Chapter 47 Shadowless Step - 9th Acupoint! Fierce Battle Against the Demon Wolf!
Several hours later.
"Be careful!"
Wang Yichuan's voice came from the side, carrying a clear sense of urgency.
Su Chen didn't have time to turn his head to look, because he had already caught a glimpse of the dark shadow swooping down from the treetop out of the corner of his eye.
A three-eyed demon wolf at the peak of the soldier level!
Using the branches of the dead tree, it moved nimbly, each step increasing its speed by a notch.
As it spurted from the last branch, the whole tree shook violently, and dead branches fell down in a flurry.
Heading straight for Su Chen!
Su Chen's expression instantly turned serious.
His right hand suddenly gripped the hilt of the long sword, and the blade spun half a circle in his palm.
The three-eyed wolf opened its mouth in mid-air, its eyes fixed on Su Chen's throat.
paw!
Its front claws extended, revealing five hook-shaped claws that gleamed with a chilling light.
Su Chen turned to the side, raising his blade to block the attack.
"clang!!"
A crisp, metallic clang rang out.
The force was much greater than expected!
Su Chen felt a sudden numbness in his hand, and the long sword almost slipped from his grasp.
The second claw followed immediately.
Faster speed, more challenging angles!
The movement was a diagonal slash from the lower left to the upper right, targeting Su Chen's chest and shoulders.
Su Chen did not take the hit head-on.
His foot moved...
Shadowless Step!
The spiritual energy within his body erupted at an unprecedented rate in that instant.
The warm air current rises from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, passes through Taixi, Zhaohai, and Yinlingquan, goes all the way up, then to Xuehai and Jimen, and finally merges into the Dai Mai meridian.
He felt as if all the weight had been removed from his legs, making them as light as a feather.
In a fraction of a second, his body shifted half a step to the side, barely avoiding the claw strike.
The sharp claws almost grazed his chest; he could feel the force of the wind!
The three-eyed wolf's body was still falling.
Su Chen seized the opportunity, pushed off the ground, and launched himself to the side and backward.
Stomp!
Stomp again!
His toes tapped the trunk of the dead tree several times, and he hovered briefly in the canopy.
Afterimage!
......
Wang Yichuan originally wanted to rush over to help, but when he saw that Su Chen had successfully withstood the attack, he was surprised and relieved.
Two mid-level soldier-grade demonic wolves were already attacking from both sides.
Their coordination was extremely good; one feigned an attack from the front, while the other flanked from the side.
Wang Yichuan shifted his feet, using the Shadowless Step to its fullest extent, briefly lifting his body into the air to dodge the first attack.
He flipped half a circle in the air, tucked his right fist to his waist, gathered his strength, and then unleashed a powerful punch!
Mountain-Splitting Fist!
The vortex condensed on the fist and slammed into the side ribs of the second demon wolf.
"Bang!"
The wolf was blasted away and crashed into a dead tree. The trunk trembled violently, and several dead branches broke off and fell to the ground.
But its body twisted in mid-air, and its four paws landed firmly on the ground.
The bones weren't broken, just some concussion.
Wang Yichuan frowned.
The skin is too thick!
......
On the other side, Su Chen's body moved at high speed through the canopy.
He touched the bare branch with his toes, swung out, and landed on the trunk of another tree. He touched the branch again and swung again.
The peak-level soldier-class demonic wolf chasing him below kept relentlessly pursuing his trajectory.
Along the way, two low-level demonic wolves at the soldier level attempted to intercept them.
A creature lunged at him from the side. Without even looking, Su Chen swept his longsword horizontally, the blade striking the creature's head and knocking it to the side.
There was no fatal injury, but the force caused it to lose its balance briefly and fall from mid-air.
The other one fared even worse; Su Chen stomped on it hard, using the momentum to propel it forward, and the wolf was kicked so hard that it crashed heavily to the ground.
The three-eyed demon wolf at the peak of soldier level is enraged!
"Roar~"
It raised its head and let out a roar.
Demon's Roar!
The sound waves, carrying psionic vibrations, spread outwards.
Su Chen felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.
hum~
A strong feeling of dizziness suddenly struck.
The scene in my field of vision began to shake, and my hand-eye coordination momentarily faltered.
The support under my feet suddenly disappeared, and my body fell uncontrollably downwards.
In that critical moment...
His legs were burning hot.
It was as if something had been ignited in the acupoints, and a surge of scalding spiritual energy flowed out from the soles of the feet, flowing upstream along the path of the Shadowless Step.
Acupoints!
Something has changed!
In that instant, Su Chen's consciousness locked onto that location: the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, Xiyangguan acupoint!
The ninth acupoint for the Shadowless Step!
Under the pressure of battle and the thrill of life and death, it loosened its grip.
Using this force, Su Chen twisted his body in mid-air, forcefully stabilizing his center of gravity, and landed on a thick tree branch.
But the three-eyed wolf gave him no chance to catch his breath.
It suddenly accelerated in the air, its limbs kicking in the void, and it accelerated again, producing a faint whooshing sound.
This speed is at least 20% faster than before!
Su Chen had no time to dodge and could only raise his knife to block.
"Boom!"
The blade blocked that gaping maw full of fangs.
But the force was too great; Su Chen was thrown backward, his arms went numb, and he lost his balance in mid-air.
The main unit of the energy protection device at the waist emitted a short beep.
A pale blue light shield flashed across Su Chen's body for a moment, then quickly disappeared.
The attack intensity triggered the Guardian's judgment!
Although it was only active for less than half a second, the shield automatically deactivated.
But that means the wolf's attack was powerful enough to penetrate armor and damage internal organs.
Using the momentum, Su Chen lightly touched the tree trunk with his toes, dissipating most of the force and regaining his balance.
But the demon wolf didn't give him any time to adjust.
After landing, it pushed off with all four limbs and pounced again, its speed increasing rather than decreasing.
The gaping maw rapidly enlarged in the field of vision.
Su Chen could even see the black light gathering deep in its throat.
It looks like the energy protector is about to be triggered again.
At this critical moment...
"Awoo~!"
A silver-white figure shot in from the side.
Lightning Release!
Xiao Zi's figure disappeared from the spot, turning into a dazzling blue lightning bolt, which traversed the battlefield in a Z-shaped trajectory.
The bolt of lightning struck five demonic wolves that were trying to attack Wang Yichuan, Zhang Yan, and Li Yu within a fraction of a second, knocking them off balance and instantly thwarting their attack, thus relieving a significant amount of pressure.
Then...
boom!
The lightning bolt slammed into the peak soldier-level demonic wolf in the air.
Little Purple!
In his Lightning Release state, he traversed a distance of over fifty meters in a fraction of a second.
"Roar~!"
The wolf was knocked off its original flight path, tumbling twice in the air before breaking a thick tree branch to barely regain its balance.
Its three eyes locked onto Little Purple, and a low, threatening growl escaped its throat.
Little Purple landed, its limbs slightly bent, its back arched, and lightning flashed among its silvery-white fur as it stared back at it defiantly.
Wind and Thunder Claw!
Little Purple leaped up suddenly, slashing out with its right claw. Azure lightning tore through the air as it charged towards the demon wolf.
The wolf's reaction was also quick.
A light black film instantly appeared on its surface, like the surface of a rock after magma has cooled.
"Boom!"
The wind and thunder claws slammed into the shield, causing the black light membrane to vibrate violently and crack in several places, but it did not break.
Xiao Zi's all-out attack was blocked!
The demonic wolf roared, and the ball of black light in its mouth had already condensed and could be shot out at any moment.
Su Chen moved.
His leg acupoints were in an unprecedentedly active state, and the scalding spiritual energy propelled his Shadowless Step, making him so fast that even he himself found it unbelievable.
He touched the tree trunk with his toes, swung his body out, landed on the branch of another tree, and touched it again.
Afterimage!
Two, three, four.
He drew a smooth arc in mid-air, cutting in from the wolf's side and rear.
He raised his long sword.
Swipe it down!
The blade struck the demon wolf squarely in the side, precisely where the shield had been cracked by the Little Purple Wind and Thunder Claw earlier.
"Pfft~!"
The sharp long knife tore through the black membrane and cut into the flesh.
But it was clamped by the muscle after only cutting in less than two fingers deep.
The wolf, in pain, twisted its massive body violently, throwing Su Chen and his sword away.
Its three eyes turned to Su Chen, filled with resentment.
This weak human actually injured himself?
The demon wolf immediately shifted its target, aiming the black light from its mouth at Su Chen.
"Little Purple! Thunder Roar! Thunder Fang! Break through its defenses! Create an opportunity for me!"
Before the words were even finished, Xiao Zi had already moved.
"Awooo!"
Lightning erupted from deep within Xiao Zi's throat, slamming fiercely into the side of the demon wolf.
The wolf's shield trembled violently, and more cracks appeared on the black light membrane.
Raiya followed closely behind!
Little Purple leaped up suddenly, lightning exploding between its upper and lower jaws, and bit down hard on the weakest point of the shield.
"Click~"
The shield shattered!
Su Chen drew the Hunter-type kinetic submachine gun from behind his back and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da da da~"
The gun muzzle spewed out a tongue of fire half a foot long, unleashing fifty rounds in just two and a half seconds.
The metal jet precisely covered the wolf's head.
The black light from the wolf's mouth failed to be emitted; instead, it detonated the energy in front of it, creating a brief energy burst.
Black fog and smoke exploded instantly, obscuring the view.
But Su Chen didn't let go; the trigger remained pressed, and the spent cartridges were still bouncing.
He has a control panel!
Amidst the thick smoke and black fog, the dire wolf's translucent panel remained clearly visible.
HP is dropping rapidly.
350/417
300 / 417 ...
"Roar~!"
The wolf let out a painful howl.
The smoke dissipated.
The wolf's head was riddled with bullet holes and was a bloody mess.
Two of the three eyes were rotten, and dark red liquid was flowing from the eye sockets.
That single eye was fixed on Su Chen...
Su Chen scoffed, "Hmph! You want to take another round? Can you handle it!?"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three muffled gunshots rang out from behind Su Chen.
Yang Xin!
The heavy rifle in her hand fired three 15mm heavy bullets.
The bullet landed precisely near the wound on the wolf's head.
The first shot blew a hole in its skull.
The second shot pierced his neck, causing blood to gush out.
The third shot...
The wolf's last eye was also injured, and it fell from mid-air, clearly much weaker.
86/417 (Negative Status: Severe Bleeding)
Su Chen did not hesitate.
He gripped the long sword again with his right hand and charged forward.
He leaps up, pushes off the ground with his toes, raises his sword, and slashes!
The blade struck the wolf's head wound squarely.
"Pfft~!"
Dark red blood gushed out, splattering all over Su Chen.
The wolf's body convulsed violently a few times.
Then, it stopped moving.
Su Chen landed, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
His hands and clothes were covered in blood, which was still dripping.
Warm!
Sweet and fishy!
But Su Chen didn't feel disgusted or scared.
He felt a surge of hot blood coursing through his bones.
happy!
That was satisfying!
