Swoosh—
Only a blood-red afterimage remained where he had stood.
By the time he reappeared, Jiang Ye was already directly above Zhao Zonghan.
“Roar!!”
Anxious to protect its master, the white serpent opened its massive, bloody maw and spat out another large cloud of deep blue, freezing ice-flame.
However, the strike, wrapped in blood-red 【Killing Sword Intent】, had already come crashing down.
Rip!
The cloud of ice-flame was instantly sliced in two.
Without any resistance, the greatsword slammed heavily onto the solid ice armor the white serpent was so proud of.
Boom—!
The solid ice armor, several feet thick, instantly exploded into a flurry of ice shards!
With its momentum undiminished, the blood-red greatsword smashed squarely onto the white serpent's head.
Crack!
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of bones cracking and flesh exploding, nearly half of the white python's head blew apart. Its remaining body was sent flying, plowing a deep groove into the ground.
Just like that, Jiang Ye hoisted the greatsword onto his shoulder with one hand. Stepping through the blood, he walked toward Zhao Zonghan step by step.
His gaze was playful to the extreme.
“What's the matter? Weren't you laughing quite loudly just now?”
“Why aren't you smiling anymore?”
“Is it because you naturally don't like to smile?”
Jiang Ye casually swung his sword, and Zhao Zonghan's hand instantly exploded into a mist of blood.
“Aaaahhhh!”
His face turned deathly pale from the pain, and his pants were already completely soaked. He kicked his legs frantically, trying to scramble backward to get as far away from this “female Asura” as possible.
Jiang Ye glanced at the game panel in front of him. Having just one-shot that Tier Three Mid Stage giant wolf, the progress of the 【Demon of Luopo Village】 quest had actually only increased by 5%.
He couldn't help but frown.
Clearly, that thing was still just a random mob on the side of the road, not an important character.
At this life-or-death moment, Zhao Zonghan waved his hand again and released his last tamed beast, the Tier Two Peak demon beast, the 【Earth Violent Bear】.
Only by hiding behind the massive bear did he manage to regain a sliver of security.
Immediately after, he shrieked toward the flying vessel in midair:
“Lord Envoy, save me!!”
Jiang Ye was utterly speechless.
What the hell? How many trump cards are hidden inside that piece-of-shit flying vessel?
Are you playing nesting dolls here?
He didn't have the patience to wait for the other party to reveal them one by one.
Swoosh!
Before there could be any reaction from the flying vessel, Jiang Ye raised his hand and slashed out a blood-red sword qi.
It cleanly sliced the flying vessel hovering in midair in two.
Bang—!
Accompanied by an ear-splitting explosion, the entire flying vessel blew apart in midair.
From within the flames, three figures—two black and one white—leaped out at high speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three heavy thuds resounded as they landed in front of everyone.
The white figure was indeed that snow-white giant wolf.
After landing, it didn't roar. It merely tilted its head slightly, staring at Jiang Ye with a playful look in its eyes, as if examining an amusing toy.
As for the two black figures, they were burly men clad in loose, large black robes.
Both were extremely muscular, standing well over two meters tall.
Just by standing there, a tyrannical aura wafted from them.
Thud.
One of the black-robed men stepped forward. The muscles all over his body ballooned wildly like they were being inflated, stretching his black robe to its limits.
The crowd from Sword Peak was utterly horrified.
Such terrifying blood vitality... Could he be a body cultivator of the Golden Body Realm?!
Before anyone could figure it out, the ground beneath the burly man's feet suddenly exploded!
Leaving only two deep craters behind, the burly man's massive body tore through the air and thrust right in front of Jiang Ye, swinging a fist the size of a clay pot straight at her head!
Clang!
The heavy, powerful blow was easily blocked by Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.
Through the pulled-down hood, he could clearly see a pair of blood-red pupils.
Seeing that his strike had failed, the burly man let out a low growl from his throat.
The veins on his arms bulged like twisting dragons as they swelled once more!
Immediately after, a classic "Ora Ora Ora" barrage of punches rained down like a torrential storm.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The only response he received was the dense sound of clashing metal.
At first, the burly man thought the young girl was also a pure body cultivator, which was why her strength was sufficient to contend with his.
But when his final punch landed, his entire body suddenly stiffened.
As if the young girl had anticipated this long ago, the greatsword swept across without the slightest hint of politeness!
Bang—!
The blood-red greatsword slammed heavily against his head.
The burly man was sent flying sideways, rolling on the ground several times before coming to a halt.
The black cloak draped over him was thrown off.
Lying on the ground, he shook his head hard and slowly stood up.
Without the hood's concealment, the burly man revealed a face that was mostly covered by a thick white beard.
Even at the open collar of his clothes, a large patch of thick, white chest hair was visible.
Though his head was covered in blood, his blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Ye, looking exceptionally ferocious.
Jiang Ye leaned on his sword with one hand, a mocking curve playing on the corner of his mouth.
“You already look like this, and you're still trying to act tough?”
The crowd from Sword Peak behind him was taken aback.
They thought to themselves: Does this burly man have some sort of hidden identity?
“Very well, human.”
“You have successfully angered me.”
The burly man spoke, his voice as coarse as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing violently together.
He slowly raised both hands, his ten fingers clawing fiercely into his own jaw like iron hooks.
Riiiiip—!
Accompanied by a scalp-numbing tearing sound, the burly man actually tore off his own "face skin" by force!
Immediately after, a white light flashed.
His bones cracked and popped, and his body swelled once more.
His full white beard mutated and grew, and snow-white wolf fur covered his jaw and neck. Even his chest was covered in a thick layer of white fur.
His eyes suddenly constricted into blood-red vertical slits, his snout protruded into a ferocious wolf muzzle, and sharp claws burst from his fingertips.
A tyrannical demonic energy soared into the sky.
His aura was rapidly approaching the Tier Three Peak!
The crowd from Sword Peak was dumbfounded, their scalps tingling. This was actually a half-human, half-demon "wolf-tribe" demon!
Jiang Ye stroked his chin, his tone filled with interest:
“Oh, the 'furry' update is rolling out pretty fast, huh? To think you'd make an appearance so early.”
In his mind, Bai Zhirou was completely dumbfounded.
She had never seen such an abstract creature in her life. Her voice trembled as she asked:
“Se... Senior, what on earth is that monster?”
Jiang Ye casually replied:
“Just a half-demon, human-bodied hybrid, that's all.”
Seeing this, the other black-robed man beside him stopped pretending as well. He directly tore off his own "face skin" with a backhand sweep.
His body and bones shifted, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a grey-furred werewolf.
The leading white-furred werewolf bared his fangs and spoke ferociously:
“Ignorant human, you will pay the price for your arrogance.”
Jiang Ye picked his ear and interrupted mercilessly:
“Alright, stop barking. You just learned to speak a few words of human language, and look how smug you are.”
Werewolves hated being called dogs more than anything in their lives. They clearly possessed noble wolf blood!
Boom!
In an instant, their blood-red vertical pupils erupted with crimson light.
Carrying a terrifying aura, the two wolves pounced fiercely at Jiang Ye from the left and right.
Their sharp claws tore frantically at Jiang Ye.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The crisp, dense sound of clashing metal echoed across the field once more!
The web-like barrage of claws from the two werewolves was actually completely blocked.
Once Jiang Ye figured out their basic patterns, he seized the moment the grey-furred werewolf stiffened.
【Sword Cleaving Mountains and Rivers】!!
A massive energy sword, condensed with dense blood-light, came crashing down on the grey-furred werewolf's head.
Although the grey-furred werewolf was only stiffened for an instant, there was no time to dodge.
His eyes instantly turned blood-red as he forcibly activated 【Berserk】.
His sharp claws grew by half a foot, desperately blocking in front of him.
Crack!
But they only held out for a brief moment before the claws shattered inch by inch.
The blood-red energy sword grazed past its shoulder and slashed down.
With a squelch, its right arm was severed completely at the root!
The Killing Sword Intent clung to the wound, frantically eroding the flesh and making a sizzling, burning sound.
The grey-furred werewolf shrieked in agonizing pain.
However, after delivering this devastating strike, Jiang Ye did not pursue to finish it off.
He only felt his temples throbbing violently, his vision darkening in waves.
The consumption of a Grand Achievement level 【Killing Sword Intent】 on his divine sense and physical body was simply too terrifying.
He looked down to see that the skin beneath his white clothes had already begun to quietly crack, oozing tiny beads of blood.
