Chapter 33: Forcefully Slaying the Wolf King!

  Welcome!

  Qin Yun stood his ground without dodging or flinching, tossing the hunting bow in his hand to the ground, and within a breath, he drew out the Qinglian sword tied behind his back.

  Hmph!

  A flash of sword light, the long sword pierced into the lower jaw of the Crimson-eyed Snow Wolf, slantingly penetrating its throat!

  A burst of blood rain shot out from behind the crimson-eyed snow wolf's neck!

  Similarly simple sword-drawing and thrusting, compared to a month ago, Qin Yun's hand speed has increased by at least 50%, with significant improvements in both strength and accuracy.

  What's more, his action of drawing sword to kill the enemy in one breath is smooth and flowing like clouds and water, with no dragging or hesitation, and there is a subtle rhythm that is pleasing to the eye.

  The Qinghua sword withdrew at the moment it pierced the throat of the Red-eyed Snow Wolf, not even giving the wolf's corpse a chance to press against the sword body. The sword tip swept horizontally to the right, drawing a dazzling arc and slashing across the head of another Red-eyed Snow Wolf.

  The snow wolf's eyes and skull were instantly severed, it let out a miserable howl as it continued to pounce forward for several steps before heavily falling onto the grass.

  And Qin Yun finally moved when he swung out this sword.

  He dodged to the right, narrowly avoiding a third Snow Wolf's ferocious pounce from behind.

  A magic trick of moving objects with one's mind!

  Qin Yun suddenly turned around, the Qingxiao sword rose high and then fell sharply, carrying a piercing whistle that cut into the snow wolf's hind waist!

  Slashing Sword Style!

  The ambushing snow wolf was cut in half at the waist, and fresh blood mixed with internal organs sprayed onto the ground.

  It lay on the ground wailing pitifully and had not died yet.

  In just one or two breaths of time, the three-headed crimson-eyed snow wolf was killed by Qin Yun, and the wolf pack's fierce offensive was instantly thwarted.

  However, Qin Yun was not satisfied with just defending and counterattacking.

  He took a deep breath and turned around to face the direction where the wolf king was, taking a big step forward.

  Without a moment of hesitation, he used his Thousand Mile Divine Stride's Ten Steps Technique!

  Unlike Fang Cun, the Ten Steps Method requires the flow of all meridians and acupoints in both legs to be unblocked before it can be executed. Qin Yun had just reached the required level and hadn't practiced it yet, but the entire method was already etched in his mind.

  Capture the thief first capture the king, his active attack target is only one - Ice Snow Wolf King.

  However, there was a distance of hundreds of steps between the two sides, and the wolf king had many guards around him. The only way to catch him off guard was to approach at the fastest speed possible.

  So Qin Yun naturally used his Ten Steps!

  Qianli Shenxing is not complicated, and as the tenth step of the second layer of Gongfa, it's even simpler. Qin Yun's Qi enters the meridians directly to the acupoints, and with a raise of his hand or a movement of his foot, he can apply it.

  As he took a step down, his speed suddenly accelerated, and when he took the second step, he was already four steps away!

  This means that the distance he can reach by taking one step forward now is three times what it used to be!

  Step by step, Qin Yun's figure was like an arrow flying forward, each footstep landing only on the tip of his toes in the snowy ground, and his speed got faster and faster!

  As vanguards, a dozen or so red-eyed snow wolves didn't even have time to intercept, and by the time they realized what was happening, Qin Yun and the Wolf King's distance had shortened to only thirty or forty steps!

  However, the Snow Wolf guards around the Wolf King reacted quickly, and seven or eight crimson-eyed Snow Wolves immediately let out low growls, rushing up to intercept Qin Yun.

  Waiting for you!

  Qin Yun's dark eyes flashed with a cold light, his figure hesitating for a moment, as if he was about to stop and prepare to engage in battle with the Snow Wolf Guards.

  However, the Qinghua sword in his hand slashed forward, and a layer of misty red light suddenly appeared on the silver sword body, with layers of sword light flashing by, bringing forth waves of scorching heat that spread to all sides.

  Flames shatter iron walls!

  Qin Yun and Qing Guang sword merged into a long, crimson blade that shot forward at an incredible speed, several times faster than before!

  Boom!

  A snow wolf guardian rushing head-on was unable to dodge and collided with Chi Meng, its entire body bursting open instantly, severed limbs and flesh splashing everywhere.

  Chi Yan's speed didn't decrease in the slightest, instantly covering dozens of steps, and struck straight at the Snow Wolf King!

  Yan Po Tie Bi is the most ferocious and sharp move among Qin Yun's four forms of fierce fire swordsmanship, one sword slash that does not break or return, with an aura that is most in line with his temperament.

  Before breaking through the second heavy boundary of Lianqi, he could only show off his power within ten steps with Yanpo Tiebi.

  However, after the baptism of life and death in the Small Universe and the breakthrough of boundaries, the power of this sword move has also made a rapid progress, and the range of attack has increased greatly!

  The Snow Wolf King apparently did not expect Qin Yun's offensive to come so suddenly, and he instinctively took a step back, his icy blue wolf eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.

  However, as the leader of a pack of wolves, the Snow Wolf King's pride and dignity do not allow it to show weakness in front of its enemies.

  So Snow Wolf King took a step back and his chest heaved, opening his mouth wide to spew out a cloud of white mist at the rapidly approaching Red Thorn.

  This mass of icy fog rapidly expanded in front of it, forming a thick barrier that blocked the way for Chi Meng.

  Boom!

  The red mang and the icy fog collided fiercely, countless ice chips danced in the sky, and the red mang transformed by the Qing Feng sword also dissipated.

  Qin Yun's figure reappeared once more.

  He also didn't expect that his must-win sword would be broken by Snow Wolf King in such a strange way.

  The chill of dispersing cold air hit him in the face, making his face feel numb from the cold, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.

  Qin Yun had no experience fighting against demonic beasts before, and his understanding of demonic beasts all came from that thick Nine Provinces Demon Spirit Atlas.

  But what was learned from books and actual combat were different, the sword's momentum was broken by Han Yi's sudden attack, and the originally smooth continuous attacks came to a halt.

  The wolf king guards beside him suddenly woke up from their dream and immediately howled and turned around to fly and protect their master.

  And the Ice Snow Wolf King did not waste the opportunity, suddenly pouncing and jumping up, three sharp claws popped out from the front paw pads, fiercely scratching towards Qin Yun's throat.

  If this grab is successful, Qin Yun will be torn open even if he uses his true energy to protect his throat. Even if the skin is only slightly broken, the icy toxic force condensed on the wolf's claws can still invade his body.

  As an ice-water system demon beast, Snow Wolf King's strength lies in its mouth and claws!

  The Snow Wolf King's sudden counterattack shocked Qin Yun, but the will that had been tempered by life and death in the Small Dry Universe did not falter.

  He dodged sideways with a swift step, employing his skill of "square inch shift" to swiftly and unscrupulously slip through the gap between the two Snow Wolf Guards.

  The wolf king's paw swiped across his back shoulder, the sharp claw tip tearing through the wolfskin jacket but failing to harm the body.

  Even so, Qin Yun still felt a chill run down his spine from behind.

  Awesome!

  Qin Yun, who narrowly escaped disaster, did not pull back. He stopped his momentum by tapping the tip of his right foot on the ground and suddenly turned around to swing his sword.

  Slashing Sword Style!

  This sword was a completely unexpected counterattack. Although the sword style was ordinary, its speed and power were fierce, exceeding the previous few swords.

  The Snow Wolf King had just pounced from behind Qin Yun, but no matter how ferocious and cunning it was, it couldn't have anticipated Qin Yun's counterattack coming so swiftly.

  Hmph!

  The Azure Blade fell from the back of the Snow Wolf King, cutting off a piece of its hindquarters along with its entire tail, and fresh blood spurted out several feet from the wound!

  As a low-level demon beast, Snow Wolf King's defensive capabilities are not strong.

  The Qinglian sword in Qin Yun's hand, condensed with 90% of the true energy, was enough to cut through gold and iron. If this sword were to be unleashed half a fraction faster, it would have directly severed Snow Wolf King's waist!

  Ahh! ~

  The heavily injured Ice Wolf King trembled all over and squeezed out a painful low howl from his throat.

  However, it did not counterattack, and after landing, its four limbs exerted force and jumped forward violently, as if trying to escape!

  This is the difference between a demon beast and an ordinary wild beast, as demon beasts usually possess a certain level of spiritual intelligence, with top-level demon beasts having wisdom similar to that of humans.

  However, it is precisely because of their wisdom that many demons often do not have the simple-minded bravery of ordinary wild beasts.

  It's not easy for them to become demonic beasts, and they need a combination of opportunities, bloodlines, and environment. Once they have wisdom, they will cherish their lives just like humans do, and they won't be as reckless and fearless of death as ordinary wolves.

  So when the Ice Snow Wolf King was injured, its first reaction was not to find Qin Yun and fight to the death, but to immediately abandon its own subordinates and escape!

  As long as the green hills are there, we won't worry about firewood! Snow Wolf King may not understand this proverb that has been passed down through the nine states, but he absolutely understands this principle.

  It just wants to escape, but Qin Yun doesn't want to!

  In the blink of an eye, Qin Yun's gaze swept to the Snow Wolf Guard rushing to his side, but he didn't hesitate at all, letting out a loud roar as he swung the Qinghua Sword.

  At the moment when the sword's momentum reached its strongest point, his right hand grasping the hilt suddenly opened up, and his arm along with his wrist suddenly exerted force to push forward!

  Wow!

  The Qinghua sword shot out like an arrow off the string, chasing after the fleeing Snow Wolf King!

  Throwing Sword Style!

  The most special move among the 12 basic sword techniques is the final killing blow with no other choice!

  Qin Yun certainly had a choice, he could have swung his sword to block the snow wolf guards that were pouncing on him, and calmly killed them one by one.

  But then, the extremely fast Snow Wolf King will surely dash into the mountain forest and disappear from sight.

  This was absolutely not the result Qin Yun wanted, so he made the most resolute choice.

  The sword went like a rainbow, and in the blink of an eye it caught up with the Snow Wolf King that was fleeing wildly, accurately stabbing into its wound on its hindquarters which was still bleeding. Whether it was the speed or angle of the attack, both were perfect to the extreme!

  The sword pierced through the body without any resistance, leaving only the hilt outside!

  Ahh!

  The Snow Wolf King let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering howl, leaping up several feet high, and splashing down a string of fresh blood, looking extremely shocking.

  It fell back to the ground, convulsing and staggering forward a few steps before collapsing headfirst into the snow!

  Qin Yun, who had lost his Qinghua Sword, was bitten by two Snow Wolves at almost the same time.

  One bite gripped his right arm, another bit into his left leg. The sharp fangs pierced through his clothes and sank into the flesh and blood, even causing a violent friction with the bone.

  Fresh blood immediately seeped out of the wound and quickly stained the shirt red!
