Fang Zhengzhi felt that his knowledge of this world was indeed too shallow. But, what was with that ball of fire? That was too mysterious indeed.
It felt as if it appeared out of thin air.
You mean fire can appear out of thin air, and disappear into thin air? This completely exceeded his imaginations, fire from friction? Or what else was it due to?
Was it the Dao of All Creations?
The Blue Fire Wolf didn’t read books, how could it master the Dao of All Creations?
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt lost and bewildered. This world seemed to be completely different from what he imagined. He thought that he had managed to understand this world very well, but after turning around, he realised that as before, he was still standing outside the door of understanding.
He couldn’t understand this at all!
After a flash of bewilderment, Fang Zhengzhi understood one thing…
Now, he should run!

Awoo!
Ideals will always be perfect, but reality is always cruel.
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t even managed to turn his body. The Blue Fire Wolf had already turned into a stream of light and dove towards him, those faint blue pupils completely fixated on the ‘prey’ in front of it.
Its razor-sharp claws slashed in a beautiful arc mid-air, a bright-red flame burning on its claws.
Like fireworks in the night sky.
Even though Zhang Yangping and the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad bore some hatred towards Fang Zhengzhi, but as they witnessed the Blue Fire Wolf hunting down Fang Zhengzhi, they still couldn’t bear for this to happen.

This kid… what a pity!
Zhang Yangping sighed as he ran. He was powerless. Because, even if he stopped to shoot an arrow, he still wouldn’t be able match the Blue Fire Wolf’s speed to save Fang Zhengzhi.

Let’s run!


Sigh… we actually allowed a kid to defend us!


We have no choice, he is really too close to the Blue Fire Wolf, there is no way to save him!

The Northern Mountain Village hunting squad stared at the Blue Fire Wolf, which had already pounced in the air right on top of Fang Zhengzhi’s head. All of them felt somewhat helpless. They wanted to save him, but at death’s door, who would even be willing to stop their footsteps.
Fang Zhengzhi was scared.
Met with the Blue Fire Wolf’s pounce, the inexperienced Fang Zhengzhi mind almost blanked out, unable to think.
But evidently the Blue Fire Wolf didn’t bother to take that into consideration. In its eyes, the child of a human undoubtedly had the most delicious and tender meat. Furthermore, the reason that prompted it to ignore the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad to focus on killing Fang Zhengzhi was none other than that this kid actually dug a trap for it!
As the king of the outskirts of Cang Ling Mountain, how could it accept this?
Sensing Fang Zhengzhi’s fear, the Blue Fire Wolf could confirm, the delectable flavour that would dissipate its rage was about to enter its mouth a second later.

Bam!

The Blue Fire Wolf’s claws reached the ground first. There was no sound of bone breaking.
But, it didn’t feel disappointed at all. Because, Fang Zhengzhi was right in front of its eyes, it could already even smell his delicious meat.
…
Fang Zhengzhi was indeed too near to the Blue Fire Wolf. Too near, so near that he was almost unable to breathe.
At the crucial moment just now, he didn’t manage to react much, forgetting every single defense techniques and only very instinctive fell back in fear…
But, falling back, coupled with a roll, gave him the extreme luck to have avoided the killing blow of the Blue Fire Wolf.
Even though he managed to avoid one blow, he had ultimately still fallen on the ground, facing the sky. Moreover, the Blue Fire Wolf’s razor-sharp claws, which seemed to be made from mythical metal, was placed right in between his two stumpy legs.
The distance from his vital parts was only the length of a first.
Dead!
This time, Fang Zhengzhi was really dead!
For the first time, he felt the terrifying wave of a death threat sweeping over him. As the saying goes, an anxious dog can jump over a wall. Let alone a human who was about to be killed.
Fang Zhengzhi retaliated.
There wasn’t any form of technique, acting on pure instinct to kick away this threat in front of him.
The two stumpy legs at this instant turned into two rapidly kicking mini motors. That speed could definitely invoke a gale of wind.

Ahhhhh… go away, go away…

As he shrieked, Fang Zhengzhi concentrated all the strength in his body to kick at the Blue Fire Wolf’s approaching head and claws.
The Blue Fire Wolf was delightedly preparing to enjoy the delicious meal in front of it at this moment. When it suddenly saw the barrage of kicks coming towards it, it was almost unable to react and a few kicks landed on its nose and eyes.
But, it wasn’t too worried.
Because that power was indeed too weak. It was just the struggles of a human child faced with death, what use could it have? With its strength, even if it stood still to take a few kicks from this kid, it wouldn’t even budge an inch.
Completely inconsequential.
Feeling the powerless kicks that posed as nothing more than a form of irritation, the Blue Fire Wolf laughed coldly and cruelly inside. The delicious meat was right in front of its eyes, and it advanced. It’s huge mouth suddenly widened, and prepared to bite down on Fang Zhengzhi’s tiny legs.
Then…
Right at this moment, a huge wave of strength and power washed over the Blue Fire Wolf.

Grr, grr grrr….

From the originally powerless stumpy legs, a terrifying power emerged. Every kick that landed on its face felt like a huge hammer smashing down on it.

Awoo!

The Blue Fire Wolf unleashed a blood-curdling howl. Its gigantic body was flown upwards, then, along the same arc projectile path, it came back down and slammed into the ground, returning back at the same spot it leapt from.
All of these happenings, from the moment the Blue Fire Wolf pounced towards Fang Zhengzhi, to it being kicked back wildly by Fang Zhengzhi, all occurred in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Yangping and the rest of the hunting squad, situated not too far away, were completely stunned.
All they saw was the Blue Fire Wolf pouncing, Fang Zhengzhi falling to the ground, then the Blue Fire Wolf being kicked away by Fang Zhengzhi.

How is this possible?


This is supposed to be… the Blue Fire Wolf!


It was actually sent flying by a kick?

Zhang Yangping and the rest of the hunting squad stared at Fang Zhengzhi as if they had seen a ghost. They were completely unable to believe that under these circumstances, Fang Zhengzhi actually didn’t die!

Deputy… Deputy captain, look… look at the Blue Fire Wolf’s nose!


It’s bleeding! The Blue Fire Wolf is injured!

A few observant hunters quickly noticed that on the edges of the Blue Fire Wolf’s mouth and on its nose, a few drops of bright-red blood trickled down.

Drip, drip…

The blood dripped onto the floor, and soaked into the ground.
…

Awoo!

The Blue Fire Wolf reared its head and unleashed a mad, infuriated howl. That sound, other than anger, was filled with solitary and arrogance.
Its name, was Blue Fire.
It was a lone wolf. In the outskirts of this Cang Ling Mountain, it was the real king.
Regardless of when and where, any animal or human that encountered it only had one thought. That was to run. Having ruled this land for the past years, it had never been wounded in a manner such as today.
