The wolf pack advanced rapidly towards Ye Tian in a pincer formation. Under the command of the Wolf King, these ignorant beasts moved in an orderly manner, resembling a well-organized battlefield formation.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. He naturally did not regard the hundred or so Scorpion-Tailed Wolves as a threat; escaping from them would not be difficult. However, what troubled him was the Wolf King. Given the current situation, obtaining its inner pill would likely require him to eliminate the entire pack. Otherwise, with the Wolf King commanding from the rear like a general, flanked by guards on either side, it would be impossible for him to get close.
As Ye Tian pondered this, the first two waves of Scorpion-Tailed Wolves had already approached him, baring their teeth and growling menacingly.
The pincer formation is a common tactic in warfare; it allows for mutual support and effectively encircles the enemy when in a position of advantage.
However, this was of no use to Ye Tian. This was not a military campaign, and aside from the Wolf King, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolves were not soldiers capable of understanding the subtleties of military strategy.
Awooo!
Seeing that the formation was complete, the White-Furred Wolf King let out a long howl to issue the attack order.
Upon hearing the command, the wolves that had previously formed the two-pronged attack launched their assault. There were quite a few of them, with each group consisting of around seventy to eighty Scorpion-Tailed Wolves.
As the attack began, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolves did not leap forward again but instead moved quickly in and out, soon surrounding Ye Tian.
Ye Tian couldn't help but smile. He had underestimated this group of Scorpion-Tailed Wolves earlier; although they could not grasp the deeper meaning of the pincer formation on their own, under the Wolf King's command, they did not engage in reckless attacks.
"You old thief, come forward and meet your death; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and bringing disaster upon your wolf offspring!" Ye Tian pointed at the White-Furred Wolf King and shouted angrily.
The great battle was about to erupt, but Ye Tian did not wish to slaughter all these Scorpion-Tailed Wolves. All he sought was the Spirit Beast Inner Pill; there was no need for a massacre. Moreover, these Scorpion-Tailed Wolves were merely ignorant beasts with no enmity against him; who could bring themselves to be so cruel?
The White-Furred Wolf King, scolded by Ye Tian, opened its mouth wide and kept stirring as if mocking Ye Tian.
"I warn you one last time, if you don't want your entire clan wiped out, you'd better come forward and accept your death." Ye Tian did not care whether the Wolf King was mocking him; what he wanted was his own peace of mind. There would be no second or third chances. He knew the Wolf King understood his meaning. He had already warned it twice, and if the Wolf King remained stubborn, it could not blame him for being ruthless.
Awooo!
The Wolf King indeed ignored Ye Tian. On the contrary, it seemed to grow impatient and let out a roar, issuing the command to attack.
The encirclement had long been formed, and the pack of wolves awaited the Wolf King's order. As soon as the Wolf King's howl rang out, a One-Eyed Black Wolf leaped forward, aiming straight for Ye Tian's neck.
The one-eyed wolf launched its attack from behind Ye Tian, thinking it had found a blind spot. Its Azure Eyes gleamed with a greedy cold light, seemingly craving human blood.
"Vicious!"
Ye Tian felt a surge of anger. He had initially considered the lives of the wolves, but now this wicked wolf wanted to pounce and drink blood, which infuriated him. Without turning around or looking back, he swiftly raised his right leg and kicked, striking the one-eyed wolf squarely in the head.
With a scream, the one-eyed wolf's head was instantly crushed and flew far away.
Seeing this, the wolf pack hesitated in their assault, growing wary of this human.
Having kicked down the ambusher, Ye Tian snorted coldly and surveyed the wolves with disdain. Not only was he not caught off guard from behind, but even if that one-eyed wolf had mastered some aerial technique, it would not have escaped Ye Tian's perception.
Awooo!
The White-Furred Wolf King let out a roar different from before; it sounded very much like an angry shout. It seemed that the one-eyed wolf had been one of its trusted subordinates, and now that it had been killed by Ye Tian's kick, it was furious.
Of course, its angry roar was not meant as a reprimand or insult; if translated into human language, it would likely be something like "Kill him!"
After the Wolf King roared, the pack indeed rallied again, their eyes gleaming with ferocity as they prepared to fight to the death.
Ye Tian made up his mind and decided to act without hesitation, as he understood the implications of the wolves' movements. If he did not take action to eliminate them all, the end result would be his own demise, leaving him as nothing more than a pile of bones. Moreover, after becoming bones, he would likely be dragged away by them and gnawed on when they were hungry.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian did not wait for the wolf pack to attack; he swiftly charged forward. The Yuqi Tayan Jue technique was activated, and in an instant, he vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he had already bypassed the encirclement and arrived before the Wolf King's "personal guard."
"Old thief, come and meet your end!" Ye Tianqing roared, then unleashed the Bagua Thunder Palm, aiming directly at the dazed Wolf King.
At that moment, there were at least fifty Scorpion-Tailed Wolves guarding the Wolf King. They had been momentarily stunned by Ye Tian's sudden disappearance, but with his shout, they quickly regained their senses. Seeing Ye Tian attempting to harm their master, they bravely threw themselves in front of him to block his attack.
Bang! Bang!
Two muffled sounds echoed as two Scorpion-Tailed Wolves were turned into Blood Mist under the immense power of the Thunder Palm.
Ye Tian furrowed his brow. While he expected the wolf pack to protect their master, he did not anticipate them doing so in this manner.
As he pondered this, the previously encircling wolves began to rush back. Their speed was already considerable, but upon realizing that the Wolf King was in danger, they accelerated even more. However, unlike their earlier organized movements, they now rushed back without any formation.
Howl... Howl...
The Wolf King let out a few low growls; his voice was soft. After calling out, he ran toward the dense Forest, seemingly instructing his pack to hold off Ye Tian to ensure his own safe retreat.
With the Wolf King fleeing, around twenty slightly larger Scorpion-Tailed Wolves quickly followed suit and disappeared into the dense forest within moments.
"This coward can still be called a Wolf King..." Ye Tian was left speechless. The larger Scorpion-Tailed Wolves were clearly heading off to fulfill their duty of protecting the Wolf King. This indirectly indicated that the Wolf King was not only fleeing but also taking away his elite warriors while leaving behind the weak and sickly—certainly not the actions of a wise leader.
Since the Wolf King had escaped, Ye Tian lost interest in slaughtering these "unfortunate wolves" abandoned by their master. He took a deep breath and activated the Yuqi Tayan Jue once more; with a few leaps, he too vanished into the dense forest.
The characteristic of the Yuqi Tayan Jue was its rapid activation, making it highly suitable for both charging forward and pursuing enemies.
In just a few moments, Ye Tian had already discovered the traces of the twenty or so Scorpion-Tailed Wolves from earlier.
"Eh?"
However, upon seeing them, Ye Tian did not feel happy; instead, he was filled with confusion. The group of Scorpion-Tailed Wolves was crouched on the ground, each one sniffing the air and panting softly, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Could there be other beasts ahead?" Ye Tian wondered as he gazed into the distance. After a moment, he realized that the hostility of the Scorpion-Tailed Wolves was directed at him. There were two reasons for this conclusion: first, he did not see the White-Furred Wolf King among the pack, indicating that it had already retreated. If there were stronger beasts ahead, it would never leave alone. Second, considering the habits of the Wolf King, it likely felt that it could not escape Ye Tian purely by speed, so it ordered these twenty or so Scorpion-Tailed Wolves to act as sacrificial pawns to buy time for its own escape.
"Beasts are still beasts; no matter how intelligent you are, you cannot compare to humans," Ye Tian thought disdainfully as he continued moving toward the direction in which the Wolf King had fled.
Based on Ye Tian's estimation, the suicide squad left behind by the Wolf King should not pose any trouble for him. Since he could easily shake off the large pack of wolves behind him, these in front would certainly not be able to stop him.
Awooo!
As Ye Tian approached rapidly, the "suicide squad" began to roar, their green eyes gleaming with ferocity.
Whoosh!
However, they only caught a glimpse of a shadow before realizing that Ye Tian had already appeared behind them.
The Yuqi Tayan Jue could not be maintained for long, so after passing through the wolf pack, Ye Tian switched to sprinting quickly. Although his speed decreased significantly, he still did not lose track of the White-Furred Wolf King's whereabouts.
Awooo!
Behind him was the pursuing "suicide squad," and further back were those abandoned by the Wolf King—those weak and injured.
Thus, they chased each other for about half an hour until Ye Tian finally closed the distance between himself and the Wolf King to about ten zhang. At this distance, he could easily launch an attack on the Wolf King using Yuqi Tayan Jue.
However, Ye Tian did not do this. The Wolf King was not slow; in fact, it was quite fast. Throughout the journey, Ye Tian did not frequently use Yuqi Tayan Jue, so why was it being caught up by itself?
"The old thief is trying to pull some tricks again!"
This was Ye Tian's first thought, as the various actions of the Wolf King indicated that it possessed a considerable level of intelligence. Deliberately slowing down could not be for good intentions.
With doubts in mind, Ye Tian did not rush to act but instead followed closely behind to observe. After a while, Ye Tian finally understood the Wolf King's intentions.
"This old thief is being mysterious to wait for the wolf pack behind!"
At this moment, the howls of the wolf pack were getting closer and closer. It was estimated that in about a tea's time, they would reunite with the Wolf King.
Hearing the wolf howls, Ye Tian's heart tightened. The Wolf King actually knew how to use Ye Tian's caution to create confusion. It truly had become wise over time; its intelligence was not just abundant but could even be considered extraordinary.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian no longer hesitated. He raised his voice and leaped forward to catch up with the White-Furred Wolf King. With a single palm strike, he aimed directly at the Wolf King's back.
Ye Tian attacked from mid-air; if this palm strike hit, the White-Furred Wolf King would likely lose its ability to run due to a broken back.
Seeing this, the Wolf King kicked up its hind legs, instantly sending a cloud of dust flying towards Ye Tian's eyes.
