Chapter 1561: Little Wooden Sword

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1473: Little Wooden Sword

Seeing a shadow suddenly appear behind Wang Yan, and hearing the words spoken by King Yama, Beiming Xue and the others felt a chill in their hearts, immediately recalling the startling encounter with Yan earlier.

Could this newly appeared shadow be similar to Yan and cause harm to Wang Yan?

Yet Wang Yan paid no attention to the shadow behind him, didn’t even turn his head, instead coldly staring at King Yama, saying, “I don’t know where the traitor you mentioned is?”

Originally, King Yama proudly looked at the person behind Wang Yan, but seeing this person standing with head bowed and hands hanging, not moving a finger, King Yama’s heart sank.

At this time, everyone clearly saw that the one standing behind Wang Yan was Little Wolf.

Wang Yan then turned to look at Little Wolf behind him, saying, “Did he say you are a traitor?”

Hearing Wang Yan’s icy words, Little Wolf shrank his head in fear and quickly knelt before Wang Yan, saying, “Master, Little Wolf dares not betray again.”

Wang Yan coldly asked, “Why did King Yama plant you here?”

Little Wolf said, “King Yama instructed me to seize the opportunity to steal all of your Magical Treasures.”

Wang Yan nodded and said, “There’s nothing for you here, go back.”

Hearing Wang Yan’s words, Little Wolf obediently flew back into Wang Yan’s Starlight Ring.

After witnessing all of this, King Yama was dumbstruck, his mouth wide open, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

To know that this Little Wolf was also a Demon Beast released from the Nether Realm by King Yama, supposed to follow his orders, but now even less hesitant than Yan, directly submitting to Wang Yan.

For a moment, King Yama stared at Wang Yan with wide eyes, his face full of confusion.

Wang Yan said calmly, “Actually, your methods are brilliant— even with Little Wolf, I’ve never doubted him from the start. It’s just a pity…”

“What a pity?”

“It’s a pity that this subordinate of yours is too opportunistic. Years ago, he betrayed me, but that time, I made sure he deeply remembered the consequences of betraying me. So, he doesn’t dare to betray me a second time.”

Wang Yan was talking about years ago when Ying Zheng manipulated Little Wolf, causing him to betray Wang Yan, but Wang Yan remained quietly calculating, letting Little Wolf feel he’d succeeded, only to face utter defeat.

Since that moment, a deeply embedded shadow remained in Little Wolf’s heart, making him absolutely afraid to have any disloyalty towards Wang Yan again.

Initially, King Yama used tremendous Magical Power to precisely time sending Yan and Little Wolf out, leaving them by Wang Yan’s side.

But in all these years, King Yama was entirely clueless about what happened to them.

Ultimately, Yan was moved by Beiming Xue’s genuine feelings, Little Wolf was deeply intimidated by Wang Yan, and both finally turned to the light, leaving King Yama utterly defeated.

At that point, all of King Yama’s assumed ace cards for reversing the outcome were revealed, yet none were successful.

Watching King Yama stunned under the Blood Shield, Wang Yan coldly said, “King Yama, although your placement of Little Wolf didn’t succeed, it did help me—letting me know there exists a Magical Treasure that can break your Blood Shield.”

Upon hearing this, King Yama shivered, suddenly startled from his previous shock, his voice trembling, “Impossible, there’s no Magical Treasure in the world that can break my Blood Shield.”

But as soon as King Yama’s words fell, Wang Yan raised his hand, and in his palm, a small Magical Treasure appeared.

Although small, upon seeing this Magical Treasure, despair emerged in King Yama’s eyes, even emitting a hoarse, hopeless whimper from his throat.

“No…”

In Wang Yan’s palm, the object was none other than a small wooden sword.

Holding the wooden sword, Wang Yan said, “King Yama, now let me see whether your Blood Shield is tough or my wooden sword is heavy.”

With this statement, Wang Yan raised his right hand, and the small sword floated into the air, flying above the Blood Shield, then slowly descending.

As the wooden sword descended, it continually expanded, initially palm-sized, but in an instant, it became like a giant towering tree, with its tip heavily plunging onto the Blood Shield.

“No—”

King Yama screamed in fear, staring intently at the descending wooden sword.

The tip of the wooden sword landed heavily on the bowl’s bottom, emitting a mighty “boom,” causing the entire earth to tremble.

However, the Blood Shield merely shook, failing to break.

Unexpected joy appeared on King Yama’s face, and he couldn’t help but laugh loudly, “Ha-ha! Wang Yan, even your most mysterious wooden sword can’t break my Blood Shield, no one can defeat me now!”

Yet, Wang Yan gently shook his head, saying, “King Yama, don’t rush, the best part is yet to come.”

“Do you think you can scare me? You think I’ll be scared by you?” King Yama arrogantly shouted.

But as soon as King Yama’s words fell, the Blood Shield suddenly shuddered, immediately pressed down an inch into the ground by the wooden sword.

King Yama’s arrogant expression froze instantly, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Then, the wooden sword pressed down again, driving the Blood Shield another inch lower, now leaving half of King Yama’s body sunk below ground.

“What’s happening? What’s going on?” King Yama shouted at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan calmly said, “Your Blood Shield is the hardest object in the world, and my wooden sword is the heaviest in the world. Now, I’ve used the hardest object to trap you, and the heaviest to press you down, King Yama; you shall live underground in darkness thereafter.”

As Wang Yan spoke, the wooden sword pressed down continuously, pushing the Blood Shield deeper into the earth.

King Yama was extremely anxious inside the Blood Shield, attempting to lift the shield to escape.

But under the weight of the wooden sword, King Yama couldn’t lift the Blood Shield, his attempts only resulting in frustrated tapping against the shield’s wall.

The wooden sword continuously pressed downward, driving the Blood Shield deep underground before everyone’s eyes, creating an abyss that couldn’t be seen through.

From within that abyss, King Yama’s voice of defiance echoed.

Yet this cry grew dimmer, gradually fading amidst the rumbling sounds as the Blood Shield sank further.

At this moment, deep under the earth, characters on the little wooden sword emitted eight colors of light.

This colorful light shot forth from the depths, each color transforming into a mountain peak, eight peaks standing surrounded in front of everyone.

These eight peaks stood just like the eight of Mozi Academy, majestic and towering.

From this moment, King Yama was sealed beneath the mountains.

Watching King Yama finally defeated, everyone eagerly surrounded Wang Yan, cheering excitedly.

Wang Yan raised his head with a smile, looking into the distance, saying, “Next is only the final hurdle—Wilderness Pass.”

Just then, a gentle voice echoed from high above, “Yan’er—”
