Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1596: Chapter 1595 Actual Combat

Capital City.

Su Yang is still secluded within the Fusion Furnace, honing his skills. There’s only ten days left before the battle begins, and for him, one day inside the furnace is basically equivalent to ten days outside. Coupled with the abundant spiritual energy within the furnace and the immense pressure, Su Yang’s cultivation speed has increased significantly.

Thus, for Su Yang, this isn’t merely a last-minute effort; it’s a genuine improvement in strength to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Even so, Su Yang remains extremely vigilant in his heart.

He doesn’t know what method the opponent used, but the fact that they could come up with the idea of having Su Tianhao challenge him is enough to show that the opponent is thoroughly prepared and confident. Therefore, Su Yang must raise his abilities to the utmost to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

After cultivating in the Fusion Furnace for about a month, Su Yang began to try wandering onto the territory of the Uni-horned Wolf.

His current strength has risen to a certain level, and further absorption of spiritual energy for enhancing his meridians is progressing too slowly. Hence, he needs actual combat to stimulate himself in order to enhance his power.

Su Yang now can’t find suitable opponents to challenge him. Leaving the furnace would waste too much time, and there aren’t too many experts on hand to spar with him. On Lü Donglin’s side, even Xue Nu isn’t his match anymore and can’t help him in improving his strength.

Of course, Su Yang still has two other experts here, namely Old Wang the Second and his sister, the Black Widow.

But it’s not suitable to fight against these two. Old Wang the Second’s skills are now somewhat comparable to Su Yang’s. As for the Black Widow, her strength is much greater than Su Yang’s, but the problem is that, as a brother-doting fanatic, she can’t bear to go all out against Su Yang, making it impossible for him to improve in life-or-death combats.

Hence, after pondering over it, those Uni-horned Wolves are the most suitable practice targets. They possess exceptional combat abilities and sufficient deterrence power. They might even launch sneak attacks against Su Yang, making them the perfect opponents.

Returning to the Uni-horned Wolves’ territory, Su Yang was much steadier than before. He had hidden the Nine Cold Jade Sword and replaced it with a Cold Iron Longsword.

This Cold Iron Longsword, though inferior in material and quality compared to the Nine Cold Jade Sword, is more suitable for Su Yang at present. Using the Nine Cold Jade Sword would be detrimental for him to enhance himself through actual combat.

Su Yang barely managed to wander onto the Uni-horned Wolves’ territory for three minutes before he sharply felt a gust of strong wind approaching. Su Yang was also alert, swiftly dodging and turning around to see a Uni-horned Wolf standing not far from him, glaring menacingly.

Su Yang saw clearly that this Uni-horned Wolf was the same one that had attacked him before.

However, what grabbed Su Yang’s attention more was that not far behind this Uni-horned Wolf, there were two more Uni-horned Wolves also glaring menacingly at him.

Su Yang couldn’t help but inwardly call out in distress. He was only intending to challenge a single Uni-horned Wolf, so why did two more show up? This battle might be even harder than he anticipated.

Without waiting for Su Yang to react, the leading Uni-horned Wolf let out a howl, and the two other Uni-horned Wolves immediately charged forth, positioning themselves on either side of Su Yang. The three Uni-horned Wolves surrounded Su Yang in the middle.

Su Yang decisively stopped hesitating, holding the Cold Iron Sword and pointing it at the leading Uni-horned Wolf, shouting loudly, ”Come on!”

The Uni-horned Wolves, seeing Su Yang daring to provoke them, became even more enraged, and with a wolfish howl, the leading wolf leapt over.

The other two Uni-horned Wolves also lunged from either side, forming a triangular attack on Su Yang, cutting off all his means of retreat.

These Uni-horned Wolves are incredibly quick and immensely powerful. Most terrifying of all, their resistance to attacks is extremely strong. An adult Uni-horned Wolf can slaughter a Terrestrial Immortal, as chronicled in Destiny’s Tome, which Su Yang has also witnessed; he doesn’t doubt these wolves’ strength one bit.

Now with three Uni-horned Wolves attacking simultaneously, this indeed poses a tremendously dangerous battle for Su Yang.

He let out a roar, swinging the Cold Iron Sword fiercely at the Uni-horned Wolf in front of him. At the same time, he turned and punched the Uni-horned Wolf on the left, sending it flying away.

The Uni-horned Wolf in front was smashed away by the sword, landing with only a tiny wound, akin to being lightly scratched by a small fruit knife.

However, the Uni-horned Wolf on the right was completely uncowed, under such pressure, Su Yang’s speed was greatly diminished, making it impossible for him to fend off all three Uni-horned Wolves simultaneously.

The Uni-horned Wolf on the right charged directly, opening its mouth to bite at Su Yang’s neck.

Su Yang wanted to counterattack but it was already too late, yet he quickly grabbed hold of the Uni-horned Wolf’s neck, preventing it from biting his neck. The massive impact hurled Su Yang down, and wolf and man rolled on the ground.

Su Yang tightly held the Uni-horned Wolf’s neck, while the wolf’s four front claws frantically clawed at Su Yang’s body. Its tail, like a python, wrapped tightly around Su Yang’s neck, the immense power making him nearly suffocate.

In that moment, Su Yang realized he had truly underestimated these Uni-horned Wolves. Choosing to engage them in close combat was indeed the biggest mistake.

However, now there was no remedy for regrets, for the other two Uni-horned Wolves were rising again to charge fiercely once more.

Su Yang was shocked; he couldn’t afford to let all three Uni-horned Wolves close in on him, otherwise he’d be doomed.

Consequently, he no longer hesitated—his right hand shook, and the Nine Cold Jade Sword immediately flew out, swiftly cleaving the leading Uni-horned Wolf.

Meanwhile, Su Yang was ready to summon the Four Divine Beast Jade Stones, but the Little Chick suddenly flew out, chirping and darting toward one of the Uni-horned Wolves.

”Watch out!” Su Yang exclaimed in surprise, only to see the Little Chick already next to the Uni-horned Wolf, pecking it on the head.

The Uni-horned Wolf yelped out in pain, roaring in anger, standing upright with its claws flailing wildly and its tail whipping chaotically. The Little Chick was unable to react and was whipped away by the tail.

Su Yang was taken aback but saw that the Little Chick was completely unharmed, fluttering a couple of times before flying back up. It seemed to have been provoked, chirping incessantly.

At the same time, there was movement in Su Yang’s pocket, followed by the Little Turtle zooming out, racing towards the Little Chick.

Su Yang was dumbfounded; the Little Chick’s frantic chirping was actually calling for reinforcements? When did these two little fellows develop such a close bond? Was it after that incident of stealing medicine together at Qinghe Academy?

No wonder people always say that doing bad things together forms true brotherhood. After committing thievery together, these two little buddies have become inseparable!
