The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 238's. The Library of Heaven's World

Within eight days of traveling through the valley and forest, the two finally reached the outer gate of the tower. It was written clearly three words made of red-colored paint "Library of the Sky World", seeing that, a brilliant smile appeared on Li Yuan's face.

"With this, we can crawl up, and defeat the other top four." murmured Li Yuan looked overjoyed and rushed wanting to enter.

Gofan did not understand what Li Yuan meant by the other four greats, but he pulled the arm of Li Yuan who was about to enter through the gate.

"What the hell, what else are we waiting for? Come on in.." not yet finished Li Yuan said, Gofan embraced him and closed Li Yuan's lips, whispering he said, "Stt... Shut up if you still want to live."

Li Yuan who was initially startled and thought Gofan was a perverted man suddenly realized there was a fishy scent from inside the gate.

Seeing Li Yuan nod, Gofan released him from his embrace, "There are five red wolves in the corner there, it seems like they are guarding the entrance into the tower, maybe they were ordered by someone, look.." point Gofan towards the pile of corpses gathered by the red wolves.

"The Bloodthirsty Wolf..!!" li Yuan said.

Li Yuan explained, "The Bloodthirsty Wolf is a descendant of the Red Moon Wolf, a celestial beast that had been wiped out in the era of the Gods warfare. It is said that they are a defective breed because they lack consciousness and act so barbarically, especially if they smell the scent of blood.. But that flawed derivative had long been annihilated by the Red Moon Wolf even before the war began."

That explained why the corpses looked dry without a single drop of blood remaining on their bodies.

"No matter if they have been wiped out or not, but now there are five of them there, it proves that someone has managed to breed and control them" Gofan told Li Yuan.

"I'll lure them, with our abilities now, if we both barge in, it'll be like giving up a life..." Li Yuan took out a small golden dagger and prepared to injure his hand, with the scent of blood from his wound he was intending to lure the Bloodthirsty Wolves.

Gofan held Li Yuan's hand holding the dagger, "Let me alone, my running ability is faster than you. I'll catch up as soon as I divert them." he said.

Without waiting, Gofan grabbed a small dagger and ran to the front of the gate, then he injured his palm.

The wolves stared hungry at Gofan, their attention distracted by the fresh scent of Gofan's blood.

"Haha... Want this.." Gofan showed his blood-stained palm towards the wolves, "Pursue me if you can." he shouted and rushed towards the forest.

Wauu...

Wauu...

While drooling, the wolves ran after Gofan.

***

Gofan ran as fast as he could, he jumped through the branches of a tall tree. His speed was quite high, making the wolf herd difficult to chase after him.

After arriving at a puddle of mud in front of the lake, Gofan immersed himself in the mud, making him look like a mud man..."Three days ago, I almost died by a strange creature in this lake..." Gofan picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, then he shouted, "Hey...Frog rotten, I'm coming again... Here come out eat me, Hahaha..."

Rooaarrr.

Three days earlier, Gofan and Li Yuan were almost killed by the giant Toad, when he was thirsty and about to drink the water in the lake. It was fortunate that Li Yuan responded and learned of the Toad's weakness.

Its name, the Frog of Rare Earth, is a celestial beast whose weakness lies in its sense of smell. He deeply hated the scent of the land, especially the mud that was around the lake, therefore, the giant Toad rarely came out from within the Lake. But even so he has a long tongue, similar to tendrils that can propagate, even can be hundreds of feet long.

When the Toad appeared Gofan went back into the mud. The wolves who had just arrived were shocked to see the appearance of the Rare Earth Toad. But the smell of blood from the mud made them ignore the appearance of the frog.

Wauuu.... The wolves roared and ran towards the mud.

Roaarr... While the overlooked Frog of the Rare Earth was furious, then took out its long and large tongue, in one go he swallowed the five wolves at once. Shuuut... Gluukk... Without further ado the five were swallowed alive.

Gofan stood up, the Rare Earth Toad staring at Gofan with anger and disdain. But he did nothing to Gofan, other than roar loudly before re-entering the lake.

"Thank you brother frog... With this, I won't take revenge for what you did before.." Byuurr.... The strong water spewed out from within the lake carrying with it the bones of the Bloodthirsty Wolves. Gofan was blown away by the pressure of the lake, "Hahaha... Thank you again my brother, you helped me clean up..." But soon after, Gofan immediately turned around and galloped away from the lake as far as possible. Realizing that he was clean from the mud, Gofan did not dare to linger near the lake.

As Gofan left, the frog's head emerged from within the lake and stared furiously at the place where Gofan disappeared.

***

Gofan needed four days of back and forth without a break to return again to the front of the gate of the Library of Heaven's World.

But when he arrived before the gate, he saw more people who were now in front of the entrance of the tower, seemingly unaware of Gofan's arrival.

There were now five other people standing with Li Yuan there. Two of them were a golden-robed young man with a large sword on their back, a veiled woman in a purple dress, and two other young men with green conical hats on their heads.

"Li Yuan, it's been four days and your partner hasn't returned so why insist on waiting for him?.." said a golden-robed young man.

"Right Princess, it's possible that person was also dead in.." added another young man who also wore a golden robe, but he stopped his speech when he saw Li Yuan's angry gaze.

"If you want to come in, just come in, why wait with me here, no one is forcing you to do it, right?" Li Yuan folded his hands and leaned himself beside the entrance of the Library of Heaven's World looking indifferent to the request of the two.

"Senior Li, we know, we are all competing for excellence, but now we have to unite to get this legacy, so why insist on waiting. After all, if seniors alone and without strength are not necessarily able to face anyone who has put the wolves, right?" said the girl in the purple dress.

"really. Once we defeat the man, we can divide that legacy between us fairly." added the green-hated young man.

But, before getting a response from Li Yuan, both glances of Li Yuan's eyes seemed to sparkle, and he rushed to run towards the gate... "Mo Fan!! you're back!!"

Seriate...
