“Swish! Swish!”
The even faster Swift Wind Wolves, with their four limbs stepping on the ice surface, had their bodies sliding around uncontrollably in a complete mess, then like Su Xiaomo, either crashed into large trees or crashed into the mountain walls.
Because their charging speed was too fast, some fainted on the spot.
The Swift Wind Wolves that didn’t faint were also hit dizzy and seeing stars. Before they could even stand up straight, they were hacked to death by the charging Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples in a flurry of chaotic sword strikes.
“Ding! Hunted Swift Wind Wolves 29/100.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Xiao Mu, continue pulling monsters.”
“Sect… Sect Master…”
Su Xiaomo, with a forehead full of little stars, swayed unsteadily while supporting himself against the stone wall, saying: “I’m a bit dizzy… need to rest for a while.”
“Xiao Fei!”
Jun Changxiao said: “You go!”
“Yes!”
Li Fei, who was also quite good at speed, entered the tunnel entrance.
Before long, he was seen running out with his mouth open, tongue hanging out, in a desperate state, with over a dozen Swift Wind Wolves chasing behind him.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Li Qingyang and Xiao Ziji and the others, leaning against both sides of the entrance, frantically swung their swords the instant Li Fei ran out.
Under the flashing blades and sword shadows, the Swift Wind Wolves that charged out were all slain!
Just like this.
Su Xiaomo and Li Fei took turns luring monsters, while the Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples blocked the entrance setting ambushes, killing them again and again.
Half an hour later.
Over a hundred Swift Wind Wolf corpses were piled up in the valley, completing another fierce beast hunt count for the epic quest.
“Ding! Hunted Swift Wind Wolves 100/100.”
“Ding! Host has completed one fierce beast prey count. Epic quest completion 60%. Host receives 200 contribution points.”
“Ding! Contribution points: 955/1000.”
Jun Changxiao opened the quest panel and thought to himself: “There’s still one Fire Dragon Beast left. As long as I find it, the epic quest will be complete.”
“However.”
“The quest only requires hunting one. The Fire Dragon Beast is probably a major boss.”
“Aooo!”
Just at this moment, a powerful roar came from the tunnel, and a large Swift Wind Wolf that seemed to be enveloped in wind appeared!
“Swift Wind Wolf King!”
The rogue cultivators were frightened pale.
Li Qingyang said gravely: “Sect Master, this big fellow is at least a high first-rank fierce beast!”
Low-tier fierce beasts corresponded to Wutu.
Mid-tier fierce beasts corresponded to Wushi.
High-tier fierce beasts corresponded to Wuzong!
In other words, the Swift Wind Wolf King whose entire body seemed to be condensed by wind waves had strength no weaker than Alliance Leader Qin of the Hundred Sects Alliance!
If it was a first-rank Wuzong, the problem wouldn’t be major.
The key point was, this was a fierce beast with a strong and sturdy body, and it specialized in speed!
Even if Qin Haoran faced the Swift Wind Wolf King, he would only have one thought—immediately flee!
“Give me the gun.”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao took the Type 88 sniper rifle, spent 5 contribution points to activate enhanced mode, and aimed at the head of the Swift Wind Wolf King that was walking over step by step.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Firing continuously, three streams of light bullets instantly shot out.
“Aooo!”
The Swift Wind Wolf King sensed something was wrong and roared with its head raised.
The wind spiral formed around its body instantly surged, its four limbs moved, and its body transformed into a stream of light.
It was truly fast!
Under auto-aim, no matter how it moved, it couldn’t dodge.
However, just as they were about to hit, the three streams of light bullets collided with the gathered wind spiral, then were directly swept away!
They could hit, but couldn’t penetrate!
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened.
The system said: “This type of fierce beast that condenses wind spirals is equivalent to forming a defensive layer in front of its body. When bullets collide with it, their force will be greatly reduced.”
Damn.
Jun Changxiao raised the gun and directly fired seven consecutive shots.
Seven bullets shot out explosively. Due to recoil, his body stepped back one step.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Seven bullets arrived in succession!
Unfortunately, upon contact with the wind spiral around the Swift Wind Wolf King’s body, their force was weakened and they were swept away, shooting into trees or walls.
This was very awkward!
Dammit.
Switch to high-grade bullets—I don’t believe they can’t penetrate the wind spiral!
Jun Changxiao took out the Great Poison Spider King’s crystal core. While loading the bullets, the Swift Wind Wolf King opened its large mouth and spewed out a wind spiral in the form of a light beam.
Extremely fast speed, arriving in the blink of an eye!
“Swish!”
Xiao Ziji stepped forward in one stride, holding up the defensive barrier and positioning it in the path the wind spiral must take.
“Boom!”
The wind force bombarded the defensive barrier head-on.
“Thud thud thud!”
Xiao Ziji gritted his teeth, stepping backward step by step.
It was clear the wind force condensed by a high first-rank fierce beast was extremely powerful!
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
The wind spiral crazily impacted. The Sturdy Iron Shield’s energy rapidly depleted. The barrier changed from substantial to ethereal and illusory.
“Sect Master, I can’t hold much longer!”
Just as the words fell, the defensive barrier’s energy was exhausted and instantly disappeared. As Xiao Ziji was retreating, he suddenly turned around, and the wind spiral whooshed past brushing his side.
“Boom!”
The wind spiral shot through like a line, directly piercing through and crashing into the stone wall, blasting out a huge cavity!
While Xiao Ziji was holding firm, Jun Changxiao, who had already dodged from the path ahead of time, had already loaded the bullets. Raising the gun, he directly fired all ten rounds.
Bang bang bang!
Under the recoil, he explosively retreated three steps!
The ten bullets enhanced by high-grade crystal cores had very strong speed and impact force, blasting into the wind spiral condensed by the Swift Wind Wolf King in moments.
The two began intensely colliding!
“Whoosh!”
Finally, one bullet burrowed through.
Before Jun Changxiao could feel happy, the streaming light bullet bombarded the Swift Wind Wolf King’s body, only leaving a shallow mark without penetrating!
The system said: “The bullets were weakened by the wind spiral’s impact force, making it difficult to harm its physical body.”
“Damn!” Jun Changxiao cursed.
This was only a Wuzong-level fierce beast, yet the Type 88 sniper rifle was already showing signs of impotence. Indeed, as the system said, to rely on firearms to harm enemies in the future, he could only use rocket launchers!
System: “…”
You’re the one who thought of this yourself. When did I ever say that!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The other nine bullets broke through the wind spiral, but their force was greatly weakened. Hitting the Swift Wind Wolf King’s body, they only brought it a sense of pain without causing substantial damage.
No matter how accurate the auto-aim, it couldn’t handle full-body armor plating!
“Aooo!”
The Swift Wind Wolf King was enraged and immediately moved its four limbs, charging toward Jun Changxiao.
Swish swish swish!
The wind spiral around its body roared out, instantly ruthlessly pulverizing the surrounding trees and stones!
“I slash!”
“I slash!”
Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo and the others released spiritual power martial techniques, but the opponent had wind spiral protection. Hitting it had no effect at all!
“Swish—”
The Swift Wind Wolf King charged swiftly.
Jun Changxiao’s expression changed greatly. He hurriedly used Ghost Vertical Steps to flee.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Right at this moment, a bone-chilling cold qi pervaded from behind, instantly gathering in front, forming a thick ice wall.
“Boom!”
The Swift Wind Wolf King directly crashed into it. The tremendous impact force cracked the ice wall.
“Thud thud!”
Lu Qianqian, who had gathered the ice wall with ice-type spiritual energy, slightly knitted her willow-leaf eyebrows. Her body stepped back several steps, and her crossed jade hands also trembled slightly.
“This is trouble!”
“We’d better retreat quickly!”
Witnessing the Iron Bones Clanging Sect being made thoroughly miserable by the Wolf King, the rogue cultivators immediately felt the urge to retreat.
Dammit!
Jun Changxiao’s gaze flashed with furious fire.
He was just about to crush the Strength Enhancement Talisman from his spatial ring and sacrifice his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade!
“Step.”
Just at this moment, Zhou Hong appeared at the Swift Wind Wolf King’s side, gripping the sword hilt with one hand, making a sword-drawing motion. His black hair was blown wildly by the fierce wind. His expression solemn, he said: “Sword Form, Startling Swan!”
“Clang!”
Sword left sheath, sword qi emerged, sword entered sheath!
“Whoosh—”
An incomparably cold and severe sword qi, in a vertical stance, tore forth, rapidly slicing through the wind spiral, then swept past the Swift Wind Wolf King’s front and vanished into the void.
Gah!
The wind spiral abruptly stopped.
Pain rose in the Swift Wind Wolf King’s gaze. A thin line appeared on its body. Under everyone’s gaze, it split apart, half falling thunderously to the right, half to the left.
