Desperate Battle, Wolf Power Breaking Through the Trap to Protect Love

The bronze chains stretched taut in the hurricane, glowing silver under the strain, as Bo Yu's wolf claws scraped against the stone wall, sending sparks flying.Tang Yao's birthmark on her neck suddenly emitted a purple glow, resonating with the star map spinning in the abyss. The black cube cracked, forming spiderweb-like fractures on its surface."Hold on!"Bo Yu growled, throwing Tang Yao over his back, while his wolf tail wrapped around the broken tip of a flying buttress.Thirty meters below, the bronze key in Zhao's hand turned the cracks into a strange totem, causing the entire abyss to begin collapsing inward.Boom!Suddenly, the alloy steel claws of the bodyguard pierced through the stone dome above them.The usually silent assassin's eyes glowed red, with his mechanical arm shooting out faint blue flames, as he plunged toward them like a missile—he had even severed the pain nerve in his left arm."Watch your right ribs!"Tang Yao's warning mixed with the scent of blood, hitting Bo Yu's nose.Bo Yu twisted mid-air, narrowly dodging the claws that tore into his shoulder, causing three bloody gashes. The sharp pain brought him back to a semblance of clarity, shaking off the drug-induced numbness.Using the wind generated by the claw's strike, he pushed off toward the bodyguard's mechanical joint, but the bodyguard grinned and voluntarily detached his entire metal arm.The detached prosthetic exploded into a plasma net, and Bo Yu's pupils shrank.He grabbed Tang Yao and leaped toward the collapsing abyss, his wolf tail hooking a rotating bronze hexagram, tracing a strange zigzag trajectory in the weightless state.The plasma net grazed Tang Yao's hair, melting the stone pillars behind them into red-hot molten iron."The game should be over,"Zhao's voice echoed from the bottom of the abyss.The black cube suddenly split into nine pieces, each corresponding to a star in the Big Dipper.The scar on Bo Yu's back seemed to come to life, writhing as if cold metal was drilling into his spine, heading straight for his brain.Tang Yao bit her fingertip and pressed it against his forehead. "Don't let the star paths assimilate you!" Her blood vaporized into purple mist under the moonlight, temporarily blocking the cube's energy intrusion.Bo Yu seized the opportunity to grab two bronze hexagrams and threw them toward the reassembling core of the cube.The sound of metal colliding buzzed through the air as the entire castle tilted at a forty-five-degree angle.Liu's voice came through the speaker: "Energy overload at 113%, immediate recommendation to..." Before he could finish, the observation tower he was in was crushed by the collapsing stardust."Impressive!" Zhao stepped on a floating hexagram, rising into the air. His suit was torn by the chaotic energy currents, revealing the tattoo of the reversed Big Dipper on his chest. "But how many more times can you dodge?"He suddenly thrust the bronze key into his chest, causing the nine pieces of the cube to transform into meteor-like light arrows.Bo Yu, holding Tang Yao, dodged through the collapsing columns, the moonlight slicing through the broken ceiling, casting alternating shadows and light on his body.The savage strength brought on by his wolf transformation was fading, and he could feel Tang Yao's body growing colder—stardust was draining her life force.The bodyguard's pursuit grew more frantic, his remaining right arm now equipped with a new particle vibrating blade. Each slash left lingering afterimages in the air.Bo Yu deliberately crashed into a weight-bearing column about to break, and as the blade swung toward him, he used his wolf tail to throw stardust into the bodyguard's face."Trivial..." The bodyguard's mocking laugh was abruptly cut off.The flashing stardust, upon touching the vibrating blade, triggered a chain reaction, freezing his entire right arm in a strange temporal wrinkle.Bo Yu seized the split-second opportunity, grabbing Tang Yao and leaping onto the ascending bronze compass.The sound of gears grinding from below suddenly echoed.The array of hexagrams beneath Zhao's feet formed a giant crossbow. Nine light arrows, condensed from stardust, locked onto every escape route of the compass.Bo Yu's wolf ears caught the irregular beating of Tang Yao's heart. Her bloodstained fingers were unconsciously drawing an ancient symbol on his palm.As the first light arrow pierced the edge of the compass, Bo Yu suddenly smelled the earthy scent of rain before it poured—this was the unique scent Tang Yao gave off whenever she used her mysterious power.A blood bead from her eyelash fell onto the bronze pattern, causing the devouring cube to momentarily freeze.Tang Yao's breath brushed against the fur on Bo Yu's ear, and the blood on her fingertip traced a winding line on the compass.Bo Yu felt her heart beating slower and slower in her chest, like a dandelion about to be blown away by the wind, but still fighting with her last strength to draw the complex symbol on his palm."Don't sleep." His voice rumbled like a low growl, his claws scraping against the compass gap, sending sparks flying, lighting up Tang Yao's pale face.Her eyelashes trembled, and the purple glow in her pupils solidified into a physical form, turning into small chains that wrapped around Bo Yu's fading wolf tail.The sharp pain made Bo Yu's vision explode with crimson stars, and the metal sensation in his spine was abruptly severed.He suddenly realized his fangs had pierced his lower lip, and the bloody, sweet taste mixed with the moonlight boiled in his mouth—Tang Yao was using her last strength to stop the star paths from consuming him."Three seconds." She suddenly tilted her head, pressing her bloodstained lips to his ear. "Zhen is in the east, Lei Chi is in the west."Bo Yu's body tensed in an instant as the ancient incantation wrapped in her exhaled breath turned into tangible ripples that exploded on his retina, forming the star map.The shrill whistling of the nine light arrows reached its peak at that moment.Bo Yu held Tang Yao, flipping off the edge of the compass, his wolf tail wrapping around a broken bronze chain, and using the falling momentum to slash a lightning-shaped trail across the castle wall.As the second light arrow grazed the back of his neck, he suddenly smelled the fleeting fragrance of a night-blooming cereus in Tang Yao's hair—this was a sign she was about to use a forbidden technique."You dare!" Bo Yu's roar shattered the tiles above him.But Tang Yao had already bitten her tongue, spraying the blood mist mixed with stardust toward the closing Lei Chi position.The purple mist collided with the bronze hexagram, and the entire abyss shook with a booming sound.The giant crossbow array beneath Zhao's feet shifted by a fraction of a second.Bo Yu's pupils widened with golden light as the suppressed wolf bloodline broke free at the brink of life and death. His dark silver fur suddenly turned moonlit white.He felt his fangs growing wildly, and the blood flower from his joints hadn't even hit the ground before being vaporized into red mist by the violent energy."Stop him!" Zhao's face changed, the reversed Big Dipper tattoo on his chest seeping black blood.The bodyguard, dragging his frozen right arm through the rubble, leapt up, the particle vibrating blade's afterimage weaving a deadly net in the air.But at that moment, Bo Yu seemed to transform into an ancient beast, his wolf claws tearing through the light arrows, leaving burning claw marks in the void.Tang Yao's spell completed its final stroke.She suddenly pierced her bloodstained finger into Bo Yu's chest, and as her icy fingertip touched his hot heart, the suspended stardust, like fireflies answering a call, formed a rotating starry shield around them.Bo Yu heard the sad cracking of his bones, but the power surging from his bloodline swallowed all pain.The core of the giant crossbow array was close.Bo Yu swung his wolf claws, emitting a shrill scream that pierced the air. When his claws collided with the stardust shield, time in the entire castle seemed to pause.He saw Zhao's twisted face in shock, saw the vibrating blade in the bodyguard's hand unravel in the time-warp, and saw Tang Yao's blood beads rising against gravity on her eyelashes.Crack—A tiny cracking sound came from the inside of the shield.As Bo Yu's claws pierced through the stardust shield, the nine pieces of the cube emitted a baby's wail-like screech.Zhao's maniacal laughter pierced the energy chaos: "You think you've shattered a weapon?""This is the altar!"Tang Yao's scream and the roar of the energy explosion rang out simultaneously.Bo Yu, in the final moments, shielded the weakening Tang Yao with his body, bearing the first wave of impact.He clearly heard his spine cracking like fragile porcelain, and the metal sensation that had been blocked now pierced his brain like a million steel needles.The shattered pieces of the cube were reassembling, and each face reflected images of different times and spaces."Yao Yao... hold on..."Bo Yu's wolf tail had already been severed into three parts, but he still bit into Tang Yao's collar with his canine teeth.They were like dry leaves in the storm, crashing through seven stone walls before smashing into the blood pool at the altar's base.The thick liquid immediately submerged their mouths and noses. Before he could suffocate, Bo Yu saw countless familiar faces floating on the surface of the blood pool—those were the lives that had been consumed by the cube.Tang Yao suddenly began to struggle violently.Her birthmark shone with an eerie purple light in the blood water, and some sound beyond language resonated directly between their touching skin.Bo Yu felt icy fingers probing into his shattered chest, drawing a blood-stained symbol on his beating heart.The blood pool suddenly began to rotate clockwise, and the nine pieces of the cube formed a reversed Big Dipper diagram on the ceiling.Bo Yu, holding the fainting Tang Yao, was about to leap out of the blood pool when he realized his wolf claws were dissolving.The blood water wasn't liquid, but instead was composed of compressed stardust and time-space rifts.Zhao's roar echoed from all directions: "Welcome to the eternal night!"Bo Yu's last awareness was of Tang Yao's suddenly wide-open eyes.Her originally dark pupils had transformed into two rotating galaxies, and under the vast starry sky, his wolf bloodline was undergoing an irreversible mutation...
