You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

"Awooo—"

Seeing that its subordinates were almost all dead or wounded, the wolf king let out an extremely angry roar, and its attack became even more frenzied. Completely disregarding its own defense, it desperately pounced on Xin Menghan.

Xin Menghan had just caught her breath when she was suddenly in grave danger as the Wolf King launched a desperate attack, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"Beast! Stop being so arrogant!" Su Ming seized the opportunity, roared, and thrust his spear at the wolf king as if he was forcibly unleashing his power without regard for his own exhaustion.

However, a cunning glint flashed in the Bloodfang Wolf King's savage eyes. It suddenly abandoned Xin Menghan and slapped at Su Ming's spear with its claws.

"Su Ming, watch out!" Xin Menghan exclaimed in alarm, and hurriedly called out to Su Ming.

clang!

With a loud bang, Su Ming was struck as if by a heavy blow. He staggered back several steps, his face turned pale instantly, and his hand holding the gun trembled violently.

"Aww!"

With a single blow, the Bloodfang Wolf King forced Su Ming back. He immediately realized that Su Ming's strength was much weaker than Xin Menghan's. He roared and slammed his fist out, determined to eliminate Su Ming, this human martial artist who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, to avenge his cubs.

"The Vajra Spear Technique!"

Facing the Bloodfang Wolf King's full-force attack, Su Ming roared and immediately unleashed the perfected Vajra Spear Technique. With a 2.5x amplification, his spear, wielding nearly 3000 calories of combat power, successfully blocked the Bloodfang Wolf King's full-force strike.

Su Ming's seemingly all-out attack created an excellent opportunity for Xin Menghan.

"Heavenly Scale Blade Technique - Scale Slash!"

Xin Menghan mustered her last bit of life force, seized the moment when the wolf king's old strength had just dissipated and new strength had not yet arisen, and became one with the blade, transforming into a dazzling blade of light, slashing fiercely at the relatively soft spot on the wolf king's abdomen that had been exposed due to its attack on Su Ming!

Pfft—!

This strike, imbued with all of Xin Menghan's power, finally pierced the wolf king's formidable defense, leaving a gaping, gruesome wound from which internal organs and blood gushed forth!

"Awooo—!" The wolf king let out a deafening howl.

For the first time, fear flashed in its eyes after being severely injured. It dared not continue to entangle with Su Ming and the other person, and hurriedly dragged its intestines that had fallen to the ground and fled into the distance.

"You beast, where do you think you're going!" Xin Menghan saw this and was about to give chase.

However, as soon as she took a step, her legs went weak, and she collapsed uncontrollably to her side. After a fierce struggle, she had reached her limit.

Clang!

Su Ming then planted his fish-scale spear in the ground, leaning on it and panting heavily. He said to Xin Menghan, "Coach Xin, don't worry. Even if that beast escapes, he won't survive. Let's rest quickly and leave this place as soon as we recover."

"Yes, Su Ming, we owe you a lot this time. If you hadn't shown up in time, our whole team would have been wiped out here today."

Upon hearing this, Xin Menghan nodded, her gaze towards Su Ming filled with gratitude as well as intense shock.

"Su Ming, what happened to you...?"

"Slap slap slap..."

Just as Xin Menghan was about to ask Su Ming how he had improved his strength to this level in such a short time, a sudden burst of applause interrupted her.

Then a laugh, tinged with a hint of surprise, came from the distant high ground.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I can't believe you're all still alive! And you, kid, you're actually a second-tier martial artist. We all misjudged you last time!"

Before the words were finished, five figures emerged from behind the rocks and dead trees on the high ground. The leader was a burly man with a bald head that gleamed coldly in the dim light and a face full of scars. He was Cheng Xiong from Thunder Martial Arts School!

He led four team members down the hill at a leisurely pace, forming a semi-encirclement around the exhausted and wounded Su Ming and his group of five, staring at them with a cold smile.

"Cheng Xiong! It was you! You lot just stood by and watched! You didn't even try to help!"

Upon seeing Cheng Xiong and his group appear, Fang Mo angrily shouted at them, clearly dissatisfied with their behavior of standing by and watching someone in distress when they were clearly nearby and could have helped.

However, apart from the youngest Fang Mo, Xin Menghan, Xia Mu, and Guan Shan all looked extremely grim, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

They were more experienced and had already guessed that the encounter with the Bloodfang Wolf pack today was most likely related to Cheng Xiong and his group.

"Ha, you'd rather watch someone die than help? Little girl, you're too naive!" Cheng Xiong looked at Fang Mo and sneered.

"Cheng Xiong! Did you bring the Bloodfang Wolf pack here?!" Xin Menghan, enduring her injuries and weakness, stood up, leaning on her longsword, and questioned Cheng Xiong.

"Hehe, don't you guys have the answer now?" Cheng Xiong grinned smugly.

Seeing Cheng Xiong's smug expression, Xin Menghan suddenly roared, mustering her remaining strength to attack Cheng Xiong, shouting at the same time, "Su Ming, take Fang Mo and the others and escape!"

"In your current state, do you think you can escape?" Seeing this, Cheng Xiong casually blocked Xin Menghan's attack with a slash, and grinned maliciously: "Attack! Send them on their way!"

"Yes, Brother Xiong!"

As Cheng Xiong gave the order, the other four team members responded in unison, with one of them even unleashing a powerful aura of the early stage of the second tier.

"Early stage of the second tier! There's actually another second-tier martial artist here!"

Upon sensing the aura emanating from this person, Xin Menghan's face turned deathly pale.

The other side also has a second-stage early-stage martial artist. Even if she desperately tries to hold off Cheng Xiong, Su Ming and Fang Mo will not be able to escape.

"Hehe, prepare to die!"

"What a pity, if this weren't an underground cave, I would really like to have the pleasure of two beauties."

The remaining four members of Cheng Xiong's squad, armed with weapons, each chose their own targets and charged towards Su Ming and his group.

Although his words were flippant, his killing intent was extremely strong, and he did not hold back at all when he attacked.

"You brat, becoming a second-tier martial artist at such a young age, you're truly an extraordinary genius, but what I hate most are geniuses like you! Die!"

The early-stage second-tier martial artist charged towards Su Ming, his eyes flashing with intense jealousy and killing intent. He raised his broadsword high and slashed down at Su Ming, who was at his last gasp.

Clang!

puff!

A metallic clang rang out, followed by the sound of flesh tearing apart.

"How...how is this possible?"

The martial artist, at the early stage of the second tier, stared blankly at his right hand, which was split open at the base of his thumb. The long sword in his hand had been flicked into the air by Su Ming and was spinning continuously.

But Su Ming's spear, after knocking away his weapon, pierced his heart with lightning speed, the blood-stained spear tip emerging from his back.

puff!

Su Ming calmly drew his spear, and the martial artist, who was at the early stage of the second tier, fell straight down. As soon as he fell, the long sword that had been spinning in the air countless times landed and stuck next to his fallen body.

"What?!!"

This unexpected scene caused everyone present to pause in shock, staring in disbelief at Su Ming's calm and collected demeanor. Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
