"Spirit Beast attack?"
Hearing the howls, Bai Mu immediately pulled back the carriage curtain to look outside.
Nearly a hundred bandits were rushing down from both sides of the mountain path, charging toward a carriage ahead.
These bandits stood two meters tall, their sturdy bodies covered in thick fur. Their lips protruded, their faces were painted, and enormous canine teeth showed from their mouths. Their gray hair was especially eye-catching.
"Wolf... Wolf... Wolf Bandits! Quick, run!"
The coachman's face changed drastically, and even the hands gripping the reins began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Wolf Bandits?!"
Bai Mu's expression darkened.
Wolf Bandits were vicious creatures born from Gale Demon Wolves and women.
They were strong and sturdy, capable of unleashing Wind Blades. It was said that each possessed the strength of a Spirit Master at level twenty or thirty, and their intelligence surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Beasts, making them difficult to deal with!
The coachman wanted to turn around and flee, but it was already too late. Four Wolf Bandits had charged toward the carriage!
"It's over..."
The coachman instantly turned pale as ashes.
"Don't be afraid. Leave it to me."
Bai Mu pressed a hand onto the coachman's shoulder and reassured him.
"W-What?"
The coachman thought he had misheard. If he remembered correctly, this young man had only just become a Spirit Master!
"Come out, Zygarde!"
Without wasting words, Bai Mu waved his hand and tossed out a ball of light.
"Awoo!!!"
A flash of white light appeared, and Zygarde threw back its head with a long howl. Dragon Might spread with its roar as its icy eyes fixed on the charging Wolf Bandits.
The Wolf Bandits' eyes flickered. Their wild instincts warned them of danger, but their bloodthirsty nature quickly overwhelmed that instinct, and they howled as they pounced toward the seemingly weak Dragon Dog!
"Xiao Ruan, Stomp!"
Zygarde raised its forelegs and slammed them down!
Boom—!!!
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Web-like cracks spread outward from Zygarde, and a violent shockwave surged in every direction.
"Ah—"
Struck by the shockwave, the Wolf Bandits let out painful howls. Their swift charge abruptly stalled.
Not only did their speed plummet, but one of them lost its footing and fell straight to the ground.
"Extreme Speed."
The next instant, Zygarde shot forward as a streak of green light, moving so fast that the naked eye could barely catch its form!
Bang—!
A dull impact rang out. The leading Wolf Bandit's chest jolted as it was sent flying, its body crashing into another Wolf Bandit.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sharp Wind Blade descended at extreme speed, as though it could slice apart everything before it!
Bai Mu sent through Telepathy:
"Dodge! Dragon Breath!"
There was a certain gap in their levels, and Zygarde had no intention of facing it head-on. It pushed off the ground and leaped away to evade it.
While in midair, dragon energy gathered in its mouth before a breath attack burst forth!
Whoosh!
It was so fast that the charging Wolf Bandit was struck into a stumble before it could even react.
"Urgh—ah—"
Its bloodthirsty instincts drove it to fight to the death, but golden arcs of electricity suddenly flickered over its body, causing its speed to drop sharply once more.
When it tried to ignore the effects and attack again, its entire body suddenly went numb, leaving it unable to exert any strength.
Dragon Breath had triggered paralysis, and the paralysis left it unable to move!
"Finish it!"
"Whoosh!"
A fierce wind suddenly swept across its face.
The Wolf Bandit bared its teeth and looked up, only to see the valiant Dragon Dog already before it, its gaping jaws clamping fiercely onto its neck.
Crack—
Its bones broke, and its head drooped.
A Wolf Bandit instantly entered its eternal slumber.
"Ah—!"
At that moment, the other three Wolf Bandits had managed to get back up. Some charged forward with howls, while others swung out Wind Blades!
Unfortunately, slowed by Stomp, they could no longer keep up with Zygarde at all.
"Extreme Speed, finish them!"
With a blur, Zygarde dodged the claws and flashed past the Wind Blades like green lightning streaking across the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With three dull impacts, the Wolf Bandits' breastbones caved in. They coughed up blood and fell to the ground, struggling desperately to rise.
"Awoo—"
Like a victorious general, Zygarde strode forward and took three bites to Crunch the Wolf Bandits' souls.
"Th-This..."
The coachman, who had just turned the carriage around, looked back and was immediately dumbfounded.
"I thought they were strong, but they were nothing special."
Bai Mu disdainfully swept his gaze over the Wolf Bandit corpses before looking toward the carriage under siege ahead.
A blue-haired beauty dressed in luxurious clothing and possessing an extraordinary temperament stepped out of the carriage.
After Martial Soul Possession, Ice Wings spread from her back as she flew into the air. A Phoenix Phantom appeared behind her, emanating terrifying pressure.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black Spirit Rings floated up and down around her feet. She was clearly a powerful Spirit Saint.
Her First Spirit Ring flashed, and powerful icy cold instantly spread out from her. Dozens of charging Wolf Bandits were frozen in solid ice, unable to move.
The remaining Wolf Bandits did not retreat at the sight. Instead, they charged even more ferociously, sending countless Wind Blades flying toward the woman and the carriage with every swing of their arms.
The beautiful woman's Second Spirit Ring lit up, and a peculiar Ice Armor floated around the carriage, perfectly blocking every Wind Blade.
As for the Wind Blades attacking her, her beautiful eyes turned cold, and she raised a hand with a sweep.
As her Fifth Spirit Ring flashed, ice blades filled the sky and shot out.
"Ah!!!"
In an instant, icy winds and bloody shadows splattered across the ground, while ghostly wails and wolfish howls pierced the sky.
Even if Wolf Bandits broke through and approached the carriage, the woman merely activated her Second Spirit Ring, and a peculiar ring of ice instantly sent them flying far away.
Nearly a hundred Wolf Bandits could not get within an inch of her!
"So strong..."
For a moment, Bai Mu was almost entranced.
A top-tier Martial Soul, perfect Spirit Rings, and powerful Spirit Skills!
A Spirit Saint was truly terrifying!
"Awoo—"
Zygarde casually bit a Wolf Bandit to death, and a trace of longing appeared in its eyes.
The battle continued, but judging by the situation, this one-sided farce would end soon!
"Wait! What's that?"
Suddenly, Bai Mu noticed a hazy, translucent figure that had somehow slipped around the battlefield and was already near the carriage!
An especially massive Wolf Bandit with green fur suddenly pounced out. Its thick, powerful wolf claw smashed down, shattering the ice armor in an instant!
It raised its claw and tore through the luxurious, sturdy carriage, instantly exposing two delicate girls with similar features but somewhat different hair colors.
The sudden turn of events made both girls' faces go pale.
"Ah!"
A cruel, lecherous look appeared on the Green Wolf Bandit's face as it reached out toward the two girls!
"Bing'er! Yue'er!"
The beautiful woman's expression changed drastically when she realized something was wrong.
"Ice Seal!"
The blue-haired girl gathered her courage and activated her Spirit Skill with all her strength!
The Green Wolf Bandit had not expected the Spirit Skill to activate so quickly.
Before it could react, a layer of solid ice formed over its body, halting its movements.
Crack!
Almost in the next instant, the Wolf Bandit broke free of its restraints and lunged at the girls like a starving wolf pouncing on prey!
"Ah!"
The stench of blood rushed at them, and its claws were already before their faces. The two girls were so frightened that they nearly shut their eyes.
At that critical moment, two voices suddenly rang out—
Before you continue
