: One Man Against Three Wolves

Chapter 30 One Man Against Three Wolves

Flames dissipated, smoke swirled, and five demonic wolves perished in the crater, including the wolf leader who had advanced to the servant stage. Under mid-level magic, servant-level demons were all equally vulnerable, especially with the added power of the spirit seed; even warrior-level demons might not be able to withstand it.

Ling Tianyu let out a long breath, his eyes gleaming, his blood boiling, his pupils reflecting the furious figure of the three-headed, one-eyed demon wolf.

That was just an appetizer; for him, the real challenge had only just begun!

These demon wolves were taking a peaceful nap when Ling Tianyu disturbed their dreams. Their home was burned beyond recognition by flames, and their leader was killed by those damned humans. The hatred for their extermination is irreconcilable!

"Old Li, shouldn't we go down and help that kid? He's a low-level mage taking on three servant demons single-handedly. Let alone the one-eyed demon wolf, which is considered top-tier in terms of combat strength among servant-level monsters, even the three giant-eyed blood rats are not something an ordinary low-level mage can handle, right?"

Luo Bin completely failed to understand Li Shi's behavior. He just stood by and watched. Wasn't he afraid that such an outstanding genius would perish?

"If I said he asked for it himself, would you believe me?" Li Shi didn't answer directly, but asked in return.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Li's eyes, who had been silent all along.

"He asked for it himself? Did he want to gain experience? That's practically suicide!"

"Let's see! His plant-based control is very strong. Even if he's no match for him, he can hold out for a while."

…………

"Vine Pursuit!" Ling Tianyu immediately used a level 2 beginner spell. Several vines swept up, buried in the ground, and spread to the three demonic wolves, dragging them down like a green whirlwind.

"Plant-type attacks excel in control, but their offensive power is somewhat lacking..." Ling Tianyu sighed helplessly. After all, unlike lightning and fire, the only attack method of the plant type at the initial stage is similar to whipping. The mid-stage [Kun Forest] is also more inclined towards binding, and its weaknesses are obvious, making it severely countered by the shadow type. It is only after the high-stage [Ghost Wood Hand] attribute begins to focus on attack.

To make up for this deficiency, we can only work on the spiritual seed, which ultimately comes down to money!

"You can't use curses in front of the three of them. It's fine if Zhang Li and Luo Bin are both beginners, but Uncle Li, a mid-level mage, might be able to see through something. Try not to use them if you can, and if you do, control the number of times you use them so you can blame it on a special cursed artifact."

Previously, he might not have had a good solution for the one-eyed wolf, but...

With a thought, Ling Tianyu's gaze shifted to the sharp sword at his waist.

"So..."

Let's see how my first melee combat goes!

Ling Tianyu drew the [Taihong] sword, and his aura suddenly changed, becoming sharp and fierce, like a newly unsheathed sword.

The Taihong Sword must weigh several tens of kilograms. An ordinary person would probably have trouble even lifting it, let alone performing actions like "chopping" or "slashing".

In his past life, he had joined the school's kendo club out of interest and learned sword-wielding and sword-wielding techniques for several years. Although more than ten years had passed, fortunately, he still retained a lot of his memories.

"Blood Vine Armor!"

Ling Tianyu summoned his armored demonic artifact to strengthen his defense. Then, he contracted his leg muscles and flashed like an arrow in front of a one-eyed demonic wolf, before slashing down fiercely!

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out, and the one-eyed wolf felt a sharp pain in its leg, causing it to roar and struggle, attempting to fight back.

The smell of blood further stimulated the two one-eyed demon wolves beside him. Their eyes turned bloodshot, their strength increased dramatically, and the vines that had previously been barely binding them began to crack.

Naturally, Ling Tianyu wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He first slashed down the first demonic wolf's hind leg, disrupting its mobility. Then, with a flash of cold light, the belly of the second demonic wolf beside him was also split open, its organs flowing out of the laceration, and its life force rapidly fading away.

The bloodthirsty aura spread, mixed with the rotten smell unique to the one-eyed demon wolf. The feeling, the pungent smell, only those who smell it can understand!

"I've struck gold!" Ling Tianyu thought to himself with delight. The stall owner really hadn't exaggerated. The [Taihong] sword could hunt down servants and demons as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. He wondered what material it was made of.

Without Ling Tianyu's manipulation, the vines pounced like wolves, and the sharks, smelling the blood, swarmed forward, ignoring the stench, greedily absorbing the hidden blood and energy.

The blood shed by the demonic wolf was far from enough; the demonic vines even more greedily bound its wounds, branching out into even smaller vines that sucked nutrients like bloodsuckers to replenish themselves.

For the Demon Vine, this was a rare feast!

The demon wolf was terrified. For both humans and demons, the most terrifying thing is not being taken away immediately, but being conscious like this, yet unable to stop the slow passing of life. The dual torment of mind and body is enough to drive any normal person to a mental breakdown.

As the master of the demonic vines, Ling Tianyu knew they would never harm him; in fact, they would offer him a portion of their life force to help him grow.

But witnessing such a scene still made me feel awe. It was a pity that this plant-type skill was quite normal before, but now it seems that its skill points have gone astray. Such a good plant-type skill, but it is so obsessed with flesh and blood!

"Hehehe!"

The only surviving one-eyed demon wolf witnessed the tragic fate of its companion. Its blood boiled, its body glowed with a blood-red light, and its power doubled. It immediately pounced on Ling Tianyu!

"Damn it, I didn't expect this one-eyed demon wolf to have mastered sorcery!"

Generally speaking, servant-level demons only fight with their bare hands. They need to reach the advanced stage or even become warriors to master demonic arts, such as the Ghost Wolf Beast's [Flying Sand and Stones] or the One-Eyed Demon Wolf's [Blood Rage].

The attack was sudden, and Ling Tianyu was caught off guard by the wolf's claws. He took a solid hit, but fortunately, the Blood Vine Armor was strong enough. After undergoing plant-based assimilation, its hardness had been greatly improved, and it could withstand the wolf's attack without any problem.

Although his physical body was unharmed, the impact from its massive size was considerable, making Ling Tianyu feel as if he had been hit by a small truck, and his body slammed solidly into the trunk of a large tree behind him.

"Snap!"

This kind of shock-absorbing armor was almost useless. If he hadn't been so sturdy, he would have suffered at least a broken bone from this injury.

"Ouch~ That actually hurts!"

Ling Tianyu was in excruciating pain in his lower back, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth; he was seriously injured.

Indeed, no demon should be underestimated. Even if you have an absolute advantage, you must not let your guard down until the enemy is dead!

This lesson came at a good time; if Ling Tianyu had finished him off in time, the one-eyed wolf would never have been able to hurt him.

Despite the excruciating pain, Ling Tianyu supported himself and used all his strength to stand up, gripping the [Taihong] tightly in his hand, ready to unleash his power.

Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, the one-eyed wolf was overjoyed and mistakenly believed that Ling Tianyu had lost all ability to resist. Without any defense, it tore at Ling Tianyu's body.

"when!"

A flash of cold light appeared, and the one-eyed wolf's blue eye revealed an unbelievable sight: a sharp sword was stuck straight into it.

Ling Tianyu's strike ruthlessly pierced through the wolf's head, penetrating its skull and revealing the tip of his sword beneath its jaw. The wolf's life force was rapidly draining away, and it was clearly beyond saving.

In the end, Ling Tianyu emerged victorious in this battle.
