The other three Werewolf Warriors also charged forward fearlessly, tangling with him.
Xu Wuyi was briefly surrounded, but he remained perfectly composed.
The fundantals of his Eight-direction Soul Suppressing Spear technique ca into play. The long spear danced, forming an impenetrable defense around him that precisely parried one fatal attack after another.
The shaft of his spear clashed against claws and weapons, producing a continuous series of explosive cracks.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to combine the Shocking God Spear with his Undying Fla and secure a decisive victory!
Finally, after taking a powerful, heavy claw strike from the Wolfman War General head-on, Xu Wuyi retreated slightly. In that instant, a Werewolf Warrior thought it saw an opening. Howling, it pounced from the right, aiming for his exposed flank.
’Now’s the ti!’
A sharp glint flared in Xu Wuyi’s eyes!
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, his long spear swiveled back strangely. It moved at an unbelievable angle, pointing toward the pouncing Werewolf Warrior. The movent wasn’t fast, but a point of extre Dark Gold Fla began to condense on its tip!
"Splitting God!"
It wasn’t an attack on the physical body. Instead, it precisely detonated the wisp of the Undying Fla’s spiritual imprint that he had quietly placed on the creature’s body earlier!
VMMMM—!
An invisible spiritual shockwave erupted from the Werewolf Warrior, spreading outward!
Its lunge froze mid-air. Its crimson eyes filled with confusion and agony, as if its very soul were being ripped apart!
At the sa ti, the wisp of dark gold fla erupted as if doused in boiling oil, instantly engulfing the werewolf!
SIZZLE—
A sound of burning that set one’s teeth on edge filled the air. Before the Werewolf Warrior could even scream, it rapidly dissolved in the Dark Gold Fla, turning into a small pile of ash!
This strange and terrifying sight made the other two Werewolf Warriors falter, a flicker of instinctual fear flashing in their eyes.
Even the frenzied Wolfman War General’s assault paused for a beat.
And that montary pause was exactly what Xu Wuyi needed!
The Qi and Blood in his body erupted like a volcano as he instantly activated lting Furnace Boiling Blood!
A violent, scorching aura erupted from him, overpowering the pervasive stench of sulfur in the air!
"Die!"
He bellowed, his voice like a crack of thunder!
He and the long spear in his hand seed to rge into one. The dark gold Undying Fla completely wreathed the spear’s shaft, burning so fiercely that the very air around it began to warp!
The thrust was faster than the eye could follow!
The Wolfman War General saw only a streak of dark gold lightning tear through the darkness. The next mont, boundless, searing pain and a terrifying ntal assault simultaneously overwheld its consciousness!
SQUELCH—!
The teor Iron Long Spear pierced its heart without any resistance!
The rampaging Undying Fla, along with the Splitting God characteristic, erupted inside its body!
The Wolfman War General’s massive body stiffened, and the light in its crimson pupils rapidly faded.
It opened its mouth, as if to let out one last roar, but only a plu of black smoke escaped.
Dark gold flas seeped out from within, rapidly spreading across its entire body.
Xu Wuyi expressionlessly withdrew his long spear.
The Wolfman War General collapsed with a trendous crash. Under the incineration of the Undying Fla, it was quickly reduced to charcoal, leaving behind only a smoldering husk.
Seeing this, the two remaining Werewolf Warriors completely lost their will to fight. They let out terrified whimpers and turned to flee.
’As if I’d let them get away.’
He activated Instant Shadow Step. His figure moved like lightning, his spear like the grim reaper’s scythe, leaving a trail of dark gold fla as it precisely and coldly pierced each of them through the heart from behind.
The battle was over.
From the beginning of the ambush to the complete elimination of the five werewolves, the entire process took less than three minutes.
Xu Wuyi stood with his spear in hand, breathing lightly.
The continuous explosive attacks, especially that final thrust which had condensed all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, had taken a significant toll on him.
He quickly took out an elixir to replenish his Qi and Blood and swallowed it, his eyes sweeping over the battlefield.
Of the five werewolves, aside from the one detonated by Splitting God and the one pierced through the heart, the other corpses were relatively intact. However, they were all beginning to be consud by the residual power of the Undying Fla.
He walked over, placed his right palm on the corpses, and circulated his Qi and Blood.
A much stronger Dark Gold Fla flared to life, engulfing all the werewolf corpses, along with their weapons, the bloodstains, and even the most obvious traces of the battle.
The sound of intense sizzling filled the air.
In just a few monts, only several patches of scorched earth and a few piles of ash remained.
A strong, acrid sll of burning spread through the area, overpowering the original stench of blood.
Xu Wuyi carefully scanned his surroundings, confirming there were no other enemies lying in wait. He also didn’t find any communication devices.
’This squad seems to have been purely for reconnaissance or patrol,’ he thought.
He didn’t linger. With a single movent, he vanished like a phantom, heading back toward the camp.
「...」
Back in the camp, Xiang Yong and Liu Qing heard the sounds of battle abruptly cease, followed by an unnerving silence. Their hearts tightened with anxiety.
Just then, a figure erged silently from the darkness. It was Xu Wuyi.
His breathing was steady. Other than a fine sheen of sweat on his brow, he had no obvious injuries. Only the tip of his teor Iron Long Spear seed to retain a faint, almost imperceptible dark gold ember.
"It’s done," Xu Wuyi said, his voice as calm as ever, as if he’d just handled a trivial matter. "One War General and four warriors. No survivors. I’ve also cleaned up the scene."
Xiang Yong and Liu Qing looked at him, a complex emotion in their eyes.
To single-handedly eliminate a Werewolf Squad led by a War General, and to do it so cleanly... his strength was...
"Good!" Xiang Yong clapped Xu Wuyi heavily on the shoulder, a look of relief and satisfaction on his face. "Beautifully done! That should buy us a few days of peace!"
Liu Qing also let out a small sigh of relief. She nodded at Xu Wuyi, a trace of admiration in her eyes.
Hearing the conversation outside, the three researchers inside the Energy Shield finally relaxed completely, their faces filled with the relief of having survived a close call.
Xu Wuyi walked to the side, sat down cross-legged, and began to ditate to restore his energy.
Though the fight had been brief, its intensity was extrely high. The drain on his Spirit and Qi and Blood was significant, and he needed to return to his peak condition as quickly as possible.
The countdown continued to tick away silently: [226:42:11].
The imdiate crisis was over, but the ten-day mission had only just begun.
Xiang Yong walked over to Professor Chen, who was organizing samples. His tone was grave. "Professor, the fact that a Werewolf Squad appeared this close ans their sphere of activity already covers this area."
"It’s highly likely there’s a temporary Werewolf Race camp nearby, maybe even an outpost."
He paused for a mont before continuing, "We took care of them, so we might be safe for a short while. But it won’t be long before their side realizes a squad is missing. When that happens, they’ll definitely intensify their search. This location is no longer safe."
Upon hearing this, Professor Chen’s salt-and-pepper eyebrows knitted together tightly.
He glanced at the blue-glowing ore in his hand, then at the other two researchers, whose faces still showed traces of lingering terror. He nodded decisively. "I understand."
"We’re seventy percent done with data collection, and we’ve already secured the most critical samples. We’ll speed things up, prioritize the key areas. We have to relocate by this ti tomorrow, at the latest!"
"Good." That was the response Xiang Yong had been hoping for.
