691. The Pack of Wolves’ Fierce Attack / 692. The Locked Room

Izayoi was surrounded by black smoke. His vision went dark, and he could not see anything, but he still gripped his sword and slowly approached the Skeleton Monster.

Izayoi knew that he had to deal with the Skeleton Monster as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once the black smoke dispersed, he would have no way out. He had to kill the Skeleton Monster quickly, or he would be doomed beyond redemption.

Bang! Izayoi swung the sword in his hand and smashed it fiercely at the Skeleton Monster.

The Skeleton Monster was knocked to the ground. However, it was not dead and could still climb back up.

Roar! The Skeleton Monster roared and opened its mouth again, spewing black smoke at Izayoi.

Izayoi swung his sword and smashed it fiercely at the Skeleton Monster. However, the Skeleton Monster was not knocked down. It got back up and continued attacking Izayoi, though its speed was clearly much slower than before.

Izayoi knew that he had to destroy the Skeleton Monster quickly. Otherwise, once the black smoke dispersed, he would inevitably be swallowed by it.

The black smoke gathered more and more densely, gradually turning into a cloud of black mist that enveloped the Skeleton Monster.

Seeing this, Izayoi quickly slashed out with his sword and killed the Skeleton Monster in one blow.

Just then, Izayoi saw a staircase. He hurried up it, only to discover on the second floor that there were many exceptionally fierce wolves.

The Fierce Assault of the Wolf Pack

These wolves possessed incredible speed and agility. The moment they spotted Izayoi, they charged toward him at full speed. One wolf lunged at Izayoi, opening its blood-filled jaws as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

Izayoi was greatly shocked. He quickly raised his sword to block the wolf’s attack, but he had still underestimated its strength. Just as the sword in his hand collided with the wolf—

It was torn directly in half. His body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned pale.

When the wolf saw Izayoi fall, its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty ferocity as it pounced toward him.

Izayoi quickly took several pills from his clothes. After swallowing them, his complexion gradually improved, but he was still incredibly weak. Even so, he gritted his teeth and stood up, fighting the wolf with his broken sword.

He did not dare let down his guard, because he knew he could only rely on himself now. He had to stay strong.

Awooo! Seeing that Izayoi could still stand, the wolf let out a howl before pouncing at him once more.

Come on! Izayoi roared, gripping his broken sword as he charged straight at the wolf.

Seeing that Izayoi actually dared to charge at it, the wolf’s eyes filled with anger. It pounced again, even faster than before, its gaze more vicious than ever. It wanted to tear Izayoi apart alive.

As the wolf lunged at him, Izayoi immediately used his fastest speed to cross past it and evade its attack. However, its claws raked across his back, tearing three gashes in his clothes.

He felt the pain coming from his back, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued moving at his fastest speed and pursued the wolf. Yet the wolf pounced on him again.

He felt blood flowing from his wounds again. The warmth of the blood stimulated his nerves, igniting the fury in his heart. Once more, he swung the sword in his hand.

As he fought the wolf, his body moved swiftly, and his sword continuously slashed against the wolf’s body.

Awooo! The wolf’s cries became increasingly frantic. It felt that it could no longer hold on. Fear flashed deep within its eyes. It truly could not endure any longer.

At that moment, Izayoi directly killed the wolf with his sword. Izayoi’s speed suddenly increased, and he quickly killed several more wolves.

But at the same time, he fell into a difficult situation. He had suffered many injuries, and blood kept flowing from his body.

Looking at the blood, his heart filled with helplessness. This blood was flowing from his own body. He knew it belonged to no one else but himself.

He had already lost too much blood, and his body was growing weaker and weaker. He knew that before long, he might die.

Haha! You beasts, I’ll defeat you today! Izayoi laughed as he looked at the wolves ahead. He raised his broken sword, preparing to kill the beasts.

Awooo! Seeing Izayoi pounce again, the wolves’ eyes flashed with panic.

Awooo! As the wolves pounced again, Izayoi did not dare be careless. He immediately used every ounce of his strength, concentrating it into the broken sword in his hand as he stabbed at the wolves again.

Squelch! The broken sword pierced through a wolf’s neck, and Izayoi killed it outright.

But he was also severely injured. At the same time, the wolf pack suddenly sped up, becoming even faster than before.

The Locked Room

Izayoi had not expected the wolves to become even faster than before. He was greatly alarmed, especially since he was already seriously injured. It would not be easy to withstand their attacks.

Soon, the wolves pounced toward Izayoi. One black wolf opened its mouth, and a green beam shot toward him.

Squelch! Izayoi used all his strength to dodge to the side, but the green beam still struck his shoulder.

Awooo! Several other wolves also charged at Izayoi, cruel smiles appearing at the corners of their mouths.

Izayoi gritted his teeth. Determination showed in his eyes as he tightened his grip on his sword and stared fixedly at the wolf pack before him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Suddenly, several sharp gusts of wind rang out, and a powerful blast shot toward Izayoi.

Those gusts were incredibly sharp. Izayoi’s heart trembled slightly. Their speed was simply too fast.

They were far beyond what he could react to. This made Izayoi even more worried. He was being attacked from both front and back. If this continued, even he might perish beneath the wolves’ claws.

A ruthless gleam appeared in Izayoi’s eyes. In this situation, he had to use his ultimate move, or he would not escape disaster.

And the situation was growing worse and worse. If this continued, he truly might lose his life here.

Roar! A furious roar burst from Izayoi’s mouth. He suddenly raised his arm, pointed the tip of his sword forward, and stepped ahead.

Whoosh! The space around Izayoi seemed to freeze instantly. His legs traced an arc through the air, and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball.

Bang! Izayoi’s right fist struck the black wolf directly in the forehead, sending it flying with the tremendous impact.

Awooo! The other black wolves were startled and immediately stopped their attacks, retreating backward.

Izayoi did not stop there. Instead, he pressed his advantage. His sword swept out, and streams of incomparably sharp sword energy shot toward the wolves.

Bang! Bang! Sword energy instantly filled the space around Izayoi. Under its assault, the black wolves had no choice but to retreat. Though they were fierce, in their current state—

They still could not contend with Izayoi. However, after fighting for some time, they gradually lost their patience. After all, maintaining such a state for so long was not good for them either.

Their stamina was limited, after all. If they continued dragging this out, they would sooner or later be killed by the power of a human.

Thinking this, the wolves suddenly used their fastest speed and severely wounded Izayoi. Feeling that he was about to die, Izayoi’s heart turned to ashes.

At that moment, he remembered that he still had one pill left. He took it out and swallowed it. A faint golden glow appeared around his body, as though all his injuries had been healed.

Not only that, he felt his strength greatly increase. Overjoyed, he rushed toward the wolves and successfully killed several more.

When the remaining wolves saw Izayoi suddenly grow stronger, they were terrified and fled into the distance. They had no desire to face an opponent who could strengthen himself like this.

The Gorgeous Flute

Seeing the wolves dare to run away, Izayoi flew into a rage. He had no intention of letting them escape. He was standing beside a window on the second floor, where the wind blew in continuously and tossed his hair about.

His face was filled with anger. Carrying his sword, he chased after them at high speed while shouting, Stop right there! I refuse to believe I can’t deal with you!

After hearing Izayoi’s words, the wolves seemed even more frightened and ran faster. But how could their speed compare to Izayoi’s? Before long, he caught them.

Awooo! The wolves could not help letting out mournful cries as they looked at Izayoi.

Izayoi’s eyes were becoming increasingly bloodshot, making him look like a starving beast. He snorted coldly.

Hmph! Now you know fear? You beasts, today I’ll let you have a good taste of what pain is, what despair is.

With that, Izayoi raised his sword, about to chop down.

The wolves quickly spat fireballs from their mouths and attacked Izayoi. This time, they had learned their lesson. Rather than spewing flames, they directly fired fireballs at him.

Seeing this, Izayoi snorted. Hmph! You can’t hurt me.

As he dodged the fireballs, he raised his sword and slashed at one of them.

A huge fireball exploded in midair, instantly forming a sea of flames as the blazing fire roared.

When the wolves saw this, their hearts sank. They hurriedly crawled toward the stairs, knowing that if they remained here, they would certainly meet with disaster.

However, just as they got up, another fireball landed on their bodies. Their bodies were instantly charred, and they let out shrill screams.

Only then did Izayoi stop. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He had been exhausted just now and had nearly worn himself to death.

Looking at the sword in his hand, Izayoi could not help smiling. He realized that his strength was truly growing greater and greater. This was also the first time he had used his full power, and the result was quite good.

By now, he had killed more than half the wolves. Only a few remained, struggling desperately, but he believed he would soon finish them all.

Izayoi raised his sword and rushed forward.

A cold flash streaked through the air, and a wolf fell into a pool of blood. He tossed its corpse to the ground and examined its abdomen. It was empty inside, with nothing there.

He picked up the wolf gallbladder from the ground and placed it in his clothes.

This time, I really struck it rich. Izayoi thought as he continued onward.

At that moment, several more wolves fell into pools of blood. Before long, Izayoi had killed every last wolf.

Just then, Izayoi discovered a room nearby with a very strange-looking lock on it. He felt that there might be something good inside.

Thinking this, Izayoi raised his sword, intending to destroy the lock with it. However, when his sword struck the lock, he found that it could not damage it at all.

Izayoi quickly changed targets and attacked the room’s door. At last, he successfully destroyed it. He walked inside and discovered that the room was shining with multicolored light.

The Golden Light Treasure Sword Saves His Life

Inside the room were a table, a chair, and some miscellaneous clutter. Izayoi did not even need to look at the clutter to know there was nothing valuable among it. He looked at the table, where a very unusual flute lay. It immediately caught Izayoi’s attention.

The flute was extraordinary, engraved with gorgeous patterns. Out of curiosity, Izayoi wanted to pick it up and examine it.

However, before his hand could touch the flute, a man in black suddenly appeared and attacked Izayoi.

A powerful aura radiated from the man in black. Izayoi felt that this man’s strength seemed greater than his own.

Even so, Izayoi was not afraid. He raised the sword in his hand and charged at the man in black.

The man in black was very powerful. Izayoi knew that if he did not use his secret weapon, he might not be a match for the man before him at all.

So Izayoi used his secret weapon. The treasure sword in his hand was an azure longsword.

He thrust out with his sword, stirring up a fierce sword wind as it struck directly at the man in black.

Sword light flashed like lightning, and sword energy swept in every direction.

The man in black did not panic. With a sweep of the long blade in his hand, a huge circle appeared and blocked the massive sword light.

Rumble!!! With a deafening boom, the entire room shook. Pieces of the ceiling fell from above and smashed onto the ground.

This was one of his strongest ultimate techniques, called Moon Slasher.

Moon Slasher was one of his signature arts. Its power was immense, but it consumed the true essence and inner energy within his body.

Moreover, after using Moon Slasher, he had to rest for ten minutes to recover his true essence and inner energy. During those ten minutes, he could not continue attacking others unless they attacked him first.

Even so, he was not someone others could deal with, especially Izayoi.

After seeing the man in black use Moon Slasher, Izayoi’s expression became even more serious.

I didn’t expect him to be an expert. What is his name, and why is he here? Izayoi thought.

His mind continuously recalled the method of using Moon Slasher, trying to find a way to counter it…

This move was simply too overbearing. Ordinary people could not withstand it at all. If he had not used his secret weapon, he would probably have been killed already.

What kind of move is this? How can it be so powerful? It’s simply unstoppable! Izayoi sighed inwardly.

At this moment, the man in black seemed to have recovered his true essence and inner energy and was preparing to attack Izayoi again.

The man in black was simply too fast. Before Izayoi could react, he had already been struck by the man’s sword.

The sword hit Izayoi’s left shoulder, and a great deal of blood immediately flowed from it, causing him unbearable pain.

Izayoi quickly clutched his left shoulder. He had not expected the man in black to be so powerful, attacking him so quickly.

He was now furious beyond measure. He decided to deal with the man in black properly. He took out a pill, and the moment he swallowed it, he felt a powerful current of energy coursing through his body.

All his injuries recovered, and Izayoi’s aura and strength became even more powerful.

The Flute’s Powerful Enhancement

After taking the pill, Izayoi became stronger than before. He rushed toward the man in black at high speed, intending to use this move to kill him. However, the man in black was extremely powerful. Seeing Izayoi charge over, he snorted coldly and released a tremendous pressure from his body, crushing down upon Izayoi.

Ah! Izayoi was blasted backward by that immense pressure and fell to the ground.

Izayoi struggled to climb back up and looked at the man in black before him. Sorry, I made a mistake just now, but I’ve recovered now! Before his words had even faded, Izayoi attacked the man in black again.
