The Creatures That We Are

Chapter 632: Fight Dirty



Chapter 632: Fight Dirty

Boom!

A shockwave hit the ground, and Wang Zikai flew into the sky like a rocket.

The kick to his chin shut his brain down for a brief moment, and seizing the opening, Azure Dragon jumped and soared into the sky, appearing above Wang Zikai.

Wang Zikai’s eyes twitched. He had just recovered control over his body, but it was too late to block the incoming hit.

Without giving him time to react, Azure Dragon clenched his right fist and made a simple punch with only half a second of gathering strength.

Boom!

The punch landed on Wang Zikai’s left chest, where his heart was.

Drawing a quick trail in the air, Wang Zikai plunged into the swimming pool in the front yard. Like a torpedo had exploded, a large pillar of water shot toward the sky, the water pouring on Veggie and Core East like rain.

Core East was used to such fanfare, while Veggie gaped, stunned. Elder Azure Dragon’s crazy powerful!

Thud. Azure Dragon landed from tens of meters in height without bending his body and knees much, easily offsetting the impact of the great drop like a wooden stake shooting into the ground.

He looked at the swimming pool with close concentration.

His simple punch could render a regular human into a pool of blood. Powerful awakeners would have their internal organs shattered; only those with Guard-type or Buff-type Talents would survive the hit, but even they would be unconscious for quite a while. No matter how strong Wang Zikai was, he was a simple monster...

Azure Dragon’s eyes twitched suddenly.

Two hands reached above the edge of the swimming pool, and a head with drenched blond hair popped up. Wang Zikai climbed out of the pool.

He stretched his neck and pinched his dislocated jaw, fixing it with a pop.

Lowering his head to spit out blood, he wiped his face.

The punch had torn the chest area of his shirt. He discarded it with a yank, revealing his well-built and attractive muscles. The tanned skin had a cold shine to it under the moonlight.

Wang Zikai curled up a corner of his mouth, breaking into a smile that was a mix of irritation and excitement. “You fucking play dirty.”

Azure Dragon silently circulated his energy to tap into his full reserve.

“And I...” Wang Zikai clenched his right fist, holding it before his chest with three sharp bone claws shooting out of the back of his hand. “Look down on those who play dirty.”

...

Half a minute before.

Gray Bear, in the form of a three-meter giant bear, ran along the streets of the rich area. While he wasn’t that agile, he was big, and he was quick for his pursuers.

“Hahahaha...”

He continued to use level 3 Jeer while running.

Six Rime was strong-willed, but she was in charge of dealing with Gray Bear to begin with. Meanwhile, Forest Crane, Flower Turtle, and Old Lion had mediocre resistance to the taunt. Although it made sense for them to be chasing their enemy, they didn’t realize that they had become hotheaded and bloodthirsty.

Splash! The fire hydrant before Gray Bear suddenly burst, and a stream of water shot toward the sky, making a sudden turn and hurtling toward Gray Bear, quickly freezing into a sharp ice dragon.

“Out of my way!”

Gray Bear didn’t move to the side. That would only slow him down and allow his pursuers to catch up with him. Instead, he swung at the ice dragon’s head with his claws.

Not yet completely frozen, the dragon's head shattered into shards, splattering everywhere.

Gray Bear continued to run with almost no delay.

The thin shards quickly combined into three sharp ice cones, shooting toward Gray Bear.

He ran and avoided the attacks as best he could, but still ended up hit by one ice cone. Fortunately, his hair was thick and as hardy as steel wire, and his skin and flesh were rough and difficult to break. The cut was too slight to slow him down.

“Hahahahaha...” Gray Bear continued to laugh.

Suddenly, a shadow flew above his head. It was a black hunting dog, which had been waiting on the balcony of the mansion ahead, commanded by Beast King.

“Piss off!”

Gray Bear swatted at it to knock it out of the way, but the moment of distraction prevented him from dodging the real threat.

Growl! Old Lion, on his mount, lunged at Gray Bear from the rooftop of a three-story building. He had been jumping between rooftops and taking shortcuts.

Gray Bear didn’t have the time to get out of the way, so he opted to enhance his defense with surging energy.

The giant lion tackled Gray Bear to the ground, its sharp claws cutting into his flesh and skin and its piercing fangs sinking into his thick neck.

Gray Bear reacted quickly. He put his arms around the giant lion and made a powerful swing. The two beasts grappled and fought, rolling around on the ground.

Gray Bear gained the upper hand after a moment of crisis. While he was in bear form, he could still move like a human. Wrestling the lion, he managed to get behind it with his arms locked around its neck and his legs around its torso, preventing the lion from biting him. Then he exerted more force. The giant lion screamed in pain, swinging its claws and head, but to no avail.

Seeing that his lion was getting strangled to death, Old Lion, who had already jumped off his mount, sat down cross-legged, his eyes flickering a strange blue light.

In an instant, part of Old Lion’s soul and most of his energy entered the lion’s body, and its eyes became brilliant like blue gems.

It transformed into a lionman as strong as Gray Bear.

With a great surge of power, the lion flipped to its feet, while Gray Bear remained attached to its back like a giant turtle shell.

Gray Bear was stunned. The lionman had greater explosive power and raw strength than he did. His only advantage was his defensive power, which didn’t matter at all in this fight.

With his wealth of experience, Gray Bear bit the lionman in the nape without hesitation, forcing it to drop to one knee in pain. When it was going to counterattack, Gray Bear quickly let go and detached from its back, continuing to run away.

The lionman was visibly furious. It gave chase immediately, but in this form, it was stronger yet slower compared to its regular lion form.

Gray Bear didn’t use Jeer again. For one, his Talent was in cooldown. For another, he had done his job by buying the others at least a minute.

All he needed to do now was run for his life!

The end of the road was right before him. Beyond that was a river, and he would be able to escape once he reached the river. Hope was right within his reach.

Whoosh, whoosh. Two vines shot out to grab his legs. Gray Bear’s face darkened.

Shit, the others are catching up! This is Forest Crane’s Plant! But you’re humiliating me if you think the vines will be enough to trap me!

With a stomp, Gray Bear freed himself from the vines, continuing his run.

Forest Crane continued to obstruct him. The leaves of the four palm trees on the sides of the road turned into countless sharp daggers, stabbing at Gray Bear.

Gray Bear was confident in his defense, and he ignored the attacks to keep fleeing, rushing headlong toward the leaf daggers. The cuts were nothing but a pouring rain to him.

Victory was right before him. It was right there!

Thirty meters!

Twenty!

Ten...

The joy of a job well done rose in Gray Bear’s heart. He was already thinking about buying Lithe Snake and Nine Frost a drink once he returned, boasting about how dangerous the mission was and how much he had contributed with a healthy dose of embellishment.

He couldn’t wait to see the two men scowl in discontent. Can, the flatterer, would be showering him with praises, and Gao Yang would give him a faint smile in approval.

That brat. He’s much younger than I am. Why do I follow him so loyally...?

Suddenly, his smile stilled.
