Chapter 49

In the early morning, at Green Mountain.

The sun had just risen, and the mountain path, overgrown with wild grass still wet with dew, already had footprints on it.

Wei Changfeng and Tie Yi, carrying simple backpacks, were heading deep into the mountain.

Like many hunters and treasure seekers, they left Jingyun City before dawn to start a new day of adventure and training.

Wei Changfeng chose the same route into the mountain as last time, but since not much time had passed, the previously discernible path was already covered by vines and branches.

Finding the correct path was not an easy task.

However, this time he was not alone; he had Tie Yi, a reliable companion, by his side.

Tie Yi was in his thirties, having studied martial arts for three years at a martial academy. He was currently at the fifth level of the Body Tempering stage.

His strength was not extremely powerful, but he had been in the hunting and treasure-seeking business for over a decade and was very familiar with the terrain around Green Mountain.

His weapon was a large iron ring-headed knife, and he mastered the Feather-grade Upper-class Fierce Wind Blade Technique. Combined with his robust physique, he could easily fight fierce beasts.

With Tie Yi leading the way, Wei Changfeng felt much more at ease.

No matter how thick and entangled the vines and branches were, he could cut them in half with one stroke, greatly increasing their speed.

However, it was truly strange. From morning until nearly noon, Wei Changfeng and Tie Yi did not encounter even a single wild rabbit.

Green Mountain was high and dense, home to countless animals and beasts. Even though the outer areas were often swept by hunters and treasure seekers, not encountering any prey for so long could only be attributed to bad luck.

This made Tie Yi uneasy, and he said, "I don't know what bad luck I've been having lately; everything is going wrong. I'll go to Yong'an Temple to burn some incense tomorrow."

Yong'an Temple was the largest and most famous temple in Jingyun City, with a renowned abbot. It was said that prayers were very effective, and the incense never stopped burning.

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Praying to the Buddha is not as good as relying on oneself. As the saying goes, 'After the worst, comes the best.' I think your luck..."

"Little Brother, be careful!"

Before Wei Changfeng could finish, Tie Yi suddenly shouted, his iron ring-headed knife swinging powerfully toward him.

Wei Changfeng felt a sudden warning in his heart and immediately noticed a black shadow rushing toward him.

Instinctively, he turned his body and raised his arms to defend himself, preparing to resist the attacker.

Thud!

Roar!

The black shadow, before it could reach Wei Changfeng, was struck by Tie Yi's quick and accurate blade, emitting a mournful cry as it fell to the ground, rolling and picking up leaves.

Only then did Wei Changfeng see that the attacker was a black wolf, about half a person's height, with a white ring of fur around its neck. Despite its severe injuries, its fierce head still showed a menacing expression, with long fangs dripping blood.

It struggled to get up and continue its attack, but a long wound from Tie Yi's iron ring-headed knife was gushing blood, and its internal organs were spilling out.

Tie Yi stepped forward and delivered a final blow, killing it, and said solemnly, "This is a White-necked Black Wolf, which never travels alone. We're in trouble!"

Howl!

As he spoke, the nearby forest immediately echoed with the mournful howls of wolves.

Then, black shadows quickly appeared around them, forming a tight encirclement!

"Damn it!"

Tie Yi cursed, "They don't come one by one, but in a whole pack!"

He quickly turned to stand back-to-back with Wei Changfeng and said anxiously, "Little Brother, stand firm and don't run around. I..."

Before he could finish, five or six White-necked Black Wolves simultaneously pounced from different directions!

They were in a sparse forest with no cover, which greatly facilitated the wolves' attack.

"Kill!"

Tie Yi roared, his iron ring-headed knife swinging with a thousand layers of blade light, protecting himself and the flanks. The blade cut through the air with a fierce wind!

However, no matter how strong his blade technique was, he couldn't protect Wei Changfeng's front.

So Wei Changfeng inevitably faced a White-necked Black Wolf's sudden attack.

But at this moment, Wei Changfeng felt no fear, only an indescribable excitement and thrill, his fighting spirit burning like a raging flame!

After diligent practice, his realm had advanced to the fourth level of Body Tempering, and he had completed the first level of the Dry Yang True Law, significantly enhancing his strength.

If he still feared a mere White-necked Black Wolf, it would be a joke!

Clang!

As the White-necked Black Wolf leaped up, opening its blood-filled mouth to bite at his throat, Wei Changfeng drew the green saber tied to his back with lightning speed, striking the opponent with a swift and powerful blow!

The Back Drawn Sword Technique!

Wei Changfeng had practiced this technique 15,000 times at the Qingyuan Cottage, mastering its essence. Both the speed of drawing the sword and the force of the strike were nearly perfect.

Most importantly, in the face of the White-necked Black Wolf's threat, his mind remained calm, and his movements were executed naturally and flawlessly!

Thud!

The green saber struck the White-necked Black Wolf's head with lightning speed, piercing through its hardest bone, the forehead, and cleanly slicing through its entire head!

The White-necked Black Wolf died almost instantly, but its momentum carried its body forward, splitting it into two pieces.

Thud!

The wolf's body fell to the ground, and Wei Changfeng was splattered with the wolf's foul-smelling blood.

But he paid no attention, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth and then planting the green saber in the ground.

In the next moment, Wei Changfeng took a half-step forward, raised his arms, and swung his fists.

Bear's Heavy Strike!

The pure and powerful Dry Yang True Qi surged from his dantian, flowing up his martial meridians into his arms, concentrating on his fists and multiplying his strength several times over!

His fists, wrapped in gloves, swelled slightly, and a faint red glow appeared between his fingers. The speed of his punches increased dramatically, accompanied by a terrifying wind and thunder sound.

In his previous life, although Wei Changfeng had cultivated the True Extreme Five-Form Technique to a high level, he had never been able to unleash such power. The strength gained from internal energy and true qi was incomparable!

Bang! Bang!

His fists simultaneously struck two White-necked Black Wolves pouncing from the left and right, hitting their heads with full force, using strength to overpower strength!

Crack!

The skulls of the two powerful White-necked Black Wolves shattered, their heads caving in, and blood spurted from their faces as they spun and flew away, unrecognizable.

With the addition of Dry Yang True Qi, the force of Wei Changfeng's iron fists was at least 500 pounds, more than enough to kill even an adult tiger.

After a successful strike, Wei Changfeng immediately took a half-step back, rejoining Tie Yi back-to-back.

Although Tie Yi did not achieve such a glorious victory, he effectively defended against the majority of the White-necked Black Wolves' attacks, protecting their flanks.

One White-necked Black Wolf, moving too fast to avoid, collided directly with the blade and was instantly killed.

"Good!"

Tie Yi swung his blade, forcing back the other three White-necked Black Wolves.

He had always been concerned about Wei Changfeng's safety and noticed his achievements, which greatly reassured him. He no longer felt constrained and launched a counterattack against the White-necked Black Wolves pouncing again.

Tie Yi's Fierce Wind Blade Technique was powerful and wide-ranging, and with his experience, he quickly trapped two more White-necked Black Wolves in the blade light.

Blade light flashed, and countless hairs and blood flew, accompanied by continuous cries of pain!

In just a moment, six White-necked Black Wolves lay dead at their feet, all in a gruesome state, greatly intimidating the other White-necked Black Wolves.

At least ten more White-necked Black Wolves remained in the nearby forest, circling but not daring to approach.

Howl!

A long, loud howl echoed from deep in the forest, and the surrounding wolf pack quickly retreated, disappearing in an instant.

"It's the wolf king!"

Tie Yi's face changed. "They're planning something sinister!"

Wei Changfeng was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

It turned out that the White-necked Black Wolves in Green Mountain always moved in groups, and a powerful group often had a lower-level beast king.

The Black Wolf King, while not very strong among lower-level beast kings, was very cunning, skilled in commanding group battles, and adept at using ambush, sneak attacks, and harassment tactics.

"I once joined a team and encountered a group of White-necked Black Wolves in the mountains..."

Tie Yi said with lingering fear. "At first, we killed over a dozen, but they followed us and harassed us all night, and only a few of us managed to escape alive."

"The Black Wolf King is very vengeful. It definitely hasn't gone far and will track us until nightfall!"

Wei Changfeng understood. At night, the advantage of the beast king and the wolf pack would be greatly increased, making their situation even more dangerous.

The thought of being stalked by a cunning and fierce beast was not pleasant!

Tie Yi hesitated and said, "Little Brother, should we retreat and come back another day?"

Wei Changfeng shook his head. "No! I have a plan to deal with them!"

Today, I attended a class reunion and drank to the point of being disoriented. I had to drink a cup of strong tea to calm down. After writing this chapter, I can barely hold on and don't dare to write recklessly, so I can only update once today. I hope for your understanding. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
