540 That cold arrow was really damn cold! (1/2)

He had rough skin and thick flesh that was powered by immense strength. His speed was fast and his reaction surprisingly quick. He was extremely alert and did not fear fighting one against many.

How was this a rookie at the Psionic Mortal Realm?

Eventide Great Wolf's expression turned increasingly solemn. The killing intent in his heart grew even stronger. If he were to give Shi Xiaobai the luxury of a few years, they could very likely become bugs that could be easily crushed. If they wanted to kill Shi Xiaobai, they had to take the opportunity now!

”Retreat! There's no rush, let's enervate him!”

Eventide Great Wolf knew that the more bent on killing they were, the more they shouldn't act anxiously. The six of them had the advantage in numbers, realms, and battle strategy. As long as they fought without turning hasty and did things in a methodological manner, there was absolutely no chance of defeat.

Eventide Second and Third Wolf immediately retreated dozens of meters back when they heard the command. Again, they took up a triangular stance with their backs facing each other. They were planning to continue with the strategy of inviting Shi Xiaobai to entrap himself.

Eventide Fourth Wolf began pulling back to the left side of the courtyard as though he was evading the battlefield. In fact, he was hiding in order to wait for a chance.

Mu Lengxi was so infuriated that she began stamping her feet. How could there be such shameless people? It could be ignored that the six of them did not dare to fight him straight on, but to think they began employing such a shameless battle strategy!

Shi Xiaobai had long figured out that his opponents were planning on fighting a battle of attrition. Such strategies were actually commonly seen in games. Typically, a group of players would use it against Boss battles. A tank warrior would attract aggro and constantly pull the Boss, allowing assassins and long-ranged attackers to find a chance to output their damage. Once they were targeted by the Boss, they would immediately retreat, allowing the warrior to continue pulling aggro. This pattern would repeat and slowly, the Boss's health points would be drained completely.

Although the critical members like long-range attackers had yet to appear, they were likely Eventide Five and Six Wolf, who were still waiting for the opportunity. At least one of them was playing such a role. The Seven Wolfskins was truly using quite a good battle strategy.

Shi Xiaobai never expected that despite facing six enemies that were two realms higher than his, he was receiving the treatment a Boss would get. Immediately, he found it amusing and infuriating. However, he showed no fear. Putting aside the matter of who would fall first in a battle of attrition...

”Do you really think This King is a fool?”

Shi Xiaobai sneered. First, he charged at Eventide Great Wolf and the other two with Crab Steps. While passing off the spurious as genuine, he left behind shadows and with a twist, he changed directions and suddenly charged at an existence that was attempting to wipe out its own presence with a speed that was like a sudden clap of thunder which left no time for one to cover one's ears. In fact, that person only looked like a fool in Shi Xiaobai's eyes.

”Oh no, his target is Evernight Fourth Wolf!” Evernight Second Wolf shouted in alarm.

Shi Xiaobai ran quickly like a leopard that had locked its sights on a prey. He was charging at Evernight Fourth Wolf, who had retreated to the left side of the courtyard and curled his body into a dark shadowy corner!

Shi Xiaobai was not some brainless Boss. There was also no so-called 'aggro system' in this battle. How could he be so foolish as to allow Eventide Great Wolf and company to pull him away with aggro?

Since the assassin, Evernight Fourth Wolf, had exposed his location, there was no reason for Shi Xiaobai to spare him. As a clever Boss, it was the wisest choice to first target the assassin that had the weakest defense but highest damage!

Eventide Great Wolf hurriedly shouted, ”Quickly help Evernight Fourth Wolf!”

Eventide Great Wolf and company immediately rushed toward Eventide Fourth Wolf's position. Originally, they believed that Shi Xiaobai was an arrogant and brainless fool so they did not expect him to see through the situation so quickly. He had grasped the crux of the matter. The boy had no weakness. How could he be this terrifying?

Eventide Fourth Wolf saw Shi Xiaobai running at him and immediately cried out loud from fright. He was a cowardly person, to begin with. If not, he would not have retracted his dagger that was aimed at Shi Xiaobai's eyes because of a palm strike. However, such 'cowardly' behavior was an advantage to an assassin.

He let out a loud cry as he placed his feet on a wall and with a squat, he charged out in the opposite direction. His speed was so fast that it gave Shi Xiaobai a shock.

Eventide Fourth Wolf was timid so in his life as an assassin, he had failed countless missions because of his timid and careful nature. However, he had never paid the price because of a failed assassination. He had always escaped given the opportunity and he ran extremely fast!

At the instant Shi Xiaobai was in a daze, Eventide Fourth Wolf had opened up a distance. However, he was not flustered. With a stride, he used Proximity Chasm and increased his speed greatly.

The distance between the two gradually narrowed.

Eventide Fourth Wolf widened his eyes in shock. The boy was actually faster than him!

Eventide Fourth Wolf felt his guts tearing apart in pain from his fear. His body was extremely thin and weak. His extremely low defense definitely could not withstand that terrifying palm strike. As Eventide Fourth Wolf ran, he yelled, ”Save me! Big Bro, save me! Second Bro, save me! Third Bro, save me! Quick, save me!”
