What Is That

The Frost Cat that had flown above the black wolf pack suddenly opened its mouth and condensed a massive fireball.

Once the fireball had fully formed, it suddenly dropped from the sky and blasted toward the black wolves.

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One fireball after another fell from the sky, all exploding amid the black wolf pack. Each blast sent several black wolves flying.

This barrage of fireballs immediately threw the black wolf formation into chaos, and some of the wolves even began to retreat.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several more fireballs formed and crashed into the black wolf pack, killing several black wolves.

This deepened the black wolves' desire to flee. Some had already turned and run away.

Awooo!!

The majestic howl of a wolf rang out again, echoing across the area.

With that howl, the chaotic black wolf pack regained order. The wolves that had been preparing to flee returned to the formation, their eyes blood-red as they stared into the sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Wind blades shot up from within the black wolf pack. Ten Black Iron-rank black wolves hidden among the pack began launching wind blade attacks.

Such lightning-fast attacks were the hardest to evade. Ordinary summoned beasts could easily lose their lives to them.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, the cat in the sky used Wind Wings to evade those wind blades with great ease. It even retaliated with several fireballs.

This left the black wolves at a disadvantage, and for the moment, they had no idea how to deal with the Frost Cat.

However, the Black Wolf King was very clever. Without hesitation, it ordered the pack to continue attacking the village and slaughter the villagers.

"Prepare for battle!"

The old village chief shouted hurriedly. The rapid changes in the situation had greatly shocked everyone, but they had also bought the villagers quite a bit of time.

Although they still had to face the terrifying number of black wolves and could still be killed, the villagers knew that after reforming their formation, their chances of survival had increased a little.

But just as hope rose in everyone's hearts—

The Black Wolf King stepped out from the wolf pack, appearing at the front with ten Black Iron-rank black wolves and assuming an attacking stance.

"It's over! The Wolf King is going to act personally! We're finished!"

Despair filled the old village chief's eyes. He collapsed onto the ground, staring like a dead man at the desperate scene about to unfold.

The surrounding villagers also watched in despair. They had already suffered heavy casualties against ordinary black wolves. If the Black Wolf King acted personally, the village would be wiped out in an instant.

This outcome filled everyone with despair. Even Lu Tian, who had always been tough-minded, chose to give up.

But at that moment—

Just as the villagers waited to be slaughtered by the Black Wolf King, another unexpected change occurred.

Meow~

A thunderous cry echoed in every direction. Along with it, a white cat as massive as an iron tower descended from the sky and crashed into the black wolf pack with a deafening boom.

The terrifying shadow's descent instantly crushed a huge number of black wolves to death, throwing the entire pack into complete chaos.

Seizing the chance, the iron-tower-like white cat swung its claws violently and began a frenzied assault. Icy frost spread beneath its feet, freezing everything around it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull impacts rang out again and again. With every sound, black wolves were sent flying, screaming and wailing amid sprays of blood.

The towering cat paid no heed to anything else, slaughtering black wolves like it had entered an empty land. It charged and rampaged through the pack, killing everything in its path.

This sudden reversal stunned not only the villagers of Willow Tree Village, but even the Black Wolf King. It stared at the Frost Cat like an idiot.

No matter how hard the Black Wolf King thought, it could not understand how an ordinary Frost Cat had suddenly become so huge and so terrifying.

Its mind muddled, the Black Wolf King shook its head, suspecting it was hallucinating. But even after shaking its head, it still saw the cat slaughtering black wolves in a frenzy.

This completely enraged the Black Wolf King. Filled with overwhelming fury, it prepared to act personally and kill the white cat.

Awooo!!

With a majestic wolf howl, the Black Wolf King led its ten Black Iron-rank subordinates in a frenzied charge toward the Frost Cat.

With the Black Wolf King joining the fight, the Frost Cat's slaughter was instantly impeded. The two sides began a life-and-death battle amid the wolf pack.

Facing the powerful Black Wolf King, a Bronze-rank Black Wolf King, along with numerous Black Iron-rank black wolves, the Frost Cat was instantly pushed into a disadvantage.

After fighting for only a short while, the Frost Cat was already covered in wounds and dripping with blood.

This scene made the villagers of Willow Tree Village deeply worried, while the Black Wolf King wore a gloating expression.

But at that moment—

A bizarre sight appeared.

White light emerged around the wounded white cat's body. As the light shone, its injuries actually healed.

This scene instantly left the Black Wolf King dumbfounded. It stared blankly at the lively Frost Cat.

Meow!

Li Xuan cried out, and dragon's might enveloped a vast area, intimidating the black wolves in every direction. At the same time, he relied on his incredible speed and terrifying size to fight wildly.

This was the first time he had unleashed his true strength and used his talents without restraint.

In this battle, with the aid of his many talents, he, despite being only an ordinary summoned beast, charged in and out of the black wolf pack seven times, slaughtering them relentlessly.

Such strength gave Li Xuan a rough assessment of his own power, and made him look forward even more to the combat strength he would possess after acquiring more talents in the future.

"Keep killing. Today, I'll kill to my heart's content, turn everything upside down, and then let you taste the art of explosions!"

Li Xuan revealed a faint smile. His cat claws flashed rapidly as he charged through the pack, repeatedly swatting several black wolves into the air. Like a war god, he wreaked havoc among the black wolves.

Three kilometers from Willow Tree Village.

Within the dense forest.

Five armored figures raced through the woods, accompanied by their summoned beasts as they hurried toward Willow Tree Village.

These people carried powerful auras, as though they had experienced many battles.

The armored woman leading them had already reached the upper Black Iron rank, only a step away from Black Iron rank perfection.

"Captain, we can't keep going forward. I admit you're strong, but with only the five of us, we can't possibly defeat the Black Wolf King. It's Bronze-rank!"

The vice-captain ran beside the armored woman, doing his best to persuade her, his face filled with worry.

"I'm the town's guard officer. A village under my jurisdiction is under attack—how could I possibly stand by and do nothing? Today, I have to save them!"

The armored woman's expression was resolute as she gripped her spear and darted swiftly through the forest.

"But among the five of us, only four are Black Iron-rank. Xiao Ru hasn't even reached Black Iron rank. What can we use to fight the Black Wolf King? That Black Wolf King has at least ten Black Iron-rank subordinates, not to mention thousands upon thousands of ordinary black wolves, with the Black Wolf King itself as their strongest fighter. With that kind of strength, going there would be suicide!" the vice-captain said loudly, continuing to persuade her.

"But I'm the guard officer. I have the responsibility and duty to protect them. Are you asking me to watch helplessly as Willow Tree Village is destroyed?"

The armored woman questioned him with reddened eyes, her sprint not slowing in the slightest.

"Reinforcements from the city are on their way. They'll definitely arrive within half an hour. Captain, you're exceptionally talented and have limitless potential. You can't throw your life away here."

The vice-captain spoke solemnly, continuing to urge the armored woman.

"Half an hour? Half an hour is enough for the Black Wolf King to destroy Willow Tree Village twice over. What would be the point of reinforcements arriving then?" the armored woman shouted, her eyes red.

"No, it would still matter. I have a way to buy time," the vice-captain suddenly said.

"You have a way? What way?" The armored woman froze, then hurriedly asked.

"It's simple. Old Second, Old Third, and I will stop the wolf pack. You and Xiao Ru stay behind. Leave the fighting to us men."

The vice-captain grinned. Under the sunlight, his weathered face somehow looked a little more handsome.

"That's your plan? The three of you go die while Xiao Ru and I spend the rest of our lives drowning in guilt? Do you think I'd agree? Do you think Xiao Ru would?"

The armored woman smiled, tightening her grip around her spear as her pace quickened.

"Vice-Captain, you underestimate me. No matter what, I'm from the Yang Family. The Yang Family's sons and daughters have never feared death!"

Running at the rear, Xiao Ru tried her best to pick up speed. Though she was panting heavily from exhaustion, her steps remained exceptionally firm.

Hearing this, the vice-captain looked at the expressions on the armored woman's and Xiao Ru's faces. He wanted to say something, but did not know how to begin.

In the end, he could only sigh, grip the battle saber in his hand tightly, and quicken his pace. He was prepared to lead from the front. Even if he died, he would be the first to die!

Amid the oppressive atmosphere, the group quickly reached the edge of the forest, where they caught the thick scent of blood.

"Willow Tree Village lies beyond the forest. Everyone, be careful!"

The armored woman shouted sharply. Her body abruptly accelerated as she burst from the forest and looked toward Willow Tree Village.

The moment she looked, her eyes suddenly widened. "W-what is that?"

Is no one going to leave a five-star review?
