Chapter 1838 - 1839: Swiftness of the Sword
It also never expected that this seemingly frail human kid could actually kill over twenty Blackwind Wolves.
Suddenly, the Blackwind Wolf King moved, pouncing fiercely towards Lin Chen,
"Awooo!"
The speed was as fast as lightning, stirring up a gust of wind. Lin Chen had to use his footwork to dangerously dodge to the left, brushing past the Blackwind Wolf, even catching a whiff of the wolf's stench.
The Blackwind Wolf King was indeed extraordinary!
Seeing its attack missed, the Blackwind Wolf King tried to strike again with its sharp claws. Time waits for no one; Lin Chen didn't want to give it a chance to attack. He mobilized a large amount of Yuan power from his exhausted body, swinging his arm forcefully,
"Heavenly Proliferation Swordsmanship, Sword Mastery!"
In an instant, five strands of dark golden Sword Qi, with an astonishing momentum, charged towards the Blackwind Wolf King!
But the Blackwind Wolf King showed no fear, baring its teeth and leaping towards the Sword Qi, swatting at it with its claws. Upon impact, the Sword Qi from the Tianyan Ancient Sword seemed to encounter something extremely hard and was shaken apart by the wolf king's claws!
Upon closer inspection, the wolf king had only sustained a bit of surface injury, with a faint red blood mark left on its claw.
The wolf king's physical body was surprisingly strong! The Heavenly Proliferation Swordsmanship, which could injure a regular Blackwind Wolf, could only hurt its skin! Lin Chen had truly met his match this time.
After the wolf king swatted away the Sword Qi, it ferociously swung at Lin Chen again. The two went back and forth for five or six rounds, and Lin Chen's expression turned extremely determined and serious. At this rate, Lin Chen was definitely not a match for the Blackwind Wolf King!
He fought while thinking: the wolf king's body was tough, causing extreme pain when it hit him, while he could only inflict minor wounds. Lin Chen's body was already exhausted from defeating over twenty wolves, and his Yuan power was nearly depleted.
Right, it's time to use the Formation from earlier!
Lin Chen's body flickered towards the Formation, intentionally leaving an opening. As expected, the foolish wolf king eagerly pounced, and just as the wolf's claw was about to hit Lin Chen, he happily turned quickly, forming a seal with his hands, and shouted:
"Tian Lei Formation, activate!"
The wolf king was stunned, feeling a sense of doom, but it had already triggered the Formation.
A purple lightning bolt, the size of a finger, crackled down from the sky and struck the wolf king's head, singeing a large patch of fur black.
Success! Lin Chen felt a bit of joy, although this Formation was something he learned in the lower realm, and its effectiveness against this world's beasts wasn't great, it could at least stall for a moment.
Angered by the lightning, the wolf king went berserk, charging at Lin Chen. At this moment, the Formation was fully activated, with a dark cloud overhead brewing more lightning.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
One after another, purple lightning bolts descended, striking the wolf king's head accurately each time. Smoke billowed from the wolf king's body.
"Tianyan Nine Techniques, Sword Break!"
This time, dense Sword Qi pierced towards the wolf king. The combination of Sword Qi and lightning caused patches of fur to fall and lines of blood to appear, leaving the wolf in a sorry state.
By this time, the wolf king was in chaos, never before being in such a sorry state. In desperation, it flailed around madly. As the saying goes, a wolf's head is as tough as iron and its midsection as frail as tofu, Lin Chen targeted its weak spot.
The wolf king, enraged and desperate, glared at Lin Chen from not far away, ignoring the Tian Lei assault pounding its body, recklessly charged at Lin Chen with its sharp claws gleaming coldly, capable of taking Lin Chen's life in an instant!
Noticing this, Lin Chen's expression turned grave. He exhaled lightly, then once again raised the Tianyan Ancient Sword, which returned to its original form, emanating a simple glow.
"Tianyan Nine Techniques! Sword Rush!"
By now, the wolf king's attack was close. Lin Chen had no room to retreat!
"It's all or nothing!"
Just as the wolf king's claw was about to slash his throat, Lin Chen used all his strength to suddenly sidestep, then with every ounce of his Yuan power, he stabbed viciously at the wolf king's midsection.
"Die for me!"
After the Tian Lei Formation's bombardment and Lin Chen's attack, the wolf king was somewhat disoriented, full of openings, allowing Lin Chen to evade its attack and launch a counterattack.
The third technique of the Tianyan Nine Techniques, Sword Rush, suddenly sped up Lin Chen's movements, doubling his previous speed. The Sword Qi, dark golden and highly compressed, finally formed a thread-like black-gold Sword Qi, adhered to the Tianyan Ancient Sword.
The Tianyan Ancient Sword was thrust viciously into the wolf king's body, piercing its hide. The wolf yelped in pain, thrashing wildly.
Lin Chen struggled to steady himself, continuing to push the Tianyan Ancient Sword deeper. Hot, foul-smelling blood splattered across his face. The wolf king, in great pain, flailed its claws, striking Lin Chen heavily and knocking him back. The severe pain caused him to spit a mouthful of essence blood.
Leaning on the sword, Lin Chen steadied himself, while the wolf king also suffered. Blood gushed from its wounds, losing all its strength, it fell to the ground in fury, glaring at this hateful human.
Seeing the wolf king exhausted and severely injured, Lin Chen gathered his strength and fiercely struck again at the wolf's heart. Once he confirmed the wolf king was lifeless, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, storing the corpse in his Storage Ring and collapsing to the ground in fatigue.
Lin Chen's body was utterly exhausted, as overexerting his Yuan power caused his meridians to throb with pain. Lying on the ground, his body automatically absorbed Yuan power from the surroundings to heal itself. The cultivation world was dangerous, and being alone with depleted Yuan power was risky. Lin Chen hoped no one would pass by.
Lin Chen didn't know how long he slept, but as his consciousness gradually returned, a girl's playful voice was heard not far away:
"Ah, brother, look, there's a person lying there!"
Lin Chen was aware someone had arrived, but though his mind was clear, his body couldn't move due to the severe injuries. Thus, he remained lying there like a corpse.
"Hehe, brother look, why is this person covered in blood?"
The newcomers were a pair of siblings, the speaker a young girl. She was about eighteen, wearing a light pink long dress that highlighted her curvy figure. Her hair was tied up, shiny and black, with a pale yellow flower pinned in it—a beautiful, vivacious young girl,
The girl, noticing her brother didn't respond, started to get annoyed, tugging at her brother's clothes heavily,
"Brother, are you listening to me seriously? Look, he's right there."
