Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just then, Qi Shu and the black wolf both erupted with their greatest strength and engaged in a frenzied battle. Both sides fought madly in the center of the battle with the intention of killing each other.

Qi Shu seemed especially frenzied. He was just like a wild beast. He attacked the wolf with offensive techniques using his fists, feet, body, and teeth. If he couldn’t kill the Wolf King and absorb its source of life, he would die because of his cultivation technique even if the martial master did not come here. 

“Bang!” 

Qi Shu’s fist landed on the black wolf’s nose, causing blood to gush out. However, the black wolf was not to be outdone. The sharp spikes on its front claws swiped over, and several pieces of Qi Shu’s flesh were ripped off.

Qi Shu didn’t even bat an eyelid at the loss of flesh and blood. Both of his hands attacked the black wolf’s throat ferociously as he attacked it crazily. 

The black wolf’s throat had already been bitten through by the giant snake. However, after suffering such a heavy blow, blood gushed out crazily, and the black wolf’s injuries worsened.

Qi Shu and the Wolf King engaged in an intense and cruel battle. The way Qi Shu fought as if he were trading a life for a life made the black wolf extremely furious. This human seemed to not care about his own life at all, and he did not even seem to feel any injuries. He was fighting so intensely with such a thin and small body, yet he was not at a disadvantage.

Right then, both of their wounds were worsening. Qi Shu’s entire body was oozing with blood. The wounds on his body were so deep that even his bones could be seen. The wounds had covered his entire body. His left arm had been twisted behind his back and was left completely useless. However, he continued to fight the black wolf like a madman.

At this moment, the Wolf King’s blood was boiling. It was not to be outdone either. The battle between the two was bloody and terrifying!

Qi Shu was sent flying, but he stood up with difficulty, ignoring his broken left hand. His body suddenly began to shake, and he almost fell to the ground. His body felt weak. He was about to die.

A look of joy appeared in the black wolf’s eyes. In the end, it was still the winner. It ran over quickly.

A trace of clarity appeared in Qi Shu’s blood-red eyes, but it was mostly madness. He suddenly gathered strength in its remaining right hand, and the blood-red color rose in his muscles once again.

He suddenly collapsed to the ground and clenched his fist tightly with one hand. Explosions rang out from all over his body as blood sprayed out of him. If an ordinary person lost so much blood, they would immediately die.

Qi Shu was currently hanging on to his last breath by using the Life Payment. He did not die. All of his potential would be transformed into this punch. Whether he lived or died depended on this moment.

Qi Shu looked coldly at the charging black wolf and slowly closed his eyes. It was as if he had entered the boundary between life and death. There was life in front of him, and death behind him. At this moment, the territory of death kept eroding the hope of life. Once death completely overtook life, he would definitely fall into eternal slumber.

When Qi Shu closed his eyes, he immediately felt a pain in his waist. The black wolf had already bitten him previously, and its teeth had pierced his body. It wanted to bite this human to pieces.

The moment Qi Shu’s body was bitten, he immediately struggled free from the black wolf’s jaws. However, he was almost bitten into two. He could even see the bleeding organs in his body.

There was not a single part of Qi Shu’s body that was intact. Even his organs were bleeding.

“It’s over!”

Just then, Qi Shu gathered his strength and charged towards the black wolf with large strides. With every step he took, the ground within a few hundred meters shook violently!

A punch that burned the last of his life force would definitely result in death.

Noticing this attack, the black wolf actually revealed a trace of fear in its heart. It could feel the aura of death in its fist!

The black wolf wanted to escape, but a powerful aura suddenly pressed down on its body, causing its limbs to sink into the ground. It could not dodge at all!

The black wolf roared. It could only unleash all of its strength. At this moment, it finally understood that humans were not to be provoked. Evolutionary beasts were easier to kill, but it was already too late.

Right then, the bloody red light on one side of the battle and the extreme black light on the other side clashed fiercely!

“Boom!”

The violent forces clashed violently. The tyrannical power swept in all directions with a cracking sound. The black wolf’s head, which had endured countless punches, was finally shattered. The purple-gold mark on its forehead dimmed, and his body slowly collapsed.

At this moment, Qi Shu staggered two steps forward and leaned against the black wolf’s corpse. Perhaps kings were born from the same roots, but the blood flowing out from both of them slowly merged together!

Only then did the commotion stop. The surroundings were silent. It was as if there had never been a battle. However, the ground around them was in tatters, and blood covered the entire ground. It was enough to show just how devastating the battle was.



At this moment, Qi Shu’s eyes were unfocused as well. He slowly closed his eyes. Within his consciousness, the hope of life rapidly vanished. Death had almost consumed him.

However, at the last moment, a dazzling green light burst out from the endless void of his consciousness. Then an endless amount of life force instantly dispersed the aura of death.

In the external world, the wounds on his body wriggled rapidly. Green tendrils of flesh sprouted out and connected the wounds at a visible rate.

In less than five seconds, the terrifying wound on his physical body was quickly healed. At that moment, the ruptured organs seemed to expand rapidly.

Qi Shu slowly woke up. He hit the ground with one hand and jumped up. Scabs of blood fell from his body. He seemed to have been reborn, and there seemed to be endless power in his body.

There was no sign of injuries on his chest and back, which had originally been filled with crisscrossing wounds. His flesh was as smooth as new. If not for the black wolf’s corpse, the battle just now would have felt like a dream.

At this moment, Qi Shu was surrounded by traces of blood-colored aura. After this battle, the True Qi produced by his body seemed to have undergone a strange change.

Qi Shu immediately rushed out. His speed was now several times faster than before. As he ran, he could feel the blood-red aura circulating around his legs and increasing his speed.

Qi Shu then punched a boulder on the mountain. He used his blood-colored True Qi to break it into pieces.

Qi Shu looked at the changes in his body as a trace of joy appeared on his face. “Martial Artist Level 9?!”

Qi Shu then looked not far behind him. At this moment, he could clearly feel a familiar aura rapidly approaching him. However, this aura no longer felt invincible anymore!
