Oh Ho, Familiar Old Wolves

Using Wind-Treading Step, Su Bo stepped in like he had teleported, blocking the fleeing monkey's path. With one sweep of his large hand, he grabbed hold of that monkey face twisted in utter terror.

"No, don't..." The monkey shrieked in terror.

A violent roar of blood and qi erupted, battering against Su Bo's hand. The monkey clenched both fists and hammered at him, making waves of bloody light flare across Su Bo's body.

But it did not hurt him in the slightest.

Feeling the ugly monkey's punching strength, Su Bo frowned. "A first-rank sequence is this weak?"

"Liu Yue is stronger than you..."

"Don't kill me, I'm... urgh~" The ugly monkey tried to announce his identity.

Bang~

A violent force squeezed down...

Flesh and blood exploded, spraying a mist of blood through the air. A headless body collapsed limply to the ground. The ugly monkey was dead beyond doubt.

Su Bo waited for a while, his expression strange. "Where's the substitute-death method?"

"Second-rank sequence geniuses can have one, but first-rank sequence geniuses don't?"

"Or did the life-substitution method fail?"

He looked around at where he was: a vibrant valley and a star gate, slightly smaller than the star gate on Beast Planet.

There was no sign of Liu Yue or Yi You either.

It seemed the two of them had either emerged from different star gates or been sent back.

Guys like that probably could not have beaten them. He was both trash and weak, with no chance of defeating either of them.

What a waste of Su Bo's expectations for first-rank sequences.

After surveying the valley, Su Bo saw nothing but the humming star gate in operation and headed straight outside.

He had already sensed several powerful auras drawing near.

The scattered remains and smell of blood on the ground had done their job, drawing in a group of big creatures.

Monkey: ...

"So you were a gatekeeper~" Su Bo said darkly as he walked out of the valley.

At the valley entrance, Su Bo turned and patted the air. An invisible wall blocked his hand. Once he left the valley, he could not return.

If he could not go back, then so be it~

He had not planned on returning anyway. Besides, there were surprises waiting outside, so he was quite happy.

A rustling came from the dense forest, accompanied by the heavy thuds of massive bodies stepping on the ground.

Soon, wolves with green light glowing in their eyes appeared at the valley entrance.

"Oh ho, familiar old wolves~" Su Bo laughed cheerfully.

Blue-green fur, enormous bodies—giant wolves with one head, giant wolves with two heads, and the largest, fiercest giant wolf with three heads.

One Windsplit Wolf after another sprang out of the forest, surrounding Su Bo and glaring viciously at him.

Among them, the largest and fiercest Windsplit Wolf turned its three enormous heads. Six eyes stared at Su Bo with naked malice.

Windsplit Wolves... the wolf king, the Three-Headed Windsplit Wolf!

He had learned this wolf pack's name from Yi You.

"Awooo..."

A long, eerie howl rang out. The pack's gazes abruptly locked onto Su Bo. They lowered their bodies slightly, their forepaws scraping fiercely at the ground.

The next instant, dozens of giant wolves charged.

This wolf pack was far stronger than the ones Su Bo had encountered before. Even the weakest Windsplit Wolf was comparable to a martial artist at the sixth stage of body tempering.

The wolves closed in, saliva dripping from their fangs as a foul, bloody gale rushed at him.

The Three-Headed Windsplit Wolf king leading them was far more terrifying than the two he had encountered last time. Demonic power wrapped around its body, mixed with terrifyingly sharp gusts of wind.

It lowered its body, opened its massive jaws wide, and lunged straight for Su Bo's head.

Then, a burst of wind force shot from its mouth, transforming into countless wind blades that fired at him.

The other Windsplit Wolves did the same. Their pounce was merely a feint; halfway through their charge, they all spat out streams of wind blades, forming a vast net that covered the sky.

Su Bo was completely shrouded within the wind net.

"I thought you were really going to pounce on me." Su Bo grumbled.

"So crafty..."

Boom!!~

Su Bo neither dodged nor evaded. He met the wind net head-on with both fists, and the blood and qi throughout his body erupted. His force of hundreds of thousands of jin tore apart the wind net formed by the blades.

He stomped on the ground, shattering it. Wind-Treading Step surged to its limit, and in a single step, he crossed dozens of meters and appeared at the wolf king's side.

A punch shot out...

"Awoooh..." A miserable howl rang out.

The wolf king's enormous middle head exploded on the spot. Its huge body flew backward and smashed heavily into the mountain wall, half of it shattered beyond recognition.

It was dead beyond doubt as well!

With the Three-Headed Windsplit Wolf king dead, the remaining wolves immediately began howling madly.

Their ghostly green eyes instantly turned blood-red. One giant wolf after another roared and charged at Su Bo with no regard for their lives, opening their bloody maws to bite him.

Some giant wolves spat out wind blades, looking as though they would not rest until one side was dead.

Others slashed with their claws, tearing through the air as streaks of cold light targeted Su Bo's limbs, chest, abdomen, and other vital areas.

Su Bo charged straight into the pack. His body weaved and darted among the wolves as his fists crashed down again and again with brutal force.

Even the wolf king, nearly comparable to blood refinement becoming aura, could not withstand a single punch from him. Much less these Windsplit Wolves, which were at most at the ninth stage of body tempering, or the seventh or eighth stage.

His fierce strength meant death at a touch. A wolf would explode outright even if it merely grazed his body.

One giant wolf tried to sneak up from the side. It rushed to Su Bo's flank, opened its mouth, and spat out wind blades, but Su Bo cut them off the instant they formed.

Both hands clamped down hard on the Windsplit Wolf's muzzle. With a twist and a squeeze, he tore it right off.

Then he twisted his waist and dodged the attacks of two Windsplit Wolves. Raising his hands, he brought down palm strike after palm strike onto their heads.

Four wolf heads exploded with bang, bang, bang, turning into clouds of blood mist.

Blood and gore splattered everywhere around the valley entrance as one Windsplit Wolf after another fell beneath Su Bo's fists and palms.

At last, many Windsplit Wolves began to grow afraid. They no longer dared attack Su Bo, and when he charged toward them—

The Windsplit Wolves tucked their tails and turned to flee, whimpering continuously.

"You come when you want and leave when you want?" Su Bo took a step forward. Wind-Treading Step was like riding the wind and waves, carrying him in a flash dozens or even hundreds of meters away.

In just a few steps, he caught up to the fleeing pack. One palm strike per wolf, one punch per wolf...

Very soon, the final fleeing Windsplit Wolf died beneath his palm, its massive head turning into a pile of minced flesh.

The stench of blood drifted out from the valley entrance.

In the distance, the several auras Su Bo had sensed earlier had all stopped several li away, not daring to approach the valley any further.

They had also driven the Windsplit Wolves over to probe the valley's situation.

That monkey-faced fellow must have risen from another Trial Star. The disturbance at the star gate had drawn the attention of the demonic beasts outside.

The demonic beasts attracted by the star gate's activity had also trapped that monkey-faced fellow inside the valley, preventing him from leaving.

Su Bo had basically guessed the monkey-faced fellow's identity: a second-rank sequence genius from some Trial Star who had obtained an opportunity there and advanced to a first-rank sequence Trial Star.

Before he could even strut his stuff, a group of second-tier demonic beasts had blocked him at the valley entrance.

And then, when his ambush on Su Bo failed, there was only one word for it: dead!
