Chapter 4: Battle against the demonic beast
The wolf lunged!
Langtian twisted desperately, every nerve in his body screaming, every muscle burning.
He ducked beneath the beast’s snapping jaws, feeling the scorching heat of its breath graze his cheek, its fangs mere inches from tearing through his throat.
Sliding under the monster’s hulking frame, he roared, dragging his sword in a savage arc across the exposed flesh of its belly.
This time, he poured most of his remaining spiritual energy into the blade.
"RAAAAGHHH!!"
SLASH!
A wet, tearing sound echoed out.
Black blood exploded from the beast’s stomach, hot and foul. It sprayed across Langtian’s face, soaking into his chest.
He dropped to one knee, gasping, struggling to breathe.
His vision blurred.
His arms trembled.
