Death of the Wolf King!

Death of the Wolf King!

"Grandfather!"

As if spring had arrived and flowers had bloomed, the grim, chilling atmosphere between heaven and earth abruptly vanished. Gu Xuanzhen scooped up his granddaughter, turned, and left the forest. Naturally, his granddaughter could not be allowed to see such a scene.

"Grandfather! Gu Shaoshang went alone to lure away the Silver Wolf King! Hurry and save him!" Gu Lianxing suddenly looked up. She had almost forgotten. Miss Lianxing secretly stuck out her tongue!

"Is that so? That boy is that bold?" Gu Xuanzhen was intrigued.

Gu Shaoshang naturally had no idea that poor him had nearly been forgotten by Miss Lianxing!

"Damn beast!" Gu Shaoshang fled in a sorry state. The combat experience of the Xingyi Grandmaster had been of tremendous help to him! He weaved and dodged, escaping dozens of the Silver Wolf King's pounces!

"Awooo!" The Silver Wolf King pursued him madly. The little bug ahead was simply too nimble! It could dodge every one of his attacks!

"Whoosh!" Without even raising his head, Gu Shaoshang rolled like a lazy donkey and darted to the right. The Silver Wolf King was far faster than Gu Shaoshang. Had he not been able to sense the airflow in advance and predict where it would land, he would have long since become wolf dung!

"This demonic beast is far smarter than ordinary wild beasts. I won't get a second chance to strike! With a body capable of knocking down even great trees, I can only kill it in one blow by piercing its most vulnerable point—its eyes!" Gu Shaoshang judged calmly. Damn it! I've led it back and forth for over a hundred li. My stamina is giving out!

Gu Shaoshang staggered and fell to the ground, steam rising from his sweat-soaked body.

"Awooo!"

A bloodthirsty, violent gleam shone from the Silver Wolf King's scarlet eyes!

The silver wolf slowly came to a stop. Its wolf body, over a zhang tall, gleamed like jade! The only flaw was the deep, charred Fist Seal in the center of its forehead. Its flesh had been blasted away, exposing bone beneath! This was the mark Zhao He had left behind!

Cold sweat ran down Gu Shaoshang's back. He gripped a throwing knife in each hand. Even though he had calculated everything, he could not help feeling nervous and afraid at this moment! Yet beyond that, an indescribable thrill deeply stimulated his mind!

"Awooo!"

The Silver Wolf King roared once more, leaping several zhang in a single pounce. Its massive wolf claws stabbed down, ready to rip Gu Shaoshang open from belly to chest!

I'm going for it! Gu Shaoshang roared madly in his heart! He kicked off with both legs, flipped over, and threw both knives!

"Awooo!"

Amid the Silver Wolf King's frenzied roar, Gu Shaoshang dodged far away.

"So close! Just a little more..." Cold sweat poured down Gu Shaoshang's face. He had clearly seen his two throwing knives shooting at the Silver Wolf King's eyes from left and right. In that split second, the Silver Wolf King blinked! One of the throwing knives was knocked away!

"Fortunately, the knife from my right hand was a little faster!" Gu Shaoshang rejoiced inwardly!

"Awooo!"

The Silver Wolf King threw back its head and howled. Its left eye was tightly shut, a long streak of blood flowing from it! Its only remaining scarlet right eye fixed on Gu Shaoshang. Endless pain, madness, and brutality filled it! With a frenzied roar, it leaped three zhang and pounced at Gu Shaoshang!

"Still not dead!" Gu Shaoshang's expression changed drastically as he hurled throwing knife after throwing knife!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The Silver Wolf King neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight at him! Every throwing knife was deflected, leaving only tiny spots of blood! Its right claw, glinting with a chilling light, reached out and slashed fiercely at Gu Shaoshang!

"Boom!" Gu Shaoshang dodged, and the great tree beside him, so thick that three men could barely encircle it, crashed down! Gu Shaoshang narrowly avoided it, cold sweat pouring down his heart!

"Awooo!" After a mad, resentful roar, the ground suddenly shook! The Silver Wolf King's massive body crashed heavily to the ground!

Gu Shaoshang's heart shook wildly! At the instant of the Silver Wolf King's death, a flash of purple light appeared before his eyes!

Source Power detected... Absorb?

This was the first time the Myriad Heavens Projection Mirror had discovered Source Power that could be absorbed! Gu Shaoshang was shaken, then overjoyed. I've finally found absorbable Source Power!

Ever since the Myriad Heavens Projection Mirror had bound itself to him, Gu Shaoshang had tried all manner of things he could get his hands on, but he had never found an item containing Source Power!

"Absorb!"

The purple light flashed, and a miniature silver wolf roared and struggled madly as it was absorbed into Gu Shaoshang's body!

Absorption successful! Absorbed 10 points of Source Power!

"Was it absorbing its soul?" Gu Shaoshang's heart skipped a beat as his mind silently connected with the Myriad Heavens Projection Mirror!

"Is Source Power the power of the soul?"

Source Power is the power of World Origin, the source power of heaven and earth. It is not limited to souls. Anything containing Source Power at a sufficient concentration can be absorbed!

"Is that how it is?" Gu Shaoshang stood blankly in place, then clenched his fists tightly after a long while!

Gu Xuanzhen carried his granddaughter through the forest. Even a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Sect Realm could only fly briefly at low altitude. Having saved his granddaughter, Gu Xuanzhen naturally did not consider a mountain boy's life more precious than his own true qi!

"Awooo!"

Gu Xuanzhen's expression shifted, and with a piercing sound, he flew toward the source of the howl!

"That beast ate Zhao He. It must die!" A Life Establishment martial artist was an important figure anywhere. Even with Gu Xuanzhen's status, he had only a handful under his command! Losing one was enough to make his heart bleed!

"This is!" Gu Xuanzhen's heart stirred as Gu Lianxing looked in the direction of the sound from his arms!

A gigantic silver wolf weighing several thousand jin lay on the ground, while a small youngster in bloodstained hemp clothes stood with one foot on its head!

How unbelievable was this! The demonic beast-level Silver Wolf King, which had even killed a Life Establishment martial artist, had actually been slain by a mere ten-year-old village boy! Gu Xuanzhen had roamed the world for forty years and seen countless geniuses and heroes! Yet he had never seen such a sight! At this moment, the well-traveled grandfather and granddaughter were deeply shocked!

Gu Shaoshang stood there in a daze for a long time before finally smiling. "So what if it's a Demonic Artifact of Ultimate Evil! I will never slaughter all living beings in exchange for power!"

"Someone's coming? Did Gu Xuanzhen save his granddaughter?" Gu Shaoshang's heart stirred.

"You killed the Silver Wolf King!" Gu Lianxing ran over, disbelief filling her eyes!

Gu Xuanzhen lightly shifted the wolf corpse. The wolf's body, weighing several thousand jin, seemed as thin as paper in his hands!

An expert! Gu Shaoshang's heart tightened. With a foolish grin on his face, he replied, "Hehe, I happened to shoot a throwing knife into its eye! I was just lucky!"

"You're that lucky?" Gu Lianxing exclaimed in amazement. The terrifying Silver Wolf King had died just like that! Gu Lianxing could only marvel at Gu Shaoshang's good fortune!

Gu Xuanzhen lifted the Silver Wolf King's eyelid. "What a fierce throwing knife! It pierced straight into the brain and churned the entire thing to pulp!"

Gu Xuanzhen was puzzled as he looked at Gu Shaoshang, who was standing there with a foolish grin.

When the hunting party carried the Silver Wolf King and over a dozen Lin Yu Flowers into Gu Family Village, the entire village erupted!

"Heavens! Such a huge silver wolf! It truly is the demonic beast, the Silver Wolf King!"

"I heard Old Jiu's boy killed it with a single throwing knife!"

"No way! A ten-year-old child killed the Silver Wolf King!"

"Sickly Old Jiu's child is that formidable!"

Everyone in Gu Family Village, young and old alike, came out to watch! Even the former village chief, Gu Xuanwu, who rarely left his home, hobbled to the village entrance on his cane!

For a time, Gu Shaoshang's name spread throughout Gu Family Village!

"Why didn't it bite him to death!" Gu Shaoyou gnashed his teeth in a corner. Watching the villagers cheer, he felt both envy and jealousy!

"Brother! How can you say that!" Gu Shaohan tugged at Gu Shaoyou unhappily. "Although Shaoshang injured you, he did get rid of the Silver Wolf King that threatened the village!"

"Get lost!" Gu Shaoyou roared before slinking home in disgrace.

"Father's illness can finally be cured! This trip into the mountains cleared up the source of Source Power. After the year-end sacrifice, I'll devote myself fully to improving my strength!" Gu Shaoshang calculated silently, his mood excellent!

He gently pushed open the door and saw his father, Gu Jiu, standing in the courtyard. His face was dark, and he roared vigorously, "You little bastard, you've got some nerve! You dared provoke the Silver Wolf King! I'll skin you alive!" A bamboo cane was raised high in his hand!

Gu Shaoshang fled with his head in his hands, shouting, "Dad, listen to my explanation! It's not what you think! Ow! You're really hitting me!" Yet his heart was filled with warmth. While everyone else was focused on the Silver Wolf King, only this bald middle-aged man considered his safety more important than anything else!
