Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Fierce Battle with the Third Rank Wolf Demon
Translator: 549690339
Right when the beastly roar erupted, a massive black figure appeared like a gust of wind at the other end of the gate, its bloodthirsty gaze flickering as it looked at the three of them—Lu Yun.
It was a black wolf with blood-red eyes that twinkled with a murderous lust. Its gaping mouth revealed sharp teeth, and its powerful limbs crisscrossed, pounding the ground with a series of loud thuds.
Unlike the Demon Beasts that evolved from energy within the Myriad Phenomena Tower, this black wolf on the other side of the gate was a genuine Demon Beast. From a distance, one could feel its eyes shimmering, a sign of its hunger for food.
In its eyes, Lu Yun and his companions were undoubtedly delicious treats.
Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that virtually all Demon Beasts considered humans as food, an instinct that was imprinted deep within their blood, their bones, and even within their inheritance.
“Captain Wang, you mentioned earlier that the leader of the Black Wolf Gang had a psychic black wolf demon beast. Is this the one?” Lu Yun examined the black wolf and asked the Captain Wang beside him.
“I’m not sure, but if there are no accidents, it should be this one.” Captain Wang drew the saber from his back and raised his own state to its peak.
He could sense the powerful and dangerous aura emanating from the black wolf, and its soul-stirring gaze gave him an intense sense of trepidation.
“The unexpected has already happened. If I’m not mistaken, there isn’t a single survivor within the Black Wolf Gang.”
Xiao Chen placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, his gaze sweeping the chaotic scene inside the enclosure through the gaps in the fence.
Inside, it was a mess; from a distance, one could vaguely see several dismembered corpses and dried, stained blood scattered around.
All of this indicated that the Black Wolf Gang had suffered a major disaster, and not even a single living person was left behind.
The exact cause of this catastrophe was not something the trio needed to worry about.
“Roar!”
The black wolf demon let out an enraged howl. By now, there were already two deep trenches dug in front of it, and its claws had been worn to a sharp gleam.
At the same time, as it howled, a powerful aura spread out, kicking up a whirlwind of dust on the ground.
“This demon beast has already broken through its bottleneck and become a Third Rank demon beast. Be careful.”
Xiao Chen had barely finished speaking when the black wolf’s massive body suddenly shook with explosive speed, smashing the gate into pieces and charging forward with a fierce wind.
“Not good, it’s targeting me!”
Captain Wang was almost certain that the opponent’s target was him, as if it had identified him as the weakest among the three.
Demon Beasts’ senses were far sharper than humans’, and they were able to rely on their instincts to avoid certain hidden dangers.
Indeed, the black wolf demon’s perception of danger was accurate, as Captain Wang was much weaker than Lu Yun and Xiao Chen.
Of course, even Lu Yun and Xiao Chen did not pose much of a threat to it.
But it was not careless, choosing to break through the weakest link.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the gigantic body of the black wolf demon had charged in front of Captain Wang. The powerful impact directly knocked Captain Wang, who had been fully prepared for the defense, back more than ten meters.
“Puff!”
Captain Wang spat out a mouthful of blood, and the muscles in his arms and even the bones throughout his body trembled. His saber had been knocked away during the collision, and its whereabouts were unknown.
This was just the initial encounter. If Captain Wang were to truly face this black wolf demon, the outcome would be obvious.
Without the slightest hesitation, Captain Wang immediately called for help.
“Young Masters, please help me!”
Actually, even without Captain Wang’s plea for assistance, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen would not have stood idly by.
The reason they didn’t take action right away was because they hadn’t expected the Black Wolf Demon Beast to target Captain Wang.
But what just happened truly shocked them.
Captain Wang was in the late stages of the Meridian Passage Realm. However, he lost all ability to resist just by coming face-to-face with the Black Wolf Demon Beast.
Such an explosive power was truly breathtaking. Lu Yun and Xiao Chen didn’t dare to underestimate it and rushed to assist Captain Wang right away.
Roar!
The beast’s roar was like thunder in a flatland. The Black Wolf Demon Beast had already chosen Captain Wang as its breakthrough target, and the moment it blasted him away, it threw itself towards him with its enormous body.
“I’m done for!”
Seeing the ferocious eyes of the Black Wolf and its sharp claws and teeth gradually approaching, Captain Wang was scared out of his wits, his pupils dilating in fear.
Boom!
A loud, violent noise erupted as the Black Wolf’s huge body was knocked back several steps. Lu Yun, who had been the first to save Captain Wang, was also blasted far away, his arms holding the tiger-head broadsaber numb. A mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, but he managed to suppress it.
It must be known that Lu Yun’s physical body had broken through twice the limit, making him much stronger than martial artists of the same level. After entering the Meridian Passage Realm, he had undergone numerous True Qi refinements, making his body incredibly strong. Even so, he had almost been injured in the confrontation with the Black Wolf.
One could imagine how fortunate Captain Wang was to have not been killed earlier.
“Evil beast, die!”
Arriving slightly later, Xiao Chen’s sword light flickered as he slashed at the Black Wolf Demon Beast.
The powerful True Qi and sword Qi hit the Black Wolf, causing its enormous body to stagger back a few steps and leaving a shallow mark on it.
“So strong! Although this Black Wolf is just entering the Third Rank, its strength is much stronger than a martial artist in the early stages of the True Qi Realm!”
Xiao Chen shook his trembling right arm. At the same time, he infused even more powerful True Qi into his sword, making the blade emit sword Qi.
Roar!
After having its own attack blocked and then being sneak-attacked by a sword, the Black Wolf became furious. Its crimson eyes flashed with madness, and after a roar, it threw caution to the wind and pounced towards Xiao Chen.
Demon Beasts possessed wisdom that was not inferior to humans, but their rationality was far inferior to that of humans.
Once enraged, all previous rationality and tactics were thrown out the window.
“This Demon Beast is very strong; let’s fight it together!”
Lu Yun suppressed the blood that had surged up to his throat and also channeled his aggressive aura into the tiger-head broadsaber, which emitted a sharp blade Qi. He then fought fiercely alongside Xiao Chen against the Black Wolf.
After a fierce battle, the two of them were knocked back simultaneously by the Black Wolf’s huge body, both spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The Third Rank Demon Beast was indeed incredibly powerful. Its rock-hard defense alone had weakened Xiao Chen and Lu Yun’s attacks significantly.
Furthermore, it possessed ferocious, primal strength, making Lu Yun and Xiao Chen unable to do anything but attack—defense was simply impossible for them.
Moving a bit too slowly, the Black Wolf seized the opportunity to charge fiercely at the two of them, causing both to suffer injuries.
Roar!
The large Black Wolf roared angrily, its four thick hooves pounding the ground as it quickly approached Lu Yun and Xiao Chen.
A flash of sharp light appeared in Lu Yun’s eyes, followed by a low growl, “1’11 attack from the front while you, Xiao Chen, strike from behind.”
As soon as he spoke, Lu Yun leaped high into the air, channeling aggressive aura from his eight meridians into the tiger-head broadsaber. A meter-long saber Qi roared out..
