Chapter 194: Purple Qi Arrives from the East
September 25, 2017
The ten gigantic gray wolves, named Wolfguard by the system, had a strength rating of 55. They were undoubtedly in the category of demonic beasts for ordinary people, and a pack of them could easily chase and bite down dozens or even hundreds of people. However, for Lu HaiKong, they fell just a bit short.
In a one-on-one fight, none of these Wolfguards could withstand more than three moves from Lu HaiKong. But when all ten Wolfguards worked together, the situation was vastly different.
These Wolfguards seemed to have a natural understanding of battle tactics, whether it was offense or defense.
There was a faint sense of an innate military formation among them, and the Wolfguards executed their attacks, feints, and defensive maneuvers with remarkable coordination.
What surprised Lu HaiKong the most was not their tactics but a vague sense of something akin to a legion that he could perceive from these Wolfguards.
Even though these were just ten wolves with a strength rating of 55, no matter how well they coordinated, Lu HaiKong was confident he could still take them down with a single swing of his axe, breaking through their combined assault.
However, when these ten Wolfguards united, they seemed to become one entity, and for a moment, Lu HaiKong struggled to break through their encirclement. Instead, he found himself suppressed by their coordinated attacks.
The Wolfguards took turns attacking Lu HaiKong, covering each other's advances and retreats, forcing him to retreat step by step.
This was the first time Lu HaiKong had been at a disadvantage since entering Wolf Valley.
"Interesting, these wolves are even more challenging than I anticipated," Lu HaiKong said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with battle intent. "It seems I should show a bit of my true skills."
As soon as Lu HaiKong finished speaking, a flash of purple energy appeared on his face. After spending several hours in the valley, he finally utilized his inner strength for the first time since cultivating the Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Energy Art.
Infusing the Ghost Mask Axe with the power of the Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Energy Art, Lu HaiKong spurred his warhorse forward, signaling the start of his counterattack.
As the warhorse charged, Lu HaiKong held the Ghost Mask Axe slightly behind him. Then, with a sudden swing, he brought the axe forward, spinning it with both hands.
Empowered by the Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Energy Art, the Ghost Mask Axe hadn't even landed when the leading Wolfguard was struck by its special effect. The wolf, which had been about to retreat, froze in its tracks, and in that instant, Lu HaiKong's axe swung down, violently splitting the wolf in two.
With one Wolfguard violently slain, the subtle connection between the ten Wolfguards was instantly shattered, and their previously solid formation began to show cracks.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that while his physical strength and inner power were at their peak, his mind was exhausted. Prolonged battles were not in his favor, so he seized the opportunity and charged forward, swinging the Ghost Mask Axe.
Fueled by the surging Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Energy Art, the occasional activation of the Ghost Mask Axe's special effect, and Lu HaiKong's overwhelming strength, he annihilated the ten Wolfguards in just a few minutes.
Interestingly, throughout the entire battle, the Wolf King watched from afar with an air of arrogance, showing no intention of helping. It seemed this proud creature disdained joining forces with its subordinates to take down Lu HaiKong.
Lu HaiKong had slain ten Wolfguard when the Wolf King finally approached, each step exuding arrogance.
Lu HaiKong paused, steadying his breath after the recent burst of combat. He prepared to face the final boss.
"This guy is strong!" Lu HaiKong frowned, dismounting his battle steed, which had sustained injuries in the previous fight. More importantly, as the Wolf King drew near, Lu's horse began to tremble in fear, clearly of no use in the upcoming battle.
When the Wolf King was within ten meters, it let out a long howl, tearing away its elegant facade to reveal its true savage nature.
As the ferocious beast pounced, its innate aura intensified, reaching Lu HaiKong before the Wolf King itself.
"Seeking death!" Lu HaiKong roared, his strength surging after advancing to level 70 in Martial Power. The aura of Mountain Splitting Axe seemed to explode from within him.
Lu HaiKong's confidence and ruggedness grew under the influence of this aura. He swung his Ghost Mask Axe with unyielding determination, engaging the Wolf King in a fierce battle.
Physically, Lu HaiKong was at a disadvantage, but in terms of brute force, he held the upper hand.
Despite its massive size, the Wolf King moved with agility. It would retreat after a missed strike, never daring to clash directly with Lu HaiKong. Its instinct told it that getting too close to Lu's axe would mean certain death.
Though the Wolf King avoided Lu HaiKong, its speed made it nearly impossible for Lu to land a hit.
In a 6-1-9-1-book-1-look-1-no-1-wrong!
The Wolf King was cunning, sensing Lu HaiKong's mental fatigue. It didn't rush the attack but instead wore him down, occasionally striking and retreating before Lu could counter.
This strategy was detrimental to Lu HaiKong, whose mental state was nearing collapse. If this continued, he would surely lose.
After several failed attempts to strike the Wolf King, Lu HaiKong decided to abandon his initial plan of subduing it.
Lu HaiKong relaxed, slowing down and feigning a retreat with his Ghost Mask Axe. The Wolf King, seeing this, became agitated.
You came here, wiped out our pack, and now you want to leave? Are you getting ahead of yourself?
The Wolf King howled and charged again, a silver lightning bolt, pouncing towards Lu HaiKong.
"Now's the time!"
Lu HaiKong's eyes flashed, and the special effect of his cultivated Ascending Dragon Energy Art, Purple Qi Arrives from the East, activated. His inner strength surged, and his body emanated a purple glow, enhancing his power and speed.
The Ghost Mask Axe swung with unprecedented speed...
