Kill

Su Hao had deeply experienced the helplessness of being a child. In many of his previous rebirths, he had met with accidents and died young at four or five; those who lived to six were few and far between.

In his last life, it had been an incident at kindergarten. This time, it was a wolf attack.

A wolf attack was far deadlier than the criminal from his previous life, not only because wolves were more savage and skilled at hunting, but also because this attack had come so suddenly. He had not had the slightest time to react. If He Qingqing had not warned him, he might not have realized what was happening until the wolf's jaws clamped around his neck.

But Su Hao was, after all, different from before. Though he was likewise a four- or five-year-old child, he now possessed a transcendent power called "Blood Qi." Moreover, through the Blood Qi Strengthening Wave, the amount of Blood Qi he possessed had already reached the limit his current body could bear.

Simply put, he was now extremely powerful. He was invincible among children his age; he could beat children five years older until they cried, chase around those ten years older, and he would not fear even an adult.

Faced with the massive Coyote lunging at him—

Su Hao remained calm. "It would be one thing if I hadn't noticed your sneak attack. But since I did, then you—get down!"

He turned, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed his stance, his right hand clenched into a fist. He completed all those movements in an instant. When the wolf's jaws were right before him, Su Hao threw an upward punch, smashing viciously into the Coyote's lower jaw.

"Bang—crack—"

The enormous wolf mouth snapped shut at once, several broken teeth flying from the corners of its mouth.

A massive Impact traveled from its lower jaw to its upper jaw, then into its head, knocking the Coyote's head high into the air. The instantaneous blow even sent a ripple through the fur on its head.

The Coyote was sent flying by Su Hao's punch, tumbling backward several times in midair before crashing heavily to the ground.

He Qingqing's mouth fell open.

Snot Tao's mouth fell open.

Little Fatty's mouth fell open.

He had sent a wolf flying with one punch—and this wolf was two or three times bigger than him. Was this real? Was this still the Xiangwu they knew? If an adult had done something like this, they would not have been surprised in the slightest. But for Xiangwu to do it was simply outrageous. Besides, Xiangwu was one or two years younger than them! He Qingqing knew that if she encountered a wolf attack, she could do nothing but scream and tremble. Even if a wolf stood still and let her hit it, she would not be able to hurt it.

What was going on? All of a sudden, she felt that the gap between people was enormous. Looking again at the two bigger lackeys beside her, they were behaving even worse than she was. Had she really been right to play with them every day? For no reason at all, Su Hao's words surfaced in He Qingqing's mind: "I never play with idiots!" So, in his eyes, they really were idiots. Then she remembered: "I never play with weak people." So, in his eyes, they really were weak.

He Qingqing seemed to mature all at once. She suddenly understood that Xiangwu had never lied—he truly had not wanted to play with them.

She had grown up in an instant, yet she felt so sad. What was this?

Su Hao had no idea how great an impact that punch had brought He Qingqing. Seeing blood at the Coyote's mouth while it could still climb up and lower its head to snarl at him, he pulled the Short Blade from his waist and held it in his hand.

Su Hao lowered his body and faced off against the Coyote.

The Coyote slowly backed away. It was trying to run.

Su Hao's lips curled up. He stomped down hard, sending dirt flying as he charged toward the wounded Coyote.

The Coyote gave a low growl and stopped retreating. Its hind legs kicked off the ground as it lunged at Su Hao as well. This time, it had learned its lesson. Rather than opening its jaws wide from the start, it intended to wait until it was close, then suddenly bite down on his throat.

Su Hao narrowed his eyes. The Blood Qi throughout his body began to burn, releasing a tremendous amount of energy, and his body was instantly filled with surging power.

He would kill this wolf in one strike and survive this first childhood crisis! The instant Su Hao and the Green-Eyed Coyote met, he suddenly leaned backward, dodging its biting pounce. At the same time, he raised the Short Blade in his hand and slashed hard, cutting a long, bloody gash across the Coyote's neck.

The two sides crossed past one another.

Su Hao immediately rolled to his feet and looked toward the Coyote.

The Coyote had lost its balance from the cut to its neck and crashed heavily to the ground, but it immediately climbed back up and watched Su Hao warily.

Its entire neck had now been cut open, blood spraying out in a desperate rush. In only a moment, the Coyote lost its strength, staggered, and collapsed. Soon, it stopped breathing.

The Coyote fell right before He Qingqing and the other two. Looking at the massive wolf, even though it had become a corpse, the three of them still felt an inexplicable fear.

Such a powerful wolf had been dealt with by Xiangwu in a single slash. Yet all they knew how to do was catch fish and play in the mud, and they had even dreamed of defeating Xiangwu with a despicable sneak attack from behind. The more they thought about it, the more laughable they felt.

Su Hao walked over to the wolf corpse, kicked it twice, and said smugly, "Dead for real this time, right?"

Then he raised his head and snorted at the three of them. "Now you know fear, don't you? Why aren't you hurrying home? If I hadn't been here today, the three of you wouldn't even have been enough for this wolf's meal."

He Qingqing instinctively wanted to retort, but she could not say a word.

Snot Tao and Little Fatty were even worse off. Their eyes were now filled with fear as they looked at Su Hao. If anyone asked them to oppose Su Hao again in the future, they would never dare.

"Come on, I'll take you home!"

Saying that, Su Hao turned around. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his heart skipped half a beat. Two wolves had silently arrived behind him and were preparing an ambush.

Seeing this, the two wolves immediately attacked from front and back. One leaped toward Su Hao's throat, while the other rushed straight for his abdomen.

Too close! Too fast! He was confident he could block one wolf's attack, but he could not deal with two at once. If he dealt with the wolf trying to Bite his throat, the other would certainly tear open his stomach. Even his thick winter clothes could not stop a wolf's sharp teeth.

What should he do? There was no time to think. Su Hao stepped sideways, avoiding the Coyote's frontal pounce, and seized the moment to slash his Short Blade viciously across the Coyote's throat.

"Riiip~"

A bloody gash opened across the Coyote, and it followed in the footsteps of the first Coyote.

However, Su Hao no longer had time to deal with the second Coyote.

Because the second Coyote's jaws were already right before him. At that moment, he had no time to gather strength, nor did he even have an opportunity to dodge.

Imagining himself being disemboweled, Su Hao sighed helplessly. "A reborn person's thousand ways to die!"

"Horizontal Slash!"

A sudden shout exploded beside his ear.

A flash of light streaked past, and the Coyote lunging before him was instantly split into two halves. They fell to either side, never to move again.

"Father!"

Su Hao cried out in delight.

He was saved! The moment this man appeared beside him, Su Hao felt an unparalleled sense of safety.

Sure enough, during the early stages of growth, he still had to rely on his father. Having a father to depend on did make sense.

At this moment, not only did Su Hao let out a sigh of relief, Wu Yuntian did as well.

When he had seen the first Green-Eyed Coyote about to bite through Su Hao's throat, he had been too late to save him. He had been desperate.

Yet what he had not expected was that Su Hao could actually kill a powerful Green-Eyed Coyote by himself. It was truly unbelievable.

Fortunately, he had made it in time. His son, Wu Xiangwu, was unharmed. That was the best possible outcome.

At this moment, the warriors who had rushed back saw that the children were all standing there safe and sound, and they all relaxed.

As long as they were alright!

So what had happened here? Everyone's gaze fell upon Su Hao, and upon the bloodstained Short Blade in his hand.

At that moment, Lu Gao suddenly appeared and loudly claimed credit. "Captain, I've already cleared out the two Green-Eyed Coyotes that infiltrated the village."

Everyone turned to look at Lu Gao again. Lu Gao suddenly spotted the three Coyotes lying off to one side, and he was instantly speechless.
