Chapter 24: Final Words
The wolf king was strong, several times more terrifying than a fierce tiger or a giant bear.
Even fine steel blades were not as tough as its skin, and indestructible walls could not compare to the bones beneath its flesh.
The wolf king’s neck was thick, and although its iron-needle-like fur did not pierce Gu Shiyi’s true qi-wrapped palm, it dissipated most of the force in his hand.
Several large trees were snapped with loud booms, yet the demon wolf sustained not a single injury.
One of its claws blocked behind it; its sharp talons and formidable power snapped all the large trees a step ahead of its body, while its other claw was not swung wildly, but hidden behind its back.
It was very smart, calm and unhurried.
Even while being gripped by the neck, it cold-bloodedly calculated an opportunity for a one-hit kill.
The innate sharpness of a wild beast and a life accustomed to battle only made it far more terrifying after it gained intelligence.
Gu Shiyi was also looking into its eyes.
The cruelty and bloodlust in its pupils brought him not the slightest panic; instead, it was the composure in the wolf king’s eyes that weighed heavily on his heart.
Suddenly.
A furry tail whipped out from beneath the wolf king, sweeping straight at Gu Shiyi’s face.
The dense fur was like steel needles; a single sweep like this was enough to scrape away all the flesh on a human face!
Gu Shiyi raised his hand to block in front of his face.
At almost that exact instant, the wolf king struck.
