Kill!!!

"Lumi..." Sword light spilled like liquid mercury across the ground, shrouded beneath the hazy moonlight. It revolved like a disk, streaked with threads of bloody radiance as it cleaved through the air.

Su Bo slid down from the treetop along with the sword light.

Sshhk—!!

A line of blood tore open across the neck of the left wolf head of the three-headed wolf demon. Blood mist sprayed out, and the wolf head tilted crookedly, nearly severed completely by that strike.

After delivering the blow, Su Bo's steps moved like the wind as he flashed into the depths of the forest.

"Awwoo roar~" A miserable, howling wolf cry rang out.

The instant he vanished, the three-headed wolf demon wailed and collapsed to the ground, its massive body slamming down with a bang.

One of its heads was left hanging by only half a spine and a flap of flesh.

The searing pain and blood loss left it unable to stand straight. It staggered before falling to the ground.

Whoosh~

A violent, razor-sharp gale swept in. Another three-headed wolf demon came howling to its mate's side. The instant its three heads and six eyes saw the miserable state of its mate—

A furious roar spread through the dense forest.

"Roar~"

The three-headed wolf king let out an enraged howl, its four massive claws viciously gouging the earth. Its six eyes were crimson, and its intense killing intent and demonic aura corroded the trees with a sizzling sound.

It stared in the direction Su Bo had disappeared, wanting to give chase yet not daring to.

Its mate had suffered grave injuries. If it went after Su Bo, other demonic beasts might be drawn by the scent of blood, and its mate would likely die.

Each head of a Windsplit Wolf was equivalent to one of its lives.

Losing a life would leave a Windsplit Wolf gravely weakened, making recovery difficult in the short term.

"Awooo..."

The female wolf, one head severed, staggered to her feet and let out a shrill howl at the wolf king, urging it to pursue Su Bo, that two-legged beast.

Her eyes were filled with bloody light, brimming with savage killing intent.

The wolf king hesitated. "Roarow—"

"Awoo..." The female wolf let out a pleading cry.

Roar!!

The wind blew through the forest, making the leaves rustle and hiss. Riding the wind, the wolf king vanished from where it stood, leaving only the heavily wounded female wolf struggling and stumbling to her feet.

Then, its middle head suddenly bit down on the nearly severed head to its left.

Sshhk—

"Awoooooo—"

Blood spurted, and a miserable cry of agony spread through the forest.

It had forcibly bitten off its own left head, crushed it in one bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it straight into its stomach.

After the head was swallowed, faint blood light curled around the severed wound, stopping the spraying blood.

It seemed that eating its own head could restore its vitality. After resting briefly, the female wolf erupted with a violent gale and shot away with a howl.

It was going to devour the two-legged beast that had injured it!

"Wroo~"

Su Bo, racing over dead leaves and branches, suddenly paused before quickening his pace even further.

Even through the layers of dense forest between them, he could sense the wolf king's terrifying aura behind him, sweeping over him with dreadful malice.

Windsplit Wolves possessed an affinity with the wind. They were far faster than he was.

Damn it~

Su Bo cursed inwardly. "You were the ones who chased me down first. I only fought back..."

Did they really have to keep hunting him so relentlessly? He had fought as he fled, been pursued for days and nights, and had covered at least two or three hundred li through this forest.

Yet he still had not shaken off the wolf demon pack's encirclement.

Fortunately, he was extremely strong, only slightly weaker than the two wolf kings among the wolf demons.

If he ambushed them, Su Bo was still confident he could grievously wound one as he had just done. Unfortunately, a wolf's sense of smell was no worse than a dog's.

That earlier ambush had barely succeeded after he spent an entire day setting it up.

Yet he had still been one move short. His sword had been aimed at the female wolf's middle head, but at the last instant, she avoided the vital point. He could only sever the head on her left.

He had not even had time to finish her off before the wolf king, her mate, came racing over on the wind. If he did not leave, he would have to fight the wolf king head-on.

One against two...

Only a fool would do that!

He landed in a corner of the forest and slowly circulated his qi and blood, rapidly recovering his stamina and the blood energy he had expended while continuously concealing his aura.

He would try to see whether he could ambush the wolf king once more.

The wind howled into crashing waves, battering every corner of the forest. The enormous demonic wolf king burst fiercely from the woods and landed on the ground.

The moment it landed, the wolf king's three heads twisted in different directions, staring fixedly at the shadows beneath the trees.

Drops of foul-smelling saliva fell from its jaws. With a hiss, a rotten stench spread through the air, drifting faintly among the trees.

"Roar roar roar~~"

All three wolf heads roared in unison. Dozens of wind blades formed in an instant, explosively tearing through the air as they shot straight into the forest shadows.

At almost the same instant, Su Bo spun out from the shadows in the woods, twisting as he sprang forward. Skimming close to the ground, it was as though a gust beneath his feet propelled him directly at the wolf king.

A gleaming sword light steeped in threads of blood energy collided with the wind blades.

More than a dozen wind blades were shredded. Su Bo passed through them, the blood energy on his sword also scattered by the strikes, and the large and small figures collided.

Wolf roars, wolf howls, and the sound of sharp claws rending the air.

Sword light, blood energy, and exquisitely precise sword techniques collided fiercely, the two locked in a savage melee as sparks burst from the heart of each clash.

Every strike and pounce from wolf and man alike carried the force of tens of thousands of jin.

The shockwaves tore the surrounding trees into shattered remnants. In only a short while, they plowed through dozens of meters of ground.

The Luminous Sword Art in Su Bo's hands flowed like splashed ink, forming an impregnable line of defense.

No matter how the wolf king bit, pounced, or constantly spat wind blades at him, it could not break through his defense or harm Su Bo in the slightest.

But Su Bo's sword had only one word to describe it—fast!

The Luminous Sword Art was swift as a meteor streaking across the heavens, crossing the starry sky in an instant. Thus, the sword light flickered like a meteor, bright one moment and dim the next.

It was so fast that one could not even tell where it would attack from in the next instant.

"Awoo~~" An unwilling, furious howl rang out as several streams of blood sprayed from the wolf king's body. Its fur was torn open, revealing the tender flesh beneath.

Blood had already soaked its pelt through, turning its indigo fur blood-red.

It looked as though Su Bo held every advantage. If the battle continued, once the wolf king bled dry and exhausted its strength, it would have no choice but to let him slaughter it.

In truth, Su Bo could not voice his suffering.

In terms of expenditure, his depletion seemed far greater than the wolf king's.

Moreover, Su Bo could sense that the wolf king had not yet fought with all its strength. It was stalling for time, waiting for that slightly weaker wolf king.

That was why this beast kept holding him back and refusing to let him leave.

Whenever Su Bo had a chance to escape, its offensive would instantly become sharper, and it would not hesitate to take wounds just to spit a faceful of wind blades at him.

The sword light flickered, bright and dim.

Su Bo's heart sank, and a phantom figure walking upon the waves of a vast blue sea reflected in his eyes.

If he could not leave, then he would kill!

The wolf king was stalling, but he too was waiting for an opportunity.

And besides, his martial divine intent... had broken through!
