Chapter 193: Killing The Pack Leader
The archers were in suitable positions as they fired their arrows. However, the first was dense and the wolves were cunning. They already noticed that there were hunters who were aiming at them with arrows.
Therefore, all the wolves heard the howl of the alpha as they charged toward the expedition team in a zigzag pathway.
The archers tried to take down the alpha first as they imbued their arrows with their internal qi. However, the alpha wolf was cunning as it seemed to notice the incoming arrows towards him.
With a swat of his paw, he crushed the arrows.
” They are here!”
” Prepare to engage!”
The guards of the Cai Family and the disciples of Crimson Dagger Dojo stood forward, with their weapons ready.
As the wolves charged out from the bushes, they attacked them with all their might.
” Kill! Kill those beasts!”
” Leave none of them alive!!”
The wolves were larger in size as they pounced on the guards. However, the guards of the Cai Family were seasoned fighters. Holding their spears, they marched forward.
” Crimson Frenzy Slash!”
Sang Qiuliu snorted as she as she swung her sword. The crimson internal qi seeped into her sword as it turned into shadows, slashing at the wolves.
Meanwhile, two soldiers of the Cai Family stood forward as they held shields. Their shields flashed with a blue radiance as they blocked the surge of the wolves.
*BANG! BANGG!*
The claws of the wolves crashed on the shields, making the blue light tremble. However, the guards didn’t back down as they blocked the attack repeatedly.
The spearmen stood behind them as they attacked the wolves whose attacks got blocked. The team of five guards worked in a formation, dealing with the wolves with precision.
However, the wolves are powerful beasts, with overwhelming power and endurance. Not to mention, there are more than fifty of them, with the alpha controlling them from behind.
Jia Hao finally witnessed the power of the colored internal qi for the first time.
With the crimson internal qi, Sang Qiuliu’s sword was turned excessively sharp, cutting through the thick fur of the demonic wolves with ease.
Not to mention, the power, the precision, Sang Qiuliu was perfect in all.
Meanwhile, the guards with blue internal qi were powerful. However, they focused more on defense. Their body strength and vitality were stronger than average, making them perfect as vanguards.
Using them as defense, the guards attacked the weak points of the wolves, finishing them early.
‘ But, I can’t see the flow of internal qi in Zhou Yan’s body. No, It’s not that he isn’t using it.’ Jia Hao’s eyes squinted.
‘ It’s just that he is so powerful that he is using the minimal amount of energy to kill the wolf. However, the effect was better than any martial artist of Profound Awakening Realm.’
Jia Hao didn’t waste any time as the wolves were getting killed by others. Holding his sword, his Sage’s Divine Eyes flashed.
Strange enough, he felt like the movements of these wolves slowed, making him look at their opening and flaws.
His saber became scalding hot as Jia Hao slashed out. His movements were fast and swift, making the saber even deadlier.
The saber was very heavy. However, Jia Hao with his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art managed to use it with as he pleased. However, he could feel the steady consumption of internal energy from his dantian.
‘ The saber really eating my internal energy, as if I am using some sort of technique. However, this consumption isn’t heavy and something I can manage easily.’ Jia Hao thought inwardly as he looked at walked he killed.
The wolves gave more Miracle Point and blood vitality than other beasts Jia Hao had killed. A single wolf gave him more than 200 Miracle points at once.
Everyone was focused on the fight. However, at that moment, a loud cry rang across the forest, making the wind blow.
The soldiers faltered when the howl hit him, making their bodies tremble. At that moment, the wolves overpowered them instantly.
Even the arches on the tree trembled, making on of them fall down.
As the wolves pounced at him, he closed his eyes in fear.
However, a saber flashed, killing a wolf and repelling another.
Zhou Yan looked at the situation and shouted. ” It’s the Alpha! It used the Dominant Howl! It will suppress the opponent, increasing their fear!”
Jia Hao instantly noticed the fear and paralysis of the soldiers. The only people who weren’t affected were Li Qing and Zhou Yan. Even Sang Qiuliu was affected by the howl of the wolf.
With his tree of desire active, Jia Hao could see that the fear was making everyone slow down. Two of them already lost to the wolves, However, Sang Qiuliu moved to save them.
‘ Is that a mix of physical and mental skill?’ Jia Hao’s mind raced as he tried to think of a way to solve this problem, Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as he thought of a solution.
‘ If this skill induces fear in a creature’s mind…What if I override it?’
Jia Hao focused his thoughts as he used his Six Desires Myriad Thought Art. Manipulating his desire qi, Jia Hao poured them into the people affected by the Alpha’s howl.
” Everyone! Don’t fear these mere beasts!” Jia Hao’s words charged them with enthusiasm, making their fear slowly replaced with anger.
” You want to be suppressed by these lowly beasts? Get hold of yourself and kill those filthy mutts!”
Jia Hao felt multiple leaves of the tree of desire withered as the desire qi slowly made all the soldiers angry. Hearing Jia Hao’s words, they felt anger and hate towards the wolves, overriding their fear.
” Charge!”
” Kill those bastards!”
” Damned mutts! Eat my spear!”
Sang Qiuliu and Zhou Yan were surprised when they saw the sudden change of events. The fighters who were cowering earlier are now filled with fighting spirit.
” Everyone!” Jia Hao shouted. ” Let’s focus on killing that Alpha first! Without a leader, these wolves would be easy to kill!”
” Young Lord, We shall open a path for you!”
” I shall help too!
Sang Qiuliu and the soldiers of the Cai Family acted together as they paved an opening for Jia Hao and others.
Zhou Yan moved as he followed Jia Hao. ” I shall take care of it.”
” No, Stay behind me and help me to block its attack.” Jia Hao replied. ” I shall be the one taking care of it.”
Jia Hao utilized the Fading Moon Steps as his body became a blur. Crossing the distance instantly, Jia Hao swung his saber.
The saber filled with Jia Hao’s power as it slashed at the Alpha. However, the Alpha was cunning, realizing Jia Hao’s intention easily.
*CLANG!*
It swatted its palm to block Jia Hao’s saber. With a wince, it saw its nails breaking. However, The Alpha blocked Jia Hao’s attack.
Jia Hao was also stunned as he didn’t expect the beast to block his attack. But it simply increased his fighting intent.
*AWOOOO!*
Pouncing back, The Alpha opened its mouth, letting out a large howl. Jia Hao sensed the danger as his body flickered, jumping to another position.
The grasses and leaves on the ground crushed as the howl of the Alpha was like a sonic attack, dealing physical damage to the surroundings.
Suddenly, a dagger turned into a ray of light as it shot toward the Alpha. The Alpha sensed the danger as it tried to dodge.
However, the dagger was too fast, making it stab the Alpha’s joins. The Alpha whimpered in pain as it tried to lung towards Zhou Yan.
However, it saw a shadow flickering beside him as he saw a flash of silver.
*PSSSS!*
Jia Hao jumped forward as he stabbed his saber into the neck of the Alpha, making the blood splattered.
The Alpha swung its palm to claw Jia Hao. However, Jia Hao simply let go of his saber and retreated. Jumping towards the back of the Alpha, Jia Hao summoned strength in his fist.
Mixing the Basic Fist Technique and Rock Shattering Fist, Jia Hao punched the place where the dagger was stabbed.
*CRACCK!*
The sound of the bone cracking echoed as the Alpha fell on the ground, without being able to get up.
Seeing that, the other wolves became panicked, as without their leader, they were nothing.
” This is the moment! Kill them!” Sang Qiuliu shouted.
” Charge!”
” Kill them all!”
Not long after, the expedition team hunted all the Green Eyed Wolves. There were no casualties, though there were some serious injuries.
” These wolves were stronger than average beasts. Each of them reached Low rank beast stage.” Sang Qiuliu frowned.
” And this Alpha, It’s already…reached High stage.” Zhou Yan frowned.
” But it merely gained some intelligence and power. It’s obviously weaker than regular High rank beasts.”
Cracking open its skull, there was a small crystal inside.
” Wow, It has a core!”
Everyone’s eyes sparkled when they saw the core. It looked gray and muddy, but it was a core nonetheless.
Zhou Yan threw it at Jia Hao. ” Here, Your spoil.”
Jia Hao chuckled as he kept it. However, it instantly turned into dust as he pocketed it, making his expression odd.
‘ The fuck? Why did you absorb the core? I didn’t gave you permission yet!’
Jia Hao screamed at the Pot of Miracles.
[ Because Auto Absorption mode is one. Do you wish to disable?]
Jia Hao’s expression turned odd.
‘ Is this some black mobile comany?’
