All the villagers cried out in surprise as Ye Tian appeared, charging at the wolf pack.
Ye Meng called out in terror, stumbling over his words: “Tian er, get back, get away!”
Ye Feng, Ye Ba and the others were plagued with worry. They thought they knew Ye Tian’s cultivation level, so dealing with a single Howling Moon Wolf was already difficult, yet he actually dared to charge into the pack? He was courting death!
Ye Shi roared, yelling for Ye Feng and billowing with True Qi as he blocked off a whole section of the wolf pack: “Go save him—he cannot die!”
Ye Feng was already moving and had no time to answer as his saber danced, cutting down wolves all around him as he pushed forward.
But Ye Feng was already exhausted, and after cutting through hundreds of Howling Moon Wolves, his focus slipped and a wolf cut through his guard, its jaws biting into his arm.
Suddenly, as if the hive had been disturbed, all the villagers erupted.
“Heh!” Ye Feng grunted, pain shooting up his left arm, his eyes falling cold with understanding. He chopped down and cut through the Howling Moon Wolf and through his arm.
Level Nine Martial Artists had great power, but their flesh and bone were still human. After getting crushed in the jaws of a Howling Moon Wolf, even a Level Ten Martial Artist would lose their arm, so Ye Feng decisively cut off his arm.
“Captain!”
Ye Ba and Ye Meng rushed forward, clearing a path to Ye Feng.
After escorting him back, a hunter rushed forward to dress Ye Feng’s wound, but the captain pushed him away, saying coldly, “No, get back to the defense. I need to get to Ye Tian—he cannot die.”
“Captain!” Ye Meng cried, tears tumbling down his face.
“He’s our village’s hope. Nothing can happen to him!” Ye Feng announced, staring forward into the wolf pack and stepping forward by himself, burning glorious and brilliant.
As Ye Feng moved again, Ye Tian had finally entered the radius of the wolf pack, the Howling Moon Wolves turning towards this unwelcome guest and pouncing forward.
Three Howling Moon Wolves surrounded Ye Tian, jaws open and green eyes gleaming as they worked together to bring down their prey.
“No!”
The Ye Family Villagers looked on, their hearts falling as they waited for Ye Tian’s death. As a mere Level Four Martial Artist, Ye Tian had no chance against three Howling Moon Wolves.
“Ye Tian!” Ye Meng’s miserable cry cut through the yelps and roars of the wolves, the father rushing forward crazily, pushed back again and again by the siege of wolves.
Ye Feng and Ye Ba were also extremely anxious, but none of the villagers could break through.
Roar! Village Chief Ye Shi cried out, his True Qi bursting outwards and whipping around like a tornado centered on him, instantly pummeling over a hundred Howling Moon Wolves to death.
But in their wake pounced hundreds more wolves, unafraid and ferocious, tying down even the Peak Stage Level Ten Martial Artist expert and hemming Ye Shi in.
Finally—
“Chi!” “Chi!” “Chi!”
The Scarlet Saber drew a line through the air like a brilliant shooting star, glimmering faster than thought, blood splashing in its wake as three wolf heads flew into the sky.
The scene had transformed so quickly that the villagers could only pause for a moment in dazed amazement, not registering what they witnessed.
The Scarlet Saber was wielded like a reaper’s scythe. One wave of Ye Tian’s hand reaped the lives of three wolves.
Ye Tian cut his way through the wolf pack, every flash of his blade leaving behind a wolf corpse, his Late Stage Level Seven Martial Artist cultivation destroying every wolf with a single strike.
Soon, Ye Tian was approaching the Wolf King.
“Impossible?”
“Is that really Ye Tian? Why does he have a Level Seven Martial Artist’s strength?”
“Leven Seven Martial Artist! When did Ye Tian break through to Level Seven Martial Artist?”
Everyone was stunned and the experts were no exception. Ye Shi, Ye Feng, Ye Ba, and Ye Meng all felt as if they were in a dream, each of them rubbing their eyes and blinking with disbelief.
“He’s not just a Level Seven Martial Artist; he’s much stronger than I am,” Ye Meng muttered numbly as his son slashed a path through the wolves. The man pinched himself, worried that this was all fantasy.
“He’s Level Seven, but his saber skills are incredibly powerful and he can find the wolves’ weakness instantly, killing them with a single strike!” Ye Shi sighed in amazement, pleasant surprise filling his old eyes.
“Look, he’s going for the Wolf King. He just has to kill the Wolf King and the pack will scatter!” Ye Feng cried out loudly, happy surprise on his face.
“Not bad. The brat is clever!” Ye Shi nodded with approval, but some hesitation soon crept over him. “The Wolf King isn’t weak, and even if it’s only a Level Seven Martial Artist beast, it’s on the verge of Level Eight. With the aid of the other wolves, will he be able to kill it?”
Ye Feng and Ye Ba’s faces fell and grew serious. None of the villagers dared to hope.
Finally, Ye Meng spoke up, his voice firm: “Trust him. I know his character—he never does anything he’s unsure of. He will definitely succeed.”
Ye Shi, Ye Feng and the others jolted, nodding seriously.
The Ye Family Villagers immediately changed tactics. Instead of focusing on their defense, they aggressively pushed forward towards the Wolf King, hoping to pressure the wolves to focus their attention towards them.
As the villagers pushed forward, Ye Tian immediately noticed the pressure decreasing, speeding forward and trampling the corpses of the moon wolves as he finally arrived before the Wolf King.
“Owoooo~~~” The Wolf King howled angrily, its cold eyes locked onto Ye Tian. Quick as a flash, it blurred into a blue shadow as it lunged for Ye Tian’s throat.
As it pounced, a dozen more Howling Moon Wolves also pounced, surrounding Ye Tian.
“En?” Ye Tian’s eyes narrowed, his heart tranquil as he grabbed his Scarlet Saber with his left hand, cutting down at the Wolf King.
Simultaneously, Ye Tian brought up his right palm, attacking with Thundering Palm, nine palm shadows flying out towards the other wolves.
“Pu chi chi chi…”
The sound of cutting and crushing filled the air as Ye Tian’s saber flashed and waved, sending heads flying into the air.
With his other hand, the terrifying palm strikes reverberated with True Qi, blasting wolves away.
“Good!”
Ye Shi and the others cried out praise as Ye Tian warded off the wolf pack’s attack, facing the Wolf King with utter calm and composure, showing the poise of a natural Artist.
“Good Saber, good palm, and a brilliant mind!” Ye Feng echoed with praise.
Ye Meng’s heart overflowed with excitement. His son had already surpassed him and entered the realm of experts.
The Wolf King angrily roared, dodging Ye Tian’s Scarlet Saber and pressing downwards with its claws before exploding forward again.
The Howling Moon Wolves kept coming and despite Ye Tian’s power, the overwhelming number of beasts quickly pulled him into crisis.
I can’t waste anymore time! The Wolf King must die! Ye Tian turned away from the leaping wolves and stared coldly at the Wolf King, his eyes sharp as a blade.
Tightly gripping his Scarlet Saber, Ye Tian leaped into the air, striking down towards the pouncing Wolf King.
The Wolf King roared again, angling its jaws upward, its sharp fangs glittering like cold metal as its front paws swiped upward.
“Die, beast!” Ye Tian cried, a murderous intent filling his eyes. His Scarlet Saber flashed down like lightning, cutting towards the Wolf King.
“Hong!”
The Wolf King’s claws hit the Scarlet Saber and the air exploded, sending both Ye Tian and the Wolf King flying to the ground.
Powerful! It can fend off the Scarlet Saber with its claws! Ye Tian thought, his chest tightening.
The Wolf King was incredibly fast and it pounced forward again as soon as it touched the ground, its sharp claws glittering.
Ye Tian had his Scarlet Saber and his Thundering Palm while the Wolf King fought with sharp claws and extreme speed.
Both were as powerful as Level Eight Martial Artists and their fight wouldn’t end quickly, but more and more Howling Moon Wolves gathered all around them and the longer the fight went on, the more danger would surround Ye Tian.
There’s no time! Ye Tian thought, his mind still calm as he looked for the Wolf King’s weakness. Finally, Ye Tian’s eyes focused on the Wolf King’s fierce eyes and a cold smile flashed across his face.
“Go to hell, beast!”
Ye Tian burst forward, his blade cutting decisively towards the Wolf King.
The Wolf King roared again, its sharp claws cutting forward to parry the sharp blade, a loud explosion filling the air again.
But this time, neither of them retreated. Ye Tian forcefully stopped the Wolf King from backing away, reaching out with his other hand as his Scarlet Saber struck, grabbing onto the Wolf King’s leg.
The Wolf King’s eyes were like winter and he howled almost quietly as his sharp claw pierced into Ye Tian’s palm, but Ye Tian gripped tightly, ignoring the pain.
“Die!” Ye Tian cried, his palm bleeding and his eyes filled with furious killing intent.
“Roar! Roar!” As ferocious as the Wolf King was, even it began to panic at the madness in Ye Tian’s eyes.
Shua!
Bearing the pain, Ye Tian lifted his saber with his right hand, slashing parallel to the ground at the Wolf King’s head. The beast king lifted its claws to protect its throat, convinced that Ye Tian was going for the kill.
The beast was cunning, but it had been fooled. Ye Tian knew that he couldn’t easily kill the Wolf King, so he had feinted towards its throat before cutting its eyes.
The eyes were the Wolf King’s weakness, its most vulnerable organ. With the slice of the saber, the Wolf King’s green orbs were mutilated and the beast could only roar in desperate anger, utterly blinded and unable to find its prey.
The Howling Moon Wolves panicked, their king flailing madly and swiping all around it, even wounding and killing its own pack.
The Howling Moon Wolves didn’t dare to resist their king, and they all hid or fled.
Taking advantage of this decisive opportunity, Ye Tian tangled with the Wolf King once more, finally cutting it down and killing it.
When the wolves saw their mighty king destroyed by Ye Tian, fear overcame them and they scattered.
The wolf pack crisis was successfully resolved by Ye Tian’s daring.
The hunters and villagers swept forward, excitement and joy on their faces.
Ye Tian stood by the Wolf King’s corpse as he was surrounded, all the villagers filled with praise.
“Good job! You didn’t disappoint!” Ye Shi arrived first, thumping Ye Tian’s shoulder excitedly.
Ye Tian smiled and opened his mouth in response when he noticed Ye Feng’s bloodied clothes and his arm missing out of the corner of his eye. Ye Tian’s smile froze.
