27: Chapter 27 Five-Headed Wolf Demon, Su Bai Slays Them Alone!

Plus, with the strength Su Bai just displayed, if we fight while protecting Su Bai, we might actually be able to end this quickly!

Perhaps... we really can win!

"Kill!"

The remaining eight soldiers also drew their weapons one after another, roaring as they charged forward to meet the other three Wolf Yao.

An encounter battle erupted in an instant!

Facing the most robust Wolf Yao, Su Bai showed not a trace of fear on his face.

He didn't even look at the other two that were flanking him from the sides.

Just as the robust Wolf Yao's sharp claws were about to strike his face, Su Bai's figure suddenly lowered, and he slid across the ground at an incredible angle.

His long saber swept from bottom to top, carving out an arc.

"Rip!"

A harsh sound of flesh being torn rang out.

The robust Wolf Yao let out a miserable howl, its forward momentum coming to an abrupt halt. It looked down to see that its lower abdomen had been sliced open with a huge gash deep enough to see bone, and its intestines and internal organs were spilling out onto the ground mixed with blood.

Before it could react, Su Bai had already appeared behind it.

He didn't even look at the heavily injured Wolf Yao, instead backhanding his saber to parry the claw attack coming from the left.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Using the force of the parry, Su Bai pivoted his body, and the long saber in his hand transformed into a streak of light, sweeping out horizontally!

"Thwack!"

The Wolf Yao attacking from the right couldn't dodge in time, and its forearm was severed at the shoulder!

Blood sprayed wildly!

In the blink of an eye.

One dead, two heavily injured!

Ma Lie's side had also engaged the last Wolf Yao.

Although there were eight of them, facing a fearless Wolf Yao, they were only barely managing to hold it off for the moment, and two soldiers had even sustained minor injuries.

This was the huge gap in Physical Body between the Human Race and the Yao Race.

But when they saw the battle situation on Su Bai's side, everyone felt as if they had been injected with adrenaline, and their morale soared!

The Squad Leader is too fierce!

"Everyone, give it your all! Don't embarrass the Squad Leader!"

Ma Lie shouted at the others, while hacking even more fiercely with his steel saber.

The two heavily injured Wolf Yao had now lost all Battle Intent.

This human... is a monster!

Run! Must run!

The two Wolf Yao chose to turn and flee simultaneously.

But would Su Bai give them a chance? Obviously not.

Su Bai gripped his long saber, looked at the two Wolf Yao, and said in a cold tone, "Want to leave? Did you ask my saber first?"

His figure followed like a shadow, instantly catching up to the one-armed Wolf Yao. With a raise of his hand and a fall of the blade, a wolf head flew into the sky.

Immediately after, he shifted his feet, and his figure disappeared from the spot again.

The next second, Su Bai appeared behind the disemboweled Wolf Yao, thrusting his saber into its heart from behind, cleanly ending its life.

Having dealt with these four, Su Bai turned around and looked at the last Wolf Yao being besieged by Ma Lie and the eight others.

That Wolf Yao had been scared out of its wits. Seeing its companions all killed, it had no Battle Intent left. Letting out a howl, it turned to dive into the dense forest.

"Squad Leader! Don't let it run!" Seeing this scene, Ma Lie shouted anxiously.

If it escaped and attracted more of the Yao Race, everyone would die here!

Su Bai didn't speak, but silently pulled something from his waist.

It was a somewhat crudely made red peace talisman.

He wrapped the peace talisman twice around his left wrist, then picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground.

Taking a deep breath, the muscles in Su Bai's right arm instantly bulged, and his veins protruded.

He violently threw the stone in his hand!

"Whoosh!"

The stone tore through the air like a cannonball, suddenly unleashing terrifying speed!

The Wolf Yao, which was fleeing frantically, felt a sharp pain in the back of its head, its vision went black, and its entire body lost control.

The back of its skull had been smashed inward by the stone.

In an instant, brains splattered everywhere.

The battle was over.

From discovery to total annihilation, it took only a short dozen breaths of time.

The forest became quiet again, with only the thick scent of blood remaining.

Ma Lie and the others stared blankly at Su Bai, who was standing in the middle of the corpses.

That figure holding a dripping long saber was, in their eyes, like a god of slaughter who had walked out of Hell!

The forest returned to dead silence.

The scent of blood, however, grew increasingly thick.

Su Bai watched expressionlessly as the blood dripped off his long saber.

Ma Lie and the other soldiers, seeing this, were still a bit dazed.

The few of them had actually wiped out these five Wolf Yao of the Yao Race?

"Squad Leader..." Ma Lie's Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke to Su Bai in a dry voice.

Su Bai looked up at Ma Lie. Not giving Ma Lie a chance to speak, he cut him off and said, "Clean up the battlefield. Take out all the Yao Cores."

"Yes!" Only then did the crowd snap out of their stupor and immediately start acting.

Su Bai walked to the corpse of the first Wolf Yao he had disemboweled, crouched down, and skillfully sliced and pried at the Wolf Yao's skull with his long saber.

A bead the size of a pigeon egg was flicked out by him. A Yao Core.

He wiped the blood off with the corner of his clothes and tossed it into the pouch at his waist.

The entire process was smooth and fluid.

The other soldiers watched with twitching eyelids. Although they also killed Yao, this was the first time they had seen someone like the Squad Leader, for whom killing Yao was as commonplace as eating and drinking.

"Ma Lie." Su Bai didn't lift his head, continuing to process the second corpse while speaking.

"Here!" Ma Lie shuddered and immediately straightened his back.

"Climb that tallest tree and keep watch." Su Bai pointed to a giant tree nearby that required two people to hug around, saying, "If there is any disturbance, report it immediately."

"Understood!" Ma Lie didn't hesitate at all, stuck his steel saber into the ground, and climbed toward the canopy using his hands and feet.

The forest was left with only the sound of blades cutting through flesh.

Su Bai's hands were very steady. One, two, three... five Yao Cores were quickly collected by him.

These Wolf Yao didn't have high cultivation, and the quality of the Yao Cores wasn't great either, but it was better than nothing. Back in Yunzhou City, they could sell for at least thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Just as he finished processing the last Yao Core, a panicked shout from Ma Lie suddenly came from overhead.

Ma Lie jumped straight down from the tree. Before Su Bai could speak, he roared at everyone, "Squad Leader! Run! Run quickly!"

It was fortunate that he was blocked by a tree branch halfway down, otherwise, falling from such a height would have probably left Ma Lie stunned for a while.

He scrambled to Su Bai's front, his face as pale as paper, and stammered, "Ox... Ox Yao! An Ox Yao holding a black spear! It's charging toward us!"

Ox Yao? Su Bai frowned slightly. It seemed this Ox Yao was the Alipu that the Wolf Yao had mentioned.

Realizing this, Su Bai immediately shouted in a low voice to everyone present, "Everyone! Retreat! Return to Yunzhou City!"
