Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1137 1119. Layers of Confrontation
This is the risk of cheating and mistaking timing for fighting.

If you really deceive your opponent, everything will be easy, because at that time you will definitely have the initiative firmly in your hands.

However, if the opponent is not fooled at all, but instead sees through the intention and launches an accurate counterattack, then the initiative will naturally flow to the opponent in the process.

In combat, the struggle for and control of the initiative is an art.

And now, the advantage is undoubtedly in Lan En's hands!

The long sword that was originally in his hand had returned to the scabbard at some point.

The demon hunter also leaned forward and crouched, holding the scabbard with one hand and the handle with the other, like a switchblade ready to be opened at any time.

A sharp thin line suddenly appeared in front of Lan En, making a 'sizzling' sound as it broke through the air, and left a thin trail of air in the air.

【Ashina Cross Slash】!
This move was once used to cut off Shura's arm. Now in Lan En's hands, its speed and power have skyrocketed!

He chopped straight towards the joint of the wolf's forelimbs!
Although Zhaoglune had previously shown that he was not afraid of coming into contact with the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, Lan En was confident that he could chop off half of the wolf's leg in one blow, just relying on his swordsmanship and the sharpness of the Sword of the Lady of the Lake!
The first strike of the cross would break the flesh and stop at the bones inside. But the second strike that followed would cut through the bones as well!
The sharp sword wind cut everything in front of the blade.

These high-speed extended air blades also have some special features due to the power of the divine weapon, the Sword of the Lady of the Lake.

But just as this powerful blow was about to hit the knee of Zhaogluin's forelimb accurately,
"Dang!!!"

A circle of brilliant sparks burst out between the long sword and the sharp teeth!

The blue wolf twisted its neck to a weird angle, almost like it was licking its fur.

It lowered its head, stretched its ferocious mouth behind its front legs, and then bit Aarondat, who was being chopped by Lan, with its sharp teeth.

Just like before, the holy sword that emitted a faint glow seemed to be of no use to this evil creature.

It neither suffered the pain of being scorched nor made its claws weak.

It looked as if Lan had made a completely fruitless attempt.

But the demon hunter's eyes narrowed slightly in thought.

Not only the witcher, but also Zhaogluein's wolf face with a human-like demeanor showed a solemn expression for the first time.

"Oh!"

A loud explosion of compressed air!

The moment the long knife was blocked by the sharp teeth, Lan En suddenly raised one of his legs, then drew a full arc and kicked hard at the tip of Zhao Geluin's outstretched nose!
【Xianfengjiao】!
"Ouch!"

The wet nose tip is where the nerves are concentrated. After the kick, Zhao Geluin screamed almost instantly, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his wolf eyes.

The kicked nose also started to ooze mucus and bleed due to the irritation.

This was not the end yet. As soon as he raised his leg, Lan En had already taken out an alchemical bomb from the alchemical leather bag at his waist and stuffed it into the opponent's nostrils.

[Higher Demon Dust]!
Made mainly of magical medieval demon feces, the stench of the gas is strong enough to cause poisoning damage to monsters.

Although the alchemical bomb exploded in the relatively fragile nasal cavity, it was of no concern to Zhaoglune's physical strength. It was far inferior to Lan En's [Xianfeng Kick] which he kicked out with superb skills by combining all his muscles.

But this smell was more unpleasant than anything else for Zhaoglue, who had a keen sense of smell!

At this point, the demon wolf was no different from a wolfdog that had been punched in the nose.

Its body suddenly tensed and twisted in pain and the stench that went straight to the top of its head, and it thrashed violently on the ground.

However, the mad struggling of an ordinary wolfdog would at most stir up a layer of dust on the ground.

But Zhaogelu had a strong and huge body. Its sharp claws could easily carve hideous grooves on the wilderness, and its arched spine could break the rugged rocks around it.

During this process, the blue wolf's sharp teeth finally couldn't keep its bite closed, and its facial muscles became uncontrollable.

Lan En drew his sword just in time and fled away from the mad Zhao Geluin like a puff of smoke.

“Ah! Ugh!!”

The demon wolf kept inhaling air through its mouth and exhaling air through its nose, while its two paws kept covering the bridge of its nose.

This did have some effect. A lot of yellow-green foul-smelling gas came out of Zhaoglune's big nostrils like smoking.

However, more of the [Higher Demon Dust] had already been absorbed by it.

Besides, the alchemical bomb was not meant to poison it, but just to take advantage of the stench.

As long as it is sent into the nasal cavity, its purpose has been achieved; it doesn’t matter whether it enters the lungs or not.

Although the foot of Raven Ridge is still a bit away from the main battlefield on the Wasteland of Smaug, it is not very far.

In addition, the noise made by Zhaoglue when he went crazy was so violent and loud, so many people on the battlefield had already noticed the demon wolf and the demon hunter, the pair of opponents who had rushed all the way from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

"That's a demon wolf?!"

Thranduil, riding on a stag, with his originally smooth white hair now stained with the black blood of the orcs, spoke with his eyes wide open.

Next to him, the dwarf riding a pig, who looked like an iron block, shouted loudly.

"The demons from the stories are back to fight us! Dwarves! Attack Hell! Attack!"

At the foot of Crow Ridge, Lan En just stood firm in the chaos, and Zhao Geluyin opposite him finally managed to regain control of his body.

It was still panting and standing firm, with one front paw resting on its nose, and its eyes were carefully and viciously staring at the tall human opposite. Both of their vertical pupils were staring at each other, but the expressions in them were different from before.

The bright silver blade in Lan En's hand subconsciously created a gorgeous knife flower, and the blade made a buzzing sound as it rotated in the air.

"You can't ignore the holy light on my sword, right, Zhaogluin?"

Lan En observed the pale blue demon wolf opposite him. Sure enough, after he calmly said this, the demon wolf's body showed a slight reaction.

Its expression became solemn, and the corners of its mouth, which revealed its ferocious sharp teeth, twitched slightly.

All this shows that Lan En was right.

"At least not your entire body can resist the light of the knife." Lan En added, "If that's true, you should only have claws and teeth that can resist."

Zhao Geluyin did not respond or make any expression.

But this is a kind of 'expression'.

When he almost succeeded in the surprise attack on Lan En just now, this guy's tone was very proud.

The demon hunter chuckled, and this expression made the wolf opposite him bared his teeth fiercely, but still said nothing.

Lan En placed the glowing blade in front of him, and his other hand gently brushed the back of the blade, playing with the blade head with his flexible fingertips.

The knife remains delicate, refined and elegant.

In fact, Lan En had thought that the [Ashina Cross Slash] that was aimed at the wolf's leg would be blocked.

But he was not completely sure of this until he saw Zhaoglune twisting his body, using an awkward posture that should never appear in a battle, and lowering his head to bite with his teeth.

The rest of its body definitely could not withstand the light of Eärendil.

Otherwise, even if he adopted the most costly response strategy, Zhaoglune could lift his legs at the last moment so that the two swords of [Ashina Cross Slash] would not hit the same place.

That would cause two deep wounds, but not amputation.

It's not like now, when Lan En kicked his nose hard with the [Xianfeng Kick] and then stuffed a super stink bomb into it.

Its nose is still running uncontrollably, its brain is probably a little fuzzy, and its sense of smell is completely destroyed.

Such a huge price was paid just to prevent the Sword of the Lady of the Lake from touching other parts of its body.

Because those parts are too fragile for the Sword of the Lake Lady and too susceptible to "special attacks".

Zhao Geluyin forced himself to suppress his instinct and let go of the paw on his nose.

It looked at Lan En viciously, and looked at the faintly glowing Sword of the Lady of the Lake in his hand with fear and disgust.

"Yeah, that light that makes me sick."

Zhao Gelu's voice sounds muffled because of his nasal problem.

"But so what, Dragon Slayer?"

"I don't dare to touch your knife, do you dare to let my claws and teeth touch you?"

The wolf's claws moved gently on the ground, revealing the marks left by Zhaoglune's mad twisting just now.

The claw marks left on the ground and the stone walls were extremely smooth.

Lan En turned the Alondite in his hand indifferently without saying anything.

Because what the other party said is indeed good.

They both are now a bit like 'glass cannons' in front of each other.

If the opponent touches me with the right part of my body, I will either die or be disabled.

"You might think: Oh, I'm much smaller than you, I'm more flexible than you."

Zhao Geluyin deliberately pinched his throat and made a sound that seemed funny but was actually sarcastic.

But then, the wolf's expression became fierce and dangerous again.

"But have you ever thought about it, Dragon Slayer Lan?"

Its voice, which had been carefully controlled, now regained its deep and terrifying tone.

"Why did I knock you off the mountain?"

The ground began to shake, first slightly, and then the small pieces of gravel around Lan's feet began to dance.

A huge shadow and movement came from the direction of the front battlefield.

Lan En knew very well that the only things that could cause this noise were those four giant earth-eating insects!
After feeling that the giant earth-eating worm was turning towards this side, the demon hunter looked at Zhaoglune with eyes that suddenly understood.

The demon wolf laughed viciously.
