Slaying the Beast General Level White-headed Wolf

Lu Lin was killing more and more easily.

He had even started calculating in his mind—killing so many White-headed Wolves would yield plenty of Monster Cores, and he would never have to worry about Simplification Points again.

But while his mindset was optimistic, Zhou Shenming and the others were heavy-hearted.

Under normal circumstances, White-headed Wolves would not be so unafraid of death. Once casualties reached around ten percent, the pack would retreat regardless of their objective.

Yet now, out of just over two hundred White-headed Wolves, they had already killed nearly a hundred—close to half—and the White-headed Wolf King still hadn't called its subordinates to withdraw.

Was there something in the camp attracting them?

"Howl—"

"Howl—"

Several roars rang out, distinct from ordinary White-headed Wolves. Lu Lin's vision blurred, and before him appeared a White-headed Wolf over a meter tall with a powerful, imposing build.

Beast General level!!!

Lu Lin was shocked. He was only an ordinary Mid-level Martial Artist—did they really need to send such a subordinate against him?

Before Lu Lin could react, the Beast General-level White-headed Wolf lunged at him.

Its speed was extreme. Even though Lu Lin dodged as best he could, it still closed in.

Once in range, the White-headed Wolf opened its maw and bit toward Lu Lin's waist and abdomen.

"You dare!"

Lu Lin's Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield was only at the Third Layer. If it couldn't withstand the Beast General White-headed Wolf's fangs, he would be finished here.

"Kill!"

Lu Lin roared, meeting the White-headed Wolf's attack with a slash aimed at its face.

This strike, Lu Lin used the power of the Fourth Layer of Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes.

Five Times Amplification.

Fifty thousand jin of force.

"Boom!"

The two-ton Beast General-level White-headed Wolf was actually sent flying by Lu Lin's blade.

A vicious, bloody gash appeared on its face.

Blood gushed from the wound.

Yet such an injury failed to deliver a fatal blow to the White-headed Wolf; instead, it only stirred up its ferocity.

"Grrr—"

The White-headed Wolf let out a low growl, its two powerful hind legs stomping hard against the ground.

This time, instead of leaping, it charged at Lu Lin almost flush against the ground.

"Not good!"

Lu Lin was in a state of exhaustion. To be honest, this was the first time he had used the Fifth Layer's attack amplification, and it had left his entire right arm sore and numb.

The White-headed Wolf was extremely fast. It was about to bite Lu Lin, but he couldn't lift his arm in time.

Danger!

If the White-headed Wolf bit him now, Lu Lin would have no chance of survival.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, an arrow shadow flew swiftly, aiming straight for the White-headed Wolf's open mouth.

The White-headed Wolf sensed the danger, but it was too late to dodge. It could only force its jaws shut.

The long arrow struck its mouth.

Just as Lu Lin was relieved that Huang Li had saved his life, he saw that the White-headed Wolf's mouth hadn't even been scratched.

Impossible!

Huang Li's arrow couldn't even injure a Beast General-level White-headed Wolf?!

Lu Lin was stunned.

Fortunately, the delay gave his right arm—still sore, numb, and swollen—a chance to regain some feeling.

Lu Lin dashed to the side of the Beast General-level White-headed Wolf and slashed down.

Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes, Sixth Slash.

This time, Lu Lin couldn't muster the Five Times Amplification; he could barely manage the Second Layer's power, a 1.5 times boost.

A flicker of wariness appeared in the White-headed Wolf's eyes.

It remembered—just that one slash from Lu Lin had shattered much of its skull. If not for its tenacious vitality, it would have died right then under his blade.

The White-headed Wolf moved nimbly, but it misjudged Lu Lin's speed.

Soaring Cloud Steps.

Lu Lin flickered and appeared before the White-headed Wolf.

His E-rank Battle Saber struck true once more, landing squarely on the wound on the White-headed Wolf's face.

"Owww—"

The Beast General-level White-headed Wolf let out a pained howl.

This blow had truly dealt it severe damage, deepening the existing gash by three more inches.

The White-headed Wolf writhed and roared on the ground in agony.

Just then, another arrow shot through the air.

But this time, the White-headed Wolf wasn't fortunate enough to notice the incoming arrow.

The long arrow pierced its eye socket without obstruction.

The White-headed Wolf gave a violent shudder, then collapsed to the ground, dead.

Huang Li's arrow had passed through its eye socket and driven straight into the White-headed Wolf's brain. Whether for a martial artist or a Monster Beast, once the brain dies, death is absolute.

"Haah—haah—"

Lu Lin stared at the dead White-headed Wolf, his chest heaving rapidly.

This was his first battle against a Beast General-level Monster Beast, and managing this much was already commendable.

Fortunately, Huang Li had been there to lend a hand; otherwise, given Lu Lin's condition, he would have surely fallen into a bitter struggle.

"Brother Huang Li, thank you!"

"It's nothing."

Huang Li replied calmly. Lu Lin's side no longer needed immediate attention; he still had to keep an eye on the others.

After all, Ren Tian and Li Mo were like him—only High-level Martial Artists.

With the Beast General-level White-headed Wolf dead, the number of ordinary White-headed Wolves around Lu Lin also dwindled. Occasionally, two reckless ones charged at him, only to be easily slain.

Now, Lu Lin had time to observe the other members of the team.

Before Zhou Shenming stood a High-level Beast General White-headed Wolf. Judging by its size and demeanor, it was likely the leader of this pack.

In his fight with the wolf king, Zhou Shenming was barely holding on, narrowly escaping danger at every turn. His left arm bore a two-inch gash from the wolf king's claws, the flesh turned outward.

Ren Tian, the brothers Da Wei and Xiao Wei, and Li Mo each faced a Beast General-level White-headed Wolf.

Ren Tian could still hold his ground; with a single punch, even a Beast General-level White-headed Wolf had to give way.

Da Wei and Xiao Wei, though separated, occasionally coordinated their attacks, adding fresh wounds to the White-headed Wolf before them.

Only Li Mo was struggling. His strength was inferior to Ren Tian's, and Huang Li's attention had been on Lu Lin earlier. Now, Li Mo bore several injuries.

None were fatal, but if this continued, the outcome was uncertain.

Though Lu Lin hadn't interacted much with Li Mo, he knew he had to step in and help now.

Fortunately, after this brief respite, the soreness and numbness in his right arm had mostly faded. With the Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes Third Layer, he could assist Li Mo without issue.

"Brother Li Mo, I'm here to help!"

Lu Lin shouted.

He wasn't trying to claim credit, but to alert Li Mo and avoid getting his throat slit by Li Mo's dagger by accident.

"Thanks."

Li Mo didn't even have time to turn his head. He barely dodged the White-headed Wolf's attack and rolled on the ground.

Seeing this as a golden opportunity, the White-headed Wolf leaped forward to pin Li Mo down.

But with Lu Lin here, how could he let the White-headed Wolf succeed?

"Beast!"

"Die!"
