C121 One Hit Killed Them All!

The Timber Wolf spoke with a ferocity that belied his true intentions; he was actually sizing up the potency of Chen Guo's attacks.

Lacking a digital template, he couldn't directly gauge Chen Guo's level or fighting capacity. Had he been able to, he would've turned tail and fled in an instant.

His only option was to estimate Chen Guo's strength based on the force of his moves.

Chen Guo was wielding the Myriad Swords Spell, the foundational sword technique of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, and a staple offensive strategy for entry-level disciples.

Its strengths were its remarkable stability and respectable power, all while requiring minimal energy—a must-have skill for any beginner.

However, despite various enhancements, the spell had a definitive ceiling to its power, preventing endless amplification. Otherwise, the skill would be excessively overpowered.

The Myriad Swords Spell cast by Chen Guo was significantly more potent than that of an average Mount Shu disciple, rivaling even that of the sect's elders.

Still, the Myriad Swords Spell had its limitations. It was unbeatable against common monsters, but against stronger foes, its diffused attack made it ineffective at dealing lethal damage.

Therefore, there was a clear cap to the power of Chen Guo's Myriad Swords Spell.

Unaware of this, the Timber Wolf surmised that Chen Guo's abilities were decent, though still slightly inferior to his own. With two allies at his side, he was confident that capturing Chen Guo would be effortless.

As for Chen Guo's companions, a mere glance was enough for the Timber Wolf to sense their feeble presence.

"Are you the Timber Wolf?" Chen Guo inquired with curiosity.

"Yes, I am the Timber Wolf. And you are?" the Timber Wolf responded, his eyes glinting with menace.

"Your name sounded rather adorable; I didn't expect such ferocity. Truly, reality surpasses reputation," Chen Guo remarked. "I've come to borrow something from you."

"And what might that be?" the Timber Wolf probed.

"I need to borrow your head for a moment," Chen Guo stated plainly.

His candor was characteristic; he was a man who never lied, earning him the reputation of being an upright and dependable gentleman.

"How dare you repeatedly insult me. Yet, I am a forgiving soul. I'll offer you a chance!" the Timber Wolf snarled. "You've slain many of my followers. So, I propose you become my hound. Your life will be spared. Otherwise, I will rip you to shreds and scatter your ashes to the winds!"

Chen Guo beckoned with a crooked finger and taunted, "Step forward and meet your end. You three reek of villainy. Keeping you alive would only squander resources!"

"Scoundrel!"

"Fen Geer, unleash the Barbaric Charge!"

"Witch, cast the Curse of Weakness, now!"

"Behold my power, Thunder Strike!"

Enraged, the Timber Wolf commanded his two brothers with a single shout.

At his behest, Fen Geer, the colossal wolf, initiated a Barbaric Charge, barreling toward Chen Guo with the force of a juggernaut.

Following suit, the Lilac Sorceress began her incantation, her wand dancing as she prepared to afflict Chen Guo with the Curse of Weakness.

Meanwhile, the Timber Wolf channeled his might into his right arm, hoisting his Wolf Fanged Mace, ready to strike.

Truth be told, the Timber Wolf's strategy was commendable.

Fen Geer's advantage lay not in his fighting capacity but in his sheer bulk. His forward charge could disrupt the enemy's formation, capturing their full attention even without making contact.

The Lilac Sorceress's Curse of Weakness was a potent spell, capable of rendering an enemy feeble for a crucial moment.

With Fen Geer drawing the enemy's focus, and the Lilac Sorceress's curse sapping their strength, the Timber Wolf would then deliver his devastating Thunder Strike. A direct hit had a high likelihood of being lethal, leaving the enemy clinging to life by a thread.

These were his opening gambits.

In the Dusk Forest, many a human warrior and bizarre creature had sought his downfall, challenging his dominion. Through the years, he had faced and defeated countless adversaries.

Relying on these three maneuvers, he had stood unyielding, turning all who dared oppose him into mere sustenance.

And he was certain that today would be no different.

"Ants boasting of grandeur and insects trying to shake a tree—such folly!"

"Seeking your own demise!"

"By the decree of Primus, Divine Jade Thunder, swift as law!"

Chen Guo unleashed the Divine Jade Thunder without hesitation.

The Myriad Swords Spell was clearly ineffective against a formidable creature like the Timber Wolf, and regular abilities were unlikely to instantly dispatch these three beasts. Therefore, Chen Guo opted for the Divine Jade Thunder.

A mere expenditure of 500 mana points, which would regenerate in about ten minutes. And if he couldn't fully recover, he had Origin Pills at his disposal.

The phantom of Primus materialized, calling forth the divine lightning. Purple bolts, as if birthed from Chen Guo's fingertips, danced with dazzling brilliance, slicing through the gloom of the Dusk Forest.

It was abrupt, indecorous, yet devastatingly fierce, suffused with the essence of true Taoist orthodoxy, and it shrouded the Dusk Brothers in its might.

"Ah!"

"No!"

"We can't... escape!"

Before Fenrir, the Timber Wolf, could approach Chen Guo, he was obliterated by his thunderous strike, reduced to a carcass. The Timber Wolf and the Lilac Sorceress fared no better, perishing amid their screams, offering no resistance.
