Chapter 449: The Fall of the Wolf King

In the merchant caravan camp, the group watched the wolf pack continuously charging at the wind wall, remaining vigilant while also guarding against the wolf king in the shadows; after all, the previous Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor had been secretly destroyed by it.

Suddenly, on a hill in the distance, a cyan wind pillar appeared, reaching from the earth to the sky. The moment the wind pillar appeared, it swept all the Bloodthirsty Wolves on the hill into the sky, then tore them into fragments.

"Hmm? Which wind pillar is..."

Watching the suddenly appearing wind pillar, Kanglikeduo could not help but knit his brows.

"Commander, inside the wind pillar, there is a very large Bloodthirsty Wolf; it is likely the Bloodthirsty Wolf King!" a mercenary specializing in eagle-eye vision said, clutching his injured arm as he leaned toward him.

"The Bloodthirsty Wolf King is inside the wind pillar?" Kanglikeduo's brows furrowed slightly as he looked toward the wind pillar, and then he saw a tiny black dot within it.

"Judging by this distance, the black dot in the wind pillar is indeed very likely the Bloodthirsty Wolf King, but who exactly made a move to trap the wolf king in the wind pillar?" Kelisi asked.

"I am not very clear on this either, but I remember that around the Peilun Plain, there is a special team that specifically hunts down wolf kings attempting to initiate the Wolf Emperor Blood Sacrifice. I think it is very likely we have run into people from that team," Kanglikeduo said. "It is just that, when did this team gain such a powerful wind-element mage? Looking at this posture, I fear this person's strength is already at the Half-step Heaven Realm!"

"Regardless, someone holding back this wolf king is a good thing for us! Mo Lao, I am afraid I must trouble you to deal with the remaining Bloodthirsty Wolves!" Kelisi said.

"Human, do you truly wish to fight me to the death?" The Bloodthirsty Wolf King, shrouded by the wind pillar, spoke to Lingyun while trading blows with the Wind Blades inside the pillar.

"To the death? You do not yet have the qualifications!" Lingyun urged his Source Power again, and the power of the wind pillar formed by the Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique increased by thirty percent; even a portion of the power from the distant black storm was drawn over by the wind pillar.

"Damn it, damn it!" A bloodthirsty light flickered in the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's eyes as its body lunged left and right within the wind pillar.

However, the wind pillar contained a mysterious sealing force, and the layers of fierce wind transformed into powerful invisible shackles; no matter how the Bloodthirsty Wolf King lunged within the pillar, it could not break through the wind pillar's blockade.

"I, a dignified wolf king, how could I be trapped by a wind pillar?"

The Bloodthirsty Wolf King let out an angry roar, its figure expanding once more, and blood-colored magic power leaked from its body. This was the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's most powerful trump card—the Bloodthirsty True Intent. The Bloodthirsty True Intent could increase the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's strength by a full thirty percent, but the price was not small; after the power of the Bloodthirsty True Intent faded, its strength would drop by a small rank. However, compared to its own life, this price was insignificant.

The blood-colored magic power expanded crazily, forcibly stretching the entire cyan wind pillar by several degrees. Seeing this, Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly; the Wind Holy Sword in his hand left his grasp, and his hands formed a Dharma Seal.

"Wind Blade Shred!"

The cyan wind pillar shook, and then countless Wind Blades emerged from within, transforming into the sharpest killing move as they shredded toward the Bloodthirsty Wolf King inside. At the same time, the entire wind pillar shrank abruptly, adding several degrees to the power of the Wind Blades.

"Explode for me!" With the killing intent upon it, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King roared wildly, its magic power expanding crazily to form a massive blood-colored Light Ball around its body.

The shrinking wind pillar, carrying layers of Wind Blades, slammed violently into the blood-colored Light Ball, and cyan and blood-colored light soared into the sky. A ring-shaped shockwave expanded from the hill as the center, blowing away all the surrounding Bloodthirsty Wolves.

"A desperate struggle?" The Wind Holy Sword fell back into Lingyun's hand, and Lingyun gripped the sword with both hands, blocking forward abruptly.

A blood-colored figure suddenly darted out from the aftermath of the explosion, and a blood-colored claw shadow slammed heavily onto the Wind Holy Sword. Feeling the immense force from the claw shadow, Lingyun's body swayed slightly, and he drifted backward for several meters before landing on the ground.

The moment he landed, a cracking sound was heard, and cracks suddenly appeared on the ground; this was caused by Lingyun channeling all the immense force he had sustained into the earth beneath his feet.

The Bloodthirsty Wolf King that appeared before Lingyun had changed drastically; the fur on its body had turned entirely blood-red, and trickles of fresh blood flowed from its body, dripping onto the ground. At the same time, the aura on the Bloodthirsty Wolf King was infinitely approaching the Heavenly Domain.

Facing the unprecedentedly imposing Bloodthirsty Wolf King, there was no fear on Lingyun's face. Infinite Wind Elements gathered around him, and the cyan giant dragon appeared once again by his side, letting out a silent roar at the Bloodthirsty Wolf King.

The blood-colored magic power on the Bloodthirsty Wolf King slowly condensed onto its body surface, eventually forming a blood-colored armor around it. With the blood-colored armor on, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King let out a low hiss, pressed its four claws against the ground, and its figure instantly transformed into a blood-colored streak of light, pouncing toward Lingyun. Lingyun, with the Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique augmenting his body, met the charging Bloodthirsty Wolf King without fear.

The cyan streak of light and the blood-colored streak of light slammed into each other heavily, colliding hundreds of times in an instant. The shockwave formed by the collision between the man and the wolf swept across the entire battlefield; if not for the Eye of the Storm protecting the caravan, they would have been caught in the wake of this powerful shockwave.

"Ding—" After a violent collision, Lingyun's figure flashed repeatedly, instantly retreating dozens of meters. Having forced Lingyun back with one strike, how could the Bloodthirsty Wolf King let go of such an opportunity to press the attack? Its claws stomped four pits into the ground, and it transformed into a blood-colored streak of light, pouncing toward Lingyun.

"Chi—" Lingyun took a deep breath, and the cyan giant dragon by his side instantly merged into his body. Lingyun flicked his hand, and the Wind Holy Sword let out a hum, then suddenly erupted with a brilliant sword flower. Although the sword flower looked beautiful, it was composed of dense sword shadows. In the blink of an eye, Lingyun had thrust nearly a hundred swords, each containing unparalleled Qingxuan Sword Qi, pointing directly at the incoming blood-colored streak of light.

Facing Lingyun's inescapable Sword Qi, the blood-colored streak of light was instantly blasted away, and a howl of agony came from the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's mouth. Dozens of wounds deep enough to see bone appeared on the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's body. If it hadn't retreated quickly, the wounds on its body would have doubled!

Lingyun's figure remained still, the Wind Holy Sword in his hand shrouded in cyan light. Although the Bloodthirsty Wolf King had used a secret technique to raise its strength to the level of approaching the Heavenly Domain, Lingyun's own strength had already stepped into the Half-step Heaven Realm of this world; coupled with the Wind Holy Sword and the Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique, suppressing the Bloodthirsty Wolf King was not a difficult matter.

"Is this your goal?" The Bloodthirsty Wolf King straightened its body, its eyes staring fixedly at Lingyun.

On the ground of the battlefield between the two, a massive Array had appeared at some point, shrouding them both within it. Looking closely, this Array was actually drawn on the ground by countless sword marks.

In the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's perception, this unknown Array had actually isolated this place from the outside world.

"Of course. After all, your strength is now infinitely approaching the Heavenly Domain; if a Bloodthirsty Wolf King near the Heavenly Domain used a Bloodthirsty Dash to escape, I would not have the confidence to stop it. Most importantly, I do not have the perverse hobby of letting an enemy run away only to return and take revenge on me in the future!" The aura on Lingyun's body began to boil, and wisps of cyan light appeared around him, transforming into cyan sword shadows.

"Heh, even if I die, I will not let you have an easy time!" A flash of violence crossed the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's eyes, and its figure began to expand.

"Want to self-destruct? Do you think I will let you succeed?" A trace of gravity flashed in Lingyun's eyes; facing the self-destruction of an expert near the Heavenly Domain, even he would be severely injured. "Wind Extreme, Qingxuan Space-Split!"

Wind Elements poured toward Lingyun continuously, and even the distant black storm showed signs of collapsing due to the massive extraction of Wind Elements. As Lingyun swung the Wind Holy Sword in his hand, the condensed Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique transformed into a Light Blade and struck toward the Bloodthirsty Wolf King.

Watching the Wind Blade cutting toward it, a cruel smile appeared on the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's face. In its current state, as long as it received even the slightest impact, it would explode, and the power of this explosion would be enough to blast the enemy in front of it into ashes.

However, to its astonishment, the cyan Wind Blade did not strike its body directly, but instead grazed past it. Immediately following, a scene that terrified it occurred: the space beside it was actually torn open by this Wind Blade.

The torn space erupted with a terrifying suction force, acting upon the Bloodthirsty Wolf King. The Bloodthirsty Wolf King let out a howl of unwillingness, and its entire body exploded. But the destructive storm generated by the explosion was completely swallowed by the spatial rift before it could even spread.

After swallowing the terrifying power generated by the Bloodthirsty Wolf King's self-destruction, the spatial rift carved out by the Qingxuan Space-Split twisted for a moment, then slowly disappeared.

"Hoo—" Lingyun let out a long breath, and the Wind Holy Sword in his hand disappeared into a streak of light.

After the Bloodthirsty Wolf King was killed, the Bloodthirsty Wolf Pack surrounding the caravan began to show signs of collapse. When a wave of Meteor Fire Rain fell from the sky, the Bloodthirsty Wolf Pack finally collapsed completely, and one by one, they turned and fled the area.

"It is finally over." Kanglikeduo watched the disappearing wolf pack and let out a sigh of relief.
