Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

The giant wolf noticed Lin Yaoxie's arrival and sensed the killing intent emanating from him. Ignoring the divine eagle, it turned and pounced on Lin Yaoxie.

"Well done!" Lin Yaoxie smiled: "One breath can shake the universe, one sword can shatter ten thousand armies!"

As he chanted, his entire right arm spewed forth sword energy. He stretched his right arm forward, transforming it into the Giant Sword, which met the giant wolf that pounced on him.

Even though the giant wolf hadn't seen Lin Yaoxie wearing any weapons, it believed, based on its past experience, that this was the best opportunity to attack a powerful opponent, which is why it pounced.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yaoxie conjured a broadsword with a wave of his hand and swung it down at its waist.

The giant wolf had no time to dodge, so it twisted its body and turned its back towards Lin Yaoxie.

With a deafening crash, the giant sword slammed into the giant wolf's back, sending it flying more than ten meters before it crashed heavily to the ground. However, it quickly rolled over and got to its feet, its silver eyes now filled with wariness as it looked at Lin Yaoxie.

"With the blessing of the thirteenth level of Long Elephant Technique, it has indeed been of great benefit to me." Lin Yaoxie dispelled the sword energy and restored his arm. He stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the giant wolf, and beckoned the divine eagle over.

If Lin Yaoxie had arrived any later, the Divine Condor really wouldn't have been able to hold on. This time, it couldn't show off either, and with its head drooping, it staggered to Lin Yaoxie's side, looking more like a child who had caused trouble and ended up getting beaten up, which was quite amusing.

The former Lin Yaoxie was known as a sword immortal, and he did indeed follow the lineage of long-range attacks using sword energy.

He could still fight close to some mediocre martial artists, but against a top expert like Jinlun, he was somewhat outmatched.

It was precisely because of his weaknesses in close combat and defense that Lin Yaoxie was able to destroy Jinlun's lair and steal the Long Elephant Skill.

His protagonist aura, which seemed to grant him a cheat code, allowed him to instantly learn the thirteenth level of the Long Elephant Technique, meaning he now possesses the power of thirteen Long Elephants.

Of course, the reality might not be that exaggerated. The strength of thirteen elephants can be estimated, but who knows what the strength of thirteen giant dragons is?

But regardless, with his current internal strength, combined with the powerful sword immortal techniques, smashing a two-meter-tall mutated werewolf away would be no problem at all.

Although the giant wolf got up, it could no longer utter the long howl that controlled the pack of wolves.

He remained silent, and the battle among the southern wolf corpses became even more one-sided. This was evident from the increasingly low, trembling howls of the wolves; the wandering corpses had completely taken control of the situation.

Lin Yaoxie cracked his neck a few times. He tilted his head to examine his now terrified opponent. It was the first time he had ever seen a werewolf; it was truly strange.

Back in the main world, he had actually seen introductions to werewolves in Western movies. He never imagined that such a mutation existed in China more than a thousand years ago.

However, Lin Yaoxie then dismissed his own opinion. Although this giant wolf looked like a werewolf fighting vampires in Western movies from every angle, upon closer inspection, it was actually just a wolf that could stand upright in human form.

Well, it would be more accurate to call it a werewolf.

Lin Yaoxie pondered how to deal with this giant wolf.

The giant wolf seemed to sense the plight of the southern wolf pack, and unable to extricate itself, it roared angrily. The roar was not sharp but rather deep and muffled, and upon closer listening, it turned out to be the tone of a 'sarapa'.

Just then, a 'ding' sounded, and Lin Yaoxie knew that the system was about to issue another mission.

Random Quest: Back to Balance

Mission Description: Subdue the wolf god Salaba, who does not belong to this world, and imprison him in the Third Dimension to prevent him from continuing to appear in the world of Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Also, drive Duke Vincent, who came from afar to kill Mongke, back to Europe to maintain spatial balance.

Task Rewards: B-grade skill "Dog-Beating Stick Technique", 3000 Demon King Points.

Failure Penalty: Without Salaba's intervention, Duke Vincent will embrace Möngke and spread the virus in the East, turning it into a blood bank and food source for the vampires. This will affect your main questline, preventing the era of Yitian Tulong from arriving.

"Damn, is this some kind of exaggeration?" Lin Yaoxie was speechless. A vampire had actually appeared? And this giant wolf in front of him was actually the Salab, the totem of the Mongols? Was this still a martial arts world? Couldn't it be less like Western fantasy?

"Because you killed Yang Guo, the male protagonist of the Condor Heroes world, and crippled Guo Jing's martial arts and extracted the spiritual energy to suppress evil, this world has begun to descend into chaos." The system explained in a timely manner: "In addition, when you absorbed Guo Jing's spiritual energy, you tore through the void and disrupted the spatial balance. Therefore, some elements that should not have appeared but existed at the same time have appeared one by one."

What else could Lin Yaoxie say? He was indeed the one who sowed the seeds, so he had no choice but to clean up the mess himself.

But who is he? He is Lin Yaoxie, and Lin Yaoxie will never suffer a loss!

Chapter 95: Pointing East While Hitting West [First Update]

A sudden gust of wind swept through the mountains and forests, and countless sword energies spread outwards from the center of the demonic forest. These sword energies rushed towards the wolf god, Salaba.

Salaba was taken aback. It was a formidable opponent, having witnessed countless strange and unusual battles with Vincent the vampire in recent years. But what on earth was this waterfall of sword energy crashing down upon it?

There was no time to dodge, so Salaba had no choice but to go for it.

It turned around, exposing its strongest part—its back—to the outside. However, it knew perfectly well that doing so would likely result in its death.

It had just caught Lin Yaoxie's giant sword on its back and then launched itself away like a ball. Who knows where Vincent from the west got such a master?

Salaba turned around, unable to see the changes in the sword curtain behind it. However, it could feel waves of air surging towards it, powerful enough to blow its massive body away. The wolf god closed its pale eyes; it seemed its powerful life was about to end.

But just when the surging air was so intense that it could barely stand and lose its footing, the air suddenly changed direction.

Lin Yaoxie shouted: "The rising and setting of the stars is due to my obsession; the Big Dipper and the Southern Star shift the universe."

He wrapped his arms around the air as if embracing a large pillar, then with a powerful twist of his arms, he spun his body 180 degrees backward, startling even the eagle hiding behind him.

The enormous sword curtain moved along with the direction of Lin Yaoxie's arm, and the distance suddenly increased from only a dozen meters to several dozen meters.

"Awooo!" A scream came from mid-air.

A gigantic bird appeared within the rapidly spinning and moving sword curtain, its exact features obscured by the darkness. In a fleeting glimpse, it appeared bald, propelled by the sword curtain and slammed violently into the ground, leaving a massive crater.

Hearing the loud noise, the wolf god Salaba turned around, staring at Lin Yaoxie with puzzled eyes. He couldn't understand why the human who had been plotting to kill him just a moment ago was now completely hostile.

Its round, black nose sniffed the air, and immediately detected a familiar yet utterly repulsive stench of blood from the large crater in the ground. Salaba suddenly understood; its gaze towards Lin Yaoxie, though still silvery-white, seemed much gentler.

Lin Yaoxie naturally noticed the change in Shalaba's expression; this was already within his calculations.

Turning back to the injured but slowly healing eagle, he said, "Brother Eagle, fly back to my southern battlefield first. Keep an eye on my wandering corpses and don't let them run around."

The eagle nodded, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky. After glancing at the bare birds and salpas in the crater, it gave a resentful cry, then turned and headed south.

The Divine Eagle was truly convinced. It had originally believed that, apart from Dugu Qiubai and Lin Yaoxie, it was the most powerful individual in the world. Even knowing that Lin Yaoxie had taken the giant python into its spatial dimension, it still held that belief.

But now it admitted defeat; that giant wolf was far more powerful than it. If it hadn't been for some reason restraining the giant wolf from unleashing its full strength, it would have been killed by the wolf's sharp claws long ago.

Moreover, it failed to notice another enormous, invisible creature in mid-air. Putting aside everything else, the fact that it survived Lin Yaoxie's powerful attack speaks volumes about its strength.

The Divine Eagle understood that Lin Yaoxie had ordered it away from the battlefield for its own good. It had seen the wandering corpses before; they wouldn't run around without Lin Yaoxie's command. If the wolf pack had already been dealt with, why should it bother to restrain them?

Letting it go was simply for a protective purpose.

Sure enough, after watching the divine eagle leave, Lin Yaoxie smiled and strolled towards the pit.

The wolf god Salaba paused for a moment, then moved his massive hind legs and cautiously walked toward the giant pit.

Lin Yaoxie stood at the edge of the pit and looked down. In the very center of the pit, a strange bird lay. It was strange in a way, but not strange in a way. This large bird, devoid of feathers, was actually a bat.

It's just that it's much larger than a normal bat that's about a foot long.

However, since there is already a wolf god that can stand upright for more than two meters, it is not surprising that there is also a super giant bat.

The bat lay sprawled on the ground, its wingspan exceeding one meter. It looked exactly like a demon from Western legend.

The large bat lay motionless in the pit, seemingly dead.

Lin Yaoxie clapped his hands and asked coldly, "Vincent, how long are you planning to play dead?"

At the same time, he waved to the giant wolf that had also walked to the edge of the pit, baring its teeth and preparing to pounce into it: "Shabala, don't be reckless."

Salabah cannot speak human language, but it can clearly understand human speech. It stared at Lin Yaoxie with surprise, seemingly wondering why this human knew its name.

However, intimidated by the formidable strength displayed by Lin Yaoxie, it obediently stood by the pit without moving.

"Hehehehe!" A strange laugh came from the giant bat.

Then, the bat's black body began to move, eerily, and as it moved, it also underwent changes. The bat's body became soft and gradually lost its texture. In the next blur, the center of the bat's body arched up, as if a person had stood up beneath it.

Another moment of disorientation followed. The giant bat was gone from the pit; instead, there was a foreigner dressed in black, with a high nose, deep-set eyes, and a fair complexion. The only similarity was the foreigner's black robe, which did resemble bat skin.

"Hehehehe." Laughter came from the foreigner's mouth: "Little wolfhound, I never expected that you would cooperate with humans and put on such a show in order to stop my actions. Not bad, not bad, I really look down on you."

The wolf god Salaba howled a few times, looking quite excited, and deliberately kept a distance from Lin Yaoxie.

Although Lin Yaoxie couldn't understand wolf language, he could roughly figure out what Salaba was trying to say.

Ignoring the big wolf, Lin Yaoxie looked down at the foreigners in the pit and said, "My name is Lin Yaoxie, and I am not a friend of Salaba. On the contrary, in a sense, I may even be his enemy."

Chapter 96: Eloquent Speech [Second Update]

"Who do you say you are?" The foreigner's expression turned serious.

Lin Yaoxie said, enunciating each word clearly, "My name is Lin Yaoxie. If I'm not mistaken, your name is Vincent, right? You are a duke in your country."

"How did you know?" Vincent exaggeratedly touched his forehead.

Then he became excited again: "Are you really Lin Yaoxie? The Martial King of the Zhao Song Dynasty? The Lin Yaoxie who was later known as the Sword Immortal and the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance? The Lin Yaoxie who personally killed the Great Mongol strategist, the Golden Wheel Monk and his disciples?"

He bombarded Lin Yaoxie with a barrage of questions, only to receive a nod in return.

After hearing Duke Vincent's words, the wolf god Salaba, who had kept a certain distance from Lin Yaoxie, stood up again with the mane on his neck. With a formidable enemy at hand, he even put his forelegs, which he had been standing on, on the ground, making him look more like a giant wolf.

“By the great progenitor Cain, there must be some misunderstanding between us.” Vincent smiled politely, concealing the teeth that had inadvertently shown. “Your Highness, you and I are indeed from the same alliance. Your attack on me… Oh, I see. You were just joking with me, right?”

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "As expected of a vampire, his face changes faster than turning the pages of a book."

But he still said coldly, "Why do you say that?"

Vincent remained standing in the pit, but his demeanor was much more respectful, with one hand placed between his chest and abdomen, performing a standard gentlemanly gesture.

"Your Majesty, the Martial King. Since you are the Martial King of the Great Song Dynasty, and you helped Guo Jing defend Xiangyang, repel the Mongol army, and defeat the Golden Wheel Monk, then you are the nemesis of the Mongols." He paused here, trying to get approval from Lin Yaoxie's expression.

But Lin Yaoxie didn't even twitch his eyebrows, still staring coldly at Vincent.

Vincent was a cold-blooded animal, and his whole body stiffened under Lin Yaoxie's gaze.

“It’s like this.” Vincent organized his thoughts: “To put it simply, my people and the people of my kingdom, like you, deeply abhor the barbaric Mongol army. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, I have traveled thousands of miles from the continent of Europe to the far east to assassinate Möngke, the supreme commander of the Mongols. Once Möngke is killed, the Mongol army will naturally retreat eastward, and the crisis in Europe will be resolved.”

After saying so much in one breath, Vincent was starting to feel thirsty, but Lin Yaoxie's expression remained unchanged, just like a playing card, except for his indifference.

“Ahem,” Vincent had no choice but to continue, “Since Your Highness and I both hate the barbaric Mongol army, then we should be friends, right?”

After asking a tentative question, Vincent pointed with his right hand at the wolf god Salaba, who was on all fours, looking anxious and on the verge of a great enemy: "I have been here for three years. In these three years, I have wanted to sneak into the capital and kill Möngke every moment. But it is this beast that has been blocking my way. I guess it has been delayed until now without success."

Vincent narrowed his eyes: "So, if His Highness the Martial King Alliance Leader could help me kill or hold off Shalaba so I can take down Mongke, wouldn't that be exactly what we both need?"

Lin Yaoxie smiled. Seeing Lin Yaoxie smile, Vincent also smiled. He had said so much just to win Lin Yaoxie's favor.

"As expected of a duke, one of the most powerful princes of the vampire clan." Lin Yaoxie affirmed Vincent's words: "He is indeed eloquent. I really do not intend to let Mongke continue to live."

"Ha..." Vincent laughed even more heartily.

"Roar..." Salaba let out a low growl and pounced on Lin Yaoxie.

It knew that even with Vincent alone, it would need its entire pack of wolves to barely fight him. Now, none of the five hundred wolves had returned, and there was another unfathomable Lin Yaoxie still around; it had absolutely no chance of survival today.

But to keep its promise to its master, it must ensure the continuation of the Mongolian bloodline, even at the cost of its own life.
