Gate of God

Chapter 43: Due Respect to a King

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The entire Northern Mountain Village hunting squad held their breath. Everyone stared, petrified, at the scene occurring right in front of their eyes, look at the kid who had suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yangping, with one hand impaled into the Blue Fire Wolf’s throat...

It was too fast!

Just like a shooting star across the night sky, resplendent yet momentary, nobody had seen clearly how did this kid suddenly appear.

Blood continued to gush from the back of the Blue Fire Wolf’s neck into the sky, like a fountain. Where the blood sprayed, there were even fairly discernible glints of silver light...

...

Did Fang Zhengzhi run?

Under that kind of situation, naturally he ran. Taking the Blue Fire Wolf head-on? He wasn’t stupid! But, after seeing the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad rush in, he returned.

Fighting head-on wasn’t plausible...

A sneak attack was still a very pleasant move! If it was successful, revenge would be taken! If it was unsuccessful, leaving the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad as sacrificial victims, then run away again?

With his life guaranteed, Fang Zhengzhi, who had decided on a sneak attack, stealthily hid behind the sea of people.

The minds of all twenty over hunting squad members at this instant were focused entirely on one thing, that was surrounding and attacking the Blue Fire Wolf. Who would even randomly decide to take a few looks behind his back?

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi was also very cautious. Rather than making a commotion by shouting and screaming, he carefully made use of the villagers’ bodies to block the Blue Fire Wolf’s vision.

A sneak attack was a skill-based move, emphasising on avoiding the enemy and constantly changing positions.

In order to achieve this, one must first choose the best "shield". Hence, as the deputy captain of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad, Zhang Yangping was naturally the best choice.

Initially, Fang Zhengzhi wanted to add in a stab or something after Zhang Yangping managed to hit and injure the Blue Fire Wolf.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yangping and his squad failed badly in living up to his expectations, causing him to be very disappointed. Not only did they not create any good opportunities for him to stab the Blue Fire Wolf, now he even landed himself into great danger.

Then...

The Blue Fire Wolf pounced, its two large claws perched firmly on the two raised hands of Zhang Yangping, its huge mouth already one inch away from Zhang Yangping’s throat.

Right at this life-threatening moment, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up.

An opportunity!

It was really a God given opportunity!

The Blue Fire Wolf’s toughest parts were naturally its back and the fur enveloping its body. On the other hand, its most vulnerable part was definitely its neck. That was a fatal part, and was also where the fur was the softest.

Save Zhang Yangping? He actually didn’t really consider this.

But, forgoing such a good opportunity was definitely punishable by Heaven.

Hence, Fang Zhengzhi acted.

Even though Zhang Yangping’s hands were raised, it didn’t hinder the movement of his small body at all.

In a flash, he shot out from behind Zhang Yangping’s arms to his front, then, forcefully stabbed forward with the dagger he had been hiding inside his shoe.

He had to kill in one blow, how could Fang Zhengzhi hold back? Strength, speed, were at its maximum. These wasn’t even the slightest sound of wind, and the dagger immediately impaled its way through Blue Fire Wolf’s throat. The extra strength even pierced a hole through the back of the Blue Fire Wolf’s neck.

Then, blood spurted out from the hole, forming a beautiful flower of blood...

...

The Blue Fire Wolf’s faint blue pupils stared motionlessly at Fang Zhengzhi beneath its body. Even at death, it couldn’t believe that it had actually died under the hands of a human child.

But, with its throat pierced, and having lost a huge amount of blood, it felt its strength disappear rapidly.

The two claws perched on Zhang Yangping’s shoulders became weak and powerless.

"Guuu..."

The Blue Fire Wolf wanted to howl, but, as blood spurted out from its throat, blood also flowed out from its mouth. All it could manage was a gargling sound.

"Swoosh!"

Fang Zhengzhi pulled back. After hitting the target, he had to be careful of the Blue Fire Wolf’s last struggle.

The dagger extracted itself from the Blue Fire Wolf’s neck...

Blood once again spurted out. Regardless of whether it was the neck, or the throat, huge amounts of blood flowed out uncontrollably.

The Blue Fire Wolf was filled with hate and anger. It wanted to kill all of the cruel human race. Hence, in the end, it still lifted up its claws and slammed down with all its remaining strength.

What a pity...

Fang Zhengzhi had already slipped behind the back of Zhang Yangping.

Then, the stunned Zhang Yangping once again became the avenue for the Blue Fire Wolf to vent its rage.

Even though the Blue Fire Wolf’s last remaining strengthen wasn’t enough to deal a fatal blow, but it still managed to rip apart the leather hide on his body, slashing two bloody wounds on his arm.

The impact sent him flying.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two sounds rang out almost at the same time. One was the sound of Zhang Yangping falling the ground, the other was the powerless Blue Fire Wolf slamming into the ground.

Its faint blue pupils stared fixated on Fang Zhengzhi’s body. It couldn’t accept this, it really couldn’t accept this. Because, even at the last moment, it didn’t even manage to hit Fang Zhengzhi once...

Fang Zhengzhi was also looking at the Blue Fire Wolf. He read the dissatisfaction in the Blue Fire Wolf’s eyes. Then, he slowly made his way towards the Blue Fire Wolf, lifting up its claw with his small arm, and, softly and briefly, placed it on his body.

This was the due respect shown to the king.

A trace of surprise flashed in the pupils of the Blue Fire Wolf, then, its huge mouth seemed to show a hint of a satisfied smile, and then slowly closed its eyes.

"Deputy captain!"

"Deputy captain, are you alright?!"

At this moment, the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad had managed to regain their senses. All of them rushed towards Zhang Yangping’s side.

"No problem, no problem..." Zhang Yangping patted off the dirt from his body, then looked at the wound on his arm and shook his head. Having escaped from right under the kiss of death, this small injury was nothing.

Seeing Zhang Yangping’s injury, all the hunting squad members began to worry. One after another, they took out their herbs and rapidly bandaged up Zhang Yangping’s injury.

A moment later, Zhang Yangping led the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad to Fang Zhengzhi’s side.

"Zhang Yangping expresses my gratitude towards little brother for saving my life, at the same time, representing all the villages within the area, expresses my gratitude towards little brother for helping Cang Ling Mountain to eliminate this Blue Fire Wolf!"

"So, this Blue Fire Wolf is now my prey?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Blue Fire Wolf in front of him. Having known the ropes, he saw that the skin of the Blue Fire Wolf was definitely worth quite some silver.

"Ha ha... of course!" Zhang Yangping nodded.

"Alright, the wolf skin belongs to me, you all can have the rest!" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand, seeming extremely "generous". But in reality, the fundamental reason was, if he really were to carry such a big Blue Fire Wolf back to the village, it would be extremely tiring.

"This... thank you so much!" Zhang Yangping became truly touched. The Blue Fire Wolf’s meat wasn’t worth much silver, but, if he brought this Blue Fire Wolf back to the village, it could resolve the pent-up worries and frustrations of the villagers.

Those villagers whose lives were ruined by the Blue Fire Wolf would definitely be very moved.

"There is one thing I want to ask, how... did you all know the pitfall locations within the rock formation?" Fang Zhengzhi expressed the greatest suspicion in his heart.

From the second the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad appeared, to the moment the twenty over people surrounded and fought the Blue Fire Wolf, during the entire process not a single person stepped into the trap...

Was that possible?
