Chapter 35: Deadly Sneak Attack

In its eyes, the Demon Ape leader was covered in blood and mist, as if it was a demon king from hell.

It grabbed the two hind legs of the third alpha wolf, and through the power of its waist, it swung the wolf twice in the air at 360 degrees before slamming it to the ground with a vicious over-the-shoulder slam.

With a boom, the ground trembled, raising up a cloud of dust.

But this was only the beginning, and the Demon Ape leader swung up again, smashed down, swung up, and smashed down… a total of seven times before it let go.

Over-the-shoulder Chain Burst Slam… a melee skill that requires great arm strength and lower body strength as support…

Bai Wushang’s mouth was dry, and he didn’t know what to say. This Demon Ape was too strong—ridiculously strong.

On the battlefield, the third, originally valiant and cold-hearted, alpha wolf was beyond dead, just like a large sandbag that had been played with and casually discarded on the ground, its tattered body shocking to the eyes.

An emotion called “fear” rose up in the eyes of the second alpha wolf, and it would never go away.

It subconsciously had to back up and slink away.

But then, as if remembering something, it stopped hard in its tracks.

On the other side.

The Demon Ape leader who had lost the hold on the alpha wolf was like a fierce tiger returning to the mountain, pouncing into the pack of wolves. The ones who tried to stop it were easily blown away with either a slap or a fist. It quickly shielded the last two of its companions.

The pack of wolves whimpered and waited around the perimeter, but they just didn’t dare to come within five meters of the Demon Ape leader.

The Swift Wind Sword Wolves seem to be scared out of their wits, and the Demon Apes have a good chance of being able to escape from this dangerous predicament…

Bai Wushang secretly analyzed the battle situation, and mulled over the possibility of forming a friendship with the Demon Ape leader.

If he could make a contract with such a transcendent creature and make it a pet companion, this trial would be a fruitful one no matter what!

After thinking about it, Bai Wushang sighed instead.

It’s too difficult to capture. If such a pack of sword wolves can’t beat it, what can I do? Transcendent creatures like apes are smart in their own right, relying on crooked ideas can easily botch things up…

It didn’t take long for the blood mist on the Demon Ape leader to dissipate and for its pupils to return to their normal black color.

This meant that it was out of the “blood-burning” status.

In a flash, a sudden change occurred.

A hazy green shadow suddenly rushed out from a tree on one side, as fast as lightning.

It was too fast, so fast that the Demon Ape leader couldn’t react in time, and could only instinctively shift half of its body.

With the sound of sharp teeth cutting flesh, which was accompanied by an extremely miserable scream in the next second, a severed arm flew through the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Bai Wushang looked over to the battlefield, and instantly felt goosebumps.

A huge hideous laceration started on the left side of the Demon Ape leader’s forehead, and spread diagonally all the way to its left shoulder.

Its left horn was cracked on impact, its left eye was blinded, and even worse, its left shoulder was empty and severed at the root!

Blood wouldn’t stop gushing out.

The Demon Ape leader covered its broken shoulder, its whole body spasming and trembling, and its face twisted in pain.

Nonetheless, it only gave a yelp before it gritted its teeth tightly, and forced itself to stand still, glaring at the sneak attacker in front of it.

The green shadow retreated after a single blow, deftly flipping in mid-air, and landing on the ground.

It was on all fours, with sharp claws and a long broomstick-like tail trailing behind it.

It had a greenish-jade-colored fur, and although it was a bit dusty, the soft and silky texture was hard to hide. It was a fine fur that any hunter would love to get.

Most strikingly, its back was densely packed with hundreds of broken blades, many of which still had bright red beads of blood hanging from their tips, glowing with a strange sheen in the sunlight.

Yes, it was a wolf.

A Swift Wind Sword Wolf!

All the wolf cubs around, whether they were wounded and down or near intact in battle power, lowered their heads and whimpered and saluted towards this sword wolf.

Even the only surviving second late-stage alpha wolf lowered its head, not daring to meet its gaze.

This body type…

Bai Wushang pursed his lips subconsciously. This newly appeared Swift Wind Sword Wolf was over four meters long, and was undoubtedly at the peak of its youth.

No wonder. No wonder the wolves are so well-trained, and yet I couldn’t find one that seemed to stand out.

So, the real wolf king has been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the most suitable opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Demon Ape leader…

Bai Wushang’s mood was somewhat complicated, realizing some things while also feeling sorry for the Demon Ape leader.

Having used the Burning Blood not long ago, it had consumed a large amount of heart blood, and now that it was so badly injured, there was no way for it to heal itself much.

The king of the Swift Wind Sword Wolves held its head high as it swept its gaze contemptuously at the Demon Ape leader, its every move filled with a sense of superiority.

Although the attack just now was slightly off, and did not cut off the head of the Demon Ape leader, it didn’t matter; a blind eye, a severed arm, and loss of sufficient recovery ability were enough.

The Demon Apes would surely become dead souls under the claws of the Swift Wind Sword Wolves!

With the leader throwing its head back and giving a long howl, the surrounding pack of wolves immediately followed in response, moving out in full force to pounce on the ordinary Demon Apes in the rear from both sides.

The Demon Ape leader dragged its heavily injured body, and defiantly waved its one arm, about to block.

It was greeted with a Rending Claw, the terrifying claws of the King of the Swift Wind Sword Wolves!

Bai Wushang watched intently, originally expecting that the Demon Ape leader was so badly injured that it would be quickly killed by the Sword Wolf king, but he did not expect reality to once again surpass his expectations.

With brute strength and excellent combat instincts, the Demon Ape leader tangled with the Sword Wolf king for nearly 100 exchanges, always managing to dodge within a very limited space whenever faced with mortal danger.

Although the Demon Ape leader was always on the down side, and the bloody wounds on its body were increasing, just smashing the Sword Wolf king once would force it to take 10 or so steps backward, grunting as blood kept seeping from the corners of its mouth.

After watching for a long time, Bai Wushang had an even higher evaluation of the Demon Ape leader. Using the words of men to describe it, it was “appreciation”, extreme, special appreciation.

In his mind, this was infinitely close to a perfect pet companion!

Is there anything I can do? Is there anything I can do to turn this around so I can save the Demon Ape?

Similar thoughts appeared in Bai Wushang’s mind more than once.

“Ooh~”

The Demon Ape leader could still hold on, but its two clansmen, facing a dozen or so Swift Wind Sword Wolves of the same level, finally couldn’t support themselves.

They gave a sorrowful cry, and looked deeply into the sky, no longer able to resist, and were simply pounced upon and overwhelmed by the pack of wolves.

Seeing this scene, the Demon Ape leader opened its mouth, lost in thought for a moment, and was even unaware of a large chunk of flesh being torn off by the Sword Wolf king’s claw as a result.

All the spirit on its face dissipated little by little, its entire face extremely gray, and tears mixed with blood rolling down its face.

In the next moment, it came back to its senses, gritting its teeth. Its only right eye was wide with rage, and it was clenching its right hand even harder.

“Hou!!!!!”

The Demon Ape leader released a furious roar, resonating through the sky for a long time.

A layer of red blood mist once again emerged on the surface of its body, far denser than before.
