125: Greedy Wolf, questioning the meaning of life!

"Oh, so you knew to call for reinforcements."

Staring at the group of black-clad assassins that had abruptly appeared at the mountain stronghold's gate, their eyes gleaming with Bloodlust under the cover of night.

Lin Yue finally realized why the Green Forest Mountain army hadn't retreated like the Black Wind Mountain army; it was because Overlord Invincible had called in reinforcements to save the situation.

At the same time, Dragon City Overlord shouted to Lin Yue, "Guild Leader, it's bad! Our people from White Jade Capital have been cornered by the Overlord Guild. Also, Ink Feather and Xia Moyanyu, who were responsible for surveillance at Dingjun Mountain in Xuanwu City, have been discovered."

Hearing this news, Lin Yue's gaze turned icy cold.

Clearly, there were also experts within the Overlord Guild; otherwise, it would be hard to see through Lin Yue's layout in just over ten minutes.

"You go support the White Jade Capital members first. I'll handle the rest."

After giving Dragon City Overlord his instructions, Lin Yue immediately contacted Feng Yun and Young Master Leng.

At this point, he definitely couldn't break away in time. He could only have Young Master Leng send some people over first to repel the enemies.

As for Ink Feather and Xia Moyanyu, Lin Yue couldn't think of any good way to quickly support them for now. He could only wait until the battle here was resolved and then teleport over himself.

With Xia Moyanyu's talent, the two of them should be able to hold out for a few minutes.

"Make it quick. If you don't make a move, I will!"

Looking at the aggressive group of black-clad assassins, Lin Yue said without any courtesy.

Although this group gave him a somewhat special feeling, he didn't sense a fatal threat.

"Good, good, good. As expected of the White Emperor, truly looking down on everyone. Then I won't waste words. Remember, the one who kills you is called Greed Wolf!"

Brimming with Battle Intent, Greed Wolf, with a frost blade in his left hand and a Flame Saber in his right, ran at an extremely fast speed. Against the backdrop of the night, he seemed to vanish into the darkness as he charged towards Lin Yue.

Having the chance to fight a top expert like the White Emperor, Greed Wolf went all out from the start, holding nothing back.

As Greed Wolf moved, the four to five hundred assassins behind him moved in unison, following closely behind Greed Wolf, sprinting towards Lin Yue with dual blades in hand.

This reminded Lin Yue of the several-hundred-strong Assassin Regiment he encountered at Black Wind Mountain a few minutes ago. They were all assassins, but the Black Wind Mountain Assassin Regiment was like a motley crew of mixed quality, while Greed Wolf's subordinates were like a well-trained regular army.

With equal strength, the Assassin Regiment led by Greed Wolf could absolutely annihilate the Overlord Guild's Assassin Regiment in seconds.

This was the difference.

"Interesting. It seems [Slaughter] is also starting to emerge, a bit earlier than in my previous life."

Lin Yue had heard of Greed Wolf's reputation. In his previous life, Greed Wolf was ranked third on the assassin leaderboard, below Yun Ruoqing, who was first.

Even so, Greed Wolf's name was known to everyone in later times.

All because within the [Slaughter] organization, Greed Wolf loved to steal the spotlight the most, and his strength was exceptionally formidable.

Based on Lin Yue's understanding, within the [Slaughter] organization, besides Greed Wolf, there were six other powerful figures: Pojun, Jumen, Tianxing, Tianyao, Wuqu, and Taisui.

Each possessed comparable strength and were called the Seven Kill Captains.

As for the leader of [Slaughter], it was quite secretive in Lin Yue's previous life, so he didn't know.

But as for Greed Wolf, Lin Yue was all too familiar with him.

Ignoring the five thousand Overlord Guild members at the Resurrection Point, Lin Yue raised his hand and cast a Thunder Punishment, smashing it down onto an empty patch of ground.

To outsiders, there was nothing there, only dense darkness. It looked like Lin Yue was attacking randomly, but in reality, Lin Yue had already calculated everything.

Boom!

With lightning speed, a violent thunderbolt instantly struck down. Immediately after, black mist surged as Greed Wolf swiftly dodged.

"How is this possible?!"

Greed Wolf was greatly shocked.

He had clearly used his talent to hide within the darkness. How did the White Emperor pinpoint his location so accurately?

Lin Yue, however, remained unmoved and continued summoning thunderbolts.

He understood Greed Wolf's talent—it was a special ability that allowed rapid integration with the environment, providing a significant boost for assassins.

One could say it was a talent tailor-made for assassins.

However, while this talent sounded impressive, it wasn't actually that formidable.

Because experts not only observed meticulously but could also predict.

During Greed Wolf's sprint, the surrounding environment would undergo a subtle, barely detectable change, caused by the flow of air.

Simultaneously, before Greed Wolf fully merged with the environment, one could predict his likely position based on his personal habits.

And coincidentally, Lin Yue loved studying these experts in his previous life, so he could guess Greed Wolf's movements with about seventy to eighty percent accuracy.

Coupled with Lin Yue's monstrous insight, finding Greed Wolf's position wasn't actually difficult.

Seeing the White Emperor not uttering a single word, Greed Wolf refused to believe it was hopeless. He was now only about ten meters away from the White Emperor. Once he got close, he would definitely make him suffer.

Merging into the darkness again, just as Greed Wolf was about to reach the White Emperor, another thunderbolt accurately blasted the spot where Greed Wolf was.

Dodging the lightning attack with a limit reaction, Greed Wolf's face was full of disbelief. "How exactly did you see through it?"

In theory, his concealment method was almost unsolvable; no one should be able to track his movements.

Even the other six captains of the Seven Kill Captains couldn't do it. Yet, against the White Emperor, it was as if he had nowhere to hide.

This feeling of powerlessness was something Greed Wolf was experiencing for the first time.

However, Lin Yue couldn't be bothered to waste words on Greed Wolf. The current Greed Wolf wasn't as powerful as he would be in the future; dealing with him wasn't that difficult.

"Damn it, say something!"

Seeing Lin Yue remain silent, Greed Wolf grew somewhat flustered and exasperated. But the only response he got was lightning so fast it was hard to see.

Barely dodging another bolt of lightning, Greed Wolf felt somewhat drained. limit reactions severely tested physical fitness, as the human nervous system's reaction speed had its limits.

The White Emperor's Casting Speed was astonishingly fast. He had only managed to dodge by relying on his powerful sense of danger and physical reflexes.

But while Greed Wolf could dodge, the members of his organization behind him could not.

Every thunderbolt seemed to have eyes, accurately striking one assassin after another who had merged into the darkness. Simultaneously, each thunderbolt could split into six lightning arcs, hitting other nearby assassins.

In a single second, dozens were instantly killed by the lightning, unable to even touch the White Emperor's body.

Watching his subordinates being picked off one by one, Greed Wolf was furious. If this continued, the quest really might fail.

"White Emperor, you're really treating me like a pushover."

After saying this, Greed Wolf instantly appeared in front of the White Emperor, thrusting his frost blade, imbued with icy power, swiftly towards the White Emperor's heart.

This was a move he was very proud of. The frost blade would inflict a one-second freezing effect. As long as the White Emperor was successfully frozen, he could follow up with infinite combos, alternating ice and flame.

Just as Greed Wolf thought the White Emperor was done for, the expected sound of an ice blade piercing flesh did not come.

The White Emperor's body, like a layer of foam, instantly appeared dozens of meters away.
