Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 9

However, after slaughtering nearly half of the Blood Demon Wolves, the remaining demon beasts all showed expressions of fear and dared not step forward.

As living beings, these Blood Demon Wolves also possess strong emotions. No matter how much the Beast General-level Blood Demon Wolves urged them, the remaining demon beasts hesitated to move forward.

"...Twenty-five..."

The blood demon wolves began to feel fear, but Lu Yunhe was in the middle of a fierce battle, his bloodthirsty eyes and blood-stained clothes making him look exactly like a demon from hell.

Finally, after a large number of their companions were slaughtered, the remaining beast-soldier-level blood demon wolves could no longer hold on and scattered and fled.

Seeing these fleeing demonic beasts, Lu Yunhe naturally wouldn't waste his energy chasing after them, so he set his sights on the remaining six beast general-level blood demon wolves.

"Beginner Beast Generals are not challenging at all, remove them!"

After a large number of Blood Demon Wolves were defeated and killed, and the battlefield was frozen in place, the entire battle situation became clear.

Without the interference of a large number of subordinates, the Blood Demon Wolf King on the other side would have no chance against Dong Nanbiao, who was at the intermediate-level War God level.

In this situation, what was originally a life-or-death struggle has gradually turned into a monster hunt.

Give me one!

Lu Yunhe charged toward a Blood Demon Wolf of intermediate-level Beast General status, pulling it out of the group battle.

Lu Yunhe's choice immediately startled the other four. Although the opponent's combat power was outstanding, the Blood Demon Wolf, which had reached the intermediate level of Beast General, was completely different from other monsters.

"Ow!"

Seeing the human slaughtering his own kind, the Blood Demon Wolf was still furious, even though monsters are inherently cold-blooded, and wished it could tear the human in front of it to pieces.

Filled with extreme rage, the Blood Demon Wolf transformed into a blood-red shadow, charging forward at a speed almost exceeding what the naked eye could see.

"Great! Let's give it four times the effort!"

Faced with the presence of a mid-level beast general, Lu Yunhe dared not continue to maintain a low level of exertion and instantly unleashed his maximum power.

With a force of nearly 4000 kilograms, and exerted at four times the normal force, this was the limit of a novice warrior, while the blood demon wolf was only a mid-level beast general. The difference in strength between the two was less than double.

However, strength is only the foundation. Monsters are known for their physical attributes, with powerful bodies bringing formidable defense and unparalleled stamina.

when……

Facing the Blood Demon Wolf, a mid-level beast general, Lu Yunhe dared not use his small body to withstand the attack head-on. He could only rely on his perfect-level agility to dodge and then launch a counterattack.

However, when the weapon in his hand slashed at the Blood Demon Wolf's body, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but narrow his eyes. The metal and flesh collided, and the latter completely demonstrated a defensive power no less than that of steel.

"Trouble!"

With a force of nearly 16000 kilograms, the weapon in his hand barely managed to make a cut in the wolf's body, but compared to the opponent's size, which was almost comparable to that of a buffalo, this damage was completely insignificant.

"Do you want me to scrape it to death?"

Lu Yunhe frowned slightly, while the injured Blood Demon Wolf on the other side became even more ferocious due to the stimulation of blood, as if it had gone berserk.

shhhhhh...

The Blood Demon Wolf transformed into streaks of blood, relentlessly attacking Lu Yunhe. However, thanks to his profound understanding, Lu Yunhe was always able to dodge at crucial moments and deliver a fatal blow.

"Not enough, not enough..."

Although this Blood Demon Wolf was strong, it still didn't put enough pressure on Lu Yunhe.

"One more, please."

Lu Yunhe's speed increased dramatically in an instant, bringing the Blood Demon Wolf he was fighting into the melee, and then taking away another Blood Demon Wolf of the intermediate Beast General level.

Finally, under the combined attack of two mid-level beast general-level blood demon wolves, Lu Yunhe experienced a life-or-death crisis for the first time.

Under the influence of the 1+1 inequality, the pressure exerted on Lu Yunhe by the two Blood Demon Wolves increased exponentially.

No matter how high Lu Yunhe's cultivation level is or how skillful his exertion is, it cannot change the fact that he only has the foundation of an intermediate-level warrior.

His basic strength was too low, which prevented him from fully utilizing many of his abilities and combat skills.

It's like an apprentice who has grasped the essence of a field, but because they can't release their genetic energy, it's as if they haven't grasped it at all.

Nourishes...

Lu Yunhe narrowly avoided the Blood Demon Wolf's claw, but the sharp claws still managed to tear through the air at close range and slash his cheek.

The enemy's blood excited the Blood Demon Wolves even more, increasing their attack frequency and adding more wounds to Lu Yunhe's body.

The physical pain also stimulated Lu Yunhe's mind. The extremely high frequency of attacks left him exhausted. The injuries to his body and the large consumption of his physical strength made him feel like he was walking on thin ice. Every dodge and attack became deadly.

"a!"

The deadly crisis did not frighten Lu Yunhe; on the contrary, his spirit was more active than ever before, and he felt as if his whole life was burning.

At this moment, he finally understood why so many people in his previous life had gone to extreme sports – it was to experience the physical and mental pressure of life-or-death crises.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Lu Yunhe's genetic energy operated at an unprecedented level, desperately suppressing the potential within his body, because the most fundamental basis of genes is survival.

At the same time, the ball of light within Lu Yunhe's body, formed from Ultraman's clone, was frantically absorbing and releasing pure cosmic energy, maintaining the life force of his human form while providing it with energy for genetic evolution.

Ultimately, the clone has to pay the price for the main body's madness.

"Break it for me!"

Lu Yunhe roared, gripping his sword with his left hand and punching with his right fist at four times the force, directly meeting the charging Blood Demon Wolf.

Bang!

A muffled thud rang out as over 16,000 kilograms of force slammed into the Blood Demon Wolf's head. At the same time, streams of hidden energy penetrated the monster's skin and struck its brain from the outside in.

At the same time, another Blood Demon Wolf attacked. Lu Yunhe performed a perfect mudskipper roll, narrowly avoiding the Blood Demon Wolf by staying close to its belly.

"Take it from behind!"

In the instant the two separated, a gleaming silver sword, imbued with tens of thousands of kilograms of force, pierced directly into the Blood Demon Wolf's anus.

Ouch...

A bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout the Wolf Valley, even causing the Blood Demon Wolf King on the other side to tense up.

Chapter 14 Killing the Wolf King

"Finally reached the level of advanced warrior!"

After killing two mid-level beast generals, the Blood Demon Wolves, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Under the pressure of a life-or-death crisis, his survival instincts pushed his potential to the limit, enabling him to achieve a breakthrough.

Then, with the continuous support of the cosmic energy from the Ultraman clone, the body absorbed cosmic energy at a speed dozens of times faster than usual, eventually reaching a strength of 6000 kilograms.

The magnitude of this increase in power is comparable to the body actively absorbing cosmic energy for the first time.

"Life-or-death crises are indeed the best test of both body and will!"

Lu Yunhe clenched his fist. Of course, even if others constantly experience life-and-death crises, they may not be able to increase their strength by this much. After all, not everyone has an Ultraman clone inside them.

"Wait, with my basic strength as an intermediate warrior, I need to fight intermediate beast generals to have a good training effect. Now that I've reached the advanced warrior level, does that mean I have to fight advanced beast generals?"

That's not the worst part. The key issue is that Lu Yunhe's human strength cultivation is completely unable to keep up with the speed at which his clone's realm is improving.

He has already reached 4 times the power and perfect understanding. Once his Ultraman clone reaches the planetary level, his power exertion skills and understanding of the realm will increase exponentially.

At that point, even warriors fighting generals won't be enough for him; he'll have to fight the God of War.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunhe's lips twitched slightly: "I actually prefer to bully the weak."

"He actually did it!"

At this moment, after Lu Yunhe lured away two intermediate-level beast generals of blood demon wolves, the four people fighting on the other side, with close cooperation, also killed two primary-level beast generals of blood demon wolves and were besieging the remaining intermediate-level beast general and primary-level beast general blood demon wolf.

I was just thinking of getting rid of these two blood demon wolves as soon as possible, but I didn't expect Lu Yunhe to get rid of them even faster.

"Work harder!"

Feeling ashamed, the four suddenly unleashed their full power after Lu Yunhe finished the battle, using a two-on-two strategy to quickly eliminate the enemy.

Unlike Lu Yunhe, who had higher requirements for weapons due to his low basic strength, the four of them had sufficient strength and had all reached the level of intermediate-level warriors.

Therefore, when facing monsters of the same level, even if the weapon quality is slightly inferior, sufficient power is enough to inflict adequate damage.

"Whew, it's finally solved!"

The four men, having finished their battle, plopped down on the ground, panting heavily as they recovered their strength.

"I'll go check on Instructor Dong. You guys rest here for now!"

With the support of Ultraman's clone, Lu Yunhe, whose strength had mostly recovered, took a weapon from the four of them and headed to the last battlefield.

As for the original weapon, Lu Yunhe said he didn't want it anymore.

Although they fought fiercely here, the real battle that will decide the outcome will be on the other side.

If the Blood Demon Wolf King wins in the end, these warriors and generals won't even be able to escape.

Of course, if the Blood Demon Wolf King really achieves this goal, he might be the first to turn into light.

Unlike the nearly evenly matched battle on Lu Yunhe's side, on the other battlefield, Dong Nanbiao, wielding a battle axe, almost completely suppressed the Blood Demon Wolf King.

The Blood Demon Wolf King lived up to its reputation as a lord-level monster. Relying on the inherent high talent of wolves and the enormous size of monsters, it continued to hold on and even thought of counterattacking from time to time.

As he sensed the life force of his kind fading away, the Blood Demon Wolf King grew increasingly anxious.

"My children are all dead. I'd better run away. As long as I'm alive, I can always rebuild."

Wolves are inherently intelligent, and this intelligence is no less than that of humans, especially after they become monsters.

Seeing that defeat was inevitable and sensing that his subordinates had almost completely lost their life force, the Blood Demon Wolf King decided to flee.

Ouch...

Having made up its mind, the Blood Demon Wolf King launched another fierce attack, even determined to perish together with its enemies.

Although they decided to escape, they did not outwardly show any intention to retreat; on the contrary, they were even more aggressive.

As expected, under the Blood Demon Wolf King's fierce attack, Dong Nanbiao, who already had the advantage, did not intend to trade his life for another. While launching a fierce attack, he also spared a sliver of his consciousness for defense.

This slight opening was instantly seized upon by the Blood Demon Wolf King, who then chose to withstand Dong Nanbiao's axe blow head-on, his massive body being directly knocked back.

However, to Dong Nanbiao's surprise, the Blood Demon Wolf King, who had just been acting like a desperate fighter, turned around and ran away the moment it was defeated.

"Haha, a mere human dares to kill the great wolf king."
