Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 53: Kill!

Chapter 53: Kill!

In Wind Wolf Town.

After dinner, Tang San was called upstairs by Wang Yanfeng. Today was the day of their appointed meeting with the tiger mask man.

Just then, Tang San felt a sudden stir in his heart; the imprint of the Flash Leopard within him burned intensely, making his blood feel like he was boiling. He quickly used the Mysterious Heaven Technique to suppress the restlessness of the imprint. Although he did not know what was happening, he could guess that the Flash Leopards had arrived.

Somewhere outside the town, the yellow glow on Shan Ling’s body gradually receded, and when he reopened his eyes, they were filled with a fierce, crimson light.

“Right here. I can sense the presence of my clan. They are still so weak, but they are here. Damn it, right here! Charge with me, search the entire town, and show no mercy to anyone obstructing us!” Shan Ling roared and, in a flash, charged toward Wind Wolf Town.

The Flash Leopards behind him also let out deep roars, following in his wake, charging towards Wind Wolf Town with lightning speed.

The defenses of Wind Wolf Town had always been lax. After all, the surrounding area was a vast forest, and the nearest Flash Leopard clan was hundreds of miles away, so there was usually no need for a guard.

However, when Shan Ling’s roar sounded, the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town, who was about to have dinner at her residence, sensed something, and her murky gaze suddenly became focused and intense.

She abruptly raised her hand, unleashing a fierce wind that blew away the human vassals serving her. At the same time, her slender staff flew out from a room and landed directly in her grasp.

The staff rose high, and a beam of green light shot into the sky, accompanied by an ancient wolf howl emanating from its mouth.

Surrounded by the swirling green light, the high priest ascended slowly.

Shan Ling had already charged to the front of Wind Wolf Town, which had no walls or barriers. He charged straight in at breakneck speed, guided by the bloodline scent he had sensed moments ago.

He immediately encountered a third-order Wind Wolf.

The Wind Wolf, seeing a figure pouncing towards it, instinctively opened its maw to roar in anger. But before it could get a clear look at the assailant, sudden pain in its throat silenced it, and its muscular body slowly collapsed.

At that moment, Shan Ling saw the green light shooting into the sky. He shouted and leaped into the air, his body radiating intense yellow light, and the fur on his body burst into the same yellow halo that had appeared before.

The Flash Leopards that had followed him into Wind Wolf Town instantly felt their bloodlines boil, and their aura significantly strengthened.

This was a characteristic of the various demon clans. When a strong leader led their kind into battle, their bloodline enhanced those of their lineage, enabling them to exhibit greater combat power.

Shan Ling immediately spotted the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town rising into the air in the distance. He leaped across the town’s rooftops, heading straight for the High Priest. Capturing the leader first was a commonsensical tactic even for hard-headed beings like demons. This old Wind Wolf who was sending out warnings from the center of the town and had the strongest aura around, had to be the town’s core.

As she rose slowly, the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town saw the figure leaping toward her like a shooting arrow in the distance. Despite her age, her eyesight was excellent, and she immediately recognized her opponent as a Flash Leopard. When she realized the identity of her opponent, her heart sank.

Flash Leopards and Wind Wolves had always been deathly enemies. But as per the rules of the demon clans, although they occasionally clashed, they would not easily invade each other’s territories. The ancestral laws forbade this.

Yet, the opponent had come, and with such disregard at that! Moreover, his aura was incredibly potent, which surprised the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town.

“Why are you invading our town!” the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town shouted.

However, Shan Ling had no intention of conversing. He charged straight at the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town with an angry roar.

His figure almost disappeared the moment it pounced. At that moment, the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town felt a chill run down her spine, a clear premonition of a life-or-death crisis.

Without hesitation, she waved her staff, which emitted a deep green light as it created a massive aura around its body.

The bright yellow figure appeared almost instantly before her, claws reaching for her.

But the green light also burst outward, carrying a solid spinning force, forcibly pushing Shan Ling’s body to the side.

The High Priest’s somewhat withered body began to enlarge at this moment, and she cried out, “Ancestors, grant me your blessing!”

For a time, the green light surrounding her could not be any brighter, to the point that the emerald light began to turn an inky green.

Even the sky itself was illuminated by the green light at this moment. Vaguely, a giant wolf head silhouette could be seen flickering in the air.

Shan Ling missed his target, landing on the roof of a house. Watching the High Priest’s aura surge with its cry, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

“Ancestral Reversion? A priestess? There’s actually a priestess in this small town! No wonder they dared to strike against us.” Not only was he not frightened by the surge in the High Priest’s aura, but he grew even angrier.

At that moment, a long wolf howl sounded.

A formidable figure instantly rushed out and arrived beside the High Priest. He was none other than the Lord of the Wind Wolves.

Affected by the recent call of the High Priest, his body had grown to nearly four meters tall. Every single one of his muscles bulged, emanating a fierce aura.

He laid prostrate in front of the High Priest. His body was reverting further to its ancestral form. The High Priest floated up, landing on the back of the Wind Wolf Lord. It was as if the two merged into one, and their aura skyrocketed, quickly surpassing the sixth order.

Meanwhile, the Flash Leopards had also invaded the town, doing more than just searching. Upon encountering the Wind Wolves, they immediately engaged in battle. In no time, both sides were locked in combat.

There were many Wind Wolf clan members in the town, but not many powerful ones. Most were elderly, women, and children. In contrast, the hundred or so Flash Leopards who had come were all in their prime. In the ensuing battle, the Wind Wolves were caught off guard and were quickly overpowered, the fight leaving numerous bodies strewn on the ground.

The eyes of the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town, now purely dark green, flashed fiercely as she glared at Shan Ling. “Why? Why would you attack my clan? Do you not know that the Ancestral Court forbids invading another clan’s territory?”

“Invade? Your clan captured our younglings, and you dare to question me?” Shan Ling’s eyes glowed fiercely and his aura kept rising continuously, a clear sign of his fully stimulated bloodline.

“Captured your younglings?” The High Priest of Wind Wolf Town was visibly stunned and looked down at the Wind Wolf Lord beneath her.

Capturing the young of another clan was a grave taboo among demon clans. However, there had been such issues between the Wind Wolf and Flash Leopard clans in the past. In fact, their earliest dispute was because of this.

Wolf meat didn’t taste good, and no one coveted it. The Leopard Flash clan was pretty much the same. However, for some reason, the demons of the leopard clans were born with a kind of unique spiritual essence. Consuming a young leopard demon from any of the lineages intensely nourished the bloodline of all demon races. It could even enhance one’s bloodline spirit, promoting the evolution of the bloodline.

Therefore, the poaching of younglings from the leopard demon lineage had long since been a practice. The poaching was something the leopard demons deeply despised, of course. While fully protecting their younglings, they retaliated comprehensively against any race daring to poach them. This had led to several great wars, causing the leopard demon lineages to become remarkably united.

Eventually, the Ancestral Court of the demon races had officially declared a strict prohibition on poaching Leopard demon younglings. Any violation permitted the Leopard Demon clan to hunt down the offenders, and the Ancestral Court always held the offending clan accountable.

Therefore, kidnapping the leopard demon younglings was an absolute taboo!
