Light Cultivation
Eps. 24 — Lightning Wolf
Jian Chen's golden eyes were indeed very alluring, if one looked at his eyes for longer then they were like seeing there were thousands of stars twinkling in the depths of Jia Chen's eyes. It was as if the universe and the strands of star powder were within his eyes.
No wonder Niu Meily was fascinated and did not even blink looking at her eyes. It was as if Jian Chen's eyes drugged anyone who saw him to continue staring at him.
The atmosphere became awkward, the beautiful girl cleared her throat slowly to melt the atmosphere. “Ehem! It seems like the fog is starting to thin. Do you want to go home now?”
Jian Chen scanned the sky for a while before nodding softly at Meily.
The two had only walked a few steps with Meily who was in front when suddenly Jian Chen felt something dangerous lurking around him, it didn't take long to notice, either, from the bushes there were already wolves brooding and were about to pounce on Meily.
“Composed!” Jian Chen exclaimed.
Despite not understanding the girl immediately ducked when Jian Chen told her suddenly.
The leaping wolf did not expect that its prey would react so it hit empty air.
Jian Chen did not stand still, he gave the wolf a kick while it was still in the air, making it slam quite far away.
Meily who was on standby now saw clearly what was attacking her and her eyes widened from knowing it.
“Golf lightning!? Why is he here?” Meily recognized the wolf.
“Possibly he was about to drink at the waterfall and coincidentally found us.”
Meily pulled the sword sheathed on her waist, she was about to advance and attack the wolf but the step came to a halt as Jian Chen's hand blocked her.
Niu Meily did not understand the reason but immediately the reason was answered, from the bushes appeared 3 other wolves who were about 10 years old.
Meily was sure that she could still fight the wolf but Jian Chen's hand still did not go down.
“See around..”.
“Circular?”
Meily looked at Jian Chen with a question mark then her gaze turned to the waterfall area. Meily took a cold breath, she found many wolves coming and it turned out that from the beginning she had been surrounded by wolves.
There are about 15 wolf stealth that surround it, the strongest among them are in their 30s and the weakest about 5 years down.
Despite feeling threatened, the girl was still able to position herself. Meily changed her back to back with Jian Chen, the sword she was wielding was already drained inwardly.
Jian Chen was also no less equal to pulling out his sword, in contrast to Meily Jian Chen still looked calm.
“Let me take care of 10 wolves, the rest stay for a while and I will also finish everything.” Meily said.
Jian Chen furrowed his brows, it seemed like the girl had underestimated his strength too much.
Feeling that there was going to be a fight, Meily tried to attack first. He inhaled a deep breath and then took it out slowly, instantly rising steam from the two edges of his lips.
Jian Chen realized that the girl was going to use a breathing sword technique.
“Half Moon Sword Technique ~ Clangs of Darkness Night!”
Niu Meily moved quickly to one of the wolves in the front position, had not had time to blink, Meily's body was behind him while the wolf's head was out of place.
Meily's lips had already raised the steam back, she was about to use another sword technique.
“Crescent Sword Technique ~ Darkness Spring!”
Meily poured a lot of deep energy into her sword, she swung her sword with a repetitive twisting pattern.
The strong twists caused sharp wind blades in various directions, the wolf that lunged from various sides instantly died with its limbs cut off.
The wind knife that Meily put out was indeed sharp so that it could split the wolf like tofu. There were about 5 wolves that Meily had killed in a short time.
Niu Meily fell to her knees with the sword supporting her body, she had indeed survived the wolf's siege but her breath was immediately hunting, her inner strength had drained so much that her head became a little dizzy.
Meily then looked at Jian Chen, her eyes opened wide when she realized Jian Chen had killed the wolf more than her not to mention that she looked not exhausted.
“You all right?” Jian Chen walked up to Meily and extended his hand.
Meily nodded, welcoming Jian Chen's helping hand to stand up. He caught a glimpse of the wolves that Jian Chen had killed about 10 wolves. Meily was embarrassed by the previous sentence of wanting to kill all the wolves, thinking that the young man in front of her had his cultivation underneath considering that he looked younger than her.
On the other hand Jian Chen was also actually being shocked by Meily especially when using his sword. Meily had already mastered some techniques from the Moon Sword Technique.
‘No wonder he was called a young genius in the Academy, being able to master such sciences at the age of 15.” Jian Chen clucked in awe in his heart.
Jian Chen then approached the wolf corpses and took out his stealth gems, this was the thing he was aiming for and it just so happened to be this gem that approached him.
Seeing Jian Chen look so enthusiastic, Meily gave the wolf stealth gem that was previously taken away then threw it at Jian Chen.
“I don't really need it, you can take it all..”.
Jian Chen paused for a moment before thanking him. “Thanks, Miss.”
“My name is Niu Meily, maybe you already know my origin because of my swordplay earlier.”
Jian Chen nodded, the swordplay of the Niu Clan does indeed have its own distinctive features from other sword techniques.
“Can I know your name, maybe we can meet again next.”
“Oh, maap, my name is Jian.” Jian Chen's words came to a standstill when suddenly his instinct warned of approaching danger at an unnatural pace. Without further ado Jian Chen held Meily's hand.
The splash!
Jian Chen disappeared for a split second before switching places and appearing near the waterfall. The previous standing place was suddenly showered with powerful lightning until the ground below became black.
Meily became hysterical, the power of the lightning was so great, if it was too late to dodge it might lose its life.
Not long after the lightning struck, a wolf appeared in the depths of the forest. Unlike the previous wolves, this wolf had a much larger and stronger size.
The most striking of the wolf was on its fur which had lightning coils around its body. The wolf growled furiously at Jian Chen or Meily for killing his flock.
“Looks like he was the leader of the wolves earlier, his age might be around 300 years.” Jian Chen clasped his sword tighter.
“Ti-three hundred years.” Meily stammered, this wolf demon was an impossible thing in her opponent. Let alone to kill him, escaping alone might not be able to.
