Chapter 117: Danger on All Sides (Part 2)

As Lin Xing propelled himself upward, the Wolf King was already pouncing down.

With a loud "clang," the man and wolf crossed paths, exchanging places in a flash. The Wolf King's speed was far too fast, and those claws... Lin Xing frowned inwardly.

And below... Lin Xing glanced at the dense pack of Swift Wind Wolves below and couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. He'd really bitten off more than he could chew this time; he might actually get torn apart by the pack.

The thought of being sliced to pieces by Wind Blades made Lin Xing shudder. Escape was now next to impossible. Without the Wolf King, he could have used his superior speed to make a run for it. But if he tried to run now, the Wolf King would attack from behind. With its speed and strength, it could definitely break through his defenses.

His only way out now was to take down the Wolf King or severely injure it. Thinking this, Lin Xing's expression turned cold as he looked at the Wolf King. The Wolf King was also staring fixedly at Lin Xing.

Speed was out of the question; the Wolf King was even faster. Now, he could only fight head-on.

Lin Xing let out a low roar, kicked off from the branch beneath him. With a "crack," the branch snapped and shattered. Harnessing the momentum, Lin Xing hurtled toward the Wolf King. Mid-flight, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed forward.

Like a falling meteor, he instantly appeared before the Wolf King. With a loud shout, Lin Xing's sword emitted a glimmering white light, flashing like lightning as it suddenly appeared above the Wolf King's head.

The Wolf King howled, its body rearing up onto its hind legs, its front legs crossed together to meet Lin Xing's descending blade.

"Boom!" Their energies collided with devastating force, producing a deafening crash. Where the soundwave passed, the branches and trees near Lin Xing and the Wolf King were blasted apart! Both figures plummeted downward.

"Go to hell!" Lin Xing twisted his waist fiercely and, using his falling momentum, slashed at the Wolf King below him.

The Wolf King didn't dare take the blow directly on its body. It straightened up, using its legs once again to block Lin Xing's sword. With a "boom," the Wolf King was smashed down like a meteor, instantly hitting the ground with a "thud," blasting a crater into the ground.

Lin Xing, using the force, was flung sideways toward a nearby tree. The surrounding Swift Wind Wolves swarmed him once more, and a dense barrage of Wind Blades was fired at him in a crazed volley!

The Wolf King pushed with its four legs, clambering out of the crater. Shaking its slightly dazed head, seething rage boiled within it. After all, it was a noble king, yet it had been successively knocked flying by a weak human, made so disheveled, and in front of so many subordinates at that!

This was utterly intolerable. The more the Wolf King thought about it, the angrier it became. Its eyes, glowing with an eerie red light, now shone even brighter and redder. Its gaze toward Lin Xing grew increasingly cold and sinister.

With an angry roar, the Wolf King dug its four feet into the ground, slightly crouched its body, and exerted force fiercely. A phantom flicker, and it instantly vanished from its spot, pouncing toward Lin Xing, who was besieged by the wolf pack.

Lin Xing had just slashed and flipped over a larger wolf that had climbed the tree—the one with a tuft of red fur on its forehead from before—when he heard a "whoosh" and felt a gust of fierce wind rushing toward him from behind. Even before it got close, he could sense a trace of chilling cold.

Without time to think, Lin Xing leaped into the air, spinning his body as he flew upward, evading the Wolf King's attack.

Seeing its attack fail, the Wolf King sprang up, pouncing at Lin Xing again.

Lin Xing channeled all his power, forcibly raising his descending body another ten feet! Then, with a strange twist, he turned upside down, forming a spiral as he rotated and shot downward toward the Wolf King flying up at him.

"Boom!" Man and wolf collided once more. Ultimately, Lin Xing's strength held the advantage. The Wolf King's front claws strained to hold back the tip of Lin Xing's continuously rotating blade.

Lin Xing roared, and powerful force surged from his arm once again. With a series of "crackling" sounds from breaking branches around them, Lin Xing and the Wolf King plummeted together.

The Wolf King's eerie, sinister eyes glared venomously at Lin Xing, though now they seemed somewhat powerless. Its front legs forcefully resisted Lin Xing's constantly rotating blade. The Wolf King felt that the spiraling blade was continuously weakening its defense; it wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Glaring venomously at Lin Xing, the Wolf King opened its mouth and shot a string of Wind Blades at Lin Xing, who was right in front of it.

Seeing this, Lin Xing inwardly cursed. He formed fists with both hands and punched down at the incoming Wind Blades. "Boom, boom!" He shattered the Wind Blades with his punches, and the remaining force, unabated, smashed toward the Wolf King's head.

The Wolf King spat out another string of Wind Blades, blocking Lin Xing's punch.

"Boom!" Dust instantly flew on the ground. Lin Xing forcefully pressed the Wolf King down, directly driving it into the earth. The Wolf King pushed against the ground with its hind legs, let out an angry roar, and used all its strength to push aside Lin Xing's blade. Ignoring the blood that spurted out, it opened its mouth and shot another string of Wind Blades at Lin Xing!

Lin Xing "swished" as he retracted his blade, then slammed both palms toward the Wolf King's head. One palm scattered the Wind Blades, and he pressed down.

The Wolf King roared in fury, raising its front legs to meet the attack. "Boom!" The Wolf King was slammed down again. Then, with two more "boom, boom" punches, Lin Xing directly struck the Wolf King's body! The Wolf King howled in pain.

Lin Xing thought it wouldn't be bad to just pummel the Wolf King to death like this. However, the surrounding wolf pack wouldn't allow Lin Xing to bully their king. Seeing the Wolf King only able to endure the beating, wolf after wolf roared and pounced at Lin Xing. In an instant, Wind Blades and claw shadows filled the sky.

Lin Xing punched away one wolf that pounced at him. Suddenly, his right foot moved. "Awoo!" The Wolf King could no longer hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood as its body was sent flying.

After kicking the Wolf King in the abdomen and sending it flying, Lin Xing flipped his hand, and a weapon appeared in it once again. He charged into the wolf pack, slashing and hacking with wide, powerful strokes.

Seeing the Wolf King injured and retreating, and smelling the blood, the wolf pack grew even more excited and bloodthirsty. Each one attacked Lin Xing with even more reckless, frenzied assaults. Instantly, claw shadows and Wind Blades flew toward Lin Xing like ten thousand swords, attacking indiscriminately.
