"Hmm? Interesting. It seems I've met a worthy opponent today! But that's fine; it's a good chance to stretch my limbs! Since that's the case, I definitely won't let you off easily!" Liu Chen thought to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Seeing that the newcomer was the illustrious Wolf Elder, a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart. One must know that this Wolf Elder was a formidable character; not only was his strength extraordinary, but he also possessed a Thieving Heaven Inheritance.
However, although Liu Chen had full confidence in his own strength and believed it was enough to defeat the person before him, he was truly uncertain about whether he could successfully keep the opponent from escaping.
After all, for an expert like Wolf Elder, once he sensed the situation was unfavorable, escaping would be as easy as turning over a hand. This kind of situation was exactly the most headache-inducing part of battles between Human Immortals.
But then again, taking the initiative to seek out Wolf Elder for a duel actually had another layer of deeper meaning. Liu Chen hadn't come this time solely to take the other's life; he was more interested in gaining some benefits from him through this contest. For instance, if his luck was good enough, he might even seize his Legacy memories.
Even so, Liu Chen did not strike directly. Instead, he released the desolate beasts from within the Cloud Pavilion to harass him, while he hid off to the side waiting for an opportunity.
"Woof woof!" Accompanied by deafening barks, a giant dog as massive as a small mountain suddenly appeared, pouncing directly toward the Human Immortal Wolf Elder who had arrived here with astonishing speed.
This desolate beast was called a Star Desolate Dog. Its body was incomparably huge, and its fur shone with the dazzling light of a galaxy. During a fierce battle, it was even more majestic and fierce; every pounce and swing of its sharp claws felt as unstoppable as a falling comet.
Facing such a ferocious opponent, Wolf Elder showed no fear. Relying on his superb skills, he quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the Star Desolate Dog's sharp offensive. When he saw clearly that this giant creature was actually a Star Desolate Dog, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
As a Human Immortal proficient in Transformation Path, Wolf Elder's specialty was transforming into various wolf forms. The Star Desolate Dog he encountered now was quite similar to a wolf; if he could tame it and bring it back to his blessed land for breeding, he might even have a chance to comprehend a brand-new Transformation Path killer move from it!
Faster than words can say, a light shout came from Wolf Elder's mouth: "Immortal Path Killer Move: Fragrant Shaman Shadow Carved Wolf!"
In an instant, his entire body erupted with dazzling brilliance. Immediately after, he crouched on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a small wild wolf that was hairless all over, looking exactly as if it were carved from wood.
This small wolf's movements were extremely nimble, weaving through the gaps in the Star Desolate Dog's attacks with ease and leisure.
Wolf Elder was intent on capturing this Star Desolate Dog alive, so he did not use those lethal and ruthless moves. Instead, he chose a more stable and safe way to deal with the situation—he tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and let out a world-shaking wolf howl.
That sound was like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, like a torrent sweeping in all directions, and like a clap of thunder deafening the ears... its power was simply beyond imagination! And just as this earth-shattering wolf howl resounded through the clouds, something unexpected happened: the originally fierce and aggressive Star Desolate Dog suddenly seemed to have been hit by a freezing spell, standing stiffly on the spot without moving an inch, appearing to have completely lost its ability to resist out of fear.
At the same time, Liu Chen, who had been hiding in the shadows observing the situation, saw that the timing was right and immediately cast without hesitation: "Immortal Path Killer Move: Star Shield."
At this time, he had already used the immortal gu'Small' to successfully change his form to the size of a thumb, and had silently sneaked onto the top of the Star Desolate Dog's head.
As Liu Chen's thought moved, a powerful surge of Star Power immediately gushed out, quickly gathering on the surface of the Star Desolate Dog's body to form a layer of dazzling starlight shield. This layer of shield was like an indestructible city wall, steadily blocking the sharp offensive Wolf Elder had just launched.
Not only that, Liu Chen also used precise control over the Star Desolate Dog to make it temporarily stop all movements and fall into a static state. The purpose of doing this was only one: to make Wolf Elder mistakenly believe his opponent was already powerless to fight back, so he could continue his attack with confidence and boldness.
As expected, seeing the Star Desolate Dog intimidated by his wolf howl just now, Wolf Elder couldn't help but feel secret joy, thinking victory was in sight. He prepared to take this Star Desolate Dog into his immortal aperture.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Intercept Luck!"
An unperceivable invisible blade appeared out of thin air like a ghost, whistling straight toward the top of Wolf Elder's head. These blades were extremely fast, reaching their destination in the blink of an eye, then ruthlessly slashing toward the Heavenly Wolf Luck above Wolf Elder's head.
In an instant, the Heavenly Wolf Luck above his head was forcibly sliced by a large chunk, causing that Heavenly Wolf Luck to immediately become blind and lame.
Just as Wolf Elder was preparing to open his immortal aperture, Liu Chen seized the opportunity and unhesitatingly unleashed a Theft Path killer move.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Formless Hand!"
In an instant, countless invisible palms surged out like a tide, pouncing toward Wolf Elder's immortal aperture in a sky-covering manner. These Formless Hands seemed to possess life, nimbly and rapidly drilling into Wolf Elder's immortal aperture.
"Dammit! You dare to launch a sneak attack!" Wolf Elder looked in shock at the Formless Hands flying all over the sky and couldn't help but burst into curses. He knew full well that if he didn't take measures in time, his immortal aperture might be occupied by these terrifying Formless Hands.
Thus, he hurriedly tried to close the entrance to his immortal aperture, but by then, it was already too late.
However, Wolf Elder had previously been lucky enough to obtain a precious Thieving Heaven Inheritance, which recorded in detail the methods for stealing others' immortal gu. Although this Legacy did not mention countermeasures for the Formless Hand, relying on his years of accumulated experience and sharp intuition, he still made some precautions in advance. He acted decisively, driving a swarm of Gu Worms from his immortal aperture toward those Formless Hands.
Faster than words can say, the Formless Hands quickly captured the flying Gu Worms and clenched tightly into fists.
Wolf Elder utilized the moment the Formless Hands grabbed the Gu Worms to suddenly exert force and shatter the Formless Hands. As the Formless Hands broke apart, the originally trapped Gu Worms were able to regain their freedom, successfully escaping the restraint of the Formless Hands.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Backstab Sneak Attack!"
One gold and one black dazzling light suddenly emerged from Liu Chen's hands. Those gold and black lights had transformed into two incomparably sharp blades, and Liu Chen himself appeared behind the giant wolf transformed by Wolf Elder with the speed of a ghost!
In a flash, Liu Chen's figure flickered, and in the next moment, he had already landed steadily on the giant wolf's broad and solid back.
Immediately following, he swung the twin swords in his hands without hesitation, slashing fiercely toward the defenseless Wolf Elder beneath him! With a dull 'puchi' sound, the light and shadow twin swords in Liu Chen's hands actually penetrated Wolf Elder's iron-hard fur and bones with ease, sinking all the way to the hilt!
The desolate beast wolf that Wolf Elder had transformed into, pinned to the ground and unable to move, suddenly shuddered all over, then actually forcibly threw Liu Chen off its back!
At the same time, an astonishingly powerful force gushed out from within Wolf Elder's body and quickly gathered onto its sharp, curved wolf claws. In an instant, the originally pitch-black wolf claws became entirely cyan-green, with wisps of eerie Aura swirling and circling above them.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Soul-Scattering Iron Claws."
He launched a frenzy of wild scratches at Liu Chen. Under internal and external troubles, Wolf Elder no longer intended to fight to the death here and prepared to flee directly to regroup with his fellow Human Immortals.
