"You bastard! You court death!"

Being entangled and attacked by a monster that was neither fully human nor beast, Wang Zhifan's anger surged instantly.

He indeed had a cautious nature, but he was also a young man, and whether before or after the transmigration, the same youthful courage flowed in his heart!

Thus, after the previous two encounters, Wang Zhifan, having judged that the monster before him wasn't particularly strong, immediately changed his strategy. He no longer thought about escaping or calling for help, but instead launched a full-scale counterattack.

First, relying on his incredibly swift speed, he sidestepped the fierce assault of the monster. Then, catching a moment when they crossed paths, the gleam of the Wolf-Slaying Blade in his hand flashed, leaving a noticeable wound on the monster's body covered with black and gray hair!

But what puzzled him was that his crazed opponent, after being injured, acted as if it didn't care about the wounds at all. It showed no intention of dodging his attacks and continued to charge at him recklessly, using a desperate fighting style that risked its life. Its sturdy and sharp claws kept aiming for vital points like his neck and heart, forcing him to continue to unleash his speed to fight it off with all his might.

About two seconds later, the duel between the two speedsters had already unfolded nearly ten times. Relying on his faster speed, Wang Zhifan had left seven or eight wounds on this opponent, but his clothes had also been clawed open in several places by the monster in front of him.

But by now, the tall wolf-like monster that seemed to be at a disadvantage became increasingly excited. It opened its horrifying wolf maw and taunted Wang Zhifan in clumsy Xia language with great confidence:

"You... can't... beat me."

Then the cautious Wang Zhifan saw the monster in front of him suddenly heave heavily, and its blood-red wounds vanished and healed as if melting ice, clearly using some rapid self-healing ability!

"Insane recovery... I slashed this guy quite a few times seriously, and I didn't expect it to heal completely in the blink of an eye. No wonder it fought so savagely and brutally... And isn't this thing a wolf-type monster? Why doesn't the Wolf-Slaying Blade trigger the instant kill effect despite slashing it many times? Could its level be above Lv5?"

Wang Zhifan always remembered that his old partner, the Wolf-Slaying Blade, had two attributes: one was a 40% physical penetration effect, and the other was an 80% probability of instant kill against wolf-type enemies, but this instant kill effect required the enemy's level not to exceed Lv5.

Initially, he thought that this creature, which clearly had something to do with wolves, would allow him to experience an instant kill. However, he found that despite slashing it many times, the Wolf-Slaying Blade showed no special reaction, as if the 80% instant kill ability were fake.

"But fortunately, my frenzy buff is already stacked. The few slashes just now didn't trigger double damage; I should be able to hit it hard next. It's just a pity I didn't wear the Fury Gloves, so I can't deal maximum damage."

Here, it's important to note that Wang Zhifan wasn't equipped fully; after returning from working in the Gray Realm, he had changed his wolf-hide armor into everyday clothes, and hadn't worn the Fury Gloves the entire work period, only wearing the Frenzy Bracelet.

Compared to the equipment he used last time working, the only addition was the Ape King's Fury Ring, and he wore it to experience the 15% double damage chance while fighting monsters in the Gray Realm.

After all, he hadn't used melee attacks during the entire dungeon run this morning, so he needed to test the actual effect of double damage in the Gray Realm.

While Wang Zhifan was contemplating, the tall, hairy monster, having fully recovered its injuries, once again launched a fierce leap at him. This formidable enemy seemingly wanted to rely on its fearless nature to crush its opponent, but was Wang Zhifan truly unable to handle such an enemy? Naturally, the answer was no!

"Tiger Slaughter!"

"Sprint!"

This time, while dodging the monster's attacks, Wang Zhifan used both of his active skills: one was Tiger Slaughter, a soul damage enhancement skill from the Tiger Soul True Pattern, and the other was Sprint, a swordsman skill he acquired today after reaching Lv3.

With these skills activated, the battle situation changed instantly, as Wang Zhifan's speed, already faster than the monster's, increased even more. He could more easily attack the monster's vital points, and the soul damage from Tiger Slaughter shattered the monster's once steadfast confidence.

"WTF!"

Just as Wang Zhifan ducked under the monster's swinging claws and slashed its thick waist, the creature that had not taken his attacks seriously changed its expression and let out a foreign profanity.

It was clear that it was experiencing the Lv5-equivalent soul damage Wang Zhifan's long blade now delivered!

Soul damage, as a rare type, had a very specific effect: it attacked the soul of living beings!

As such, this physically resilient enemy with strong healing capabilities suddenly couldn't handle it. It might ignore physical wounds, but it couldn't quickly recover from soul injuries.

For a moment, this creature, caught off guard by Wang Zhifan's hidden capabilities, didn't dare to entangle with him to the death. It turned and pounced on the ground, using all four limbs to race toward a sewer entrance several meters away, intending to flee.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Wang Zhifan had no intention of letting this enemy go. He unleashed his power to increase his speed even further, chasing down the enemy who was fleeing like a dog on the ground in the blink of an eye.

This enemy was also quite cunning, aware that its speed couldn't match Wang Zhifan's. Anticipating it would be caught during its escape, it seized the moment Wang Zhifan closed the gap, suddenly twisted its body, wheeling around, and a thick, hairy arm reached out swiftly to strike at Wang Zhifan's throat with long claws!

"I knew you would try this move!"

Facing the fleeing enemy's sudden counterattack, Wang Zhifan wasn't surprised at all. He never expected this enemy to obediently escape without retaliating, so already prepared, he tilted his head slightly to narrowly avoid the incoming claws. Instead of retreating, he advanced, crashing into the monster's chest, and with the greatest force, sliced the Wolf-Slaying Blade vertically onto the monster's forehead, still in its attacking motion.
