Although Murong Liuhe didn’t say it out loud, he couldn’t help feeling a little desperate in his heart.
Just as Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian were both at their wit’s end, they suddenly noticed something unusual about the wolf pack’s movements. At some unknown time, an extra person had appeared among the wolves. Wasn’t this person none other than the familiar Yang Chen?
“It’s Yang Chen.”
“How did Yang Chen appear here?”
When Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian were surprised, sudden joy sprouted in their hearts.
They both knew about Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation. Appearing here now…
“Yang Chen’s target is the Wolf King!” Murong Liuhe exclaimed with joy, “He wants to kill the Wolf King! Brother Feng, we have hope.”
Feng Xiaotian was also overjoyed, “Although we cannot help Brother Yang Chen directly, we must distract these smaller wolves so Yang Chen can focus on dealing with the Wolf King!”
“That’s a great plan.” Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian quickly agreed and went into action, immediately swinging their weapons and regaining their spirits.
Yang Chen had indeed chosen to act quietly.
He sneaked to the rear of the wolf pack and launched an attack directly at them.
At first, he intended to kill the Wolf King with a single shot, but who knew that the Wolf King was so cautious, hiding behind the wolf pack, and even having a few Demon Wolves protecting him. This made Yang Chen’s sneak attack only kill a few insignificant Demon Wolves, while the Wolf King remained unharmed.
However, since he had chosen to act, Yang Chen naturally didn’t have a reason to give up.
“Demon Wolves are cunning by nature, it seems. But do you think that hiding behind them means I can’t do anything to you?” Yang Chen shouted angrily.
The Wolf King revealed human-like eyes, staring at Yang Chen with blood-red eyes while grinding his claws, as if ready to strike at any moment.
Yang Chen snorted coldly, the long spear in his hand darting out to follow, instantly killing another Demon Wolf.
His spear shots were extremely fast; after each shot, a Demon Wolf would meet its demise.
In the blink of an eye, all the Demon Wolves protecting the Wolf King were killed by Yang Chen. The next moment, Yang Chen shifted his focus to the Wolf King.
Yang Chen spoke slowly, “Now, you have nowhere to hide.”
“Awooo!” The Wolf King raised its head and howled.
This made Yang Chen snort coldly, “You still want the other wolves to protect you. You’re really too timid. Useless, just die.”
Yang Chen shouted angrily, and the next moment, his silver spear shot straight at the Wolf King.
Scratching the ground with his claws, the Wolf King seemed to have been angered by Yang Chen, and lunged at him in an instant, baring his fierce fangs, intending to bite through Yang Chen’s throat.
“Quite fast.” Seeing this, Yang Chen quickly withdrew his silver spear, tilted his head, and evaded the Wolf King’s attack.
Indeed, the Wolf King was very clever. He even knew how to avoid his silver spear and then directly target his vital parts.
Unfortunately, demonic beasts are just that—beasts. How could the Wolf King realize the advantage of his silver spear?
Standing within the range of his silver spear was the real crisis for the Wolf King.
Yang Chen didn’t intend to give the Wolf King any chance.
“Twin Shadows Like Dragons! ” Yang Chen shouted.
The two spear points moved in different directions, which clearly stunned the Wolf King for a moment.
The next moment, when Yang Chen looked again, he couldn’t find the Wolf King’s shadow anywhere. “Eh!” Yang Chen squinted his eyes slightly. “This Wolf King is so fast.”
It really was beyond his expectations.
This Wolf King was indeed very smart and cautious, not opting for a head-on confrontation after witnessing his extraordinary Twin Shadows Like Dragons move. By choosing to retreat and relying on its speed, the Wolf King had made it difficult for him to catch up.
“Yang Chen, focus on the Wolf King, and leave these lesser wolves to us,” Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian shouted in unison.
Yang Chen nodded, paying full attention to the Wolf King.
The Wolf King scraped its claws on the ground and charged menacingly at Yang Chen after another howl.
“I see, this demon wolf is a Spectral Wolf known for its speed. But aren’t
Spectral Wolves known to hunt only during the night? This is still daytime.” Yang Chen squinted his eyes, but as he figured out the species of the demon wolf, he began forming a strategy.
Just as he had anticipated, the Spectral Wolf King opened its claws and pounced at Yang Chen.
It was smart enough to avoid Yang Chen’s Silver Spear.
“Heh, you think I have nothing else besides my Spear Technique to deal with you?” Yang Chen spoke as he suddenly waved his hand, unleashing the mysterious power of the Cloud -Pulling Fist.
With a combination of hard and soft power in his palm, Yang Chen violently struck, instantly dispersing the energy directly onto the Spectral Wolf King’s abdomen.
“Awoo!” The Spectral Wolf King let out a miserable howl as it was sent flying by Yang Chen’s punch.
At this moment, Yang Chen seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and stabbed his spear into the Spectral Wolf King’s body before it could hit the ground. Blood splattered as the silver spear pierced through its body, killing the Spectral Wolf King on the spot.
Yang Chen raised the corpse of the Spectral Wolf King high up. The next moment, the ordinary Spectral Wolves, upon seeing this scene, scattered and fled in all directions, as if they had lost their backbone.
Seeing the direction these Spectral Wolves had fled, Yang Chen frowned: “These Spectral Wolves are inherently cunning and clever. Not only is their appearance during the day unusual, but even their escape route seemed peculiar. Escaping into the valley ahead would be more logical, but these wolves fled towards the open space.”
As he wondered, Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian also came forward to express their gratitude: “Brother Yang Chen, we are truly grateful for your help. If it weren’t for you, the two of us wouldn’t know how to deal with these beasts.”
“Ha ha, don’t worry about it. But aren’t these demon wolves supposed to appear only at night? It shouldn’t make sense for you two to be surrounded by them,” said Yang Chen curiously.
Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian exchanged glances before speaking bitterly:
“It’s a long story. Someone among the thirty geniuses has already died.” “Dead?” Yang Chen squinted his eyes. “What happened?”
“The injuries indicate it was caused by a person. We haven’t seen the actual situation yet, but I suspect it’s either the demonic beasts or members of the Horse-Thief Gang who have started to take action,” said Murong Liuhe gritting his teeth. “Those people from the Horse-Thief Gang have never shown any mercy to the geniuses of our Great Wild Hundred Clans. That’s why Brother
Feng and I decided to join forces, at least when there are more people, we have someone to help.
“I see, but what about these Spectral Wolves?” Yang Chen was still puzzled.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head: “We are both quite baffled by this. We were just discussing before entering the valley, but as soon as we went in, we ran into these Spectral Wolves. They surrounded us. We fought for our lives to escape the valley, but we still couldn’t get away. Luckily, we met Brother Yang Chen, otherwise, we really wouldn’t know what to do.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s a trivial matter,” Yang Chen replied, his curiosity piqued by the valley.
“I’m afraid the valley might be where these demon wolves gather. We accidentally stumbled upon it. In any case, we don’t dare to explore anymore. Yang Chen, the Horse-Thief Gang is rampant, clearly with murderous intent. How about joining us?” Feng Xiaotian extended a sincere invitation.
He was well aware of Yang Chen’s strength. If he could win over an expert like Yang Chen, their chances of survival during their journey to Monster Beast Mountain would greatly increase.
However, Yang Chen clearly didn’t have this intention. He tactfully declined: “There’s no need for that. I’m used to being alone. Besides, my clan specifically requested that I collect certain resources. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you two on your journey.”
“That’s a real pity,” Feng Xiaotian sighed, slightly disappointed. However, he still cupped his hands in a farewell gesture: “In that case, we will take our leave.”
“Yang Chen, take care,” Murong Liuhe also bid his farewell with a gesture.
Watching the two leave, Yang Chen’s curiosity towards the valley grew: “This is truly a strange matter. If that valley really is the gathering place for the Spectral Wolves, the ones that just escaped should have fled towards the valley, not in the opposite direction. There must be more to this valley than meets the eye.”
