Chapter 144 Spirit Moon Frost Wolf
Stepping into this mysterious forest, sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, as if whispering of unknown dangers. The air is filled with the scent of damp earth and vegetation, a sense of unease lurking beneath the tranquility.
Suddenly, a low growl broke the silence, and a pack of agile lightning wolves darted out from the shadows of the woods. They were enormous, more than half a person's height, with fur that shimmered with a ghostly blue luster, like flowing electricity, and sharp teeth that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
"Watch out, it's a fourth-tier lightning wolf!" Lin Yu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly. He quickly unfolded his folding fan, gathered spiritual energy on the fan surface, and surrounded himself with a layer of light blue light, his eyes warily fixed on the wolf pack.
Zhao Yu gripped the broadsword tightly with both hands, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he still tried to remain calm and roared, "You've come at the perfect time! I was just looking for a place to vent my anger!"
Xu Xiaoxiao's expression was solemn. She drew her longsword, which hummed as she lightly touched the ground with her toes and shielded Sun Yao with her body. Her eyes were firm and fearless: "Everyone, stay back to back, don't get separated!"
Sun Yao hid behind Xu Xiaoxiao, her face pale, her hands trembling as she raised her shield, her voice trembling slightly: "I...I will protect myself."
Zi Ling closed her eyes tightly, chanting incantations. The tip of her staff shone brightly, ready to unleash a spell to provide support at any moment.
Zhou Yi and the other disciples also assumed defensive stances, gripping their weapons tightly, their clothes soaked with sweat.
The lead lightning wolf howled to the sky, and a blinding bolt of lightning shot out from its mouth, striking the group like an arrow.
Lin Yu reacted swiftly, waving his folding fan and instantly erecting a spiritual energy barrier in front of him. Lightning struck the barrier, producing a piercing sound and scattering light in all directions.
At the same time, the wolf pack pounced like black lightning, moving with ghostly speed.
Zhao Yu shouted and swung his broadsword, the blade flashing, as he slashed at the charging Lightning Wolf.
One of the lightning wolves was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the broadsword. It let out a miserable howl, but also used its claws to slash a bloody gash on Zhao Yu's arm.
"Zhao Yu!" Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed. She moved like lightning, her longsword flashing with cold light, and instantly stabbed at the lightning wolf that was attacking Zhao Yu. The blade sliced through the wolf's body, and blood splattered.
With a wave of her staff, Zi Ling enveloped everyone in a purple light, enhancing their defense. She shouted, "Everyone be careful! These wolves are too fast! Coordinate your movements!"
Sun Yao mustered her courage and used her shield to block a lightning wolf that pounced from the side, but was knocked to the ground by the wolf's impact.
"Sun Yao!" Lin Yu was extremely anxious. He used the "Lingxu Sword Manual" and his figure moved like a phantom. His long sword brought out a sharp sword aura and instantly repelled several lightning wolves that were attacking Sun Yao.
Xu Xiaoxiao's swordsmanship became increasingly fierce. She integrated her understanding of sword intent with actual combat, and her sword moves were exquisite. With each swing of her sword, a lightning wolf was hit and screamed in agony.
The battle continued, and the group gradually found themselves in a fierce struggle, but their eyes remained firm, they cooperated with each other, and they did not back down in the slightest.
Lin Yu shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your firepower and kill the alpha wolf first!" Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attacks towards the leading Lightning Wolf.
Ignoring his wounds, Zhao Yu roared and charged at the alpha wolf, raising his broadsword high and bringing it down with tremendous force.
The alpha wolf nimbly dodged, shooting lightning from its mouth. Lin Yu seized the opportunity and unleashed a superb sword technique from the "Lingxu Sword Manual." With a flash, his longsword pierced the alpha wolf like a shooting star. The alpha wolf was unable to dodge in time and was struck in a vital spot by the longsword.
With the alpha wolf dead, the pack was thrown into disarray. Seizing the opportunity, the pack launched a full-scale counterattack. After a fierce battle, the Lightning Wolves fell to the ground one after another, and the forest was filled with the strong smell of blood.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
Lin Yu looked at his injured companion and said, "Is everyone alright? Quickly bandage your wounds. This forest is fraught with danger; we can't stay here any longer."
The stench of blood permeating the woods was like a dangerous signal, spreading rampantly in the sultry and tranquil air. A gentle breeze made the stench even stronger, almost nauseating. The sunlight filtering through the leaves cast dappled patterns that seemed to be tinged with an eerie hue by the blood.
Just as everyone was recovering from the battle with the fourth-tier lightning wolf, and before they could even catch their breath, they heard the cracking sounds of tree branches being broken and a low, oppressive roar coming from all around.
Xu Xiaoxiao's face turned deathly pale instantly. She quickly stood up, gripped her longsword tightly in her hand, and looked around warily. Her voice was urgent and low: "Not good, a stronger aura is approaching. It seems... there are more wolves."
They quickly took out defensive magical artifacts and surrounded the group, forming hand seals to strengthen the formation.
Lin Yu's brows furrowed into a deep frown, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. He quickly unfolded his folding fan, spiritual energy surging across its surface, emitting a faint blue light.
"Everyone, cheer up and prepare for battle!" he shouted, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.
Despite the pain from his arm wound, Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and gripped the broadsword tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.
His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, "Damn it, we just dealt with one wave, and another one comes. I'm going to fight them to the death today!"
Zi Ling closed her eyes tightly, muttering incantations, the gem at the top of her staff flashing intermittently.
Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, her expression extremely grave: "This aura... is far more powerful than the previous Lightning Wolf. Everyone must be careful."
Sun Yao's legs went weak and her body trembled uncontrollably, but she still forced herself to stand up, her hands trembling as she raised the shield, her voice trembling with tears yet trying to be firm: "I...I won't hold everyone back."
Zhou Yi and his other disciples gripped their weapons tightly, their faces filled with fear, but they stood together, encouraging each other.
As the commotion drew closer, a pack of even larger lightning wolves slowly came into view. These wolves were more than a person tall, their fur shimmering with even more dazzling electric light, and their fangs were still dripping with saliva, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
The wolf king, the leader, was much larger. It was an immature Spirit Moon Frost Wolf. With a long howl, a thick bolt of lightning shot out from its mouth and struck straight at the group.
Lin Yu's expression changed drastically. He shouted and swung his folding fan, instantly erecting a spiritual energy barrier to block the attack.
Lightning struck the barrier with a deafening roar, and a powerful electric current spread across it. Lin Yu was jolted back by the impact, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Xu Xiaoxiao's top-grade magic artifact was also damaged, and she also spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lin Yu!" Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes. Ignoring her injuries, she moved like lightning, rushing towards the wolf king. Her longsword drew a sharp arc in the air, carrying her newly comprehended sword intent, and aimed straight at the wolf king's eyes.
Sensing danger, the wolf king nimbly dodged to the side. Xu Xiaoxiao's longsword grazed its fur, sending sparks flying, but it did not harm the wolf in the slightest.
Zhao Yu roared and charged towards the wolf pack, brandishing his broadsword. A lightning wolf leaped high and pounced on him, but Zhao Yu swiftly held his broadsword horizontally in front of him, blocking the attack.
But the wolf's impact was so great that it knocked him to the ground. He rolled on the ground, quickly got up, and swung his broadsword, slashing the wolf's leg.
With a flick of her Purple Diamond Staff, streaks of purple light shot towards the wolf pack like meteors, striking several wolves and causing them to howl in pain. However, the wolf pack was numerous and continued to pounce relentlessly.
Sun Yao followed closely behind Xu Xiaoxiao, trying her best to use her shield to protect her from attacks from behind. Suddenly, a lightning wolf darted out from the side and bit Sun Yao's shield. Sun Yao screamed in fright and struggled desperately.
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and thrust her sword at the wolf, driving it away.
The battle intensified, and the forest was filled with the roar of lightning, the clash of weapons, the howls of wolves, and the shouts of the crowd.
The group gradually became embroiled in a fierce battle, and many of them sustained injuries, but no one showed any sign of backing down.
Lin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Hold on, everyone! We can't fall here! Concentrate our forces on attacking the wolf king. Once we take it down, the wolf pack will collapse!" Hearing this, everyone nodded and cooperated with each other, moving closer to the wolf king.
Xu Xiaoxiao used all her skills, each swing of her longsword bringing forth powerful sword energy, clearing a path for everyone.
Zhao Yu followed closely behind, wielding his broadsword with great force to block the approaching wolves, while Zi Ling provided continuous magical support from behind, offering shields for everyone.
With everyone working together, they finally got close to the Wolf King. Lin Yu shouted and unleashed the strongest sword move of the "Lingxu Sword Manual". A dazzling light shot out from the longsword, like a bolt of lightning, and pierced towards the Wolf King.
At the same time, Xu Xiaoxiao unleashed a sword strike imbued with all her sword intent, while Zhao Yu leaped high into the air and brought his broadsword down with immense force.
The three attacks struck the wolf king simultaneously. The wolf king let out a shrill scream and collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely. The wolf pack instantly lost its command and began to scatter and flee.
