Chapter 47: The Dumbest Decision

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

It was too fast, so fast that people were simply unable to react.

Even Li Zhuangshi was only able to recognise the other person after the two fists connected. A glimmer of shock flashed across his eyes, but, the shock quickly turned into a cold smile.

But…

The cold smile didn’t last for long before it completely vanished.

Because, he felt, from that seemingly weak fist, the power of the violent surge of a mountain torrent erupted. Resist? He didn’t even manage to consider this before the huge strength swept him off his feet, his body smashing onto the stone walls of the small house like a kite with a broken string.

“Snap!” On the thick stone walls, due to the huge impact force, a web-like crack began to emerge.

Li Zhuangshi’s face instantly turned a deathly shade of white. His chest rumbled, opening his mouth, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. Gazing at Fang Zhengzhi, whose face was filled with calm, he didn’t dare to believe no matter what that this was real.

What was that humongous strength all about?

Was it strength that man could control? How did he achieve this? He is just a seven-year-old kid!

“This…”

Village Chief Meng Bai was completely stunned. Similarly, he didn’t dare to believe this scene that unfolded in front of his eyes. From the second Fang Houde attacked, to Li Zhuangshi’s countermove, then the sudden appearance of a figure.

All these happened too fast.

He didn’t even understand at all what has transpired. Why did Li Zhuangshi suddenly fly back? Why is there a crack in the stone wall? This is not possible; how can this be possible?

Li Zhuangshi… was sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi’s single punch?!

“How can this be possible?!” When Mrs Li initially saw Fang Houde lash out with the walking stick, her heart was filled with ridicule. She knew her own husband’s strength, in a contest of strength, Fang Houde’s actions were simply asking for trouble.

But, she didn’t understand, how did the contest of strength… turn into Fang Zhengzhi?!

Fang Houde’s walking stick forcibly stopped in mid-air, his gaze tightly fixated on this seemingly weak figure. But it was this very figure who had done what he had wanted to but couldn’t do most!

Furthermore, he did it so directly and efficiently, who would dare believe this?

Fang Houde’s mouth twitched slightly, scenes reconstructing themselves in his mind.

“I! Want! To! Enter! The! Hunting! Squad!”

“Mum, leave that gold to take care of dad!”

“…”

“He is my son? He is my, Fang Houde’s, son!”

Qin Xuelian mouth was also agape at this moment. When she saw Fang Houde lash out, she wanted to hold him back. Because, she knew that Fang Houde would definitely suffer.

But, she didn’t do that.

As a father, he should stand out like a man. Even if he obviously knew he was going to suffer, but for his own son, what was he to be scared of?

But…

The sudden change in situation indeed was something she simply couldn’t believe.

“Zhengzhi… my Zhengzhi… sent Li Zhuangshi flying?! One fist? Using only one first?!” Qin Xuelian felt the scene in front of her suddenly become blurry. A teardrop rolled down.

“My Zhengzhi, really can now support this family!”

The atmosphere in the room once again became mysterious. Nobody opened their mouth to speak, all their gazes ending up on Li Zhuangshi. That was a person who lifted five hundred pounds of black cauldron? What happened? He flew?!

“Those who humiliates others, will definitely be humiliated!” Fang Zhengzhi insipidly took a look at Li Zhuangshi, then trained his gaze onto Mrs Li at the side.

Mrs Li was instantly taken aback, a gust of cold air rushed from below her feet to her back.

She instinctively took a step back, then, just happened to knock into the chair behind her. Her entire body instantly toppled backwards, and sat down onto the floor with a “plop”.

This sound finally snapped the crowd in the room back into reality.

“Ha ha ha… Well said little brother Zhengzhi! Those who humiliates others, will definitely be humiliated! Even though I am a crude man, but I still can discern that this sentence contains deep wisdom!”

At this moment, Zhang Yangping, sitting by the side, suddenly stood up. His gaze swept across Li Zhuangshi, who was leaning against the wall, then finally ended up onto Village Chief Meng Bai, whose face was filled with shock.

“Village chief, your Southern Mountain Village has indeed opened up my eyes today!”

“I seemed to have heard that you claimed that Li Zhuangshi is the hope of the Southern Mountain Village, is that correct? Did you know, this is the biggest joke I, Zhang Yangping, have ever heard in my entire life!”

“Ha ha ha…”

“I, Zhang Yangping, have never been scared of anybody in any village in this area, but my objective for coming to the Southern Mountain Village today is to achieve two things. Firstly, to attest for Fang Zhengzhi about the trap illustration incident. Secondly, I wish to discuss a peace treaty with the Southern Mountain Village!”

“The Northern Mountain Village is even willing to pay money each month to the Southern Mountain Village in order to achieve this peace, do you know the reason why? Because of one person, Fang Zhengzhi! But, we don’t need to beg for peace anymore, because, Fang Zhengzhi is no longer a person from your Southern Mountain Village! Hence, I have to tell you this…”

“Today, village chief! You have made the dumbest decision ever!”

“The dumbest decision ever!”

“The dumbest decision ever!”

Zhang Yangping’s voice reverberated throughout the small house, then, he strode behind Fang Zhengzhi and reached into the huge basket behind his back.

“Village chief, do you think this hope of the Southern Mountain Village… can kill this?!”

“Woosh!”

A humongous bloodstained fur coat instantly unrolled itself in front of everybody’s eyes. Long strands of blue fur stood upright, as hard as needles. On its back, the fire-red fur that extended from the forehead all the way to the tail emitted an air of blood. Even though it was only a coat of fur, but the air of a savage beast still remained incredibly powerful, filling the entire room.

Everybody’s gaze was completely fixed.

Li Zhuangshi finally started to feel a hint of terror. How could he not know what this fur coat represented? But, he didn’t dare to believe. Or it could be said, no matter what, he didn’t want to believe.

Mrs Li, who had already crawled back up, after suddenly seeing this fur coat, her legs instantly gave way and was so frightened that she immediately sat back down.

A complicated glint shone in Fang Houde’s eyes. In them, there was agitation, there was anger, there was hate, there was relief… but, in the end, all these emotions turned into a drop of hot tears.

It wasn’t easy for a man to shed tears.

“Arm… my arm!”

“Houde, Houde, do you see this? Do you see this? Zhengzhi, our Zhengzhi, has taken revenge for you!” Qin Xuelian couldn’t control her tears anymore, grabbing tightly, she shook Fang Houde’s empty sleeve.

Village chief Meng Bai’s initial expression of shock instantly turned into a dark reddish-purple shade. He didn’t dare to believe, Fang Zhengzhi previously sending Li Zhuangshi flying was already something so shocking that nobody would dare to believe.

That meant that the scene unfolding in front of him, was simply terrifying! Terror that comes from the depth of the soul!

“Blue… Blue Fire Wolf?!”
