Naivety

I saw it!

The instant his own reflection emerged in that pitch-black eye, lit by the flames, the lunging wolf's fur stood on end in disbelief.

He saw me?

Boom!

Before he could even react, a loud explosion and a violent gale suddenly stirred up.

Even under Chun Jun's accelerated Transcendent Vision, as the Rebirth Form emerged, Zhanlu went into overdrive. Electric Light surged forth, pushing his enhanced physical capabilities to their absolute limit before he managed to react.

Yet the red-hot Iron Hand had already clamped around the wrist transformed into a claw.

Caught.

Amid countless afterimages, it effortlessly identified the true position of Blood Slaughter's claw. Even as it struck, it had pre-arranged a cutoff for every possible changing trajectory.

It was merely a casual grab.

It looked as though, the moment Ji Jue spread his fingers, the wolf had voluntarily offered up his claw. In that instant of collision, he had no time to pull back before his wrist was gently gripped tight.

Then, the world spun.

Vision blackened.

His sight twisted uncontrollably. The world before his eyes abruptly spun, and the ground leaped up to smash into his face. By the time he recovered, he had already been wedged into the stone slab, leaving behind a huge crater.

Then Ji Jue raised his foot and stomped down at that stunned face!

A simple blow, yet it brought an instinctive chill.

In horrifying terror, the wolf sprang up and shot away, frantically dodging as he retreated dozens of meters.

Then he saw the enormous depression left behind. The stone slab and earth had all disintegrated into the finest dust, rising into the gale.

All of it had been pulverized!

Unfortunately, the wolf was no longer there.

And more tragically, he discovered that Ji Jue was gone too...
