Chapter 526: Chapter 525

"Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves? No wonder you’re in such a sorry state. I can’t guarantee that I can kill them all, but I can at least take one down with me!"

"Taking one down with you would be for your own sake. If I’m going to die, naturally, there will be others accompanying me in death!" Qing Hu said with a cold laugh.

At this point, Ye Tianchen had already started battling Fierce Wolf fiercely. The collision between the Taie Sword and Soul Stealing Great Saber surprised Ye Tianchen. The Taie Sword was one of the ten ancient Divine Swords known as the Power Sword. Although Ye Tianchen had mastered the Taie Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, and Xuanyuan Sword, these three divine swords, he was still unable to fully wield their power. This only made him even more aware of the formidable nature of these ten ancient divine swords. Although he had reached the Emperor-level in the Superpower Realm, a single level’s difference meant a world of difference in strength, and he was still unable to fully harness the power of these three swords.

Nevertheless, as the Taie Sword was the Power Sword, even though Ye Tianchen couldn’t unleash all its power, he had already integrated his Origin Strange Energy into it, gaining the recognition of the Taie Sword. Thus, even his sword strikes inherently carried an imposing force, which were all completely blocked by Fierce Wolf. Furthermore, the Soul Stealing Great Saber in Fierce Wolf’s hand was used with agile and fluid movements, far from being clumsy. Its sword energy was powerful enough to shatter anything.

The Demon Mercenaries Seven Wolves, each member’s strength was monstrously powerful. Now, Ye Tianchen also realized why a top expert like Qing Hu nearly lost his life. The six members of the demon mercenaries each possessed strength comparable to theirs. That is, any of the wolves was capable of giving them a tough fight with an unpredictable outcome. Let alone if they attacked together, even if they took turns fighting, it would still be overwhelming. The Seven Wolves were seven extremely powerful experts.

"Ye Tianchen, are you trying to take one to death with you?" Qing Hu looked at Ye Tianchen, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with Fierce Wolf, and asked smilingly.

"You and Fei Bao take one each, and I’ll directly kill the remaining four to avenge you guys. How’s that for a plan?" Ye Tianchen chuckled and said.

"Our issue isn’t settled yet, kid. But let’s put it aside for now. After I kill these few wolves, we talk!" Fei Bao clenched his fists tightly and said.

The person who came out to save Qing Hu was Fei Bao. Fei Bao had been chasing Ye Tianchen all this way. With his exceptionally strong Superpower Perception, upon entering this Original Forest, he immediately felt the surging energy here and thus came over. Naturally, this also led to Fei Bao, who was pursuing Ye Tianchen, following him here.

It was now no longer just a matter of personal grievances between Ye Tianchen, Fei Bao, and Qing Hu. It was about the survival of the entire Heavenly Gang War General troops and a matter of national pride. Thus, they naturally united. The formidable strength of the six members of the Demon Mercenaries Seven Wolves was also something they could all feel. If they could eliminate all six, it would certainly feel like a significant achievement.

Whoosh!

After Fei Bao finished speaking, he was the first to dash towards Mad Wolf, the only member amongst the six demon mercenaries who fought barehanded. His pair of iron fists were his weapon, incredibly hard, and he had considerable confidence in his fists. Seeing Fei Bao daring to charge at him, Mad Wolf revealed a vicious smile.

"This is like delivering your life to my doorstep. None of you dare compete with me for this kill!"

Having said this, Mad Wolf also charged towards Fei Bao like lightning. When he was still over ten meters away from Fei Bao, he stomped forcefully on the ground with both feet, propelling himself into the air and threw a punch at Fei Bao.

Seeing such a mighty attack from Mad Wolf, Fei Bao also frowned. He was a bloodthirsty warrior and was somewhat thrilled upon hearing that they were dealing with the Demon Mercenaries Seven Wolves. He had heard about their incredible strength and wanted to see just how powerful these Seven Wolves really were. Today, Fei Bao had decided to fight a bloody battle right there on the spot.

Therefore, facing such a ferocious punch from Mad Wolf, Fei Bao neither dodged nor evaded. He planted his feet firmly on the ground and clenched his right fist, swinging it upward in return.

Boom!

A muffled sound rang out as Fei Bao and Mad Wolf’s fists collided. Mad Wolf somersaulted in mid-air and landed, stepping back two steps, while Fei Bao left two deep footprints in the ground. The impact of that punch showed that neither was lacking in strength.

Blood Wolf glanced to his left and right. Seeing that Fierce Wolf and Mad Wolf had joined the battle, he too began to engage. It appeared the remaining Sky Wolf, Powerful Wolf, and Ferocious Wolf would not take action. The Demon Mercenaries Seven Wolves rarely fought together; one reason was because they felt it beneath them, and another was because there was mutual competition and killing intent among them. If there was a chance to kill each other during the fight, they would not hesitate, even wishing others would die in the battle.

At this moment, Blood Wolf thought for a moment and prepared to charge towards Ye Tianchen, who was currently in a fierce battle with Fierce Wolf. He naturally could also sense the arrival of Fei Bao and Ye Tianchen, whose strengths were no less than that of Qing Hu. If things continued like this, the battle would seemingly never end. If anyone wanted to defeat their opponent in a short period of time, that was nearly impossible. To seek a quick resolution, they would have to team up.

However, just as Blood Wolf prepared to move towards Ye Tianchen, Qing Hu abruptly blocked his way and said coldly with a smile, "Your opponent is me!"

"Humph, you’re already severely injured. Killing you would be as easy as stepping on an ant," Blood Wolf said sternly, staring at Qing Hu.

"Then try it. I think this battle has just begun," Qing Hu retorted, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and staring back at Blood Wolf calmly.

Blood Wolf frowned. He hadn’t expected Qing Hu to still have the strength to fight. This guy was indeed formidable; first, he had fought Fierce Wolf to a mutual defeat, then he was severely injured by his own Shadow Dual Blades, and now he still had the strength to fight. It seemed that perhaps as the boss, Demon Wolf, had said, the Heavenly Gang War Generals were not to be underestimated.

Whoosh!

Qing Hu made the first move, slashing his blade towards Blood Wolf’s head with a strong gust of wind, startling Blood Wolf, who rapidly parried with his Shadow Dual Blades.

Truth be told, at this moment, Qing Hu was barely hanging on. The strength of these six members of the Seven Wolves demon mercenaries had far exceeded his expectations. Had it not been for the accidental arrival of Ye Tianchen and Fei Bao, he likely would have been killed already. Alone, he was no match for these six freakishly strong opponents. Naturally, Fei Bao’s capabilities didn’t need further mentioning, not inferior to him, Qing Hu. But Ye Tianchen was beyond Qing Hu’s expectations, unexpectedly so young yet possessing such combat prowess, truly inconceivable. Of course, this was also good news for Qing Hu, as it meant an additional strong fighter had joined them until their leader, Man Tian, could arrive.

However, to say that Fei Bao and Ye Tianchen alone could defeat these six members of the Seven Wolves was still highly unlikely. It wasn’t that Qing Hu felt that his fighting ability was the strongest, but rather because these six members were indeed formidable. That’s why Qing Hu forced himself to keep fighting; every additional fighter could potentially turn the tide. If he were to lose his ability to fight now, then Ye Tianchen and Fei Bao would have to face the six wolves alone, and the pressure would be immense.

Clang!

Blood Wolf blocked Qing Hu’s slash but also frowned, his eyes filled with a murderous intent, continually swinging his Shadow Dual Blades, attempting to kill Qing Hu. Qing Hu was already mutually exhausted from his fight with Fierce Wolf, and now he hadn’t managed to kill Qing Hu; even more, he had been wounded by him. Blood Wolf indeed felt a deep sense of humiliation.

With battles imminent to break out, Ye Tianchen was fiercely fighting Fierce Wolf, Fei Bao was battling Mad Wolf, and Qing Hu continued his fierce fight with Blood Wolf. As for Powerful Wolf, Sky Wolf, and Fierce Wolf, these three wolves stood leisurely aside to watch—they wouldn’t intervene nor deign to do so but were waiting for the outcome. If Ye Tianchen and the others emerged victorious, they would proceed with further slaughter; if Fierce Wolf and the others prevailed, then they could all return home.

Sword Qi and Sword Energy permeated the air, explosions reverberated everywhere. The area where Ye Tianchen and Fierce Wolf fought was so intense that no one dared to come close. The two occasionally released enormously powerful forces, turning everything in the vicinity to dust; whereas Fei Bao and Fierce Wolf, both fighting bare-handed, seemed to dislike using weapons, but their battleground was no less fierce than Ye Tianchen’s and Fierce Wolf’s—one punch could devastate the ground or trees beyond repair. As for Qing Hu and Blood Wolf, both wielding blades, their close combat persisted. Qing Hu, already severely injured, was mostly on the defensive, and it was improbable for Blood Wolf to kill him in the short term.

"These three useless things, how much longer must we wait?"

"I should have just handled it myself from the start!"

"Blood Wolf, you’re so damn useless. I already left him severely wounded, and you still can’t kill him?"

At this time, Powerful Wolf, Sky Wolf, and Fierce Wolf, who were watching from the side, also began to express their impatience. From their words, one could discern that the relations within the Seven Wolves were not good—they merely cooperated with each other to maintain a deterrent effect, yet competition and strife amongst them were incessant.

Beep!

Just then, deep in the Original Forest, a blaze of fire shot up. The fire burst into the sky and slowly formed a blood-red wolf’s head... (To be continued.
