Above Destiny

Chapter 836 Wolf's Mouth
At this moment, in terms of pure numerical values, Ni Lin is actually no less powerful than Da Qun. This is even though he is wary of Ji Jue and has been using basic attacks without using any outrageous techniques to unleash his power.

If combined with Bai Lu's special attack, Ji Jue could probably be torn to shreds in just one encounter!

It's not far off now.

Without a defined social circle, it's simply a matter of time.

Unfortunately, Ji Jue had it.

It's still open.

Bang!
Before the Reverse Scale, which suddenly appeared behind him amidst the raging wind, could even swing its claws, he felt a hand grip his wrist.

They caught the brief, almost negligible pre-animation!

Varied--

Reverse Scale's pupils contracted as it felt a terrifying power erupt from between its five fingers, forcibly tearing apart the outer scales and causing cracks to appear in its wrist.

It was almost torn off by Ji Jue!
When he tried to retaliate, the hand suddenly released its grip.

In the midst of his movements, he naturally spread his five fingers and pressed them towards Jing Zhen's heart!

When he instinctively dodged and reappeared from the other side, he saw that Ji Jue's eyes were already looking at him.

My throat tightened.

A finger crackling with electricity had silently pierced his throat, silencing the roar that was about to rise from his chest and extinguishing the nascent [Sharp Howl].

Ji Jue actually started moving forward.

Counterattack him!

A different approach is needed; simply dodging and enduring attacks is ultimately unsustainable.

Rather than letting your opponent unleash their full power, it's better to... use offense as defense and interrupt their cooldowns while they're casting their skills!

While reality isn't like a hardcore game where interrupting an enemy's actions or depleting their resilience will inevitably create an opening for execution, the resulting disruption is undeniable.

It's just that the pre-animation time is too short and fleeting, making it difficult to grasp and capture.

But now, none of this is a problem for Ji Jue!
The timing is now in our grasp!
Thus, Ni Lin began to suffer the consequences—his charge-up was suddenly interrupted, his movement was intercepted, his lock-on attempt failed, and his distance estimation was flawed...

Feeling restricted and uncomfortable all over!

Even though Ji Jue hadn't caused any damage, he was getting more and more anxious and frustrated, feeling restricted in every way, and unable to even execute a decent combo!

There were no more fierce storms, only repeated probing between the two sides.

Aside from not pushing forward when he throws a ball, he'll throw a heavy punch if you jump. It's just that he's taking advantage of Ni Lin being an honest person. Ji Jue has started to cheat!
Faced with the Wolf Lord's shamelessness and relentless pursuit... he actually obeyed Ji Jue's requests and ideas, suppressing his anxiety and frustration, and accompanied him through repeated trials.

Although I don't understand what the Wolf Lord is trying to do, there must be a reason why he's doing this.

Since the Wolf Lord didn't say to stop, let's continue!
If that's all there is to it, then he could play all night without any problem!
Unfortunately, after a dozen minutes, Ji Jue was the first to give up.

After getting used to the way he dealt with things, his experience began to diminish, and his restrained and stubborn nature could no longer exert the same high pressure he had initially.

After roughly grasping the techniques of applying the circle, he also had a glimmer of ideas and thoughts on the application and introduction of "Mogu".

If this continues, besides bullying honest people, it will also foster bad habits and instinctive reactions.

"Inayat".

Ji Jue paused, then suddenly asked, "Can it get any stronger?"

"..."

Reverse Scale hesitated for a moment, and the ferocious beast fell into a dilemma.

[Stripping bones], [Mutilated form], [Destruction], [Extinction]...

Too much.

Some tactics, once unleashed, are sure to cause destruction. But if they aren't imbued with genuine malice and a life-or-death determination, they're nothing but empty gestures.

After a brief hesitation, Ni Lin sighed, "If you insist."

“What if I said ‘circle’?” Ji Jue asked.

"……I see."

Ni Lin lowered his head and gave a final reminder: "I know that even if I object, it will probably be useless, so please be careful."

In that instant, the last rays of twilight faded, and the world grew dark.

In the pitch-black night, the stars disappeared, replaced by an endless crimson, a blood-red swirling and flowing color that filled the sky and swallowed everything!
Sharp, knife-like blood rained down, covering everything. And endless blades, like teeth, pierced through the scorched earth, rising and falling in a jagged, continuous line.

The oncoming gale carried ash like a blizzard, and the scorching air was like a torrent gushing from a furnace.

It was as if, in an instant, I had fallen into hell and become an enemy of the entire world.

But even with all their struggle, it was no use...

He has already fallen into the wolf's mouth!
The blood-red sky and scorched earth are now the gaping maw of a wolf, the torrential rain and sharp blades are its razor-sharp teeth, and the scorching winds are its breath.

The moment the circle appeared, all the remaining spiritual energy vanished without a trace. Even Ji Jue's own spiritual energy began to plummet rapidly, and it would be completely drained in just a few seconds.

There was simply no way to resist.

Now that they are already trapped in the wolf's den, the essence of this inheritance will permeate every 'prey'!

All that follows, the tearing and pulling, is nothing more than inescapable bleeding and torment. The Reverse Scale needs nothing more than to calmly roam and devour its prey completely, before delivering the final, fatal blow!
There was nowhere to escape, and they were at the mercy of others.

"...Has it already been locked?"

Ji Jue tried to move his body to shake off the bone-chilling cold, but no matter how he moved or tried to deceive himself, the cold remained.

"It's quite a novel feeling to be in such a passive position."

He turned around and looked behind him.

Right behind him, amidst the rain of blood and blades, a burning metal wolf slowly appeared, its four scarlet eyes fixed on Ji Jue.

With the overlap of the realm and the reborn form, Inayat has completely transformed into a wolf!
It spews forth vast amounts of flames and souls, yet remains emaciated. It has consumed countless lives and deaths, yet is still starving!

Eternal hunger, eternal madness.

Even if the dense forest is set ablaze and turned into a furnace, before it is completely burned away, this distorted and twisted essence will still exist, and may even be more severe than before!

The wolf in the flames opened its mouth and decisively bit down.

And so, heaven and earth came together.

The entire world closed in, the blood-red sky and the scorched earth collided, like a giant mouth chewing, blood and sharp blades rubbing together, crushing everything into powder!

Amidst the endless rain of blood and clashing blades, the figure was completely swallowed up and never seen again.

boom!!!
The demonstration is over, and the outcome is decided.

Amidst the sound of the realm collapsing, a final sigh rang out.

This left Inayat stunned.

"...In the end, it was still just a little short."

Whether it's oneself or one's Achilles' heel.

When the world fell apart and everything returned to reality, the final outcome was revealed to the two of them.

Inayat, now transformed into a wild beast, had already killed Ji Jue with his jaws. If he put in just a little more effort, he could tear his prey to shreds.

Ji Jue lost.

Unfortunately, even the most ruthless opponent didn't win.

Just a little bit more...

Completely different from what was expected, the giant wolf did not bite Ji Jue's head and body, but only his arm, Ji Jue's left hand!
This is the strangest part. It wasn't that he deliberately held back, but rather that the circle's sure-hit lock-on had a fatal deviation!

If it were a life-or-death struggle, the outcome might be different. Perhaps Ni Lin would have many life-or-death fighting and vicious techniques at his disposal, and perhaps Ji Jue would no longer be confined to his own circle and would resort to any means necessary.

However, if the competition is limited to battles between realms, the result will inevitably be mutual destruction. Ji Jue has lost one hand, while Inayat will suffer severe damage from the counterattack of his other hand!

"Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time."

Ji Jue sighed and pulled his arm out of Inayat's gaping maw. The teeth marks on it were still visible, and a trace of engine oil silently seeped out from beneath the crack.

Just as the two had agreed beforehand, the bleeding would be the dividing line.

That's all.

His own grasp of the realm was still insufficient, making it difficult for him to directly contend with the wolf's mouth, which had been transformed and meticulously perfected by the wolf in the furnace.

They were completely outmatched in terms of skill level.

It seems we still lack experience, and the level of completion is far from ideal. There are too many parts that require grinding and spending money.

Ji Jue pondered deeply, conducting a post-war summary.

Meanwhile, Inayat, who had returned to human form, twitched slightly. Several times, she hesitated, as if she wanted to speak, but finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that? Am I still lacking in any way...?"

"Ah, it's not your problem. The Wolf's Mouth Enclosure itself doesn't have the kind of flaw you're thinking of."

Ji Jue waved his hand and explained, "I should thank you for going easy on me."

Nothing in the world is perfect.

The concept of a "hexagonal warrior" only exists in an ideal state. With limited points, every strength has its weaknesses. Moreover, weaknesses can be compensated for through tactics and skills.

Inayat has been diligently serving as a sparring partner until now, and it can be said that he has let Hai go out of respect for the Wolf Lord. Under the circumstances where he cannot kill Hai, there are simply too many constraints.

This is not his fault.

Based on the functional nature of the reverse scale's circle, he should use his own health bar and toughness to gradually roam and wear down opponents trapped in the circle.

All battle losses within the circle are replenishment of the enemy's weakness—the more the opponent is weakened, the stronger one becomes, and the final trump card should be a complete and utter annihilation.

After the final chew, swallowing begins.

The realm collapsed, heaven and earth merged, and everything that remained was completely digested!
But this is on the premise that the opponent has weakened to the point of having no power to resist...

Ji Jue felt perfectly fine, and even out of respect, Inayat deliberately restrained the wolf from sucking and gnawing at Ji Jue.

That's why he was given room to maneuver.

Ji Jue raised his palm, his index finger and thumb together, drawing a tiny line.

"I only created a small gap."
