Chapter 63: Battle Against 3 Shadow Abyss Royals
The first thing Jiang Ran, Chen Mo, and Song Zhiyi thought when they saw Lin Yuan was that they were saved.
Unfortunately, their thought lasted for less than a second.
They only remembered that Lin Yuan only had the strength of the ninth level of the first rank, even though Lin Yuan had the strength to kill demons of higher levels.
But these three are all second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss Wolves, and not just any ordinary Shadow Abyss Wolves...
……
The three Shadow Abyss royals turned their heads in unison, their three pairs of eerie green pupils simultaneously locking onto the uninvited guest in the corner of the hall.
The royal creature whose claw was struck by the lightning arc looked down at its forepaw, where a shallow cut had appeared on its dark silver fur, from which dark red blood beads were seeping.
It licked the wound in disbelief, its eerie green pupils narrowing slightly.
A human at the ninth level of the first tier injured a member of the Shadow Abyss royal family at the fifth level of the second tier with a single move.
Even a single bloodstain is something that should never have happened.
In the center of the hall, in front of the Shadow Wolf statue.
The prince's raised claws froze in mid-air.
It sensed the attack of the lightning arc. Although the pressure of the seventh-tier combat skill was diluted by the user's low cultivation level, the skill's quality was still there.
The moment the lightning exploded, even the imperial bloodline within its body stirred slightly.
The prince slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the human boy in the corner of the hall.
First tier, nine levels.
A faint hint of surprise flashed in the Emperor's golden pupils. Its gaze lingered on Lin Yuan for a moment before shifting away.
"It's up to you now."
His voice was flat, devoid of any extra emotion.
"Don't let these ants bother me."
Upon hearing this, the three Shadow Abyss royals immediately lowered their heads and raised their right forepaws to their left chests.
The prince turned around and faced the towering Shadow Abyss Wolf statue again.
It no longer cared about the battle behind it; three second-tier level 5 royals against a first-tier level 9 person was a foregone conclusion.
Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Abyss royal member that had been injured by Lin Yuan slowly turned around.
It shook its front paws, which had been struck by the lightning arc, and looked down at Lin Yuan with disdain.
With a shoulder height of 2.5 meters, the pressure of a second-level, fifth-tier being was released without reservation, making the air in the hall feel heavier.
"First Rank, Ninth Level"
Its voice was hoarse and deep, with the guttural sounds unique to animals, but there was a hint of uncertainty in its tone.
"What tier is your combat skill?"
Lin Yuan hoisted Zidian onto his shoulder.
"Call me 'Oh, sir,' and I'll tell you."
The Shadow Abyss royal's dark green pupils contracted slightly, its face full of questions, as it turned to look at the other two Shadow Abyss wolves beside it.
"What is 'Oh, sir'?"
Bai Li stumbled from another corner and ran to Lin Yuan's side.
Her off-white casual clothes were covered in dust and bloodstains, and there was still bloodstains on the corner of her mouth that hadn't been wiped clean.
She ran up to Lin Yuan, looked up at him—she was only up to his chest, and when she looked up, her eyes beneath her dusty eyelashes shone with an astonishing brightness.
"Senior, you've arrived."
Her voice was soft, trembling slightly with the faint sound of someone who had survived a close call.
But her tone wasn't stating a fact; it was more like confirming something she already knew would happen.
Just like when she was cornered in her first year of high school, she had the same expression when he appeared.
It's not "Why did you come?" but "I knew you would come."
Xiaxia limped over after getting up from the ground. She didn't smile, but her voice carried an uncontrollable weakness.
"How did you find us?" She paused, then added.
"These wolves are strange; their hides are thick and tough. My Qingfeng sword energy feels like a tickle to them. You're all alone..."
Lin Yuan didn't let her finish speaking, but interrupted her, saying calmly, "Leave it to me."
The three of them fell silent for a moment.
Bai Li looked up at his profile; she knew Lin Yuan spoke casually.
But she was standing close enough to see that his knuckles were white from gripping Zidian tightly.
His lips still curved in the same way, but his eyes didn't smile. Lin Yuan's eyes never smiled when there was real danger.
Three second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss royals, and an even stronger one stood behind them.
He was alone, but there were people he had to protect behind him.
The forty-odd citizens huddled together in a corner of the hall without making a sound; they had basically given up hope.
Because they knew that the person leading the team at the safe point hadn't come to rescue them yet, and was most likely already...
……
The three Shadow Abyss royals spread out in a triangular formation.
One stayed in place, while the other two began to move slowly along both sides of the hall, each step unhurried, as they surrounded Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan gripped the Purple Lightning tightly.
He could sense that the energy within these three Shadow Abyss Wolves was much more concentrated than that of ordinary Shadow Abyss Wolves, and their dark silver fur was interspersed with strands of golden patterns.
Royal bloodline!
The Shadow Abyss Wolf standing in front of the statue had an energy fluctuation stronger than the three royal wolves combined.
"Second-tier, sixth level; their bloodline might even surpass that of royalty, perhaps even the imperial family..."
Lin Yuan took Zidian off his shoulder, and the Sands of Time silently activated.
Within a four-meter radius, invisible gravel slowly dispersed.
The two Shadow Abyss royal members responsible for flanking the enemy made the first move.
The creature on the left pushed off the ground with all four limbs, its massive body lunging forward at a speed completely disproportionate to its size. Its right forepaw, imbued with shadow energy, struck Lin Yuan's left shoulder.
At the same time, the one on the right launched an attack from another direction, opening its blood-red maw to bite Lin Yuan's right leg.
The Shadow Abyss royal beast that had been injured by Lin Yuan was positioned at the front, observing and keeping its eyes fixed on Lin Yuan's movements, waiting for him to reveal a weakness.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan did not retreat.
Within the deceleration range of the Sands of Time, the speed of the two Shadow Abyss royals simultaneously dropped sharply.
Although the second-tier fifth level reduced the deceleration effect, it was enough to go from "not being able to see clearly" to "seeing clearly".
He turned to his left, the purple lightning swirling in his hand…
"Thunder Strikes the Nine Heavens - First Form: Awakening of Insects".
The spear tip flicked upwards, precisely striking the joint of the Shadow Wolf's left forepaw, and lightning exploded at the spear tip.
This time, however, when the lightning struck the royal family's golden patterns, the patterns only flickered violently for a moment and were not pierced.
The Shadow Wolf's front paw was blown to the other side, missing its target, but only a shallow scorch mark appeared at the joint.
Lin Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression became serious.
The Awakening of Insects is the starting move of a seventh-tier spear technique, and its penetrating power is among the best in its tier.
When hit on a normal Tier 2, Level 5 monster, it can at least break through its shell.
But the blow only left a scorch mark on the royal Shadow Abyss Wolf.
