Chapter 44: Encounter (3)
Yang Wei was confident to win now that he has Xiao Wei by his side since the Lightning Wolf has stopped being aggressive.
“RAWR”
The Lightning Wolf roared as he clenched his teeth tightly in this sudden change.
Yang Wei smiled as he positioned himself to be aggressive this time but before he could leap to strike the beast, Elder Jing’s voice echoed.
“Yang Wei, put Xiao Wei back into your core and fight alone. I said to fight solo and not have a helper.” Elder Jing said as she continued to stand in the tree branch.
Yang Wei was confused as he eximed, “But Xiao Wei is a part of my strength so wouldn’t it be logical for me to have it with me in a fight.”
“Do you know what a trump card means?”
“It means having something unexpected as you keep it hidden until the perfect timing to show it out.”
Yang Wei said without thinking and Elder Jing nodded her head as she curved her lips upward.
“If you knew that a trump card is meant to be hidden until the very end, then what do you think you’re doing by showing Xiao Wei this quickly?” Elder Jing questioned and made Yang Wei speechless.
With a helpless expression, Yang Wei sighed as he ordered Xiao Wei to go back into his core.
“Well, you’re lucky, Lightning Wolf.” Yang Wei said as he pointed his sword toward the much-delighted beast.
A savage grin appeared on his horrific face as he licked his mouth. The beast was excited to see his opponent stopped having assistance but he remained cautious.
Instead of lunging forward, the Lightning Wolf did something unexpected.
He started growling and some lighting bolt began to gather around his mouth.
‘You’re joking with me right.’ Yang Wei cursed inwardly as he saw the Lightning Wolf is activating some sort of lightning.
“It’s one of their most fearsome techniques, Lightning st, and good luck Yang Wei,” Elder Jing exined to Yang Wei about the technique.
Shortly after, the Lightning Wolf shoots the lightning st toward Yang Wei and the ground starts to tremble from the power.
Yang Wei hurriedly activated his spatial barrier to defend the attack. s, the barrier was unable to absorb most of the impact as it shattered into pieces.
BANG!
Yang Wei crashed backward as he got hit by lightning. Though Yang Wei took some damage, it wasn’t critical since he managed to use his left arm to block the strike.
However, the Lightning Wolf was not done as it continued to use this technique to fire at Yang Wei.
He has learned his lesson that closebat is Yang Wei’s forte so fighting long-ranged is the best tactic.
Yang Wei managed to dodge all the lightning sts since he was prepared, unlike the first time where he was surprised and had shaky movement.
Running around in circles, Yang Wei couldn’t get close to the Lightning Wolf as it will continue to retreat back while firing more lightning.
‘Damn it, this Lightning Wolf is just like his name. Everything is about lightning in the end. Lightning power and lightning movement.’
Yang Wei could only use his sword to block most of the technique but every time he did that, the impact would push him backward.
Yang Wei has tried to use the thirteen sword sh move against the Lightning Wolf but given his swift movement, he could only sh at empty air.
Time slowly passed as this fight continued to remain stagnant but it was obvious that Yang Wei was slowly losing in endurance.
The Lightning Wolf squinted his eyes as he believed it’s time to end this fight.
“AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
With onest roar, the Lightning Wolf concentrated everything in this final st to fire at Yang Wei.
As he started gathering the st in his mouth, the Lightning Wolf sensed something trembles below him.
He lowered his head to look under and was surprised to see the ground started to soften. The ground copsed and the Lightning Wolf fell straight down as he couldn’t react in time to move away.
BOOOOOOOOOOM
The Lightning Wolf fell into a pit since the ground could no longer hold his body upward due to the insane qi gathering in his mouth.
Yang Weiughed as he wiped off some of the blood in his mouth. “Unexpected right?”
Yang Wei stared at the Lightning Wolf in the pit as he finally caught him.
“Did you really think I was only aiming at the air with my sh? I knew that I can nevernd a direct hit with your swift movement so I decided to target the ground secretly.”
Yang Wei taunted as he smiled evilly at the Lightning Wolf. The Lightning Wolf was enraged as he tried to leap upward but Yang Wei easily mmed him back down with his sword.
“Sorry, but I did not give you permission toe back up. Also, it’s my…” Yang Wei said slowly as he used his true qi to activate the second sh of the technique onto the Lightning Wolf.
In an extremely narrowed pit and nowhere to run, the Lightning Wolf screamed in agony as it took the full impact.
Within a few seconds, the Lightning Wolf drew his final breath.
Seeing the beast finally died after a long fight, Yang Wei finished hisst sentence, “It’s my win.”
Elder Jing also jumped down and pped her hand in approval. “Seems like you can use your brain in a fight like this.”
“If I didn’t use my brain and panic then I would have most likely died. The Lightning Wolf was a smart beast and because of that, he wasn’t willing to do closebat with me.” Yang Wei said and continued.
“I won because of luck and not due to my insane prowess. I still have a lot of ws since this could only work against a beast. If my enemy was a human then he would have long noticed my trick.”
Yang Wei sighs as he didn’t feel aplished in killing a beast in the Core Formation realm.
Elder Jing smiled secretly as she was happy that Yang Wei didn’t celebrate like he was a strong cultivator.
‘It’s good to know you have ws and strive to work on it.’
cing her hand on Yang Wei’s shoulder, Elder Jing patted lightly and said, “Now that you’ve finished killing the beast and learned something. It’s time to get down there and dissect the meat.”
