The dagger in his hand was brought by Tian Jihong from home. It was also one of the martial arts weapons that he and his brother dug out in the basement yesterday. In fact, according to Tianjihong's habits, he prefers heavy weapons such as swords and axes, but obviously these weapons are too bulky and are obviously not suitable for taking into the mountains before he finds a suitable method of carrying them. Therefore, the only thing he packed this time was two light daggers. Tianjihong planned to use the spiritual power he gained from practicing to open the sachet left by his father after taking time out from the exam today, and then he You can use this space container to carry other weapons when going out.
Although the dagger in his hand is not an orthodox weapon used by monks, after some polishing by Tianjihong, it is much better than usual during practice. Judging from the material, it is definitely not inferior to many sharp blades in the world. I saw Tianjihong leaping up and rushing straight towards Dongyun Wolf's back. At this time, he had already aimed his dagger at the thick fur on the former's neck.
In a real battle, he would not show any mercy. Two sides with similar strength would definitely fight with their lives. At this time, Tianjihong would not naively choose to collide with his opponent head-on. If he had such an opportunity to attack from behind, he would definitely seize it. This attack would be a fatal blow; according to Tianjihong's intuition, with this east-luck wolf His strength will definitely not fall to his first move so easily.
Sure enough, Tian Jihong's guess came true. In fact, Dong Yunlang, who seemed a little embarrassed when he landed in the air, had actually been covering the area around him with his soul consciousness, trying to lock the opponent's position. Therefore, even with the cover of diffuse smoke and dust, Tianjihong was still caught by his opponent in advance when he took off and leaped towards the wolf's back. Of course, the latter would not let Tian Jihong get what he wanted, so when he landed on the ground, he used his forelimbs to punch the ground deeply. In an instant, he kicked his hind legs upside down, almost hitting Tian Jihong's chest.
Like the Dongyun Wolf who had just soared down, Tianjihong, who was still in the air, had difficulty adjusting his position in time to change his landing point. Fortunately, his tense nerves allowed him to react in time under the attack of the giant wolf. Tianjihong, who had his hands crossed to protect his chest, finally only collided with the huge paw. He even avoided the sharp claws at the front and stabbed the dagger into the back of the giant wolf's paw with a backhand. The east-luck wolf then let out a howl of pain, quickly retracted its kicked hind legs, and rolled to stabilize its center of gravity. Upon closer inspection, its left hind paw was soaked in the smelly black blood.
However, Tianjihong, who was knocked away by the huge force, did not fare much better. In a hurry, he mobilized his spiritual power to protect his chest firmly, and it did have a certain effect, so he didn't break a few ribs in the first fight. However, the powerful aftermath of the collision still made Tianjihong's chest feel distressed. It took nearly half a minute after he was ejected to the ground before he could adjust the energy and blood boiling in his dantian. Neither side gained any advantage during this back and forth, and both of them gained a better understanding of their opponent's strength.
Looking back at his bloody soles, the ferocious look in the Dongyun Wolf's eyes became even more intense. With his bloody mouth open, he looked up to the sky and roared in great pain. His right paw was deeply embedded in his flesh and blood. The dagger flew out, leaving a pool of dark red blood on the ground.
There is naturally a reason why it dares to do this. Tianjihong on the opposite side was surprised to find that, driven by the sudden surge of spiritual power around the giant wolf, the wound on the sole of the foot that had just been nearly pierced was actually healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, Dong Yun Lang has a unique secret method of healing, which can heal himself through the movement of spiritual power. In this way, it would be impossible for Tianjihong to rely on external injuries to make Dong Yun Wolf lose its combat effectiveness.
Seeing this scene, Tian Jihong knew that he could not delay it any longer. The other party could continuously recover his injuries through spiritual power, while he would gradually weaken in the battle. If he continued to consume, he would only suffer the loss. Although there was a healing elixir in his package, the external items would eventually be used up. During the two days of fighting, he had already used up nearly half of the ointment given by his master. Today's battle with the east-luck wolf is just the beginning of the mission. Considering the dangers that may be encountered in the future, Tianjihong will not choose to waste too much time and materials with the opponent in front of him.
So Tianjihong, who stood back up and adjusted his breathing, chose to take action first in the second round. After some testing, he was able to roughly understand that the Dong Yun Wolf in front of him was a balanced practitioner of strength and speed. He was as strong as himself in both aspects, and his weakness was probably in his moves.
Although the opponent has been hiding his natural beast skills, Tianjihong is still not sure about the opponent's follow-up methods; but judging from the current situation, the Dongyun Wolf's huge body obviously limits its flexibility of movement. In fact, he does not need to compete head-on with his opponent in what he is good at. He only needs to stay close to him and constantly change angles to launch tricky attacks. It is difficult for the giant wolf's clumsy body to keep up with the rhythm of his attacks. Once the opponent turns around, there is a flaw. , you have an opportunity to accurately find the opponent's key point.
At this time, Tian Jihong took out the second dagger from his sleeve and chose the same method as the Rabbit and Rat King he met yesterday. He started pacing back and forth one or two meters away from the east luck wolf, and from time to time he would He makes tentative moves like a ghost, and uses continuous offensives to make his opponents tired of dealing with them, while he keeps looking for the opportunity to complete the killing blow from the sidelines.
This move is indeed effective. Sure enough, after a few minutes of dealing with it, Dong Yunlang was able to evade the opponent's elusive attack in time by relying on the detection of soul consciousness at first. However, as Tianji Hong's surrounding speed became faster and faster, Gradually, Dong Yunlang began to be unable to keep up with the rhythm. Even though it can rely on its soul consciousness to lock the opponent's position in advance, its bulky body makes it difficult for it to make appropriate responses in time. Under Tianjihong's uninterrupted offensive, fine scars began to appear between the gray-black fur.
Dong Yunlang also knows that continuing like this is definitely not the answer. Healing his own injuries also requires the consumption of spiritual power, and it is impossible to continue indefinitely. If the current situation of being passively beaten is maintained, as the wounds on one's body become more and more dense, the more energy it will take to heal the wounds while distracted. When the opponent is inferior to Tianjihong in terms of skill, all the opponent has to do is not to be caught by it, and wait for it to show its flaws, so that the battle can be ended easily. At this time, Dongyun Wolf, who had fallen into Tianjihong's rhythm, finally couldn't help but activate his beast skills when he had no better way to deal with it.
Once again, he locked the position of Tianjihong who came out from the right side. This time Dong Yunlang, who was planning a killing move, cunningly pretended to fall on his side and rolled to the ground, exposing the vital part of his throat to Tianjihong who was running at a high speed. Location. Seeing that his opponent suddenly seemed to be confused, Tian Jihong was also a little alert subconsciously. He couldn't help but wonder how he was so lucky to break through the opponent's defense so easily. However, Tianjihong definitely couldn't miss the great opportunity in front of him, so while he was wary of his opponent changing his moves, he suddenly increased his speed and swung his dagger towards Dong Yun Lang's throat, vowing to kill the opponent with one blow.
At this moment, a fierce light suddenly appeared in the eyes of Dong Yun Lang who had fallen to the ground. Suddenly, the sharp claw at the top of his left forelimb suddenly grew nearly three inches in length, and the spiritual power that had been accumulated for a long time exploded immediately. At the moment when it suddenly waved its claws, Tianjihong, who was running from a distance, felt dizzy. At this time, the surrounding rocks seemed to be twisting and shaking, and he could only vaguely see four lines of light on the surface platform in the distance. The two-foot-wide crack is extending towards itself at an extremely fast speed, and its powerful destructive force seems to be cutting the solid granite platform into several sections.
Fortunately, Tianjihong was prepared for the giant wolf's sudden attack. At the critical moment, he pushed against the discomfort in his head and kicked off his legs to jump into the air. Tianjihong, who hastily mobilized less than half of his strength, only flew more than one meter high in the air, but this was still enough to avoid the approaching offensive from the ground.
He landed in embarrassment again and still couldn't get rid of the dizziness in his head. He almost fell into the mud. Looking back for a moment, he vaguely saw that the place where he had just stood had been replaced by several ravines half a man deep. . Fortunately, the rocks here are thick enough to withstand the force of this beast's technique, otherwise the entire platform would be in danger of collapsing with just this claw.
The beast skill released by Dong Yun Wolf is called [Earth Splitting Claw], which is a very common native skill of this race. This move uses spiritual power to drive the sharp claws to strike the ground vertically, which can produce powerful lethality in an instant. Not only can it simulate the effect of releasing spiritual power, releasing a sharp shock wave to distant opponents to cause damage, but it can also produce violent vibrations on the surrounding ground, giving the opponent a dizzy effect and creating conditions for subsequent attacks.
In fact, among the martial arts created by monks, there is also a similar sword skill [Earthquake Slash]. It is said that this martial skill is imitated by the Earth-splitting Claw of the Dongyun Wolf Clan. It can also cause powerful damage and can also cause Opponent's dizziness. The only difference is that this martial art uses heavy weapons such as machetes. Although the attack range is not as good as the Dongyun Wolf's four claws, its single-point destructive power surpasses the former. , this martial skill can be regarded as a killing move commonly used by monks who are good at using swords in the mainland.
Seeing that the attack failed, the giant wolf did not stop there. In fact, it had already understood from the previous test that this seemingly inconspicuous little guy was probably not inferior to him in strength. Although it used its killing move at this time, it did not expect this move to be able to deal with Tianjihong, who was already taking the initiative. At most, it was just to see if it could cause some damage to the opponent. Unfortunately, Tianjihong's timely dodge gave way. This expectation also came to naught. Fortunately, the stun effect caused by the beast technique still took effect. Taking advantage of the opponent's limited vision and reduced perception, Dongyun Wolf certainly knew that this was the best time to launch a counterattack and reverse the situation.
