Faced with the sudden appearance of a human, the Golden Wind Wolf, as the alpha wolf, did not show any signs of fear. Instead, it opened its huge, bloody mouth, revealing a pair of sinister, sharp fangs, and pounced directly at Ling Xiao.
After battling eight low-tier Second Order Wind Wolves, the Golden Wolf King was at its weakest, and its speed was much slower than before.
Ling Xiao laughed, "Looks like you won't know what to do if I don't teach you a lesson."
Ling Xiao could tell that this Golden Wolf King was a mutated Three-Eyed Wind Wolf, and it would definitely grow into a terrifying high-tier Wolf King in the future. It would be a great help to him, and he had an unprecedented desire to land this Golden Wolf King as a mount.
Right now, this Golden Wind Wolf was only at high-tier Second Order, and had yet to reach the Third Order stage of intelligence. However, Ling Xiao believed that it already possessed intelligence, and as long as he displayed enough strength to defeat it, he would definitely be able to subdue it. Just like the two mid-tier Second Order Black Bears he had met a few days ago, as long as he displayed enough sincerity, he would be able to gain their trust.
Ling Xiao knew that he would not be as strong as this Wolf King in a head-on fight, so he could only rely on speed.
Now that the Wolf King was not injured, Ling Xiao would not dare to stroke its whiskers even if he had a hundred guts. Whether it was in terms of speed or strength, Ling Xiao and the Wolf King were too far apart. Right now, Ling Xiao knew that the Wolf King was at its weakest, and if he did not subdue it now, he might not have the chance in the future.
Ling Xiao spread his body, dodging the Wolf King's pounce, and swung the hilt of his blade at the Wolf King.
Awooo!
The Wolf King was attacked once more, and it howled in pain.
It felt as if its dignity as a Wolf King had been insulted. This damned human actually dared to hit it when it was down.
The Wolf King adjusted its body and opened its bloody mouth, sending a bolt of golden light towards Ling Xiao like lightning.
"Damn, it's still so fierce!" Ling Xiao cried out, leaping into the air to avoid the attack. The Silver Ghost Blood Blade in his hand continued to smash at the wounds on the Wolf King's body.
The newly crowned Golden Wind Wolf was really unlucky!
It had just successfully seized the throne, but now it was being slashed by an ordinary human. It could not help but arouse its most primitive ferocity.
It took a hit, and then used its head to hit Ling Xiao's chest.
Instantly, Ling Xiao flew out like a cannonball, directly crashing into a large tree trunk before stopping.
The wolf king was even more intelligent. It took advantage of the situation and pounced forward again. Its sharp claws went straight for Ling Xiao's face.
"Fuck, you're forcing me to injure you." Ling Xiao had only just crawled up when he saw the claw coming at him. He had no choice but to get serious, directly slashing out with his blade.
Puff!
The wolf paw was slashed by Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao was forced back a few steps. The Wolf King retracted its paw in pain and kept licking its injured front paw.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao thought to himself, "It looks like I'll have to bleed it a bit more before it'll listen." Making up his mind, he sheathed his blade and unsheathed the Blue Crystal Sword.
He leaned forward quickly, sword light shining brightly.
"Sword Trace!" Countless sword images swept towards the Wolf King.
The Wolf King opened its mouth to unleash another elemental attack, but unfortunately, its third eye had used up all of its energy. It had just barely managed to use it once, and now it could no longer use any elemental attacks. It could only turn and run.
"You want to run? It won't be that easy!" Ling Xiao saw through the Wolf King's intentions and increased his speed.
The sword light still managed to reach the wolf's tail, directly cutting it off.
"Wuuuuu!"
The Wolf King howled in grief.
At that moment, three Wind Wolves ran out of the cave and ran directly to the Wolf King, licking its wounds.
It was obvious at a glance that these three Wind Wolves were the Wolf King's concubines.
These three Wind Wolves were about two meters long, and should only be at the peak of the first level. Ling Xiao wasn't afraid of them, but he knew that if he didn't finish the battle quickly, it would be troublesome if the Wolf King summoned more wolves.
Before the three Wind Wolves could attack, Ling Xiao took the initiative to attack.
This time, Ling Xiao didn't hold back at all.
The three Wind Wolves sensed the danger and quickly dodged.
Wind Wolves were born with the wind attribute, so they were naturally faster than most Spirit Beasts.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless after failing to gain the upper hand. He drew out the Silver Ghost Blood Saber again and joined the sword and saber together. He launched the strongest move he could use at the moment, "Shadowless Saber, Traceless Sword" and attacked the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was still licking its severed tail. To a wolf, this was its proudest and proudest symbol. Now that it was severed, how could it not be sad?
The Wolf King didn't have time to react and took the full brunt of Ling Xiao's attack. Its entire body was sent flying, and its golden fur was cut off in many places. There were more than ten wounds on its body, and it didn't even have the strength to crawl back up.
Ling Xiao wasn't in a good state either. Although he'd managed to hit the Wolf King, the three Wind Wolves had clawed at his back. Several bloody wounds appeared on his body, and blood flowed freely.
"Hiss!"
Ling Xiao's face contorted as he sucked in a breath of cold air. If it weren't for the fact that he'd cultivated the Five Transformations of Vajra, which made him especially resistant to pain, he would have collapsed by now.
The three Wind Wolves' hatred for Ling Xiao grew when they saw the Wolf King howling. They once again pounced at Ling Xiao, their mouths wide open as if they wanted to eat Ling Xiao alive.
"This young master will send you on your way together!" Ling Xiao endured the pain and swung his sword once more.
One silver and one blue, two streaks of light cut into the three Wind Wolves' mouths.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The three Wind Wolves were all killed by Ling Xiao's sword and saber.
Ling Xiao didn't even look at the three dead Wind Wolves. He quickly swallowed two pills and then strode over to the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was covered in wounds, and there were traces of its own blood all around it. Even so, when it saw Ling Xiao walk over, it still glared at him fiercely. Its eyes were filled with unwillingness, as if it was saying, "If I hadn't been injured, how could I have been injured by a damned human like you?"
"Surrender to me, or die?" Ling Xiao walked over to the Wolf King and asked coldly.
The Wolf King growled and then tried to get up to fight back. Unfortunately, after standing up a little, it fell back down.
"Looks like you'll have to suffer a bit more," Ling Xiao said. He put away his sword and clenched his fists, smashing the Wolf King's wounds.
"Will you surrender or not?"
"Will you surrender or not?"
… …
What a tragedy for the Wolf King!
The wounds all over its body were still bleeding, and it was constantly being bombarded. Its body kept twisting, and its mouth kept screaming "Wu … Wu …"
Ling Xiao only stopped after a long while. He stared at the Wolf King and asked, "Will you surrender or not?"
This time, the Wolf King simply closed its eyes, as if telling Ling Xiao, "If you want me to surrender, then I'd rather die."
"Good, you have guts." Ling Xiao gave the Wolf King a thumbs up and then pulled out his blue crystal sword. "This young master will grant you your wish. I'll let you suffer a thousand cuts before you die. Let's see if you can handle it."
Ling Xiao swung his sword, and a piece of wolf meat flew out.
Awooo!
The Wolf King instantly opened its eyes and let out a pained howl.
However, Ling Xiao didn't have the slightest bit of mercy. He swung his sword again, and another piece of wolf meat flew out.
"One last chance, will you surrender or not?" Ling Xiao stabbed his sword into the Wolf King's front paw and asked for the last time.
Ling Xiao knew that these Spirit Beasts were wild and hard to tame. Furthermore, they hadn't reached the third level yet, so they wouldn't be able to understand him. Thus, he didn't have the patience to waste any more time. If he attracted the attention of the Wolf King, he'd be in trouble!
This time, the Wolf King didn't dare to raise its proud head. Instead, it revealed a timid expression and opened its mouth slightly.
Ling Xiao thought that the Wolf King was making a final attack and was about to kill it.
Suddenly, he saw that what the Wolf King spat out wasn't an attack, but a shining Beast Core the size of half a fist.
"This … this is the legendary Beast Core of a Spirit Beast. But, isn't it something that only third level Spirit Beasts can condense?" Ling Xiao stared blankly at the Beast Core floating in front of him as he muttered to himself.
According to the records, most first to second level Spirit Beasts didn't have a Beast Core. Only third level Spirit Beasts could condense a Beast Core. Once a Beast Core was formed, it would begin to gain intelligence and understand how to swallow the aura of heaven and earth, making it easier for them to cultivate.
Now, this Wolf King was only at the high second level, but it was able to condense a Beast Core. How could this not shock Ling Xiao?
"Could it be that this variant Three Eyed Wind Wolf is a high level Spirit Beast?" Ling Xiao wondered.
Normally, Spirit Beasts would only condense a Beast Core at the third level, but Spirit Beasts were also divided into different levels. Some high level Spirit Beasts, such as the legendary Dragon and Phoenix Divine Beasts … these Spirit Beasts were born with a Beast Core. These Spirit Beasts belonged to the highest level of Spirit Beasts. They evolved faster than ordinary Spirit Beasts, and their growth was also the reason why they were the strongest.
"Who cares, I'll take it first." Ling Xiao's gaze became heated. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Wolf King's Beast Core.
Once the Beast Core was stained with a human's blood, the Spirit Beast would follow the human for life and become the human's most loyal Beast Slave. If the human died, the Spirit Beast would definitely not survive. But if the Spirit Beast died, the human would not be affected. This was the most common method of signing a contract between master and servant in the Spirit Xuan Continent.
Of course, in the future, when the relationship between the human and the Spirit Beast became very good, he could also help the Spirit Beast dissolve this contract. He only needed to make the Spirit Beast spit out the Beast Core and drip another drop of blood onto it to offset each other.
After Ling Xiao dripped his blood onto the Beast Core, an indescribable feeling surged into his mind. It was as if he had formed some kind of intimate relationship with the Wolf King in an instant.
The Wolf King slowly swallowed the Beast Core, and its eyes looked at Ling Xiao. There was no longer any fierceness in them, only a pitiful, human-like light.
"Respected Master."
Such a question actually appeared in Ling Xiao's mind.
Ling Xiao was startled at first, but then he looked at the Wolf King and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, Master." The Wolf King nodded its head and transmitted its thoughts once again.
"Damn, this is too cool! We can actually talk wirelessly!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in delight.
"Master, don't be too happy just yet. If you don't heal me, I'll die."
"Oh, my dear Xiao Jin, you have to hold on. I went through a lot of trouble to subdue you, so you have to hold on. I'll heal you right now."
