Tavern of the Spear: Desire for Pleasure

Chapter 150 The Battle on the Other Side

Cheng Yu stood in the dense forest, his gaze sharp and fixed on the wolf-beastman that slowly emerged. The beastman was tall and muscular, its white fur, identical to Cheng Yu's, shimmering silver in the dim light. Its eyes were cold and sharp, and it gripped a long, gleaming sword, the blade radiating a palpable killing intent.

"It's finally here..." Cheng Yu murmured, his hands clenched tightly, his body leaning slightly forward, assuming a fighting stance. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on his opponent's every move, not daring to relax for a moment.

The wolf-orc opposite did not rush to attack, but slowly circled around Cheng Yu, its steps light and steady, as if searching for the best opportunity to strike. Its gaze remained fixed on Cheng Yu, its long sword slicing lightly in its hand, the blade cutting through the air with a faint hum.

Cheng Yu's body shifted accordingly, maintaining a face-to-face stance with his opponent. His steps were steady, his palms clenched, and his eyes blazing as he intently watched his opponent's every move. He knew that the wolf-beastman's ferocity and speed were terrifying; the slightest carelessness could allow his opponent to seize an opening and deliver a fatal blow.

"This guy... is not simple." A strong sense of crisis welled up in Cheng Yu's heart. He knew that this battle would be a contest of fighting skills, and he had to go all out.

Just then, the wolf-orc suddenly launched an attack. Its body lunged forward, its long blade whistling through the air, aimed straight for Cheng Yu's neck. Cheng Yu reacted extremely quickly, his body jerking backward as the blade grazed his chest, leaving a thin line of blood.

Cheng Yu lunged forward, his palms as sharp as wolf fangs, aiming straight for the wolf-beastman's chest. The wolf-beastman quickly retreated, holding his longsword horizontally in front of his chest, attempting to block Cheng Yu's attack. However, Cheng Yu's palm technique was extremely exquisite, the palm wind sweeping over like a storm, which the wolf-beastman could not completely withstand.

"boom--!"

Cheng Yu's palm strike landed heavily on the wolf-beastman's chest, producing a dull thud. The wolf-beastman's body shuddered violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he staggered backward.

Cheng Yu suddenly leaped into the air, his palms as sharp as wolf claws, aiming straight for the wolf-beastman's head. The wolf-beastman quickly raised his longsword, attempting to block Cheng Yu's attack, but Cheng Yu's palm technique was extremely fierce, the longsword was forcefully knocked away, and the wolf-beastman's body was also sent flying by the enormous impact.

"It's over." Cheng Yu's voice carried a hint of coldness as he lunged forward, his palms striking the wolf-beastman like a storm.

Cheng Yu's palms rained down on the wolf-orc like a storm, the force of his strikes sharp and whistling through the air, aimed directly at its chest. The wolf-orc's body was thrown back by the immense impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a serious injury. A cold glint flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes; he knew that one more strike would end the battle.

However, just as Cheng Yu was about to launch his final attack, a sharp whistling sound suddenly reached his ears. The sound, like the whisper of death, carried a chilling killing intent and headed straight for the back of his neck.

"Not good!" Cheng Yu's heart jolted, and he immediately realized the danger. His body reacted quickly, his palms retracted sharply, and he crouched low like a cheetah, quickly rolling to the right.

"Qiang——!"

A crisp metallic clang echoed through the air as a flash of cold light swept past where Cheng Yu had just stood—the longsword that had been knocked away. The blade was deeply embedded in the ground, its body trembling slightly and emitting a low hum.

Cheng Yu swiftly stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the direction from which the long sword had come. A strong sense of crisis surged within him, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat. He knew that if he hadn't reacted quickly, that strike would have been enough to decapitate him.

"This guy... is definitely not as simple as he seems." Cheng Yu murmured to himself, a hint of seriousness in his eyes. He quickly adjusted his breathing, his inner power surging once more, his palms clenched tightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Just then, the wolf-beastman reappeared in Cheng Yu's sight. It leaned forward slightly, its hands swiftly grasping the longsword stuck in the ground, and pulled it out with a sudden burst of power. The longsword gleamed coldly in its hands, and a hint of killing intent emanated from its blade.

The werewolf-orc suddenly spun around, its longsword whistling through the air as it hurtled straight for Cheng Yu's chest. Cheng Yu reacted incredibly fast, leaning back as the blade grazed his chest, leaving a thin line of blood.

Even with the intense pain in his chest, Cheng Yu knew this was no time to dwell on such thoughts. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to endure the agony, his gaze fixed on the distant wolf-orc. The longsword was still some distance away, giving Cheng Yu an opportunity. Without hesitation, he charged towards the wolf-orc's location.

The wolf-orc seemed completely unconcerned about Cheng Yu's actions, letting him rush towards him. In the wolf-orc's view, Cheng Yu's injuries were already enough to impair his movements, and even if he got close, he would not pose a threat to him.

However, Cheng Yu's determination and perseverance far exceeded the wolf-beastman's expectations. Despite the excruciating pain, he didn't slow down at all and rushed to the wolf-beastman in the blink of an eye.

Just as the two were about to clash, Cheng Yu suddenly changed his strategy. Instead of launching a direct attack as before, he slightly shifted his body to the side, avoiding the wolf-beastman's frontal assault. At the same time, he remained highly alert, constantly watching for any long blades that might fly from behind him, his mind completely focused.

The instant Cheng Yu approached the wolf-beastman, he lashed out with his claws, grabbing at the beastman's arms with lightning speed. However, the wolf-beastman reacted just as quickly, extending its own claws and precisely seizing Cheng Yu's hands.

Four claws were tightly intertwined, and the two were locked in a brief stalemate. Cheng Yu could feel the immense power emanating from the wolf-beastman's claws, a power that seemed to crush his bones.

Cheng Yu knew that if this stalemate continued, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him. He had to find a way out of this predicament as soon as possible. He quickly considered countermeasures, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, a cunning glint flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes. He had come up with a brilliant plan. He knew how the werewolf beastmen would attack next, and this was precisely his chance to counterattack.

As Cheng Yu had expected, after seizing Cheng Yu's hands, the wolf-beast immediately raised its claws, preparing to attack Cheng Yu's lower body. This was a common tactic of the wolf-beast; it wanted to use its height and strength advantage to completely suppress Cheng Yu.

Just as the werewolf's claws were about to strike Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu suddenly moved. He pushed off the ground with both feet, and his body soared into the air.

Cheng Yu's movements were extremely swift, leaving the wolf-orc with no time to react. Cheng Yu quickly flipped his body in mid-air, using his own gravity and inertia to lift the wolf-orc up as well.

The wolf-beastman was completely unprepared for Cheng Yu's actions. It lost its balance and was forcibly pulled off the ground by Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu continued to exert force with his claws, intending to spin the wolf-beastman in the air before slamming it hard to the ground.

Cheng Yu's strength and skill combined perfectly, leaving the wolf-beastman completely unable to control its body in mid-air. It could only watch helplessly as Cheng Yu spun it around before it crashed heavily to the ground.

"boom--!"

A loud crash rang out as the werewolf-orc's body slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The ground seemed to tremble, demonstrating the immense force of Cheng Yu's slam.

Cheng Yu didn't give the wolf-beastman any chance to catch his breath. The moment he threw the wolf-beastman to the ground, he immediately released his claws, leaped backward, and distanced himself from the wolf-beastman.

The wolf-orc struggled to stand, but found its body felt as if it were falling apart, unable to muster any strength. Its internal organs had suffered severe shock, and every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain.

Cheng Yu coldly stared at the wolf-orc lying on the ground, his eyes devoid of any pity. He knew that the battle was not over yet, and the wolf-orc still had the ability to fight one last time.

The wolf-orc struggled to raise its head, its eyes filled with anger and resentment. It couldn't believe it had been defeated by a wounded opponent. It struggled to its feet, but each attempt ended in failure.

Cheng Yu remained vigilant, knowing the wolf-orcs wouldn't give up easily. He waited quietly, anticipating their final attack.

Finally, the wolf-orc gathered enough power, leaped up from the ground, and pounced on Cheng Yu.

The wolf-orc was incredibly fast; its claws whistled through the air as it aimed straight for Cheng Yu's vitals. This was the wolf-orc's final counterattack, concentrating all its power into this single strike.

A glint of light flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes; he had anticipated this move from the werewolf beastman. He took a deep breath, crouched slightly, and prepared to counterattack.

Just as the wolf-beastman's claws were about to touch Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu suddenly moved. He charged towards the wolf-beastman like an arrow released from a bow.

The two figures passed each other in the air, making a dull thud.

Cheng Yu and the wolf beastman both collapsed to the ground, motionless, as if they had lost the breath of life.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and everything around became silent.

After a long while, Cheng Yu slowly opened his eyes. He struggled to stand up, but a sharp pain shot through his body. He looked down and saw that his chest had been ripped open by the wolf-beastman's claws, and blood was gushing out.

Cheng Yu endured the excruciating pain and slowly stood up. He looked at the wolf-beastman lying on the ground and found that it had completely lost its life.

Cheng Yu won; he defeated the powerful wolf-orc. But he felt no joy, for he knew this battle was only the beginning.

As the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, only Cheng Yu's solitary figure remained on the empty field. He did not rush to leave, but slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and began to organize his thoughts.

Cheng Yu's memory was somewhat hazy. Apart from his name, "Cheng Yu," he knew almost nothing about his past. This feeling was strange, as if someone had forcibly erased a piece of his memory, leaving only an empty shell.

However, Cheng Yu was not discouraged. He knew that some things couldn't be rushed. Since he couldn't remember, he would stop thinking about it for now. He believed that one day, he would regain his lost memories.

At this moment, Bai Yu's image appeared in Cheng Yu's mind. That guy, who also had white hair, gave him a strange sense of familiarity. This feeling was so strong that Cheng Yu couldn't ignore it.

In the instant his eyes met Bai Yu's, Cheng Yu seemed to see the same emotion in the other's eyes. It was a kind of doubt, a kind of inquiry, as if there was some special connection between the two.

This might just be Cheng Yu's imagination, after all, he and Bai Yu had only just met. However, Cheng Yu didn't give up. He trusted his intuition; he felt that Bai Yu was hiding some secret.

Cheng Yu remembered that Bai Yu was sent to this world because he had violated some kind of rule. This meant that Bai Yu was not weak, and at least he wouldn't die easily.

However, Cheng Yu also knew that this world was full of dangers. Even if Bai Yu had the strength, he might not be able to pass all the tests. He was somewhat worried about Bai Yu's safety, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it now.

Cheng Yu gently shook his head, banishing these chaotic thoughts from his mind. He knew that the most important thing now was to improve his strength; only then would he have a chance to leave this place and find Bai Yu.

Cheng Yu began to recall the battle he had just fought. He carefully analyzed every detail and summarized the lessons learned. He knew that every battle was a valuable learning opportunity, and he had to draw nourishment from them to become stronger.

The wolf-orc was incredibly strong; its speed, power, and combat skills far surpassed any of Cheng Yu's previous opponents. If it weren't for Cheng Yu's quick reflexes and a bit of luck, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat the wolf-orc.

Cheng Yu realized that he still had many shortcomings. His combat skills were not yet proficient, and his strength needed further improvement. He had to train even harder to survive in this cruel world.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and began to regulate his breathing. He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of power within his body. He knew that only by remaining calm and focused could he better control his power.

Time passed slowly, and Cheng Yu's breathing gradually became steady. His body also relaxed, as if he had become one with his surroundings.

Cheng Yu entered a state of tranquility. In this state, he could clearly perceive everything around him. He could hear the wind rustling through the leaves, smell the fragrance of earth and grass, and even feel faint vibrations coming from afar.

This state was wonderful, making Cheng Yu feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed. He seemed to have forgotten all his troubles and worries, leaving only pure perception and thought.

Cheng Yu knew he had to leave as soon as possible. He couldn't stay here too long, or he would attract the attention of other creatures. He needed to find the entrance to the next scene quickly and continue his challenge.

Cheng Yu opened his eyes, his gaze becoming even more resolute and sharp. He stood up, stretched his body, and felt the power surging within him. He knew he was ready to face the new challenge.

Cheng Yu looked around, carefully observing his surroundings. He knew that the entrances to each scene were well hidden, and he would have to search carefully to find them.

Cheng Yu began searching the open space. He carefully examined every inch of the land, leaving no suspicious spot unchecked. He believed that as long as he was patient enough, he would definitely find the entrance.

Time ticked by, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Cheng Yu's forehead. He had been searching for a long time, but still hadn't found the entrance. He was getting anxious, but he didn't give up.

Suddenly, Cheng Yu's gaze fell upon an inconspicuous corner. There stood a huge rock there, its surface covered in moss, looking no different from any other rock.

However, Cheng Yu keenly sensed something amiss. He felt that the air around the rocks seemed distorted, as if something was interfering with the stability of the space.

Cheng Yu's heart skipped a beat; he knew he might have found the entrance. He walked to the rock and carefully examined its surface. He noticed a tiny crack in the rock, from which a faint glimmer of light shone.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and placed his hand on the crack. He could feel the faint energy fluctuations emanating from the crack, an energy that felt both familiar and strange to him.

Cheng Yu closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and slowly poured the power within his body into the crack. He felt the energy fluctuations within the crack growing stronger and stronger, as if something was awakening.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the crack. The light instantly enveloped Cheng Yu, and he felt as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, entering an unknown space.

When Cheng Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely new scene. This scene was completely different from the previous forest; it was filled with strange sights and unknown dangers.

Cheng Yu knew that a new challenge had begun. He had to adapt to this new environment as quickly as possible, find the entrance to the next scene, and continue his journey.
