You call this the way of the sword?

Sensing the attack, the Crimson Wolf King's aura erupted instantly, causing the thick snow on the open ground to surge up with a roar, accompanied by a gale, and it was the first to meet the sword spirit head-on.

The Sword Soul, relying on its overwhelming stats, increased its speed instead of decreasing it.

The Crimson Wolf King was instantly enraged. It roared and swung its forelegs, its sharp claws striking the two sword lights in front of it, sending the two sword spirits flying. At the same time, it turned around and with great force, it lifted its huge wolf tail.

The wolf's tail, like a whip, swept across the swirling snow and fog, creating a crescent-shaped scimitar-like force that once again repelled the four sword masters behind it. However, three swords still landed on it one after another.

Although the fatal head wound was avoided, the 20x damage bonus from the [Sword Control] skill still caused the Crimson Wolf King excruciating pain.

It roared to the sky again, its massive body leaping up as it tried to distance itself from the sword spirit.

"It seems that it's not just a matter of attributes doubling."

"Its stats are only twice that of a regular monster, but its health and defense are several times higher."

Yang Qingfeng surveyed the battle, and seeing the Wolf King leap high into the air, his eyes immediately sharpened. "Scatter!"

The sword spirits that were about to give chase stopped and quickly scattered. The next second, a strong wind arose, and a point of earthy yellow light bloomed in the fog and snow.

After feeling the pain, the Red Mane Wolf King immediately unleashed its skill. Its two front paws burst forth with a terrifying aura, and its body crashed into the earth like a meteor, shaking the mountain peaks!

boom!

The entire Kongwu Peak shook violently, and rocks and thick snow continued to fall.

As the earth cracked and mountains collapsed, all nine sword spirits were affected simultaneously; those that were closest developed a crack in their soul bodies.

The Sword Soul is injured!

Yang Qingfeng's eyes twitched; this was the first time the Sword Soul had been injured.

Although the damage they took wasn't high, it still showed the power of the Crimson Wolf King's skills, enough to instantly kill these squishy magic users.

"Unfortunately, it cannot be used continuously, so it poses no threat."

Yang Qingfeng dared not be careless, but he was not timid either. He gave another order, commanding the sword spirit to attack with all its might and finish the battle quickly.

Influenced by the Sword Master, the fighting spirit of the nine sword souls continued to rise. The Crimson Wolf King seemed to sense something and let out a penetrating wolf howl.

The wolf king's howl spread rapidly like a signal, receiving a response of howls from wolves all over the mountains and fields. It sounded powerful, but unfortunately, it was powerless to continue.

The nine sword spirits moved like thunder, their swords flashing and creating a sound as they cut through the air. They surrounded the Crimson Wolf King from nine directions, showering him with sword light.

The Crimson Wolf King was instantly struck by several swords. The intense pain caused it to roar incessantly, its fangs and claws constantly biting and tearing, and even its tail swept back and forth, causing rocks to fly all over the mountaintop and clearing away the mist and snow.

However, the Sword Soul continued to grow stronger with each battle, while the Wolf King grew weaker and weaker.

As one side weakens and the other gains, the wolf king's howl is no longer angry, but filled with anxiety.

Under the relentless onslaught of the sword spirit, its injuries worsened, its movements slowed, and the vicious cycle accelerated its death.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Qingfeng seemed to see nine sword masters joining forces to slay the demon. Their graceful figures moved through the fangs and claws, and their sharp sword light pierced through the flying sand and stones. The Crimson Wolf King was beaten without any power to resist, and terrifying sword marks kept appearing on its body.

Finally, with a bloodcurdling scream, the female sword spirit rose into the air and severed the wolf's head with a single sword strike.

[Slaying the Level 16 Crimson Mane Wolf King grants +25800 experience]

[Obtained a Tier 1 Monster Inner Core]

[Obtained Tier 1 Armor, Crimson Mane Cloak]

[Obtained Tier 1 weapon, Wolf King Bone Staff]

At the same time the warning appeared, a pack of wolves reappeared on the mountain path.

They were slightly different from the original white wolves. Yang Qingfeng raised his hand and used his Insight Technique.

[A Crimson-Maned Ferocious Wolf - Enhanced Elite Monster]

[Level: 15]

【Root bone: 1000】

Dexterity: 1000

[Mana: 0]

[Endurance: 1000]

The Red-Maned Ferocious Wolves, whose attributes are slightly higher than those of the White Wolves, number about six or seven groups, totaling over a hundred.

Previously, the Sword Soul swept through the area, almost wiping out the White Wolf.

Yang Qingfeng didn't know where these ferocious wolves came from, and could only attribute them to some kind of dungeon mechanism, which might be unique to the Hell difficulty.

It's easy to imagine that if a team is unable to quickly kill the wolf king, they will find it difficult to free up their hands when surrounded by the ferocious wolves. At that point, they will only have two options: leave the instance in time or die here.

However, Yang Qingfeng did not have this option.

The nine sword spirits, having achieved victory in the battle, did not rest but turned and charged towards the ferocious wolves to sweep them away.

Without their alpha wolf, the wolves roamed aimlessly like headless flies, dying in droves amidst the rising and falling howls of agony.

A large amount of spiritual energy surged in.

After observing for a moment, Yang Qingfeng landed on the mountaintop and retrieved the two pieces of equipment he had just acquired.

【Red Mane Cloak: Dexterity -30, Stamina +100, Increases Cold Resistance, usable after level 10】

[Wolf King Bone Staff: Constitution +80, Stamina +100, corresponding attribute skill power increased by 5%, usable after level 10]

It's not a complete set, just ordinary individual pieces of equipment.

This kind of equipment is generally not very valuable, but it is dropped from a hellish dungeon, so the attribute bonus is quite considerable, roughly equivalent to a level 10 cultivator leveling up by 1 level.

"Why are there attributes that reduce stats..."

Yang Qingfeng complained, but quickly put the fur coat on.

With the cold-resistance attribute activated, the overwhelming fog and snow were no longer biting, and the body and mind, which had long been numb from the cold, quickly warmed up, bringing a spontaneous sense of comfort.

Compared to this feeling of comfort, the 30 points of agility lost were insignificant. After all, he could travel by sword, so the loss of agility and speed was not a big deal.

Then equip the Wolf King Bone Staff to increase your bone strength by 80 and stamina by 100.

Leaving aside his physical constitution, the two pieces of equipment increased his stamina by 200 points, bringing Yang Qingfeng's stamina value to 330 points.

Although it is still far inferior to the White Wolf and cannot be compared with the Wolf King, for fragile magic users, a little more stamina can mean taking one more hit from a stray arrow, which is still crucial.

"A weapon focused on endurance might be usable as a shield."

Driven by his thoughts, Yang Qingfeng released the Wolf King Bone Club from his hand and it floated around him.

With the passive ability of "Sword Control", he can use any weapon as a flying sword, but the bone club has no sharp edge and is more inclined to be a defensive weapon.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Junjian was not initially included in the equipment list.

When entering the dungeon, Yang Qingfeng was using the Yu Jun Sword to travel. Now that he has the Wolf King Bone Club, Yang Qingfeng now has two weapons on the surface, which would confuse anyone who sees him.

After the equipment was ready, the ferocious wolves in the mountains had been completely killed.

Yang Qingfeng looked around the mountaintop but couldn't see the path ahead. After a moment's thought, he summoned his bone staff and floated down the mountain, scanning the surroundings as he went. Sure enough, he noticed some changes.

Just now, the Crimson Wolf King used a skill, the power of which shook the entire Void Mist Peak. In that tremor, a passage opened up at the foot of the mountain, leading to the second half of the dungeon.

The passageway was dimly lit by firelight, exuding a chilling atmosphere.

This aura was completely different from that of the white wolf; it seemed to be a gathering place for another kind of demon.

With a question in mind, Yang Qingfeng landed on the ground. He had only taken two steps when a crossbow bolt suddenly shot out of the passage. He quickly drew his bone club to intercept and block it. Although he managed to block it, the bone club was also knocked away by the immense force.

"This attack... seems familiar."

Yang Qingfeng remained highly vigilant throughout, showing no panic even when suddenly attacked. However, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised when he saw the demonized crossbowmen in the passage.

It's supposed to be the territory of demonic beasts, but the monsters inside are actually alien demons?

Without giving it much thought, the crossbowmen in the passage raised their crossbows again, ready to fire.

Yang Qingfeng's heart stirred, and the nine sword souls descended like divine soldiers, charging in without hesitation.
