THUD!
Even as powerful as it was, the Wolf King was still grievously injured by Jiang Chen’s strike.
Gushing blood, it was sent flying and slammed violently to the ground.
In that same moment, nearly all of Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was drained.
His face was deathly pale, and he had no strength left.
He collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Chen had exhausted his Cultivation in this battle. It had been an incredibly brutal fight.
He had given it his all.
"Jiang Chen..."
Zhan Yang and the others were shocked when they saw this.
But when Jiang Chen fell, they cried out in alarm and rushed over.
After Zhan Yang helped Jiang Chen up,
he asked, "How are you?"
Jiang Chen’s face was pale. He shook his head and said weakly, "I’m fine, just completely drained."
Having one’s Cultivation completely depleted is an extremely dangerous situation for any Martial Cultivator.
Jiang Chen had fought so recklessly, leaving himself completely defenseless, which showed how much he trusted Zhan Yang and the others.
After his time with them, he could tell that Zhan Yang and his group were truly people he could befriend.
"Brother, let me take care of Jiang Chen."
JinLing came over and took Jiang Chen from Zhan Yang’s arms.
She held Jiang Chen tightly in her embrace.
"Jiang Chen, get some rest."
Being held like this by JinLing,
Jiang Chen felt a bit helpless.
He had no Cultivation left and needed time to recover.
He could only accept JinLing’s care.
JinLing wiped the blood from his face, her expression filled with heartache.
"Big Brother, are you badly hurt?"
Lin Yuan also came closer, understanding that Jiang Chen was injured.
Jiang Chen managed a smile.
"I’ll be fine soon."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Sister JinLing is great at taking care of people, so I won’t get in the way."
With that, he immediately turned and left.
Leaving Jiang Chen and JinLing alone, Jiang Chen felt a little awkward.
JinLing, however, blushed slightly but still took out some clean water to wipe Jiang Chen’s face.
As for Zhan Yang and the others, they saw the Wolf King also lying on the ground, severely wounded.
"Kill this Wolf King."
"Let’s do it together."
Lev and Zhan Yang immediately charged forward, ready to kill the Wolf King.
But Jiang Chen quickly shouted, "Don’t kill it! Leave it half-dead."
Although the fight with the Wolf King had left them both battered, Jiang Chen could sense that this Wolf King’s Cultivation was impressive.
If he could subdue it, it would be a great asset.
He needed powerful allies by his side for when he went to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom to seek revenge on the Second Prince, Wen Shixi.
This Wolf King’s Cultivation was already good. With his Elixirs, it would definitely break through to the Martial King Cultivation level in a short time.
With a bit of nurturing, it could even become a formidable Demon Beast.
Hearing this, Lev and Zhan Yang went over and unleashed a brutal beating on the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King. Before, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves had scared them so much their legs went soft. Now the tables had turned, and it was their chance to bully the wolf.
They beat the already injured Wolf King until it was barely alive.
Only then did the two of them drag the Wolf King over to a spot not far from Jiang Chen.
Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng had already started gathering the corpses of the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves and digging out their Beast Pills.
Everything from a Purple-Haired Demon Wolf was valuable.
These hundred-or-so Purple-Haired Demon Wolves would definitely fetch a good price.
After cleaning up, the group found a secluded spot for Jiang Chen to recuperate.
After about half a day, Jiang Chen had more or less recovered.
Although he wasn’t fully recovered, he had regained thirty percent of his Cultivation.
He was already able to stand up.
"Thank you,"
Jiang Chen said to JinLing.
JinLing smiled playfully. "What’s there to thank me for? It’s my duty to take care of you. We should be the ones thanking you. If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t even be scraps of us left for the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves to eat."
Jiang Chen couldn’t disagree.
Seeing Jiang Chen had recovered a bit, Zhan Yang and the others came over to check on him.
Lev now understood even more clearly that although Zhan Yang was the team leader, the truly formidable one here was Jiang Chen.
Fighting the leader of the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves to a standstill showed just how powerful he was.
After greeting him,
Zhan Yang took out a Qiankun Bag.
"Jiang Chen, the corpses and Beast Pills of the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves are in here. We’ve already divided them up. This is for you."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the Qiankun Bag.
He saw that there were indeed over a hundred Beast Pills inside, all from the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves.
As an Alchemist, Beast Pills were very useful for refining Elixirs.
Naturally, he had to accept them.
As for the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf corpses, he didn’t take them, instead handing the bag back to Zhan Yang.
"I only want the Beast Pills. You can take the rest and sell them."
"From now on, whenever we get a haul like this, the crystals are all yours. I’ll just take the materials I need."
Zhan Yang gave a wry smile.
"If that’s the case, I won’t be polite either. It would seem pretentious otherwise."
He took back the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf corpses to exchange for some crystals once they returned to the Gambling City.
Meanwhile, Lev had already dragged the Wolf King over.
The Wolf King was covered in wounds and had no chance to recover.
Whenever it recovered even slightly, Lev would injure it again.
It had absolutely no chance to heal.
They knew that if they let the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf recover, they would be in danger.
So they kept it constantly injured.
"Jiang Chen, here’s the Wolf King. It’s yours to deal with."
Jiang Chen nodded. Having recovered some of his Cultivation, his movements were no longer hindered.
He picked up the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King and moved to one side.
He tossed it onto the ground.
Looking at the Wolf King, he said coolly, "I know you can understand me. Submit to me now, and I’ll spare your life."
He stared intently at the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King.
If he wanted to subdue the Wolf King, it would be best if it submitted willingly.
If the Wolf King didn’t cooperate, things would be more troublesome.
However, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf was incredibly proud.
It actually turned its head away, completely ignoring Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen let out a soft chuckle.
"As expected of a Purple-Haired Demon Wolf. You’d rather die than submit."
"But do you really think I have no way to make you yield?"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.
A gleaming golden Elixir materialized in his palm.
"Submit to me, and I can make you a Martial King Expert in an instant."
Jiang Chen said calmly, holding the Elixir.
As the Elixir appeared, a fragrant aroma wafted out, and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King’s nose immediately twitched.
It then looked at Jiang Chen’s Elixir with some surprise.
With its intelligence, it could naturally sense how tempting this Elixir was.
Just smelling the Elixir’s fragrance made its Cultivation stir, as if on the verge of a breakthrough.
Its eyes filled with a brilliant light, and even shock.
The Wolf King thought to itself, ’Well, I’ll be. It’s actually a Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill.’
That’s right. What Jiang Chen had taken out was precisely a Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill.
Previously, when the Foundation Strengthening Pill was auctioned at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion in Hanwu City, it caused a huge sensation.
The Foundation Strengthening Pill could help an expert with Martial Master Cultivation break through to the next realm.
And it wouldn’t even damage their foundation.
It was a truly divine-grade medicine.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King also knew of this kind of Elixir.
In fact, it had always wanted to break through to the Martial King realm. Although it was just one step away, it could never seem to cross that final threshold.
If it could obtain this Foundation Strengthening Pill now, it would definitely be able to break through smoothly.
