Chapter 316: The Wolf King’s Severed Tail
Nirvana let out a roar and gathered nearly a thousand undead in front of Chu Chen.
The commotion naturally caught the attention of Shadow Kill, who stared at the elite squad of Iron Waist Celestial Wolves, eyes filled with astonishing killing intent.
The insect wings vibrated fiercely, and its figure disappeared instantly from where it stood.
At this moment, the dozen Iron Waist Celestial Wolves were attacking the Undead Army with all their might, paying no attention to the situation behind them.
A figure silently appeared in their midst, and a black and gold domain instantly enveloped them, while the dark golden blade light flickered continuously among the wolves, the mournful howls echoing through the squad.
It was Shadow Kill who struck, and after the Demon-Slaying Blade Domain vanished, more than half of the Iron Waist Celestial Wolves were slain, with the remaining six or seven severely injured.
Nirvana immediately ordered the Undead Army to surround them.
With a few screams, the special task force executing the decapitation plan was completely wiped out.
The Wolf King watched all this, raising its head to let out an angry howl.
The wolf pack, sensing the Wolf King's rage, intensified their attacks, becoming more ferocious and frantic.
Since neither side could succeed in their decapitation attempts, the only option left was an all-out battle.
As time passed, the numbers on both sides dwindled at an alarming rate.
In just a quarter of an hour, the Undead Army had only over a thousand left, and the wolf pack fared worse, reducing to less than a hundred.
The Wolf King fixed its eyes on Chu Chen, the anger in its gaze almost palpable.
Noticing the Wolf King, Chu Chen's expression turned grave, realizing that both sides had suffered significant losses, and the eventual victor was uncertain.
However, the Wolf King had not yet acted, still in peak condition, while Shadow Kill, Cage, and Feng Shuang were greatly depleted, with around 20% Star Power and physical strength remaining.
As for Nirvana, it was in a better situation than the other three beasts, still at peak physical stamina, though its Star Power was nearly exhausted. If it faced the Wolf King at peak condition, it wouldn't stand a chance.
Chu Chen sighed, raising his hand to retrieve an extremely precious Sixth-Grade Star Power Pill from the Spatial Ring.
Without any hesitation, he fed the pill directly into Nirvana's mouth.
The potency of the Sixth-Grade Star Power Pill was formidable, and within just a few breaths, Nirvana's body was filled with Star Power.
Daring not to be negligent, Nirvana immediately focused much of its spirit on absorbing the Star Power.
As a result, the Undead Army became somewhat chaotic, while under the Wolf King's command, the wolf pack began to counterattack.
Seeing this, Chu Chen shouted in a deep voice, "Shadow Kill, stop them."
Shadow Kill nodded solemnly, dragging its weary body back into the wolf pack once again.
Cage and Feng Shuang also mustered their remaining Star Power, attempting to use their skills to hold off the wolf pack.
Thoughts are always hopeful, but reality is harsh. At this moment, the wolf pack was already in a frenzy, their eyes red with fury as they stared at the Undead Army, crazed expressions in their eyes.
Faced with Cage and Feng Shuang's skills, the wolf pack did not dodge, caring little for the injuries they sustained.
The exhaustion on both sides continued, with the Undead Army's numbers dwindling rapidly, and the same happening to the wolf pack.
Nevertheless, the Wolf King still did not move, its gaze fixed on Shadow Kill, evidently wary.
As time went on, the numbers on both sides diminished until the last Iron Waist Celestial Wolf fell.
The Undead Army had only a dozen or so left.
Seeing this, Chu Chen said in a deep voice, "Nirvana, it's enough."
Nirvana stopped at those words, and the remaining undead returned to the embrace of the earth.
The Wolf King, seeing the exhausted Shadow Kill, let out an angry roar and lunged towards it with a sudden burst of strength.
Shadow Kill showed no signs of panic, having already anticipated the Wolf King's intention. With a quick sidestep, it easily avoided the attack, its insect wings fluttering rapidly as it vanished back into the shadows.
The Wolf King, intending to pursue, was interrupted by the sound of air being sliced. It quickly changed direction to evade.
"Boom"
A loud explosion erupted next to it, leaving a deep pit several meters across in the ground.
The Wolf King turned its head to glare at Nirvana, its eyes blazing with even greater fury.
Seeing this, Chu Chen spoke in a deep voice, "Go." With that, he raised his hand to unleash several Soul Skills.
Each Soul Skill sank into Nirvana, and the overwhelming power made it unleash a roar.
With Cage's help, Nirvana had undergone Limb Regeneration three times, its aura now reaching the Second Rank Monarch Level.
Nirvana's roar seemed to provoke the Wolf King, which raised its head to let out an angry howl before charging at Nirvana.
Nirvana dared not be reckless, immediately utilizing Earth Rock Armor.
Chu Chen quickly retreated, tapping his toes to evade involvement in the battle between the two beasts.
At this time, Shadow Kill appeared beside Chu Chen, its gaze alertly fixed on the Wolf King.
Chu Chen propelled himself up onto Shadow Kill's back with force, then waved his hand to bring Cage and Feng Shuang into the Soul Sea.
With the Wolf King's strength, keeping them around would not only be unhelpful but would also hinder Nirvana's battle.
The Wolf King charged at Nirvana, its attack straightforward, raising its wolf claw to strike.
Nirvana chose not to dodge but to take the hit, wanting to test the opponent's attack power.
"Bang"
A muffled noise sounded, and Nirvana was sent flying backward, its Earth Rock Armor shattering instantly, and even a crack appeared on the gray-white insect armor.
After evolving into a Soul-devouring Nether Ant, Nirvana's insect armor had doubled in defense, yet the Wolf King's casual attack shattered it, indicating the tremendous strength behind its attack.
After landing a hit, the Wolf King did not pause, charging at Nirvana again with golden-glowing claws.
Nirvana dared not take it lightly, instantly activating Beast Taming Armor.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The Wolf King's attacks were swift, so fast that Nirvana couldn't even catch its movements. All it could do was protect its vital parts to avoid getting instantly killed.
Numerous wounds, both deep and shallow, appeared on the gray-white insect armor, some caused by claws, others by fangs.
Nirvana endured the pain, curling up its body into a ball, using the Wolf King's attack force to roll to safety.
During this maneuver, Nirvana had already begun using Limb Regeneration.
This time the Wolf King did not immediately pursue, standing with its mouth agape, breathing heavily. Though its burst of attacks appeared formidable, this effort was a significant drain on its stamina.
Just as the Wolf King intended to rest before dealing with the ant, it was shocked to find that Nirvana's wounds were completely healed, with its aura even stronger.
Nirvana, seeing the stunned Wolf King, wasted no time, launching a counterattack.
The insect legs propelled it swiftly towards the Wolf King, its mandibles poised to strike.
As Nirvana approached, the Wolf King realized the danger and attempted to recoil.
However, its retreat was too hasty, a fraction too slow.
While turning, its tail ended up within the mandibles' grasp. Naturally, Nirvana would not refuse such a gift; its mandibles snapped shut, severing the Wolf King's tail.
