"I'll clear the path. Stay close!"
After speaking to Jasmine Bladeflower, Wufentang cast off all the metal armor plating across its body. The metal turbine set into its chest began radiating a crimson glow.
Overclock Mode. This was a burst mode unique to Wufentang as a mechanical monster.
The next instant, frantic gunfire erupted. Every bullet struck the skeletons ahead with pinpoint accuracy, carving a path made of shattered bone in the blink of an eye.
"Move!" Wufentang roared.
Charging at the vanguard, it surged forward rather than retreating, determined to discover who the Class user behind these skeletons truly was.
In Overclock Mode, its reload and firing speeds increased drastically, to the point where smoke billowed from its muzzle and its body temperature skyrocketed.
Yet at this moment, it no longer cared.
It cast life and death aside for a single piece of intelligence.
All so that the Original Inhabitants of the Zhen Realm would never again suffer senseless slaughter.
It would wipe out every last Class user and bring happy smiles back to the faces of the Zhen Realm's Original Inhabitants.
At this moment, cruel memory after cruel memory flashed through its mind—Class users slaughtering the Original Inhabitants indiscriminately, so many cut down before their nascent sentience could even awaken, returned to the embrace of the world. How was that any different from murdering children?
From that day forth, it had sworn an oath: no matter the cost, it would drive every single Class user out of this world.
"Overclock—Hail of Bullets!"
Wufentang pressed forward in its charge when suddenly one of its arms ruptured and exploded, having reached its absolute limit.
With resolute determination, it shoved the shattered remnants of the limb straight into its intact arm. Sure enough, another burst of power surged forth, unleashing a dense storm of bullets into the front.
In the blink of an eye, Wufentang and Jasmine Bladeflower tore into the skeleton army, cutting through layer after layer of obstacles.
Suddenly, two towering figures blocked their way.
It was Bolaiye and the Chaos Evil Beast.
The aura of Boss-tier entities filled Wufentang and Jasmine Bladeflower with despair. They were merely elites; how could Boss-tier beings appear on the opposing side?
The Chaos Evil Beast in particular gave them an overwhelming pressure, creating the illusion that they were standing before their own Society President.
"Jasmine, I'll do everything I can to hold them off! Find a chance to push forward!" Knowing full well it was no match for these two foes, Wufentang spoke in a low, grim voice.
Jasmine Bladeflower nodded solemnly in understanding.
The next moment, both sides struck in unspoken concert. Wufentang fired a shot at the Chaos Evil Beast, while Jasmine Bladeflower sent a flurry of petals whirling toward Bolaiye.
The Chaos Evil Beast did not bother dodging. It took Wufentang's bullet head-on; the projectile struck its sleek hide without leaving so much as a scratch.
Then, heaving its cumbersome bulk, it leaped into the air and crushed downward toward Wufentang.
Boom!
The Chaos Evil Beast crashed to the earth, smashing a massive crater into the ground.
However, the instant the beast leaped, Wufentang had already darted away to evade, firing continuously at the Chaos Evil Beast as it moved.
On the other side, Wolf King Bolaiye chose not to take Jasmine Bladeflower's petals directly. Instead, it unleashed Blood Shadow Soul-Reaving Claws, slicing all the incoming petals in two. Raising its hands, fingers hooked slightly, it swiped wildly at Jasmine Bladeflower, weaving a vast web of crimson slashes that draped downward.
Jasmine Bladeflower was well aware of how lethal those bloody lights were. Its body softened and plunged straight into the earth, evading all of Bolaiye's attacks as it vanished beneath the surface.
A moment later, it surfaced abruptly behind Wolf King Bolaiye, thrusting sharp fingers toward the wolf's weak spot.
As a plant-type monster, Jasmine Bladeflower possessed numerous tiny thorns across its body, every one of them dripping with deadly poison. When actively unleashing a skill, its toxin carried additional debilitating effects.
It firmly believed that as long as it struck Bolaiye, the wolf would surely die.
Jasmine Passion Poison!
In a flash, Jasmine Bladeflower's fingers drew a purplish welt across Bolaiye's calf. Though it did not break the skin, the toxin began infiltrating the flesh.
Bolaiye reacted with lightning speed. Sensing an enemy at its back, it whipped around with a vicious claw strike, but Jasmine Bladeflower had already submerged into the earth once more, darting toward Yu Xian's location.
It had done all it could; the rest was up to Wufentang.
Unfortunately, it had severely overestimated its comrade. Wufentang had no energy to spare to pin down Bolaiye; surviving the Chaos Evil Beast alone forced it into a frantic dance of evasion, unable to spare even a sideways glance at the wolf.
Seeing Jasmine Bladeflower retreat beneath the soil again, Bolaiye threw its head back and unleashed a deafening howl. In an instant, it pinpointed Jasmine Bladeflower's position underground and struck the earth with its ultimate skill.
Finger Blade Slash!
A massive, crescent-shaped crimson blade beam crashed straight toward the ground.
Mid-transit, Jasmine Bladeflower felt mortal danger impending. At the critical juncture, its body veered to the right. The blade beam slammed down, obliterating its entire left arm into ash within the flash of light.
At Level 41, the Wolf King's ultimate skill carried at least twenty times the power it had possessed at Level 20.
Under this single blow, a trench twenty meters deep was blasted into the ground. Wolf King Bolaiye howled once more, locking onto Jasmine Bladeflower's position again.
Its howl was no random roar, but an active skill: Wolf King's Might.
Whenever it howled, it intimidated surrounding creatures, and the feedback from the effect allowed it to know the intimidation had succeeded.
That was how it tracked Jasmine Bladeflower with pinpoint accuracy, rendering hiding beneath the earth utterly useless.
Bolaiye shifted its gaze toward its right. Raising a hand once more with index finger hooked like a talon, it slashed downward with another Finger Blade Slash.
This time, however, Jasmine Bladeflower was prepared. The moment the blade beam descended, it rapidly shifted its position.
Just then, Bolaiye suddenly swayed and dropped to one knee. Jasmine Bladeflower's skill had taken effect. Though Bolaiye possessed a Boss template and astonishingly high resistances, the venom had still taken hold.
After all, Jasmine Bladeflower was no minor bit-player, but a genuine high-tier elite monster; its skills were equally terrifying.
Sensing Bolaiye's collapse above, Jasmine Bladeflower realized its Jasmine Passion Poison was working. Soon, Bolaiye's life would be snuffed out.
It slowly emerged from the ground, cast a glance at the kneeling Bolaiye, and sneered, "Traitor. This is the price paid by all who betray their own kind. Stay here and rot to death."
Leaving behind those words, it turned to depart. Jasmine Passion Poison not only carried lethal toxicity, but also inflicted paralysis, powerlessness, and weakness. Bolaiye was already on borrowed time; death was merely a matter of moments.
Yet before it had taken more than a few paces, a towering silhouette radiating a bloody aura slowly rose behind it.
Jasmine Bladeflower froze in its tracks, its eyes widening in sheer disbelief as it stared forward, its senses gripped by the terrifying killing intent looming at its back.
How... is this possible?!
The next second, Wolf King Bolaiye let out a low snarl and lashed out with both hands. A blinding flurry of crimson light tore through Jasmine Bladeflower's body. Collapsing in bitter grievance, its form dissolved into white light, leaving behind only several gleaming pieces of loot.
