Chen Nan slammed heavily against a withered tree, his back searing with pain.
He forced himself to stand, a gush of metallic sweetness filled his mouth, blood trickling down from the corner of his lips, a pitiful sight to behold.
"Damn it!"
He wiped away the bloodstains from his mouth, watching the iron-backed grey wolf inch closer step by step, his gaze intensely serious.
The beast's eyes shone with a cunning gleam, evidently regarding him as prey within its grasp.
The grey wolf pounced again, faster than before!
Chen Nan barely managed to dodge sideways, yet the sharp claws still slashed his left arm, instantly leaving it drenched in blood.
"Hiss..."
He drew in a cold breath, urging the True Qi within his body, thrusting a palm strike at the wolf's skull.
Bang!
A terrifying wave of energy exploded forth, yet the wolf agilely tilted its head, causing the strike to only hit its shoulder, failing to deliver a fatal blow.
"Awooo!"
