"It's okay. I would have killed this beast anyways.
"
nZhao Luo told the dwarf who was still shivering while looking down.
n'Aw, he must still be in a shock because of this damned monwolf.'
nZhao Luo cursed at the beast.
nThe dwarf was shivering because of Zhao Luo but he hadn't realized that yet.
n'Tap, Tap.'
nZhao Luo walked towards the dwarves and looked at the dwarf who had passed out earlier.
nThe dwarves were small and according to Zhao Luo they looked 'cute'.
n'How dare these Monwolves attack them?'
nZhao Luo was angrier than ever.
nHe wanted to kill every last one of these monwolves around the forest.
nZhao Luo bent his body and pushed his legs.
n
"Take care of your friend.
"
nZhao Luo told the dwarf as he ran towards another monwolf.
n'Woosh.'
nZhao Luo passed the dwarves with such a huge burst that the dwarves got a free hairstyle blow because of him.
nBack where the battle was going on.
nWhen Zhao Luo had rushed deep into the forest, the disciples who were fighting the monwolves kept on pushing them back till they killed them.
nWu Yang had also killed two already but nobody had seen him fight yet.
nWhile Mite, Mo Lee, Yan, Su Shi, and Yan had also killed a monwolf alone.
n'Huff.'
n
"I never asked for your help.
"
nFeng Mei angrily told Wei Bin.
nWei Bin had tied his score with Wu Yang as he had killed a monwolf solo just to jump in Feng Mei's fight who was being pushed around b the beast.
n
"Sorry.
"
nWei Bin didn't argue with Feng Mei even though he had done the right thing.
n
"Umm, Thank you.
"
nFeng Mei shyly thanked Wei Bin as her anger had faded already.
n'...'
nWei Bin couldn't even keep looking at Feng Mei as she looked too cute for him to handle.
n
"Let's help others.
"
nWei Bin changed the topic as there were many fights between the disciples and the monwolves which were still ongoing in the forest.
nOn the other end of the forest where Zhao Luo had rushed of earlier.
n'Clang.'
n
"Ahhh.
"
nA disciple cried out as the metal club of the monwolf smashed his left arm.
n
"Bastard.
"
n'Swoosh.'
nThe disciple swung his sword from his right hand at the monwolf trying to kill it.
nBoom!
nUnfortunately, his sword passed through mid-air but didn't hit the monwolf who had already jumped on a tree.
nThe beast had used his monkey legs to evade the attack and jump on the tree.
nThis monwolf was the trickiest among all the beasts in the forest.
nHe was using his surrounding smartly while jumping and leaping at the disciples to attack them with its metal club.
nSince the start, there were around 150 monwolf in the forest.
nMany disciples were taking on monwolves in a group of two.
nThere was not a single group who had lost to the monwolf as a group except this one.
nThe two disciples who were fighting it had already been injured many times.
n
"Come down, ahhhh.
"
nOne of the disciples screamed again.
nHe was the one whose arm had just been smashed by the monwolf.
n'Creak.'
nThe monwolf smirked at the disciple as he leaped at this disciple from the tree branch while swinging its club right at the disciple.
nThis disciple was named ling, Hong Ling.
nHong ling could move his left arm as he raised his sword which was only supported by his right arm to block the club of the monwolf.
n'Clang.'
nBang!
nHong Ling couldn't bear the force of the beast club as he was thrown backward and fell on the ground.
n'Hah.'
n'Hah.'
n'Wasnt this supposed to be a test? Then why do I feel like I am going to be killed by this stupid beast?'
nHong Ling wondered.
nIt was even hard for him to breathe as he looked at the disciple who he had grouped up with to fight this monwolf.
n'He is gone....'
nThat disciple's body has already vanished when Hong Ling looked for him with his half-closed eyes.
n
"G-guess this is it for me.
"
n'Swoosh.'
nHong Ling said as he threw his sword at the monwolf with the last of his strength.
n'Die.'
nHong Ling thought but it was obvious that such a powerless blow wouldn't even deal a scratch on that monwolf's body.
n'Clang.'
nThe same thing happened as the monwolf blocked the sword with his club while walking towards Hong Ling with a smile on his face.
nThe monwolf had a smirk on his face as he stood in front of the powerless body of Hong Ling who was lying on the ground.
n
"Sigh~
"
nThe beast raised his club and brought it down while Hong Ling waited for his tragic end.
nHe closed his eyes as the club was coming to smash his head into a pulp.
n'Ahhhhhh.'
nWhile screaming in his mind he waited. And waited. But the club never landed on his face.
n'What?'
nHong Ling opened his eyes slowly just to see a silhouette of a tall man standing in front of his face.
nThe beast was lying on the ground further away from Hong Ling but it was still alive.
nA moment ago, after Zhao Luo had defeated the armored monwolf he had rushed to help this disciple, and finally, he was here.
nRight before the club of the monwolf could fall on Ling Hong, Zhao Luo's foot landed squarely on the beast's wolf-like face and threw it away.
nThis is how he had saved Ling Hong.
n
"You okay?
"
nZhao Luo asked Ling Hong as he turned around to check on him first.
nLing Hong was lost for word as he saw the red face of Zhao Luo and the front side of his robe which was also red with the blood of the beasts.
n
"I can manage i-it.
"
nHong Ling said while moaning in pain as he tried to get up.
n'Tap.'
nZhao Luo grabbed Hong Ling's shoulder and helped him in getting up.
n
"Thank you, Brother Zhao Luo. I owe you one.
"
nHong Ling tried to bow but Zhao Luo stopped him.
nHong Ling was one of the disciples who had fought for the 92 spots in front of the gate at the last zone.
n
"You owe me nothing. I just did my duty.
"
nZhao Luo told Hong Ling in a majestic voice as he moved past him and went towards the beast who was getting up.
n
"Arghh.
"
nThe monwolf rubbed his sharp face where Zhao Luo had kicked him and hissed at him.
n'Boom.'
nThe monwolf jumped on the tree again.
nThere was a smile on its face that was saying, 'what will you do now homan?'.
n
"You are challenging ME?
"
nZhao Luo shouted at the beast as he walked towards the tree the beast was on and pulled out Ifrit and Blackey from his storage space.
n'Slash.'
n'Slash.'
nZhao Luo swung his swords in an inclined manner cutting the tree truck in two halves.
nBang!
nZhao Luo kicked the trunk causing its split piece to fall backward and the upper part of the tree to fall towards him.
nThe monwolf who was standing on the tree branch was falling towards Zhao Luo with dreadful eyes.
n
"Awoooogaa.
"
nThe monwolf howled as it used the falling tree to speed itself and leaped towards Zhao Luo with its club faced right at Zhao Luo.
n
"Good.
"
nZhao Luo said as it would have been a little troublesome if this beast had run away from him.
n'Woosh.'
nThe club that was coming at an insane speed at Zhao Luo was close to hitting him.
n
"Wood Drop.
"
n'Clang.'
n'Clang.'
nZhao Luo used his black sword, blackey to use the wood drop technique as he blocked the club of the monwolf.
nUsing the force of the monwolf and its club, Zhao Luo pushed his left leg back while bending his right knee.
n
"REVERSE BURST SLASH.
"
nHe instantly pulled Ifrit backward and swing it upwards from below.
n'SWOOOOOSH.'
nA crimson slashed was left in the sky above the dragon road as Zhao Luo's Ifrit passed through the Monwolf splitting it into two halves.
nThe sudden appearance of the crimson line in the sky caused the other disciple to look towards this fight which had already ended.
nThe slash was so fast that the beast still hadn't realized that it had been sliced into two.
nThud!
nThe monwolf fell to the ground.
n
"Another one down.
"
nZhao Luo calmly mumbled while turning around and looking at the stunned Hong Ling.
n
"Are you still a human?
"
nHong Ling unconsciously asked.
n
"Hahaha. Am I?
"
nZhao Luo smiled with his red face which caused Hong Ling to start coughing abruptly as the bloodied handsomeness was too much for him to take on with the shock.
n
"Ahem, brother take this.
"
nHong Ling brought out a piece of cloth and gave it to Zhao Luo while waving at Zhao Luo's face.
n'Sh, Sh.'
n
"Thank you.
"
nZhao Luo cleaned his face with the cloth as he returned it to Hong Ling.
n
"Let's go. There are still a few of these beasts left.
"
nZhao Luo told Hong Ling as he helped him to go with him.
nZhao Luo's action of helping Hong Ling and Hong Ling's action of showing compassion towards Zhao Luo activated the second and third teaching of Fu Zi causing Hong Ling's injuries to be healed gradually while Zhao Luo could feel his exhaustion fading away.
nZhao Luo and Hong Ling then started killing the monwolves from the other end deep in the forest as they helped all the disciples they could while saving the dwarves on their way towards the middle of the battlefield.
nAfter a while.
n
"It's over.
"
nZhao Luo loudly announced as he stood in the middle of the forest's battlefield.
nThe whole area was filled with lifeless bodies of the monwolves. They had cleared the final zone.
n
