Chapter 140 - 131: Subduing the Wind Wolf King
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
In the blink of an eye, Nie Yun and the Wind Wolf King had already clashed over a dozen times. Man and wolf were both as fast as lightning. To those at the Armor Realm, it looked like two shadows flickering in the air; as for how they fought or what moves they used, it was impossible to see clearly!
Even Tie Long, an Early-Stage Qi Sect expert, often found that by the time he finished pondering the reason behind one of Nie Yun’s spear thrusts, the man and beast had already exchanged several more blows!
’Such power... It’s a good thing this Yangg Yun isn’t our enemy. If he were, he could probably pierce my throat in a single move...’
The more Tie Long watched, the more his heart pounded with fear. He felt the youth before him was unfathomably terrifying!
"BLECH..."
Tie Lan, the weakest in the group, was so overwhelmed by the sight of the lightning-fast man and beast that she couldn’t help but vomit.
Afterward, a bitter smile touched her lips.
’I kept calling him useless, but his movements are so fast they make me sick just by watching. The difference between us is like the heavens and the earth!’
’No wonder he didn’t care about my mockery. It probably wasn’t because he was interested in me and was just being tolerant... It was because he felt nothing but contempt!’
’Why would someone who can fight a Peak of Qi Sect Demon Beast to a standstill care about some girl in the Body Emergence Realm?’
’This thing is too fast, and its Defense is practically invincible,’ Nie Yun thought. ’If this keeps up, my strength will dwindle, and I’ll lose all the same!’
’The Wind Wolf King creates a sky full of afterimages with the slightest movement. If I weren’t a Tracking Master and hadn’t infused it with Tracking Qi to pinpoint its location at all times, I would have been seriously injured by now!’
SHRED!
Just as Nie Yun was lost in thought, the Wind Wolf King’s front claw slashed down at his chest. With a sharp tearing sound, it ripped a long gash in his clothes.
"Get back!"
With his clothes torn, Nie Yun couldn’t bring his spear around in time. Instead, he hammered forward with his right fist.
Like a clap of thunder, the punch carried the full might of his physical strength and True Qi Power. With a WHOOSH, it crossed the distance and arrived right before the Wind Wolf King.
VMMMM!
Just when it seemed the Wolf King couldn’t dodge, a powerful whirlwind abruptly materialized around it. Aided by the gale, the snow-white Wolf King evaded the fist as if using Instant Teleportation and slammed a claw into Nie Yun’s shoulder!
SPURT!
Blood sprayed as Nie Yun was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground!
’Wind? The Wind Wolf King can use Wind Momentum after reaching the Qi Sect Realm? This is bad...’
Watching from within the valley, Tie Long’s expression changed drastically.
A Qi Sect expert was a First Generation Grandmaster. When a human reached this level, their body would undergo incredible transformations. For example, with the Eye of Nature, they could perceive any scene within ten li as if it were right before their eyes. With the Ear of Nature, they could hear any sound within a ten-li radius, achieving truly transcendent hearing.
If humans gained such abilities upon reaching the Qi Sect Realm, then it went without saying for Demon Beasts!
The "Wind" in Wind Wolf King meant that once it reached the Qi Sect Realm, it could harness Wind Momentum, causing its speed to skyrocket even further!
’Yangg Yun was already struggling to hold on even before it used Wind Momentum. Now that it has, how can he possibly be a match for it?’
’So fast!’
By circulating the Healing Qi within him, the wound on his shoulder healed instantly. Nie Yun stood on a rock, his expression grave as he watched the Wind Wolf King.
’As expected of the Wind Wolf King. Its speed is truly terrifying!’
’Before, I was only able to fight it to a draw by relying on my two lifetimes of combat experience and the subtleties of my Tracking Qi. Now, it seems that once it uses its Wind Momentum, I won’t even be able to catch its shadow!’
’And if I can’t even catch its shadow, how am I supposed to fight it?’
"Away!"
With a flip of his wrist, he stored the spear in his hand into his Storage Dantian.
’The Wind Wolf King is getting faster and faster, and it excels at close-quarters combat. This spear is too long; it’s more of a hindrance than a help now. I’ll be faster bare-handed!’
AWOOOO!
After its successful strike, the Wind Wolf King landed on all fours. It stared coldly at Nie Yun, seemingly shocked by the youth before it.
’With its power, it could naturally tell that the youth before it had not actually reached the Qi Sect Realm. For someone not yet at the Qi Sect Realm to force it to use its Wind Momentum... his potential could only be described as terrifying!’
"Have a taste of my fists!"
He stomped hard, the recoil instantly shattering the rock beneath his foot into dust. Nie Yun transformed into a bolt of lightning and lunged toward the Wind Wolf King.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
In close combat, Nie Yun’s smaller body made him far more agile than the Wind Wolf King. Furthermore, with his Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique at Second-Layer Great Success, his hands, elbows, legs, knees, and even his head all became weapons. His all-out assault actually began to restrict the Wind Wolf King’s speed.
In the blink of an eye, man and beast exchanged another hundred blows. Both sides sustained damage, but overall, Nie Yun’s injuries were more severe. However, he possessed the Healing Dantian. Even with a broken leg, it would only take a moment for him to be back in perfect condition, growing ever fiercer as the battle raged on!
’The longer the Wind Wolf King fought, the more frustrated it became. Logically, after taking so many of its ferocious attacks, even a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Sect Realm should have been disemboweled and dead on the spot. So how was this youth completely fine?’
As the fight dragged on, the thought of retreat began to form in its mind.
’A perfect chance!’
Nie Yun’s mind raced. He fiercely activated his Beast Taming Dantian, and an overwhelming wave of Beast Taming Qi instantly crashed down.
’Beast Taming Qi has a suppressive effect on Demon Beasts. I didn’t use it earlier because I was afraid it would fail to subdue the wolf and instead trigger its innate pride, provoking it into a fight to the death! If that happened, I might have actually died here!’
’But now that the Wind Wolf King is thinking of retreating, it means it’s afraid. And once it’s afraid, unleashing the pressure of my Beast Taming Qi will completely shatter its will!’
When it came to combat strategy, Nie Yun was a true veteran; he had calculated this very outcome before the fight even started!
RUMBLE!
Just as he’d predicted, as the Beast Taming Qi erupted, panic flashed in the Wind Wolf King’s eyes. Its speed, once in perfect harmony with the wind, suddenly faltered.
’Now is the time!’
Seeing the dazed look in its eyes, Nie Yun laughed aloud, his body suddenly accelerating as he pounced ferociously.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
A flurry of punches and kicks rained down. Arms, palms, fists, feet... Nie Yun used every part of his body as a weapon, holding nothing back. The Wind Wolf King, still reeling from the shock of the Beast Taming Qi, took more than a hundred of Nie Yun’s attacks on its massive body!
Without using True Qi, a single punch from Nie Yun held one Elephant Power. When combined with True Qi, his strength reached as much as four Elephant Power. After more than a hundred of these blows, even with the Wind Wolf King’s tough body, it was now like a pile of mud, unable to stand.
"What are you waiting for? Become my Demon Pet, now!"
The Beast Taming Qi in his palm surged, instantly and completely enveloping the Wind Wolf King.
A moment later, the Noble Wind Wolf King lowered its head. A voice resounded, "Master!"
