Life and Death in the Balance

It's easy to imagine just how powerful this Vicious Wolf is right now. Even Xuan Ye, who had activated Tai Chi Palm in slow mode, was having trouble withstanding the Vicious Wolf's attacks. If it were any other ordinary Chunin, they would probably be killed with just one attack from that Vicious Wolf.

After this encounter, Xuan Ye gained a deeper understanding of the Vicious Wolf's power, and a cautious look appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Vicious Wolf. This battle with the Vicious Wolf was becoming extremely dangerous; a single misstep could result in injury or death.

The Vicious Wolf wouldn't give up attacking Xuan Ye just because it was knocked away once. If it had simply run away when it couldn't win, this situation wouldn't have happened.

"Awoo!"

The Vicious Wolf howled loudly at the sky again, staring fiercely at Xuan Ye with its green wolf eyes, baring its teeth. Its slightly open mouth and sharp fangs meant that if Xuan Ye were bitten by that Vicious Wolf, he would basically be saying goodbye to this world.

The Vicious Wolf charged at Xuan Ye again, moving incredibly fast on all fours. In the blink of an eye, it was Xuan Ye in front of Vicious Wolf.

Xuan Ye wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but it seemed like the Vicious Wolf's speed had increased slightly.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the Vicious Wolf extended its claws again, opened its mouth with sharp fangs, and attacked Xuan Ye.

"So fast." With the Divine Eye activated, Xuan Ye could only barely make out the Vicious Wolf's silhouette. With the added enhancement of his fighting skills from the Divine Combat Skill, Xuan Ye could roughly judge when to launch a counterattack.

The wolf was getting closer and closer, right in front of Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye could even smell the stench emanating from the Vicious Wolf's mouth. The stench was so strong that he almost vomited.

However, it is obvious that if something goes wrong at this crucial moment, the final result will definitely be being eaten by wolves, there is absolutely no other outcome.

Based on his judgment and experience, Xuan Ye made his move, his outstretched hand grabbing the Vicious Wolf's outstretched leg as it tried to attack. With a push and a pull, plus a Tai Chi Palm strike in slow mode, the Vicious Wolf was sent flying again.

Just as Xuan Ye was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. Looking down, he saw three scratch marks from wolf claws on his arm.

The three bloody marks deeply stimulated Xuan Ye's brain, and a surge of intense pain rushed in like a tidal wave, almost making Xuan Ye scream out loud.

The pain must not be allowed to continue. I need to block out the pain receptors and stop the bleeding from my arm. Otherwise, if I bleed too much, I will feel dizzy.

Xuan Ye quickly controlled the chakra within his body to seal the pain and stop the three bleeding marks that were flowing uncontrollably.

"This is truly the most dangerous battle I've faced since coming to the world of Naruto. If I want to survive, I have to take down that Vicious Wolf first, otherwise death is the only path awaiting me."

At this moment, Xuan Ye's mind became increasingly calm, and his eyes became sharper and sharper, like a venomous snake ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment when the enemy was relaxed.

The Vicious Wolf that had been knocked away by Xuan Ye's Tai Chi Palm in slow mode stood up again, its green eyes gradually turning red, and its gaze gave Xuan Ye the feeling of becoming even more insane.

Perhaps it was Xuan Ye's blood that provoked the Vicious Wolf, or perhaps it was Xuan Ye's counterattack that provoked the Vicious Wolf. In any case, the Vicious Wolf had completely abandoned its composure and was attacking Xuan Ye in its most frenzied state.

The Vicious Wolf, on all fours, charged toward Xuan Ye once more.

"Damn it, that Vicious Wolf is even faster again. If this continues, there's really no way to defeat Vicious Wolf. We have to finish this quickly. If this drags on and the Vicious Wolf keeps getting faster, we'll really have no chance."

Xuan Ye had this thought in his mind, so he decided to stop using the slow mode of Tai Chi Palm. Although the slow mode of Tai Chi Palm was very safe, given the current state of that Vicious Wolf...

If the speed increases a few more times, Xuan Ye won't need to fight anymore; it would be more realistic for him to just stand there and wait to die.

With a thought in his mind, Xuan Ye's starting stance changed, and his aura instantly transformed from steady to sharp and aggressive.

Although the Vicious Wolf's speed increased again, Xuan Ye's Tai Chi Palm increased significantly after switching from the slow mode to the Fast Mode of Tai Chi Palm. His attack power also increased considerably after switching to the Fast Mode.

However, there is one downside: the Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode does not have the Hidden Strength function of Tai Chi Palm in slow mode. The Hidden Strength function is unique to Tai Chi Palm in Full Mode.

The Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode also has a unique function: it can seal the enemy's chakra points, directly preventing the enemy from using the chakra stored in those points.

There are a total of 64 main acupoints in the human body used to store chakra. If all 64 acupoints are sealed, the person will become completely unable to use chakra and will be no different from an ordinary person.

However, the wolf in front of Xuan Ye had absolutely no chakra. Even sealing the wolf's sixty-four main acupoints had no effect.

However, under the current circumstances, Xuan Ye can only use the Tai Chi Palm in Fast Mode to increase his speed and attack power; the Tai Chi Palm in slow mode can no longer be used.

"Awoo!"

The Vicious Wolf responded to the call and quickly ran to Xuan Ye's side.

This time, Xuan Ye didn't wait for the Vicious Wolf to attack again. Instead, he took the initiative and used both palms to strike the Vicious Wolf repeatedly.

"Awoo!"

The Vicious Wolf was caught off guard by Xuan Ye's actions. It had been the wolf that was always attacking while the human was on the defensive. But why was the human now attacking, and at such a much faster speed?

The Vicious Wolf was once again sent flying by Xuan Ye's Tai Chi Palm. This time, the power of the Tai Chi Palm was much stronger than before, and it clearly caused some damage to the Vicious Wolf.

However, after Xuan Ye's attack, the Vicious Wolf became even more frenzied, completely disregarding its own body, and desperately ran towards Xuan Ye, frantically extending its claws and sharp fangs to bite several holes in Xuan Ye's body.

The Vicious Wolf's speed increased, but Xuan Ye had no intention of retreating. He met the Vicious Wolf's attack head-on and used Tai Chi Palm to strike back.

This time, both the man and the wolf flew backwards. Xuan Ye's small body crashed into a large tree, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Xuan Ye's aura gradually weakened, and many bloody scratches from the Vicious Wolf's claws appeared on his body. Blood kept flowing from the scratches, and Xuan Ye's head began to feel dizzy, which was a sign of excessive blood loss.

The crisis was imminent, and it seemed as if Death God was slowly wielding its sharp scythe behind Xuan Ye.
