Yang Wei was confident to win now that he has Xiao Wei by his side since the Lightning Wolf has stopped being aggressive.
âRAWRâ
The Lightning Wolf roared as he clenched his teeth tightly in this sudden change.
Yang Wei smiled as he positioned himself to be aggressive this time but before he could leap to strike the beast, Elder Jingâs voice echoed.
âYang Wei, put Xiao Wei back into your core and fight alone. I said to fight solo and not have a helper.â Elder Jing said as she continued to stand in the tree branch.
Yang Wei was confused as he exclaimed, âBut Xiao Wei is a part of my strength so wouldnât it be logical for me to have it with me in a fight.â
âDo you know what a trump card means?â
âIt means having something unexpected as you keep it hidden until the perfect timing to show it out.â
Yang Wei said without thinking and Elder Jing nodded her head as she curved her lips upward.
âIf you knew that a trump card is meant to be hidden until the very end, then what do you think youâre doing by showing Xiao Wei this quickly?â Elder Jing questioned and made Yang Wei speechless.
With a helpless expression, Yang Wei sighed as he ordered Xiao Wei to go back into his core.
âWell, youâre lucky, Lightning Wolf.â Yang Wei said as he pointed his sword toward the much-delighted beast.
A savage grin appeared on his horrific face as he licked his mouth. The beast was excited to see his opponent stopped having assistance but he remained cautious.
Instead of lunging forward, the Lightning Wolf did something unexpected.
He started growling and some lighting bolt began to gather around his mouth.
âYouâre joking with me right.â Yang Wei cursed inwardly as he saw the Lightning Wolf is activating some sort of lightning.
âItâs one of their most fearsome techniques, Lightning blast, and good luck Yang Wei,â Elder Jing explained to Yang Wei about the technique.
Shortly after, the Lightning Wolf shoots the lightning blast toward Yang Wei and the ground starts to tremble from the power.
Yang Wei hurriedly activated his spatial barrier to defend the attack. Alas, the barrier was unable to absorb most of the impact as it shattered into pieces.
BANG!
Yang Wei crashed backward as he got hit by lightning. Though Yang Wei took some damage, it wasnât critical since he managed to use his left arm to block the strike.
However, the Lightning Wolf was not done as it continued to use this technique to fire at Yang Wei.
He has learned his lesson that close-combat is Yang Weiâs forte so fighting long-ranged is the best tactic.
Yang Wei managed to dodge all the lightning blasts since he was prepared, unlike the first time where he was surprised and had shaky movement.
Running around in circles, Yang Wei couldnât get close to the Lightning Wolf as it will continue to retreat back while firing more lightning.
âDamn it, this Lightning Wolf is just like his name. Everything is about lightning in the end. Lightning power and lightning movement.â
Yang Wei could only use his sword to block most of the technique but every time he did that, the impact would push him backward.
Yang Wei has tried to use the thirteen sword slash move against the Lightning Wolf but given his swift movement, he could only slash at empty air.
Time slowly passed as this fight continued to remain stagnant but it was obvious that Yang Wei was slowly losing in endurance.
The Lightning Wolf squinted his eyes as he believed itâs time to end this fight.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAWOOOOOOOOOOOOOâ
With one last roar, the Lightning Wolf concentrated everything in this final blast to fire at Yang Wei.
As he started gathering the blast in his mouth, the Lightning Wolf sensed something trembles below him.
He lowered his head to look under and was surprised to see the ground started to soften. The ground collapsed and the Lightning Wolf fell straight down as he couldnât react in time to move away.
BOOOOOOOOOOM
The Lightning Wolf fell into a pit since the ground could no longer hold his body upward due to the insane qi gathering in his mouth.
Yang Wei laughed as he wiped off some of the blood in his mouth. âUnexpected right?â
Yang Wei stared at the Lightning Wolf in the pit as he finally caught him.
âDid you really think I was only aiming at the air with my slash? I knew that I can never land a direct hit with your swift movement so I decided to target the ground secretly.â
Yang Wei taunted as he smiled evilly at the Lightning Wolf. The Lightning Wolf was enraged as he tried to leap upward but Yang Wei easily slammed him back down with his sword.
âSorry, but I did not give you permission to come back up. Also, itâs myâ¦â Yang Wei said slowly as he used his true qi to activate the second slash of the technique onto the Lightning Wolf.
In an extremely narrowed pit and nowhere to run, the Lightning Wolf screamed in agony as it took the full impact.
Within a few seconds, the Lightning Wolf drew his final breath.
Seeing the beast finally died after a long fight, Yang Wei finished his last sentence, âItâs my win.â
Elder Jing also jumped down and clapped her hand in approval. âSeems like you can use your brain in a fight like this.â
âIf I didnât use my brain and panic then I would have most likely died. The Lightning Wolf was a smart beast and because of that, he wasnât willing to do close-combat with me.â Yang Wei said and continued.
âI won because of luck and not due to my insane prowess. I still have a lot of flaws since this could only work against a beast. If my enemy was a human then he would have long noticed my trick.â
Yang Wei sighs as he didnât feel accomplished in killing a beast in the Core Formation realm.
Elder Jing smiled secretly as she was happy that Yang Wei didnât celebrate like he was a strong cultivator.
âItâs good to know you have flaws and strive to work on it.â
Placing her hand on Yang Weiâs shoulder, Elder Jing patted lightly and said, âNow that youâve finished killing the beast and learned something. Itâs time to get down there and dissect the meat.â
