Chapter 421: Four Against Two

Jiang Yun was no stranger to the sense of desolation in the sound that echoed from the black stone.

This was the third time it had appeared.

The first time was when it absorbed the humanoid sword intent from the Chop-Sky Sword.

The second time was when it absorbed the final technique of the Demon-Refining Nine Seals on the Luo family’s Against-Demon Bridge, the Demonic Life-Death Seal.

Afterwards, Jiang Yun had seriously pondered that this black stone must be an extremely powerful treasure, far beyond his imagination.

Besides being able to imprint items and enhance their effects, it seemed to measure whether something had comprehended the essence of the Dao.

If understood, based on the level of comprehension, it would integrate it into different aspects of the water it transformed into itself.

Its discernment was even higher than Bai Ze’s.

The powerful humanoid sword intent of the Chop-Sky Sword only reached the first level of water.

The Demonic Life-Death Seal, as the strongest technique within the Demon-Refining Nine Seals, only reached the second level of water.

But this time, what it said clearly targeted the formation, and it gave a very high evaluation in Jiang Yun’s eyes.

Although Jiang Yun didn’t understand the phrase "The Tao Without Words" very well, he could easily guess "one step to achieve the Dao."

This formation is only one step away from achieving the Great Dao!

Honestly, because he had seen the word "Dao" contained in it before, Jiang Yun was somewhat interested in this formation, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, now he realized that he may have underestimated this formation.

He always thought the most advanced formation he had seen was the Nine Snow Loop Array arranged by Xue Mucheng, but the black stone showed no response when he entered the formation.

In other words, this formation used by a small village to protect itself is only one step away from achieving the Great Dao.

And the step that was missing, might just be the so-called "unknown"!

The unknown, is not simply without a name, but refers to a specific meaning, which Jiang Yun was completely unaware of.

And he had no idea that, at the moment the ancient voice resounded, a very faint vibration was coming from deep within the ground beneath his feet.

Similar to the beating of a heart!

Jiang Yun refocused his thoughts, hesitated to use his divine sense to examine the formation, as he was concerned that the black stone might absorb the formation just like water.

In that case, he believed that the goodwill he had just won would instantly disappear.

This couple, as well as the people of the entire village, would definitely not let him go.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun’s worries were unnecessary, as he found himself in the valley, he turned back, and the formation was still intact.

Seeing no changes in the formation, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, and the middle-aged man beside him also sighed deeply.

Even though the two of them were angry for different reasons, in this situation, they couldn’t help but be surprised, and after looking at each other, they both burst into laughter.

This laughter once again eased the distance between them.

"Young brother, I am Xiao Wangjie, about what just happened…"

The middle-aged man clasped his fists, clearly wanting to explain further, but Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "It was just a misunderstanding, no need to mention it again, Xiaoxiong! By the way, what is the origin of Mu village?"

Jiang Yun was not afraid of Mu village, but Xiao Wangjie seemed very fearful, so Jiang Yun wanted to inquire about the situation regarding Mu village.

However, Xiao Wangjie suddenly slapped his head heavily and said, "Oh no, I forgot about your blood wolf, young brother!"

He had been too anxious earlier, only focused on dragging Jiang Yun into the valley, forgetting about the blood wolf and over thirty black wolves, they were still outside of the valley.

Just as Xiao Wangjie was about to rush out to bring the pack of wolves back, a huge shadow had already appeared in the sky, like lightning, soaring above the valley entrance.

That shadow was actually a large black eagle.

The giant creature was over 9 feet tall, and there were four figures on its massive body – two standing, one sitting, and one lying down.

The sitting figure was an old man with white hair, eyes closed tightly, looking as if he cared little about the world.

The two standing figures were middle-aged strong men with sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

The figure lying on the back of the eagle was a young man, holding a jug in his hand, eyes half-open as if still drunk.

However, when the man saw the blood wolf below, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he laughed out loud, saying, "Haha, I came for the calamity cloud, but never expected to encounter such a fierce blood wolf. It was worth the trip."

Jiang Yun felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing the man’s words.

Suddenly, he realized that even though there were no monsters in this world, the people living here seemed to have a great interest in powerful demon beasts.

Next to him, Xiao Wangjie whispered, "Oh no, it’s Mu Congsheng from Mu Village who’s come. He’s Mu Wanchun’s only son. Little brother, I’m afraid your blood wolf won’t be safe!"

Jiang Yun paid no attention to the names Mu Congsheng, Mu Wanchun, and Xiao Wangjie, but he just smiled vaguely at Xiao Wangjie’s last words.

Even though there were four people on the other side, the old man was very strong, at the Sky Reaching Realm level, while the other three were only at the Blessed Land Realm level.

Thinking they could steal the blood wolf from me, they were really underestimating themselves.

Mu Congsheng sat up and looked around the valley covered by a formation, then said, "It seems that the people from Xiao Village also have their eyes on this blood wolf, wanting to snatch it away, so they sent out a pack of wolves."

"But obviously, these black wolves are no match for the blood wolf at all, leading Xiao Village to have made a big mistake! This blood wolf will be mine!"

"You two, go and capture that blood wolf!"

Mu Congsheng pointed, and the two strong men standing behind him immediately leaped off the eagle’s back and strode towards the blood wolf.

At this moment, the blood wolf arched its back, its body covered in crimson fur standing on end, its eyes gleaming with fierceness, staring intently at the two strong men.

As a demon beast of the Blessed Land Realm, although it couldn’t speak, its intelligence was no less than that of a human, naturally understanding the words spoken in the forest.

Jiang Yun had rescued it from the Demon Refining Seal of the Luo family, so it would only ever acknowledge Jiang Yun as its master in this lifetime, refusing to be controlled by anyone else, hence it was preparing to attack at that moment.

As it wasn’t a match for the other party, it didn’t care at all.

Because it knew that Jiang Yun would definitely not ignore it!

Jiang Yun was indeed asking Xiao Wangjie, "Is there any way for a living creature to pass through this formation?"

Xiao Wangjie hesitated and said, "Of course there is, but, little brother, you better not act rashly, we can’t afford to offend the people of Mu village at all!"

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "I didn’t provoke them, it was they who provoked me!"

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Yun continued, "Don’t worry, this matter will absolutely not involve your village!"

This statement made Xiao Wangjie blush, as it was actually what he was worried about.

Now that Jiang Yun had uncovered it, although he still didn’t know what Jiang Yun was up to, he gritted his teeth and revealed the way to enter and exit the formation.

After listening, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "A two against one is a bit unfair, let’s make it four against two!"

As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, Xiao Wangjie saw three shadows shoot out before he could understand what Jiang Yun meant.

A golden monkey, a Unicorn Python, a white giant bear, and a red blood wolf!

Four demon beasts facing two strong men.

It’s four against two!
