Chapter 81: Beat To Death
Although Bai Yun’s archery was not as good as Su Yan’s, under the enhancement of True Essence nurtured in the Spirit Nurturing Realm that could leave the body, every arrow seemed like lightning.
She continuously shot out several arrows, and the charging Gray Thorn Wolves were pierced through their bodies, immediately sent flying backward and killed on the spot.
Even the one that charged the fastest among them, a late First-order Gray Thorn Wolf, could not avoid this attack.
The arrow pierced through its skull, and it crashed to the ground convulsing.
The Wolf King let out a roar, its Demonic Essence surging, destroying the incoming arrow and exploding it in mid-air.
Bai Yun saw this and pulled back the distance, firing three arrows in rapid succession.
The Wolf King’s claws charged forward, dodging left and right, evading all of these attacks.
At this point, it was furious to the extreme, only wanting to kill the reckless human before it, tear her flesh and blood to pieces, and feed it all to its wolf cubs.
Bai Yun’s eyes flickered, then she turned and leaped away, like a white deer traversing in the forest.
Her task was to lure away the Wolf King, and now that she had ignited its fury, there was no need to continue attacking.
One chasing and one fleeing, at extreme speed, even dragging many Gray Thorn Wolves along for one or two li.
Until the Wolf King realized something was wrong and stopped its pursuit.
Bai Yun’s eyes turned cold, then she spun around to attack, a faint phantom appearing behind her. The White Ape aura merged with her fist technique, unleashing Old Ape Strikes the Crown toward the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was enraged and, unable to break free, bit toward her with its bloody maw.
One person and one wolf fought together, their moves clashing and destroying the surrounding trees and shrubs together, with tremendous power.
Bai Yun’s White Ape Phantom was not True Intent, merely aura condensed and enhancing her moves, without the substantial power of Beast Spirit True Intent that could shatter gold and split stone with every move.
But even so, the aura like that of a Fierce Ape pressed down, still forcing the pack of Gray Thorn Wolves not to approach, with only the Wolf King having some ability to contend.
Su Yan saw that many of the Wolf Pack in the mountain valley had chased out, and his aura gradually condensed.
Suddenly, an enraged wolf howl came from the distant forest. Su Yan’s muscles tensed all over, power erupted, and his figure pounced toward the innermost wolf den like a bolt of lightning.
His goal was not to kill Gray Thorn Wolves, but the wolf cubs.
The suddenly appearing Su Yan exceeded the leader Gray Thorn Wolf’s expectations. By the time it reacted, Su Yan had already landed in front of the wolf nest.
The wolf cubs were completely unaware of the danger, still emitting crisp roars.
Su Yan reached out and grabbed, seizing three wolf cubs in one handful and stuffing them into the cloth bag he carried.
At this moment, the leader Gray Thorn Wolf also discovered his intent and charged straight at him, its bloody maw wanting to keep him there.
Su Yan had already succeeded and immediately revealed a smile.
Reacting only now was too late.
His eyes sharp, instead of fleeing first, he charged forward to meet it.
Fierce Ape Three Forms’ Sea Suppressing strike, surging Qi and Blood seemingly condensing into a Tiger Aspect White Ape, merging with the fist momentum and smashing onto the leader Gray Thorn Wolf’s head.
A cracking sound rang out, its hard wolf bones immediately shattered by this Iron Fist, blood bursting from its mouth and nose, body crashing to the ground.
Although Su Yan had not yet reached the Spirit Nurturing Realm and had not nurtured that strand of True Essence to manifest a Beast Spirit Phantom.
But the fist momentum and Artistic Conception he had accumulated were not useless.
Qi and Blood restrained inwardly, aura formed within, unable to manifest outwardly but with an inner form that anyone would say was a fine Fierce Ape.
Now that his Blood Moving was accomplished, Qi and Blood surged like dragons or pythons. How could the power of this strike be underestimated?
The leader Gray Thorn Wolf struggled to rise, now a heavily wounded body.
“Even a beast protects its young so fiercely, better than some people by a few degrees. I’ll send you on your way.”
Su Yan stepped forward, his hand like claws hooking, grabbing at the wolf’s neck.
Fingers like sharp blades, sinking three inches into the flesh.
One grab pulled out a section of spine, outright killing this Gray Thorn Wolf equivalent to the Blood Moving Realm.
“Awoo”
This Gray Thorn Wolf let out a howl before dying, its mournful cry echoing through the mountain valley, immediately drawing the attention of the Wolf King that had chased out.
Su Yan knew the purpose of this wolf howl, but his expression remained calm, just as he intended.
The Wolf Pack charged back, and the Wolf King fighting Bai Yun also panicked, attacking her madly, like a cornered beast trading injury for life.
Bai Yun’s figure was nimble, pulling back distance, moving like an ape in the trees, just circling the Wolf King to keep it from leaving, not fighting it to the death.
The Wolf King could only send countless subordinate Gray Thorn Wolves back to the valley for rescue. In an instant, dozens or hundreds of Gray Thorn Wolves rushed back into the mountain valley, straight toward Su Yan.
However, would Su Yan fear such a situation?
His Qi and Blood soared to the sky, invisible to ordinary eyes, but the inner form swirled and coiled left and right, like a Poisonous Flood Dragon, a Vicious Tiger, ever-changing and also like a Fierce Insect descending.
He charged into the Gray Thorn Wolf pack, killing with a pair of Iron Fists, like a demon star fallen from the heavens, fists smashing muscles and bones to pieces, hands tearing flesh and blood like a waterfall.
When Gray Thorn Wolves bit at him, he ignored them, just grabbing and swatting, killing the attacking Gray Thorn Wolves on the spot.
Jade Armor faintly appeared on his body, with Inner Armor protecting him. At this time, whether the Golden Ape Jade Body Skill or the Sole Dragon Golden Body Skill’s scale patterns had emerged.
His sturdy physical body was as indestructible as an iron pagoda.
Not to mention these early First-order and mid First-order Gray Thorn Wolves—even a Blood Moving Realm Gray Thorn Wolf just entering late First-order might not break his defense.
After Su Yan killed for a while, twenty or so wolf corpses littered the ground, blood staining it, the stench overpowering.
At this time, the Wolf Pack from outside the valley had rushed in. Su Yan looked up, feeling that his killing speed was too slow.
So with a wave of his hand, the Red Armored Mad Scorpion was summoned, and the White Bone Poison Centipede also charged out, slaughtering the incoming Wolf Pack, felling them in droves with blood flowing everywhere.
“Poisonous Flood Dragon and White Ape as Feral Beasts—how could they lack the word combat? Rising momentum through killing, let’s see how much Fierce Momentum I can accumulate in this slaughter.”
He fused Cultivation Manuals and Fist Techniques into this combat, every move not seeming like his own fighting.
Like a Poisonous Flood Dragon descending, Fierce Ape sweeping across—this ferocious aura exactly like the might of a Feral Beast.
The more the combat Cultivation Manuals were used, the more exquisite they became, and the more sufficient the aura’s nurturing.
If a Martial Arts expert watched, the originally formless Qi and Blood truly fused into the forms of Poisonous Flood Dragon and Fierce Ape.
And amid these changes, it seemed Poison Centipedes and Mad Scorpions were hidden within, adding a bit more ferocity.
After dozens more exchanges, the wolf pack grew larger, but the killed Gray Thorn Wolves piled into a small slope.
The Red Armored Mad Scorpion’s red hard armor made it nearly impervious to blades and spears amid the wolf pack. Even if solidly bitten by a Gray Thorn Wolf, it only left a few white marks.
Its claws swept horizontally, and with one scissor clip, the Gray Thorn Wolf was bisected, internal organs and blood surging out together, causing heavy casualties.
One mouthful of Poisonous Mist sprayed out, red as flames, burning the Gray Thorn Wolves’ skin and flesh corroded and charred.
The White Bone Poison Centipede weaved through the wolf pack, coordinating with the Red Armored Mad Scorpion. The White Bone Poison Centipede Nails appeared unpredictably, piercing wolf bodies every time they flashed past.
Its body was smaller, but its wolf-killing methods were sharp and eerie, with speed even faster.
Su Yan saw that the killing was about done, recalled the two Fierce Insects, and quickly headed toward Bai Yun’s location.
The Wolf Pack, having lost its leader, was now in chaos and did not dare pursue closely.
When Su Yan arrived, he saw Bai Yun closing in to the five-meter giant wolf, clenching her palm into a fist. The White Ape Phantom behind her seemed to solidify, fusing into her body and pouring into this fist.
A cracking sound rang out, the Wolf King’s head crushed, killed on the spot.
“The outer Wolf Pack is approaching; let’s go now.”
The two tacitly dragged the Wolf King’s corpse and quickly headed out of the forest.
