Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Suddenly, from the troop near Yang Yu and his comrades, several horse-shaped demons burst forth, neighing loudly.

Their bodies were strong and powerful, their white fur drifting fiercely with the cold wind, leaving deep hoofprints in the snowy ground as the beastmen heard the unrestrained sounds of their hooves from afar.

The speed of these horse-shaped demons was not inferior to that of the Silver Wolf tribe, but unfortunately, they were far fewer in number, only five in total, each carrying four to six people who were all Luo Ze elites.

”They’ve also come up with corresponding countermeasures.

Do they intend to use their elites to contain us and prevent our retreat?”

Lightly patting Lotcar’s back, Yang Yu spoke a few words to the troops behind him, intending to wait until this unit was close enough before joining forces with his troops to fight the enemy.

At that moment, Yang Yu saw a black figure stand up on one of the horse-shaped demons and suddenly vanish from atop the horse with a ”whoosh.”

Yang Yu focused his gaze and caught a fast-moving shadow on the snowy plains.

Before he could make out the size of the shadow, it had disappeared abruptly against the stark white snow.

A straight line of footprints was left on the snow, charging directly toward Yang Yu.

From between Lotcar’s manes, Yang Yu pulled out He Meng and tossed him forward, using ”Support Charge” to land on the snowy ground while shouting loudly to the troops behind:

”Retreat!”

Before Yang Yu’s elite troops could react, Yang Yu had already crouched down, arranging his shield in front of him.

A masked young girl with long straight black hair suddenly appeared out of thin air, her hair dancing in the air as she held a sword in both hands and stabbed at Yang Yu’s shield.

Yang Yu executed both ”Shield Block” and ”Climbing” at the same time, and in an instant, a cold shockwave erupted, centered on Yang Yu and the girl, lifting the nearby ice and snow.

A smile appeared on Aslit’s face from beneath her mask, ”I didn’t expect such a swift reaction, you even detected the direction of my attack, you truly have some skill. Don’t bore me again.”

The force on the shield was much heavier than expected, and upon closer inspection, a sharp point had actually pierced the shield.

”It’s not a big deal, I just happened to know the skill you just used, that’s all.”

Yang Yu was telling the truth, as soon as Aslit disappeared, his mind had rapidly flickered through the skills Aslit might use, eventually locking onto one called ”Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping.”

This skill could conceal one’s figure and allow for long-distance straight-line sprints.

Not only this skill, but Yang Yu also took note of all skills that temporarily render one invisible.

Indeed, in terms of straight-line distance, ”Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping” had the longest reach.

The girl’s ability to appear in front of him just before the skill ended made Yang Yu aware that this girl was no ordinary opponent.

Yang Yu swiftly took in the attributes of the girl standing before him.

Aslit Doreen

Luo Ze Elite, ranked 49th on the Genius List in the year 414, the second genius of the Broken Wind Style

Level: LV77 HP: 7941/7941 MP: 2562/3854

Strength 1845, Defense 658, Intelligence 357, Special Defense 604, Agility 1082, Endurance 754

Special: [Charming Girl LV.1]

Resistance: 10% Magic Resistance, 40% Wind Attribute Resistance]

Seeing the long list of titles, Yang Yu was stunned for a moment.

Here, he had actually encountered a member of the new generation’s Genius List.

What he cared more about, however, was that Aslit possessed nearly 2000 Strength and over 1000 Agility.

These attributes, no matter how you looked at them, already belonged to a General Level.

If he hadn’t used ”Climbing” to firmly grip the ground with his feet, Aslit’s strike would have been enough to knock Yang Yu back several meters.

Retracting his knife, Aslit stepped back and sheathed his long knife, rotating 90 degrees.

”Now, can you take this move of mine?”

Having perused a large number of skill books previously, Yang Yu knew about the Broken Wind Style; they would use extremely fast swordsmanship to overwhelm their opponents with a storm of rapid strikes, leaving no chance to counter.

Moreover, many skills in this style carried a certain armor-piercing effect.

If one changed class to a Swordsman, that would be an excellent school to adopt.

From this stance, Yang Yu could tell that Aslit intended to use the Secret Technique of the Broken Wind Style.

This skill could not only launch a series of sword strikes to bombard the enemy but also release several invisible Wind Blades to pursue, which was extremely tricky.

Yang Yu took a deep breath, thankful that he had upgraded his Speed, allowing him the chance to deal with this attack.

”Broken Wind Style. Secret Technique. Formless.”

Based on the length of Aslit’s blade and arm, Yang Yu estimated Aslit’s approximate attack range and continuously retreated several steps.

Aslit’s sharp Sword Blade swayed in front of Yang Yu but never actually made contact with his body.

Yang Yu completely dodged the first segment of damage, but he could only choose to tank the second segment of Wind Blades nearby.

Bai Jin and the others hadn’t retreated yet, and if he made a certain evasive move at this time, he would indeed avoid several Wind Blades, but these invisible blades would surely head toward the troops behind him.

Under the assault of the strong winds, Yang Yu was suddenly blasted back several meters, his chest showing several blood-red slashes.

”To avoid those sword strikes, you indeed have some skill...”

Before Aslit could finish speaking, Yang Yu pushed off the ground, the Sword Blade attracting dark shadows as he suddenly accelerated toward Aslit.

Aslit was first surprised that Yang Yu could adjust his mindset so quickly, then immediately used his Speed to dodge; the black Sword Blade grazed past his mask.

Aslit crouched down to try and draw the blade sheathed at his waist, aiming to counterattack at Yang Yu’s abdomen.

However, Yang Yu continued to take advantage of the momentum generated by the sword swing, catching Aslit’s opening, lifting his leg, and kicking the blade that Aslit had just pulled out halfway.

A powerful force suddenly transmitted from Aslit’s abdomen; she slightly bent her legs forward, using her tiptoes to cushion the force, barely managing to avoid being kicked flying and merely retreating a few meters.

Yet Yang Yu’s attack was not over; while the black glow on the Sword Blade had not completely dissipated, Yang Yu again took advantage of his slightly higher Speed to launch a surprise attack.

Seeing Yang Yu’s Sword Blade approaching, Aslit ducked her body and used the skill ”Avoidance Acceleration,” dodging Yang Yu’s attack while also significantly boosting her own Speed.

She swung her Sword Blade to counterattack,

”Broken Wind Style. Storm.”

A surge of cyan Magic Power leaped from the hilt grasped by Aslit, blowing over the sharp blade as if it intended to sever everything in the world.
