After the Heavenly Wolf Smoke transformed into the "Heavenly Wolf Battle Armor", its defensive capabilities were further enhanced, and the fierce and ominous qi became even thicker. This gave Fang Han a huge advantage when facing the Heavenly Demons, and also added to his capital for saving his own life and rescuing others.
His charging down to save them was not a reckless action, but because he saw that these Heavenly Demons had broken through the defensive line of the eight female disciples and were all howling and surging forward to get a share of the spoils, having no time to worry about their rear, thus catching them off guard.
Like a fierce Heavenly Wolf, he aimed at his prey and charged from top to bottom, his aura tragic and unyielding, mixed with his own loud roars and long whistles. His breath was originally long and deep, and his voice extremely strong. With this charge and roar, the sonic waves and air currents generated were even more violent than the Spirit Artifacts "Pine Wave Qin" and "Cloud Water Flute" from just now.
He immediately blasted open a path, carving out a bloody trail.
His strikes were ruthlessly precise. His palms scooped out, shooting black qi; with every grab and smack, a Heavenly Demon would shatter, unable to coalesce its physical form, and would be secretly sent into the Crouching Dragon Yellow Spring Map by him to be refined into a pill.
In just these few simple breaths of time, twenty or thirty of the hundreds of Heavenly Demons were killed by him. This was still because he was unwilling to disperse the Heavenly Wolf Smoke to capture them. If he had arranged the Heavenly Wolf Smoke into a net, with one cast, perhaps a hundred Heavenly Demons would be caught in one sweep. However, losing the protection of the Heavenly Wolf Smoke, his own life would not last long.
"Stop him!"
The several powerful Heavenly Demons that had transformed into naked burly men reacted extremely quickly. With an explosive roar, they let out sharp shrieks, scooped their hands, and sinister winds erupted, rolling like thunder to intercept Fang Han.
Fang Han did not meet force with force. He made a posture and slid outwards. When the Heavenly Demons moved to intercept outwards, he suddenly sank his body, turning into a streak of black light that spun rapidly around "Xu Yue'er", "Little Yu", and the other female disciples. Subsequently, these female disciples were enveloped within the Heavenly Wolf Smoke, and each female disciple was temporarily protected.
"Fortunately, there are only eight of these women. If there were more, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Wolf Smoke to protect them all."
For every portion the Heavenly Wolf Smoke divided into, its power decreased by one degree. Splitting into eight masses at once to protect the various female disciples, the Heavenly Wolf Battle Armor on Fang Han's body immediately began to disintegrate, turning back into the wolf smoke magic orb. Its speed, power, and protective strength all weakened.
"Everyone, do not panic. I am Fang Han, a disciple of the Yuhua Sect here for the trial. Because I possess a demonic treasure, I can subdue the Heavenly Demons. There has been an unexpected change in the Heavenly Demon battlefield this time; we must help each other in the same boat to survive this calamity!"
When Fang Han's voice reached the ears of the eight female disciples, they all breathed a sigh of relief. When they were initially enveloped by the black smoke, they thought it was Heavenly Demon magic and were extremely terrified, but hearing that it was a fellow disciple coming to the rescue, they all knew they had escaped a great tribulation of life and death.
The leaders of the two female disciples, Xu Yue'er and Yu'er, were extremely grateful to the rescuing Fang Han at this moment! Their eyes almost welled up with tears. This was truly sending charcoal in snowy weather; if not for Fang Han's intervention, they would have already fallen victim to the Heavenly Demons' venomous hands by now, and even dying would have been difficult.
"Which Senior Brother has arrived? For today's life-saving grace, even if our bodies are smashed to pieces, it would be hard for us eight sisters to repay it." Xu Yue'er called out loudly.
Whoosh, whoosh! The wolf smoke underwent a transformation, forming a massive smoke sphere several zhang in radius, wrapping the eight people along with Fang Han inside it, forming a solid protective layer.
Outside the smoke sphere were countless fluttering Heavenly Demons, constantly attacking, causing the outside smoke and mist to roll and fluctuate, but they could not break through the defense.
At this time, Xu Yue'er, Yu'er, and the other six female disciples had already seen Fang Han standing in the middle. The current Fang Han stood tall and proud, brimming with heroic spirit, his figure approaching perfection. Even wearing magic clothes, one could still feel the smooth lines formed by the muscles on his body, as if he were a divine statue carved by thousands of master artists. His temperament and charm possessed a certain magnetic quality.
Seeing this, the eyes of the eight female disciples all lit up: "What a man with a perfect physique."
Fang Han's current figure and temperament were completely different from before, as different as heaven and earth. This was because he had cultivated to the Spirit Transformation realm and could use vitality and blood to stimulate his Spirit Transformation acupoints to alter his body, but more importantly, it was due to the medicinal power of the "Nine Orifices Golden Pill". Otherwise, even an ordinary Spirit Transformation expert would not have such perfect, smooth body lines.
"Senior Brother Fang Han! Could this magic treasure of yours be the Heavenly Wolf Seven Malignancies Smoke? Rumor has it that it is stored within the Treasure Artifact, the Seven Malignant Gourd, and is a treasure of the Demon God Sect. How did it end up in your hands?"
Xu Yue'er had sharp eyes and extensive knowledge, actually recognizing at a glance that what enveloped them was the Heavenly Wolf Smoke.
"It was snatched from the Demon God Altar by Senior Sister Qingxue and given to me for self-defense. Who would have thought it would come in such handy today. However, we are still not out of danger. I have not cultivated to the Divine Ability Realm, so this wolf smoke cannot unleash its maximum power. Now that it is wrapping the nine of us, our flight will become slow, and we cannot escape the Heavenly Demons' pursuit."
Fang Han explained smoothly, leaving no flaws.
The Heavenly Wolf Smoke could only reach extreme speeds and escape the pursuit of Heavenly Demons when highly condensed into the Heavenly Wolf Battle Armor. Now that it was dispersed, turned into a large magic orb, and also carrying nine people, to fly slowly would be like a turtle crawling compared to the Heavenly Demons. Rather than fleeing, it was better to stay where they were.
"Oh right, I haven't asked for the names of the few Junior Sisters and Senior Sisters."
"My name is Xu Yue'er, and her name is Ye Yu. Senior Brother Fang can just call us Yue'er and Yu'er. We have been in the sect for five years and have taken the examination on the Heavenly Demon battlefield twice. Although we didn't pass the previous time, we escaped unscathed. This time we had made sufficient preparations, but didn't expect such an unexpected change to occur…"
"So it's two Senior Sisters. I've only been in the sect for a short half year… I haven't asked for the fair names of the other Senior Sisters." Fang Han offered a greeting to the remaining six female disciples.
Giggle giggle giggle…
They all began to laugh.
These female disciples hadn't expected someone with such formidable strength like Fang Han to be so modest and amiable. Unlike most other disciples who, once their strength grew, would become extremely cold and arrogant, putting on great airs and making a grand show of themselves. Yet Fang Han, having just saved their lives, showed not the slightest hint of demanding a reward for his deeds.
Thus, their favorable impression of Fang Han increased to the maximum.
As for Fang Han being so powerful despite only being in the sect for half a year, it wasn't a rare thing. The outer sect disciples of the Yuhua Sect were mostly individuals who had already attained great strength in their outside cultivation before entering the sect for advanced studies. Although Fang Han was absurdly strong, considering his connection with Fang Qingxue, it wasn't strange at all.
"My name is Ai Wei."
"Zi Xuan."
"Hehe, I'm Yan Xiaoyu."
"Yan Xiaoxing, Xiaoyu is my younger sister."
"Senior Brother Fang Han, my name is Lin Fengxi."
"Nan Beibei. I am a Profound-rank member of the Jialan Society, oh." The youngest female disciple among them, who appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, said.
"Jialan Society?" Fang Han was momentarily stunned, and asked.
"The Jialan Society is a small organization formed by us female disciples in the sect. It's to protect ourselves from being bullied by other disciples, and we can also cultivate together, help each other, and enhance our strength. Senior Brother Fang Han, your time in the Yuhua Sect has been short, so you might not know that among the nearly four hundred thousand outer sect disciples and five thousand inner sect disciples in our Yuhua Sect, there are many small organizations. Some true disciples are even the heads of these organizations."
Xu Yue'er quickly explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Fang Han immediately understood. With so many disciples in the Yuhua Sect, a mix of dragons and fishes, it was inevitable to form cliques. It was to strive for their respective interests and avoid being bullied. Even in the imperial court, among those civil and military officials, there were those who formed factions for personal gain. There were factions among the literati, and factions among the generals as well.
Moreover, as disciples of the Yuhua Sect, the struggle for interests was much greater than in the imperial court.
The imperial court only offered fame and wealth, while the Yuhua Sect's interests were power, divine abilities, and immortality. The allure of these things was enough to spawn many bizarre and varied interest groups.
Where there are people, there is the martial world.
Where there are interests, there are disputes and factions.
Especially on the path of exploring for power.
"Senior Brother Fang Han saved our lives this time. We will report this to the First Senior Sister of our Jialan Society. If Senior Brother encounters any trouble in the future, we will go through fire and water, without hesitation, and do our utmost!"
Ye Yu, the woman also known as "Yu'er", said.
Hearing these words, Fang Han rejoiced in his heart, knowing he had made the right choice in saving them this time. Having the Jialan Society owe him such a huge favor would make things much easier for him in the future. Just by looking at the fact that these eight women could borrow Spirit Artifacts, the power of the Jialan Society was certainly not limited to the outer sect disciples, but also existed among the inner sect disciples. Perhaps their "First Sister" was even a true disciple!
One should know that one hundred and eight true disciples was already quite a lot.
Just as he was about to speak, the situation suddenly changed!
Boom!
The wolf smoke suddenly fluctuated violently, and everyone inside was shaken until their minds grew restless and their vitality and blood surged. Looking outside, they saw that the several Heavenly Demon leaders, the naked burly men, had once again commanded hundreds of Heavenly Demons to form a wind drill, viciously drilling inwards!
