Chapter 194 - Killing The Wolf King



Chapter 194 Killing The Wolf King

On the big tree, He Liangce twitched his mouth. Even he became interested after he witnessed Ou Yangming’s strength during the fight against the wolf pack.

He Liangce was confident he could do better if he only had to maintain the battlefront and kill the giant wolves. At the very least, if He Liangce was determined to kill, more than ten giant wolves would die.

Nonetheless, if one were to remain in a powerful state without losing the slightest combat power even after an hour of fierce battle…

He Liangce’s face twitched once more.

‘Is this young fella still human? ‘No. He’s a human, and he’s a top-notch genius in a certain aspect among humans. Most importantly, a genius like him will be useful in that fight!

‘I mustn’t let him die. Even if he dies, he can only die after that fight.’

This was the first thing He Liangce thought after he was in awe.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming shifted his feet, and his step technique was becoming more powerful. Each time he swung his military saber, there was a drizzle of blood. Ou Yangming’s consciousness had long become one with his surroundings, and he also entered the thoroughly meticulous state.

With every step taken, he stepped on empty spots where he could not be bitten or hurt by the wolves.

Although there were plenty of wolves in the pack, they tended to clash with each other due to their huge physiques, hence they definitely could not fill up the empty spots. As Ou Yangming drifted, according to the way the wolves’ advanced and retreated, he had countless landing points to choose from.

Additionally, Ou Yangming’s seemingly casual attacks were incredibly wonderful. As long as he made a move, he was rewarded.

A flash of saber light was seen cutting a giant wolf’s body. It was at that instant the Devouring attributes in the saber’s blade were unleashed, and they naturally absorbed energy from the wolf’s flesh and blood.

If the military saber stayed in the wolf’s body for a long time, the other people would quickly notice the abnormality.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming controlled his saber such that he withdrew it right after he slashed the wolves, thus there was a limited amount of energy that could be absorbed. Even then, the limited energy was sufficient to support Ou Yangming as he continued fighting tirelessly.

As compared to before the fight, not only was Ou Yangming’s Qi and blood not consumed at all, but they became more abundant.

Instead of saying the giant wolves on the ground were killed, they were actually tortured to death because energy from their flesh and blood was absorbed, causing their body to be exhausted and suffer excessive bleeding.

Moreover, even though the giant wolves that initiated attacks earlier were stimulated by the smell of blood, the look of fear could be seen in the depths of their eyes.

It was notable that giant wolves’ endurance was ranked top five among large-sized creatures in the dense forest, so a fight of this level was not worth mentioning for them. In fact, they would not hesitate to pursue their prey for three days and three nights until they succeeded.

Despite that, the injured giant wolves had already begun to gasp for breath, and their physical fitness was declining at an outrageous speed. This was the biggest reason they developed a fear for Ou Yangming. Ou Yangming suddenly whistled out loud. His whistle spread far and wide while it carried an invisible and majestic aura.

He stood proudly with both feet on the ground and held his saber horizontally.

Even the giant wolves around him hesitated to press forward at that moment.

On the tree, Ni Yinghong’s eyes were bright, and she was deeply fascinated.

‘A good brave man like him is the kind of man that’ll move a lady’s heart.’

At the spur of the moment, an irritable roar was heard coming from the wolf pack.

Once the roar was heard, the wolves that flinched just now underwent a huge change. They craned their necks and howled in high spirits too.

Following that, they charged again. That said, they were different this time because other than attacking Ou Yangming, some of the giant wolves went to the side of the big tree and stuck their sharp claws into the bark to begin climbing Ou Yangming’s face changed. He shifted his feet faster and sped up his attacks with the saber.

With the endless compensation from the wolves’ flesh and blood, Ou Yangming did not mind having his Qi and blood consumed. However, the tree was too big, after all, and as he said before, some of the giant wolves would slip through even if he did his best.

“Oh no! They’re going to give it their all!” He Liangce’s face took on a grim expression. After looking far ahead, he said coldly, “Younger sister, there’s a wolf king that leads this wolf pack, so the king must be slaughtered to end this misfortune.”

Ni Yinghong nodded. She was not a wealthy family’s young lady who had never gone outside to see the world, so she understood the principle very well. Nonetheless, killing a wolf king in a wolf pack was not something that could be accomplished by anyone.

“Young Sister, go as high as you can. Though the giant wolves can climb the tree, they’re limited by their physiques. Besides, Brother Ou is already stopping them, so there won’t be too many of them coming up here,” He Liangce added.

“Are you going to kill the wolf king? Th-that’s too dangerous.” Ni Yinghong was stunned.

“It’s just a wolf king, so it’s not considered dangerous.” He Liangce chuckled.

Ni Yinghong’s face changed several times, then she looked down at Ou Yangming, who was resisting endless attacks from the wolf pack. At last, she nodded and said, “Elder Brother, please take this sword with you.”

It was difficult to resist a wolf pack, but it was unquestionably tougher to sneak an attack on the wolf king.

While Ni Yinghong was reluctant to let go of her longsword, she would not let them down during the crucial moment.

Despite that, He Liangce smiled proudly and responded, “Brother Ou gave you this weapon for you to protect yourself—I don’t need it.” Subsequently, he fluttered down.

By tapping the tip of his toe on the nose tip of a giant wolf that was climbing up the tree, He Liangce borrowed force to fly up to another big tree. He flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Below the big tree, Ou Yangming was still borrowing power to stop the wolf pack, but he was still observant and alert.

When he suddenly noticed He Liangce going far away, his heart could not help but sink.

‘Has that fella actually escaped? But it’s different from his usual style.’

A giant wolf was falling above Ou Yangming’s head at that instant, and it happened to be the one that was stepped on by He Liangce.

Tears and mucus were flowing down the wolf’s face, and it moved its limbs crazily in the air but failed to grab anything. As such, it just fell.

Ou Yangming dodged the giant wolf nimbly and slashed it with his saber, leaving a roughly 16-centimeter-long cut on its underbelly. Next, he flew backward to arrive below the big tree.

By tipping his toes a little, he jumped up the tree.

Ni Yinghong was standing on a huge branch. When she was faced with a giant wolf, whose eyes were green and fierce, she quickly calmed down. She stared at the giant wolf without fear, and she was so calm that her emotions did not fluctuate at all.

Just as the wolf reached out its claws to grab the tree and widened its greedy mouth to bite Ni Yinghong, she smirked disdainfully.

A sword-light was suddenly seen in the air, and it instantly lit up Heaven and Earth like a strike of lightning in a pitch-black sky.

In front of Ni Yinghong, the giant wolf’s head was already detached from its body, and its eyes were still opened wide as though it did not know how it died. Ni Yinghong glared hatefully at it with her hazel eyes and while holding the magic longsword. “If I don’t teach you brutes a lesson, you’re really going to think I’m a pushover!”

Ou Yangming, who was scaling the tree halfway, paused and almost fell from failing to hold his breath.

Being too concerned would cause a disorder. It turned out that the gentle and adorable Ni Yinghong in his eyes was not a weak lady with little strength.

She was a tigress who was equipped with pieces of equipment at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five and a magic longsword, which were all carefully smithed by him.

If they were attacked by more than a hundred giant wolves in an open area, it would be hard for Ni Yinghong to escape the disaster even if she had a divine sword. However, since Ou Yangming was stopping most of the wolves below the tree, there were only very few that could climb up the tree. In that case, any giant wolf that climbed up was like a free meal for her.

With a change of mind, Ou Yangming turned in mid-air and went back down. Saber-lights flashed in his hand again, followed by a rain of blood.

If the two of them were on the tree, they would have little space to turn and shift around. Therefore, it would be better for him to guard the big circle below the tree and occasionally let two giant wolves up to seek their deaths.

Although He Liangce fled, Ou Yangming was still confident about Ni Yinghong.

“Lil’ Ming, hold on!” Ni Yinghong’s voice was heard all of a sudden. “We’ll be out of this trouble in a while.”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and replied to her loudly, “Okay!”

His mind was composed, his footsteps were swift, and he attacked with his saber at the speed of light. That being said, he immediately guessed that He Liangce had left to fight the wolf king. Giant wolves normally traveled alone in the dense forest because each one of them was proud. Ou Yangming figured that the wolf king was certainly not an easy opponent given that it wanted to subdue its own kind. He even suspected if the king had advanced into a half-spirit beast.

If that was not the case, how could a mere wolf king control this amount of wolves in a wolf pack?

Since Ou Yangming could figure it out, it only made sense that He Liangce did too, but the young master still went to fight the king. Regardless of He Liangce’s intention, it was an admirable act.

That being said, Ou Yangming’s face darkened. ‘Isn’t He Liangce doing this to show me that he’s not going to give up? If he doesn’t stop pursuing Elder Sister Ying, I’ll only be ill at ease.’

After 15 minutes, an exceptionally shrill roar was heard from afar.

The wolves that were attacking Ou Yangming halted at once. They stopped attacking, and their heads began to shake.

Ou Yangming was moved. He took a deep breath and yelled without warning.

Afterward, he dashed to the front of a giant wolf and mustered all his energy to slash with his saber.

The wolf’s head flew high into the sky, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

As though they were stimulated, the remaining giant wolves ran away. Ou Yangming’s armor was covered in blood, and he carried a threatening killing intent.

He turned around abruptly and looked far away.

A figure walked slowly in the forest. He kept a plain smile on his face, and his upper garment was neither stained with blood nor wrinkled.

When they exchanged glances in mid-air, their eyes were as bright as the stars, and they were unwilling to give way to the other.
