Chapter 144: Nine Spring Wolf
The creature itself was dark and hidden in the darkness of the night, however its build and the aura it emitted gave its identity away.
The Nine Spring Wolf.
It growled and launched itself towards the dome. Each of its steps making the earth tremble but the mighty trees held on.
Shen Yu looked at the Nine Spring Wolf approaching at an insane speed, almost impossible for normal eyes to follow, and smiled.
'A Tier 6 Spritual Creature who could fucking raise dead. Hehe, nice.'
He felt a few more presence around him but they swiftly backed when they saw the Nine Spring Wolf targeting him.
Shen Yu clicked his tongue as the dome disappeared from there and he slowly began to descend on the ground. However, he didn't even get a chance to put his legs properly on the ground before a group of three hungry wolves lunged at him.
Razor sharp fangs shone in the moonlight as they came right at Shen Yu's neck.
He quickly ducked down, and rolled forward, dodging the Wolves bite. He looked back and found three dark as night wolves, standing two metres tall, glaring at him.
'Huh! They're alive. So the Wolf still has a pack left!'
Shen Yu thought, as she twisted his waist and put his strength on his hands. His muscles bulged as the wolves once again lunged at him, with their claws ready to shred him into pieces.
'They are Tier 4, huh.'
Shen Yu thought as he met the wolves head on, punching a thunderous fist right into their heads, cracking their skull from inside out.
In just a matter of seconds, three Tier 4 wolves were dead.
Shen Yu looked down at them and furrowed his brows.
'They should have some ability or something but I guess they died before even using it. Why do you even hold back!'
Shaking his head, he raised his hand and threw a small fireball at the corpses. He knew the Nine Spring Wolf had necromancy as its main ability and it could resurrect them as undead with its ability. So, it was better to just burn the bodies.
Suddenly, he felt a deathly glare at him as a gust of wind hit his body. He raised an eyebrow and turned his head, only to see a giant ball of darkness coming towards him. It seemed nothing good so he pushed on the ground, and backed away.
The ball passed by his previous position and hit a thick tree, making a loud explosion. A huge gap appeared on the tree's trunk it dwindled in the winds, losing it's stability.
Shen Yu looked at the wolf who was almost upon him and flashed a wide grin. He clenched his fist as flames erupted from his body, surroundings it and making it even stronger.
"Hehe, time to have some fun."
He pushed his feet on the ground and shot at the wolf, making cracks all over the ground. His hot flames scorching the ground and engulfing everything on fire.
However, he didn't care about that. He was finally able to feel the same excitement he felt back when he fought in the dark streets, putting his life on the line just to live one more day.
That was his life.
With a sonic boom, Shen Yu appeared before the Nine Spring Wolf, looking very small compared to the towering creature it but the moment he punched, even the winds cried in excitement.
The Wolf, of course, didn't stay idle as it thumped it's paw on the ground, making a shadowy figure rose from the ground. It was three metre tall ape who met Shen Yu's punch head-on with its mighty physique but....
"Haha!"
Shen Yu laughed as the dead ape's body blasted away into pieces in just one punch. He punched one more time at the ape, with his fists covered in dense flames which engulfed the ape in deep hot flames that were visible even from a distance in the dark night.
The Nine Spring Wolf howled in rage, seeing one of its subsidiaries getting incinerated. It opened its mouth wide and lowered its head at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu grinned, looking at the familiar ball of darkness forming in the Wolf's mouth. It was a mass of energy which mostly contained corrosion property. It could corrode anything and everything.
The Nine Spring Wolf was a terrifying Spiritual Creatures as it held the powerful ability over death. It could have a endless army of undeads and this was what made it truly horrifying.
It could summon thousands upon thousands undead whenever it wanted. But it seemed luck was on Shen Yu's side as the Nine Spring Wolf was still young and unfamiliar with its ability. Or rather, it didn't get a proper time to collect more undeads.
That could be the only reason the wolf attacked itself and didn't send it's undead army. If it did, then it would be a problem as it could make undead of anyone below it's ranks, meaning it could have a army of Tier 5 and below Spritual Creatures, not to mention humans.
It had one more attack, the ball of corrosion which was self explanatory. Other than this, it had it's mighty powerful body of Tier 6 which was enough to crush many.
Seeing the ball so close, Shen Yu grinned and put both of his hands forward, as crimson red flames began to gather and condense.
In less than a second, a giant fireball and a ball of darkness of equal size were closing in and considering the distance between them, it took less than a second before the two balls collided, making a huge explosion which engulfed both Shen Yu and the Nine Spring Wolf.
The whole valley trembled, alerting even the Tier 7 Spiritual Creature as the dark night lit up for a few seconds from the mushroom shaped explosion that towered even the tall trees of the valley.
Waves of outburst shout out from the explosion, destroying a large area and spreading two energies in the air which made some of fauna corrode while others caught flames.
Even some of the weaker Spiritual Creatures who were close by were affected and we're turned into ash.
After a few seconds, a powerful powerful gust of wind made a tall tornado, which dispersed the smoke and flames spreading in the forest.
A hand rose from the rubbles and caught on a half burnt wood and using it, a figure rose. His black trench coat still the same as before but smeared by dirt and ash. The wooden Demonic mask still remained completely intact.
However, when Shen Yu raised his arm, he could feel the discomfort. The only reason he wasn't burnt was because of attire otherwise given his current Cultivation base, he would have been burnt, if not seriously injured.
'Ah! I shouldn't be so careless. I got caught up in the moment.'
He cracked his stiff neck and walked forward, looking into the distance. The explosion had threw him and his opponent in two opposite direction, after all. Even the huge figure of the wolf couldn't escape the explosion.
"Ah! So this was your plan. Nice job!"
A wry smile appeared on Shen Yu's face when he looked before him. There stood a small group of undead Spiritual Creatures, numbering a total of twenty. They were of l types, from small to huge and he could recognise all of them.
Behind the undead, a giant dark wolf stood, having a gleeful look in its exhausted eyes. Its body was injured and its fur burnt on many places. One of its front limb was even broken.
It could not continue the fight, not properly at least. However, it didn't need to.
'First exhaust and injure me by letting me underestimate it, heh, what a cunning fellow. Or maybe I'm just dumb. Whatever, the undead are still few in numbers so my theory isn't wrong. It just knows when to use them properly.'
With flames covered in his surroundings and having rubbles as he ground, Shen Yu walked forward towards the undead creatures with a smile on his face. His blood boiled in excitement and his eyes shone with happiness.
He took a step forward and disappeared from there, leaving a blazing trail behind as his whole body once again erupted with crimson red flames.
The Undead Spiritual Creatures didn't stay idle and with blank look in their eyes attacked Shen Yu.
