Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 286 - 285: Even I’m Afraid of Myself When I Get Angry
A glint of delight appeared in the Black Wolf’s eyes. Many weaker animals would freeze in terror when facing a predator, and the more foolish ones would even play dead.
He was a Beastman, capable of thought, not some brainless Wild Beast who could be so easily fooled by such an act.
Besides, he had unleashed his full aura, his speed was immense, and he had just executed a feint. This time, he was certain he could snap Xiao Cheng’s slender neck in one bite.
’What a pity for such a beauty. It wouldn’t be so bad if we became Couple Brothers. When our female is with the other brothers, the two of us could keep each other company...’
These thoughts flashed through his mind, all melting into the absolute certainty of a guaranteed victory. He focused nearly all his strength into his teeth, intending for this single strike to be a sure hit. Even if he couldn’t snap Xiao Cheng’s neck, he would viciously tear a chunk of flesh from his body.
However, just as he lunged before Xiao Cheng, his teeth about to sink into that flesh with its sweet, metallic scent of blood, his brain had already issued the command: bite down with all his might the instant he made contact.
Fearing his prey would dodge, he bit down with clean, decisive force. But... his teeth clamped down on a block of metal, shattering seven or eight of them on impact. Blood gushed from the empty sockets, and the metallic tang of rust filled his mouth.
The Black Wolf’s mind went blank for a moment. He didn’t even register the pain—only the cool, damp wind pouring into his mouth?!
The crowd, which had been watching with rapt attention, couldn’t help but cover their mouths and suck in a sharp breath. It was as if they were the ones who had lost their teeth; their own gums inexplicably tingled and ached faintly.
That was a vicious move. Using himself as bait to lower his opponent’s guard before springing a surprise attack... tsk tsk. Watching the bloody wolf fangs roll across the ground, Si Shuo couldn’t help but give Xiao Cheng a thumbs-up. ’Brilliant, simply brilliant!’ he thought.
A wolf’s most potent attack lay in its sharp teeth. Now that Jiang Guo’s had been shattered, his advantage as a carnivorous Beastman was more than halved.
Forget participating in the training to compete for the next Wolf King title; without teeth, he would struggle just to survive in Beast City, a place where the strong preyed on the weak.
Jiang Guo was both furious and terrified. Channeling all his rage into his claws, he began to attack Xiao Cheng with savage ferocity, his words a garbled mess. "You male fox, you tricked me! I swear I’ll kill you today!"
Xiao Cheng dodged in the nick of time with every attack, yet he gave off an unhurried, composed impression.
The crowd watched, completely bewildered. Was he so weak that he had put all his stats into evasion, or was he so powerful that no one could even get close?
After leading Jiang Guo around in circles for a bit, Xiao Cheng said with a helpless sigh, "Jiang Guo, considering you and my Brother Wei Ce are brothers from the same Mother, let’s just end the match if you concede."
Jiang Guo laughed in fury, his voice a slurred hiss. "Are you kidding me? You’re just fast! What makes you think you can win? Asking me to surrender? Dream on!"
Having lost a mouthful of teeth, his speech was a slurred mess. Every time he opened his mouth, the wind rushed in, causing him to drool uncontrollably. What was left of the dignity and glory of the self-proclaimed Young Master? Even his eyes had turned red with rage and humiliation!
"What? You’re saying you want to take my life? And that you’ll be the next Wolf King?" Xiao Cheng chided, feigning earnestness. "Jiang Guo, one should know when to forgive and forget. I’m not a pushover, you know. When I get truly angry, even I get scared of myself."
Jiang Guo was about to lose his mind. He harbored ambitions of becoming the next Wolf King, but no one would ever declare such a thing so openly. One had to remain humble to avoid putting the current Wolf King on guard.
Even if the Wolf King was his own Father! Xiao Cheng’s words were tantamount to laying his ambitions bare for all to see.
"You’re talking nonsense!" Jiang Guo sputtered. "Xiao Cheng, you shameless fox, how can you twist the truth? I... I’ll claw you to death today, even without my teeth!"
Jiang Guo channeled all his Spiritual Power into his claws, and the infusion of power also amplified the poison they carried.
If he managed to scratch someone, they would either die or go mad!
Xiao Cheng sighed, looking helpless once more. "Jiang Guo, why must you insist on fighting to the bitter end? Can’t we all just coexist peacefully?"
"My teeth are all over the floor and you’re talking to me about peace?" Jiang Guo roared, his words a furious, wet spray. "Nothing short of sending you to meet the Beast God will quell my rage!"
The crowd saw Jiang Guo, flustered and enraged, refusing to back down. It was obvious Xiao Cheng had the upper hand and could win with ease. Jiang Guo’s relentless, to-the-death posture—what was it but a death wish?
"Since you refuse to listen to reason, I’ll just have to knock some sense into you," Xiao Cheng said, finally making his move. The drone of countless metal shards, each as thin as a leaf, filled the air like a disturbed hornets’ nest, making everyone’s skin crawl.
With a wave of his hand, the metal leaves floated all around Jiang Guo, shimmering with golden light and droning ominously.
Jiang Guo had no way to escape. No matter how fast he was, hundreds of blades surrounded him on all sides. If he charged blindly forward, he would be shredded into strips of flesh!
They were both Twelfth Level, but the pressure Xiao Cheng now emanated made Jiang Guo’s legs go weak. All his previous fury vanished, replaced by the pure, cold fear of death.
Before he could even tuck his tail between his legs, all the leaves shot towards him in an instant, their deafening hum tearing through the air as they converged on him at incredible speed!
"AWOOOO..." Jiang Guo howled in terror.
The spectators’ hearts leaped into their throats. The males in the crowd had already covered their females’ eyes, while their own gazes were filled with a bloodthirsty excitement.
However, apart from a sharp pain in his rear, Jiang Guo felt nothing else.
His heart trembling, he opened his eyes to find that the leaves were pressed flat against his skin. ’If Xiao Cheng hadn’t stopped them just in time,’ he thought, ’wouldn’t I be nothing but meat paste right now?’
Jiang Guo was so terrified that he collapsed to the ground. A wet patch had already formed beneath him, and the heavy stench of urine filled the air...
Xiao Cheng said coolly, "One should know when to forgive and forget, Jiang Guo. I didn’t want things to get this ugly, but you’re the one who refused to let it go.
Out of respect for the Black Wolf Clan, I’ve only taken your tail as a warning. A cruel Beastman like you, who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals, is not fit to be the next Wolf King.
The next time you dare appear before my little female, I will skin you alive. Do you believe me?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Jiang Guo covered his mouth with his claws, whimpering miserably in affirmation. He was terrified that if he was a moment too late in responding, the leaves scraping against his skin would plunge right into him.
Only then did Xiao Cheng snap his fingers in satisfaction, and the leaves instantly dispersed and vanished.
The crowd gasped. There were many ways to use a superpower, but during a fight, most would draw upon corresponding elements in the air. Xiao Cheng, however, had directly solidified his Spiritual Power into physical objects. That was why the leaves could vanish according to his will, instead of clattering to the ground as solid metal.
This required an immense reserve of Spiritual Power and extremely precise mental control—a feat only a Beastman with exceptional talent could achieve.
At that moment, no one dared to look down on him for being from the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan any longer.
