Dimensional Codex - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: The Swordsman in the Black

BOOM!

The white beam of light came crashing down like a meteor, blasting apart the wolves. A powerful shockwave swept across the entire battlefield. The wolves that were hit directly by the white light were blown away, wailing as they crashed into the other wolves. The wolves that were invulnerable to arrows and spears were as fragile as paper at this moment. Their bodies were torn to pieces by the eruption of sword energy before they even landed, leaving only a rain of flesh and blood in its wake.

This sudden scene left the wolves and the soldiers on the wall with slack jaws. Both sides turned their heads where the beam of light had fallen. Their eyes widened in surprise immediately as they caught sight of a young man in black slowly standing up. He had a long sword radiating pure brilliance in his right hand. And when he pointed it at the pack of wolves in front of him, his figure seemed like a sharp blade that would never stop advancing.

Facing this young man, the wolves even froze for a second before they rallied and pounced at the uninvited guest in front of them, howling in anger. The smell of blood had stimulated their primitive wild nature. Now, the human that had attacked them had become the pack’s target to be eliminated.

But that was all there was to it.

Feng Zheng just raised his head and looked straight at the wolves in front of him. Perhaps the scene of more than a hundred black wolves pouncing at oneself might be scary enough for an ordinary person to wet their pants but for Fang Zheng, who had commanded an army of Zergs, they were only eighty to hundred wolves. He really didn’t take this seriously.

Therefore, Fang Zheng, facing the oncoming black wolves, just clenched the Skybreaker in his hand and waved forward.

The dazzling brilliance cut a silver arc across the air before several holy crosses appeared before the black wolves and exploded!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The series of explosions caught the attacking wolves unprepared. Their hard fur may have been invulnerable to swords and arrows, but they could not resist this fierce holy power – not to mention that Fang Zheng’s strength itself had risen from E to D.

This strength that could kill a bear with just a punch was no joke!

The vanguard of the wolf pack was crushed instantly in the face of his Crusader Strike as if they had crashed into a transparent wall. But Fang Zheng didn’t stop attacking in light of this. Staring at the black wolves in front of him, he raised the sword in his hand and waved it again!

The Skybreaker in Fang Zheng’s hand started vibrating as he raised it, and when he slashed it forward, the holy light wrapped around the blade split into several beams of light and fanned out before him. Like a meat grinder, the light tore through the invulnerable fur of the black wolves that failed to dodge in time, reducing them to gory pieces of flesh and blood.

“Aoooo~!”

Seeing the heavy casualties of its pack, the alpha wolf standing on the hillside let out a howl. The remaining attacking wolves immediately came to a halt, then separated into two groups from left and right, surrounding Fang Zheng from both sides. The blacks wolves were extremely fast; before Fang Zheng could even retract his sword, the wolves had him completely surrounded from the rear as well!

“Be careful!”

Clark and the others had their hearts jump to their throats at the sight of this scene. They had never imagined the black wolves to be this cunning. In their opinion, now that the young man was completely surrounded, it would be difficult for him to resist the attack of these black wolves even if he had another three heads and six arms. Not to mention that the black wolves at the front had their jaws wide open already, and a dark aura was lingering around their mouths. They were ready to breathe the flames of chaos energy…

But as far as Fang Zheng was concerned, it was all useless.

Of course, Fang Zheng had sensed the intense concentration of chaos energy in the air. Monsters were only monsters because they could control this power. Before, they were caught off guard because Fang Zheng had attacked them too quickly for them to react. But now, these black wolves were clearly reflecting on how to treat their prey.

However, Fang Zheng wasn’t without a solution.

At this moment, the black wolves were within five yards of Fang Zheng. Their jaws were wide open, spluttering sparks from their mouths and noses. In just a moment, they would be ready to breathe flames that could completely wipe out the prey before their eyes.

Meanwhile, the young man in everyone’s view stood his ground, as he flipped the long sword, and thrust it straight into the ground.

In the next moment, a miracle happened.

A dazzling glow of holy light suddenly burst out of the ground around the young man as if it was breaking through the shackles of soil. The black wolves that had jumped into the range of the holy glow wailed as their huge black bodies instantly burst into flames. The white flames swallowed their entire body, burning and spreading.

The wolves finally halted their assault. They yelped in horror and even instinctively began to retreat from this land filled with divine power. The monsters contaminated by the chaos energy were just wild animals. They might breathe fire, but this didn’t mean that they were immune to flames, especially flames containing holy power.

“Aoooo… Aooooooo…!!”

At the sight of this scene, the alpha wolf finally moved. It wandered around the hillside, a little anxious. And then, it howled again as if it had made up its mind, immediately calming the pack of black wolves that were distraught by the sacred flames. They began to regroup and charged again, throwing caution to the wind.

“You can’t fight them head-on!!”

At the sight of this scene, Clark first furrowed his brow before shouting loudly at the young man below.

“Black wolves will not retreat unless the alpha wolf is killed. They will keep on fighting to their ends!”

Alpha wolf.

Fang Zheng frowned upon hearing Clark’s warning. He raised his head immediately and looked about, soon locking on to the huge black figure on the back of the hill. The alpha wolf also seemed to have noticed Fang Zheng’s gaze. It turned its head immediately, glaring fiercely at Fang Zheng; its pair of red eyes filled with madness and fury. As far as Fang Zheng was concerned, these wolves were just serving themselves up to him, no matter how many they were. But if it could save time… The corners of Fang Zheng’s lips curled up slightly upon thinking of this, revealing a smile.

It’s almost time to test that trick.

Fang Zheng clenched the long sword in his hand as this thought crossed his mind.

Clark had no idea what he actually saw. He just caught sight of the young man raising his sword, facing the pack of wolves attacking him again, then charging forward. But before the young man’s sword had even come down, the young man disappeared from his sight the next moment.

Clark didn’t even know how the other party had disappeared. He felt as if he had just blinked, and then the tall young man who was standing there disappeared into thin air. He reached out and rubbed his eyes before looking around again. At last, he caught sight of the young man’s figure.

The young man happened to be standing right behind the huge alpha wolf, motionless.

How did this young man appear there?

SWISH—

A splash of blood flew off the Skybreaker’s edge as it swung through the air. Turning his head, Fang Zheng glanced at the alpha wolf beside him before putting the sword back into its sheath.

CLICK!

The alpha wolf finally moved just as the long sword returned to its sheath. But in the next moment, its head slightly tilted forward with blood spluttering from its neck, dyeing the snow red. Immediately afterward, it body fell sideways without any sound.

What the hell happened?

Clark’s eyes widened in surprise. He was unable to fathom what he saw. The alpha wolf was killed so easily!? Wait, wait, wait; what about its pack?

Having thought of this, Clark hurriedly turned his head and looked at the pack of wolves not far below the wall. But much to his surprise, the black wolves were like sculptures, standing still in their places, as if they had been frozen into ice sculptures by the cold wind, as if separated from time, frozen individually.

Then, time began to flow.

Immediately, countless dazzling blades of light bloomed like lotus flowers out of thin air, devouring these dark beasts completely.
