Tianjiao and Sword Queen didn't carry

any. Wu Tianjiao's treasured saber was hanging on the saddle of the Crimson Dragon Beast. Moreover, they were all martial arts

masters of at least the Imperial Martial level , and even a glance or a movement exuded a natural composure.

Furthermore, despite seeing the thirty-odd riders opposite them, each a fierce-looking burly man, they remained

unmoved, showing no sign of panic.

If it were Wu Tianjiao, he probably wouldn't have bothered with these unfathomable individuals either.

The four of them quickly tidied themselves up and headed towards the main road,

not even glancing at the thirty-odd men. Once

on the main road, Wu Tianjiao hesitated. In front of so many bandits, he couldn't very well put Jianhou and the

others into his Nine Dragon Jade Bracelet space, but he only had the Crimson Dragon Beast as a mount; he couldn't possibly cram all four of them onto it. The Crimson Dragon

Beast, on the other hand, seemed quite cheerful, as if it understood they were about to embark on their journey. It raised its neck high and let out

a loud roar.

A dozen feet away, two of the thirty-odd men had been silently observing Wu Tianjiao and his companions'

movements .

Just as Sword Maiden had said, they couldn't fathom the strength of Wu Tianjiao and his group, so they hadn't dared to act rashly.

However, when the Crimson Dragon Beast's roar reached them, at least half of the thirty-odd people turned their heads.

They were all seasoned horsemen. Hearing the roar, they knew they had encountered a fine horse.

Of course, they didn't know it wasn't a horse. If they had known it was a top-tier magical beast, the Crimson Dragon Beast, they

wouldn't have dared to rob it even if they had the guts. Earlier, the Crimson Dragon Beast had drunk its fill of water and was grazing in the distance,

so to attract their attention. But now that the Crimson Dragon Beast had roared, it instantly became their target.

"Halt..."

A sharp shout came from the group of thieves, and a burly man with a full beard stepped

forward , his eyes fixed on the Crimson Dragon Beast, his face filled with greed.

"What do you intend to do?" The Sword Queen's face turned cold, her heart filled with extreme anger. She truly didn't want Wu Tianjiao to cause any unnecessary

trouble , but these thieves were so oblivious to her own abilities; they were practically courting death.

However, her gaze shifted and landed on the Crimson Dragon Beast, and she sighed inwardly, thinking, "If only I knew Wu Tianjiao..."

If it were anyone else, they would all try to possess that crimson dragon beast.

The burly man's face was grim as he looked at the woman behind the sword, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. He secretly admired her

, thinking, "What a beautiful woman! How wonderful it would be to take her to the mountain stronghold as my wife!" Since she was the

one who spoke , she must be the leader.

However, the reaction of this man and three women was different. Facing more than thirty Sky Wolf bandits, they showed no fear

whatsoever ; instead, a faint disdain appeared in their eyes and brows.

The Sky Wolf bandit was a man of considerable experience and could not possibly misinterpret this expression. His

brow furrowed, and the four men and women opposite him became increasingly unfathomable in his mind. However, what

puzzled him was that there were four of them, yet only one mount?

"Brother Zhao, why waste words with them? This horse is fine, and the three women are beautiful.

Let's keep . The chief will surely like them and reward us."

A wolf bandit stepped forward, his eyes gleaming. His greedy gaze

lingered on the Crimson Dragon Beast and the women. However, his heart was even more ruthless; he actually wanted to keep the women and the Crimson Dragon Beast. As for

what would happen to Wu Tianjiao after they were left behind, he didn't even bother to mention it.

Brother Zhao's eyes finally filled with a fierce light. He told himself that in this world,

it was impossible to encounter a master so easily. With his own ninth-level Heavenly Martial cultivation and more than thirty

brothers with upper-level Level Martial cultivation, he was more than capable of roaming this official road freely.

Indeed, how could a true master use a mount? Besides, masters were extremely rare, not like

cabbages in the market, which could be obtained in large quantities.

Once he made his decision, his voice rose sharply, pointing at Wu Tianjiao: "You! Leave the horse and the women

behind, then you can leave."

From beginning to end, the band of thieves had mistaken Wu Tianjiao's mount for a horse. This wasn't entirely their fault;

Wu Tianjiao was worried the Crimson Dragon Beast would attract too much attention, especially its single horn, so he had deliberately

covered and tied a large red tassel to it, making it look like a blooming red flower. If one wasn't paying close attention, one wouldn't even

notice the horn hidden there.

Of course, the bandits were also quite discerning, noticing that this "horse" was different from others—its entire body was crimson red,

its legs and belly covered in scales, and its head didn't resemble a horse's head at all, but rather a dragon's head.

The bandit leader, Brother Zhao, also realized it wasn't a horse, but his eyes were captivated by the three women before him,

and coupled with greed, he didn't think things through. He only thought of leaving the three women and the "horse" behind to present to their leader.

Wu Tianjiao was furious. He didn't want trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either. Since the other party was so ungrateful and courted death,

he couldn't be blamed. Especially since these thieves' lecherous eyes were lingering on his woman, he couldn't let

them .

Although Wu Tianjiao was furious, he remained calm and said slowly, "Are you trying to

rob me ?"

The bandit leader chuckled and said, "We're not robbing you on the road, we're robbing the rich to help the poor. Kid, your

horse is nice. I've never seen such a peculiar horse before, tsk tsk! These three women...

leave them and the horse here, and I'll spare your life."

Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but chuckle. This was his first time dealing with thieves, and he hadn't expected that not only would they rob

people , but they also had a robbing-the-rich-to-help-the-poor mentality. But after the rich were robbed, the money might

not even reach the poor.

Before Wu Tianjiao could speak, the sword maiden chuckled, "Young master, if you hand over us and the horses,

do you really think these people will spare your life?"

Hearing this, the bandit leader felt relieved; it seemed he had been overthinking things. It turned out the four men and women

were merely outwardly impressive, and actually had little skill. His face instantly darkened,

and he made up his mind to kill the young man.

Gui Ji nodded slightly, echoing, "Thieves are naturally inclined to indiscriminately kill the innocent. The Heavenly Wolf Thieves have a terrible reputation

; even in the Nanhe area, they're well-known. They're ruthless. Even if you hand us over, young master,

they won't spare your life."

Wu Tianjiao looked enlightened and turned to ask, "Master Zhao, is what my maid said

correct?"

Haha… The bandit leader laughed loudly, saying smugly, "Boy, it seems you've been on

the martial world , you've gained some experience, that's right…" Then, his face darkened, and he said, "Today, you and your horses

will all stay behind. No one is leaving!"
