Chapter 315: Chapter 184: The Pei Family’s Pursuers Arrive, Netherworld Plain

His group had arrived with overwhelming force, yet they hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Pei Ze before suffering such a heavy blow. They had lost six Wizards. How could Pei Zongguang not be utterly enraged?

He had completely lost his earlier composure. His eyes were bloodshot, and he longed to drag Pei Ze out, rip out his soul, and torture it with the cruelest methods imaginable for ten thousand years.

However, the only answer Pei Zongguang received was a brilliant, dazzling streak of golden light!

The golden light streaked across the sky like a meteor, shooting upward from below, closing the distance in an instant to appear right before Pei Zongguang.

By the time he reacted, his pupils had constricted into pinpricks.

He sensed an unprecedented threat of death from the golden light.

Horrified, Pei Zongguang let out a strange cry. The malevolent entity behind him instantly passed through his body, positioning itself between him and the streak of golden light.

As Spiritual Power poured into it, the nourished entity rapidly solidified, its savage features becoming clearly visible.

It let out a piercing shriek, its hands, tipped with sharp talons, clawed viciously at the golden light!

VMM!

The talons and the golden light collided in mid-air, unleashing a piercing drone that made one’s eardrums ache!

Time seemed to freeze for an instant.

In the next second, the talons violently shattered and disintegrated, rapidly dissipating. The decay spread to its wrists, then its arms and shoulders, and finally reached its torso.

With a final shriek of indignation and despair, the malevolent entity turned to ash and vanished into the air.

A look of terror finally crossed Pei Zongguang’s face as he witnessed this.

"No..."

His voice cut off abruptly. The moment the golden light touched him, Pei Zongguang was instantly disintegrated into the finest particles.

"!!!"

The surrounding Wizards stared at the scene, their faces etched with horror.

’The strongest among them, a Level 3 Crystalized Wizard, was killed just like that?!’

For a moment, a chill ran down the spines of the six surviving Wizards, as if they had been plunged into a cavern of ice.

However, before they could regain their senses, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed in their ears.

A giant wolf, five to six meters long and formed entirely of ice, abruptly burst from the dense forest. It charged forward, radiating an extreme chill. In its wake, countless fist-sized blocks of hard ice materialized in the air.

"This is... a Silver Frost Disaster Wolf!"

As members of one of the three great Bloodline Wizard Clans, the Pei Family Wizards couldn’t have been more familiar with the Meng Family’s Silver Frost Disaster Wolf.

Although the wolf’s appearance was clearly different from a Silver Frost Disaster Wolf, they still recognized its origins from its aura.

"Impossible! How does Pei Ze have the abilities of a Silver Frost Disaster Wolf?!"

"Is it a Bloodline Mark?!"

"But Pei Ze doesn’t have the Silver Frost Disaster Wolf bloodline! It’s impossible for him to integrate a Bloodline Mark!"

The faces of the Pei Family Wizards changed drastically, a mixture of horror and confusion.

But reality left them no time for their shocked disbelief. In the blink of an eye, the giant wolf bore down on them with an overwhelming, mountain-crushing chill. It slammed directly into one of the Pei Family Wizards, and its massive body abruptly detonated, erupting in a surging torrent of cold!

Despite desperately casting his protective spells, the Wizard hit head-on by the wolf didn’t even have time to scream before his body shattered, scattering as a shower of Ice Crystals.

The other Wizards weren’t hit directly, but the subsequent wave of cold annihilated their own malevolent entities and froze each of them into an ice sculpture, sending them plummeting into the dense forest below.

Only Pei Sheng, who was at the very back, managed to block the blast of cold. Its power had been greatly diminished after killing six people, allowing him to save his own life.

Yet as he looked at the scene before him, he felt not a shred of joy, only utter despair.

’Seven Level 3 Wizards and six Second-level Wizards, and they were nearly annihilated without even laying eyes on Pei Ze!’

’If it weren’t for his specialization in prophecy spells—though his combat power was weak, his defensive measures were numerous—he would have been reduced to ash or frozen into a statue just like the others!’

’How could he have ever imagined that Pei Ze was this powerful?’

Pei Sheng stood rooted to the spot, dazed. Suddenly, with a flash, a figure materialized out of thin air a dozen meters away.

It was none other than Pei Ze!

Pei Sheng recoiled in shock. He stared at Pei Ze in terror, not daring to make a move, having clearly lost all courage to fight.

Pei Ze, however, didn’t spare him a single glance. His eyes swept over the four ice sculptures below, which were being held aloft by the Fog Crows, and he shook his head slightly.

’Thirteen Wizards, and only five bodies left in the end. The amount of contribution points I can get has been cut by nearly half.’

’The one with the highest reward—the Level 3 Crystalized Wizard—didn’t leave a body either.’

But Pei Ze had no regrets. Given another chance, he would still have gone all out.

’After all, the enemy’s lineup was powerful. To face such formidable foes while thinking about rewards, holding back... what’s the difference between that and courting death?’

’Eliminating these people had come at a considerable cost.’

’Not only had he used up all four of his expensive Explosive Insect Crystals, but he’d also sacrificed a Silver Frost Disaster Wolf Bloodline Mark and the "Rune Disintegration" he had just re-inscribed a few days ago.’

’On top of that, four to five thousand Fog Crows had died in the earlier explosion, all to lull the enemy into complacency.’

’Wuyu would need a very long time just to re-form all those Fog Crows.’

’And even after using so many of his trump cards, one enemy had still managed to survive.’

’It was easy to imagine that if he hadn’t seized the opportunity—while they were still ignorant of his true strength—to unleash his full power and finish them, a drawn-out fight would have cost him far more to win.’

"A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Your Pei Family still has some strength left."

"But after this, you can’t have many Level 3 Wizards left, can you?"
