Chapter 42: Opened

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A seven-year-old child and the king of the outskirts of Cang Ling Mountain were evenly matched?!

If they hadn’t seen this for themselves, nobody would even have such thoughts, much less believing this incident really happened.

At this moment, Zhang Yangping and the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad stared till their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“The Blue Fire Wolf was fended off by one punch?!”

“Furthermore, it seems to have fallen hard to the ground…”

“How can this be possible?!”

The Northern Mountain Village hunting squad one by one began to mutter, as if they were on a dream journey. They completely couldn’t regain their senses after such a powerful shock.

“Shoot, quickly shoot!” Zhang Yangping suddenly shouted out, his face filled with delight. A child who can match up to the Blue Fire Wolf… no matter how he did it, this was an opportunity, a real opportunity!

“Deputy captain, I don’t have… don’t have arrows?” A Northern Mountain Village hunting squad member dug about in his quiver. It was empty.

“Oh!” Zhang Yangping managed to come to his senses. All the metal arrows seemed to have been expended, what were they supposed to do now? Don’t tell me they were supposed to helplessly let such a good opportunity go to waste?

“Deputy captain, we are willing!” A hunter pulled out a long blade and stepped out.

“I am also willing!” Another hunter pulled out a black spear.

“Excellent! You are all indeed worthy of being men from the Northern Mountain Village! Charge… everybody, charge!” Zhang Yangping naturally understood everybody’s determination. To be able to take advantage of this opportunity to remove the biggest danger in the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts, on top of taking a risk, even if they had to lose a few lives, it was still worth it.

…

“Awoo!” The Blue Fire Wolf who had fallen onto the ground rolled over, disbelief similarly evident in its faint blue pupils. All the blue fur enveloping its body instantly stood up, a thick smell of blood emanating from the fur that extended from its forehead to its tail.

It seemed to be undergoing some sort of change…

On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi was also currently taken aback. I didn’t die? And, it seemed like I even fended off the Blue Fire Wolf? What was that sensation just now?

The entire whole seemed to have disappeared, I completely wasn’t able to sense anything…

Or could it be said that, everything was within my senses?

What was that all about? Why did it feel like I was perched on the origins of the universe?

The Dao of All Creations, the disappearing world, origins…

Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes suddenly lit up. The huge sealed door within his heart seemed to have been truly opened at this very moment. The Dao of All Creations, originates from Man himself, understanding All Creations, in control of All Creations.

In control? Control… first and foremost, was control! Control oneself, then, let one’s body sense, let one and All Creation come together in some sort of harmony.

I understand, I finally understand!

What he controlled was definitely not any flesh nor blood, but it was his entire self. Man’s body, similarly, belonged to All Creations. Regardless of whether it’s flesh, blood, or bones, they were all made up of some substance.

In his past world, this substance was called “particles”! The smallest substance that can exist independently.

Mountains, rivers, flowers, grasses, trees, wood, stone, the existence of everything came about from particles. And what he needed to do was start from controlling his body, to controlling All Creations!

The “door” had now been truly opened!

That means, next…

Fang Zhengzhi ran. Scampering off and taking to his heels, he fled in a flash into the distance.

The door was indeed opened, but still, the Blue Fire Wolf seemed to have opened it earlier than him. After truly understanding, Fang Zhengzhi now had a more accurate judgement of the Blue Fire Wolf’s powers.

The Blue Fire Wolf definitely controlled the Dao of All Creations, else, it simply couldn’t just control its body to such an extent. Most importantly, that fire…

Was a level he definitely currently couldn’t compare to.

Having accumulated its energy and waiting to strike, the Blue Fire Wolf’s eyes instantly turned blank. When it previously thought that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely run, he instead stood still. Now, when it thought that Fang Zhengzhi wouldn’t run anymore, he instead started to run again?!

Zhang Yangping and the hunting squad were similarly taken aback. At this moment, raising their long blades and spears, they were rushing wildly towards the Blue Fire Wolf, but halfway,

They realised…

The child who was able to match up to the Blue Fire Wolf ran away?!

What was the meaning of this? Could they even work together anymore? Was there still even a tiny bit of rapport between them?

The instant Zhang Yangping saw Fang Zhengzhi fleeing, he had also thought of retreat. But thinking of the injuries the Blue Fire Wolf had suffered, he definitely couldn’t give up this opportunity easily.

“Charge!” Using his voice and through his actions, Zhang Yangping took the lead and sent a message to all the hunting squad members. He was determined to kill the Blue Fire Wolf.

“Charge!” The rest of the hunting squad members, seeing that even their deputy captain didn’t retreat, naturally also lost any intention of retreating.

Under the charge of Zhang Yangping, the twenty over hunting squad members quickly surrounded the Blue Fire Wolf, then, things became much simpler. Long blades hacked down, the spears thrusted forwards…

This kind of coordination was something they had already done countless times.

The only thing different this time was that this time, their foe was a king, the Blue Fire Wolf, the lone wolf that ruled the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts, a real monster.

The consequences were obvious.

How could twenty over hunting squad members defeat the infuriated Blue Fire Wolf?

The Blue Fire Wolf’s speed, coupled with its unparalleled agility and control over its body, and in addition to its thick and solid coat of fur, left the twenty over hunting squad members simply unable to significantly harm it at all.

After merely a few moves, several hunting squad members were injured. Moreover, there was even a hunting squad member who was slashed by the Blue Fire Wolf’s claws, tearing out a large piece of flesh…

Zhang Yangping instantly panicked.

Under normal circumstances, they would run once they encountered the Blue Fire Wolf. They had never truly fought with the Blue Fire Wolf, but seeing the fight between Fang Zhengzhi and the Blue Fire Wolf outside just now…

It had been sent flying by a kick, and stumbled backwards after a punch.

This insinuated some assumptions in Zhang Yangping’s mind.

If it wasn’t for this reason, he wouldn’t even have had taken such a huge risk, bringing the entire hunting squad under the tooth and claws of the Blue Fire Wolf.

“It’s over, it’s over…” Zhang Yangping hands trembled slightly. He never expected such a huge change of events. Even if he wanted to retreat now, it would simply be impossible.

Once they ran, the Blue Fire Wolf would definitely seize the opportunity and pounce over. Even under the most conservative of estimates, there would definitely not be less than five lives lost.

But, if they were to fight on like this, how many more people would die?

Dreadfully…

The entire hunting square would die here?

What to do?

What was he supposed to do now?

Distracted by his thoughts, Zhang Yangping’s movement strayed. The blade that initially hacked towards the Blue Fire Wolf’s head strayed from its line of movement and directly hacked onto a piece of stone below the Blue Fire Wolf’s feet.

Not needing to dodge, the Blue Fire Wolf instantly seized this opportunity.

An icy glint of death radiated from its faint blue pupils, shooting out, it had already pounced right in front of Zhang Yangping. Its two sharp claws grabbed onto Zhang Yangping’s raised arms, then opening its ferocious mouth, it bit down towards Zhang Yangping’s throat…

“Deputy captain!”

“Deputy captain?!”

“…”

When the hunting members witnessed this scene, a wave of alarmed cries resounded. But, the Blue Fire Wolf was too fast, even if they wished to save him, they would still have absolutely no way to stop the bite of the Blue Fire Wolf.

Its razor-sharp teeth emanated a bloody yet icy smell.

Zhang Yangping’s eyes widened. Even the usually calm him completely lost all forms of resistance faced with this sudden change of events.

All he could do… was to stand still and wait for the impending kiss of death!

The air, at this moment seemed to congeal and thicken.

The world…

Was so quiet that he could hear the sound of his heart beat.

“Psssh!”

Bright-red blood spurt out like a fountain, forming a beautiful lotus-like flower in mid-air.
