Gou Zai Wudao Shi Lian Shen

The heavy snow continued throughout the night.

The entire Chixia Mountain seemed to be buried in a white snow curtain, and the mountain wind swept in from the forest, making the wooden fence outside the herb garden creak.

The fire in the watchtower flickered in the wind, and the sparks were extinguished by snowflakes as soon as they rose.

Most people in the herb garden had already gone to sleep, leaving only ten night watchmen wearing thick fur coats, patrolling back and forth in front of the watchtower and the gate.

suddenly--

Jingle Bell!

The copper bell on the watchtower rang urgently.

The sound was torn apart by the wind and snow, yet it was exceptionally jarring.

That was the bell that connected to the sentry post outside the herb garden. Once it rang, it meant that snow wolves had invaded or mountain bandits were attacking.

"The wolf is coming!"

On the watchtower, the night watchman shouted at the top of his lungs, gripped his longbow tightly, and leaned out to look.

But the snow outside was too heavy.

The firelight shone only a dozen steps before being swallowed by the vast white snow. Further away, the mountains and forests were reduced to dark shadows, like ghosts lurking in the snowy night.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed past the fence, skimming the snow at an incredible speed. If it weren't for the pair of eerie green eyes flickering at the edge of the firelight, its outline would have been almost invisible.

"It really is a snow wolf!"

"Start the fire! Start the fire!"

Lights flickered on in the herb garden, and some people hurriedly put on their coats while others fumbled for torches.

Wang Zhong was the first to rush out of the house.

He put on a thick coat, his knife still unfastened at his waist, and grabbed a longbow from the doorway. A gust of cold wind blew in his face, but he didn't even blink.

"Don't panic!"

Wang Zhong's voice was like thunder, overwhelming the wind and snow.

"Light the torches! Archers, head to the watchtower!"

Wang Zhong looked up at the north slope and heard strange noises coming from the direction of Donglin. His expression grew even more grave.

Lu Chen was also woken up by the ringing of the alarm clock, and rushed out after getting dressed.

"Chief Wang, what's going on?"

In the firelight, Wang Zhong's face was extremely gloomy.

"The snow wolves are surrounding us; they're on the north slope and in the east forest."

Lu Chen followed his gaze and saw that deep within the snow curtain, pairs of eerie green eyes faintly lit up before quickly disappearing.

Like a group of will-o'-the-wisps hidden in the wind and snow.

"Lu Chen, go to the east to provide support."

"I will guard the north slope."

As he spoke, he added a special warning: "Be extremely careful, there might be people from Black Wind Stronghold hiding among the snow wolf pack!"

"They might have attracted this pack of snow wolves!"

"good!"

Without hesitation, Lu Chen took a step forward and dashed eastward into the snow-covered garden.

At this moment, the faces of the several guards on the east side turned pale, and they gripped their spears and crossbows tightly.

"Head Nurse Lu!"

When some people saw Lu Chen arrive, they felt as if they had found their pillar of support.

Lu Chen didn't waste any words, his gaze passing over the wooden fence and landing deep in the snow forest.

There, snow wolves were crouching low, slowly approaching along the snow-covered ground.

They were larger than adult wild boars, their gray-white fur covered in snow, almost blending into the night. Only their eyes gleamed with a ferocious, hungry green light.

A low growl rolled from the wolf pack's throats.

Lu Chen stood guard at the gate, the wind and snow hitting his face, the torch flickering, casting an inconspicuous light and shadow on half of his face.

His body was as steady as an iron stake, his blood and qi flowed like a stream, and his Azure Dragon Force was ready to be unleashed.

He shouted to the warriors beside him, "You guard my flanks and don't let a single snow wolf rush into the herb garden!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, the martial artists guarding the garden felt a strange sense of certainty.

"yes!"

"Don't worry, Nurse Lu!"

Besides medicinal herbs, the herb garden also houses defenseless herb farmers. If the snow wolf rushes in, chaos will surely ensue.

Just then, the wolf pack moved.

The three snow wolves pounced first.

They were incredibly fast, their greyish-white fur skimming across the snow with almost no sound. In the blink of an eye, they crashed into the fence.

One of them leaped up suddenly, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged straight at a young martial arts guard by the door.

The martial artist felt a stench hit his face, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

Startled, he slowed his spear's movement by half a beat.

Finished!

The thought had barely formed when a figure appeared in front of him.

Lu Chen took a step forward.

The Golden Ape Through the Forest's Leg technique flashed across the snow, and the man moved half a zhang to the side, blocking the martial artist's path.

The moment the snow wolf pounced, he slightly lowered his shoulders and back, and used his left arm to parry.

boom!

The snow wolf bumped into his arm.

Any other martial artist would likely have been sent flying on the spot. But Lu Chen's body only swayed slightly, and his coiled dragon body automatically generated a spiral to deflect the force. The impact was like being thrown into a vortex, weakened layer by layer by his shoulders, waist, and hips.

The martial artist behind him stared wide-eyed.

He watched as the enormous snow wolf crashed into Lu Chen, but Lu Chen didn't budge an inch and didn't retreat a single step.

Instead, the snow wolf seemed to have crashed into a large tree, its body tilting to the side, revealing its bare chest and abdomen.

The next moment, Lu Chen unleashed a powerful right punch.

The power of the Azure Dragon flows through the arm.

The fist cleaved through the wind and snow, striking the snow wolf in the chest.

boom!

A muffled thud.

That wasn't the sound of a punch hitting flesh; it sounded more like a heavy hammer striking thick wood.

The immense, dragon-like force instantly tore through the flesh and poured into the snow wolf's body, shattering its sternum.

The snow wolf let out a mournful howl, its massive body flying back onto the snow. After rolling several times, its limbs twitched, and it could no longer get up.

"this……"

The warrior guarding the garden, who had watched all of this unfold, felt his throat go dry.

He held the spear, completely stunned.

"That was a powerful punch!"

Another martial artist standing nearby also felt a chill run down his spine.

This Nurse Lu is too fierce.

He killed a fully grown snow wolf with a single punch.

Lu Chen, however, did not relax in the slightest.

After mastering the Azure Dragon Tongbei Fist to perfection, his blood and qi generated a powerful force as vast and continuous as an azure dragon.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Chen's fist, now enhanced by the Azure Dragon Force, could even pierce through pig iron.

One punch took down one snow wolf, and the other two had already pounced on the door.

He spun around, his body coiling like a dragon.

A single punch swept across the snow wolf's lower jaw on the left side.

Click!

The sound of bone cracking rang out clearly.

The snow wolf's head snapped to the side, half of its fangs shattered by the force of the punch, and its body slumped into the snow.

Lu Chen used the momentum to turn around and threw another punch to his right.

A blue dragon emerges from the abyss!

The force of the punch travels through the waist and back, then flows out along the arm.

boom!

The snow wolf on the right was hit head-on in the shoulder and neck, and its huge body tumbled over like a broken sack, crashing heavily into the fence and sending splinters flying.

The other martial artists around them didn't even have time to intervene.

"Good heavens!"

"You can do that?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Lu Chen's performance was truly ferocious.

Not only were they shocked, but the Black Wind Mountain bandits hiding behind the snow wolf pack were also stunned.

In the snowy forest, a group of Black Wind Village bandits, clad in white fur coats, lay in ambush behind the snow wolves. They were waiting for the wolves to rush into the herb garden and create chaos so they could take advantage of the situation and wreak havoc, finally seizing the herb garden they had been coveting for so long.

But when they saw Lu Chen take down the three snow wolves with just a few punches and kicks, their expressions changed.

"What's that kid's background?"

"Damn it, when did Wang Ji produce such a formidable figure who killed three snow wolves with his bare hands?"
