Chapter 15 - Comprehension of the Wind

Inside the Hundred Beast Valley, there was a forest that was either tall or short, thick or thin.

"According to the Hundred Beast Illustrated Handbook, this is a Ferocious Fanged Wolf, a low-level Ferocious Beast, but its strength is comparable to a sixth level Sword Qi Realm Swordsman." Chu Mu pulled out his sword and faced a grey wolf that was the size of a wolfhound with a height of five meters: "Ferocious Beasts have a stronger physique than humans. Their claws and teeth are even sharper and harder, and can easily tear through flesh. In this aspect, Ferocious Beasts are stronger than human Swordsmen. However, Swordsmen have sharp swords as weapons and swordsmanship as a means of killing Ferocious Beasts. "

The Ferocious Fanged Wolf's four limbs clawed the ground and its body crawled. Its sharp claws almost dug into the hard rock. Its eyes flashed with a ferocious light as it stared down at Chu Mu. Its four extremely protruding sharp white teeth crisscrossed, emitting a chilling aura that made people tremble.

A low roar, like rolling thunder, came from the Ferocious Fanged Wolf's slightly squirming throat. The Ferocious Fanged Wolf's body slightly shrank, like a spring that had been compressed to the limit. With a whoosh, a grey shadow flew over with the advantage of diving. Its raised claws flashed with a sharp cold light, and the suffocating coldness made people's hearts palpitate.

Chu Mu's pupils instantly contracted, and he took a step forward. His body suddenly became erratic, like a willow branch swaying in the wind. The Ferocious Fanged Wolf growled, and its claws continuously clawed at the air. The cold and sharp claws intertwined into a net, enveloping Chu Mu's body.

"Your speed is faster than mine, but I can see the trajectory of your attack. You can't hit me at all." He said to himself. His footsteps were messy, and he quickly moved a short distance on the ground. His body swayed like a willow branch in the wind, and he unbelievably shuttled through the intertwining claws of the Ferocious Fanged Wolf without even touching the corner of his clothes.

He didn't use his sword, and just kept dodging the Ferocious Fanged Wolf's claws because he was practicing his body movement and footwork.

When he was in the Sword Faction, he was able to master the Chaotic Steps and Whirling Willow Steps to the Greater Mastery in just a few days. Later on, he also started to use the Whirling Willow Steps and Chaotic Steps at the same time.

But that was only in the case of practice.

Chu Mu, who was known as the "Youngest Master Swordsman", deeply understood that the results of practice were ultimately just practice. Dacheng could only become the real Dacheng if he used it in actual combat and used it to hone himself in a battle of life and death. Otherwise, everything would just be practice.

So now, he was using the Fierce Fanged Wolf's speed and sharp claws to hone his footwork and body movements, so that he could better use them in actual combat and practice.

 

In the beginning, his nerves were tense and he was incomparably vigilant. He was afraid that he would be scratched by the fierce fanged wolf's sharp claws. If that happened, he would definitely be injured. Thus, his Chaotic Steps and Swinging Willow Movement Technique were a bit stiff. There were a few times when he almost made a mistake in his coordination.

Then, he continuously dodged. His tense nerves gradually relaxed. His footwork and body movements became more and more natural. From the bottom of his heart, there was a kind of carefree feeling of floating clouds and flowing water.

"Awoo …" The continuous attacks of its sharp claws were all dodged by the human in front of it. It didn't hit him even once. This made the Fierce Fanged Wolf furious. Its ferocious eyes turned red. It suddenly opened its mouth and bit. Its sharp protruding fangs were even more terrifying than its claws.

Chu Mu was slightly surprised, but his movements didn't stop. His footwork was broken and messy, but his body swayed strangely like a willow branch. He could advance and retreat freely, moving with the wind and avoiding the Fierce Fanged Wolf's bite.

"Up to now, the footwork and body movements that this Fierce Fanged Wolf can give me have already reached the limit. Let's practice my swordsmanship."

He raised his hand and drew his Sword Light. A bright and cold light pierced towards the Fierce Fanged Wolf as if it came from the sky. The Fierce Fanged Wolf was startled. It raised its claws and fiercely clawed at the Fierce Fanged Wolf. The Sword Light flickered and staggered, causing the Fierce Fanged Wolf's claw to miss. The Fierce Fanged Wolf continued to stab forward.

The Fierce Fanged Wolf fiercely bit down. With the toughness and sharpness of its fangs, the Great Steel Sword would most likely be damaged if it was bitten.

With a flick of his wrist, the straight Sword Light flickered strangely again and staggered past the Fierce Fanged Wolf's fangs. The sword slashed across the Fierce Fanged Wolf's neck.

An obscure feeling. This sword strike didn't kill the Fierce Fanged Wolf. It only slightly injured it. A few strands of grey hair flew off. A thin wound appeared on the Fierce Fanged Wolf's neck, with scarlet blood oozing out.

The slight injury angered the Fierce Fanged Wolf even more. It became even more savage and bloodthirsty. Its eyes were covered with a layer of blood red. It growled and roared, emitting a terrifying and murderous aura. It madly pounced towards Ye Xiwen, as if it wanted to perish together with him.

Chu Mu used Chaotic Steps and Swinging Willow Wind to lightly dodge the Fierce Fanged Wolf's pounce. His eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"With the sharpness of the Great Steel Sword, I can only barely cut open the Fierce Fanged Wolf's fur. If I want to kill it, I'll have to continuously hit the same wound. Although I can do it with my eyesight and sword skills, it'll take a little too long."

 

"It seems that I'll have to use some sword skills to kill it as soon as possible."

The Fierce Fanged Wolf's sharp claws fiercely swept across. Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it rolled up a lot of sand and dust, as if it wanted to cut Chu Mu in half.

However, a strange scene appeared in front of the Fierce Fanged Wolf. As its sharp claws swept across, the human under its claws suddenly disappeared. A hint of doubt appeared in its scarlet eyes. Like a gust of wind, it appeared behind the Fierce Fanged Wolf again. The Fierce Fanged Wolf only felt a sharp murderous intent. A sense of danger made the grey hair on its back stand up. It hurriedly turned around and opened its mouth. Its fangs crisscrossed and bit towards the human.

With a whoosh, Cool Breeze was used. A light green color appeared out of thin air, as if it was a cool breeze blowing from nothingness. The wind made the Fierce Fanged Wolf's grey hair flutter backwards. The wind made the Fierce Fanged Wolf's scarlet eyes almost tear up. The wind made the Fierce Fanged Wolf's throat dry and its stomach bloat. The wind made the Fierce Fanged Wolf roll its eyes when it smelled the stench coming from its mouth.

The sharp murderous intent contained in the cool breeze made the Fierce Fanged Wolf extremely frightened.

However, it was too fast. The sword had already stabbed out. The fierce murderous intent in the cool breeze moved forward in a straight line and pierced into the Fierce Fanged Wolf's wide open mouth. It went straight through its throat and blood splattered everywhere. The Fierce Fanged Wolf only felt a thick and sweet blood gurgling out of its throat like spring water flowing into its stomach.

With a squelch, the tip of the sword pierced through the Fierce Fanged Wolf's fur from the inside out. With a twist of his wrist, the blade of the sword twisted and blood splattered everywhere. The Fierce Fanged Wolf's body twitched and its scarlet eyes retreated. Its eyeballs fell out and turned white. It still wanted to use its claws to attack, but it fell to the ground and its limbs twitched.

Pulling out the sword, Xiao Chen shook off the blood on the sword and looked at the twitching Fierce Fanged Wolf.

"After fusing with the strange wind, the power of the Cool Breeze multiplied. That's why I was able to kill the Fierce Fanged Wolf in one strike. What exactly is this comprehension?" Chu Mu was puzzled. "Since the comprehension of the wind can increase the power of the Cool Breeze Sword Art, then can it increase the power of the basic sword arts? In the next battle, I won't use the Cool Breeze Sword Art. I will only use the basic sword arts and fuse the comprehension of the wind into battle.

 

"It seems that the Hundred Beast Illustrated Handbook said that the four fangs of the Fierce Fanged Wolf can be brought back to the Sword Sect to exchange for contribution points."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he moved to take the four fangs.
