Slaying the Beast General (Part 2)!

Beast General-level monsters—truly terrifying beyond words!

Lin Ye barely glanced at the deep crater before his scalp crawled.

If that attack landed on him, even if he survived, he'd lose all combat capability.

If not for his mastery of "Microscopic Level" footwork letting him dodge by a hair, the consequences would be unthinkable...

Lin Ye's pupils shrank to pinpricks as he locked onto the Beast General giant wolf about to strike, silently calculating the gap between them.

His strengths were speed and reflexes; matching a massive monster in raw power was pure folly.

On the other hand, Beast General-level monsters boasted varied attack patterns and intelligence no less than a human's.

Especially cunning, vicious beasts like wolves—they were the cream of the monster crop.

They excelled at exploiting their own strengths to target an enemy's weaknesses, seizing any opening for a killing blow.

At that moment, Lin Ye felt a flicker of relief.

If he hadn't taken advantage of its earlier arrogance to leave a few wounds, he'd probably have to rely on a desperate trade-blow-for-blow tactic to seriously injure this Beast General.

"Looks like I need to find a chance to push this footwork to the next level. Otherwise, facing more and stronger Beast Generals later, I'll just be a punching bag..."

Lin Ye silently mocked himself, while also anticipating the next tier of "Microscopic Level" footwork.

As described in the martial artist system laid out by the world's two top powerhouses, "Hong" and "Thunder God,"

martial artist ranks weren't just divided into four tiers—Warrior, War General, War God, and Beyond War God.

Even footwork had four levels: Basic Level, Microscopic Level, Perfect Level, and Artistic Conception Level.

Right now, Lin Ye's footwork was at the second level, with only a sliver of progress left before the third, "Perfect Level"...

"Hoo~"

Lin Ye exhaled deeply, his gaze fixed on the three vicious gashes where blood still oozed slowly.

The big gray wolf seemed to have no attention to spare, its focus entirely on the enemy before it.

In a state of total concentration, Lin Ye could only barely evade this Beast General's attacks.

Watching from the sidelines, the other martial artists couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

A High-level Warrior going head-to-head with a Primary Beast General—even these battle-hardened soldiers rarely saw such a sight.

Because martial artists already struggled against monsters of the same rank.

Fighting above one's grade was exponentially harder.

Any ordinary High-level Warrior would have long since fallen, a corpse beneath the wolf's claws.

Truly a bold youth, skilled and fearless!

Everyone held their breath for Lin Ye, silently hoping he could pull off a miracle.

Whoosh!!

Dodging the giant wolf's attack again, Lin Ye clenched his teeth, a sharp glint flashing briefly in his eyes.

He was searching for this Beast General's weakness.

The bleeding wounds, the bloodshot eyes, the tough-furred neck, and that withered rear... Finally, Lin Ye's gaze settled on the wolf's injuries, deciding to widen them further.

Whoosh~

His eyes sharpened, Lin Ye kicked off the ground, shooting forward like an arrow from a bow, charging straight at the Gray Giant Wolf.

The closer he got, the harder the dodge. At close range, ordinary martial artists had almost no chance to evade, let alone make evasive moves while moving at speed.

Lin Ye burst into full sprint, his gaze razor-sharp.

Just as he was about to collide with the giant wolf, his body reacted almost instinctively—a series of sidesteps, a slight crouch, dodging the whistling claws.

Perfect opening!

He seized that fleeting moment, striking at the massive gray wolf as it swept past him.

Swish!

In an instant, a blade-light brimming with power flashed out of nowhere... His target was the vicious gash on the wolf's flank.

"Die!"

Chop!

Chop!

Chop!

Lin Ye heard the sound of a sharp blade slicing through tough fabric.

In terms of speed, humans might not match this Beast General giant wolf, but his current edge lay in strength.

So Lin Ye fully leveraged his power advantage, channeling it all into the Battle Saber.

Several slashes in quick succession dealt massive damage to the giant wolf, accelerating its blood loss.

"Aoow!"

A mournful, furious howl rang out as the massive shadow in front crashed down from the sky once more. Lin Ye, with his focus razor-sharp, dodged again... Had his reaction been even slightly slower, he would have died under the giant wolf's claws.

Boom!!

Dust kicked up from the ground as the Gray Giant Wolf's body trembled slightly.

At that moment, Lin Ye's assault began anew...

"What sharp footwork and power. To fight this long against a Beast General-level giant wolf known for its agility and endurance—though he's slightly at a disadvantage, isn't that still a valid way to fight?"

The middle-aged Regiment Commander, Li Yunfei, stared at the scarred Beast General giant wolf and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

With his keen eyesight, he could easily discern Lin Ye's overarching goal—inflict wounds, wait for the wolf's stamina to drop from blood loss, then find an opening to kill it.

"Against a powerful foe, attrition is also a viable tactic!" The Regiment Commander's face showed an appreciative smile.

The nearby communicators exchanged odd glances; they had never seen their commander praise someone so highly.

But they had witnessed Lin Ye's battles, and were deeply shaken by them.

Even more so because quite a few brothers who had fought and bled alongside them had been saved by Lin Ye.

For these reasons alone, they couldn't help but feel admiration for him.

"Such practiced killing—this young martial artist is truly formidable!"

The middle-aged officer Li Yunfei fixed his gaze on Lin Ye's area.

That fifty-meter radius had become a no-go zone.

Even the occasional low-level monster that blundered in fled for its life.

Amidst the swirling dust, Lin Ye and this Beast General had exchanged dozens of attacks.

Relying on agile footwork, quick reflexes, and the rich experience he'd accumulated from fighting Wolf-like Monsters, Lin Ye had predicted the Beast General's attacks almost every time.

Strikes missed again and again, while its body gained several unnecessary wounds. The Beast General giant wolf's eyes were full of resentment and fury.

Streams of blood slowly dripped from its wounds, staining the ground a vivid red.

The scent of blood filled the air.

The Beast General giant wolf realized with terror that its once-proud speed and strength were rapidly declining.

Even its consciousness was growing hazy, bit by bit.

Just then, Lin Ye charged forward with his blade again...

Time ticked by, second by second.

The beast horde's charge had lost its momentum, and the giant wolf fighting Lin Ye was likewise spent—its initial vigor exhausted, its second wind gone, its third spent.

Its body was covered in wounds.

From overwhelming Lin Ye at the start, to fighting him evenly, and finally to scrambling to dodge his attacks... In ten minutes, the battle's momentum had flipped completely.

Now, Lin Ye held absolute dominance!

Killing this Primary Beast General-level giant wolf was only a matter of time now...
