My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 376 - 56: Slaying the Wind Wolves [First Update]
Although the prairie sheep possess a high-level Heavenly Immortal realm cultivation, their combat prowess doesn’t match up to spirit beasts at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. Their attack method involves headbutting their enemies with immense force, so if one is unprepared, a low-level Heavenly Immortal practitioner might suffer serious injuries. Besides that, they are averagely fast runners and have relatively strong defenses, making them hard to wound.
In their frantic attempt to escape, the Wind Blades already reached them. The dozen or so sheep closest to the Wind Wolf Group were attacked, yet the Wind Blades merely slowed them down, shaving off some of their wool and leaving a shallow mark on their skin without breaking it.
The main targets of the Wind Wolf Group were the prairie sheep, but a few Wind Wolves spotted Nan Hua and charged toward him.
Nan Hua was already prepared, and as those few Wind Wolves approached, he threw four talismans from his hand. These talismans were given by his master before entering the Secret Realm, belonging to the third tier of immortal rank. Although they couldn’t kill the Wind Wolves, they could inflict some damage.
As the talismans neared the Wind Wolves, they exploded. The wolves, unable to evade, were directly injured—one lost an ear, another was blinded in one eye, a third had its neck fur scorched, and the fourth’s forelimb was wounded.
The four Wind Wolves howled at Nan Hua in anger and pain, releasing Wind Blades from their mouths that flew toward him.
Nan Hua’s pre-drawn Array hovered above his head. A golden transparent beam enveloped him, and the Wind Blades, upon striking the beam, dissipated completely, unable to harm Nan Hua.
He rushed toward the Wind Wolf whose ear was blasted off with the Green Treasure Sword transformed from the Glazed Frost Flower Fan, slicing its other ear off with a horizontal sweep. He then leaped upward, his body inverted above the wolf, driving the sword’s tip down into the Wind Wolf’s head, locking onto it with Sword Intent.
The Green Treasure Sword pierced through the Wind Wolf’s head, causing blood to splatter everywhere. After withdrawing his sword, he righted his posture, and the wolf’s corpse fell heavily to the ground.
He shifted his form to the wolf that had been blinded, jabbing his sword forward as the wolf clawed at it, he swiftly slapped the Array imprinted in his palm into the wolf’s body and retreated swiftly, putting seven to eight meters between them.
A golden light erupted from inside the Wind Wolf, followed by an explosion accompanied by blinding light, resulting in the wolf’s death from the inside out.
A Wind Blade came from behind, but the golden beam around him blocked it, causing it to dissipate. He turned quickly to face the wolf that had launched the attack. The wolf, upon seeing Nan Hua approach, shot a glance of intense hatred from its eyes, let out a furious roar, and lunged at him, seemingly aiming to tear his throat apart.
But alas, it was blocked by the beam, forcibly rebounding and landing hard on the ground, seemingly stunned by the collision. Nan Hua naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity, rushing to Feng Lan’s side, he thrust the Green Treasure Sword through its chest. Upon withdrawing it, a gush of blood nearly sprayed onto him but was stopped by the barrier.
He turned his gaze to the last Wind Wolf. After witnessing its companions’ deaths, the wolf, which had its forelimb blasted, feared Nan Hua greatly and turned to flee toward the Wind Wolf Group.
Nan Hua pursued closely, arriving near the Wind Wolf Group.
The group of prairie sheep had already fled, leaving behind only one or two whose necks were bitten through by the Wind Wolves. A few wolves were feasting, while the others noticed Nan Hua, their eyes gleaming with greed.
The Wolf King also fixed its gaze on Nan Hua, narrowing its green eyes, licking its lips, looking at Nan Hua with eyes full of greed and lust.
"Awoo~"
The Wolf King howled, and the other Wind Wolves immediately focused on Nan Hua, opening their mouths to launch Wind Blades from various directions toward him.
The beam around Nan Hua took effect as the Wind Blades collided with it and dissipated, though the beam’s color faded slightly and thinned.
As the Wind Blades proved ineffective, the Wind Wolves encircled Nan Hua under the Wolf King’s command. Then, at a signal, they all pounced on Nan Hua.
Nan Hua produced five or six talismans, throwing them as the wolves approached, similar to what he did to the four previous wolves. The nearby wolves were injured by explosions, letting out mournful cries.
Besides this, the other wolves struck the beam, but it was worn down further and now looked as if it wouldn’t hold for much longer.
At this crucial moment, Nan Hua didn’t have the luxury to notice this. His hands swiftly created an Array, and when it took form in front of him as a two-meter diameter large Array, dozens of Light Swords shot toward the Wind Wolves.
Some Wind Wolves dodged the Light Swords, others were wounded or pierced through. They fell to the ground, lifeless, never reaching Nan Hua.
Just in this moment, three Wind Wolves died, adding to the four that had just been killed, leaving only about twelve or thirteen Wind Wolves remaining.
The Wind Wolf King saw this scene and was very angry, letting out a roar, it charged towards Nan Hua.
Its cultivation was similar to Nan Hua’s. Nan Hua had been watching it all along, and now seeing it charge over, he hurriedly drew an Array with his right hand to block in front of him.
The pillar of light that had just blocked those Wind Blades for him shattered into pieces after the Wind Wolf King charged forward, dissipating into the air. The Array in his right hand helped block the head and claws of the Wind Wolf King, causing him to be knocked back two steps.
With a forceful push of his hand, the Wind Wolf King’s body was bounced away. At the same time, the other Wind Wolves shot another Wind Blade, prompting Nan Hua to quickly use both hands to draw an Array, protecting himself once again from the Wind Blades.
As the light columns reappeared, his hands didn’t stop moving. He drew another Array and with a tap of his toe on the ground, he appeared in front of a Wind Wolf. The Green Treasure Sword appeared in his hand, and he took the opportunity to pierce through the Wind Wolf’s body.
He withdrew the sword and turned to leave, his movements clean and without any hesitation.
His figure flashed like a phantom among the Wind Wolf Group, and each appearance took a Wind Wolf’s life. In no time, the Wind Wolves were all killed.
Although such intense attacks seemed easy for him, they actually consumed a lot of immortal power. After killing the other Wind Wolves, he quickly swallowed an elixir to restore some of his immortal power.
At this moment, only the Wind Wolf King and Nan Hua remained alive by the riverside. The Wind Wolf King, having witnessed its subordinates being killed one by one, was extremely furious. Its eyes were filled with hatred as it roared and shot a massive Wind Blade towards Nan Hua.
This Wind Blade seemed even more formidable than all the previous ones combined, as the momentum of the Wind Wolf King became diminished after launching it. Clearly, this Wind Blade had consumed a large amount of its immortal power.
Nan Hua also sensed the threat from this massive Wind Blade. He quickly put away the Green Treasure Sword and used both hands to draw an Array. Soon, an Array appeared before him.
The giant Wind Blade first struck the light pillar Nan Hua had previously created. The light pillar quickly shattered into pieces that dissipated, then the Wind Blade hit the newly drawn Array. Both the Wind Blade and the Array in Nan Hua’s hand dissipated at the same time, while Nan Hua was knocked back four or five steps, suffering internal injuries as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that he wasn’t dead, the Wind Wolf King was even angrier, roaring as it charged directly at Nan Hua. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Nan Hua didn’t retreat but advanced instead. He used his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and drew Arrays with both hands as he approached the Wind Wolf King.
Two golden Arrays appeared in his hands. As the Wind Wolf King charged, he first raised the Array in his right hand to block the wolf’s claws, then immediately raised the Array in his left hand, slamming it into the Wind Wolf King’s body.
The Wind Wolf King’s movements paused, its internal blood surging, making its expression painful. But its gaze towards Nan Hua became even more ferocious. Instead of stopping, it swiped at Nan Hua again with its claws.
Nan Hua was already struggling to draw two Arrays simultaneously and didn’t expect the Wind Wolf King to continue attacking. Instinctively, he dodged the vital areas, but his arm was still scratched by the wolf’s claws, leaving three long, bloody wounds that looked terrifying.
The Green Treasure Sword appeared in his hand once more, and despite his injured arm, Nan Hua infused the sword with immortal power and fiercely thrust it towards the Wind Wolf King’s head.
"Pchh!"
The sword pierced through the center of the Wind Wolf King’s forehead and into its head, with most of it embedded in its body. Nan Hua twisted the sword forcefully, and with an angry roar, the Wolf King raised its claws just as Nan Hua withdrew the sword. A spurt of blood shot out, and Nan Hua instinctively raised his hand to shield himself, with blood splattering onto his sleeve.
"Thud!"
The claws the Wind Wolf King had just raised fell heavily to the ground with a thud, and its body collapsed, twitching twice on the ground before becoming motionless, its breath gone.
After confirming the Wind Wolf King was dead, Nan Hua finally relaxed. His body tilted back slightly, nearly sitting on the ground, but he held himself up with the treasure sword.
He supported himself with the sword and took a few deep breaths, feeling the weakness in his body subside somewhat. Quickly, he took out an elixir and swallowed it, then sat directly on the ground, not caring about the blood around him, and began to cross-leggedly restore his internal immortal power.
