Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Struggle Between Two Kings
Wang Sheng was naturally aware of the wolf pack attacking the village, as he woke up the instant the gong sounded.
But like Xu Qu, he did not take action immediately.
The reason was simple; it was something Village Chief Zhou Zhengwen had asked for after a meeting, hoping to see what the villagers could achieve on their own and to toughen them up.
Although Wang Sheng thought the village chief was being pretentious, he ultimately nodded in agreement.
The old man didn’t have any bad intentions.
So, when the wolf pack launched its attack, Wang Sheng and Xu Qu stood at a high point in the village, observing the situation.
…
With their strength, even under such circumstances, they could see very clearly and naturally spotted the Wolf King at the center.
“Da Bai, do you think you can take on that Wolf King?”
The strength of the Wolf King could not be considered alone; it had to include the strength of the entire wolf pack.
The Wolf King had several wolves under his command that were comparable to martial artists. Wang Sheng wondered if Da Bai’s strength was sufficient to withstand an attack by a group of wolves.
“Roar!”
Da Bai proudly raised his head, clearly meaning that it would be very easy.
Just a bunch of wolf cubs, after all. It hadn’t been active in the forest recently—did they really think they were the kings now?
Wang Sheng, getting this response, chuckled and said, “I don’t think that Wolf King is scared of you. Look, even though you are in the village, it still dares to attack. Between youse, this should be your territory, right? Or maybe, this whole area around here is your territory, right? But the wolf pack still came!”
Beasts have a strong sense of territory, which was also why Da Bai had previously acknowledged that there were no powerful beasts nearby.
But now the Wolf King had appeared with a group of followers.
Da Bai figured it out instantly!
It was like stepping on his own face, blatantly coming onto its territory.
“Roar~”
Da Bai felt the soul of the Mountain Lord within it awaken!
It looked at Wang Sheng, asking if it could go.
Wang Sheng smiled and said, “Go ahead, if you can’t handle it, just retreat to ten meters away!”
Hearing that he could go, Da Bai was very happy, but upon hearing that it might not win, it instantly felt displeased.
“Roar!”
Not being able to defeat them was impossible!
With a gentle leap, Da Bai left Wang Sheng, carrying the wind and joining the battle.
At the same time, the martial artists had already engaged with the wolf pack.
There were about ten wolves comparable to martial artists, and five martial artists from the village were involved in the fight against these powerful wild wolves, while ordinary people used various attacks to combat the ordinary ones.
Initially, Li Yongfeng and his compatriots had become very proficient with the Shaking Mountain Stick, and since these wolves didn’t have any special tactics besides relying on their strong physiques and instictive combat styles, the martial artists could fight evenly despite being outnumbered.
Of course, that was all they could manage for now. The wolves coordinated well, and it would probably take some time to defeat them.
At the same time, the fight showcased the difference between martial artists and ordinary people.
The scene was basically full of flying sand and stones; each strike caused quite a stir, with ordinary wolves attempting sneak attacks, getting hit, and being thrown over ten meters, dying instantly.
And the deaths of these wolves were extremely brutal—the areas hit had their bones shattered, leaving the corpses grotesquely twisted and distorted.
A few minutes later, Li Yongfeng and others seemed to have found the knack for fighting and began to gradually supress the wolf pack.
Yet no one relaxed, because the Wolf King had done nothing from the beginning to the end.
It was still checking, making sure there were no other traps.
As for its own kind, if they died, so be it. As long as it could get a lot of blood food, everything was worth it.
But the time was nearly up!
The Wolf King watched the suppressed wolf pack, feeling it was safe from pitfalls, and wanted to attack.
But obviously, the Wolf King had chosen the wrong moment.
Just as it decided to strike, Da Bai, stirred by the challenge, also decided to engage.
The Wolf King leapt up, extending its claws, flashing cold light under the moonlight, and almost in the blink of an eye, it arrived behind Li Yongfeng.
But just then, the Wolf King seemed to sense something and forcefully turned its direction midair to land, sliding over ten meters on the ground before stopping.
At the same time—
Roar!
A huge roar sounded, followed by a huge black shadow landing next to Li Yongfeng.
“Mountain Lord!”
Li Yongfeng had never expected Mountain Lord to make a move, let alone save his life.
Da Bai paid no attention to Li Yongfeng and turned towards the Wolf King.
“Roar~”
The instinct of the beast told it that this Wolf King was very strong.
“Howl!”
Not to be outdone, the Wolf King, although nearly half the size of Da Bai, did not fall short in terms of momentum.
Boom!
Both were kings of beasts that moved, the wind from the tiger, Mountain Lord’s body was large, but his speed was extremely fast, almost disappearing instantly from the original spot, leaving several basin-sized pits on the ground, the kicked-up gravel like bullets.
The speed of the Wolf King was not weak, its movements were a bit quieter, but when colliding with the Mountain Lord, it was still an evenly matched force.
Boom!
The collision between beasts was the most primitive physical warfare, the two kings collided.
Whew!
The strength of the two was equal, no one had any advantage, only the wave of air from the collision surged around, even lifting a thin layer off the ground.
Li Yongfeng and the others were fighting against the Wolf King’s subordinates and were momentarily affected by this aura; fortunately, the Wolf King’s subordinates were as well, otherwise the advantage they had barely gained would have been sent right back.
However, they were somewhat shocked in their hearts, could merely the “aftermath” of the fight affect them?
How big was the gap in strength?
No one answered them.
The battle between Mountain Lord and the Wolf King continued, still the clashing of flesh against flesh, tearing at each other, blood splattering.
The ground was quickly wrecked, having completely turned over.
The wild fight, full of a primal beauty!
Minutes passed, and there was still no victor between Mountain Lord and the Wolf King.
Mountain Lord collided with the Wolf King again, then charged with a tiger-coming-down-the-mountain momentum!
This was a move he had used against Wang Sheng, gathering all his momentum to intimidate his opponent!
Roar!
The Wolf King felt a strong sense of crisis, as if a fierce tiger was pouncing deep into its mind, and it was even intimidated.
It knew it absolutely could not continue like this, the Mountain Lord had his trump cards, and so did it!
The Wolf King stimulated its inner Qi Blood Power in a deceitful manner, and then in Mountain Lord’s eyes, three Wolf Kings appeared directly.
Roar!
He had seen such a move at Wang Sheng’s, having the experience to deal with it.
But the Wolf King had no intention of fighting Mountain Lord any longer, and turned to run.
It had sensed the aura of Mountain Lord in this mountain forest before, and as it was in a breakthrough state at the time, it had been avoiding confrontation until after the breakthrough to take action.
After the breakthrough, together with its subordinates, it could have completely defeated Mountain Lord.
But unexpectedly, Mountain Lord was mixed with humans and was not weaker than itself after its own breakthrough, and it could not overcome him.
In that case, with the risk of failure, it was better to just leave.
As long as it was alive, there was always hope, it would definitely come back!
Using its trump card, the Wolf King was extremely fast, Mountain Lord simply could not catch up, it seemed to “let the wolf return to the mountain,” but just at that moment, a bloody lightning bolt burst forth, striking directly on the path the Wolf King was advancing, then exploded.
Boom!
In the distance—
Wang Sheng watching the hit Wolf King, put down the blood-colored longbow in his hand, and muttered to himself, “The precision isn’t enough, just have to make up with range!”
