The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 704: Chapter 723 Crisis [First Update]

Such a wild wolf had already developed its own spiritual awareness, possessed demonic power, and could hardly be considered an ordinary beast anymore. Its strength could be said to infinitely approach that of an early Innate Grandmaster, and only a ferocious beast of this level would dare to come close to Ye Feng and his group.

After all, Asuka Hana had already released the aura of a Middle Innate Grandmaster. Ordinary ferocious beasts, upon sensing Asuka Hana’s aura, would only avoid them from a distance and definitely would not approach proactively.

”Roar~~~” The savage wild wolf growled deeply, its eyes glaring menacingly at Ye Feng and Asuka Hana.

”Ye Feng, step back,” Asuka Hana confidently said, ”I’ll handle this creature!”

”Boom!” Just then, the savage wild wolf’s legs stomped down, causing the ground to tremble slightly and dust to rise. In the blink of an eye, it had reached Asuka Hana, accelerating to its utmost speed.

The savage wild wolf raised its sharp claws and struck directly towards Asuka Hana.

Asuka Hana quickly drew a silver dagger from her waist and chopped at the wild wolf’s claws with True Essence swirling around her, emitting a piercing aura, the sound of slicing through air echoing around them.

”Clang~~” Sparks flew as Asuka Hana’s dagger collided with the wild wolf’s claws.

The powerful True Essence struck the savage wild wolf, shaking its enormous body. Despite its size, Asuka Hana, as a Middle Innate Martial Artist, was not weaker in strength. The beast was forced to stagger backward.

”Boom!” The wolf’s massive body heavily crashed to the ground.

Asuka Hana pursued her victory, not giving the wild wolf any chance. She accelerated to an extreme speed, using incredibly tricky body skills. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the savage wild wolf.

Then, True Essence gathered at her dagger, extending a blade about one meter long.

Asuka Hana thrust directly at the wild wolf’s belly, which had no chance to dodge.

”Splat~~” Blood spurted out as a large hole appeared in the wild wolf’s body, with blood continuously flowing from the wound. The wild wolf’s eyes revealed pain.

”Roar~~” Agonized howls resounded through the forest. The wild wolf’s gaze became even more fierce, and it launched a desperate counterattack. Enduring the pain, it opened its bloodied jaws wide, biting fiercely towards Asuka Hana.

However, Asuka Hana remained relaxed, advancing rather than retreating. She raised her dagger and thrust at the savage wild wolf in the blink of an eye.

”Stab!” Before the wild wolf could bite her, Asuka Hana’s dagger had already pierced the wolf’s eye, going through the eye and penetrating the wolf’s brain.

”Whimper, whimper, whimper~~” The wild wolf let out several wails before it collapsed on the ground, dead.

Asuka Hana looked at the dead wild wolf with a relaxed and disdainful expression.

A beast would always be a beast. Even though its strength and speed were comparable to an early-stage Innate Grandmaster, its combat methods were far too simplistic. Asuka Hana could easily see through them, and naturally, she could easily slay it.

Asuka Hana confirmed that the beastly Wild Wolf was indeed dead, and naturally, she let her guard down, retracting her dagger.

”Hisss Hisss Hisss~~” Just at that moment, a chilling breath spread all around.

Within the forest, a dark shadow charged straight toward Ye Feng, its speed incredibly swift.

Upon a closer look, it turned out to be a poisonous snake—and the size of that snake was a whopping seven to eight meters in length!

Having spent a long time in the Southern Border, Ye Feng could immediately tell what kind of snake it was—it was none other than a Five-step Snake.

How terrifying the venom of the Five-step Snake was could be inferred from its name, which implied that after being bitten, one wouldn’t live to take more than five steps. Of course, this was an exaggerated saying, but it showed the lethality of its venom.

Yet this Five-step Snake was so huge, with a body as thick as a thigh and a length of seven to eight meters, putting it on par with an average python. This made it clear how extraordinary the Underground Forest was.

Under normal circumstances, even scouring the entire Southern Border wouldn’t yield a Five-step Snake of such size, and a bite from a snake of this caliber could indeed make it a real challenge to walk away with one’s life after only five steps.

The Five-step Snake seemed to sense that Ye Feng posed a lesser threat, so it chose to attack him.

However, Ye Feng had spotted the Five-step Snake from the very beginning and simply regarded it indifferently.

Letting the Five-step Snake continue moving toward him, he showed not the slightest trace of fear.

”Ye Feng, be careful!” Asuka Hana yelled out in alarm, her face showing signs of tension.

Watching Ye Feng stand motionless, Asuka Hana feared he was either too scared to know what to do or that he hadn’t even realized what was happening, as the Five-step Snake was about to strike.

But Ye Feng wasn’t the least bit worried. For him, this Five-step Snake, comparable to an Innate Grandmaster, posed no threat at all. With just a raise of his hand, he could easily slay it.

”Ye Feng!” Asuka Hana bellowed, instantly pushing her speed to the limit.

Yet Asuka Hana knew it was too late. She immediately drew upon all the True Essence in her body, which vibrated intensely. In a mere moment, boundless True Essence converged onto her arm.

Holding a dagger in her hand, she then hurled it forth. Wrapped in True Essence, the dagger’s speed soared to the extreme, piercing through the Sound Barrier, and a crisp snapping sound erupted in the air.

The dagger, like a bolt of lightning with a red glow in the night, turned into a dark streak.

”Thwack!” Just when the Five-step Snake was about to hit Ye Feng, the dagger instantly penetrated the snake’s head. With a painful wail, the serpent’s body shot backward along with the dagger.

”Boom!” The Five-step Snake was pinned against a thick tree not far behind by Asuka Hana’s dagger, lifeless. Seeing this scene, Asuka Hana finally breathed a sigh of relief.
