Chapter 222 Killing the Beast King
After successfully landing a blow, Song Chen immediately retreated, leaping onto a sloping ice rock in the distance, his Heavenly Blade held horizontally in front of him.
This sneak attack completely crippled Sirius's leg.
It used its three legs to forcefully turn over and stand up, then turned its head and spewed an extremely cold breath at Song Chen.
A beam of icy blue light swept across the ice rock forest, freezing several ice rocks along the way into ice sculptures before shattering them.
Song Chen was no longer in the same spot before it turned its head; Fuyao pushed him around to the side.
He stood to the left of the giant wolf and laughed, "Have you sprayed enough? If you've sprayed enough, it's my turn."
The sixth-tier wolf's pupils burned with rage and excruciating pain. It pounced on him with its three legs, still moving very fast.
With its sixth-tier vitality, the impact of losing a hind leg on straight-line sprint speed is not as significant as one might imagine.
However, their turning ability is lost. The Sirius Clan's most proficient techniques—lateral weaving, sudden stops and changes of direction, and alternating force exerted by all four claws—all rely on the coordination of all four legs.
Without its right hind leg, it can only run in a straight line. When turning, it has to brace itself with its front paws, causing its body to tilt to the side to an extreme degree.
Song Chen leaped off the ice rock and charged straight at it.
Just as the claws were about to strike his face, he swerved sharply, passing through the giant wolf's blind spot on the left.
The Heavenly Blade slashed horizontally the instant it passed through, cutting a deep, bone-revealing wound at the left forearm wrist joint.
The sixth-tier wolf immediately turned its head and bit him, but its teeth only crushed the wind trail he left behind.
At this moment, relying on his master-level movement skills, Song Chen appeared behind it and stabbed into the left hind thigh muscle with a backhand. The Nine Heavens Thunder flowed into the blade and exploded inside the thigh.
The giant wolf's left hind leg suddenly buckled, and it almost fell to the ground again.
It swept its tail wildly, shattering two ice rocks.
Song Chen slid out from the gap between its tail and the ground, lightly touched the ground with its toes, and then swept back.
His playing style was very clear: he focused on that broken leg.
Each time the giant wolf turned around, the broken end of its right hind leg poked at the ice, causing a slight lag in its movements due to the intense pain.
In the eyes of those who see through illusion, these delays are gaps.
Every strike landed on his leg, every strike was accompanied by a bolt of lightning from the heavens.
He wasn't in a hurry; he sharpened the blade one cut at a time.
The sixth-tier Sirius's movements became increasingly slow. Its left foreleg had been slashed three times, and the ligaments in its wrist joint had been severed, causing it to limp.
His left hind leg was slashed four times and struck by two lightning bolts, reducing his power to push off the ground by half.
It had more than a dozen knife wounds of varying sizes on its body, and blood kept gushing out from the broken leg and the knife wounds, leaving an ever-widening blood trail on the ice.
But it did not collapse; its sixth-order vitality was like an absurdly thick wall.
It was still standing on three and a half legs, spewing thick white breaths from its mouth. The rage in its amber pupils had been replaced by something colder; it was beginning to realize that it might die here.
He was slowly worn down to death by a fifth-tier human.
It hissed, "Human, who are you?"
Song Chen did not answer. Fuyao started up again, this time from the front.
The sixth-tier wolf used its last bit of strength to open its mouth and bite him, but Song Chen turned to the side just before its teeth closed, positioning himself directly below the giant wolf's head, in the triangular soft area between its jaw and throat.
Holding the Heavenly Blade upside down, gripping the hilt with both hands, all the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder and the Eight Slashes Blade Intent are compressed into the tip of the blade. With one strike, the blade pierces through the jaw, penetrates the root of the tongue, runs through the throat, and enters the cranial cavity.
The sixth-order Sirius's body froze.
Its mouth was still open, and the extreme cold air on its teeth slowly dissipated.
The golden patterns in his pupils flashed one last time before fading, and his massive body crashed to the ground.
[Slayed a Tier 6 Sky Wolf Beast King, gaining 135541 Kill Points]
Song Chen drew his sword, took two steps back, and sat down with his back against a pile of broken spirit ore.
My blood and energy are almost depleted, and my mental strength is also almost exhausted.
He browsed through the system shop and spent 300,000 kill points to exchange for a bottle of Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Elixir.
The dark golden liquid swirled slowly in the bottle, radiating warm psionic energy.
He pulled out the stopper and gulped it down, his blood and qi rebounded from their lowest levels to full, and his mental strength returned to its peak.
He tossed the empty bottle aside, stood up, and stretched his neck.
"Sixth-tier initial stage... That was exhilarating."
The logistics base was completely destroyed. The man and the wolf fought for nearly forty minutes. The sixth-tier wolf's extreme cold breath froze half of the ice cellar area, his blade energy cleaved through dozens of piles of spirit ore, and the low-level guards in the area crushed by the lightning field were all wiped out.
The ground was covered with fragments of spirit ore and remnants of beast meat, frozen into a mess of ice shards. The total damage was about the same as when the psionic bombs were used to bomb it.
The remnants of Sirius fled. The fifth-tier guards watched from afar as their sixth-tier beast king was slashed in the back by a human, who then slowly killed him with a single blow, leaving not a single one alive.
Only the sound of the wind and the crackling of the spirit ore flames remained in the icy valley.
Song Chen sheathed the Tianjun Blade, took out his tactical terminal, and dialed an encrypted channel.
"teacher."
Zhou Wangyue answered even faster than last time: "Speak."
"The Tier 6 troops who came to support the logistics base are dead, and the remaining garrison has fled."
The person on the other end of the terminal thought for about three seconds.
The rumble of psionic shockwaves continued in the background, but Zhou Wangyue's voice drowned out all the noise: "You killed a Beast King?"
"Initial stage, recently broken through, first ambushed and cut off one of its hind legs, then harassed it around the severed leg."
"It rubbed against me for half an hour, but it didn't touch me at all."
Zhou Wangyue did not respond to this.
Suddenly, a heavy breathing came from the other end of the terminal, and his voice was somewhat urgent: "Song Chen, run! The Sirius King himself is heading your way."
At this moment, Song Chen was sheathing the Tianjun Blade and walking out of the Ice Rock Forest when he heard this and was startled.
"The Sirius Dynasty, here I come? They're abandoning the main battlefield?"
"Never mind, it suddenly turned around just now, and the Ice Demon King tried to stop it but couldn't."
The sound of wind breaking came from Zhou Wangyue's side, clearly indicating that he was also pursuing at full speed.
"It just muttered to itself that what the sea dragon and the giant whale said was true. It must have been that the three royal families shared information about you before. The Sirius King didn't believe it at first."
"You killed Solock and then slaughtered a Tier 6 beast. Now it believes you're not attacking the logistics base, it's attacking you."
Song Chen paused for a moment, then continued walking forward: "How long will it take to get there?"
"At its speed, it'll take about five or six minutes."
"Five or six minutes," Song Chen repeated.
Then he pulled the hood of his cloak up over his head, and the wave-absorbing coating of the Northern Darkness Armor was fully activated, with a vortex of soaring energy beginning to circulate around him.
"Teacher, don't worry. The cloak can shield me from mental energy scanning, and Beiming can absorb waves. Even a sixth-level Fuyao might not be able to catch up with me when he runs fast. The Sirius King can't catch me."
"Don't be careless." Zhou Wangyue only said these three words before hanging up.
Song Chen shoved the terminal back into his arms and was about to use the Fuyao skill to retreat towards the Ice Demon Camp when the terminal vibrated again.
This time it wasn't an encrypted channel, but a direct connection from the Galaxy, the line that only Qi Shanhe himself could use.
