Chapter 109 | Transmigrated as the Male Lead's Background Clan Sister

Its nose twitched vigorously several times, and its entire body tensed up as it quickly scribbled words on the ground.

“Ahead, I smell the scent of several hundred Quiet Heart Grass. Let's go quickly.”

After writing, it was about to head straight over, but Ye Ling held it down and lowered her voice.

“With several hundred gathered together, there is bound to be a high-tier demon beast guarding them.”

“Don't rush. I'll go take a look first.”

She put the demon frog back into the beast-taming bag, circulated her Turtle Breathing Art to conceal all of her aura, and crept forward alone.

Before she had gone far, a wide clearing came into view.

The clearing was densely packed with Quiet Heart Grass—at least several hundred of them—and their medicinal fragrance was so thick it was stifling.

At the edge of the clearing lay a Demon Claw Wolf, its body as massive as a small mountain.

Observing its thick and heavy demonic aura, it was clearly at the peak Xiantian Realm, just one step away from the Tongxuan Realm.

Instead of being discouraged, Ye Ling's eyes lit up. She had finally encountered an opponent truly worth fighting.

She retraced her steps, released the demon frog, and told it the truth.

“There are indeed several hundred Quiet Heart Grass ahead, but a peak Xiantian Realm Demon Claw Wolf is guarding them.”

“Peak Xiantian Realm?”

The demon frog froze for a moment, then quickly wrote.

“Then forget it. Let's look somewhere else. We can't afford to provoke one of that level.”

Ye Ling waved her hand to interrupt it. “No need to change locations. I'll go up and tie down that wolf.”

“While I distract it, use Void Evasion to sneak over and collect all the Quiet Heart Grass.”

“With me drawing its attention from the front, your movements will be very safe.”

“And don't worry about me. You know my strength.”

The demon frog recalled Ye Ling's sword strike that had split the miasma that day. Feeling somewhat reassured, it nodded heavily.

The two of them delayed no longer and quickly rushed toward the herb field.

Ye Ling did not hide her presence. The moment she drew near, the peak Xiantian Realm Demon Claw Wolf was instantly startled awake.

Its mountain-like body rose abruptly, and its monstrous, ferocious aura forced the surrounding miasma to recede to both sides.

As the Demon Claw Wolf stared at the young human before it, a trace of solemnity actually arose in its heart.

It had occupied the richest territory in Heifeng Valley for hundreds of years and had seen countless martial artists enter for training, but it had never seen anyone so young who could give it such a sense of pressure.

It glared intently at Ye Ling, intending to use its imposing pressure to force her to retreat.

But Ye Ling's eyes held nothing but battle intent. The Qinglan Sword unsheathed with a flash of cold light, and she charged forward, sword in hand.

Seeing that the opponent not only refused to retreat but even dared to take the initiative to provoke it, the Demon Claw Wolf's rage flared up. It pounced forward to slaughter Ye Ling.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sword edge and sharp claws collided, and the ear-piercing ring of clashing metal echoed continuously throughout the entire valley.

The moment they clashed, Ye Ling truly felt the strength of a peak Xiantian Realm demon beast.

Having tempered its physical body with miasma for hundreds of years, its flesh was incredibly tough. Even though she had cultivated the first layer of the True Dragon Treasure Body, she could not guarantee she could overpower it.

If her True Dragon Unfettered Art had reached the second layer, she could have directly crushed it. For now, she could only use her sword techniques and Sword Force to maneuver.

The Demon Claw Wolf was even more shocked. It knew that the human race possessed body-tempering cultivation methods.

But it had never seen a young human whose physical body was tough to this extent, actually able to clash with it head-on.

Ye Ling needed to lock all of the Demon Claw Wolf's attention onto herself so it wouldn't notice the movement behind it.

Therefore, she no longer held back. Her Xiantian Sword Force erupted fully, and her sword techniques, wrapped in sharp sword qi, pressed forward once more.

Driven to fury, the Demon Claw Wolf roared repeatedly, unleashing its full demonic aura to meet her head-on.

The person and the beast became thoroughly locked in a fierce struggle. Sword qi swept across the area, claw winds tore up the ground, and the miasma boiled and churned under the violent forces. The scene was incredibly terrifying.

Watching from a distance, the demon frog's heart leaped in fright, gaining a deeper understanding of Ye Ling's strength.

It dared not delay. While the Demon Claw Wolf was fully invested in the battle, it quietly activated Void Evasion and slipped into the Quiet Heart Grass field.

It was born with a small storage space inside its stomach. Though not large, it was more than enough to hold these several hundred stalks of grass.

Opening its wide mouth, the demon frog frantically swallowed patches of Quiet Heart Grass, its movements both swift and silent.

As the fierce battle raged, the Demon Claw Wolf finally realized what was happening.

The young human girl in front of it was not here to fight it to the death at all.

From beginning to end, she had only been stalling it. Her true target was the Quiet Heart Grass it had guarded for hundreds of years.

A massive sense of being deceived drove it to the absolute peak of fury. It threw its head back and let out a furious howl that shook the entire valley.

It turned, intending to rush toward the herb field to tear that grass-stealing miasma beast to pieces.

But Ye Ling's figure flickered, blocking its path. She held her ground firmly, refusing to yield even an inch.

Rage turned the Demon Claw Wolf's eyes blood-red, but it also knew in its heart that it could not shake off this troublesome human in a short amount of time.

It could only watch helplessly as the spiritual herbs it had guarded for over a century were swallowed up one by one by that detestable little thief.

A moment later, the entire patch of Quiet Heart Grass was cleared completely.

The demon frog gave Ye Ling a gesture from afar to signal its success, then activated Void Evasion and vanished from the battlefield.

The last trace of concern in Ye Ling's heart dissolved. While they were fighting earlier, she had been constantly distracted, keeping an eye on the demon frog's safety, which meant she could only exert eighty percent of her strength.

Now that she had no more worries, she could finally fight with everything she had.

After several head-on clashes just now, her body had been sliced with numerous cuts of varying depths by the Demon Claw Wolf's claws.

The Demon Claw Wolf's left front paw had also been split open by her sword, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone, with dark purple blood spilling onto the ground.

Fortunately, she practiced the True Dragon Unfettered Art. The continuous nourishment of the True Dragon aura within her body was slowly healing her wounds.

Seeing that the spiritual herbs it had treasured for hundreds of years were all gone, the Demon Claw Wolf went completely mad.

It poured all of its demonic aura and rage onto Ye Ling, adopting a stance of refusing to rest until she was dead.

The human and the beast clashed frantically once more, both of them pushed to their absolute limits.

During a head-on deadlock, Ye Ling used the Qinglan Sword to firmly block the Demon Claw Wolf's sharp claws, neither side giving an inch.

However, the Demon Claw Wolf was extremely cunning. Its thick tail suddenly whipped around from behind Ye Ling in a tricky angle.

Unable to dodge in time, Ye Ling was struck squarely by the tail.

With a loud crash, she was smashed into the ground, violently creating a deep crater as dust and shattered stones flew in all directions.

Giving her absolutely no room to breathe, the Demon Claw Wolf's massive body dove downward, its sharp claws thrusting straight toward Ye Ling at the bottom of the pit.

Ye Ling was not seriously injured, but she looked rather disheveled.

She had still underestimated a peak Xiantian Realm demon beast's ultimate control over every part of its body.

Seeing the sharp claws tearing through the air toward her, she forcefully stabilized her blood and qi, raised her sword to resist, and firmly blocked the wolf's claws with her blade.

As the colossal force crashed down, the ground beneath her feet collapsed layer by layer, and ripples of shockwaves spread outward in concentric circles.

The boundless force surged through the sword blade and poured into her limbs and bones. Ye Ling felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The combat power of a Xiantian Realm demon beast was already stronger than a human of the same rank, not to mention that the one before her was an old veteran peak Xiantian Realm demon beast with one foot already in the Tongxuan Realm.
