Death Crisis, Battle Intent Power!

"Miss Vinina, are you sure it's this Blood-Stained Black Wolf?"

Looking through his binoculars at the Blood-Stained Black Wolf—over six meters tall and more than ten meters long, like a heavy tank—Li Xun could not help frowning.

Blood-Stained Black Wolves were also relatively common monsters near Washington Base City, but common did not mean weak. Lord-level Blood-Stained Black Wolves in particular ranked among the most troublesome opponents.

Of course, this Blood-Stained Black Wolf was only at the Initial Battle General level, but considering Vinina's current strength...

"It's the one."

Vinina responded, then instructed through her binoculars, "Clear out the Beast Soldier-level monsters around it first. Once their numbers have been reduced to a manageable level, we'll make our move."

"Yes!"

The Soldiers of the War Eagle Squad immediately responded. Not only did the two Soldiers using firearms ready their weapons, but the other Soldiers also drew their guns and aimed at the wolf pack.

This was perfectly normal.

What military Martial Artist did not know how to use a gun?

Not talented enough?

Then make up for it with time and experience!

With enough live-fire training, anyone could make basic use of the advantages of firearms. However, compared with the weapons carried by the two Soldiers who specialized in firearms, the guns used by these Soldiers prioritized portability and accuracy. Their power was far inferior, and they had not brought much ammunition either.

But no matter how weak they were, these were not ordinary bullets. They could still pose a certain threat to Beast Soldier-level monsters.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Muffled by silencers, the gunshots were incredibly low. Accompanied by them, the distant pack of Blood-Stained Black Wolves fell in waves like wheat being harvested in autumn!

In the blink of an eye, nearly a third of the wolf pack of over a hundred Blood-Stained Black Wolves had fallen.

In another blink, half were down.

Of course, not many had actually died. But the power of the bullets was there. Even if they could not kill them, they were enough to hinder their movements for a short time.

"Go."

Vinina gave the order, then gripped her spear and charged out, heading straight for the Wolf King!

"Wooo—"

The Wolf King let out an angry growl, but it did not charge to meet her immediately. After its growl, the Blood-Stained Black Wolves that had not been hit by bullets rushed forward instead.

Clearly, it intended to let its underlings wear her down first.

But the members of the War Eagle Squad obviously had no intention of letting it get its way. They charged forward, killed the several Blood-Stained Black Wolves that surrounded them in just a few moves, then separated the Wolf King from the other wolves, leaving Vinina room to fight.

"Awoo—"

As a Beast General-level monster, the Blood-Stained Black Wolf's intelligence was low, but it had some. Faced with this situation, it naturally understood that there was no escape. Whether it wanted to call its underlings or flee, the human before it was the first obstacle in its way. It stopped roaring, its blood-red beast eyes fixed firmly on the human before it.

"Come on. Let me see what a Beast General-level monster is made of."

Gripping the shaft of her spear, its tip pointed forward, Vinina's eyes gleamed with excitement as she advanced toward the Blood-Stained Black Wolf step by step.

The Blood-Stained Black Wolf stood silently in place.

But its blood-red beast eyes were filled with ferocity. As Vinina drew closer, the fur all over its body seemed to be infused with some strange energy, changing from black to an eerie dark red in an instant! Its bloody maw opened, and its yellowed fangs reflected a chilling gleam beneath the sunlight!

Yet Vinina paid it no heed and continued forward step by step.

Eighty meters!

Sixty meters!

Forty meters!

Whoosh!

The moment the distance closed to forty meters, the Blood-Stained Black Wolf turned into a streak of light and arrived before Vinina in the blink of an eye!

"Die!"

Vinina let out a low shout. As she dodged the Blood-Stained Black Wolf's claws, she exerted force with the spear she held tightly, its tip stabbing toward the side of its abdomen like a bolt of lightning!

Faced with this attack, the Blood-Stained Black Wolf seemed unable to turn in time. Yet just as the spear tip was about to pierce it—

"Roar!"

In midair, the Blood-Stained Black Wolf suddenly flashed forward at explosive speed. It landed and dodged the spear tip, then pounced again, its bloody maw bringing a foul gust of wind with it.

For a moment, Vinina had no room to dodge and could only block with her spear.

Bang!

Under the tremendous force, Vinina's slender body was sent flying. She rolled across the ground to disperse the force, her face instantly flushing red, but the excitement in her eyes only intensified. "What speed!"

"Again!"

Her body shot forward as her spear smashed down!

Unfortunately, it was dodged again. Then came another block with her spear, and she was sent flying once more. This time, the Blood-Stained Black Wolf did not wait for Vinina to charge again. Instead, it pursued at high speed, forcing Vinina to retreat continuously after rolling away the force, using the advantage of her spear to fend it off.

The situation had completely turned passive!

"Miss Vinina's current strength is simply insufficient to fight an Initial Beast General-level monster."

Outside the battle, Li Xun watched Vinina's bedraggled state and could not help shaking his head. Justin also nodded in agreement.

Vinina's strength had indeed grown quickly—quickly enough to astonish them—but no matter how fast it had grown, she still had not reached the Battle General level. Facing an Initial Beast General-level monster, especially a wolf-type monster renowned for its speed, she had begun showing signs of decline from the very first exchange.

Though she could barely cope for now, that was only because she had not made a single mistake while passively enduring the Blood-Stained Black Wolf's attacks. The moment she revealed even the slightest opening, this battle would naturally turn into a dead end!

"Make a move. Miss Vinina has reached her limit."

Justin spoke as he drew his saber. The pressure of a High-level Battle General instantly spread out, immediately becoming the center of the battlefield!

"Get lost!"

Vinina thrust out fiercely with her spear, forcing back the Blood-Stained Black Wolf that was about to flee. At the same time, she roared angrily at Justin. She did not waste a single word, but her blood-red eyes and even fiercer offensive made Justin pause involuntarily.

Then he silently retreated.

Whatever.

His strength had already reached the High-level Battle General level. He had only obeyed the Polenas Family for money. With Vinina acting like this, saving her might only earn him a grudge and retaliation...

He might as well let her gamble with her life.

If she won, he would keep doing what he had been doing. If she lost, he would consider himself unlucky, grab his things, and run.

As for retaliation from the Polenas Family?

If he was going to run, he would naturally run far away. It was not as if the Polenas Family could cover the entire Earth with one hand.

On Vinina's side, it was as if she were responding to Justin. Her methods grew even fiercer—her spear thrusting out, then smashing down at close range, carrying the air of fighting life for life!

But because of that, wounds began appearing across Vinina's body. She also found it increasingly difficult to keep up with the Blood-Stained Black Wolf's attacks, repeatedly falling into danger. Just as Li Xun could not help preparing to intervene, Vinina stumbled and failed to dodge in time. The claws were right before her eyes, only a few centimeters from Vinina—

Whoosh!

The Battle Intent that had only been passively washing over her suddenly condensed, then surged wildly through Vinina's body. As if everything had fallen into place, it drove her to erupt with another burst of power.

Bang!

Her spear shot out fiercely, carrying a sonic boom as it pierced straight through the Blood-Stained Black Wolf's abdomen!
