The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

All these changes happened in the blink of an eye.

From the outside, it appeared as if Chen Guan, surrounded by Shadow Wolves and on the verge of exhaustion, suddenly stiffened slightly, and then an indescribable aura suddenly spread out from him.

The few shadow wolves that pounced at the front were the first to be overwhelmed by this sudden aura.

opportunity!

The sharp light that had dimmed in Chen Guan's eyes suddenly burst forth like a flame that had been rekindled. He let out a low roar, his trembling arm regained its stability, and he swung the blade with fierce force, infused with the newfound power.

This strike was no longer a simple slash at flesh; the blade seemed to be covered with a very faint gray halo.

laugh!

As the blade flashed, the three sluggish shadow wolves were easily sliced ​​open, like butter cut by a hot knife. Instead of gushing blood, the wounds displayed an eerie, ashen color, as if their life force had been instantly drained away.

One strike, three kills!

The remaining Shadow Wolves were completely stunned by the bizarre death of their companion, and for the first time, clear fear appeared in their crimson eyes.

They let out terrified whimpers, no longer caring about attacking, and retreated like a tide with their tails between their legs, disappearing into the shadows of the stone forest in the blink of an eye.

Chen Guan stood motionless, watching the wolf pack's retreating figures.

After a while, seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Su Yuehe finally tried asking, "Are you alright, Chen Guan?"

No reply.

She sensed a vague unease and tried to touch him, only to find that Chen Guan fell backward and crashed to the ground.

"An old coffin?!"

Su Yuehe shook his body violently, and upon closer inspection from the front, she realized that Chen Guan's breathing had already stopped.

Her nose stung with tears as she stared in disbelief at the peaceful, lifeless face of the coffin. She had never imagined that a C-level mission, which should have been a piece of cake, would lead to the death of her classmate.

Su Yuehe's tears immediately streamed down her face, splashing onto Chen Guan's face and spreading the bloodstains.

With trembling hands, she stuffed a handful of colorful pills into his mouth, trying to revive him.

She had to go back...her father...he must have a way to save him...

One breath, two breaths...

Chen Guan opened his eyes and met her sad and sorrowful purple eyes.

Don't be sad.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but unfortunately, his hands were still covered in blood, so while the tears were gone, a bloodstain remained.

He let go of her hand somewhat guiltily, leaned against his own coffin and sat up, while Su Yuehe was so shocked by this scene of resurrection that her mind went blank.

"Chen...Chen...Chen..."

She stammered, unable to even pronounce her name.

"I'm still alive, don't worry."

Chen Guan knew he had frightened the little girl, but all he could do was wipe the blood off his face; he couldn't explain it.

However, this is a world of high martial arts, so let her use her imagination. What she thinks will definitely be more reasonable than what I make up.

Was what I felt inside my body just now spiritual energy? No, it didn't seem like it at all. It lacked the liveliness and affinity of spiritual energy; instead, it was more like... the gray mist from a coffin.

"Chen Guan, are you alright?" Su Yuehe wanted to slap herself as soon as she finished speaking. Did she look alright?

What nonsense is she spouting?

"I...I'm fine." Chen Guan's voice was slightly hoarse. Being brought back from the dead did not bring him any extra side effects, but the weakness caused by the battle just now was unavoidable.

He will not die, but his resurrection will not remove the original negative status; he will simply not die. Fatal wounds will be restored to non-fatal wounds, and that's all.

……

In the distance, the fierce battle between An Changqing and the Wolf King was also nearing its end.

Having lost the support of its own kind and being relentlessly pursued by An Changqing, the wolf king's breathing began to become unstable. Although An Changqing was also seriously injured, he seized the moment when the wolf king's breathing became disordered and unleashed another burst of power.

A golden light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly withdrew his longsword, holding it upright in front of his chest. He then slowly stroked the blade with his left hand, fingers pointing outwards. As his fingers moved, the golden light on the blade quickly receded, condensed, and finally disappeared completely, making the entire longsword look like ordinary iron, even somewhat dull.

The wolf king seemed to sense the unusual danger, its offensive momentum faltered slightly, and its dark golden eyes were fixed on the ordinary-looking longsword in An Changqing's hand, instinctively feeling a pang of fear.

"This sword should not have been used at this time," An Changqing murmured, his voice calm yet carrying an indescribable air of authority.

The moment the words left his mouth, An Changqing moved.

There was no earth-shattering light, no soaring momentum.

He was just an ordinary man, and he thrust his sword forward.

This sword strike looked so slow, so ordinary, as if it couldn't even cut through the air.

But the wolf king let out a horrified howl. It desperately tried to retreat, dodge, and defend itself... but to its horror, it discovered that its body, the surrounding space, and even the passage of time seemed to be locked in place by this sword.

There's no way to avoid it! There's no way to stop it!

This is a lock that transcends the level of power and spiritual energy... a lock on the level of rules.

One sword... settles the heavens and the earth!

The tip of the sword lightly touched the silver hair between the wolf king's eyebrows.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

next moment.

Silently, the tuft of silver hair between the wolf king's eyebrows, along with the skull, brain, and even the entire back half of his head, vanished into thin air, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser.

There was no blood, no broken bones, no flesh.

That's it...gone.

The wolf king's massive body froze on the spot, and all the brilliance in its dark golden eyes quickly faded, leaving only endless emptiness.

puff.

The wolf king's mangled body, missing half its head, crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He was completely lifeless.

Shadow Wolf King, dead!

With the wolf king dead, the shadow wolves in the entire Shadow Stone Forest completely lost their will to fight and scattered in all directions.

The battle is finally over.

An Changqing leaned on his sword, panting as he looked in the direction of Chen Guan and Su Yuehe. When he saw Chen Guan covered in blood, he was shocked.

He was busy preparing to settle things and had no time to pay attention to Su Yuehe. Now it seems that Chen Guan intervened and saved Su Yuehe. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Su Yuehe, if she had forced herself to fight, she would have fainted by now.

The three looked at each other's disheveled appearance and remained silent for a moment.

Chen Guan felt the faint but real power within his body and tentatively decided to call it "Gray Energy".

Gray energy seems to be linked to mental power. Chen Guan clearly saw that the mental power column on his panel was soaring like crazy, even higher than his strength attribute, which was terrifying.
