Chapter Eighteen: War Wolf Todd
Walking slowly on the main street of Kodo Town, Hua Yun looked at the smiling face beside her, like a mischievous neighbor girl, occasionally chatting with Luna, with a hint of warmth in her heart.
On Earth, as a genius botanist, Hua Yun almost never had time for entertainment. Ordinary people could only see his brilliant flashes of light, but would never understand how much sweat and hardship he paid under that successful glory.
These days, Luna has been transferring water-elemental magic to Hua Yun every day. For a magician, frequent use and release of magic not only does no harm but also allows the magician to have a deeper understanding and more proficiency in magic.
Apart from practicing the Inverse Heaven Technique, Hua Yun was also studying the divine plants of this world. Now, Hua Yun and Luna were on their way to the Plant Master's shop in Kodo Town.
Just as the two were walking down the street laughing and chatting, Luna's brow suddenly furrowed slightly, and she whispered to Hua Yun beside her: "Hua Yun, there are a few people who have been following us from behind for a long time."
"Hmm?" After hearing Luna's words, Hua Yun's face remained expressionless, her eyes narrowing slightly as she sensed the malicious gazes behind her that lingered on her body.
It seems that he didn't offend anyone, Huayun couldn't understand the purpose of those few people behind him. Silently, he led Luna to a small alley beside the main street.
"A few of you, what is your purpose in following the two of us?" Huayun and Luluna stopped in their tracks as they turned into a small alley, saying faintly to the empty space behind them.
"Heh heh, didn't think we'd be discovered, what do you think our purpose is?" A sinister voice sounded in front of Huayun and Luluna, and then several mercenary-like men slowly surrounded them in the alley. The leader was none other than Tod, a 5th rank white silver warrior and one of the four leaders of the Crazy Wolf Mercenary Group, who had clashed with the Li Blade Mercenary Group at the Plant Master's shop.
"Thod, what do you want to do!" Luna's body leaned forward slightly, her magic wand in hand, and the water-elemental magic core that Huayun had given her flowed out a faint blue light from the tip of the wand.
Although the few people in front of her looked ferocious and menacing, as a mercenary, Luna did not have the slightest fear in her heart.
Seeing Luna's movements, the mercenaries of the Crazy Wolf Mercenary Corps also immediately retracted their smiling expressions, knowing that Luna was a fourth-tier water system magician, they did not dare to be careless.
"Brothers, up!" Todd shouted loudly and suddenly, his body bursting out without warning, his legs fiercely kicking off the ground, rushing towards Luna quickly. Meanwhile, several mercenaries around him who received the order also rushed towards Hua Yun and Luna with their weapons in hand.
The giant sword in his hand suddenly burst out a silver-white light, Todd's eyes stared tightly at Luna in front of him, completely ignoring Huayun standing beside him. In his view, among Huayun and Luna, only Luna could bring a threat to himself, while Huayun, hum, this guy who had no weapon in his hand and didn't look strong couldn't possibly cause harm to himself.
"Hydro Blast!" Luna's eyes shone brightly as she finally completed her spellcasting between Todd's attacks, her right hand wand slightly gesturing forward. The fist-sized magic core at the tip of the wand immediately emitted a dazzling light, and with a deafening roar, a massive water dragon suddenly materialized in mid-air, charging towards Todd with a furious bellow.
"Break!" Todd let out a loud roar, the white silver edge on his giant sword suddenly surged violently in an instant. For a moment, the giant sword collided heavily with the surging water dragon, producing a massive rumbling sound.
While Luna and Todd were fighting, Hua Yun on the side was not idle either. With his legs bursting with ancient martial power, his body shape like a long ape exploring the moon, a fierce python emerging from a valley, in just one stride, he had already flashed to the front of a mercenary, his fist moving with intention, Hua Yun's fist, condensed with his whole body's surging energy, was fiercely heading towards the opponent's face.
Under Hua Yun's swift attack, the mercenary only felt a flash before his eyes, and before he could even react, his face was hit with a heavy blow, his entire nasal bone collapsed inward, and fresh blood suddenly gushed out like a fountain.
With a swift motion of his right hand, the mercenary's long sword was already in Huayun's hands the next moment. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and Huayun used actuality to evade virtuality, the sword tip immediately stabbing towards the chest of another mercenary beside him.
Under Hua Yun's superb swordsmanship, the sound of weapons falling to the ground echoed instantly in the alley. In a short while, those mercenaries were already tumbling to the ground under Hua Yun's attack, wailing in pain and rolling around incessantly.
"What?" Seeing the situation in front of him, Todd was shocked and his face changed color instantly.
Today, I was just strolling on the street with a few subordinates when we inadvertently came across Hua Yun and Luona walking down the main street. Todd recalled the hardships they had endured at the Plant Master's shop due to the mercenary group Lǐ Rèn, and evil thoughts arose in his heart.
As one of the four leaders of the mercenary group Crazy Wolf in Kodo Town, he naturally knew that Roen and others were not in the town at this moment, so he followed Huayun and Luluna, preparing to find an opportunity to get rid of these two people.
In his view, with his own strength as a 5th rank White Silver Warrior, he could control Luna, who was only a 4th rank Water System Magician, in close combat. And the few subordinates he brought along, although not the elites of the team, were more than enough to deal with Hua Yun, who didn't look very strong.
Wait until that kid is killed, with his own strength plus several subordinates surrounding him, even if Luna is strong, it's impossible to escape. However, what Todd didn't expect was that the kid he hadn't taken seriously was actually a master, and just as the battle began, he knocked down several of his subordinates.
What a blunder! A huge blunder! Todd now regrets not fully understanding the situation before preparing to attack others, and now he has put himself in danger!
Looking at the slowly surrounding Hua Yun and Luluna, Todd, one of the four leaders of the Mercenary Wolf Pack, naturally understood that the situation was already hopeless. If he didn't leave now, it would be difficult to escape later.
Todd's heart sank, and he let out a loud shout, abandoning Luna and turning to charge towards Huayun. If he could break through Huayun and get outside, he would be safe.
Luna naturally wouldn't let Todd's idea succeed, shouting continuously from her mouth, a stream of water guns constantly emerging from the head of her staff, shooting rapidly towards Todd.
Todd, however, was completely oblivious to Luna's attack from behind, his footsteps unceasing as he dodged the water gun attacks one after another. The aura on his massive sword surged violently, and with a loud battle cry, he swiftly slashed at Huayun who stood in front of him.
A swift sword blade brought up a massive sonic boom in the air, vowing to cut the Huayun standing in front of him into two halves with one slash.
"Be careful!" As a 4th-tier water-elemental mage, Luna naturally saw the severity of Todd's full-force strike and her face suddenly changed color, exclaiming in surprise.
