Chapter 11: Jing Yan, Ecstatic
The instant the glistening black sword struck the green shadow, Jing Yan shifted his body one meter to the left.
Jing Yan's movements, both the sword strike and the sudden dodge, happened with an unfathomable speed that could only have come from precognition.
The sound of the longsword stabbing through its target resounded around him.
The Shadow Gale Wolf screamed.
Blood splashed as the Shadow Gale Wolf's poisonous claws whistled right past Jing Yan's chest. The creature's attack had come extremely close to landing.
The Shadow Gale Wolf was unbelievably fast. If it hadn't been for Jing Yan's ability of prediction that allowed him to be prepared ahead of time, Jing Yan would have gotten injured instead of the Shadow Gale Wolf.
Jing Yan took a deep breath as his blade connected with the Shadow Gale Wolf. He slightly shook his head before he dashed forward.
Although anticipating the creature's movements had allowed him to land a blow, his Vital Qi wasn't strong enough to bring down the Shadow Gale Wolf in one hit.
"If I were at the Fifth Heaven Rank, that one hit of my sword would have immobilized the Shadow Gale Wolf."
"You want to run?"
Jing Yan stretched his lips into a smile. At that point, there was no way he would let the Shadow Gale Wolf go. He dashed forward to attack again.
The first strike had hit one of the Shadow Gale Wolf's rear legs.
