Absolute Choice - Chapter 541: Upon hearing, Men cry while Women salivate

Although he felt his balls turn cold, Eventide Great Wolf's heart burned with fury.

The arrow was a sneak attack that Eventide Sixth Wolf had been cultivating in for more than a decade. It lived up to his ancestors' name. The arrow was thin like a needle and black like the night sky. To bore out from under his teammate's hips and shoot straight at his enemy's groin at an odd angle made it unpredictable. It was truly a cold, cheap move!

There was no way for Shi Xiaobai to dodge that arrow!

Indeed, just as Eventide Great Wolf imagined, Shi Xiaobai failed to react in time. With a 'psh' sound, the arrow pierced straight into the boy's pants, striking at the important spot in between his legs!

"That kid is finished!"

When Eventide Great Wolf heard the sound, he turned fervently excited. He nearly could not help but roar out loudly.

The arrow was not only a cold arrow from out of the blue, it was also a poisonous arrow. The arrow was laced with acidic poison and once it stabbed into its target, it would be as if a liter of acid had been sprayed onto the surface of the target. Flesh would issue sizzling sounds and instantly be roasted black. It was already painful enough to be shot in the limbs by such arrows. As for the crown jewels being struck? It was lethal!

Eventide Great Wolf pricked up his ears, eager to hear the tragic cry from the boy.

But after a few seconds, not only did Shi Xiaobai not shout, but he also remained calm. It was as though he did not realize what had happened. There was no reaction at all.

What was going on? Could that 'psh' sound be a hallucination? Was it a fact that the arrow had missed its mark?

Ding! Dang!

Just as Eventide Great Wolf was feeling perplexed, he saw Shi Xiaobai's body suddenly quiver. A black and thin needle dropped from Shi Xiaobai's pants before striking the ground with a sharp, clear sound.

The arrow had clearly penetrated the boy's pants!

But why was there no damage?

Eventide Great Wolf looked curious as he suddenly realized of a possibility. He could not help but draw a gasp.

Could it be that Shi Xiaobai's crown jewels were so hard that a needle arrow could not penetrate it!?

As hard as metal, unbendable in the face of adversity!

Had Shi Xiaobai reached the ultimate state of 'upon hearing, men cry while women salivate'?

The muscles in Eventide Great Wolf's throat flexed as with a gulp, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was envious yet jealous. If Shi Xiaobai was not a nemesis that he could not reconcile with, Eventide Great Wolf truly wished to share a cup of wine with him to know him as a friend. They could open their hearts and discuss...why the heavens were so high or why the earth was so wide, and why you can be so hard!

"Be careful!"

Eventide Second Wolf suddenly yelled, waking Eventide Great Wolf from his reverie. He came round to and was shocked to discover Shi Xiaobai already in front of him. A powerful palm strike was heading straight at him!

Clang!

At that moment of crisis, Eventide Third Wolf's saber came slashing over, helping him block the attack!

Eventide Great Wolf broke out into a cold sweat from the fright. He hurriedly took several steps back. He thought to himself that not only did the boy have amazing combat strength, but the boy also had extremely rich combat experience. The boy had taken the opportunity of that instant when he fell into a daze to strike. He had nearly suffered as a result of that.

He felt a lingering fear and immediately turned furious from the embarrassment he had sustained. In addition to the jealousy of 'not being harder than others', he immediately turned ruthless and forceful.

"Second Wolf, Third Wolf, attack him forcefully and finish him!"

At that instant, Eventide Great Wolf changed his battle strategy!

Eventide Second and Third Wolf were dumbfounded first before they said simultaneously, "Alright!"

The two of them were at the Psionic Might Realm, but against a Psionic Mortal Realm rookie, they had been restrained and afraid to strike out as they wished. They were already feeling extremely disgruntled, but now, the leader had finally changed the strategy. The lack of focus on a methodological approach ignited their fighting spirit once again!

Eventide Second Wolf did not say a word as he was the first to take a step forward to rush at Shi Xiaobai. Retracting his arm before extending it out once again, he thrust his spear out. It flashed a cold beam through the night as though a wyrm came flying out of its cave!

"Nice one!"

Shi Xiaobai was delighted instead of feeling any sense of panic. He was filled with fighting spirit as he took a sidestep to dodge the spear. With his back hand, he swatted away the spear that came sweeping at him. He suddenly took a step forward and with his wrists, he struck Eventide Second Wolf's chest.

Eventide Second Wolf hurriedly raised his arms and used Psionic Hardening to brace against the impact. Thankfully, Eventide Second Wolf had extremely high defensive strength. Although he had been sent retreating several steps, he did not suffer any serious injuries.

Simultaneously, Eventide Third Wolf had already leaped to a spot behind Shi Xiaobai. With hands grasping a saber, he raised it high, conjuring lightning that flashed throughout the sky. He suddenly fell his saber and with a boom, a bolt of lightning crashed down, as though it was a lightning tribulation from the heavens.

Lightning Tribulation Saber was Eventide Third Wolf's death blow technique!

The strike was extremely powerful but Shi Xiaobai did not push the boundaries. He immediately took a step forward and with Proximity Chasm, he appeared a distance ten meters away, dodging the sharp beam.

Eventide Great Wolf had long been waiting in front. He watched Shi Xiaobai dodge Eventide Second Wolf's Lightning Tribulation Saber and dash at him. Shi Xiaobai had chosen to advance instead of retreat. With a loud bellow, he smashed out with his fist!

Winds that accompanied the fist stirred, emanating frost in every direction. It was as though an icy dragon had opened its mouth to spew dragon frost breath. A large swath of land ten meters in front of him was dyed with a layer of cold whiteness!

However, Shi Xiaobai's 'Proud Dragon Repents' was extremely fiery and powerful in nature. The blazing wind from his palm instantly melted the frost from Eventide Great Wolf's punch.

Despite failing with his punch, Eventide Great Wolf did not open a distance this time. Instead, he smashed out with another punch.

This time, he wanted to forcefully go on the offensive!

And on the left and right sides, Eventide Second and Third Wolf had come attacking. With each of them brandishing their respective saber and spear, they attacked Shi Xiaobai simultaneously with Eventide Great Wolf. It became a triple team offensive.

Mu Lengxi could not help but turn nervous while watching from afar. Upon seeing this scene, she nearly cried out in shock. Eventide Great Wolf's Frost Punch, Eventide Second Wolf's Wind Spear, and Eventide Third Wolf's Lightning Tribulation Saber attacked from three directions.

It was destined to succeed and absolutely could not be withstood directly. Brother Xiaobai, quickly run!

However, Shi Xiaobai did not hear the scream in Mu Lengxi's heart. Not only did he not dodge or evade, he ended up standing in his original spot.

Eventide Great Wolf and company smiled sinisterly as they pounced at him ferociously like tigers and wolves!

Shi Xiaobai suddenly held his hands to his abdomen and psionic power began circulating through his palms. He first bent his knees and did a half-squat before suddenly standing up straight. As he did so, he raised his palms and like a bow being pulled back completely, his palms struck out with a blast that resounded into the distance like thunder!

Shi Xiaobai's palms hit toward the sky, immediately blasting out thunderous lightning in his surroundings. Several resplendent golden dragons seemed to twirl around his body.

The expressions of Eventide Great Wolf and company changed as they turned to run.

They had previously gone through life-and-death battles and had a keen sense of true danger. They spontaneously sensed that the boy was not to be approached at that moment.

Their intuition was accurate. Shi Xiaobai's attack of 'Tremors that Shook the Land' was considered an extremely powerful move in the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms repertoire. Furthermore, it was like a porcupine—the fiercer the enemy's attack, the more savage the retaliation.

Shi Xiaobai gradually retracted his palms and nonchalantly glanced at Eventide Third Wolf that had already retreated to a great distance away.

His eyes seemed to say— What happened to the attacking forcefully? Why are you shrinking away?

Eventide Great Wolf and company had extremely ugly expressions but they had no choice but to admit inwardly that the boy was somewhat voodoo. It was probably difficult to attack him forcefully.

Eventide Second Wolf lowered his voice and uttered, "Are we still going to continue our battle of attrition with him?"

Eventide Third Wolf gave an approving nod for the question.

Eventide Great Wolf's expression was livid as the veins on his forehead bulged. He clenched his fists tightly as he spent several seconds to take deep breaths. Finally, he sighed and nodded.

Suddenly, Eventide Great Wolf seemed to think of something as he looked up and shouted to the sky, "Fifth Wolf, come out."

Eventide Fifth Wolf, who was flapping his wings, immediately flew over from a distance away in the night sky.

Eventide Great Wolf ordered, "Use your cannon to shoot at him. I refuse to believe that his defense is purely dependent on his flesh and bones. He must have been using Psionic Hardening. Use your bullets to drain him of his psionic power!"

Eventide Fifth Wolf revealed an ugly expression as he muttered, "But..."

Eventide Great Wolf interrupted, "Don't worry. According to my observations, this kid may have strong palm techniques but he can at best hit a distance about ten meters away. As long as you fly to a height of twenty meters, there is no way he can hit you. He will only end up being enervated by you!"

Eventide Fifth Wolf heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. He did not want to have his wings broken from a single palm strike. It was best if there wasn't any risk. There was no other way about it as he had become timid after being a perpetual harasser in his years as a soldier.

Eventide Fifth Wolf flapped his wings and flew to a point above Shi Xiaobai. Although Eventide Great Wolf had said that twenty meters were sufficient, he still flew to a height of fifty meters to be safe.

"Die, idiot!"

Eventide Fifth Wolf held a cannon in each of his hands. After aiming at Shi Xiaobai, he had a gleeful look in his eyes. He loved to be in the scoundrelly situation of others not being able to hit him while he could maniacally output damage.

Shi Xiaobai shook his head helplessly. He found the group of people troublesome. Couldn't they just attack forcefully? Why did they need to resort to all these tactics?

Shi Xiaobai sighed as he suddenly raised his hands toward the sky. With a wave of his hand, a golden beam flashed as Lucifer's Sword appeared for a fleeting moment.

Poof!

Intense winds suddenly began stirring as they blew toward the sky!

It wasn't wind but sword beams that filled the sky!

When the first bout of sword beams tore through his underwear, nearly ending Eventide Fifth Wolf's chance of reproduction, countless sword beams came bombarding him like a rising gas.

Eventide Fifth Wolf was immediately left confounded.

What happened to being unreachable for twenty meters?

This was a fucking no-fly zone in a two-hundred-meter radius! IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
