Chapter 32 (Part A) – A Helping Hand

(Mustang: Making up for last Friday’s release, as promised. Have fun :))

The pack appeared to be led by two wolves, the strongest of them all, the pack advanced and retreated in an orderly fashion, pinning the five fighters close together. The wolves were backing each other up, making it difficult for the five humans to kill any of them.

The wolf pack hadn’t sustained any serious injuries, whereas the state of the five men was becoming frailer by every passing minute. Even though the five of them were very stubborn and were standing strong, Bi Fan was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to last a very long time at this rate.

They were inside the devil’s territory, surrounded by a pack of wolves; even attempting to escape wouldn’t be of much use.

These five youngsters needed something of a miracle to get out of their present predicament.

The five of them were also cooperating with a decent understanding, their attacks were seamlessly coordinated, and every now and then, they were able to kill an ordinary wolf or two.

There were at least a hundred wolves in this pack, so a few dead ones wouldn’t exactly make any difference. Especially considering that the two chiefs and the other ten strongest ones were unharmed so far, and they posed the maximum threat.

The two chief wolves along with the other ten strongest ones were mostly staying away from the fight now, protecting themselves from incurring any injuries, while allowing the others to finish the fight.

“Poof!” one of the youngster’s arms’ was hit by a wolf and the wound started dripping blood.

The five humans were very commendably united, the other four quickly circled around their comrade, keeping him in between them, allowing him to bandage his wound.

Unfortunately for them, the five had grown rather tired now, having used up most of their strengths, and on top of that, they had sustained quite a few injuries in quick succession. Plus, the sheer number of their opposition wasn’t allowing them any room to rest.

Seeing the wounded state of the humans, Bi Fan decided that it’s now or never, if he doesn’t rush to their help now, they will soon be dead meat.

Seeing his opportunity, Bi Fan leaped off the tree he was hiding in.

In his right hand, wielding his sword, he employed ‘fufeng double-edged sword’, whereas with his left hand, he cast out the ‘immortal finger’, targeting two of the stronger wolves.

Bi Fan’s attacks landed before he did; a glorious mid-air display.

“AOOWWW!!” The two wolves’ uttered blood curling shrieks, unaware of Bi Fan’s presence, they were engrossed in attacking the five other humans. Caught off guard, they succumbed to Bi Fan’s surprise attack, and fell to the ground.

Bi Fan had barely landed on ground, he turned beautifully, accounting to his excellent footwork, and began attacking another wolf.

The other wolves spotted his intrusion, as he killed another wolf.

With the help of his exceptional footwork, which appeared to hitting its pinnacle, Bi Fan quickly struck down another four wolves.

“WOOOOOO!!!” The two head wolves simultaneously wailed furiously, as the charged in Bi Fan’s direction.

“It looks like we are being assisted by an expert. Brothers, lets quickly seize this opportunity and kill these wolves.” The five of them weren’t stupid or cowardly; they launched a fierce full-scale attack, realizing that they had just been presented with an excellent opportunity to kill the wolf pack.

A good number of the ordinary wolves had been slayed, but they didn’t pose much of a threat anyway. It was the strongest ones that were the main cause of worry.

Bi Fan used his agility, somersaulted through mid-air as he slashed his way through another pair of wolves, and then quickly retreated, as he realized that the chiefs of the pack were charging at him.

Accounting to Bi Fan’s present strength and skill, killing ordinary wolves, who were only at ‘martial strength’ layer, was a piece of cake, not to forget, that some of the wolves were even weaker than that level.

The two furious head wolves were trying to close-in on Bi Fan, but Bi Fan’s floating fast and nimble footwork, had them chasing him continuously, as they failed to catch up to him.

In a very short span of time, Bi Fan had already killed ten wolves, but it was the two strongest ones that posed the maximum threat, and they were still alive.

Bi Fan had now stopped in his footsteps, as he was now confronted with the two chiefs of the pack, one on his either side.

The two wolves were quite strong, and they weren’t going to be easy to deal with.

“AAAOOOOO!!!” The two wolves howled on his either side, as they charged at Bi Fan.

The howls of the two wolves left Bi Fan’s ear drums buzzing.

Bi Fan calmed his head down, as he dodged to one side, avoiding the incoming attacks.

‘Fufeng double-edged sword’, ‘the immortal finger’….

Bi Fan attacked with full force, as he wanted to finish this business as soon as possible.

His top grade light-ray sword befell one of the wolves. The skin of the wolf was as hard as iron, even though Bi Fan’s sword cut his skin open, his sword didn’t slice through the wolf’s body.

Bi Fan was slightly surprised by this, but as the other wolf pounced at him, Bi Fan retreated, avoiding the attack, and was forced to abandon a good opportunity to finish the other wolf off.

The attacks of the two chief wolves weren’t exactly top quality in their merit, and now that one of the wolves’ was injured, the two of them now seemed a little cautious.

The two of these wolves were as strong as Bi Fan and had entered the ‘inner organs’ layer. But they were naturally gifted with very strong skins, making their defense much stronger than that of an ordinary ‘inner organs’ layer demon. Bi Fan would have to resort to something a little different to kill these two.

“AOOO!!! AOOO!!!” The two wolves attacked again, this time, running parallel to each other, side by side, making it a lot more difficult to find an opening.

The five injured youngsters had consumed most of their energy, so, even though they were doing a pretty good job killing the ordinary wolves, relying on them to kill these stronger ones wasn’t a realistic option.

Bi Fan hadn’t been able to attack the two wolves of late, and had been consistently forced to retreat, as he tried to dodge the attacks of the two wolves.

On top of that, the constant howling of the two wolves was upsetting Bi Fan’s focus.

Suddenly, Bi Fan had an idea, and he deliberately slowed down a bit.

“AOOO!” one of the wolves open his mouth to howl again.

As soon as he did, Bi Fan turned around and cast out the ‘immortal finger’ aimed straight at the wolf’s mouth.

“Boom!” The wolf’s head exploded and blood splashed all around. The wolf’s corpse landed on the ground ahead of him attributing to his forward inertia.

‘The immortal finger’ is an extremely sharp and concentrated attack, it pierced through the wolf’s arteries and windpipe, killing him in an instant.

The other wolf realizing the odds of his survival, turned around and made a dash to save his life.

“Oh, so you want to run away? Well, that won’t be so easy!” Bi Fan chased after the wolf, ‘the dance of mist’ footwork being called into action.

In a flash, almost like a mirage, Bi Fan intercepted the other wolf.

The wolf watched Bi Fan’s movements with an angry expression of his face. He kept his mouth shut, well aware of what the result of howling could prove out to be.

“That smart huh!”, Bi Fan was impressed.

However, faced with just one wolf now, Bi Fan was spoilt for choices.

‘Fufeng Double-edged sword!’

Bi Fan cast out his attack at a very quick pace.

Even though he wasn’t able to kill the wolf in an instant, his attacks were certainly giving the wolf a headache.

Bi Fan’s light-ray sword wasn’t exactly vegetarian in nature, the attacks left the wolf scared and blood stained.

Faced with enormous pain from the wounds, the wolf still wound dare open his mouth to howl, as his bloodshot eyes glared at Bi Fan.

The wolf pounced at Bi Fan, his throat wide open, his jaws directed at Bi Fan’s throat. The wolf’s eyes reflect his fear of Bi Fan’s finger.
