# Chapter 39: Bubu Wang and Brother Moon Wolf
The howling wind on the icefield gradually slowed. Su Xiao walked forward through the snow, each step producing a crunching sound beneath his feet.
A fault line appeared in the icefield ahead. Su Xiao stopped at the edge and looked down. Over ten meters below lay a surface as smooth as a mirror—water that stretched all the way to the horizon, vast and boundless.
Following the water's surface into the distance, about a kilometer away, a massive object floated a hundred meters above the water.
This was a twisted mass of rotten flesh, elliptical in shape, with several arms growing from it that were somewhere between beast and human. Eyeballs at the top hung down connected by optic nerves. An underdeveloped throat writhed and squirmed. A semi-transparent curtain draped down from behind the elliptical flesh, cascading a hundred meters to cover a large area of water below.
Drip, drip~
Blood dripped from the elliptical rotten flesh, staining the water directly beneath it red. There was no imagined smell of blood or stench of decay—instead, a very fresh scent, like the fragrance of soil permeating the air after rain.
[Warning: You are suffering erosion from 'Moon's Azure Steel.' You have resisted this effect.]
Su Xiao had resisted the effect, but Amu and Baha had not. Their health dropped at 0.5% per second, while their mana and ice energy burned at 1200 points per second, accompanied by continuous true damage.
Bubu Wang and Amu both retreated dozens of meters as quickly as possible. The erosion of 'Moon's Azure Steel' ceased.
Baha was also affected by 'Moon's Azure Steel,' but not to an unbearable degree—its Venom Shadow ability provided partial immunity.
Su Xiao looked up at the distant elliptical rotten flesh. He could confirm this was not the true body of the Silver Moon Wolf.
Su Xiao attempted to envelop Amu and Bubu Wang in a crystal layer. As expected, they were no longer eroded by 'Moon's Azure Steel.'
Su Xiao leaped down from the ice fault, falling toward the water. During his descent, the erosion of Moon's Azure Steel intensified over a hundredfold. For anyone else, they would die within moments from the massive true damage.
Splash~
The water around Su Xiao seemed to explode. As water splashed everywhere, he felt everything around him flip upside down, as if a full moon was rotating. An instant later, everything righted itself.
The scene before Su Xiao had completely changed. He stood on a lake island, the entire small island covered in reeds. White reed flowers hung diagonally, swaying in the breeze.
On the surrounding lake surface, thread-like bloodstains were distributed, forming a complete contrast with the lake island. The island was beautiful and sorrowful, while the surrounding lake was filthy and covered in bloodstains.
A full moon hung at the edge of the sky, faintly tinged with blue. This full moon gave an illusion—as if it were very close, as if one only needed to run a few kilometers to touch it.
Something fell from above, crashing heavily into the reed field. Reed flowers scattered everywhere—it was the elliptical rotten flesh from before.
"Failed... to keep... the promise..."
A low, hoarse voice came from within the elliptical rotten flesh. A wolf claw thrust out, blood splattering everywhere. The Silver Moon Wolf appeared.
Originally, Silver Moon Wolves were very clean. The moon, silver-white fur, lakes—all symbolized the Moon Wolves.
This Moon Wolf before them was over four meters in length. Its fur was white tinged with black, its eyes very cloudy. Black smoke rose from its fur.
The Apostle's Eye floated behind Su Xiao as he attempted to examine the Moon Wolf's data.

...
Seeing the Moon Wolf's data, Su Xiao was puzzled. From the stone tablets earlier, it seemed Emperor Taiyatu led people to kill the Moon Wolf.
No matter how it was viewed, Emperor Taiyatu was just a person of this world. Even if he was strong, he couldn't compare to the Moon Wolf.
There must have been other reasons for the Moon Wolf's death. What could be confirmed was that Emperor Taiyatu definitely did not defeat the Moon Wolf through direct confrontation.
The Moon Wolf's current combat power was basically not enhanced by Abyss power. Abyss power had two sides—accepting it was a boost, rejecting it was a penalty. Although the Moon Wolf was dead, its remnant soul rejected Abyss power. Abyss power had no concept of good or bad, but the Moon Wolf only used two types of power: part of the inherited power of Law Annihilation, and moonlight.
The Moon Wolf dozens of meters ahead raised its head, looking at the full moon hanging at the edge of the sky. At the very center of its pupils, there was still a rice-grain-sized area that hadn't become cloudy.
The Moon Wolf shifted its gaze, meeting Su Xiao's eyes.
Zheng~
Su Xiao drew the long blade at his waist. His left hand, wearing the [Silver Moon Blade] ring, stroked the blade's edge. The Moon Blade effect was successfully applied.
Seeing this, the Moon Wolf dozens of meters away widened its eyes slightly. Before it could express any emotion, its eyes became cloudy.
"ROAR!!!"
The Moon Wolf let out a furious roar. Layers of air waves spread outward, and the surrounding white reed flowers flew everywhere.
Boom!
A blue-white lightning bolt struck down. The Moon Wolf, dragging a trail of lightning, suddenly charged toward Su Xiao at a speed too fast to react to.
Amu had already been standing diagonally in front of Su Xiao. It had condensed an ice shield in its hand, now blocking directly in front of Su Xiao.
Amu could only raise its shield to block. With a thunderous boom, the ice shield shattered instantly. To think, Amu's ice shield, even against the attacks of the Feather God, hadn't shattered in one blow.
The Moon Wolf charged through. As ice fragments scattered everywhere, Amu staggered back a few steps. A semicircular gap appeared in its torso at the side of its waist, with broken ribs and damaged organs clearly visible.
What made Amu's eyes widen even more was that in just one hit, the ice energy it had left—barely over half—was now reduced to less than 3000 points. Along with this came continuous true energy backlash damage plus true bleeding damage, totaling 10 seconds of duration.
This ability was very similar to Azure Steel Shadow's ability. The difference was that Azure Steel Shadow immediately caused massive true damage, while this ability caused dual continuous true damage.
The Moon Wolf had opened with its ultimate move. After Amu took this hit, nearly half its combat mission was complete. Its speed wasn't good enough; when fighting powerful enemies, its main tasks were to withstand the enemy's ultimate attacks and block the enemy at critical moments.
"What the hell, that's way too fierce."
Baha, who had been planning to attack from behind, entered an alternate space. But at that moment, fire elements converged around it.
Baha entered the alternate space, only to "pleasantly" discover that the surrounding fire natural elements had entered the alternate space along with it.
"Damn."
Boom!
Baha inside the alternate space was engulfed by flames, almost becoming a fire-roasted sand sculpture.
In one exchange, both Amu and Baha were severely injured. Bubu Wang, blending into the environment, trembled with fear. It really wanted to say: 'Brother Moon Wolf, we're both canine species, don't target this Wang.'
Just as Bubu Wang was preparing to continue lying low, the Moon Wolf shifted its gaze, meeting Bubu Wang's eyes. A very strong feeling surged in Bubu Wang's heart—that the Moon Wolf could see it even while it was blending into the environment.
