Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters
#16 - Hunter and prey
Inside the dim, damp cave, two green lights flickered incessantly.
The chilling sound of chewing and the dripping of fresh blood were particularly clear in the silent night.
Suddenly, the chewing stopped, and the green lights abruptly turned towards the cave entrance.
Soon after, the dim cave was illuminated by firelight, and the sound of footsteps echoed.
The light from the torch revealed the full view of the cave.
A wolf demon, with a wolf's head and a human body covered in thick fur, glared menacingly at them.
"Humans... martial artists..." the wolf demon uttered in a low voice, slowly straightening its body.
Its body was tall and sturdy, the thick fur unable to conceal its well-defined muscles, and its pair of curved wolf legs were thick and powerful.
It didn't look injured at all.
Sun Zhi's face was grim, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The pressure emanating from the wolf demon before him was something he had never felt before.
"I thought those guys had come looking for me. I didn't expect..." The wolf demon stuck out its long tongue and licked the blood from the corner of its mouth. The unpleasantness of having its meal interrupted dissipated, and it said with some excitement, "Food has been delivered to my door."
"Monster! Sun Zhi of Qiulin County is here! If you obediently surrender, we can give you a quick death, otherwise..."
Sun Zhi forcefully mustered his spirit. Thinking of Shen Lin, whose saber techniques were superb, beside him, the fear in his heart lessened a lot, and he held his saber and sternly rebuked.
"Sun Zhi? Never heard of you! What if I don't listen to you?" The wolf demon's eyes were playful as it softly said, "Will you cause a ruckus in my stomach?"
As the words fell, its thick wolf legs suddenly swelled slightly, and a massive black shadow shot out.
"Be..."
The wolf demon was extremely fast, covering the distance of a dozen steps in the blink of an eye, appearing in front of Sun Zhi.
Before he could shout 'careful,' he saw a dark wolf claw reaching towards his heart and could only quickly draw his saber to defend himself.
The horizontal slash landed on the wolf's claw but was instantly deflected. The wolf's claw continued unabated, heading straight for Sun Zhi's heart.
Fortunately, Sun Zhi had experienced many life-and-death struggles and reacted instantly, dodging to the side.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a black shadow suddenly whistled over and landed squarely on his chest.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Sun Zhi's body flew out, crashing heavily into the stone wall.
"Ugh!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale, and he shouted in disbelief, "You aren't injured... This is... the Meridian Opening Realm?!"
The speed at which the wolf demon had instantly burst out made him feel that something was wrong.
And the tail sweep that had severely injured him further confirmed his guess.
If the wolf demon was only at the Martial Warrior Realm, he definitely wouldn't be like this.
With his physical strength, he would have no problem withstanding an attack from an ordinary Martial Warrior.
"The information someone gave you doesn't match up, does it?"
The wolf demon's eyes flashed with cunning as it gloated, "Did you really think I didn't know about the deals that old fox was secretly making? Why do you think I went to his territory to buy medicine when I had so many other choices?"
He'd been tricked!
Sun Zhi's heart sank, realizing that this time, the positions of hunter and prey had been reversed.
This guy was using himself as bait to lure martial artists like himself.
He was agile, and there was no sign of any injuries on his body.
He just didn't know if that old fox from the Bai family had seen through it...
But even if he had, it wouldn't matter to him, would it?
Just as Sun Zhi was mocking himself, preparing to accept his fate, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Hey, big black dog! There's more than just you in this cave, right?"
The wolf demon had exchanged a blow with Sun Zhi, but Shen Lin hadn't reacted at all. Instead, he squatted down to observe the ground before suddenly speaking.
"What?"
The wolf demon was stunned for a moment, seemingly not reacting to Shen Lin's insulting nickname.
Then, it flew into a rage, directly abandoning Sun Zhi and charging towards Shen Lin.
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhi opened his mouth, but he couldn't shout anything out.
He couldn't bring himself to use himself as bait to let Shen Lin escape.
Instead, seeing Shen Lin courting death himself, he was secretly relieved, giving himself a chance to catch his breath.
As for the possibility of Shen Lin winning, he had never considered it.
After all, that was a monster at the Meridian Opening Realm, with an abundance of demonic energy in its body that ordinary martial artists simply couldn't...
Before his thoughts could finish, the scene that unfolded next made him subconsciously widen his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
"Roar!" The wolf demon roared furiously, slamming down with its claw, seemingly wanting to smash Shen Lin's head to pieces.
But the next moment, Shen Lin didn't draw his saber. He simply reached out his hand and directly grabbed the wolf demon's claw.
His slender, fair arm firmly grasped the wolf claw, which was twice as thick as his arm, like an iron clamp, completely immobilizing the wolf demon.
"I said..." Shen Lin said with some impatience, "You should have accomplices, right?"
The wolf demon didn't reply because it was currently staring blankly at its claw, its face dazed.
Seeing this, Shen Lin stopped talking nonsense and raised his foot to kick it.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the wolf demon's body was sent flying by the strong impact, but because Shen Lin was holding onto its claw, it couldn't fly away.
But after being kicked, its body suddenly went limp.
"Uh... uh..." The wolf demon's ferocious wolf mouth opened, drool dripping continuously, and its pupils shrank to a point, as if even its consciousness had fallen into a daze.
Seeing this, Shen Lin muttered with some dissatisfaction, "What a nuisance!"
Then, grabbing the other party's wolf claw, he waved his hand and threw it out.
Boom!
Stones flew everywhere as the massive wolf body crashed heavily into the stone wall, and the intense pain awakened its consciousness, causing it to wail incessantly.
Shen Lin slowly walked over, stepped on its wolf claw, and softly said, "I'm asking you a question!"
Crack!
With a crisp sound, Shen Lin directly flattened its wolf claw, and pale bone shards pierced through the dense fur.
"Roar!!!!" The wolf demon roared madly, struggling incessantly.
But even if it used all its skills, it couldn't break free.
Shen Lin's seemingly weak body was currently firmly suppressing it.
Crack!
Shen Lin's sheathed long saber gently fell, directly shattering its kneecap, and piercing pain struck again.
"I'm... asking... you... a question!!!!"
Shen Lin's words were slow, and with each word, he would break a bone somewhere on its body.
"Ah, ah, ah, that's... that's my brother, he's already... already been killed by those people!"
The wolf demon understood that if it didn't answer, this pain would continue.
Therefore, even though it was in unbearable pain, it still forced itself to concentrate and answered Shen Lin's question.
"Those people, who are they?"
"The demons of Blackwind Hold, led by Xiong Ze, the fifth leader of Blackwind Hold!!!!"
"Do you know their location?"
"They... they are usually in Blackwind Hold... Blackwind Hold is in..."
Under the torment of pain, the wolf demon answered almost every question.
After questioning for a while, Shen Lin learned all the clues he needed.
"Kill me! Kill me!"
The wolf demon realized that Shen Lin had stopped asking questions and wailed incessantly.
Shen Lin directly turned and walked away without any response.
With such serious injuries, it would soon die from blood loss, and he didn't need to dirty his long saber again.
