I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

As dusk fell, the city was peaceful, but Tianhua Street was in chaos.

Screams and shrieks filled the air as residents fled the streets in panic, their cries of wolves echoing behind them, throwing the ordinary residents, who had never encountered monsters before, into a state of utter confusion.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air, and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

Although the patrolling security guards arrived in time, they were far outnumbered by the wolves and could only try their best to delay them.

Among the group of security guards, a woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit was fighting with a three-clawed wolf.

Although her foundation was damaged, Jiang Mingrou's physical strength still surpassed that of ordinary people, and she was not afraid at all when facing the Claw Wolf one-on-one.

But facing a three-clawed wolf at once was beyond her capacity.

As its name suggests, the clawed wolf, besides its extraordinary physical abilities, is most notable for its sharp claws, which are so sharp they can easily pierce through concrete walls.

A wolf king covered in red fur was enjoying its meal when it suddenly raised its head, its gaze drawn to a human woman who was surrounded by enemies not far away.

To be precise, it was the woman's body.

The flesh and blood of martial artists are highly attractive to ferocious beasts; consuming them can strengthen the body and accelerate advancement.

"roar!!"

Its gaping maw opened wide, and its roar was deafening.

The Claw Wolf King charged out at incredible speed, arriving in front of Jiang Mingrou almost in the blink of an eye, and swung out a claw.

Although Jiang Mingrou reacted in time and used her knife to block in front of her, the enormous force from the claw still sent her flying several meters away, crashing into the wall of a shop.

"Cough cough..."

Blood continued to spill from her mouth; her spine was broken, and she was too weak to stand up.

"Aunt Jiang!"

Jiang Qin, who happened to be there, witnessed this scene and, disregarding the danger, rushed over.

But as soon as he got close, Jiang Mingrou pushed him away. Her eyes were no longer gentle; instead, they were filled with anger!

"What are you doing here! Run away!"

She is a martial artist who grew up in an orphanage. After becoming an adult, she was given a government subsidy that allowed her to embark on the path of a martial artist. Therefore, from the day she became a martial artist, she vowed to protect this country.

On the day she took the oath under the national flag, she was already prepared for death.

She was not afraid of death; her only concern was Jiang Qin. Seeing her son risking his life to save her, she felt both gratified and angry.

A figure blocked the Claw Wolf King's path.

Uncle Li, holding the kitchen knife he'd used for ten years, was filled with immense fear. Without turning his head, he shouted:

"Xiao Qin, take your mother away right now!"

"Uncle will shield you!"

Once, a wild boar ran down the mountain, and Uncle Li was in grave danger. It was Jiang Mingrou who stepped forward and saved his life.

A life for a life, that evens things out!

Jiang Qin didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled his mother up on his back, ready to escape from there.

But before he could take two steps, a head rolled down to his feet, a head that looked all too familiar.

Behind him, a headless corpse lay on the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere!

Ordinary people are like ants in front of a tiger when facing ferocious beasts, unable to even put up the most basic resistance, let alone the Claw Wolf King who has already reached the eighth level of the mortal realm.

After dealing with this overconfident human, the Claw Wolf King stared at Jiang Qin's staggering figure with bloodlust and mockery in its eyes.

The next second, it leaped high into the air!

Jiang Qin felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him from behind, pinning him to the ground and rendering him unable to move. He could only stare at the ferocious beast behind him with eyes full of anger and helplessness.

"You beast...come at me if you dare!"

The Claw Wolf King ignored him and, right in front of Jiang Qin, grabbed Jiang Mingrou and... threw her into its mouth like a snack.

In the moments before plunging into darkness, Jiang Mingrou could only cast a helpless yet reluctant glance at her son.

Over the years, she has genuinely treated this orphan she found by the river as her own child.

She has lived in an orphanage since she can remember.

At first, she worked desperately to improve herself, not to become a powerful martial artist, nor did she have any grand dreams...

She just wanted a family, to experience the warmth of home and the feeling of being cared for.

This dream came true because of Xiao Jiangqin.

From now on, her little Jiang Qin will be all alone, just like she was when she was a child.

I really can't bear to part with it...

All thoughts froze at that moment; the beautiful life they had imagined was torn to shreds by the attack of the ferocious beast.

There is no hope left!

"ah!!!"

Jiang Qin, who was being trampled on the ground, howled in pain, his voice the only sound on the entire street.

All the security guards have become food for the wolf pack.

The entire street presented an apocalyptic scene.

In his despair, a mechanical female voice that Jiang Qin had longed for echoed in his mind.

[Host's emotions have exceeded the threshold; binding to the entry system is in progress...]

[Binding successful!]

[System Function: Each time you break through a major realm, you can randomly draw one ability attribute.]

A strange power swept through Jiang Qin's limbs and bones, helping him break through to the first level of the Mortal Realm.

[Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the Mortal Realm! You have received the reward: Slash Domain.]

[Slash Domain: Nothing in sight is immune to its power!]

An indescribable power welled up in Jiang Qin's heart.

The Claw Wolf King enjoyed a hearty meal as it pleased, then looked down and noticed that the humans at its feet had stopped howling at some point. A look of human-like boredom flashed in its eyes.

Clearly, it's tired of playing with it.

Its claws were raised high, carrying immense force, and pressed down on the humans beneath its feet.

Crimson blood splattered, and a painful scream rang out!

However, the howl did not come from Jiang Qin, but from the Claw Wolf King.

A blood-soaked claw lay on the ground.

Sensing the king's painful roar, the surrounding clawed wolves stopped eating and stared fiercely at the figure that slowly stood up.

Jiang Qin's eyes radiated a chilling aura; he had obtained the power he had longed for.

But if he had a choice, he would rather not have this power.

"You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now?"

"Does playing with people's lives make you happy?"

Jiang Qin's voice was hoarse as he looked up at the Claw Wolf King, who was preparing to retaliate.

An invisible slash erupted, silent and without a trace.

The Claw Wolf King seemed to sense something, but when it reacted, its vision changed, and a three-meter-long headless wolf body appeared in front of it.

It seems... somewhat familiar?

After its head rolled twice on the ground, the corpse that had been standing there slowly collapsed into a pool of blood, lifeless.

The howling of the wolves around them stopped, and confusion appeared in their eyes. They couldn't understand why their king had fallen.

Jiang Qin then looked at them, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"None of you are leaving here today!"

"Leave them all here to be buried with Jiang Ma!!"

The next second, a series of slashes erupted from his body, attacking the surrounding clawed wolves.

In less than 3 seconds.

As heads rolled to the ground, all 43 clawed wolves... lay dead in pools of blood!

A hundred meters away, a group of people were speeding towards Tianhua Street.

The roar of car engines echoed through the quiet streets, billowing dust.

In the lead car, a woman in combat gear, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke coldly into her earpiece:

"Attention, we are about to arrive at the target area."

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Don't let your guard down..."

The conversation abruptly stopped, and everyone wondered why the captain had fallen silent.

But when the combat vehicles stopped at the street corner, the scene before them left them speechless.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

In front of a shop not far away, a blood-stained boy stood surrounded by a dense mass of clawed wolf corpses, a nauseating sight.

The head of the wolf king with claws was the most obvious.

The wolf's eyes were wide open and dull, as if it had experienced something incredible before it died.

The woman who got off the bus picked up her phone and called her boss.

After the call connected, the person on the other end immediately said:

"Xiao Ji, how's the situation? Reinforcements are on their way, you..."

"No."

The woman interrupted her boss, her usually indifferent gaze now filled with shock.

"The entire Claw Wolf pack has been wiped out."

The boy standing in the pool of blood glanced at them, then gradually lost consciousness and fell backward.

The last rays of the setting sun shone on him.

Today, he lost the most important person in his life...
