Chapter 2 — A Bizarre Scene (1/2)

The situation was one of a large tiger and a pack of wolves competing for food—specifically, Yun Wu’s flesh. Both sides, tiger and wolves, exhibited their thirst and desire to devour her, and evidently, neither were willing to share.

Yun Wu watched warily with her back pressed against the cliff wall. Suddenly, her head felt like it was splitting in half. In her mind, golden light exploded. Waves of information poured in and then vanished without a trace, akin to a stone sinking into the bottomless ocean, leaving her with the sensation of an odd qi stream flowing through her meridians.

She wondered what now? but in any case, she wasn’t in the mood to think about other things. She knew she was currently no different from a fish on a cutting board, capable of nothing but waiting for the beasts to start fighting.

Could it be that right after revival, she would die in the mouths of these beasts?

No, definitely not.

She already made it clear that anyone who owed her would receive payback of a hundredfold, and right now, anyone who wanted to take her life would be repaid by having theirs taken.The beasts in front of her were no exceptions!

Yun Wu clenched her teeth as she propped up her broken, battered body. Even the slit tendons of her hands and feet were unable to prevent her from setting foot onto the path of blood.

What she didn’t know was that the strange qi in her meridians, coupled with her willpower, had replaced her devastated tendons. Little by little, she straightened up while using the cliff wall as support, and at that moment, her terrifying mentality seemed to have taken control of her body.

Her injuries and the pain coursing through her limbs were forgotten—she remembered only hatred and revenge. Murderous intent instantly rose from the depths of her soul as heinous animosity smothered her dantian.

“Agh!” A furious, human roar, carrying with it a penetrative murderous aura, tore from her throat. When that sound came out, the steadily approaching wolf pack and large tiger abruptly took a step back.

Yun Wu’s bloodstained hands grabbed ahold of a sharp piece of feldspar1, and her two eyes took on a cold-blooded scarlet hue as she glared fiercely at the group of beasts before her.

Want to eat her? She’ll let them fill their stomachs with their own blood.

Seeming to have sensed her murderous intent, hesitancy flashed in the eyes of the magical beasts. Shortly after, against their better judgments, they let their bestial nature take over.

“Grr…”

“Ahoooo…”

Yowls resounded. One by one, the beasts revealed their fangs and pounced on her. Murderous intent surged in Yun Wu’s scarlet eyes. Faced with the wolf pack’s attacks, she bent her knees, leaped while pulling her hand back, and mercilessly pierced the skulls of two Iron-Back Wolves with her sharp feldspar.

When she pulled out her makeshift weapon, thick blood poured out of the wolves’ heads and instantaneously soiled the already-bloodsoaked clothes on her body and seeped into the ancient necklace hanging from her neck. Under her garments, a faint, black light gradually blossomed.

This escaped Yun Wu’s notice.

She moved like a lightning bolt, just as though this battered body of hers had transformed into the body she occupied in her previous life; usually lax, but once she attacked, the blow would guarantee to be a fatal blow.
