Mumei Shinpū-ryū

With a metallic clang, the tachi was drawn from its scabbard, and a flash of brilliance streaked across the air!

"Flood Dragon!"

The slash transformed into a Flood Dragon, severing the Wind Bullet before continuing its flight toward the Moon-Howling White Wolf.

Makarov was taken aback; there hadn't been the slightest fluctuation of magic!

A pure physical slash?

Can a simple slash reach such a level?

No, that wasn't it. There was Wind Element mixed into it.

As a man of vast experience, Makarov quickly realized that this was a slash formed by Sword Qi absorbing the Wind Element.

Even so, it was enough to shock him, for this was the first time he had ever seen such a unique Sword Skill.

Aerial Slashes were not uncommon in this world, but they were only achievable through the use of magic, as this was a world of magic!

This young man was truly unique!

The Moon-Howling White Wolf dodged the slash with a flash of movement and lunged toward Yun Feiyang!

Clang!

The tachi blocked the wolf's claws!

Yun Feiyang grinned, pulled back to retract his force, and kicked the Moon-Howling White Wolf in the stomach, sending it flying backward. At the same time, he drew his tachi across, carving a wound into its belly.

"Roar~"

The pain infuriated the Moon-Howling White Wolf. It turned to bare its fangs at Yun Feiyang, the vicious glint in its eyes growing ever more intense.

Yun Feiyang didn't care in the slightest, sneering, "Do you think I'm still that child from three years ago, the one you chased all over the place? As for me now..."

Yun Feiyang said viciously, "I can slaughter you!"

The Moon-Howling White Wolf clearly understood human speech. Thoroughly enraged, it opened its maw and spat out a tornado, which tore through the air toward him!

What Makarov and the wolf pack saw was the Moon-Howling White Wolf unleashing a skill at empty air, while Yun Feiyang stood to the side with a cold sneer, having already struck a pose for his own skill.

This is... has it been caught in an Illusion Technique?

When did it happen?

Could it have been that strike from just a moment ago?

Makarov had guessed correctly; this was Mumei Shinpū-ryū: Mirage.

The requirement was to wound the enemy, allowing Sword Qi to enter the body and disrupt the flow of blood, thereby inducing hallucinations.

This technique was useful, certainly, but it only worked on opponents whose strength was inferior to one's own.

The Moon-Howling White Wolf was worthy of being a high-intelligence Demonic Beast; it quickly discovered its abnormality and regained its senses, but it was too late!

Because Yun Feiyang's ultimate move was already prepared!

"I'll finish you in one strike!"

"Mumei Shinpū-ryū!"

Yun Feiyang swung his blade, and over a dozen Flood Dragons flew out, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They enveloped the Moon-Howling White Wolf, coiled around it, and simultaneously began shredding its body with wind blades.

"Secret Art: Azure Dragon!"

As the Moon-Howling White Wolf plummeted, the dozen Flood Dragons merged together, forming a massive Azure Dragon!

The Azure Dragon let out a silent roar, then charged downward in a fury, striking the Moon-Howling White Wolf like a colossal slash.

With a thunderous boom, dust billowed into the air!

A massive crater was smashed into the ground. The Moon-Howling White Wolf lay within it, covered in wounds, blood gushing out like a fountain!

Clang!

The katana returned to its sheath!

Yun Feiyang said indifferently, "Do you feel it? This is the wrath of the Dragon King!"

Makarov was filled with wonder, his heart struck with surprise and admiration. What an exquisite technique, what powerful lethality, what an imposing sword skill!

"Hm?"

Yun Feiyang turned around to see the Moon-Howling White Wolf standing up, its blood-red eyes locked onto him!

"So tenacious?"

That was to be expected; it was an S-Class Demonic Beast, after all. It wouldn't be taken down so easily!

The Moon-Howling White Wolf let out a long howl toward the sky, and attracted by the sound, moonlight descended to shroud it.

Bathed in the moonlight, the Wolf King appeared as if draped in a holy cloak, looking even more majestic and extraordinary!

Most importantly, the wounds on its body were actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Don't even think about it!"

Seeing that the situation was turning dire, Yun Feiyang hurriedly swung his blade to strike!

"Flood Dragon!"

The Moon-Howling White Wolf stomped its front paws onto the ground. The moonlight faded, and a storm formed around its body, deflecting the flying slash. Then, its body flickered, and it vanished from where it stood!

Yun Feiyang's expression changed. He quickly turned and held his katana upright to block!

Clang!

Murasame blocked the Moon-Howling White Wolf's attack!

Failing to land the blow, the Moon-Howling White Wolf did not linger, turning into a breeze and vanishing.

When it reappeared, it was already at Yun Feiyang's side, its ferocious wolf jaws snapping toward him!

Yun Feiyang's reaction was not slow; he turned again to block the attack!

Just like that, the Moon-Howling White Wolf kept flashing in and out of existence, launching a dense barrage of attacks against Yun Feiyang, but each one was blocked by him with perfect timing!

After a series of attacks, seeing that this human's defense was airtight, the Moon-Howling White Wolf stopped and let out an angry roar!

Yun Feiyang sneered, "Speed is also my specialty; I'm no worse than you!"

"Awoooo~~~"

Clearly impatient, the Moon-Howling White Wolf leaped into the air, transforming into a tornado that tore through everything, descending directly upon Yun Feiyang!

Makarov's expression tightened as he recognized this as the Moon-Howling White Wolf's finishing move. Its power approached that of Super Magic and was terrifyingly formidable!

At the same time, he circulated his magic power, preparing to intervene and save him!

As the tornado engulfed the area, Yun Feiyang's shout rang out!

"Mumei Shinpū-ryū Secret Technique: Black Tortoise!"

The massive, heaven-reaching tornado raged, destroying everything in the vicinity. Whether it was sand or rock, everything nearby was swept inside. Even large trees were uprooted, pulled into the vortex, and shredded into debris!

One could see just how terrifying the power of this magic was!

The tornado raged for quite a while before stopping. The Moon-Howling White Wolf appeared in the air, looking quite smug!

That human brat should have been shredded to pieces; not even his bones would be left!

Hmph, to actually dare to provoke this Wolf King—it was simply courting death!

The Moon-Howling White Wolf looked down, and its jaw nearly dropped in shock!

Below, Yun Feiyang was completely unharmed, as the silhouette of a Divine Turtle had manifested around him, shielding him within.

Makarov was also greatly astonished. To think he could perfectly defend against magic of that magnitude! What truly remarkable Sword Skill!

When Yun Feiyang looked up, the Moon-Howling White Wolf shuddered; it finally understood!

One look was all it took to confirm that this was not an opponent it could defeat!

And so, it turned to run!

If even its ultimate move couldn't do anything to the opponent, it had to run; otherwise, it would be a dead wolf!

However, just as it moved, a divine wind gathered around its body, forming a vortex that coiled around it like a swarm of snakes, trapping it tight.

The Moon-Howling White Wolf was terrified, struggling desperately, but it could not break free from this restraint.

"It won't be that easy for you to escape!"

Secret Art: Black Tortoise. The Mystic Tortoise provides defense while the Mystic Snake traps the enemy; it is a technique that integrates both control and defense.

While trapping the enemy, it also prepares for the next move.

"Mumei Shinpū-ryū!"

Yun Feiyang swung his blade in an upward arc!

"Secret Art: White Tiger!"

A magnificent, multi-colored tiger roared as it lunged out, its momentum astonishing!

Just at that moment, the Moon-Howling White Wolf finally broke free from its restraints and transformed into a gale, fleeing into the distance!

"It's useless. The Divine Tiger's hunt never fails!"

The White Tiger, having missed with its first strike, vanished in a flash. When it reappeared, it was already beside the Moon-Howling White Wolf, pouncing on it squarely.

The White Tiger pinned the Moon-Howling White Wolf and slammed it to the side. The speed was so great that it created a shockwave, blasting into the rock wall.

With a deafening boom, a massive hole was smashed into the thick rock wall, and the battered Moon-Howling White Wolf fell limply to the ground.

"Time to finish you off!"

Red light flowed through Yun Feiyang's eyes as he unleashed a swift, fierce slash!

"Mumei Shinpū-ryū Secret Art: Azure Dragon!"

Over a dozen Flood Dragons flew out, catching up to the Moon-Howling White Wolf. They sliced into it repeatedly while spiraling it high into the air, finally merging into an Azure Dragon that struck down with a furious slash!

The blood of the Moon-Howling White Wolf rained across the sky!
