Chapter 56: Entering The Third Limit Room (2/2)
Ten tier-1 Intermediate Demons were about equal in strength to ten first-stage Astral Realm cultivators. Even a second-stage Astral Realm cultivator would have to flee at the mere sight of these beasts.
After all, demonic beasts were much more ferocious than humans. Generally, a defeat under a demonic beast was the same as death.
”No wonder the overseer reminded me to be careful. So this is a room of beasts?” Xiang Shaoyun licked his lips.
”Howl!”
When one of the scarlet wolves howled, the other wolves started moving. They were already seeing Xiang Shaoyun as food and were currently planning to tear Xiang Shaoyun apart. Nine wolves charged at the same time, making for quite a terrifying sight.
Xiang Shaoyun yelled at them, ”When I first entered the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, wolves like you guys were the ones who had caused me to p.i.s.s my pants in fear. Today, I shall relish in my revenge!”
Instead of retreating, Xiang Shaoyun advanced to meet the wolves. He charged barehanded and sent a punch at the fastest wolf.
Rus.h.i.+ng Qi Fist, full power!
Not a single bit of astral energy could be seen around the punch, yet for some reason, the punch carried with it a tyrannical momentum.
Bang!
Before the wolf could reach Xiang Shaoyun, the punch struck it. The wolf's nose exploded into a mist of blood, and the wolf flew through the air, wailing miserably. At this time, two other wolves arrived, attacking Xiang Shaoyun from two different angles. They clawed at Xiang Shaoyun with their claws, and from how sharp their claws looked, it was certain they would draw blood if they struck.
At the same time, the other wolves were also coming from several other directions. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun presently had no way of escaping.
”Since all paths have been blocked, I will open a path through slaughter,” Xiang Shaoyun vowed. His body flickered, and his leg whipped forward.
Gale Winds Kick!
The Gale Winds Kick specialized in speed, and each kick was akin to the wind—fast and elusive. This was the perfect technique to deal with these wolves, and Xiang Shaoyun's kicks instantly sent two approaching wolves flying.
Xiang Shaoyun was no ordinary first-stage Astral Realm cultivator. Rather, he had the combat prowess of a third-stage Astral Realm cultivator. His attacks, once they landed, were enough to cause these wolves to never stand again.
Xiang Shaoyun was already experienced in killing demonic beasts after his trip to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range. Thus, after the initial clash, his battle intent lit up as he started charging the wolves. His legs whipped out every now and then. Each kick was extremely heavy, and before the wolves could approach him, they were sent flying.
”Howl! Howl!”
Before long, the nine wolves could no longer stand. Three of them were already dead, and the rest were greatly weakened. One wolf had opened up a wound on Xiang Shaoyun's back, but the injury wasn't too serious.
The final wolf howled at Xiang Shaoyun before it finally attacked.
This wolf was a tier-2 Intermediate Demon, and it was clearly smarter than the rest of the wolves. Each of its attacks was sent from a tricky angle with just the right amount of force and the most appropriate timing.
The wolf nearly sent Xiang Shaoyun cras.h.i.+ng into the ground, and a new wound appeared on his shoulder. The sharp pain gnawed at his mind.
”You must be the king of these wolves, right? Too bad, you're still too weak,” Xiang Shaoyun said and attacked.
The wolf howled and rushed forward to meet Xiang Shaoyun. Its jaws were opened wide and aimed straight at Xiang Shaoyun's head. Just as they were about to clash, Xiang Shaoyun abruptly s.h.i.+fted his body and avoided a frontal clash. As he crossed the wolf, he sent his palm behind him.
Cloud Splitting Palm!
The palm descended with a tyrannical might, a momentum capable of crus.h.i.+ng rocks, a power the wolf would be hard-pressed to stop.
