Chapter 1851: Chapter 1848: Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf!
Seeing the Sixth-level Demon Beast, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, actually appear on this fourth layer, Aqing, Zhao Qinglan, and Li Chen were all dumbstruck.
Now, they finally understood why, out of nowhere, a beast tide had erupted.
So it was all because of that Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
Just as Li Chen, Zhao Qinglan, and Aqing were staring in shock, that Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf seemed to sense something. It suddenly raised its massive head, its blood-red eyes glaring toward the mountaintop.
“Not good, that Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf has noticed us!”
Aqing and Zhao Qinglan were frightened out of their wits just from a single glance from the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf showed no interest in chasing the other Demon Beasts; it suddenly leapt up with a violent bound, charging straight for the summit.
Seeing the situation turn dire, Li Chen shouted urgently, “You two, run! I’ll hold this beast off!”
After speaking, he saw a huge boulder standing at the top of the mountain, and with a sudden burst of strength, he shoved it down, sending it crashing toward the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf below.
Facing the tumbling boulder, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf didn’t dodge at all, directly swinging its sharp claws and smashing head-on into it.
“Crack!”
The boulder, unable to withstand the impact of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s claws, shattered on the spot, breaking apart like a collapsing mountain and tumbling down.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was extremely fast; after tearing apart the boulder, with just two leaps it had already reached the summit.
Li Chen knew that if he turned to flee now,
then Aqing and Zhao Qinglan would very likely become this beast’s prey.
With that in mind, Li Chen didn’t hesitate in the slightest; he directly swung his sword and charged.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was surprised to see that this tiny human, upon seeing it, not only didn’t run but actually rushed straight at it.
It gave Li Chen a contemptuous glance, then raised its claws and met him head-on.
“Clang!”
Li Chen’s sword and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s claws collided, bursting into a shower of dazzling sparks.
Immediately after, there was a crisp “crack” of metal snapping.
Li Chen’s long sword, unable to withstand the force of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s strike, broke on the spot.
Seeing the sword in Li Chen’s hand snap, Zhao Qinglan grew extremely anxious and cried out.
“Brother Li Chen!”
She wanted to turn back and save Li Chen, but Aqing stopped her.
“Qinglan, if you go back now, you won’t be able to help Li Chen; you’ll only hold him back. Right now, we should fire a signal flare and call our instructor for help!”
As he spoke, he took out a signal flare, preparing to ask their instructor for aid.
However, just at that moment, a great bird suddenly swooped down from the sky.
Aqing’s arm was clawed by the bird.
The signal flare in her hand fell.
“Use mine!”
Zhao Qinglan grabbed her own signal flare and fired it toward the sky.
But that great bird still pursued relentlessly.
Although the signal flare was launched, it was blocked by the bird’s enormous wings.
Seeing this, Aqing and Zhao Qinglan looked at each other, both utterly at a loss.
Aqing glanced back at Li Chen, then made a swift decision. “Run, go find the instructor and ask for help!”
Though Zhao Qinglan was deeply worried about Li Chen, she also knew that her cultivation was too weak. If she rushed in, she wouldn’t be able to help at all and would only distract Li Chen.
“Brother Li Chen, you must hold on!”
After silently praying this in her heart, she and Aqing sprinted madly down the mountain.
“Awooo!”
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was extremely pleased with itself for shattering Li Chen’s weapon with a single claw. It threw back its head and let out a soul-shaking howl.
Then it extended another razor-sharp claw, like Death God’s reaping scythe, to harvest Li Chen’s life.
“Crack!”
This claw struck directly onto Li Chen’s shoulder.
His blood gushed out like a waterfall, and the gleam of white bone could vaguely be seen—utterly shocking.
Li Chen let out a muffled groan of pain, forced back again and again by the blow.
At that moment, the Meteorite Heart within his body began to spin rapidly once more.
Very soon, the wound on his shoulder started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Witnessing this unbelievable scene, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf froze.
Clearly, it was stunned by this impossible sight in front of it.
As a Sixth-level Demon Beast, it had dealt with not ten thousand, then at least eight thousand humans.
But never had there been a single human as bizarre as the youth before its eyes.
Could he be of a special constitution?
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf thought so to itself.
If it could devour a human with such a special constitution, it would have unimaginable effects on its strength.
Thinking this, its spirit suddenly grew excited.
Its gaze toward Li Chen burned with scorching greed.
At this moment, Li Chen’s eyes on the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf were also filled with fury.
Though the wound on his body had healed, that tearing pain still lingered.
“Damn beast, die!”
Li Chen’s five fingers clenched tight, his palm like cast Gold, and he smashed his fist viciously toward the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
This punch was simple, brutal, and thunderous!
At the same time, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf swung its sword-like claws, blasting its strike toward Li Chen.
“Boom!”
Li Chen’s Iron Fist and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s claws collided in midair, erupting in a deafening sonic boom.
“Thud, thud, thud!”
“Thud, thud, thud!”
After this fierce clash, Li Chen and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf were almost simultaneously blasted backward.
Li Chen retreated hundreds of zhang, only barely steadying himself after crashing into the trunk of a towering ancient tree.
At this moment, he felt his arm go numb, half his body losing sensation.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was also greatly shocked. It had never imagined that this seemingly tiny human would possess such terrifying power.
This wasn’t scientific!
“Roar!”
Infuriated to the extreme, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf threw back its head and roared, then once again charged at Li Chen in a furious rush.
It seemed that this time, if it didn’t tear this puny human into pieces, it would never let the matter rest.
Facing the raging Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, Li Chen felt no fear at all.
He could now be certain that he had basically attained an Undying Body.
At the very least, this beast in front of him couldn’t kill him.
Since this beast couldn’t kill him, then the one who would die in the end would definitely be it.
With that thought, Li Chen’s gaze grew incomparably resolute.
“Beast, you’ve come at the perfect time—die!”
Li Chen swung his fist again, like a cannon shell, directly tearing through the void with a shrill whistle as it blasted viciously toward the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf…
