210: Chapter 209 Two Wolves Fight
"Brothers, have you heard the saying? Within the four seas, all are brothers; peace is precious amidst the shaking of the five continents. Please, don't be impulsive."
Lu Fan tried his best to show goodwill, hoping to lower the wolf pack's guard.
In this tense moment, a slightly more agile wolf seized the instant when Lu Fan and An Lan's attention was diverted by the others and lunged forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Its target was clear; its sharp fangs glinted coldly in the dim light as it closed in on Lu Fan.
At this critical juncture, Da Hei reacted with lightning speed, rushing forward like a black phantom.
With a powerful push from its sturdy forelimbs, its entire body leapt high into the air, tracing an arc before accurately slamming the lunging wolf to the ground.
The two beasts rolled and grappled on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust as the sounds of fighting and roaring intertwined, striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.
Seeing this scene, a flame of anger flared up in Lu Fan's heart.
"Dammit, I gave you face by not fighting you, and you really think I'm a pushover, don't you?"
The wolves' provocation had pushed Lu Fan past his limit. At this moment, he no longer held back and quickly lit several sticks of dynamite.
Then, as the fuses burned down, he threw them toward the wolf pack without hesitation.
A few wolves were startled and dodged slightly, but seeing no immediate threat, they curiously approached again.
Suddenly, with several loud booms, the dynamite exploded within the wolf pack.
Flames shot into the sky, accompanied by billowing smoke; the massive shockwave blasted the surrounding vegetation into pieces.
Before the wolf pack could make an effective response, they were thrown into a panic by the sudden explosion.
Several wolves closest to the dynamite were blasted limp on the ground, howling in pain as their bodies convulsed and blood gushed from their wounds, staining the surrounding grass red.
The other wolves trembled with fear; some of the more cowardly ones even turned to flee, but a majestic roar from the Wolf King stopped them in their tracks instantly.
Though fear permeated every wolf's heart, they endured it and stood their ground without an order from the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was also badly shaken, but as a leader, its pride prevented it from fleeing.
At that moment, Da Hei broke free from the wolf it was grappling with and turned to face the Wolf King.
It held its head high, the fur on its neck standing on end with anger and fighting spirit, as it let out a deafening roar at the Wolf King.
The roar was filled with the intent of a challenge, as if declaring to the Wolf King: "Today, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
The Wolf King regained its composure and showed no weakness, its eyes flashing with a ferocious light as it returned an even more powerful roar.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.
Then, it crouched low with its front paws on the ground, assuming a combat stance, muscles tensed and ready to attack at any moment.
Seeing this, the other wolves tacitly retreated to the side, forming a circle to make space for this battle for supremacy.
Their eyes were fixed on the two wolves in the center, their eerie green gazes flickering in the darkness like ghost fires.
Da Hei launched the first attack, charging at the Wolf King like a gale, moving so fast it was hard to blink.
The Wolf King remained calm, sidestepping to easily dodge Da Hei's attack.
Immediately after, it took advantage of the moment Da Hei rushed past to swipe its sharp claws across Da Hei's back.
Da Hei reacted quickly, lunging forward to avoid a fatal blow, but its fur was still slashed by the Wolf King's claws. Blood seeped out, looking exceptionally striking against its black fur.
Da Hei did not shrink back because of the injury; instead, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit.
It turned around and lunged at the Wolf King again. This time it changed its strategy—at the moment it neared the Wolf King, it suddenly lowered its body, dove underneath, and then used all its strength to headbutt the Wolf King's belly.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the Wolf King stumbled back several steps.
After steadying itself, the Wolf King let out an angry roar and opened its bloody maw, snapping at Da Hei's neck.
Da Hei hurriedly blocked with its forepaws. The claws and teeth of the two wolves collided with a crunching sound; every impact felt like the beating of a drum of fate.
In the intense battle, Da Hei and the Wolf King constantly changed their methods of attack, trading blows back and forth without giving an inch.
Lu Fan and An Lan stood to the side, keeping a wary eye on the wolf pack while tensely watching the fight.
The slaughter between Da Hei and the Wolf King seemed to ignite the surrounding air, filling it with tension and killing intent.
After a brief breath, the Wolf King struck first, charging like black lightning with its forepaws raised. Its sharp claws aimed straight for Da Hei's throat, the wind from its claws whistling as if it would tear through any obstacle.
Da Hei was fearless. It pushed off with its sturdy limbs, agilely dodging to the side while simultaneously snapping its head around to reveal sharp fangs, biting at the Wolf King's flank.
The Wolf King reacted quickly, leaping up to avoid the attack and using its tail to sweep across Da Hei's legs upon landing.
Da Hei was swept into a stumble but quickly steadied itself.
Fighting spirit burned in its eyes. Seizing the moment the Wolf King landed and hadn't yet found its footing, Da Hei leapt high, twisting its body in mid-air and slamming into the Wolf King like a cannonball.
The massive impact knocked the Wolf King to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The Wolf King quickly flipped up and stood, a low growl emanating from its throat as it lunged at Da Hei again.
The two wolves grappled together. For a time, fur and blood flew, and the clashing of teeth and muffled roars intertwined, each sound shaking the ears.
As the battle continued, both sides were covered in wounds.
Although the Wolf King was experienced, under Lu Fan's careful feeding and training, Da Hei's body was stronger, and its endurance and explosive power far exceeded what they once were.
At this time, Da Hei's size alone was a full circle larger than the Wolf King, who lived a life exposed to the elements.
One must know that with equal combat strength, the larger one often holds the advantage.
During a fierce exchange, Da Hei saw an opportunity. Using all its strength, it leapt high, tracing a perfect arc in the air before heavily pinning the Wolf King to the ground.
Its sharp teeth bit down hard on the Wolf King's throat, refusing to let go no matter how much the Wolf King struggled.
Finally, the Wolf King's struggling gradually ceased, and its body slowly went limp.
Da Hei released its grip and stood up. Its wounds were dripping with blood, yet it looked majestic and formidable.
It howled toward the sky, the sound echoing through the forest for a long time, announcing its victory to the world.
Seeing this, the wolves lowered their heads one after another, pressing their front paws to the ground in a sign of submission to Da Hei.
Their tails no longer wagged stiffly but were tucked submissively between their legs, and low whimpers came from their throats—a sign of awe and obedience to the new Wolf King.
