Chapter 70 - The True Form of the Lord of Silver White Giant Wolf

Lai Li grabbed at the air, and a spear materialized in her hand, which she hurled directly at the Lord of Silver White.

The speed of the spear was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to react, appearing as if it was nothing at all.

The Lord of Silver White, taken aback, unleashed a silver white radiance from his fingertips.

Although it was too late to fully deploy his defense, he managed to block the inevitable path of the spear.

But in the next second, the spear, seemingly unhindered in the slightest, pierced straight through the Lord of Silver White’s defenses and stabbed fiercely into his heart.

“How can this be…” The spear left no wound, but still, the Lord of Silver White clutched his heart tightly as large beads of sweat slowly rolled down his forehead.

“Phew~” It took a long while for the Lord of Silver White to slowly regain his composure and reassess Lai Li, “Soul Walker!”

“You’re just realizing that?” Lai Li asked with a smile, “How does the taste of this ‘Spear of the Soul’ feel?”

“Very strong,” the Lord of Silver White praised Lai Li’s eerie attack without any falsehood and then continued, “Soul Walkers are indeed a rare profession.

I have had the fortune to encounter it twice, but never has anyone been as potent as you.

Your Power of Soul has reached a level of materialization, which is the first step toward reaching the Heavenly God Level.”

“Stop blathering with this nonsense, attack me,” Lai Li did not want to hear so much idle talk; fighting was her utmost goal.

“Fine!” The Lord of Silver White shouted, his body’s silver white light intensified, and two polar lights shot out, which Lai Li blocked with a shield of condensed grey, warding off the polar light attack.

“That’s all you’ve got?

You can’t even break through my defense?” Although Lai Li felt pressure from the two streams of polar light, she was still in control and thus continued to taunt the Lord of Silver White.

“You will regret that!” A roar came from within the light, and then the power of the polar lights surged multiple times over.

Lai Li struggled against it but was still blasted back several meters by the impact.

As the power of the polar lights dispersed, a hundred-meter-long claw descended from the sky, tearing fiercely towards Lai Li.

Under the assault of the claw, the whole city of Hope Sea City shook, leaving three kilometer-long claw marks at the gates of the eastern sector.

Caught a little off guard by this sudden attack, Lai Li had sustained a minor injury, with a trickle of blood slowly dropping from the half-clenched palm of her hand.

“Now this is getting interesting.” Lai Li licked the wound in her palm, the fragrant taste of blood brought back fond memories.

“It’s my turn now!” Lai Li’s hands slowly came together, and after a brief chant, thousands of transparent tendrils burst forth from the ground centered around her, launching a fierce onslaught towards the interior of the silver lights.

With every tendril strike, the earth would tremble.

When thousands of tendrils lashed without pause, Hope Sea City was as if experiencing an earthquake.

“Silver Wolf’s Howl!” Due to the enveloping silver light, it was not clear how the Lord of Silver White was faring under Lai Li’s summoned tendrils.

However, from the Lord of Silver White’s shout, one could tell he was not enjoying it.

Silver Wolf’s Howl was the same Skill the Lord of Silver White had used to attack Lu Hong before, only this time it was even more powerful.

The sky above Hope Sea City suddenly shattered, and from the heavens descended a deluge of silver radiance like a flood from the Milky Way, enveloping half of Hope Sea City within it.

“Soul Burial!” With a thought from Lai Li, all the tendrils plunged into the silver light, tightly entwining the Lord of Silver White before exploding violently.

As the tendrils exploded, a wave of grey energy flattened a kilometer radius of land.

All the while, the silver celestial river struck down heavy upon Lai Li.

“Damn it, Lai Li, are you crazy?” Lu Hong, hiding inside the washbasin, spoke without a care and continued, “Why would you trade Skills with the Lord of Silver White?”

“Because I’m fully upgraded,” Lai Li, able to hear Lu Hong, conversed with him nonchalantly even while being washed over by the silver light—could she still afford the energy to chat casually with Lu Hong?

Full…

full upgrade?

Third Transition Peak?

Lu Hong felt even more envious now; what did a full upgrade even mean?

At the Second Transition, there are three upgrades, but at Third Transition, there would be countless upgrades to choose from.

What does being fully upgraded mean?

Invincible!

If he, Lu Hong, were at Third Transition full upgrade, then he could strut around the world unchallenged.

“Oh, it’s nothing, just asking,” the stung Lu Hong didn’t want to talk to Lai Li anymore.

There’s nothing to discuss with someone who’s essentially cheating.

With the conclusion of the Silver Wolf’s Howl Skill, Lai Li had even managed to change her clothes amidst the chaos?

However, the scattered white spots on her arm and face betrayed signs of injury, though only she knew their severity.

“Mother of God, is this what a battle at the Third Transition Peak level looks like?

When will we ever be able to do this?” The ten Third Transition powerhouses from before had hidden far away, fearing they would be inadvertently involved, but they couldn’t help but admire the magnificent duel they had witnessed.

They could rightly be called powerhouses, since any Third Transition profession would qualify one as such, but the gap between powerhouses was still as vast as the heavens and the earth.

These few individuals, once Lu Hong reached Third Transition, would merely serve as experience fodder for others.

Not only did the Third Transition warriors at the East Gate notice the commotion in the eastern part of the city, but the guards at the other gates had also spotted the disturbance early on; however, they didn’t dare to approach and could only watch from afar.

“I just sustained a minor injury.

How about you?

Are you still alive?” Lai Li looked at the Lord of Silver White.

The silver light enveloping him was now incredibly dim, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

“Cough, cough…” The Lord of Silver White seemed to have suffered serious injuries from Lai Li’s “Soul Burial” Skill, coughing up blood possibly.

“Don’t be silent; I know you have a backup plan.

Transform, won’t you?

Your human form has always been a restraint, hasn’t it?” Lai Li knew very well the secret of the Lord of Silver White.

“How did you come to know of this?” The Lord of Silver White’s voice was hoarse and carried a hint of disbelief.

“The Silver White family was originally claimed to be the Hua clan of the Heavenly Wolf, but after the Silver White family united the plane, the Hua clan of the Heavenly Wolf was almost forgotten by people.” Lai Li slowly revealed a piece of the Silver White family’s history that was little known.

“Who on earth are you?” the Lord of Silver White roared furiously, nearly touching upon the Silver White family’s core secrets with that brief inquiry.

“I am someone who knows all the secrets of your Silver White family.” Lai Li said with a cold laugh.

She definitely wouldn’t tell the Lord of Silver White that she knew all this because she once had read the soul of a past, past, past, past, past Lord of Silver White.

“The history of our Silver White family couldn’t possibly be known to an outsider,” the Lord of Silver White’s voice became low and raspy.

“Unfortunately for you, I do know.

Come on, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the form of a Sky Wolf,” Lai Li smiled, “Hurry up and transform, or you won’t stand a chance of winning against me.”

“Aoou~” As Lai Li finished speaking, a howl emerged from within the silver light; the Lord of Silver White made a split-second decision.

He realized he indeed couldn’t beat Lai Li, even if they exchanged Skills, he would still be at a disadvantage.

“It’s out,” Lai Li said excitedly, staring at the silver light sphere.

Suddenly, a thirty-meter-long pure silver giant wolf burst forth, as fast as lightning, and launched an attack on the guards at the West Gate of Hope Sea City.

The poor guards at the West Gate had no time to resist and were torn to shreds by the giant wolf’s claws.

“The Lord of Silver White is a wolf?

He’s attacking us!” The guards at the other three gates were shocked and had no time to think further; fleeing for their lives was the priority!

But the giant wolf didn’t give them a chance.

As it leaped into the sky, its silky fur emitted a dazzling light, then it shot out a million light arrows, completely overwhelming the guards at the South and North Gates, leaving them with no ability to resist.

As for the East Gate, the giant wolf’s claws swept down three cold lights, intending to take the lives of those ten Third Transition warriors.

“You want to kill them?

I won’t allow it.” Lai Li conjured a grey shield to block the attack of the giant wolf, buying those ten Third Transition warriors time to escape.

“If you don’t run, I can promise not to kill you, but you must come back with me to the Silver White plane,” the giant wolf said upon seeing Lai Li’s interference, knowing it had missed the best opportunity to kill them.

“Who the hell would believe you!

To think that after so many years of serving the Silver White family, it turns out to be a beastly clan!” the old Mage spat, then turned and ran, with the other few Third Transition warriors following him, fleeing for their lives.

“Damn it!” the giant wolf roared in anger and rushed toward them.

“I told you, I won’t let you kill them.” Lai Li conjured the Power of Soul into a fist as big as a sandbag and blocked the giant wolf’s path.

“Damn you!” The giant wolf was frantic inside but had no choice; it seemed that it had no chance of pursuing and killing those few Third Transition warriors unless it killed Lai Li first.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, now the secret of your Silver White family being beasts will be out.

Happy about that?” Lai Li seemed in a good mood as she asked, laughing.

You should know that the people of the Sacred Empire pride themselves on being human; most humans would absolutely refuse to submit to the leadership of a beast.

Otherwise, why would there have been a rebellion when the orcs ruled the empire?

Therefore, once the fact that the Silver White family were lycanthropes was exposed, it could almost be certain that ninety percent of the families’ vassals would leave them.

This would be a huge blow to the Silver White family, and, no doubt, the other Seven Great Families would also turn against them.

So this information absolutely could not get out!

“But don’t worry, not only your family among the Eight Great Families has blood of other races.” Lai Li knew of the giant wolf’s concerns and offered some careless consolation.

“There are other families like us?” It was the Lord of Silver White’s turn to be stunned.

“Of course,” Lai Li said with certainty.

“Which other family?

If you tell me, I can swear by the name of Hua En, the Sky Wolf Lord, to the Heavenly Wolf God that I will definitely not kill you,” the giant wolf offered its terms.

“Too bad I don’t feel like telling,” Lai Li shook her head, “Guess for yourself.”

“You’re asking for it!” The giant wolf felt it was being played again and was livid with rage.
