That was the howl of its kind.
At this moment, the Snow Wolf King noticed that the battle around had completely ended.
Its four eighth-level subordinates had all been defeated and were now under the control of their opponents. Among them, the strongest three-headed, three-tailed great wolf lay on the ground, barely breathing, its beautiful fur soaked in blood.
The frozen earth of the ice field had one advantage: it rarely got covered in dust.
The ferocity of the Snow Wolf King immediately diminished.
As a ninth-level lifeform, its strength did not mean it was alone, especially for a creature like the Snow Wolf King that was accustomed to living in packs. A part of its power and reputation stemmed from its companions.
Especially on the ice fields, while the overall number of mutated lifeforms might not be as high as in warmer, more humid places, they were generally stronger.
Moreover, numbers are relative; each place has its unique lifeforms.
In this situation, if the Snow Wolf King wanted to maintain its status, its subordinates were a crucial support.
Why, among the ninth-level lifeforms, did the Snow Wolf King dare to instigate chaos in Black Dragon City while the Man-Bear King could only watch from a distance? The number of loyal subordinates was the fundamental difference.
Now, with all its high-level subordinates under control, the Snow Wolf King's anger was rising, but its ferocity was waning.
It was unwilling to sacrifice its subordinates like this.
At the same time, it felt an unsettling fear regarding the strength of this human subordinate.
The Snow Wolf King understood its partners very well; they were significantly weaker than itself, but they were all elites among lifeforms of the same level. Their speed, attack, and organization were all exceptionally outstanding, yet they had been subdued in a short time, which indicated the ferocity of their opponents.
If these humans turned to encircle it… The Snow Wolf King didn’t believe they could kill it, but it seemed it wouldn’t be able to do anything to them either. If it fought desperately for a result, perhaps it could kill them all, but what about itself?
The Snow Wolf King hesitated to imagine how the other eighth-level lifeforms would treat it if it were heavily injured.
Killing it and eating it… that would likely be the outcome.
Thus, it was angry, but its fighting spirit had diminished greatly.
“Human, you are clever, and your subordinates are clever, but you must understand who you are facing!”
The Snow Wolf King slightly lowered its body, still maintaining a posture that suggested it wanted to attack.
But anyone could hear the weakness in its tone.
This wolf king was reluctant to part with its subordinates.
Ye Zhongming slowly stood up; his arms had improved significantly. He picked up Wind and Thunder Twin Birth, and due to his lineage, his eyes were pitch black as he looked at the Snow Wolf King and said, “I can't just let such a great opportunity to kill a ninth-level lifeform slip away.”
After speaking, he waved his hand.
His intention was clear: to kill these defeated lifeforms.
“If you dare, I will kill all of you!” The Snow Wolf King’s anger made its fur stand on end.
“Truly clueless.”
Ye Zhongming shook his head and signaled for his subordinates to continue.
“Wait!” The Snow Wolf King nearly roared.
The sharp weapons were already at the necks of the great wolves.
The Snow Wolf King took several deep breaths, its abdomen visibly rising and falling, clearly in a state of intense emotional fluctuation.
“State your conditions.”
Ye Zhongming fell silent.
Did he want to kill the Snow Wolf King?
Yes, he wanted it very much.
Aside from the secret realm, Cloud Summit had never killed a ninth-level lifeform. However, with everyone evolving, killing a ninth-level had become part of the plan. Once Ye Zhongming dealt with the spirit woman, the plan would be set in motion, marking the formal beginning of his journey on the nine-star path.
However, killing a ninth-level lifeform was not easy. Ye Zhongming, Xia Lei, Guangyao, Mo Ye, and many other core members had simulated many times, hoping to rely on Cloud Summit's own strength to kill a ninth-level lifeform, but the losses would be tremendous.
