Ch 725: The Windfang Wolf Pack
As the saying goes, those skilled in attack move from the highest heavens, thus able to protect themselves and achieve complete victory.
Li Hanzhou stopped in place, using the Way of Thunder to control his flying sword. Between reality and illusion, he continuously launched attacks on the Black Robed Person.
“Not good!”
The Black Robed Person’s defense was already faltering. Facing the flying sword attacking from his side, he exhausted his moves and was forced to try blocking with his broadsword.
“Way of Wind, his ability to perceive attacks is quite good, but unfortunately, he’s already panicked…”
Li Hanzhou flipped his sword finger, the trajectory of the flying sword originally aimed at the Black Robed Person subtly changed, instantly passing by his side!
“That sword… you… planned it for a long time…”
The Black Robed Person covered his neck with his hand, wanting to say something more, but he could no longer make a sound.
The sound of a broadsword falling to the ground echoed, the Black Robed Person fell to the ground, lifeless.
Li Hanzhou reached out to catch the returning longsword, and without pausing, entered the next level.
At the same time, outside Nine Realms Mountain, the White-Clothed Scholar, who had already raised his Wine Gourd, put down his hand before he could drink.
“So fast, he cleared the Third Level?”
A look of surprise appeared on the White-Clothed Scholar’s face, unexpectedly, his previous guesses were all wrong:
“Although he spent more time on the Second Level, his physical exertion wasn’t significant, and it’s even possible that prolonged battle honed his Sword Intent even further.”
“Clearly, this young man’s battle thinking and mentality are both top-notch. Qin Luotian’s confidence in him isn’t unfounded.”
“However, many people have quickly passed the first three levels, but most of them stop at the Fourth Level!”
The Fourth Level is the crucial point, it determines the qualification for a Silver Medal Inspector of the Son of Heaven’s Mansion.
“The faster one is, the more difficult it is to face those hundred Wind Fang Wolves.”
The White-Clothed Scholar gently shook his Wine Gourd, making a bet with himself in his heart, whether he could become a Silver Medal Inspector.
Li Hanzhou himself never thought about becoming a Silver Medal Inspector.
Having passed three levels, he had already forgotten his initial purpose, focusing entirely on the crisis before him.
Death wouldn’t harm his essence, is there a better opportunity to hone himself than this?
The Fourth Level was still the previous Desolate Mountain scene, one hundred Fierce Beasts stood before Li Hanzhou.
Wind Fang Wolves!
Each one was the size of a water buffalo, long fangs protruding from their mouths, and their green fur seemed to always have wind swirling around them.
Unlike the Black Scale Lions on the Second Level, these giant wolves did not immediately attack Li Hanzhou, but quickly dispersed to surround him in the center.
“Their formation is neat and orderly, their Consciousness… should not be underestimated.”
Li Hanzhou did not wait for the wolf pack to complete their formation. He moved, like a silver snake flashing with lightning light, shuttling through the mountains, directly attacking the nearest Wind Fang Wolf!
“Aw!”
Wolf howls rang out, the wolf pack in Li Hanzhou’s area actually dispersed in an instant, fleeing towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Boom!
Li Hanzhou’s sword pierced empty air, thunder creating a large hole in the ground, the air filled with the smell of burning.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, streaks of green Wind Blades flew out, like dense sword rain, enveloping Li Hanzhou.
“These wolves can all attack from a distance!”
Li Hanzhou’s expression tightened, hurriedly moving away. The dense Wind Blades rained down, turning the place where he had been standing into a sieve.
“Aw!”
Wolf howls echoed, Li Hanzhou tried to escape to a distance, but the Wind Fang Wolves relentlessly pursued him, their Wind Blades attacking continuously!
“I can’t be suppressed like this…”
Li Hanzhou was alone, but there were a hundred Wind Fang Wolves, their movements as orderly as an army, cooperating seamlessly to encircle and attack him.
“No! My continuous evasion and escape only causes me to waste stamina, it’s useless against this dangerous situation.
Although the Wind Fang Wolves scatter and flee when I approach, their speed is slightly slower than mine, if I pursue a single one, it definitely cannot escape!”
“Let’s try killing one first.”
Li Hanzhou made his decision, and immediately acted on it.
Amidst the countless Wind Blades, a dazzling lightning light snaked through, a Wind Fang Wolf that couldn’t escape was instantly split in two.
“One down.”
Li Hanzhou was pleased, wanting to replicate his success, but he found that the nearby Wind Fang Wolves had all run away, only Wind Blades rustling towards him.
“Not right!”
“Although the Wind Fang Wolves’ defense is far inferior to the Black Scale Lions, I can kill them with a casual strike, but their experience in dealing with single targets is too rich. Killing them one by one like this, I might be exhausted before I finish them all.”
“Can’t rush it.”
Li Hanzhou’s mind raced, abandoning the idea of continuing the pursuit, he slowed his avoidance of the Wind Blades, carefully observing the wolf pack’s movements.
Soon, he saw a clue.
The wolf pack’s so-called orderly advance and retreat wasn’t due to their minds being connected, becoming a single entity.
A General commands his army with flags and drums, the wolf pack was no different.
“It’s… the wolf howls.”
Li Hanzhou slowed his pace, using his longsword to shatter several Wind Blades, deliberately changing his direction of movement.
Sure enough, before the wolf pack moved, there were always alternating wolf howls.
“The wolf that initially howled should be the leader…”
Li Hanzhou’s thoughts raced, his gaze sweeping across the wolf pack, his hearing reaching its limit.
In the next instant, Li Hanzhou, transformed into a lightning light, approached the wolf pack, a deliberately lowered wolf howl sounded.
“Found you!”
Li Hanzhou didn’t hesitate, facing the dense Wind Blades attacking him, he charged straight ahead!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Li Hanzhou no longer dodged, only using his longsword to deflect the Wind Blades in front of him. Inevitably, some Wind Blades still struck him, injuring less vital areas like his waist and shoulders.
“This little injury is worth it for your life!”
Li Hanzhou seemed to feel no pain, carrying an irresistible momentum, he charged directly towards the Wind Fang Wolf King.
For the first time, Li Hanzhou saw fear in the eyes of these Fierce Beasts.
The Wind Fang Wolf King didn’t dare face Li Hanzhou, turning to flee, at the same time, the Wind Fang Wolves near it rushed forward like madmen, desperately trying to stop Li Hanzhou from advancing.
Li Hanzhou had anticipated this scene.
“Go!”
Li Hanzhou threw his longsword, the thunder surrounding it like bright silver threads.
Waiting for the right moment, striking with lethal accuracy, this perfectly embodies the Way of Thunder!
Pfft!
The Wind Fang Wolf King hadn’t run far before being pierced through by the flying sword, dead beyond death.
“Aw!”
A mournful wolf howl rang out, the once orderly wolf pack instantly began to scatter.
“My turn.”
Li Hanzhou didn’t bother to chase, the flying sword under his control, drew deadly trajectories.
A Wind Fang Wolf gave up fleeing, spitting out a Wind Blade at Li Hanzhou. The green Wind Blade was shattered mid-air by the flying sword, and the intense lightning light instantly pierced its head.
“Without the leader’s command, they’re just like a defeated army.”
Li Hanzhou felt a dull ache in his several wounds, secretly grateful that he had cultivated the Sun Moon Demonic God Diagram, otherwise, he would have been seriously injured this time.
