Slaying a Beast General-Level White-headed Wolf

Lu Lin grew more and more at ease as he killed.

He had even begun calculating that killing so many White-headed Wolves would earn him quite a few Monster Cores. In the future, he would never need to worry about Simplification Points again.

But while Lu Lin remained optimistic, Zhou Shenming and the others felt heavy-hearted.

Normally, White-headed Wolves wouldn't be so unafraid of death. Once they suffered around ten percent casualties, the pack would leave, no matter what their purpose was.

But there were only a little over two hundred White-headed Wolves in total, and they had already killed nearly a hundred—almost half. Yet the White-headed Wolf King still hadn't called its subordinates away.

Was there something in the camp that attracted them?

"Rooar—"

"Rooar—"

Several roars unlike those of ordinary White-headed Wolves rang out in succession. Lu Lin's vision blurred, and a White-headed Wolf over a meter tall, with a powerful build, suddenly appeared before him.

Beast General level!!!

Lu Lin was shocked. He was only an ordinary Mid-level Martial Artist. Was it really necessary to send such a subordinate after him?

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

It was incredibly fast. Lu Lin did his best to dodge, but it still closed in on him.

At close range, the White-headed Wolf opened its jaws and lunged for Lu Lin's waist.

"You dare!"

Lu Lin's Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield was only at the Third Layer. If it couldn't stop the Beast General-level White-headed Wolf's sharp teeth, he'd be done for.

"Die!"

Lu Lin roared and swung his saber at the White-headed Wolf's face, meeting its attack head-on.

With this slash, Lu Lin unleashed the power of the Fourth Layer of Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes.

Five Times Amplification.

Fifty thousand pounds of force.

Bang!

The Beast General-level White-headed Wolf, weighing two tons, was actually sent flying by Lu Lin's slash.

A hideous gash appeared across its face.

Blood gushed steadily from the wound.

Yet the injury wasn't enough to kill the White-headed Wolf. Instead, it only roused its ferocity.

"Uu—"

The White-headed Wolf growled and slammed its powerful hind legs into the ground.

This time, it didn't pounce. Instead, it charged at Lu Lin almost skimming the ground.

"Not good!"

Lu Lin was completely drained. This was his first time using the Fifth Layer's attack amplification, and he hadn't expected his entire right arm to go numb and ache.

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

Danger!

If the White-headed Wolf bit him now, Lu Lin would never survive.

Whoosh!

Just then, an arrow streaked over and shot straight into the White-headed Wolf's open mouth.

The White-headed Wolf sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late. All it could do was barely snap its jaws shut.

The arrow struck its mouth.

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

How was that possible?!

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

Lu Lin was shocked.

Fortunately, the delay had given him a little time. His right arm was still numb and aching, but at least he'd regained some feeling.

Lu Lin dashed up to the Beast General-level White-headed Wolf and brought his saber down.

Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes, Sixth Slash.

This time, Lu Lin couldn't unleash Five Times Amplification. He could barely manage the Second Layer's power, a 1.5-fold increase.

A flicker of wariness passed through the White-headed Wolf's eyes.

It remembered how Lu Lin had just struck it with a single slash, shattering much of its skull. If it hadn't been so tenacious, it might have died right then beneath Lu Lin's saber.

The White-headed Wolf was agile, but it misjudged Lu Lin's speed.

Soaring Cloud Steps.

Lu Lin blurred and appeared in front of the White-headed Wolf.

His E-rank Battle Saber struck the wound on its face once more, right on target.

"Awwooo—"

The Beast General-level White-headed Wolf cried out in pain.

That blow had badly wounded it. The wound from before had deepened by another threefold.

Writhing in pain, the White-headed Wolf rolled around on the ground and howled.

Just then, another arrow of light shot toward it.

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

The arrow flew unhindered into its eye socket.

The White-headed Wolf gave one final shudder, then fell to the ground, dead.

Huang Li's arrow had passed through its eye socket and pierced straight into its brain. Whether Martial Artists or Monster Beasts, once their brains died, they were truly dead.

"Hah... hah..."

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

This was his first time fighting a Beast General-level Monster Beast. Making it this far was already quite an achievement.

Fortunately, Huang Li had been there to help. Otherwise, in Lu Lin's condition, he would certainly have been dragged into a desperate fight.

"Brother Huang Li, thanks!"

"No problem."

Huang Li replied calmly. Lu Lin didn't need help for the moment, and he still had to keep an eye on the others.

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

After that Beast General-level White-headed Wolf died, there were far fewer ordinary White-headed Wolves around Lu Lin. The occasional two foolish enough to approach were easily cut down by him.

By now, Lu Lin had time to observe how the other members of the team were doing.

In front of Zhou Shenming was a high-level Beast General White-headed Wolf. Judging by its size and expression, it was probably the leader of this pack.

At that moment, Zhou Shenming was barely holding his own against the Wolf King, teetering on the brink of danger. Its claws had slashed a two-inch gash into his left arm, and the flesh inside had been torn open.

Ren Tian, the brothers Da Wei and Xiao Wei, and Li Mo each had a Beast General-level White-headed Wolf facing them as well.

Ren Tian was still holding out. With every punch he threw, even the Beast General-level White-headed Wolf had to give ground.

Although the brothers Da Wei and Xiao Wei had been separated, they still occasionally worked together, inflicting one wound after another on the White-headed Wolves they faced.

Only Li Mo was struggling. His strength was a little lower than Ren Tian's, and Huang Li had been focused on Lu Lin just now. At this moment, Li Mo had already suffered several injuries.

None of them were life-threatening, but if this continued, the outcome was hard to predict.

Lu Lin hadn't spent much time with Li Mo, but he knew that he had to go help now.

Fortunately, after a little time to recover, most of the numbness and ache in his right arm had faded. He could still assist Li Mo with the Third Layer of Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes.

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

Lu Lin shouted.

He wasn't trying to take credit; he was just giving Li Mo a heads-up, so Li Mo wouldn't accidentally slit his throat with a dagger.

"Thanks."

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

The White-headed Wolf saw its chance and leapt at him, ready to pin him down.

But Lu Lin had arrived. How could he let the White-headed Wolf have its way?

"You beast!"

"Die!"
