Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1804: 460: Lu Ping’an Slays the Wolf King!

"Kill!"

The Wolf King made no attempt to flee, despite having prepared his escape routes in advance.

He was acutely aware that the opponent standing before him would never strike without a high level of confidence in a successful kill.

Attempting to run now would only leave his back vulnerable, so he resolved to wait for a more favorable opening!

"Boom!"

A violent collision erupted between the two figures, causing the Wolf King to spray a mouthful of fresh blood.

Taking advantage of the momentary dissipation of energy, the Wolf King signaled his Red Flame Sand Wolf and shattered a Jade Talisman, preparing to flee through the heavens.

Lu Ping’an, however, had come fully prepared for this assassination and possessed his own formidable resources.

He had collected significant spoils from the Storage Rings of both Yu Tiansheng and the White Wolf.

The ring currently on his finger was one such Magical Treasure he had claimed!

"Suppress!"

With a sharp cry, he summoned a square Bronze Tripod covered in intricate engravings. Its appearance caused the void to shudder, nearly solidifying the surrounding air.

Even though this Bronze Tripod was not yet fully refined and could not release its maximum potential, it was sufficient to disrupt the activation of the Wolf King's escape talisman.

In the next instant, a golden fist accompanied by the roars of dragons and tigers surged forward. The force was irresistible, causing the space ahead to buckle and collapse.

"Not good!"

Terror gripped the Wolf King’s heart as he frantically crushed a second talisman. Despite this, he let out a muffled groan, blood welling up in his throat.

"Do you truly intend to drive me to extinction today?"

The Wolf King’s eyes grew crimson with rage, and his aura flared intensely. He spoke with a heavy voice, realizing that escaping today would be an uphill battle.

Lu Ping’an offered no reply, maintaining his relentless offensive.

"Red Flame Life Burning Escape Skill!"

Refusing a direct confrontation, the Wolf King chose to burn his very life essence to flee.

Knowing he couldn't easily lose Lu Ping’an, he reached into his Storage Ring and triggered a specific Token.

The reason he could lead the Wolf King Association in Black Desert Immortal City, looting and pillaging at will, was not just his ability to judge who to provoke; it was because he had powerful backing.

Normally, he wouldn't expect reinforcements to arrive in time.

However, because the Vast Sand Illusion Realm was on the verge of opening, his ancestor had recently traveled to the Endless Wilderness.

"I can only hope the Secret Realm remains closed for now and that the ancestor is close by."

The Wolf King was uncertain of his ancestor's exact location, but he prayed that the delay of the Secret Realm’s opening would allow for a swift rescue.

"Roar!"

The Red Flame Sand Wolf let out a final roar, lunging forward in a desperate attempt to stall the enemy. However, Lu Ping’an’s punch reduced it to crimson sand, which then turned into a stream of fire chasing after the Wolf King.

Lu Ping’an caught a pale figure that had been dropped from the beast's jaws and said, "Reinforcements will be here shortly; you must depart at once."

He set the man down, providing him with a Teleportation Talisman and a vial of Healing Pills.

The Loose Cultivator was stunned.

Throughout his century of Cultivation, he had never experienced such a selfless act of kindness.

By the time he recovered and wished to ask for his savior's name to repay the debt, Lu Ping’an had already vanished in pursuit of the Wolf King.

Lu Ping’an's massive frame was now wreathed in a golden blood-light, a sign that he too was employing a life-burning technique to increase his speed.

Watching the figure disappear into the horizon, the pale-faced man clutched his chest and shouted with all his remaining strength, "I am the Junior Wei Tianchong! I thank you for your life-saving mercy and shall return this favor in the future!"

Though the Wolf King had robbed him of his Storage Bag and treasures, he knew that as long as he survived, he could rebuild his fortune.

Upon opening the porcelain bottle and finding high-grade Healing Pills, his gratitude deepened. He swallowed a pill and immediately used the Teleportation Talisman to vanish from the area.

...

Elsewhere.

Several figures sat in meditation atop a peak within the Endless Wilderness.

Even without actively releasing their pressure, the faint ripples of magic power suggested these were masters at the peak of the Nascent Soul or at least the Core Formation stage.

Suddenly, a gaunt, elderly man with a sharp face snapped his eyes open, a Token manifesting in his palm.

"Hmm?"

He stared at the Token, a frown deepening on his face.

"Lou Mountain True Monarch, has something happened?"

A fair-skinned, middle-aged man nearby noticed the change and inquired.

"A junior from my clan has sent a distress signal. They must be in trouble; I need to investigate."

The elder known as Lou Mountain True Monarch was thin, yet he carried an undeniable air of command.

While the opening of the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] was a priority, he understood that the Wolf King would not dare summon him unless the situation was dire.

The others exchanged glances, wondering what could be so urgent at a time like this.

However, given his declaration, they didn't try to stop him, merely reminding him that the Secret Realm could open at any moment.

"Do not worry. Should the Secret Realm open, I shall return immediately," Lou Mountain True Monarch promised.

He gripped the token briefly before transforming into a beam of light, streaking across the sky toward the location of Lu Ping’an and the Wolf King.

...

At that same moment, a Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, appearing as if cast from pure gold, soared through the swirling sands of the desert.

"The conditions here are brutal. The Qi is thin, and every oasis with a spirit vein is already claimed. It is impossible to use a spirit vein to power the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] here."

Sitting atop the Peng, Lu Changsheng gazed at the endless dunes with a sense of frustration.

The Endless Wilderness was massive, exceeding even the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm in scale.

Without the aid of a spirit vein, relying solely on the connection between the Mirror, the Sun and Moon Token, and his bloodline tie to Lu Ping’an would be a grueling process.

He tried to perform some divinations to narrow the search, but he felt no guidance from the heavens.

"So be it. I will let fate decide," Lu Changsheng sighed, directing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng toward the borders of Wu Country.

...

Meanwhile.

"Boom!"

An explosion like a volcanic eruption tore through the sky, scattering gold and red light everywhere.

A figure crashed violently into the desert floor, carving out a massive crater.

"Cough, cough!"

The Wolf King spat out blood, his breathing ragged and his body feeling as though every bone had been pulverized.

Seeing Lu Ping’an closing in for the kill, he gritted his teeth, continuing to burn his essence and longevity to maintain his earth-escape technique.

Although Lu Ping’an’s mastery of earth-escape was inferior to the Wolf King’s, his immense Qi-blood and the Undying Golden Body allowed his life-burning speed to outmatch the exhausted king.

Throughout the chase, Lu Ping’an barely needed to strike; the sheer toll of the escape was draining the Wolf King dry.

The Wolf King was a Third Rank body refiner and a Core Formation Middle Stage expert, yet he was being pushed to the brink.

An hour later, Lu Ping’an sensed the Wolf King’s energy was almost gone and delivered a final, crushing blow.

The Wolf King’s face was a mask of fury and hopelessness. He tried to defend himself, but the golden fist shattered his body, leaving only blood in its wake.

"Bang!"

The Wolf King collapsed, his life force extinguished. He died with a look of pure resentment.

Until his final breath, he never saw his reinforcements, nor did he understand the reason behind Lu Ping’an’s lethal pursuit.

"Huff... huff..."

Lu Ping’an exhaled sharply, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.

Despite reaching the Third Rank Late Stage in body refinement, he hadn't fully integrated his two main techniques. He lacked specialized divine abilities and treasures, meaning his defense was top-tier, but his killing power was still developing.

If he had mastered the "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Technique" and his Undying Golden Body, the Wolf King wouldn't have lasted nearly as long.

"Once I return, I must dedicate myself to mastering the ’Dragon and Tiger Fighting Technique’ and the ’Nine Cicadas Undying Golden Body.’"

Lu Ping’an whispered to himself as he moved to loot the corpse.

Suddenly, the air rippled.

A thin, slightly hunched elder with an aura of immense authority appeared out of thin air.

When he saw the mangled remains of the Wolf King, his face twisted in rage, and his gaze locked onto Lu Ping’an.

The frail old man suddenly released a crushing spiritual pressure that felt as though a mountain had dropped from the heavens, pinning Lu Ping’an to the spot.

"You... you killed him!"
