The Creatures That We Are

Chapter 631: Hahahahaha

Clang!

As soon as she said that, something broke the glass window and flew into the living room, rolling to a stop at their feet—eight sleep gas grenades with metal cases.

Qing Ling had flown them into the building quickly from afar with Metal.

Beep.

A second later, a layer of frost spread across the floor and froze the grenades, preventing the sleep gas from releasing.

“Out!” Azure Dragon shouted and dashed out of the house, worried what followed the sleep gas would be bombs.

Unbeknownst to him, the grenades were only props. The Nine Scions lacked resources, and outside of the weapons the members always carried, they had no other combat equipment.

Team Azure Dragon sprang into action readily, each rushing out to the front yard in different ways.

“They’re close,” said Six Rime.

“I’ll look for them.” Old Lion rode on his lion and clasped his hands together above its head. The lion’s eyes glowed blue, and it roared.

All mammals within a thousand-meter radius—including vermin in the sewerage, stray cats and dogs on the streets, and the pet cats and dogs in the mansions—received an order and started searching for suspicious targets.

Black Fish activated Clairvoyance with his right eye, ignoring the obstacles as he looked for possible enemies.

“Above!” Azure Dragon was the first to detect a threat with his six senses pushed to the limit. It was Gray Bear. Grabbing onto two Black Gold blades, he flew toward the mansion like a cannonball. When he was thirty meters from the ground, he let go and plunged toward the front yard.

“Ahhhh!”

Gray Bear screamed, activating level 6 Beastly.

His body increased quickly in size, his hair growing and his body breaking his clothes and dress shoes. In two seconds, he transformed into a three-meter giant bear weighing one tonne.

Bam! Gray Bear landed on his limbs, leaving a crater on the lawn and scattering soil everywhere.

Black Fish couldn’t dodge out of the way in time. He would’ve gotten crushed into paste if Azure Dragon hadn’t grabbed him.

Growl. Old Lion rode on his lion, which was slightly smaller than Gray Bear, and lunged at him.

Gray Bear was more agile than he appeared to be. With a stomp, he leaped off the crater and dodged the lion’s bite, lunging at Veggie.

Rather than staying like a sitting duck, Veggie shouted, “Magic Hair!” And her bun loosened, her hair quickly growing longer.

Whoosh, whoosh. Her black hair shot toward Gray Bear like tens of thousands of black wires, attempting to grapple him. However, she had underestimated level 6 Beastly’s defense and explosive power.

The giant bear grabbed two handfuls of black hair with a vise-like grip and yanked, pulling Veggie toward him. The petite girl was like a little rabbit about to fall into the bear’s large, fang-filled maw. Gray Bear would be able to crush her fair neck and delicate shoulder with a bite.

Whoosh. Azure Dragon, who had just saved Black Fish, charged at Gray Bear at a speed that rivaled War Tiger when his Killing Expert was pushed to the max, only slightly slower than Teleportation.

Feeling a fierce wave of pressure coming from the side, Gray Bear let go of the hair in his grasp without hesitation, whirling around as quickly as he could with his arms crossed before his chest.

Azure Dragon made a straight punch.

Boom!

Gray Bear’s arms went numb, and the left arm that took the brunt of the attack broke, his two elbows almost getting dislocated. Even with a defense that rivaled a tank, his one-tonne body ended up thrown into the stone wall of the front yard, crashing through the wall and falling to the street.

Azure Dragon didn’t give chase. He knew that Gray Bear wasn’t alone. Their real enemies had not made an appearance.

He glanced at Six Rime. “He’s yours, Six Rime. If he doesn’t surrender, kill him.”

“Yes, sir.” Six Rime ran toward Gray Bear.

Is this Azure Dragon’s true power? Fucking ridiculous!

Gray Bear got to his feet and ran, enduring his pain while laughing toward the sky.

“Hahahahaha!”

“Hahahahaha!”

“Hahahahaha!”

One week before Gao Yang broke off from the Guild, Gray Bear had comprehended Jeer after getting drunk. The only one who knew about it was Lithe Snake.

Lithe Snake suggested that he kept it a secret just like Lithe Snake had hidden his Self-Detonate, and Gray Bear listened.

He only told others about it after the Nine Scions’ establishment.

Qing Ling incorporated his Talent into their strategy. Once Jeer activated, everyone other than the strong-willed Azure Dragon felt a rising ire in their hearts, and they wanted nothing but to kill Gray Bear as quickly as possible.

They followed Six Rime in chasing Gray Bear.

“Stop!”

Azure Dragon quickly stopped Black Fish, Veggie, and Core East, but Flower Turtle, Forest Crane, and Old Lion had already gotten far.

He turned to Black Fish. “Keep an eye on Dr. Jia.”

“Will do!” With Gray Bear’s laughter growing distant, Black Fish recovered his calm. He rushed back into the mansion.

“Veggie, Core East, you...” Azure Dragon trailed off when he caught a figure at the corner of his eye, the great pressure it radiated wild and explosive.

It’s a strong one!

That was Azure Dragon’s instinct.

He took a step forward while turning to his side, raising his arms to take the punch his opponent threw. Boom! The punch was imbued with no Talent, only raw power. Clashing with Azure Dragon’s top-level physique, the force of it unleashed a shockwave, throwing Veggie and Core East off their feet.

They made a flip midair and landed on the ground, staggering several steps back before steadying their footing.

Core East calmed himself and got a clear look at their opponent. It was Seven Shadow’s most powerful companion, Wang Zikai. The terrifying wanderer had almost killed Forest Crane with a single punch before.

Under the cold moonlight, Wang Zikai’s profile looked sharp, his blond hair messy and his eyes and teeth bright.

He pulled his fist back and narrowed his eyes, grinning haughtily. “You’re Azure Dragon? Good, you seem like the real deal.”

Azure Dragon remained composed, his gaze fierce. “A wanderer stronger than a pride monster. How strange.”

“What wanderer?” Wang Zikai’s smile dropped. He pointed at his chest with a thumb, irritated. “I’m the chosen one. I’m God!”

Azure Dragon stared.

Does he even know what he’s talking about?

Forget it. I’ll make this quick.

Azure Dragon disappeared.

Wang Zikai was taken aback. Holy, he’s quick!

Azure Dragon was already on Wang Zikai’s right when the thought flashed through his mind, making a swing at his face.

Wang Zikai raised his hands to block the punch, but then a fierce gust came from under his chin.

A feint!

Azure Dragon’s left heel slammed into Wang Zikai’s chin from below.
