After being knocked away by Xuan Ye, the wolf crashed heavily into a large tree.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the large tree snapped in two due to the immense force of the impact. The broken trunk fell backward, raising a cloud of dust.

In Xuan Ye's eyes, after the tree trunk fell, the birds that were planning to rest in the forest were frightened by the loud noise and flew into the sky to take shelter.

The Vicious Wolf that crashed into the tree wasn't seriously injured, only suffering a slight pain. However, this minor pain only intensified the Vicious Wolf's ferocity.

The Vicious Wolf that had fallen to the ground quickly got up again and pounced on Xuan Ye once more. This time, the Vicious Wolf did not look for any flaws in Xuan Ye's defenses, perhaps because it felt it could not find any, or perhaps because it had been provoked by the attack.

Standing still, Xuan Ye calmly watched the Vicious Wolf go berserk. Against such an enemy, Xuan Ye didn't need to take the initiative. He only needed to stand still, wait for the opponent to attack, and then counterattack with his Tai Chi Palm in slow mode.

Why did Xuan Ye activate Tai Chi Palm in slow mode instead of Fast Mode? This question is very simple and easy to answer.

While the Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode can increase Xuan Ye 'Xuan Ye speed and attack power, it is not effective against an already berserk opponent.

While using Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode might lead to a quick victory against an opponent who has lost their composure, it could also result in injury.

Those opponents who have lost their minds will generally attack frantically and basically not defend. Using Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode against such opponents may result in injury, but using Tai Chi Palm in slow mode is different.

While the Tai Chi Palm in slow mode is not Tai Chi Palm powerful or fast as the Tai Chi Palm Fast Mode Fast Mode, its defensive capabilities are significantly stronger.

The slow mode of Tai Chi Palm is about using slowness to overcome speed, stillness to control movement, and using minimal force to deflect great force. It lets the opponent make the first move and then makes the first move. Although the attack power is much lower, the defense power is increased several times.

However, don't be naive enough to think that the attack power of Tai Chi Palm in slow mode is very low. The low attack power is only compared with Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode. If compared with Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, the attack power of Tai Chi Palm in slow mode can easily crush Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, not to mention Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode.

Xuan Ye stood still, already in the starting stance of Tai Chi Palm in slow mode, ready to meet the Vicious Wolf's next attack.

The Vicious Wolf quickly ran back behind Xuan Ye and stretched out its claws to grab at Xuan Ye's back. The Vicious Wolf's claws were dark and reflected a different kind of light under the moonlight.

However, when the Vicious Wolf attacked Xuan Ye from behind, Xuan Ye wasn't worried at all. He simply turned around to face the Vicious Wolf, a slight smile on his lips, and continued using his slow-motion Tai Chi Palm technique.

Using the Vicious Wolf's momentum, Xuan Ye only needed to use a little force to knock the Vicious Wolf away.

With a gentle push and pull, followed by a Tai Xuan Ye Tai Chi Palm strike in slow mode, the Vicious Wolf was sent flying again, crashing into a large tree once more. The tree, too, was not spared and broke in two.

The battle that followed was very simple. Xuan Ye only needed to stand still and wait for the Vicious Wolf to come to him, then use the Vicious Wolf's momentum to knock it away.

"Once, twice, three times, four times, five times."

The Vicious Wolf showed no sign of giving up and continued to attack Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye, however, found the situation very easy, using his slow-motion Tai Chi Palm to send the Vicious Wolf flying time and time again.

Every time Xuan Ye's Tai Chi Palm strikes the Vicious Wolf in slow mode, he injects a burst of Hidden Strength into the Vicious Wolf's body. He has already injected quite a bit of Hidden Strength into the Vicious Wolf's body.

Moreover, Xuan Ye did not intend to continue fighting the Vicious Wolf. He wanted to kill it instantly with one blow, so he used a unique move of Tai Chi Palm in slow mode to Exploding Hidden Strength.

Xuan Ye formed several mysterious hand seals and silently recited the incantation needed to Exploding Hidden Strength. After doing all this, Xuan Ye shouted, "Detonate!"

"Boom!"

Just after those two words, the Vicious Wolf, which was about to attack Xuan Ye again, suddenly emitted an explosive sound from inside its body.

After the explosion, the Vicious Wolf spat out a mouthful of bright red blood and collapsed onto the grass, unable to get up.

Seeing this, Xuan Ye knew that the wolf was almost dead, so he turned around and headed back home.

Xuan Ye didn't need to care about the wolf's corpse, because the wolf was lying there bleeding and powerless, and it wouldn't be long before other wild beasts came and ate it. After all, this was considered the edge of the forest, and there were some wild animals around.

Xuan Ye wasn't walking fast. After taking a few steps, a wolf howl suddenly came from behind him.

"Awoo!"

To Xuan Ye, the cry sounded like a scream of agony, as if the wolf knew it didn't have long to live. Xuan Ye didn't try to stop the wolf from doing this.

Because after that explosion, the wolf's internal organs were basically all shattered, making it impossible for it to survive. Therefore, Xuan Ye took the howl as a dying wail.

However, this time Xuan Ye was destined to miscalculate. Just as Xuan Ye had not gone far, the wolf behind him stood up again and howled at the sky once more.

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, the Vicious Wolf's black and white fur turned completely blood red. Not only did its fur turn blood red, but the Vicious Wolf's size also increased again, with its claws growing more than ten centimeters.

The Vicious Wolf's eyes were fixed on Xuan Ye Vicious Wolf, who was walking slowly. Its eyes were filled with hatred. It wanted to take revenge on that human, to drag that human down with it, and to make that human know the price of underestimating it.

The transformed Vicious Wolf ran towards Xuan Ye. However, this Vicious Wolf was very different from the previous Vicious Wolf. Vicious Wolf ran without making a sound and was several times faster than before.

Not long after, the Vicious Wolf ran up behind Xuan Ye and, just like it had attacked Xuan Ye before, stretched out its claws and slashed at Xuan Ye's back.

However, this attack was different from the previous ones that attacked Xuan Ye. It was much faster and made no sound during the attack. Even Xuan Ye didn't notice that the Vicious Wolf had already run up behind him.
