As soon as they heard this howl, both Xiao Ming and Huang Xie stopped moving and carefully looked at the center of this pack.
From the center, there was this wolf that was much larger than the rest that came out.
This wolf was almost covered in flames, showing just how powerful it was.
This wolf was most likely the leader of this pack.
From the aura that it released, Xiao Ming was able to tell that this wolf was in the Peak Foundation Realm.
It was strong enough that it would pose a serious threat to Xiao Ming…
If she wasn’t careful, she might die at the hands…paws of this wolf.
So her first thought was to…escape.
Since she couldn’t deal with it, she would leave it to someone that could.
That would most likely be the elders and her master.
She had thought that they would make a move as soon as this wolf leader appeared, but they didn’t seem like they would do anything. It was like they were watching to see what this wolf leader would do.
Xiao Ming turned to look at Huang Xie, but she found that this junior brother of hers was already charging at the wolf leader.
He didn’t even hesitate for a second as he was surrounded by the different wolves.
Though they bit him with their jaws, all they could do was leave a bruise on him and couldn’t hurt him at all.
Huang Xie seemed to have a determined look as he charged at the wolf leader.
The wolf leader was caught off guard by this human who suddenly charged at him, but it was the leader of this pack for a reason.
It didn’t let itself be caught off guard for long as it quickly gathered the flames around it and it shot out a large ball of flames at Huang Xie.
Huang Xie didn’t hesitate at all as he charged right into the ball of flames.
Just like before, he was able to scatter that ball of flames with that layer of green light around him.
Xiao Ming couldn’t help being shocked when she saw this.
Huang Xie was still in the Qi Gathering Realm. Since he hadn’t started cultivating that long ago, he was only in the Third Qi Gathering Level.
Yet he was able to rely on his physique to take the hit of a spirit beast in the Peak Foundation Realm…
So that raised the question, just how strong was his physique that it was able to do this?
Just what kind of monster did her master find to be her junior brother?
Xiao Ming couldn’t help feeling pressure when she saw this.
Huang Xie didn’t stop at all as he charged at the wolf leader after scattering that ball of flames.
The wolf leader had been shocked and wasn’t able to react in time, so Huang Xie was able to run right up in front of the wolf leader.
Holding his sword up, he slashed down at the wolf leader.
The wolf leader could only gather spiritual energy around itself to guard against this attack since it was too late for it to run.
“Clang.”
With this sound, Huang Xie was blown back by the barrier of the wolf leader.
He wasn’t even able to make a single crack on the barrier.
When he was blown back, the wolf leader couldn’t help looking at Huang Xie in shock, clearly not expecting this.
It had thought that it was in trouble when it saw Huang Xie smashing through its fireball attack like that, but it never expected…Huang Xie to be this weak.
It almost couldn’t help feeling ashamed because of this fear that it had felt for a second…
And as such, it became angry.
The flames around the wolf leader started to grow bigger once more before it became a cloak of flames.
This cloak of flames continued to move across the wolf leader’s body until it gathered at its head.
The flames all entered the open mouth of the wolf leader and then formed a large fireball inside of that mouth.
This fireball continued to gather for a while before the wolf leader suddenly shot it out at Huang Xie.
This fireball was clearly much stronger than the fireball from before.
Even if Huang Xie had blocked the fireball from before…it didn’t seem like he would be able to block it.
Xiao Ming quickly said, “Junior brother, don’t!”
But it was already too late as Huang Xie had started charging forward.
The faint green glow appeared around him once again as he charged at the ball of flames and then he was enveloped by those flames.
This time, he didn’t pop out the other side right away and disappeared under the flames for a bit.
But in the end, the flames still scattered from around Huang Xie and he came out of the flames undamaged.
Well, undamaged was a bit of an exaggeration since there were parts of his clothes that were burned and there were still flames that were in his hair, it was just that there was the green glow protecting him.
Huang Xie turned back to look at Xiao Ming since he knew that it was impossible for him to fight this wolf leader alone.
If he wanted to win, he needed the help of his senior sister since his attacks couldn’t pierce through the defenses of this wolf leader.
Huang Xie said, “Senior sister, wait for an opportunity and attack. I’ll draw the wolf leader’s attention.”
Before Xiao Ming could say anything, Huang Xie was already charging at the wolf leader.
He had wrapped himself up in his green glow as he charged at the wolf leader.
Seeing this, the wolf leader couldn’t help stumbling back a step.
For the first time, the wolf leader was feeling fear.
But when it was surrounded by its pack like this, it couldn’t just back down since it was the leader.
So the only thing that the wolf leader could do was dig its heels in and charge at Huang Xie.
Huang Xie didn’t back down when he saw the wolf leader charge at him and kept charging at the wolf leader to face it.
The two of them clashed and they were able to hold each other in place.
The wolf leader wasn’t able to seriously injure Huang Xie while Huang Xie wasn’t able to hurt the wolf leader at all. All they could do was exchange blows and keep each other in place.
Xiao Ming was a bit surprised to see this, but she didn’t waste any time.
This was the precious opening that her junior brother had created for her, so she couldn’t let it go to waste.
The wolf leader also saw this out of the corner of its eyes and it knew that this was bad for it, so it gave a howl.
When it howled, the other wolves started moving.
They had been watching the fight between the wolf leader and Huang Xie in a daze, but they suddenly came back to their senses when the wolf leader howled.
Immediately, they turned to Xiao Ming and tried to surround her.
However, Xiao Ming was able to make her way through these wolves.
She didn’t struggle with them in the first place, so of course they weren’t able to hold her back now.
In no time at all, she reached the wolf leader and Haung Xie.
The wolf leader knew that this situation was bad, so it had no choice but to escape.
Even if it meant losing prestige as the leader, it couldn’t let itself die here.
The most important thing in the end was its life.
So it decided to run.
With flames gathering in its mouth, the wolf leader suddenly shot out a breath of flames that completely surrounded Huang Xie.
These flames were much weaker than before, but they weren’t meant to hurt him in the first place.
These flames were nothing more than a cover for it to run away with.
As soon as these flames enveloped Huang Xie, the wolf leader turned to run away.
However, it didn’t expect Huang Xie to jump out of the flames like it was nothing.
The green light that had been around Huang Xie was now stronger than before, so the flames hadn’t been able to do a single thing to him.
As soon as he jumped through the flames, he saw that the wolf leader was planning to run away. So without hesitation, Huang Xie opened his arms and wrapped them around the wolf leader.
Before the wolf leader could run away, Huang Xie had caught it in his embrace and was holding it in place.
At this point, the wolf leader started to panic and started to do all that it could to break free, but for some reason…it wasn’t able to.
It was almost like there was an iron vice that had surrounded it, holding it in place. It wasn’t able to break free no matter how hard it tried.
But that didn’t make sense at all!
This was just a human in the Qi Gathering Realm, how could he be this strong?
As Huang Xie held the wolf leader, he shouted, “Senior sister! Do it quickly! I can’t hold it for long!”
lightsnοvεl.cοm The wolf leader had been focused on biting Huang Xie to no avail when it heard this and it quickly turned around to look at Xiao Ming, but it was already too late.
Huang Xie lifted the wolf leader up when it was caught off guard and brought the belly of the wolf up.
In a single slash, Xiao Ming’s sword cut right through the belly of the wolf leader.
