75 The Fight In The Forest 3

The starry sky was visible in the open space surrounding the cave. Wang Li Tian laid upon the makeshift leave bed and looked upwards. His thoughts ran about, reminiscing the times when he watched the stars with his master. They would always enjoy a hearty meal of demonic beast meat over an open campfire. Mu Zhi Xuan would even tell him stories about the Martial Continent.

Though he couldn't really remember those stories in detail, the experience of having company was what Wang Li Tian cherished most. The light breeze of wind could be felt over his face, making the atmosphere more relaxed. Yet, Wang Li Tian did not let his guard down. He was waiting. It was the calm before the storm.

Cladded in a metallic fur cover, a predator of the middle regions waited several hundred meters away from the cave belonging to the Thunder Bear. It bared dangerous sharp fangs from its mouth as it looked at the unfamiliar youth lying on the ground. The demonic beast that was peeking secretly was a Silverfang Wolf. It was a Grade three demonic beast that commanded a pack of Grade two wolf beasts. Wang Li Tian was the one that had killed one of its underlings.

The Silverfang Wolf waited patiently behind the shrub covers. The Silverfang's remaining five underlings stood behind it quietly. They were waiting for Wang Li Tian to fall asleep. Under the cover of the dim moonlight, they would strike him swiftly.

Unfortunately, the ploy of the Silverfang Wolf was seen through by Wang Li Tian. Ever since he fought the grade two wolf beast, his eye of the discerning was able to perceive a group of hidden enemies. No matter how well they hid themselves, Wang Li Tian would be able to looks into the changes in spiritual energy. Currently, Wang Li Tian was 'sleeping'.

It was time for the pack of wolves to launch their sneak attack. The Silverfang wolf walked with soundless steps, naturally moving along with the wind. Eventually, they were only 10 footsteps separating Wang Li TIan and the wolf party.

"You have finally decided to show yourself." Wang Li Tian propelled himself to his feet as he held onto his sheathed sword tightly.

The Silverfang wolf was obviously surprised that the human was able to perceive its presence, yet it did not retreat in fear. The demonic beast regulated its spiritual energy, releasing its bloodlust aura.

"Awoooo!" With a howl, the five grade two wolf beasts spread out to surround Wang Li Tian. They held onto their attack position, awaiting for their leader's command.

Wang Li Tian's body started to circulate his Braveheart Aura at a rapid pace. He too, was prepared for a fight. He was even ready to stake his life on this battle.

"I have not used this move ever since Mr. Dragon left this world," Wang Li Tian spoke to the wolves as if they could understand what he could say, "But you have forced my hand."

"Awooo! Awoooo!" With two consecutive howls, the Silverfang Wolf instructed the five wolves to attack together. The demonic beasts pounced forward, each were aiming for the limbs and body. It was then…

"Quickdraw Advanced Style - Dragon's Spiral!"

With powerful sword intent, Wang Li Tian swung his body in a circular manner. At the same time, he unsheathed his blade, under the intent to curve his blade strikes in the same manner. As a result, it formed a tornado effect, striking the critical points of the wolves, which was the neck.

In an instant, the combined force attack was mitigated in the blink of an eye. What followed were the deaths of the five grade two wolves. For the first time, the Silverfang Wolf was instilled with a deep fear. The young human in front of it looked scarier than the other apex grade three demonic beasts in the forest.

"You are next." Wang Li Tian kept his blade habitually. The Quickdraw sword style worked best with a sheathed sword. He stepped up to the grade three beast, unafraid.

Knowing that its death was eminent if it did not do something, the Silverfang Wolf started to glow with a bright sheen, as the once soft fur had transformed into sharp metal blades. It was both a defensive and offensive ability of the Silverfang Wolf that allowed it to deal critical damage to its enemies.

"Awoo!" The Silverfang Wolf's metallic fur was released outwards as it flew towards Wang Li Tian in every direction. The youth focused up. Once again, he executed his sword technique.

"Quickdraw Advanced Style - Dragon's Spiral!"

The spinning spiral blocked every single needle-like fur. Straight after, Wang Li Tian proceeded to dash towards the Silverfang Wolf. He did not want to give the demonic beast any time to retaliate.

"Quickdraw "Quickdraw 2nd Style - Lunge." Controlling part of his Braveheart aura to move towards the blade, Wang Li Tian sent out a devilishly quick attack on the wolf's side.

"Schingg…" Compared to the grade two wolf beast, the Silverfang's tough defence prevented an extremely deep cut on its body. Instead, it left a minor 1 centimetre deep wound.

"Grrrr…" The wolf growled in pain. As Wang Li Tian backed off from the unsuccessful attack, the grade three Silverfang wolf decided to use its most powerful ability. Under the moonlit sky, the demonic beast started to convert its spiritual energy into moon energy. It was a form of extreme yin energy, the type that if permeated into the human body, it could result in the frostbite of organs.

The Silverfang wolf's fang started to glow brightly like the moon. With killing intent, the demonic beast bursted forward towards the young Li Tian.
