Amidst the raging flames, Zaro's body resembled a demon crawling out of a hellish furnace. Its gray-black fur was gilded with a flowing golden-red hue in the firelight, and the scorching air distorted the surrounding atmosphere. Yet, its scarlet wolf eyes pierced through the heatwave, locking onto Han Fei like two blood moons.
The voice of the Lord of Wolves, accompanied by sparks, burst forth from between his fangs, each step leaving burning claw marks on the scorched earth:
"If that's all you're capable of, then you're not qualified to protect her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zaro sprang up again. His massive body transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the night under the moonlight. The moment his wolf claws crushed the ground, a wave of air surged up. His charging posture was like a heavy tank advancing at full speed. Grass clippings and soil exploded in a fan shape wherever he passed. His two scarlet wolf eyes left two blood-red afterimages as he sped away.
Just as Zaro took off, the roar of its engine tore through the night.
A black sedan, like a beast unleashed from its cage, sped out from the side, its blinding high beams illuminating the battlefield, and crashed straight into the man and the wolf.
Under the blinding beam of the headlights, Han Fei instinctively squinted and frowned, saying:
"Where did this high-beam dog come from?"
As he spoke, the kinetic energy assist device on his waist activated instantly, and a white vortex of air exploded beneath his feet, propelling him backward several meters.
Zaro, suspended in mid-air, had nowhere to gain leverage.
"boom!!!"
The sound of steel colliding with flesh was deafening. The car's windshield shattered into countless shards upon impact, and Zaro's massive body was completely embedded in the twisted hood.
The car continued its relentless speed forward, charging towards the giant wolf, causing Zaro's wolf claws to scrape sparks from the hood.
For a moment, the shrill screams of twisted metal and Zaro's furious howls intertwined, only stopping when they had plowed out a hideous trench several meters long.
Volume 1: Chapter 64 Operating You
Texas quickly went to Han Fei's side, helped him up as he landed, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I am fine."
Han Fei waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Zaro's Bloodlust is actually very powerful. The bleeding effect can cause up to 30% of a person's health to be lost per second at its maximum.
Just by hearing the numbers, you can feel how amazing the destructive power of Zaro's move is, but unfortunately, it encountered Han Fei, who is immune to the bleeding debuff.
No matter where you flow, the shield dog's ultimate move wipes you out.
More than the blood on his body, Han Fei was curious about the origin of that dog with its high beams on. Judging from its posture, it seemed like the dog wanted to run him over and kill him.
He squinted at the car, the bright moonlight clearly illuminating the silver-haired figure who stepped out of the door.
It turns out to be Lapland.
She held onto the car door with one hand, while the other casually rested on the long sword at her waist. The moonlight gilded her silhouette with a cold, silvery edge.
Noticing Han Fei's gaze, Lappland tilted her head and revealed a dazzling smile, her sharp canines barely visible between her lips:
"What a pity, I didn't turn you into mincemeat."
Han Fei snorted coldly and said, "Why are you chasing after me instead of taking care of your men?"
"What business is it of yours what I'm doing here? Do I have to report to you where I want to go?"
As he spoke, Lappland walked slowly forward, his boots crunching the withered grass of the wilderness.
At this moment, the two black cars stopped one after the other, and ten elite assassins from the Saluzzo family quickly spread out to form an encirclement, the cold light of their poisoned crossbow bolts gleaming in the moonlight.
Before the words were finished, a screeching sound of metal twisting suddenly came from the roof of the black car that caused the accident.
Zaro's massive body had somehow climbed onto the roof of the black car, his wolf claws carving four jagged grooves in the metal. His scarlet beastly eyes were fixed on Lappland's back, and a low roar, carrying the stench of blood, swept over them.
"You little brat from the Saluzzo family, you're asking for it."
"Oh, it was you I bumped into earlier. I'm so sorry, it was dark and I couldn't see you clearly."
Lappland spoke words of apology, but there was not a trace of remorse on her face.
Zaro was already in a bad mood, and Han Fei's appearance disrupted his entire plan. Now, Lappland's collision has brought out its ferocity completely.
It didn't care who Lappland's target was; all it knew was that the one who had just been knocked away wasn't Han Fei, but itself!
The next second, two red lights flashed by, and Zaro, accompanied by a bloody stench, pounced on Lappland.
clang!
The silver-white twin blades were held across Lappland's chest, precisely blocking a fatal blow for her.
Zaro missed its attack and staggered back onto the vehicle. Then, it looked up and howled at the moon, about to unleash its blood-dissolving terror on Lappland.
However, at that very moment, a gunshot interrupted Zaro's "spellcasting".
The RIP bullet precisely pierced Zaro's throat, turning its long howl into a strange whimper.
"Oh?"
Lappland turned around and looked at Han Fei with considerable surprise. "You actually helped me?"
Han Fei said, "Instead of that, shouldn't you worry about the wolf in front of you? It looks really angry."
Lappland laughed heartily, then proposed, "Let's make a deal. You return my knife, and I'll take care of it for you. As for our grudges, we can settle them later."
Han Fei narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat hesitant.
Lappland's dual swords are really valuable, extremely expensive. The value of a pair of longswords is almost the same as that of a fully modified gun.
He was actually a little reluctant to return it.
Lappland noticed Han Fei's hesitation and said with a playful tone, "You won't agree? Then I won't take care of you anymore?"
"Who do you want to mess with? The little brat from the Saluzzo family."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zaro appeared behind Lappland as if by magic, opening his blood-red maw as if to bite.
clang!
Another clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out.
Two longswords pierced the wolf's mouth like crossed lightning bolts. The friction between the metal and the sharp teeth sparked dazzling sparks. Texas's forearm trembled slightly from the immense pressure, but she still steadily withstood the deadly bite.
"Don't get distracted."
Texas used her sword to block Zaro's bite while glancing sideways at Lappland.
Looking at Texas beside her, Lappland's expression was somewhat strange, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, and she said softly, "Cellina, how long ago was the last time we fought side by side?"
Texas replied coolly, "I forgot."
"Ah."
Lappland raised the corners of her lips. She naturally didn't believe Texas's answer; it was just an excuse the latter used to prove his determination to sever ties with his family.
The next second, Lappland stretched out her hand to Han Fei and said, "Give me the knife."
"Damn it, Lappland, you'll have to make it up to me next time we meet."
As Han Fei spoke, he took out his twin swords from his backpack and threw them directly at Lappland.
The latter caught the two swords steadily, and as he held them in his hands, his entire demeanor suddenly changed.
"Yes, yes, that's it, very good."
A murderous glint flashed in Lappland's eyes, and the shadow of a giant gray wave appeared beside her.
"Huh?"
Han Fei was immediately shocked, thinking to himself, "It's just a change of knife, how come the Wolf Soul has been activated?"
In reality, Han Fei completely misremembered.
Wolf Spirit is an Originium Arts skill of Lappland and has nothing to do with Zaro.
Even when he was still a 5-star Guard, he could activate Wolf Spirit, back when there was no Extraordinary!
Then Lappland swung her longsword, and the blade light transformed into a wolf-shaped phantom, tearing at Zaro's body.
Meanwhile, the elite assassins of Saluzzo looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
Their purpose in coming here was clearly to target Cherlinina, but their young lady did not attack her target; instead, she fought with the Wolf Lord.
This left the assassins loyal to the Saluzzo family somewhat bewildered. Should they continue with the original plan and target Cellina? Or should they follow the young lady's lead and fight against Zaro?
Just as Saluzzo's assassin was at a loss, an explosion rang out from the battlefield not far away.
The shockwave from the Tiger Crouching Cannon lifted Zaro's mountain-like body into the air, and the giant wolf traced an arc in the blast before crashing heavily onto the wilderness.
Texas's sword blade trailed two cold glints in the moonlight. The girl used the momentum to leap up, and the two swords pierced Zaro's chest like crossed lightning.
In the same instant, Lappland's figure appeared almost simultaneously with the flash of the blade. The silver-haired girl spun around and slashed out with a crescent-shaped arc of light. The sharp blade precisely cut open Zaro's throat. In an instant, thick blood gushed out, dripping onto the girl's pale face, adding a touch of bewitching allure.
The giant gray wolf collapsed to the ground, but it was not dead. It stared fiercely at the two girls in front of it.
The Beast Lord's immortality endows it with indescribable vitality; mere external injuries are simply insufficient to kill it.
Suddenly, a figure blocked Zaro's gaze from the two of them.
Han Fei, holding a large shield, appeared in front of Zhalo, looked down at the fallen Wolf Lord, and said, "I know I can't kill you, but Zhalo, I have a way to keep you from getting up forever."
As he spoke, Han Fei raised the heavy riot shield in his hand, ready to give it a good elbow strike at any moment.
As the lord of the wolves, Zhalo has never been bullied like this before.
But Han Fei's combo moves just happen to work!
Zaro simply couldn't understand why his massive body was so powerless in front of this man. Whether it was the shield elbow strike or the air cannonball, as long as it touched him, he would be elbowed away.
Although it had suffered a loss, Zhalo's identity made it unwilling to back down. It bared its teeth at Han Fei, about to let out a threatening growl.
The large shield slammed into its head.
Behave yourself!
"Kid, you know..."
"I told you to behave, can't you understand human language?"
After being elbowed twice in a row, Zhalo felt a little numb. For a moment, it began to wonder if the guy in front of it was also some kind of beast lord. Otherwise, there was no reason why it, as a wolf lord, would be elbowed so badly.
But looking at the man, Zaro couldn't find a trace of the wild beast that one would expect in him.
At this moment, Zaro was completely numb.
Whether facing Lappland or Cellina, or even if the two girls work together, Zaro is confident he can defeat them.
This confidence came from its status as the beast lord; there was no reason for the immortal wolf lord to suffer a defeat at the hands of wolf cubs.
But then it ran into Han Fei, an unreasonable guy whose huge shield immobilized it, and Zaro couldn't think of a way to break through.
Avoid him? There's no way to avoid him!
That giant shield can spew air; there's no way to dodge it!
A single elbow strike made this wolf lord, who had lived through countless years, begin to question his existence. Could this be some new Originium Arts developed by some country?
No, that's not right, this elbow strike is not Originium Arts at all!
After a long silence, Zaro, who was completely puzzled, finally spoke: "Kid, I acknowledge your strength."
"uh-huh?"
Han Fei held up his large shield, but this time he didn't elbow Zaro directly. Instead, he patiently waited for Zaro to finish speaking.
"But you can't kill me."
As it spoke, Zarro got up from the ground, shook off the dust, and continued, "Without my promise, the shadow of Syracuse will still loom over Cherinina. Are you sure you want her to live the rest of her life being hunted by the Syracuse?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
Han Fei patted the riot shield and said, "I don't think you Syracuses can keep bothering my Cherlinina forever. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."
His confident demeanor led Zaro to misunderstand.
Zhalo had seen Han Fei without a helmet, and that appearance immediately reminded him of the Yan Kingdom.
At that time, Zhalo only regarded Han Fei as an unknown nobody and did not take him seriously at all. Even though he was from Yan Country, Zhalo did not care.
But by then the situation was completely different.
Having witnessed Han Fei's methods, Zaro couldn't help but let his imagination run wild regarding this identity as a Yan citizen:
"Even if you escape to Yan, so what? Even if you are in the Great Yan, the assassins of Syracuse will still follow you like a shadow."
"is it?"
Han Fei blinked, thinking to himself, "Zhalo, you're actually a pretty nice person. You thought of things I hadn't even considered."
