But its reaction was extremely fast.
Its tail, like a steel whip, bristled with fur standing up like blades, lashed fiercely towards Lou Yi!
'Whoosh!'
A sharp sound sliced through the air.
If an ordinary martial artist were hit, they would surely be torn in half.
"Swift!"
Yet Lou Yi remained unflustered, operating the Light Body Technique he had already achieved to a minor level.
At the same time, his legs swelled, with spiral muscles forming around his knees.
His whole body leaped sideways like a spring, easily dodging the wolf demon's strike.
"Again!"
Lou Yi launched a second attack, this time his fist's ulna turned jade white.
'Bang!'
"Awooo!"
The flesh hit by Lou Yi's fist, which was as hard as Profound Iron, instantly caved in, difficult to rebound for a moment.
The wolf demon howled in pain.
Both of its heads opened wide, their ferocious teeth like sharp swords, biting towards Lou Yi fiercely.
Lou Yi nimbly sidestepped and then delivered a third punch.
At this moment, Shi Qingde, who was lying on the ground, seeing Lou Yi desperately holding up the wolf demon, quickly got up and ran towards the edge of the dense forest.
'Bang bang bang!'
'Bang bang bang!'
Lou Yi delivered more than a dozen punches in succession, causing the wolf demon to howl repeatedly.
Even though he pushed his speed to the limit, he was still struck a few times by its tail, knocking down several large trees.
If not for petrifying his skin at the moment of impact, whether he could maintain his intact body was in doubt.
Despite this, a lot of force still seeped into his body.
The bones in his chest ached, likely cracked in many places.
'This monster can't be killed at all.'
Lou Yi understood that he mainly relied on agile body technique to tangle with it.
It was like walking a tightrope.
Even the slightest oversight could lead to decapitation.
And he had nearly exhausted all his trump cards, yet still could not inflict a fatal injury on the wolf demon.
Moreover, since Shi Qingde was out of danger, there was no need to fight.
Thinking of this, Lou Yi suddenly leapt backward, distancing himself from the wolf demon.
The two sides faced off, neither launching an attack for the moment.
The wolf demon's eyes gleamed with a cruel light, wanting several times to bite Lou Yi to death.
But knowing Lou Yi was not to be trifled with, it unwillingly let out a roar and darted back into the forest.
Lou Yi finally relaxed, intense pain and a deep sense of exhaustion surfacing in his mind.
Blood continuously seeped from his mouth and nose, his body a bloody mess, looking quite miserable.
Consumed three points of energy, fully restoring the internal injuries.
Shi Caifeng and others had already rushed up with concern.
"Are you okay?" Shi Caifeng asked with concern, eyes showing a touched expression.
"Alright, but I need a few days to recover."
Shi Caifeng's mouth was still bleeding, but her eyes glimmered with immense excitement: "You actually drove back the Beast King!"
"Not driven back," Lou Yi corrected, "It thought it wasn't worth it to tangle with me."
This wolf demon was too heavily guarded, he couldn't really threaten it now.
Even if it let him hit it while standing, it would take half a day to kill it.
As for the advanced skill Armor-Piercing, he was too lazy to use it; currently unable to kill the wolf demon, it also risked enraging it to a deadly persistence.
Of course, Lou Yi himself had both defense and endurance while being agile. The wolf demon would have to exert effort to kill him.
The wolf demon's intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary beasts; knowing how to weigh gains and losses, it chose not to keep struggling with Lou Yi.
"You're amazing too!" Yan Ze admired, "Even in Full Cycle, one might not achieve what you did just now."
"Full Cycle..."
Jiang Chenyu, Gu Yu, and others were all moved.
With a person like Lou Yi in the Star Phoenix Squad, they no longer had to fear teams like Dragon Soul or Wind Walker.
"Tree Bro, you are my reborn parent!" Shi Qingde couldn't help but give Lou Yi a bear hug, almost going in for a kiss.
Lou Yi disdainfully pushed him away: "Go, go, go, I don't have such a cowardly son."
He turned his head to somewhere, showing a fierce look, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
In the grass behind the forest, a woman was sitting.
With a glamorous appearance, wearing a tight red dress, it was Hong Luan, who had just diverted trouble eastward.
She was seriously injured, still bleeding, so she hadn't escaped far, and Lou Yi caught her easily.
"Young master, thank you for saving me. If you send me back to the Star Phoenix Squad, there will be a grand reward!"
Hong Luan first expressed her gratitude.
Then subtly hinted at her background, adding a layer of protection.
Everyone knew that the Star Phoenix Squad's leader, Tan Lang, was a Full Cycle, one of the strongest martial artists in the Beast Hunting Camp.
At the same time, she unintentionally tugged at her chest, exposing a large area of fair skin, using her charm as well.
Seeing Lou Yi's gaze rise, Hong Luan sneered in her heart.
She had met many such men, wishing to devour her.
This one probably hadn't had much experience with women, how could he resist her allure?
At this moment, others from the squad had arrived, glaring angrily at Hong Luan.
If not for this woman bringing trouble, they wouldn't have been so miserable, almost losing their lives.
But they said nothing, just watching Lou Yi, waiting for his decision.
Seeing the strange expressions of the crowd, Hong Luan felt uneasy, becoming pitifully pathetic.
"Young master, I... I didn't mean to harm you. At that time, I had no other way..."
Lou Yi nodded: "I believe you."
Hearing Lou Yi's words, a hint of joy appeared on Hong Luan's face.
"By the way, I want to ask you one thing. Was it you who told the Xu Family that I killed Liu Hong?"
"No... no," Hong Luan's face changed, hastily denying.
"Hmm."
Lou Yi nodded.
In the next moment, a silver light flashed.
'Puff!'
Hong Luan clutched her neck in disbelief and fell.
The squad members exchanged glances, seeing the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
They had been worried that Lou Yi might be swayed by beauty.
But they didn't realize that Lou Yi had long tempered his mind like iron during Inspector Cao's manhunt.
Hong Luan revealed his whereabouts to the Xu Family, and to save her life, led danger to her own squad, two actions with deadly consequences.
To kill her only once, Lou Yi still felt it wasn't enough.
"Let's go, we can't stay in this place any longer," Lou Yi said.
The Two-headed Wolf Demon, aside from being as strong as a human martial artist, was also a Beast King, capable of commanding ordinary beasts and beast spirits.
Next, a massive unrest would erupt in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range; the wise do not stand under a dangerous wall.
...
Returning to the camp.
The wooden houses closest to the mountain range were shattered, leaving a pile of wooden debris, with bloodstains and fur on the ground.
"Did the camp get hit by spirit monsters?" Shi Caifeng asked a nearby man.
"You are... Madam Shi? Yes, it was. This morning, some Wild Bull Spirits suddenly went crazy, rampaging through here and killing many people!" The man shook his head, sighing repeatedly, "The beast tide is on the way, this camp can't last much longer."
The squad exchanged worried looks, all grasping the gravity of the situation.
If the camp was no longer safe, they could only retreat to the main city.
"You want seven hundred taels for this Hundred-refined Steel Saber? Damn it, why don't you just rob a bank? Are you selling it as if it's Profound Iron?"
"That's how much I'm selling it for. If you don't like it, move along!"
"Hell, I'll blow your head off!"
"Screw you!"
Passing by some wooden stalls.
They found the camp people's tempers had become quite irritable, likely to brawl over the slightest disagreement.
The entire atmosphere was filled with restlessness.
"Something bad happened!" Suddenly, a man rushed in from outside the camp, covered in blood, looking incredibly grim, "The Deputy Captain is dead! They're all dead!"
"The Deputy Captain is dead! His attendants are dead too!" The man loudly reiterated.
"What did you say?!" Everyone was shocked, their expressions changed dramatically.
The Deputy Captain was a real power figure appointed by the City Lord's Mansion to the Inspection Bureau, responsible for managing the entire Beast Hunting Guard Camp.
All Beast Hunter Guards, registering contributions and submitting spirit monster meat after killing spirit monsters, were under his supervision.
How could such a person suddenly die?
"How did he die?"
"Bitten to death by a mad giant wolf!" The man conveying the message had a sorrowful face, "That giant wolf had two heads, incredibly terrifying!"
