Chapter 524: 523

"My blade is fast; you won’t suffer too much pain when you die!" Blood Wolf coldly said to Qing Hu.

Qing Hu got up from the ground, his arm and thigh covered in blood, the blade wounds so deep his bones were visible. The previous fierce battle with Fierce Wolf had drained too much of Qing Hu’s strength. Already injured, he was somewhat unable to withstand Blood Wolf, who was well-rested and at peak combat power.

The Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves consisted of only seven members, yet each one possessed immense strength. Heavenly Gang War Generals are very strong, yet they still fell short in comparison. Though Qing Hu’s combat power was terrifying, at best he could only battle one of them. If they took turns in combat, he would be overwhelmed. Now, with six members of the Seven Wolves surrounding Qing Hu, if no one came to his rescue, he would undoubtedly be doomed in his current state. Even if someone did come, they would need to be exceptionally powerful, otherwise, they would just be delivering themselves to death.

In fact, Qing Hu’s combat power had already shocked Blood Wolf and the others. They hadn’t expected that among the Heavenly Gang War Generals, there could be someone with such formidable strength. How powerful, then, would the chief general Man Tian be? Even the boss Demon Wolf viewed him with great seriousness. It seemed they could no longer underestimate the Heavenly Gang War Generals.

Keep in mind, the Seven Wolves, comprising only seven individuals, had become the world’s strongest mercenary group, causing leaders of various nations great headaches. Their strength was undeniably powerful. Unchallenged before, they had seen Qing Hu battle hundreds of rounds against Fierce Wolf without defeat. Now, even with Blood Wolf attacking swiftly in peak condition, he hadn’t been able to instantly kill Qing Hu, which greatly shocked the six of them. They were even more determined to kill Qing Hu and leave no future threats.

Swish, swish, swish...

Blood Wolf didn’t say another word. He had only one goal: to kill Qing Hu, because when they left, Demon Wolf had indeed instructed him to fight quickly. This was only the beginning, and there were many other powerful fighters among the Heavenly Gang War Generals. If they couldn’t quickly kill them, they wouldn’t be able to carry out their next step of the massacre plan. It was Qing Hu’s show of strength that led Blood Wolf to attack despite Fierce Wolf’s animosity towards him.

Shadow Dual Blades were enormously powerful and the blade skill extremely fast. Qing Hu furrowed his brow; Blood Wolf’s use of the Shadow Dual Blades had reached a state of perfection. Such a technique was extremely difficult to master since everyone knew that a person’s left and right hands could not be equally agile unless honed through prolonged practice and persistent cultivation. Blood Wolf’s Shadow Dual Blades were lightning-fast, and the two blades coordinated seamlessly as if two Blood Wolves were battling Qing Hu. What kind of strength was this? His combat power had increased by more than double, and Qing Hu was having a hard time defending.

Clang, clang, clang... Pff!

A Shadow Blade punctured Qing Hu’s shoulder, blood gushing out. However, he seized the opportunity to stab Blood Wolf’s shoulder with the military dagger in his right hand. Blood Wolf grimaced in pain, surprised that Qing Hu still had the strength to counter-attack. Reacting immediately, Blood Wolf swung his blade towards Qing Hu’s neck, causing Qing Hu’s face to pale. The blade was ferocious and swift and even the sharp sword energy, not needing to make actual contact, could decapitate a person.

Clang!

Bang!

At the critical moment, Qing Hu drew the other military dagger and blocked Blood Wolf’s lethal blow but was kicked away in the chest. The urge to cough up blood surged as the kick landed, which would have been fatal for an ordinary person.

Just as Qing Hu was sent flying and still mid-air, Blood Wolf retracted his Shadow Dual Blades, surged forward at a lightning pace, leaped into the air, and continuously launched kicks.

Already severely injured, Qing Hu had done well to wound Blood Wolf, who was in top condition. This shocked Fierce Wolf, who was observing the battle. He had been very confident before, believing he would kill Qing Hu despite their matched abilities. But seeing Qing Hu’s power, Fierce Wolf wasn’t so sure anymore. He hadn’t expected Qing Hu to be this formidable.

Blood spurted mid-air as Qing Hu was sent flying backwards, and Blood Wolf followed in pursuit. Each kick hit Qing Hu’s vital areas. Already severely injured and now in this state, Qing Hu could no longer resist. Blood poured from his mouth as he fell heavily to the ground.

"Aah!"

Blood Wolf was also injured on the shoulder, blood flowing freely. This was a humiliation for him. Qing Hu had fought hundreds of rounds with Fierce Wolf, and despite being in peak state, he hadn’t managed to kill Qing Hu instantly and had even been wounded by him. How could he not be angry? This had never happened in his history of combat and would surely leave a scar of shame.

After a scream, Blood Wolf dived down, knees aiming heavily towards Qing Hu’s chest. The force was so great that if it connected, it would surely burst the heart, resulting in instant death.

Bang!

Blood Wolf’s knees hit the ground, and it was as if the earth itself trembled for a moment. Centered on him, within hundreds of meters in every direction, the ground collapsed and burst open. Such was the force of Blood Wolf’s knees hitting the ground, stirring up billowing clouds of dust. Fierce Wolf and the others frowned, eager to know whether Qing Hu had been killed. This man posed a significant threat to them, the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves.

"Is he dead?"

"No!"

At that moment, Blood Wolf emerged from the swirling dust, joining the other five members of the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves. His last all-out attack had missed Qing Hu. Given Qing Hu’s severely injured state, it was impossible for him to dodge and he was certain to die. Since Blood Wolf hadn’t felt any impact when his knees hit the ground, someone must have rescued Qing Hu.

"Sigh, a small team leader of the Heavenly Gang War Generals getting beaten up like this, that’s just sad!"

"Is that you...you...you actually made it through?"

Qing Hu turned his head and looked at the person behind him, feeling very surprised. This person was none other than Ye Tianchen. He didn’t expect, or rather, he never took Ye Tianchen seriously, not in the slightest. He hadn’t even contemplated the possibility of Ye Tianchen getting past the Ten Great Guardians. Now here stood Ye Tianchen, right before him, having saved him. Qing Hu was seeing Ye Tianchen in a new light.

"I think we should talk about this later. Considering your current predicament, shouldn’t we be thinking about escaping first?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Be careful, they are the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves. Each one of them is very strong. All ten of my Heavenly Gang War Generals died at their hands," Qing Hu said vehemently.

Ye Tianchen also frowned, his words light but his face bearing a smile. In reality, he had long since felt the power of these six people. It wasn’t just strong; it was very strong. He feared that if all six of them teamed up, there were few in the world who could defeat them. These six were indeed formidable; the fact that Qing Hu had held on until now was impressive.

As for why Ye Tianchen came to rescue Qing Hu, the reason was quite simple. Although they didn’t get along very well, they were both Chinese, and when faced with a foreign enemy, they had to stand united. Ye Tianchen had that much awareness. Moreover, he was curious to see just how strong these six Demon Mercenaries were. His Superpower Perception allowed him to sense their monstrously powerful auras. Being someone who loved challenges and thrills, he naturally wanted to fight.

"The Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves, huh?... Never heard of them..." Ye Tianchen said with a faint smile, looking at Fierce Wolf and the others.

Fierce Wolf furrowed his brow. He had yet to take action himself; those who fought Qing Hu were Fierce Wolf and Blood Wolf. Now, a young man had appeared, his face bearing a harmless smile, leaving them clueless about his strength. It seemed reinforcements had arrived, and they needed to resolve the battle quickly.

"Blood Wolf, continue killing your target. I’ll take care of this young man," said Fierce Wolf evenly.

"Alright!"

Blood Wolf immediately charged at Qing Hu again, quickly bringing out the Shadow Dual Blades in his hands, while Fierce Wolf walked slowly toward Ye Tianchen with a strange large sword in hand, not rushing forward. His sharp gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Tianchen and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily startled. He clenched his fists tightly as he watched Fierce Wolf approach. The man’s aura was surging; his murderous intent was intense. Clearly, he was a master among masters. Even Qing Hu was close to being killed by him, which showed just how formidable these six were. To face them carelessly was surely suicide.

"Tiger Team, you’re on your own now; I don’t have the time or energy to look after you," Ye Tianchen said with a smile to Qing Hu.

"Hmph, you’d better worry about how you’re going to save your own life, be careful..."

Before Qing Hu could finish speaking, he saw that Fierce Wolf had vanished from where he stood. By the time Qing Hu could focus again, he saw a huge sword slashing down directly toward Ye Tianchen’s head...(To be continued.
