Chapter 98: 0096 Five Wolves Formation
Women are the most terrifying creatures in the world, especially a woman pushed to the brink of rage—she is capable of anything.
And the Blood Wolf before me was just such a woman.
She glared at Ye Qiu, her eyes filled with hatred, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
"I had wanted to have a little fun with you, but since you’ve dared to humiliate me, I’m going to make you watch that woman’s tragic fate," the Blood Wolf said menacingly.
Ye Qiu watched the woman before him, seemingly insane with fury, as the rest of the Blood Wolf mercenary group members gradually surrounded him following the Blood Wolf’s words.
It seemed they intended to join forces against him.
Ye Qiu had fought with these fellows before, and although he had quickly ended the fight, it didn’t mean they were weak. On the contrary, several members of the Blood Wolf mercenary group were very strong. It’s just that Ye Qiu had wanted to finish the battle quickly and had shown quite a bit of his strength, otherwise he wouldn’t have defeated them so easily.
However, now he would face their combined attack, and a wave of pressure instantly washed over him.
The concept of one’s own strength versus the combined strength of five men was entirely different, especially for a master. Even a slight gap could lead to vastly different outcomes.
"You should feel honored. We, the Blood Wolf mercenary group, rarely join forces to deal with one person. You’re not the first, but you are one of the few," the Blood Wolf said as she watched Ye Qiu’s eyes flash with vigilance. A sense of triumph filled her heart. Perhaps none of them could match Ye Qiu in single combat, but once the five coordinated as one, even two Ye Qius might not be enough.
Confidence flooded the Blood Wolf’s heart as she saw her comrades encircle Ye Qiu in the center, a cold smile forming on her face.
"Strike now!"
A chilling atmosphere instantly enveloped Ye Qiu’s whole body. The members of the Blood Wolf mercenary group also shifted their earlier demeanor, each one radiating a terrifying presence, their eyes gleaming like those of real wolves.
Ye Qiu stood within their encirclement, alone against them all, with a surge of killing intent. To the average person, this would have been terrifying enough to induce incontinence. But to Ye Qiu, who was accustomed to numerous scenarios, this familiar feeling was strangely exhilarating, even invigorating.
In front of the five-man attack, Ye Qiu suddenly laughed, and every member of the Blood Wolf mercenary group saw it clearly. Even if they could only see his back, they still heard his laughter.
"I’ve been wanting to witness the strength of the Blood Wolf mercenary group for a long time; I hope you don’t disappoint me," Ye Qiu sighed, moving simultaneously with the members of the Snow Wolf mercenary group.
As five men closed in, Ye Qiu was attacked from front and back—five fatal strikes came at him in an instant.
Each member of the Blood Wolf mercenary group was a seasoned veteran, their killing techniques honed to perfection. Facing an expert like Ye Qiu, they each brought their A-game, eager to see who could take down Ye Qiu first.
"Every move is deadly!" Ye Qiu spotted the Bald Wolf trying to sneak attack his back and immediately thwarted him. In front of him and to his sides were the shadowy attacks of the Twin Wolves and the lethal moves of the Grey Wolf and Blood Wolf.
All five deadly moves converged. Ye Qiu’s body suddenly twisted automatically, dodging the first strike from the Bald Wolf. Then, his figure shifted again, evading the encirclement with an eerie agility.
"Bone Shrinking Skill!" the Blood Wolf recognized the technique, her eyes widening in shock as she watched Ye Qiu effortlessly dodge all attacks, the power of his Bone Shrinking Skill sending tremors through her.
This was not the simplest form of the Bone Shrinking Skill but rather, it was practiced to a level where the body could change its form at will. It had a similar effect to the Blood Wolf’s Face-Changing Technique, and was even more advanced, given that such changes in form were accomplished simply by will, without any tools.
The Blood Wolf realized how formidable Ye Qiu was, no wonder everyone who had faced him had fallen to his hand.
"Five Wolves Killing Array!"
The Blood Wolf decided they couldn’t waste any more time; any carelessness might result in Ye Qiu killing one of their members, which would be a loss beyond any gain.
At the mention of the Five Wolves Killing Array, the others quickly gathered around the Blood Wolf.
The five men adopted a battle formation, and Ye Qiu suddenly realized that the five wolves, who had previously seemed to be fighting as scattered soldiers, instantaneously coalesced into a single unit. The momentum was no longer dispersed but fused together as if it emanated from one person.
Interesting!
Ye Qiu was very curious about the level of strength that could be achieved when the five men combined their efforts.
Since Ye Qiu had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, he hadn’t made any breakthroughs. If he encountered a formidable opponent, under the intense pressure, perhaps his strength would improve.
The feeling he got from the opponents in front of him was precisely such an opportunity for a breakthrough.
The Five Wolves moved simultaneously, their steps in unison, rushing toward Ye Qiu like a surging torrent.
The footsteps of every member of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group were peculiar. They were indeed attacking Ye Qiu, but their bodies were not moving fast, and because of their stepping technique, Ye Qiu could clearly see everyone’s movements.
Ye Qiu furrowed his brow, sensing something strange.
Suddenly, a bolt of realization struck through his mind—this was the Seven Kills Formation!
The Blood Wolf Mercenary Group had actually adapted the Seven Kills Formation into the Five Wolves Killing Array; this was interesting. A formation that one could only see scattered and partial records of in ancient texts was presenting itself here in another form.
Ye Qiu didn’t know how the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group had transformed the Seven Kills Formation into the Five Wolves Killing Array, but he felt the pressure mounting, their momentum growing stronger. Each member of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group seemed non-threatening at the moment, yet any casual movement from them was a shocking murderous intent.
This murderous intent was still brewing.
Ye Qiu could see that his opponents were serious and truly intended to eliminate him.
Ye Qiu made no superfluous movements, feeling the pressure mounting from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, growing rapidly in strength. He thought to himself, "Come on, push harder, I hope my True Qi can make a breakthrough with the help of your pressure!"
Suddenly, Ye Qiu closed his eyes, but through his mind’s eye, he seemed to still feel the movements of the five men, as well as each of their expressions.
Ye Qiu’s ears twitched slightly, capturing any rustle of wind or grass.
At that moment, the True Qi within Ye Qiu surged massively. It was only recently, after a severe injury, that the True Qi in his body had fully recovered, and his wounds had healed.
However, every time Ye Qiu practiced his cultivation, he couldn’t make any further breakthroughs. This barrier had imprisoned him for too long; since he descended the mountain, there hadn’t been any progress in his realm.
According to his eccentric master, it was already remarkable for him to have made such rapid progress. To expect another breakthrough within two or three years would require a stroke of luck.
Ye Qiu hadn’t encountered such luck, but at this moment, the pressure from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group presented him with a chance for a breakthrough.
Perhaps only in the face of a significant crisis could he make any progress.
Therefore, Ye Qiu’s innermost hope was that his opponents would be stronger; the closer he’d come to feeling death, the more profound that sensation would be.
"It’s still not strong enough!" Feeling the external momentum and pressure, Ye Qiu frowned slightly.
At the same time, the Five Wolves glanced at one another, wondering if Ye Qiu, having suddenly closed his eyes in the face of collective lethal moves, was resigning himself to his fate.
In response to the inquiring glances of his companions, Blood Wolf looked at Ye Qiu, who seemed to be playing tricks, and snorted coldly, "Kill!"
