Chapter 69: Inferno (1/2)

Chapter 69: Inferno

The blade flew through the air like a rapidly setting sun. The Heavenly Wolf let out an enraged howl.

Zhang Sheng’an gazed at the Heavenly Wolf as it continued to howl bleakly, a confident smile on his face.

“Do you think I’m that easy to kill?” he said.

He raised his hand, and a piercing ray of light began to shine from a ring on his finger.

The image of a ferocious tiger slowly began to appear. It also let out a furious howl as it charged towards the Heavenly Moon-Swallowing Wolf, becoming entangled with it.

Su Chen’s powerful blade strike had been nullified just like that.

Next, Zhang Sheng’an pulled out another item. It looked to be a vial of some sorts.

He slammed the vial onto the ground, and a cloud of fog instantly mushroomed, expanding in all directions. Unexpectedly, Zhang Sheng’an also possessed a vial of Fog Medicine.

Zhang Sheng’an was concealed by the expanding fog as he laughed, “Did you really think that you would win as long as you got close to me? How naive! The battle has just begun!”

The only reply he got was a large Firehawk flying towards him.

Zhang Sheng’an hurriedly dodged, but the Firehawk unexpectedly chased after him, its beak tearing a large chunk of flesh off his shoulder. The pain sent him reeling. He gestured, and a patch of thistles reached out towards the Firehawk, but it exploded on the spot, the flames burning the thistles to a crisp.

In terms of terrain, Zhang Sheng’an had an inherent advantage in the forest, but in terms of Origin Skills, fire-type Origin Skills were super effective against plant-type Origin Skills.

The flames continued to expand, washing over Zhang Sheng’an. Before he had time to respond, two more Firehawks swooped towards him followed by a wave of Origin Energy Bullets that accurately rained on Zhang Sheng’an. Su Chen was not affected by the fog at all – as someone who had been blind for a number of years, adapting to the sound of the wind was something he was very good at.

Zhang Sheng’an was sent flying through the air by two large explosions.

The barrier he had just set up had already been blasted into smithereens, and he himself had been scorched in certain places.

“Bastard!” Zhang Sheng’an cursed in anger.

Again, the only reply he received was another Firehawk soaring towards him.

Zhang Sheng’an had used the vial of Fog Medicine to deal with Su Chen, but it had only aided him.

Zhang Sheng’an forcefully resisted the pain and touched the necklace he was wearing, causing it to emit a gentle light that covered his entire body.

As he blocked the wave of attacks, Zhang Sheng’an gently rubbed a small statue in his hand.

When he threw the statue into the air, it flew off into the distance.

At that moment, Su Chen sent another Firehawk flying, but Zhang Sheng’an suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already much farther away, and the statue had reappeared in his original location. It was struck by the Firehawk and shattered upon impact.

The statue was a substitution statue. Upon use, the user could swap places with the statue. It was a treasure that archers could use to increase the distance between them and their opponents.

Zhang Sheng’an was quite wealthy. Not only was he quite powerful, but he also had a wealth of treasures that could perform a variety of functions.

After increasing the distance between them again, he applied a vial of wound healing medicine to himself before pulling out a different object.

An arrow!

However, this was not an Anguish Arrow formed by the Tree Demon, but a real, bona fide arrow.

He drew the bow and nocked the arrow towards the patch of fog.

He wanted to take Su Chen’s life with a single arrow.

He had already drawn the bow; all he was waiting for was Su Chen to poke his head out.

However, the fog remained still. Su Chen did not appear.

Zhang Sheng’an was a bit surprised and didn’t know what to do.

Although he was merciless and malicious, he was still a youth. The amount of battle experience he had could not be considered extensive. In fact, given his age, it was already extremely impressive for him to be able to adapt so well.

But at this moment, he was faced with a sudden calm after being fiercely locked in battle for a long time. He was somewhat at a loss.

As he stared intently into the dense fog, Zhang Sheng’an felt a trace of uneasiness begin to well up in his heart.

He realized that the situation was not in his favor.

Why hadn’t his opponent made a move yet? Why was the Fog Medicine lasting for so long? It wasn’t dissipating, but rather slowly expanding……

Expanding……

Something’s off!

Zhang Sheng’an suddenly remembered that Su Chen had also used Fog Medicine against the Clay Giant.

Su Chen also had Fog Medicine, and he was constantly using it to expand the fog. He was within the fog, scheming something.

Zhang Sheng’an suddenly began to feel fear.

He hurriedly retreated, the tip of his arrow wobbling slightly as he yelled, “Come out! Su Chen, if you’re a man, come out!”

There was no reply.

Zhang Sheng’an finally began to feel fear.

This could not continue, otherwise he would be in great danger.

He released the tension in the bow and turned around to run away.

In the instant he lowered bow, however, a figure suddenly charged out of the fog.
