Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 124 Slaying the Wolf King

"He Nian, you heartless bastard, is this how you repay my father's kindness from back then?!"

Knowing that his plan had been exposed, Mu Li did not panic too much. Instead, he took the initiative and shifted all the blame onto He Nianxiang.

He Nian acted quickly, catching not only Mu Li off guard, but also most of the mercenaries.

Even the mercenaries following closely behind Muli were no exception.

Furthermore, the powder used to lure the Blue Moon wolves was almost colorless, making it even less noticeable.

This gave Muli the opportunity to muddy the waters.

Without the medicinal powder to attract the Blue Moon wolves, he alone had little chance of escaping alive.

Therefore, he must recruit more mercenaries to take the fall!

Upon hearing this, most of the mercenaries around looked at He Nian with astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.

After all, He Nian had always appeared to be a loyal and reliable mercenary in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

At this critical juncture, his sudden drawing of his sword against Young Commander Mu Li inevitably raises questions.

"So noisy!"

He Nian had no desire to get entangled with Mu Li at this moment. He could feel that the aura of the Azure Moon Wolf King was constantly locked onto him and Mu Li.

Clearly, they regarded the two people with the highest cultivation levels present as the best nourishing food!

"No matter how much you whine, I won't kill you; that Azure Moon Wolf King will devour you alive on the spot!"

"Maintain formation!"

He Nian's loud shout brought up another, more important question.

This also made all the mercenaries present understand that now was definitely not the time to make concessions.

The subsequent fierce attack by the Azure Moon Wolf Pack confirmed He Nian's judgment.

Seeing that his plan had failed, Mu Li had no choice but to reluctantly join the formation to deal with the Blue Moon Wolf pack that had already rushed within three zhang of them.

Faced with a shared life-or-death crisis, Muli had no choice but to go all out.

But his resentment towards He Nian grew stronger and stronger.

With two high-level fighters, He Nian and Mu Li, ordinary first-tier Azure Moon wolves posed little threat to them.

Apart from the Azure Moon Wolf King, which had clearly only recently advanced to the second tier.

At this moment, the second-tier Azure Moon Wolf King, with the help of the wolf pack, arrived in front of He Nian and the others.

The Azure Moon Wolf King's gaze kept shifting between He Nian and Mu Li, as if choosing the first target to attack.

He Nian's cultivation level was higher, and his internal fighting spirit was richer, making him a food that better suited the Qingyue Wolf King's tastes.

However, He Nian emanated a premonition that caused a slight sting to the soul of the Azure Moon Wolf King. After much thought, the Azure Moon Wolf King finally fixed its cunning gaze on Mu Li on the other side.

Mu Li was using his longsword to force back an overconfident Azure Moon Wolf when he suddenly felt a chilling sensation as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.

He turned his head and saw that the Azure Moon Wolf King, which had been circling in He Nian's direction, had somehow arrived in his direction.

Those eyes, radiating a faint blue light, revealed an undisguised and intense appetite.

"hateful!!"

Mu Li cried out in shock and anger. The fear of being chased by the Blue Moon Wolf pack, coupled with the exhaustion from resisting the wolf pack's attack, left him no time to consider his own mental imbalance.

He barely hesitated, and with a fierce burst of fighting spirit, he swung his longsword repeatedly, killing another first-tier Azure Moon Wolf. Then, the remaining fighting spirit transformed into a sharp sword beam, slashing horizontally towards the Azure Moon Wolf King.

However, Muli's sudden outburst completely disrupted the original defensive rhythm of the formation.

The Azure Moon Wolf King easily dodged Mu Li's slash, while the Azure Moon Wolves around it, which Mu Li had ignored, pounced on two mercenaries who had no time to react.

A scream erupted along with spurting blood, and a stream of heat sprayed directly onto Mu Li's face, completely igniting the terror in his heart.

"ah-!"

With a desperate cry, Mu Li disregarded everything else and fiercely swung his longsword, slashing and killing the surrounding Azure Moon Wolves.

Not only did it further exacerbate the depletion of their own battle aura, but it also tore an even larger gap in the already fragile formation.

"idiot!"

Noticing all this, He Nian could only curse angrily, but she was powerless to stop it.

In the next instant, the formation was completely disrupted.

The Azure Moon Wolf King suddenly opened its blood-red maw and bit at Mu Li, whose fighting spirit was already sluggish and whose movements were stiff.

"ah--!

"6

With a single blow, Muli's left arm was bitten off by the Azure Moon Wolf King.

With their formation broken, the Wan Yao Zhai members, who had been protected, were completely exposed to the Qingyue wolves.

In the chaos, Little Fairy Doctor was pushed out of the original protective center by the crowd and fell heavily to the ground.

Mu Li happened to see this scene, and at that moment, the two were not far apart.

Therefore, Mu Li had no more thoughts of pity for her. He endured the excruciating pain of his severed arm, grabbed Little Fairy Doctor with his remaining right hand, and suddenly pulled her towards the direction of the Azure Moon Wolf King!

Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed in surprise, but she was completely unable to resist Mu Li's desperate outburst at this moment.

Seeing this, He Nian disregarded everything else and suddenly unleashed his fighting spirit. He swung his sword to clear away the pack of Azure Moon wolves blocking his way and turned to charge towards the Azure Moon Wolf King.

He Nian leaped into the air, holding his sword high above his head with both hands. All the fighting spirit in his body was concentrated on the long sword in his hands, making the already sharp blade even more dangerous and fierce.

The fighting spirit on the longsword surged, no longer illusory like gas, but gradually took on a substantial shape, transforming into a layer of fighting spirit veil that radiated a dazzling blue light, merely swirling and lingering around the sword.

The Fighting Spirit Gauze Robe is the mark of a Fighting Master.

This also means that He Nian's combat skills have now reached the level of a Battle Master.

Although this state cannot be maintained for long, it is enough for fighting the newly advanced Azure Moon Wolf King!

Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the longsword in He Nian's hand, the Azure Moon Wolf King ignored Little Fairy Doctor and Mu Li, who were right in front of him, and even spat out the half-chewed arm of Mu Li.

The Azure Moon Wolf King's fighting spirit erupted instantly, transforming into a crescent moon that illuminated its body, its fur also tinged with a chilling azure light. Then, it opened its fangs and iron maw, filled with blood and bits of flesh, and raised its head to meet He Nian, who was also wielding a sword and slashing down with all its might.

boom!

Two opposing forces of fighting spirit suddenly erupted, followed by a clash between steel and sharp teeth.

Neither side retreated; both launched all-out attacks at this moment.

The Azure Moon Wolf King was overconfident in his strength and could handle the situation, while He Nian knew that he could not retreat, because once he retreated, he would have no chance to kill the Azure Moon Wolf King in front of him.

A sword suddenly slashed down, and the terrifying recoil force almost shattered He Nian's longsword. However, He Nian neither adjusted his body to dissipate the force nor unleashed his fighting spirit to deal with it.

Instead, he absorbed all of this strong backlash into his body and forcibly blocked it with his battle qi.

Using this power, he suddenly turned around and slashed at the Azure Moon Wolf King again without pausing for a moment!

The force of the backlash that he had briefly blocked with his battle qi was now unleashed!

The force of the sword's downward strike suddenly increased.

This sword strike successfully landed on the right eye of the Azure Moon Wolf King, abruptly repelling its attack!

The next moment, He Nian used the same trick again.

With a new wave of recoil, the longsword in his hand suddenly slashed down at the Azure Moon Wolf King, who had not yet reacted!
