Chapter 64 Peak Tier 2 B-Rank Defensive Ability Card
Lin Yuan had no time to think further; the wolf's jaws on his right were already at his legs.
Using the recoil from the Awakening of Insects, he turned and slashed diagonally...
"Thunder Moves Through the Nine Heavens - Second Form: Thunder Arc".
A crescent-shaped arc of lightning flew out and struck the Shadow Abyss Wolf's face precisely on the right.
The arc blade exploded, forcing the Shadow Abyss Wolf to close its left eye.
As a result, he tilted his head slightly, which reduced the force of his bite by more than half.
However, at the same time, its right forepaw swept across, the claw tip grazing Lin Yuan's right arm. The bones of the Nine-Round Bone Tempering made a muffled sound, and three shallow bloodstains appeared on his skin.
In the first round, Lin Yuan blocked the combined attack of the two royal families.
But he didn't gain anything.
The injured Shadow Abyss royal member lowered its head and licked the wound on its paw, a hint of surprise flashing in its eerie green eyes.
It couldn't believe that a level 9 first-tier ability user could have such an attack, let alone that the opponent's ability level was only E-level.
The other two Shadow Abyss Wolves rearranged their positions, forming a triangular formation that firmly surrounded Lin Yuan in the middle.
The Shadow Abyss royal member, which had been injured by the lightning arc, took a step forward, its eerie green eyes meeting Lin Yuan's gaze.
"A very strong combat technique," it said seriously, its tone no longer disdainful but earnest.
"To be able to unleash a combat technique with this kind of power at the ninth level of the first rank, you are indeed stronger than those few pieces of trash."
It paused.
"But that's where it ends."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the three Shadow Abyss royals moved simultaneously.
This attack was no longer a probe, nor a one-on-one fight; three second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss royals launched an attack simultaneously from three directions.
Shadow energy gathered at their claws; one blocked the front, while the other two attacked from the left and right, working in perfect coordination.
Their attack rhythm is almost perfect—one forces you to block, one forces you to dodge, and one waits for you to reveal an opening.
Faced with this deadly move, Lin Yuan also pushed the Sands of Time to their limit.
Instantly, the air within a four-meter radius of Lin Yuan became viscous, and the speed of the three Shadow Abyss Wolves was reduced at the same time. However, their second-tier fifth-level cultivation allowed them to withstand the slowdown and continue moving forward.
Lin Yuan moved swiftly through the gaps between the six claw shadows, wielding purple lightning in his hand.
Jingzhe pried open the claws of one on the left, Leihu repelled the attack of one on the right, and Benlei's light purple lightning rod flicked towards the eye of the one in front, forcing it to close its eyes.
In an instant, lightning flashed in the hall as the claws of the Shadow Abyss Wolf clashed repeatedly with the tip of the Purple Lightning Spear.
Lin Yuan managed to defend against six attacks, but unfortunately, he failed to defend against the seventh.
The Shadow Abyss Wolf in front of him seized Lin Yuan's opening and lashed his right shoulder hard with its tail.
The force was so great that even the bones tempered by nine rounds emitted a heavy thud.
Lin Yuan was sent flying and crashed into a load-bearing pillar in the hall, causing cracks to appear on the surface of the pillar.
"Senior!" Bai Li cried out in disbelief.
Lin Yuan slid down from the pillar, bracing himself with one hand on the ground, panting heavily, a sharp pain shooting through his right shoulder.
It wasn't a fracture; bones tempered by nine rounds of bone tempering aren't that easy to break, but the muscles and ligaments were already injured by the shock.
The range of motion in his right arm was clearly limited, and every breath aggravated the contusion in his scapula, causing Lin Yuan to break out in a sweat.
One against three, the difference in their cultivation levels is five.
They lack the right timing, location, and people.
He wiped away a trace of blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it, all those stories about challenging opponents much stronger than you in novels are just lies. Is it really that hard to take on three people at once?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan sensed a killing intent coming from the shadows behind him.
The Shadow Abyss royal family's talent—Shadow Travel.
Unlike ordinary Shadow Wolves, which can only teleport short distances in the shadows, the royal Shadow Traveler can silently emerge from any shadowy corner during battle.
Lin Yuan, who had just been injured, didn't have time to turn around, but he managed to take half a step to the side thanks to his space-time ability.
The claws grazed his back, tearing three gashes in the back.
The bone patterns of the Nine-Round Bone Tempering Blade flashed with golden light, withstanding the blow without being pierced. However, several bloody cuts appeared on the skin and flesh at the ribs, and blood flowed down the side of the waist.
It hurts. It really fucking hurts.
But there was a feeling even stronger than the pain: the bone in my back was burning hot.
It wasn't the burning pain of an injury, but a heat that burned from the depths of my bones.
Lin Yuan has been stuck at 99% of the Nine-Round Bone Tempering progress for a long time, and the small area on his back has never been covered by the golden bone patterns.
But now that gap is burning hot, as if something is stirring deep within the bone structure.
Just a little bit more! This last bit requires even fiercer fighting.
At the other end of the hall, Bai Li was still standing in the same spot.
Her legs were trembling, but she wouldn't move; she bit her lip so hard it was almost bleeding.
Xiaxia stood up, leaning on her Qingfeng sword, and grabbed her wrist: "Let's go!"
"I don't--"
"I can't fight freely with you here!" Lin Yuan dodged a descending shadow claw, his voice hoarse.
"I finally managed to put on a show of bravado, don't let me mess it up!"
Xiaxia took a deep breath, turned her head and shouted to the dozens of citizens in the corner, "Follow me."
The crowd then helped each other to their feet from the corner and moved toward the old airport.
Jiang Ran hoisted the injured Chen Mo's arm onto his shoulder and staggered after him; Song Zhiyi held the last arrow and brought up the rear.
Bai Li was the last to leave, looking back as she ran.
Moonlight shone through the cracks in the broken wall, illuminating her face, which was covered in tears.
Lin Yuan didn't look at her; the three wolves were relentlessly attacking him, and lightning and shadows exploded in the empty hall.
A dark streak of light suddenly turned a corner and chased after the direction Bai Li had left in.
Lin Yuan's eyes widened.
Lightning exploded beneath his feet, and he instantly appeared amidst the three Shadow Abyss Wolves.
He suddenly flung a card with a pale golden glow out of his pocket with his left hand.
Second-tier peak B-grade defense card - Golden Bell Shield.
He won this card in a bet with Zhao Tianyu in the wasteland when he was still in Donghai City.
At the time, Zhao Tianyu was very arrogant, saying that his B-level fire ability could easily defeat Lin Yuan's F-level lightning ability.
Then Zhao Tianyu lost, and the card ended up in Lin Yuan's pocket, which he never used.
It's being used now, but not to protect myself.
A pale gold protective shield unfolded in mid-air, turning down in a hemispherical shape.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan flipped his wrist sharply, not putting the protective shield on himself, but on the outside of himself and the three Shadow Abyss Wolves.
The massive protective shield enclosed all four of them, its golden light isolating them from the outside world.
The wolf chasing Bai Li slammed its paw against the inner wall of the protective barrier, causing a violent tremor, but it didn't penetrate it.
It turned around, its eerie green eyes appearing particularly sinister under the golden light.
All three Shadow Wolves stopped.
They found themselves locked in a cage.
It wasn't that he was imprisoned by humans, but rather that he was imprisoned with a human who was like an ant.
