Wolf Wuji obtained enlightenment three hundred and forty years ago, awakening spiritual intelligence.
Realizing his weakness, he began seeking immortal cultivation.
After extensive travels, he became a Taoist's mount and learned various magic arts.
One day, rebellious thoughts arose - he refused to remain a mere steed.
He secretly murdered his Taoist mentor.
Wolf Wuji then established Wolf Gully Cave in Tang territory, mimicking the legendary Water Curtain Cave's master who once stormed Heaven.
Soon he became the demon sovereign of the region.
Minor demons flattered him, officials avoided him, earth gods hid from him. He befriended countless monsters...
Though recalling his celestial ambitions, prolonged existence gradually eroded his fighting spirit.
Now content guarding his territory,
He dared not provoke heavenly forces.
Until the day he whimsically decided to marry a fox spirit.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liuer intervened.
Unimaginably, Jiang Liuer rapidly became Wolf Wuji's living nightmare!
"Jiang Liuer!"
"Your life is mine!"
Demonic winds swirling, Wolf Wuji brandished his meteor-iron mace weighing 888 jin, its head bristling with jagged fangs that promised flayed skin with mere contact.
Emerging from his lair, Wolf Wuji immediately spotted Jiang Liuer challenging him.
Mortal enemies met.
Eyes burned crimson.
With bestial roar, Wolf Wuji swung his mace downward. Before impact, the weapon's aura already whipped Jiang Liuer's hair wildly. The wolf demon's massive frame, resembling a black-misted mountain peak, loomed over him.
"Clang!" - The Heaven-Anchoring Sea-Quelling Sword unsheathed instantly.
Ordinary blades would shatter against that mace,
But this was a South Sea Dragon Palace treasure.
Undeterred by the thousand-jin weapon,
Jiang Liuer activated Mountain-Bearing Technique and clashed head-on.
Weapons collided.
Shockwaves rippled.
Wolf Wuji staggered, palms numb from Jiang Liuer's supernatural strength. Jiang Liuer marveled at the demon's cultivation - even with Mountain-Bearing Technique, he barely withstood the blow.
Their fierce exchange produced a dozen clashes within moments.
Black miasma clashed with rainbow-hued sword glows,
Spectators watched in terrified awe.
"Such formidable combatants! Intervening would be suicide," murmured Shou Qing, eyes wide.
Hu Yuyu anxiously bit her lip, fearing for her savior.
The trembling abbot emerged from the cave,
Witnessed the battle, and fled muttering:
"No connection... Amitabha..."
"This monk shares no ties with that wolf demon."
......
"Jiang Liuer! With such power, why flee before?" Wolf Wuji demanded after being forced back.
His arms trembled, unnerved by the human's freakish strength.
"I knew no magic when you abducted that girl for your wedding," Jiang Liuer retorted, equally shocked by the demon's might. Without his Mountain-Bearing Technique mastery, defeat would be certain.
"Lies!" Wolf Wuji snarled, fangs grinding. "Even womb-cultivation couldn't achieve this in a month!"
"Precisely," Jiang Liuer confirmed.
"You dare mock me?" The wolf king's rage erupted. "Today I'll offer your head to my bear brother's spirit!"
Their battle recommenced.
Seizing an opening, Jiang Liuer summoned hundreds of bamboo spears from his spatial ring while casting Brain-Piercing Hundred Swords Art.
Wolf Wuji's hackles rose. Before him,
A cloud of sharpened projectiles aimed at his vital points.
While confident against bamboo, hidden iron spears glinted ominously.
The wolf deflected ninety spears but failed to stop concealed metal ones - an ear pierced, cheek gashed, forehead bone exposed.
Roaring in pain, Wolf Wuji's body swelled to eighteen feet tall.
He charged murderously, only to face another volley - pure iron this time.
"Again??"
A jaw-piercing iron spear stabbed into his mouth. Enraged, Wolf Wuji snapped the weapon but sustained enhanced fury-fueled strength.
His skull-crushing swing met empty air as Jiang Liuer vanished underground via Nether Passage Technique.
Bloodied Wolf Wuji searched frantically.
Reappearing from the underworld, Jiang Liuer unleashed watery sword clones from his hovering blade.
Whoosh!
The wolf's sweeping mace shattered three water clones but missed the true sword.
Thunk!
The dragon palace blade pierced through fangs, shattering teeth and tongue before exiting the skull's rear.
"Gurgle!" Wolf Wuji spat blood and flesh fragments.
Blind with rage, he attacked - unaware of the returning sword targeting his nape.
Jiang Liuer blocked the mace bare-handed using Diamond Wrath Body Tempering Art, arm bones cracking under impact.
Wolf Wuji's skull proved no match for the returning blade now protruding from his forehead.
Seizing the stunned moment, Jiang Liuer unleashed Mountain-Bearing Technique-enhanced punches, shattering ribs and pulverizing the demon's heart.
......
