Chapter 25: Exhausted

  Those wolves appeared one after another, ignoring the corpses of their companions on the ground, and rushed towards Su Han with a fierce and pungent breath.

  Su Han urged his inner power and transformed the symbol knife in his hand into a series of knife shadows that slashed towards those demon wolves, beheading them one by one.

  But there were too many of those demonic wolves. After Su Han had killed dozens of them, he also began to feel a hint of fatigue.

  Suddenly, the three-headed demon wolf almost simultaneously pounced on Su Han. Su Han urged the knife light to wrap around the three-headed demon wolf, directly wrapping it into fragments.

  Just as the three demon wolves were killed, a wolf suddenly pounced from one side, taking advantage of Su Han's exhaustion and before he could regain his strength. It bit down hard on Su Han's right leg, and fresh blood instantly stained his right leg red.

  "Ah!!"

  A sharp pain suddenly came from Su Han's right leg, and he couldn't help but let out a painful cry. With one slash of his knife, the wolf was cut in two.

  Those wolves around smelled the taste of human blood, and their eyes flashed with ferocity, rushing towards Su Han one after another.

  Su Han also knew that this was a life-and-death moment, he gritted his teeth and urged the knife light to crazily slaughter those demon wolves, directly beheading one after another.

  A pack of demonic wolves approached Su Han, only to be instantly slaughtered by the knife light. Meanwhile, Su Han retreated while leaning against a large tree.

  Facing the wolf's attack, Su Han simply swung his sword and sheathed it, his internal energy also rapidly depleting with each swing and sheathe.

  What's wrong?

  When Su Han was covered in sweat and exhausted after killing a wolf, the talisman sword in his hand directly collapsed and shattered, and the black sword talisman also turned into a pile of powder and dissipated.

  "Damn it!! To think that my spiritual energy would run out at a time like this."

  Su Han was shocked, quickly grasping the thick-backed great knife in his hand. As soon as he held it, he felt his right hand sink slightly, and had a feeling of being unable to grasp the thick-backed great knife. The internal energy within him almost completely dissipated.

  The remaining three-headed demon wolf sensed Su Han's weakening aura, and with a flash of ferocity in its eyes, it pounced towards Su Han crazily.

  "Am I going to die here?" Looking at the three demon wolves, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Su Han's eyes. Although his right eye had completely captured the movement trajectory of the three demon wolves, he didn't have the strength to kill them.

  Just as Su Han was almost exhausted, the medicinal properties of the 500-year-old old mountain ginseng that had been dormant in his body were finally activated, transforming into strands of internal energy that surged into his body.

  With the support of that thread of internal energy, Su Han's heart was overjoyed. His internal energy circulated and his body slightly shifted to one side. With a forward charge, one knife followed the momentum of a high-jumping wolf and lightly slashed at its abdomen.

  With a swipe, the wolf's belly was instantly ripped open, and fresh blood splattered all over the ground.

  At this time, two wolf-like creatures pounced from both sides towards Su Han's legs.

  Su Han exerted great force and swung his knife, chopping down on the head of a demonic wolf. The thick-backed blade sliced through the wolf's skull, lodging itself within.

  Another wolf-like creature took advantage of the situation and bit down on Su Han's right leg, tearing off a large piece of flesh with one swift motion.

  Su Han summoned his last bit of internal energy and struck the wolf's skull with a powerful palm, directly shattering its brain.

  All the demon wolves were killed by Su Han, and in this dense forest, only a blood-stained youth and a shocking number of wolf corpses remained. The number of wolf corpses exceeded one hundred, and even a master with seven layers of spiritual energy could not single-handedly slaughter so many demon wolves.

  After barely killing the last three demon wolves, Su Han took a deep breath and circulated the Nine Heaven's True Water Technique for one cycle. With his injured leg, he desperately fled towards the distance. He was well aware that there were too many pursuers behind him, and if he didn't escape, he would have no choice but to die.

  After barely escaping for a few hundred meters, Su Han heard the rustling of grass behind him, and it was clear that the reinforcements of those demon wolves had arrived.

  Hearing the footsteps of the demon wolf chasing from behind, Su Han made a decision in an instant: "It seems that I can only try my luck and see if that road is passable. That's my only way to survive."

  After rushing for dozens of feet, a small river appeared in front of him.

  Before entering the Red Leaf Mountain Range to hunt for demonic beasts, Su Han had already thoroughly explored the surrounding terrain and knew that there was a small river nearby.

  Seeing the small river, Su Han gritted his teeth and plunged into it.

  As soon as he entered the river, the icy cold water immediately entered Su Han's wound, preventing his injury from healing, and waves of stinging pain kept coming from his wound.

  Su Han gritted his teeth and swam to the center of the small river, then suddenly dove into the water, frantically operating the Nine Heavens True Water Technique.

  Soon, the grass on both sides of the small river flashed, and a group of wolves jumped out from the grass, with fierce light flashing in their eyes, staring tightly at the small river. Their low intelligence made them understand that the humans who hunted their fellow wolves were hiding inside this small river. However, although the wolves could climb trees, they couldn't swim, so they could only lurk by the side of the small river, waiting for Su Han to fall into their trap.

  In the riverbed, Su Han continuously operated the Nine Heaven True Water Technique, and the water spirit energy contained in the water was slowly absorbed into his body, nourishing it. Under the nourishment of the water spirit energy, the wounds in his body began to heal slowly.

  At almost the same time, a thread of oxygen was also separated from the water and entered his body through Su Han's skin, making the gradually turbid breath in his body clear.

  Originally, Su Han was holding his breath, feeling very suffocated. However, after absorbing the oxygen separated from the water, his entire body began to breathe, and the feeling of suffocation completely disappeared. He suddenly became calm and started practicing the Nine Heaven True Water Technique in the water.

  After the internal force circulated through the thirty-six weeks, Su Han slowly opened his eyes, feeling the abundant internal force in his body. A thread of excitement surged up in his heart: "This Nine Heavens True Water Technique is indeed a remarkable skill. It turns out that this remarkable skill has an effect three times better when cultivated underwater than in other places. Moreover, after cultivating this remarkable skill, even a master-level expert would not be my match in the water."

  Su Han closed his eyes and indulged in the novel sensation of breathing underwater.

  After cultivating the Nine Heavens True Water Technique, Su Han's perception in water was more than twice as strong as it was on land. All the water flows seemed to have become his ears and eyes, and his skin seemed to have transformed into countless pairs of eyes, monitoring everything around him. Even with his eyes closed, he could clearly perceive the movement trajectory of fish within a radius of 500 meters.
