C4 Making a Move

After leaving the rental property, the sky had already turned to dusk. He had a premonition that Yu Haifeng wouldn't let today's events slide. It was time to brace for the impending storm.

As Xiao Han walked down the street, he suddenly sensed a familiar presence behind him—a killing intent. His keen instincts told him there was a wave of malice, but it wasn't aimed at him.

Turning to trace the source of this intent, he saw a girl in a white windbreaker sprinting in his direction, with a mysterious figure in black hot on her heels. The murderous aura was emanating from this pursuer.

"Run, student! The creature behind me is a demon in human guise!" the girl in the white windbreaker yelled at Xiao Han, who was rooted to the spot. His Starry Sky Academy badge made him easily recognizable.

Xiao Han wasn't one to interfere in others' affairs. He had planned to take a different path at the upcoming alley to avoid the chase, but unexpectedly, the black-clad stranger sped up, overtaking the girl and confronting him—an innocent bystander.

This was unexpected...

Xiao Han was somewhat at a loss for words. He had intended to turn a blind eye, but that was no longer an option.

"Run! With your early period Spirit Energy, you're no match for that late period wolf demon!" the girl in the white windbreaker urgently cried out after the space wolf demon had targeted Xiao Han. In her eyes, Xiao Han was merely a novice Spirit Weaver with early period Spirit Energy—no match for a late period wolf demon.

Even she, a Spirit Weaver in the early period, couldn't stand against the wolf demon, much less him.

With a thud, the mysterious man in black swung his fist at Xiao Han's face, only to be blocked by Xiao Han's hand.

The force of the blow sent a jolt of pain through Xiao Han's left hand.

"Huh?" The man in black was taken aback to find his punch thwarted by Xiao Han.

He was of the evilkind, and the other was merely a human with early period Spirit Energy. He was a fully-fledged late period master of the evilkind. How could Xiao Han possibly block his punch with mere physical strength?

In a moment of distraction, the mysterious figure clad in black was caught off guard as Xiao Han delivered a sudden and powerful knee strike to his abdomen. Despite the man's origins as a member of the evilkind, Xiao Han's strength was not to be taken lightly. The blow caused the figure to grimace in agony and stumble backward, his human disguise fading away to reveal his true form—a werewolf.

With a swift whoosh, the wolf demon sprang forward, closing the distance to Xiao Han in an instant. Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Han retreated, the Skybreaker Spear materializing in his grasp.

The spear in his hand cut through the air with a menacing whoosh. The wolf demon, having already underestimated his opponent once and paid the price, was not about to make the same mistake. He quickly sidestepped the spear's edge and lunged at Xiao Han.

The wolf demon's eyes blazed with ferocity and a murderous aura that was so intense it made a nearby girl in white tremble with fear.

"Think you can outmatch my presence? You're seeking your own demise," Xiao Han said with a cold laugh. An overwhelming aura of slaughter erupted from him like a tidal wave, instantly overpowering the wolf demon's own. The creature's previously swift advance was halted by a sudden rigidity.

The wolf demon's aura might have been the result of slaying a hundred lives, but Xiao Han's was the kind that could only be forged through the demise of tens of thousands. They were simply not on the same level.

His spear moved like a dragon, his assault as swift as a rainbow. The wolf demon, coming to his senses, dodged just in time as the spear turned and whistled toward him. But as he leapt to evade the strike, Xiao Han's spear cleverly jabbed upward, striking him between the legs.

The wolf demon howled in agony, cursing how his opponent seemed even more cunning than a demon.

Before he could even strategize a rapid descent from mid-air, several wind blades appeared from nowhere, slicing into the wolf demon's flesh. Blood sprayed in all directions, leaving the wolf demon dazed and bewildered. He couldn't fathom the nature of the attack—formless, exceedingly fast, and without any warning, as if conjured from thin air.

With a thud, the wolf demon's body hit the ground, struggling to remain upright. It was inconceivable to him that the person before him was merely in the early period of Spirit Energy cultivation.

No, it couldn't be possible. If this man were truly at the early period, the wolf demon would not be at a disadvantage.

"Human, you have successfully enraged me!"

The wolf demon bellowed furiously, its form swiftly swelling to over two meters tall, its eyes morphing into a pair of blood-red, demonic orbs.

"Interesting," Xiao Han murmured, a hint of a smile gracing his face. He hadn't yet had a proper fight with someone of equal strength since arriving in this world. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity to test his skills against the wolf demon.

With a swift whoosh, the wolf demon's legs propelled it forward, becoming a blur as it charged at Xiao Han. But Xiao Han's reflexes were lightning-fast. He not only evaded the swipe of the wolf demon's lethal claws but also seized the moment to thrust his spear into the wolf demon's underarm.

Boom! The spear's tip erupted into intense flames. Xiao Han was determined to show the inhabitants of Blue Star and the wolf demon the true power of magic arts.

A short distance away, a girl clad in white gaped in astonishment as she witnessed the spear in Xiao Han's grasp ignite with fire. In all her years, she had never seen nor heard of a spear that could emit flames and cause an explosion.

Could it be that this man's awakening to the spear's intent was linked to the fire attribute?

While the girl was still processing the scene, the wolf demon had already regrouped and launched another assault.

This time, the wolf demon aimed to strike from behind Xiao Han, its claws slicing through the air towards his back. It had anticipated several potential counter-moves from Xiao Han, but unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning struck the wolf demon, paralyzing its movements.

In that moment of rigidity, Xiao Han spun around, his spear thrusting forward with tremendous force, piercing straight through the wolf demon's chest.

The wolf demon, known for its formidable regenerative abilities, intended to remove the spear from its chest and flee. It had come to the realization that victory was unattainable against this unpredictable opponent, who could unleash bizarre and powerful moves at any second.

As Xiao Han contemplated his next move, he channeled all the remaining Spirit Energy within him. In a flash, a fierce blaze erupted from the tip of his spear, rapidly engulfing the wolf demon's entire body in flames.

"Ah!"

The wolf demon's agonized screams tore through the air. But before it could cry out again, Xiao Han swiftly thrust his spear, and the creature collapsed into a pool of blood.

This deserted street was devoid of pedestrians for a reason. Had there been any witnesses, Xiao Han's feat would have surely gone viral on all the major video platforms today.
