Chapter 412 - Assassins!
The Immortal's Wine Store
Cornelia glared at the huge wolf in front of her. It was 9th-rank Saint Forest Wolf!
This wolf normally lived in packs, but there were also times when these wolves hunt alone. The Forest Wolf in front of her was among this type.
With a confident grin on her face, Cornelia adjusted her posture according to Jiu Shen's teachings. She then eyed the wolf while stimulating her anma.
Her true essence cultivation was already at the Nascent God Realm, so this Forest Wolf wasn't a threat to her, but she was planning to fight this wolf using her physical body.
At this moment, her physical strength was already at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint, so she was confident about beating this wolf!
Awoo!
The wolf was quite smart, and when it noticed the strength of Cornelia, it immediately decided to call for backup.
Looking at this, Cornelia merely smirked. It was more fun if there were more of them for her to practice on!
With a light tap of her foot, Cornelia dashed towards the wolf, catching it off guard. She then released a strong punch that hit the Forest Wolf's body.
It whimpered as it rolled a few times on the ground. When it stood up, there was a trace of fear in the savage beast's eyes.
Awoo!
It issued another cry before it bolted away. It was trying to escape from Cornelia after realizing that it was no match for her!
"Did you really think that I would let you escape?" The succubus grinned as she leaped aggressively towards the injured savage beast. She then released a kick that immediately sent the poor wolf flying.
Thud!
The Forest Wolf dropped lifelessly on the ground.
After that, more than a dozen wolves suddenly sprung into action!
"So you've finally come! Alright! Let me test the strength of my physical body!" There was a glint of excitement on the succubus' face as she stared at the pack of wolves.
When they saw their dead ally, the eyes of the wolves turned red and they abruptly surround Cornelia while eyeing her menacingly.
Most of these Forest Wolves were only at the 8th-rank Divine, but there were six of them who were at the 9th-rank Saint. Cornelia could even sense that the strength of the largest wolf was already at the Nascent God Realm! From her experience, she could tell that it was the leader of the pack!
"Not bad! Hehe!" Cornelia became serious when she discovered the alpha wolf. She wasn't sure if she could defeat this guy with just her physical body alone, but she was willing to try it out!
Awoo!
The alpha wolf issued a command and its subordinates growled threateningly as they pounced towards Cornelia. Their sharp claws and fangs glinted dangerously under the moonlight!
"That guy only taught me boxing techniques! I should have asked him to teach me a sword technique instead..." She muttered to herself as she stared at the wolves' sharp claws. She felt slightly reluctant to fight them barehanded as her skin might be injured. As a woman who was particular with her looks, she didn't want to have a scar that would make her ugly.
After more than ten minutes, Cornelia killed the final Forest Wolf with a quick punch. The only one left was the leader of the pack!
The alpha wolf glared at the succubus. Its deathly stare made her feel slightly nervous. Even if she used her true essence to fight this wolf, she would need a bit of time before she can kill it.
Awoo!
The huge wolf was like a blur as it dashed towards Cornelia. It opened its huge gaping mouth as it tried to bite off her neck!
Cornelia swiftly covered her arms with her anma as she abruptly backed off.
The two exchanged moved for a few minutes, and Cornelia ended up seriously injured.
"I'm still not a match for it if I only use my physical body..." She shook her head in regret as she wiped the blood at the corner of her lips.
After realizing that she was no match against the wolf using her physical body, Cornelia immediately released her true essence and attacked it using her illusion arts!
After another ten minutes, the huge wolf fell to the ground with a heavy thud!
Cornelia smiled and kept the corpses of the wolves inside her space ring. Their corpses can be sold for quite a sum, especially the Nascent God Realm alpha wolf!
Just as she was about to take a rest, Cornelia suddenly felt a dangerous sensation behind her! She hurriedly planted herself on the ground while looking at the individual who attacked her.
The person was dressed in dark robes that covered his entire body, making her unable to tell the guy's identity. She coldly glared at the robed person as she asked. "Who are you?!"
The robed individual didn't answer her and instead leaped towards her with another attack!
Cornelia shifted her head to evade the assassin's strike. She could still hear the wind whistling after that attack! This guy was dangerous! She was still injured after her fight with the alpha wolf, but even at her peak, she might not be able to defeat this assassin!
'Peak stage Nascent God Realm assassin!'
Cornelia's heart fell when she discovered the cultivation of her opponent. After that attack, she could tell that this guy was at least as strong as Leaf who ranked second in the Heaven Battle!
"You must be an assassin sent by Lycan Family or the Torgrim Family to kill me!" Cornelia could only buy some time at this moment. Her eyes darted around, hoping to see an escape route when a gloomy voice suddenly echoed throughout the forest...
"There is no use looking for a path of retreat, Your Highness. We have already blocked your escape routes."
Hearing this, Cornelia's hope vanished.. A few more robed individuals suddenly came into her sight. She even felt a few of them from behind her! It was a planned assassination!
