Although Wang Yan looked extremely weak, the short and stout general remained extremely cautious; his last move was merely a test against Wang Yan.
Therefore, he didn't dare to approach Wang Yan directly, instead, he attacked from a distance.
Unexpectedly, just one move still managed to hit Wang Yan, causing him to be seriously injured once again.
The injuries Wang Yan had slightly recovered with that pill he took earlier worsened instantly.
Upon seeing this, the short and stout general and his companions laughed heartily in relief.
Elder Si Qin, entangled and unable to break free, cried out, "Wang Yan, hurry and escape into Qinrong Palace!"
Blocked by 300,000 soldier terracotta warriors, Fang Jinchun and his allies attacked madly with bloodshot eyes, desperately trying to break through.
At this moment, the fallen Wang Yan struggled to stand up, gazing at the trio of short and stout generals weakly, saying, "Those who kill my brother, die!"
Everyone was furious and clenched their teeth, wishing they could rush to Wang Yan's side and devour the four generals alive.
The trio of short and stout generals inhaled sharply, feeling their hair stand on end.
Even though Wang Yan was extremely weak, the three generals had the constant feeling that Wang Yan was like a beast capable of devouring them.
The short and stout general swallowed hard, suppressing his fear, and said to the others, "We can't drag this on, or accidents may happen. Let's kill him."
Upon hearing this, the other two generals nodded; Wang Yan made them uncomfortable, and killing him early would bring them peace.
Thus, the three generals charged simultaneously toward Wang Yan.
The general on the left raised his hand, executing a soul skill, sending a black light from his palm that transformed into a giant serpent, opening its mouth wide to bite Wang Yan.
The general on the right lifted his fist, releasing a black mist that enveloped Wang Yan.
The short and stout general raised both hands, each holding a short sword with a cold gleam, stabbing towards Wang Yan.
Three generals attacked simultaneously while Wang Yan had just managed to stand up.
The giant serpent reached Wang Yan first, biting into his right arm with a wide open mouth.
With a "crack," Wang Yan's right arm snapped, his eyes widened as cold sweat dripped from his forehead, yet he gritted his teeth without a sound.
Seeing this, Elder Si Qin, Beiming Xue, and others cried out in agony.
At this moment, the black mist also enveloped Wang Yan completely.
As the mist rolled over, even though the inside was unseen, the ground around was visibly corroded, creating depressions.
Holding dual swords, the short and stout general chuckled, "Demon Wolf King, no need to pretend. Your pain now is beyond human endurance; cry out if it hurts."
From within the mist, Wang Yan's gritting voice was heard, "Those who wounded my brother, die."
This tore at Elder Si Qin and others' hearts, causing unbearable pain.
The short and stout general snorted, saying, "Demon Wolf King, now doubly wounded, you remain arrogant. Ultimately, your life ends with me."
Following these words, the general lunged forward, stabbing his swords into the mist.
"Puff puff," two streams of blood sprayed from the mist.
"Brother Wang Yan!" Beiming Xue cried out in agony, her vision blurred by tears.
The short and stout general smiled, "Little beauty, follow me after Demon Wolf King dies, and I promise to treat you well."
At this moment, Wang Yan's chilling, raspy voice echoed from the mist, "Those who wounded my brother, die. Those who defiled my woman, die."
Despite two more sword strikes, Wang Yan's firmness startled the general, infuriating him; he yelled, "Let me see how long you boast; I'll stab you with a thousand swords."
Saying so, the general withdrew his hands to retrieve the swords.
Unexpectedly, the swords seemed rooted in place, refusing to be pulled out.
Startled, the general froze as a strong aura emerged from the mist.
This aura was familiar—it was Wang Yan's.
But Wang Yan was severely injured; how could he emit such aura?
As the general pondered this, the aura suddenly surged, escalating from Initial Tier Demon Venerable, to Mid-Tier, and paused momentarily.
Then, rising like an erupting volcano, it reached High-Tier Demon Venerable.
"Damn, he broke through!" the general exclaimed angrily.
But before he finished speaking, the breakthrough aura swept away the mist completely, leaving not a trace.
Then, the aura rushed toward the general.
With no time to retrieve his swords, the general let go and hurried back.
As the black smoke dissipated, Wang Yan stood revealed there.
Wang Yan, with his right arm clamped by a black serpent, broken, a sword in each side of his ribs, his abdomen soaked in blood, staining most of his lower body red.
Only now did the general realize why his swords couldn't be pulled out; they had lodged in Wang Yan's ribs, which he contracted using his body.
The thought of Wang Yan trapping his swords with his flesh caused the general to shiver.
Despite grave injuries, Wang Yan's realm had broken through.
From Mid-Tier Demon Venerable, he reached High-Tier.
Wang Yan's Dragon Pattern thrives under adversity to break through.
This was supposed to be a Dragon Pattern breakthrough, but a pair of Butterfly Wings complemented it, channeling energy into the Wolf Pattern simultaneously, causing dual breakthroughs.
After the breakthrough to High-Tier, Wang Yan, though injured, recovered his cultivation.
He raised his left hand, gripping the serpent on his right arm, squeezing it.
The black serpent was crushed into two pieces, falling to the ground.
Wang Yan then looked at the short and stout general coldly, and said, "Brother's death, wife's defilement, body's injury—today, you repay them all."
