In the forest, there was a pack of over fifty demon wolves. If he were alone, it wouldn’t be a problem; he could leave calmly. But the Empress couldn’t escape.
"Chen Anlin, I’m having an episode. My cultivation can’t be used. Cough, cough, cough," Wu Xixue coughed violently.
Although Chen Anlin could treat her, surrounded by so many demon wolves, he found it impossible to do so.
"Chen Anlin, are you afraid? There are fourth-grade demon wolves around us; that must be the Wolf King!" Wu Xixue continued.
Chen Anlin had indeed noticed the Wolf King. As the leader of the pack, it was distinct from the ordinary demon wolves surrounding it. The Wolf King had a tuft of golden fur on its back, resembling a streak of golden lightning. Its speed was unmatched; while other demon wolves ran towards them, the Wolf King left only a gray afterimage as it advanced swiftly.
"Your Majesty, do you remember what Little Anzi said before?" Chen Anlin whispered.
Wu Xixue paused for a moment. "What did he say?"
"I swear to protect Your Majesty with my life."
At that moment, the Wolf King led its pack to surround the two of them. The Wolf King was excited; this was their territory! It never expected that they would receive such unexpected guests while resting. Looking at the two humans, especially Wu Xixue, whose body seemed weak and devoid of resistance, it salivated at the thought of their tender flesh.
This meant that only Chen Anlin posed a threat to them. Among the pack were one fourth-grade and five fifth-grade demon wolves; most of the rest were sixth and seventh-grade.
Chen Anlin took a deep breath, realizing that demon beasts were indeed formidable; once they reached adulthood, their cultivation naturally increased.
With a swift motion, Chen Anlin drew his mysterious-grade sword. "Come at me if you dare!"
His bold demeanor stunned the wolf pack momentarily. This guy wasn’t afraid at all—could he be quite powerful?
Wu Xixue watched Chen Anlin’s back and felt warmth in her heart. All along, although Chen Anlin had repeatedly professed his loyalty and willingness to die for her, she hadn’t taken it to heart. After all, many people said such things merely to gain her attention.
Now, facing a crisis, if Chen Anlin chose to flee at this moment, she would have considered it normal. Fortunately, she felt reassured that he showed no intention of running away.
He took out the Shadowless Garment and threw it to Wu Xixue. "Your Majesty, this is the Shadowless Garment I obtained earlier. You should put it on quickly."
The Shadowless Garment!
Wu Xixue knew exactly what it was. With a complex look, she glanced at Chen Anlin before putting it on without hesitation.
As Wu Xixue's figure vanished, Chen Anlin felt a sense of relief and sprang into action, moving like lightning.
The Phantom Sword Technique!
Sword energy shot out like darting arrows.
In an instant, the two nearby seventh-grade demon wolves were killed on the spot.
Roar!!
The Wolf King let out an angry roar, urging the pack of demon wolves to attack.
The demon wolves coordinated well, charging fearlessly into battle. Some, even wounded, rushed toward Chen Anlin.
Swish!
One demon wolf brandished its sharp claws and lunged at Chen Anlin.
Its claws were as hard as steel. Chen Anlin narrowly dodged, and the claws struck the large tree behind him.
Boom!
The tree was snapped in half with a single blow, showcasing the immense power behind it.
At that moment, the Wolf King drooled as it stared intently at Chen Anlin, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal strike to this human.
Unbeknownst to it, Chen Anlin was also observing it closely. Only by defeating the Wolf King would the remaining wolves hesitate to attack.
Swish!
Finally, the Wolf King moved. It transformed into a gray flash of lightning and charged toward Chen Anlin with blinding speed, its claws swinging fiercely.
Chen Anlin had no way to evade; fortunately, the Fire-Repelling Garment he wore absorbed the blow.
He stumbled back but seized the opportunity!
Without hesitation, he activated the Nine-Nine Return to One Sword Technique.
He had been waiting for this moment to catch the Wolf King off guard when it got close.
Shoot! Shoot!!
Chen Anlin controlled seven strands of sword intent and shot them directly at the Wolf King.
The Wolf King attempted to dodge but unexpectedly found itself surrounded by the seven strands of sword intent.
With a sudden burst, two strands of sword intent pierced into its body. The Wolf King let out a mournful howl as it fell to the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
Chen Anlin did not give it a moment to think; seven strands of sword intent surged forward once more. At that moment, the other wolf demons, desperate to protect their leader, launched a frenzied counterattack against Chen Anlin.
He now faced two choices. One was to abandon his attack on the Wolf King and evade the assaults from the other wolf demons. The other was to withstand their attacks and focus on killing the Wolf King.
Chen Anlin decisively chose the latter.
"Die!" he roared, unleashing his sword intent once again.
Fear flashed in the Wolf King's eyes as it was pinned to the ground, completely immobilized.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, the attacks from the other wolf demons rained down upon Chen Anlin. Their sharp claws tore through his clothes. Although the Fire-Repelling Armor absorbed some of the lethal blows, his arms and legs were still shredded.
His left shoulder was exposed, revealing stark white bone beneath.
If only the Shield Jade still had energy...
Gritting his teeth, Chen Anlin held on. Now that the Wolf King was finally dealt with, only a few weaker wolf demons remained!
Let’s see who dares to come near!
Channeling seven strands of sword intent around him, he threatened, "I advise you all to think wisely and leave now!"
