"Bai Ning Bing ah Bai Ning Bing, hehe, what a Bai Ning Bing."
Ever since the Three Clans Competition, Gu Yue Fang Yuan would often murmur these three words to himself, so much that Yuan Fang's ears were almost calloused from hearing it.
It turned out that Bai Ning Bing had somehow obtained a Rank Four Ice aperture Gu.
This Gu could transform an aperture into an ice aperture, reinforcing the aperture walls. Its effect was similar to the Stone aperture Gu, and it could also amplify Snow and Ice Path Gu worms. Simultaneously, it extended the Ten Extreme Limit, preventing Bai Ning Bing from self-destructing on the spot.
During this period, Fang Yuan successfully broke through to Rank Four. Bai Ning Bing, worried about suppressing the Northern Darkness Ice Soul Body, temporarily halted cultivation, remaining at the Rank Three Peak.
Besides this, with the aid of Clan Chief Gu Yue Bo's Golden True Essence, Fang Zheng also smoothly advanced to become a Rank Four middle stage Gu Master, greatly increasing his strength.
The Wolf Tide had finally arrived.
On this day, dark clouds pressed down on the village, enveloping the entire Gu Yue Village in deathly silence. Countless Gu Masters climbed the watchtowers on the village walls, gazing outside with worried faces.
Outside the village, in the bamboo forest, countless wolf shadows darted about. Dense hordes of Electric Wolves completely surrounded Gu Yue Village.
Among the wolf packs, there were also over a hundred Bold Electric Wolves—each possessing the combat power of a Hundred Beast King, capable of contending with a team of Rank Two Gu Masters.
The dark clouds gathered thicker, the air heavy and stifling, a clear sign of an impending downpour. Gu Yue Mo Bei irritably scratched his pockmarked face, annoyed by the oppressive weather.
At that moment, someone roughly pushed him from behind, almost causing him to stumble and fall.
Gu Yue Mo Bei turned around angrily and saw a person with fiery red hair, his face full of disdain.
"Chi Cheng! What are you doing?" Gu Yue Mo Bei exclaimed, both furious and shocked.
"Hmph! I'm at the Rank Two Peak, while you're only at Rank Two middle stage. What right do you have to stand in front of me?" Gu Yue Chi Cheng sneered, pushing his way to the front of the watchtower.
The Chi Clan and the Mo Clan had always been at odds, and Gu Yue Chi Cheng and Gu Yue Mo Bei had been rivals since childhood. Even when they were both suppressed by Fang Yuan during their time in the academy, they still competed against each other.
"Awooo——"
A deafening howl echoed, both mournful and savage, causing countless Gu Masters on the walls to feel a chill down their spines.
"It's the wolves! The wolves are attacking!"
At that moment, a Family Elder leaped onto the watchtower. He summoned an iron chain gu to reinforce the wall and shouted to the Gu Masters on the wall.
"For the Family! All Rank Two middle stage and above Gu Masters, hold the wall!"
As dark clouds pressed down, the entire Gu Yue Village was shrouded in silence. Countless Gu Masters climbed the watchtowers on the village walls, gazing outside with worried faces.
Outside the village, in the bamboo forest, countless wolf shadows darted about. Dense hordes of Electric Wolves completely surrounded Gu Yue Village.
Among the wolf packs, there were also over a hundred Bold Electric Wolves—each possessing the combat power of a Hundred Beast King, capable of contending with a team of Rank Two Gu Masters.
The dark clouds gathered thicker, the air heavy and stifling, a clear sign of an impending downpour. Gu Yue Mo Bei irritably scratched his pockmarked face, annoyed by the oppressive weather.
Suddenly, someone forcefully pushed him from behind, nearly making him fall.
Gu Yue Mo Bei turned around in anger and saw a person with blazing red hair, his face full of contempt.
"Chi Cheng! What is the meaning of this?" Gu Yue Mo Bei roared, both furious and taken aback.
"Hah! You're merely at Rank Two middle stage, while I am at the Peak. Step aside!" Gu Yue Chi Cheng jeered, striding past him to the front.
The Chi and Mo clans had long been rivals, and Gu Yue Chi Cheng and Gu Yue Mo Bei had been competing since they were children. Even when both were overshadowed by Fang Yuan in the academy, their rivalry persisted.
"Awooo——"
A long, sorrowful howl pierced the air, making every Gu Master on the wall shudder.
"The wolves are coming!"
Just then, a Family Elder jumped onto the watchtower. He activated an iron chain gu to strengthen the wall and commanded the Gu Masters.
"For the clan! All Rank Two middle stage and above Gu Masters, defend the walls!"
The torrential rain poured down, and the iron chain gu tightened like a giant serpent around the village gates.
Outside the gates, the Electric Wolves surged forward like a tide, their momentum unstoppable.
On the wall, a Rank Two Gu Master shouted, "Hold fast! Our families are behind us!"
But the Bold Electric Wolves were far too strong. One of them charged, crashing into the wall with a thunderous roar. The wall trembled violently, and the iron chain gu creaked under the strain.
Gu Yue Mo Bei gritted his teeth, his body shaking. "We can't hold on!"
Gu Yue Chi Cheng sneered, "Coward!"
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, landing on the wall. It was Gu Yue Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan!" Gu Yue Mo Bei exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
Gu Yue Fang Yuan glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Hold the wall. If you retreat, I will be the first to kill you."
Gu Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng were both stunned, but they quickly nodded.
"Yes!"
Gu Yue Fang Yuan then leaped off the wall and charged into the wolf pack.
He summoned the Serrated Gold Centipede, its silver-edged serrated plates whirring like a chainsaw, a sound that chilled the soul.
Gu Yue Fang Yuan's figure flickered through the wolf pack, the Serrated Gold Centipede slicing through Electric Wolves like butter.
The Gu Masters on the wall watched in awe. "Fang Yuan is too strong!"
Gu Yue Fang Yuan fought his way to the front of the pack, where a Bold Electric Wolf stood.
The Bold Electric Wolf howled and charged, its body crackling with electricity.
Gu Yue Fang Yuan didn't dodge. Instead, he summoned the Bear Strength Phantom, which materialized behind him.
With a thunderous impact, the Bold Electric Wolf was sent flying, crashing into several other wolves.
Gu Yue Fang Yuan then activated the direct impact gu, his figure instantly appearing fifty paces away. A boar strength phantom manifested behind him, slamming the Bold Electric Wolf to the ground.
Next, Gu Yue Fang Yuan descended from the sky like a god descending to the Mortal realm, the Serrated Gold Centipede roaring in his hand. Another Bear Strength Phantom condensed behind him.
"Chii——"
A piercing cutting sound rang out, and the Bold Electric Wolf was instantly cut in half.
The wolves were both shocked and furious, fearfully looking at Fang Yuan and retreating several steps.
Meanwhile, the Gu Yue Clan Members erupted into earth-shaking cheers. Shouts like "Fang Yuan is the Red Sun of Gu Yue Village" and "Lord Fang Yuan is my role model" filled the air, expressing their fervent admiration for him.
Seeing this, the remaining two Bold Electric Wolves roared and pounced. At that moment, three Rank Three Family Elders jumped from the wall, landing beside Fang Yuan.
"Lord Fang Yuan, we are here to assist you!"
Fang Yuan did not refuse and immediately joined forces with the three Elders to face the two wolves. During the fierce battle, one Elder was accidentally injured, but both wolves were eventually slain.
"Flesh White Gu!"
Fang Yuan focused his mind, a green halo glowing in his palm, covering the injured Elder's wound.
The blood at the wound instantly stopped, and the flesh gradually healed. In a moment, the wound was restored as before.
"Thank you, Lord Fang Yuan!"
The Elder was tearfully grateful, but Fang Yuan looked indifferent.
In his previous life, due to insufficient Aptitude, he was forced to step onto the Demonic Path, living a life licking blood from a knife's edge every day, constantly facing life-threatening dangers.
In this life, Fang Yuan has A-grade aptitude and possesses a Heaven-Defying treasure like the bone flesh reunion gu, making building a force undoubtedly twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, having served as the leader of the Blood Wing Demonic Cult, with such experience, why not try to create his own Gu Yue Village in this life? The Righteous Path emphasizes morality and benevolence. If he can achieve his goals through reputation, why not?
"Lord Fang Yuan, look! It's a paper crane gu, from the North Gate!"
Fang Yuan grabbed the paper crane gu and read the distress message sent by the Family Elders Gu Yue Yao Ji, Ancient Moon Fangzheng, and Gu Yue Shi guarding the North Gate.
His eyes narrowed—it was actually a Thunder Crown Head Wolf! This Thunder Crown Head Wolf possessed the combat power of a Ten Thousand Beast King, capable of commanding tens of thousands of beasts, making it a top-tier combatant in this Wolf Tide.
A moment later, another paper crane gu flew to the Clan Chief's Pavilion.
It turned out that Clan Chief Gu Yue Bo had also detected the presence of the Thunder Crown Head Wolf and immediately sent orders to the East, West, and South Gates:
"Hold the gates at all costs. All Family Elders at Rank Three initial stage and above are to reinforce the North Gate immediately."
Outside the North Gate, beneath the lightning-streaked dark clouds, a Thunder Crown Head Wolf as huge as a small mountain raised its head and let out a thunderous howl.
The wolf pack surged forward in response, and the Thunder Crown Head Wolf also slowly emerged from the clouds. A pair of electric eyes flickered with lightning, hosting an Electric Eye Gu.
This Gu belongs to the reconnaissance type. With this Electric Eye Gu, the Thunder Crown Head Wolf scanned the entire Gu Yue Village in a single glance.
The iron chain gu on the North Gate gradually loosened, like a giant serpent coiled around the city gate, retracting to either side of the gate.
The gate swung open with a boom. Leading the charge was the Rank Four Clan Chief Gu Yue Bo, followed by over twenty Rank Three Family Elders.
Fang Yuan stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance. He saw over thirty high-ranking members of the Gu Yue Clan charge directly at the Thunder Crown Head Wolf, slaying hundreds of Electric Wolves and Bold Electric Wolves. Corpses lay scattered in disarray on the ground.
"Clan Chief! Elders! You must win!"
A Gu Master stood on the wall, sweating profusely from tension. He knew this was the Gu Yue Clan's top combat force. If they were defeated, the entire Gu Yue Village would be in grave danger.
"Yuan Fang, you should follow them."
Earlier, the Gu Yue Clan Chief, worried the wolves might use a strategy of relieving the besieged by besieging the base of the besiegers, had ordered Yuan Fang to guard the city gate, holding the rear.
But Fang Yuan obeyed orders not for any sense of clan honor—the Thunder Crown Head Wolf surely concealed many rare Gu worms.
However, at present, he only had three Rank Four Gu worms in hand, and his combat power was still lacking.
The bone dragon gu, as an offensive Gu, undoubtedly possessed top-tier power. The Bone Wing Gu's movement speed was faster than the Blood Shift killing move, but it consumed True Essence extremely. The Elder Gu could only store primeval stones, while the Rank Three doushuai flower Gu could temporarily alleviate the urgent need.
"I need a powerful defensive Gu. The Heavenly Canopy Gu's defense is too soft and gentle, lacking rigidity, making it difficult to support my Strength Path cultivation. The golden steel gu would have been the best choice, but it's too rare, so I'll have to settle for the next best thing."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Yuan flapped his Blood Wings and flew directly towards the Thunder Crown Head Wolf.
Everyone looked over, but no one spoke to stop him—this was a moment of life and death for Gu Yue Village. In desperate situations, people always instinctively attach themselves to the strong and form dependencies, so no one questioned Fang Yuan's decision.
"It's Lord Fang Yuan!"
Fang Yuan soared past the heads of the Gu Yue Clan's high-ranking members. He agilely dodged the attacks of the Electric Path Gu worms from the wolf pack.
Gu Yue Bo, seeing Fang Yuan disobey orders and leave the village, was both angry and anxious in his heart. Yet, he also secretly pinned his hopes on him. The wolf pack was simply too powerful. Even Gu Yue Bo had already expended a great deal of True Essence. Moreover, a Family Elder named Gu Yue Ye had tragically died in the jaws of a Bold Electric Wolf.
"Lord Fang Yuan! Be careful!"
The School Elder Gu Yue Shi cried out in alarm.
Before his words even finished, that Thunder Crown Head Wolf suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a thunderbolt the size of a calf, wrapped in crackling electricity, shooting towards Fang Yuan in the sky at high speed. All the Family Elders, including Gu Yue Bo, were greatly alarmed.
Just as the thunderbolt was about to strike Fang Yuan's chest, he raised his hand and a pale white five-clawed bone dragon gu materialized out of thin air, twisting its bony body and colliding head-on with the thunderbolt, actually directly intercepting it.
"This Aura... could it be a Rank Four bone dragon gu?"
"Indeed."
