Seeing Ziyuan standing there idiotically, Ming Qi had no choice but to throw them out.
"Ah!"
Ziyuan barely had time to let out a cry of surprise before she was sent flying uncontrollably, slamming heavily to the ground.
"Idiot, get out!"
Ming Qi was furious. Why was this girl so clueless? She must have been frightened by the wolves, or perhaps she'd been so spoiled and pampered that she'd never seen real bloodshed.
But Ming Qi naturally had no time to dwell on this. Just as he was throwing Ziyuan and Zhengyao with all his might, the enormous and terrifying Cang Wolf King slapped Ming Qi hard on the back.
Bang!
As expected, Ming Qi was sent flying by this powerful blow, flying over two meters.
With a cry of "wow," a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. Ming Qi felt as if the Wolf King's slap had practically shattered his bones.
Zi Yuan, in the distance, had already stood up, just in time to witness Ming Qi's tragic slap from the Cang Lang King. Her face paled with shock.
Leave! This man would most likely die here. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to help.
"Sister, let's go!"
Zheng Yao, at this moment, displayed a manly resolve, immediately pulling Zi Yuan along and swiftly departing.
He knew that even if they stayed, they wouldn't be of any help.
"The Wolf King is so powerful!"
Ming Qi didn't dare to delay. He immediately rolled over, ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body. He stood up abruptly, shaking his spear and thrusting it towards the Cang Lang King's head.
Whoosh!
As the spear approached, the Cang Lang King, with remarkable agility, dodged it.
Awooo!
The Cang Lang King howled and lunged again, his claws radiating the ferocious aura of a ferocious beast.
The murderous aura of a demonic beast is similar to the murderous intent of a human warrior; the stronger the aura, the greater its combat power. At this moment, the Wolf King's murderous aura was so intense that even from a few meters away, Ming Qi could clearly sense it, like a sharp blade.
"Come on, little demonic beast! I want to see just how powerful you are!"
Ming Qi grew braver and braver as the battle progressed, his momentum soaring!
At the fifth level of the Acquired Realm, Ming Qi faced the Black-backed Wolf King, who possessed the sixth level and was significantly more powerful. This was undoubtedly the most difficult battle of his life.
Demonic beasts are often renowned for their immense strength and formidable defenses. Compared to human warriors, their weakness lies in their understanding of magical powers. Combat at the Acquired Realm simply doesn't involve magical powers. Therefore, at the Acquired Realm, a demonic beast of the same level can easily defeat a human warrior of the same level.
Under the command of the Wolf King, the remaining dozen or so black-backed wolves once again surrounded Ming Qi, their bright red eyes glaring, their fangs bared.
Awooo!
After Ming Qi had thoroughly enraged the Wolf King, the pack seemed unable to endure any longer. They immediately charged, their shadows intertwined.
Swish!
Ming Qi was surrounded by wolf shadows and claws, a dazzling sight.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind swept over him. It was the Black-backed Wolf King who had chosen to attack. Its sharp front claws, like iron hooks, clawed at Ming Qi's chest.
The Wolf King's strike was powerful and devastating. If Ming Qi were caught, he would likely be disemboweled and his heart ripped out.
But Ming Qi wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Seeing the Gray Wolf King lunge first, he swung his bloody spear across the air, his body like a sword, swiftly thrusting at the wolf's head.
Snap!
The Gray Wolf King was incredibly intelligent. Facing the incoming spear, it jerked its head, dodging the spear's tip. Its claws, lightning-fast, laid hold of Ming Qi's spear shaft.
Instantly, Ming Qi felt as if a thousand pounds of force were bearing down on the spear shaft, immobilizing him.
Swish, swish, swish!
The remaining Gray Wolfs also charged forward recklessly, biting and clawing desperately.
"Go to hell!"
At this critical moment, Ming Qi decisively abandoned his spear. A flash of light flashed from his fingertips, and with a swirling slash of sword power, he severed the front paws of three Gray Wolfs.
Awoo, awoo...
The wolf whose front paws Ming Qi had severed instantly collapsed to the ground, whimpering uncontrollably, blood splattering everywhere.
Three more wolves had lost their fighting power, and Ming Qi felt a sudden sense of relief. The Wolf King froze for a moment as Ming Qi dropped his spear, then leaped up with a furious roar and lunged forward.
Swish!
Ming Qi swung his sword with all his might, engaging the Wolf King head-on with a fierce confrontation.
The sword slashed down with lightning speed, and Ming Qi's immense force ripped a wound through the Wolf King's fur, its toughness comparable to fine armor. Ming Qi paid a heavy price for this, with two more bloody wounds.
Struck by the sword, the Wolf King let out a mournful howl, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust. Seeing Yan Zi not only didn't flinch, but Ming Qi's strike completely unleashed its bestial nature.
"No! The weakening effect is getting worse. We must fight quickly!"
Ming Qi felt his movements becoming increasingly uncoordinated, and a wave of anxiety grew in his heart.
The weakening effect of the Black-backed Gray Wolf was feared even by warriors of the eighth and ninth levels of the Acquired Realm. Moreover, Ming Qi, at only the fifth level, was far from immune to the weakening.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the Supreme Mountain and Sea Map, hidden deep within his mind, stir strangely, as if ready to leap forth unbidden.
As Ming Qi thought, the mysterious, gray scroll materialized behind him.
The ancient scroll, its vicissitudes of life, was timeless and lingering.
However, to Ming Qi's utter astonishment, a majestic, snow-white gray wolf now appeared on the mountain and sea map!
Wolf nature!
The two words instantly flashed through Ming Qi's mind!
Greed, persistence, cruelty, loyalty...
Countless words about wolf nature swirled in Ming Qi's mind, and the next moment, he discovered he had gained a profound understanding of wolves.
"Could it be that the wolf nature of these gray wolves has awakened the mysterious power of wolves in the Shanhai Tu?"
A thought struck Ming Qi.
Almost instantly, a boundless mysterious aura began to wash over his soul, infused with all the elements of wolf nature. It seemed as if his entire body had been thoroughly infused with wolf nature in the blink of an eye.
"Wolf nature, this is wolf nature!"
Ming Qi was overwhelmed with excitement. Of course, it wasn't just his complete understanding of the mysteries of wolf nature that excited him, but also the fact that, along with its awakening, came a martial art.
Martial Arts: Wolf Fist!
A single punch fused greed, persistence, tenacity, fighting spirit, cruelty, and loyalty. How magnificent was that?
Wolf Fist, First Punch: Bloodthirsty Greed! In Ming Qi's mind, accompanied by a mysterious aura, a crimson fist crystallized.
Without hesitation, Ming Qi, following this moment of enlightenment, clenched his right fist, and swung forward.
Boom!
Boundless fist energy spread, instantly illuminating the surroundings with a crimson glow!
All the black-backed wolves caught in the fist's impact involuntarily took a few steps back, fear flickering in their terrifying eyes.
"This first punch is enough!"
Briming with confidence, Ming Qi took a step forward, like a god of slaughter, mobilizing all his strength to deliver a single punch.
There are five punches in the Wolf Fist, and Ming Qi could only perform this first one.
Bang!
The boundless fist energy enveloped the sky, crushing a wolf's skull before it could even react!
"What a terrifying punch!"
Even Ming Qi was shocked by his own punch.
But this seemed only the beginning of the shock. Ming Qi, possessed of bloodthirsty greed, delivered a single punch, imbued not only with boundless murderous intent but also with a greedy mind like the boundless abyss.
He discovered that the boundless fist force didn't dissipate immediately, but instead began to frantically devour the vital energy and power of the Cang Wolf's corpse!
Bang, bang, bang!
Ming Qi pressed on, unleashing a barrage of punches, each one boasting a force no less powerful than that of a seventh-level cultivator!
In just a few breaths, all the Cang Wolfs, save the Cang Wolf King, were annihilated by a single blow!
Such overwhelming power brought back the sensation of his past life, when he could slay humans with a single wave of his hand. It was a feeling of utter exhilaration, a feeling that filled his soul with ecstasy.
And during this time, the Cang Wolf King inevitably took a heavy blow from Ming Qi.
The air was filled with boundless fist force, and the vast Cang Wolf's vital energy was continuously absorbed by the fist force, returning to Ming Qi's body.
"This feeling is truly amazing!"
Ming Qi discovered that not only was he not fatigued from the continuous punching, but he was actually gaining strength and energy!
Ming Qi's punches were unstoppable!
Now, leveraging his wolf nature's resonance, he could absorb the wolf's vital energy and strength. The ensuing battle was like a crushing blow!
Boom!
Ming Qi struck with one punch, and the Wolf King was sent flying again, without a trace of suspense.
Relentlessly, Ming Qi leaped forward and hammered the Wolf King's waist with all his might.
One punch, two punches, ten punches, twenty punches...
Wolves are known for their iron bones and tofu waists. The wolf's waist is the most vulnerable part of its body. Initially, Ming Qi had overlooked this point when facing the wolves.
But now, even the Wolf King, a peak-level second-level demon beast, could not withstand it.
Over the course of dozens of breaths, Ming Qi had already delivered over a hundred punches. Only after he saw the Gray Wolf King completely collapse, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes bulging, seemingly deader than dead, did he stop.
Whew!
With a sigh of relief, Ming Qi realized he was practically a bloody mess, his entire body stained red with blood.
One could imagine that if the wolves hadn't unleashed the wolf nature within the Mountain and Sea Map, he would have been devoured.
At this point, the energy absorbed by the Wolf Fist was still immense. Ming Qi began to experiment with transforming this power into his own. Imagine if this single punch could transform the enemy's strength into his own, then with just one blow, he could conquer the world and sweep everything away.
Unfortunately, after experimenting, Ming Qi discovered that this power was only useful for a short period of time; as the Gray Wolf's spirit dissipated, the power vanished.
Awooo...
Ming Qi was just beginning to feel regretful when he twitched his ears and heard the sound of more wolf howls. Judging from the sound, it was more than just one or two wolf packs.
