Chapter 512: Beheading the Darkwing Wolf! Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth Late night... The city that was normally lit up with dazzling lights somehow seemed quiet in the midst of the icy wind. Inside the apartment, Mo Fan pushed the door open tiredly and glanced at the clothes, packages of snacks, and socks that were scattered across the floor... Not in the mood to tidy them up, Mo Fan toppled over onto the bed and fell asleep. The quest put up by the herb vendors was extremely difficult. If it weren’t for his Black Snake Armor, it might have been the end of him. Either way, he did not let the Clearsky Hunter Agency down, and managed to complete the quest. Mo Fan had totally expended all his energy, thus he went to bed straightaway, without realizing that the window was open. — He slept throughout the night and was woken up by the blinding sunlight slapping him to the face. The little Flame Belle woke up earlier than Mo Fan. She was walking around on the bed, and would trample Mo Fan’s face at times. Her fiery feet left scorched marks on his face, waking him up from his half-asleep state. Mo Fan picked up the naughty Flame Belle and flicked her forehead. The little creature immediately cried out and waved her limbs in the air wildly. Mo Fan finally calmed her down after feeding her a Soul Seed Piece, before falling back onto the bed after feeling how sore he was. A few seconds later, Mo Fan flung the blanket open and stared at the clean room in bewilderment. He might be worn out, but it did not give him amnesia. Mo Fan clearly remembered how messy his room was prior to going to sleep. Why did it completely change after a night? He could still detect a faint pleasant scent lingering in the room. Mo Fan glanced at the little Flame Belle who was munching her ‘chocolate’ in confusion, before shaking his head in disagreement. It would be a relief if she didn’t burn the room down around him. How could she possibly tidy it up? Since Xinxia had left, he had not cleaned up. Lots of unsightly stuff had stacked up over the past two months... “Liu Ru?” Mo Fan suddenly recalled something. He glanced at the closed window. Mo Fan touched his neck and felt something piercing him slightly. He looked into the mirror and discovered a tiny kiss on his neck. There was no hole... Liu Ru seemed to know that Mo Fan had gone through some tough battles, thus he was extremely worn out. She did not drink his blood. Over the past two months, Mo Fan was aware that his neck would sprout tiny holes every now and then. He was guessing it was Liu Ru. She seemed to only be able to drink only his blood to stay alive, yet she was not willing to face him, thus she would only visit him while he was asleep... She never overdid it, and never showed the greed of a vampire. For a healthy human, losing some blood would actually promote blood circulation, like donating it. Liu Ru would always control her desire without affecting Mo Fan’s health. Looking at the closed window and the mark on his neck, Mo Fan let out a wry smile. Mo Fan knew she was still in the city, and watching over him secretly. However, Mo Fan never thought she would choose this path. Even though she would need to drink his blood in order to survive, she was still unwilling to step into his world and disturb his life... —— The Nanling Mountains... Even when one was flying high up in the sky, there was no visible end to the mountains. Two pairs of Wind Wings spread open, gliding below the layer of the clouds. The wings slashed the white clouds apart, leaving an obvious trail behind. The owner of the wings was a long-haired man with a stubbled face. He was wearing a torn military jacket, dried blood stains on it. Below him was a boundless mountain range, glowing eyes poking out between the trees and staring at the human who dared to trespass over their territory. However, despite a great number of demon wolves having gathered, none of them dared to attack the human... because the human was holding an enormous wolf head in his right hand! The wolf head had two horns and lines indicating a noble lineage on its forehead. Its fangs were exposed to the air. It was beheaded around the middle part of its neck, blood still coming out from the cut, dripping onto the mountains. As the human flew forward, it left a trail of blood on the ground, from one mountain to the next! The demon wolves living in the area did not dare to try and kill the human, as the head he was holding in his hand belonged to their ruler, the Darkwing Wolf! The man had invaded the demon wolves’ territory, and ended up bringing the Darkwing Wolf’s head back to Bo City. ——————— When the hero Zhan Kong arrived at Bo City, the civilians found themselves tearing up, their hearts filled with respect toward the Battlemage. “Zhan Kong, you have disobeyed your orders. Didn’t I tell you that we’d find some way to eliminate the Demon Wolves Horde, but you insisted on doing it your own way. If you die, Bo City will be in danger...” scolded the new Commander protecting Bo City, Jiang Yu. Zhan Kong threw the Darkwing Wolf’s head to the ground and said coldly, “If I continue to wait for a coward like you to do it, how long will it take before the dead of Bo City finds their peace?” “What did you say!” snapped Jiang Yu. “You can punish me however you want, I’ll accept it when the time comes.” Zhan Kong did not stop there. His Wind Wings prepared to send him back into the sky. “Where are you going!?” snapped Jiang Yu when he saw that Zhan Kong was not paying any attention to him. “I”m going to look for Salan,” said Zhan Kong. “The Black Vatican’s Red Cardinal?” Jiang Yu was stunned. Salan! A name that would make many authorities of the Magic Associations shiver in fear! Zhan Kong did not explain further. He flew into the distance despite the injuries to his body... The greatest threat to Bo City had been eliminated, thus he would leave the rest to Jiang Yu. ——— 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Zhan Kong’s eyes were staring to the northwest, filled with murderous intent. Not only did Zhan Kong kill the Darkwing Wolf at the Nanling Mountains, he had also discovered a shocking conspiracy! Bo City was never Salan’s real target! “Yu’Er, if I can survive this, I’ll look for you under the gaps of Tianshan Mountain... “If not, please forgive me for not keeping my promise.” “You know I, Zhan Kong, am never intimidated by anyone, but this Salan, his evil is something that no one has ever seen before. The fear he brings is enough to penetrate my bones...” Zhan Kong wore a dark expression, his hand clenched tightly around a broken necklace. The sky and the ground were connected into one. The road ahead was filled with uncertainty. He knew that the closer he was to that person, the closer he would be to death, but he was left with no choice. His figure grew smaller as he flew into the distance on his hunt...
