Chapter 63
The strange wolf continued to call for its companions.
Sure enough, a slightly smaller strange wolf sprang out from the nearby bushes.
The two strange wolves glared menacingly, clearly dividing the crowd into two groups.
One group was close to the van, while the other was trapped outside.
Unfortunately for Chen Huai'an, he belonged to the group that was trapped outside, along with Su Xingchen and the lead cameraman.
Su Xingchen and the cameraman were already in despair. There was no way they could cross the strange wolves' blockade to reach the van, and Director Zhang's group wouldn't risk their lives to save them.
What were they supposed to do now?
In the midst of their panic, one person remained as steady as a rock.
That was Chen Huai'an.
"Ai Mu, Su Pu'er Man!" Chen Huai'an said to himself.
The cancer cells and boundless potential resonated within his life force.
He could hear it.
He raised his cold, piercing gaze to stare at the wolf demon, his eyes filled with disdain and confidence.
Think of him, Chen Xianzun, who had once split the gates of the Qingyun Sect with a single sword strike, leaving the old dog Qing Xuan kneeling in the square, unable to move. What was a mere oddly-shaped wolf to him?
Su Xingchen quickly noticed the unusual calmness of Chen Huai'an.
Could it be that this guy had a plan?
Then she saw Chen Huai'an take a horse stance, raising his cane to point at the strange wolf, while his free left hand beckoned the creature.
Su Xingchen: "..."
No, wait, she couldn't underestimate Huai'an!
Maybe Chen Huai'an knew martial arts!
A flicker of hope reignited in Su Xingchen's heart.
Yes, after all, Chen Huai'an was a terminal cancer patient and a disabled person.
If he hadn't trained his body since childhood, he would have collapsed by now. But here he was, not only climbing Tianmen Mountain but also keeping up with the group, even more effortlessly than anyone else!
The answer was already on the tip of her tongue.
The strange wolf, provoked, let out a low growl and lunged forward.
Su Xingchen was so frightened that she shut her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Huai'an swung his cane like a dragon, exuding a fierce killing intent, even carrying a hint of sword energy!
Fast, accurate, ruthless!
The cane struck the strange wolf's head.
Crack—!
Was that the sound of the wolf's skull shattering?
Su Xingchen opened one eye and saw two broken pieces of the cane on the ground.
Oh, it was Huai'an's cane that broke...
But Chen Huai'an still stood in front of them, a lone warrior against a thousand foes!
Did he have another trick up his sleeve?
Su Xingchen and the cameraman stared at Chen Huai'an's back, wide-eyed.
Chen Huai'an slowly turned his head, a kind yet grim smile on his face.
"Stop looking..."
"Run! Now!!!"

Chapter 66: A Big Shot (Fat Gold and Cheap Layer +1)
The strange wolf was dazed from the blow of the cane, shaking its head a few times before it could barely regain its senses.
It couldn't understand how it was possible that a mere human could stop its attack with a stick.
What baffled it even more was that, at the moment the stick came down, it felt a jolt of fear, as if that stick had been a sword, and it would have been severed in two.
This human... was strong?
The wolf stared at the fleeing figures of the three, confusion filling its eyes.
If this human was that strong, why was it running away?
So this human was weak; the earlier incident was just a fluke!
Chase!
The wolf figured it out, and its speed was astonishing. In a few leaps, it was behind Chen Huai'an.
Fixating on the human's neck, the wolf's eyes gleamed brighter.
On Chen Huai'an's back, the illusory black dragon was gradually solidifying.
In a split second, Chen Huai'an accidentally stepped on a stone.
His body lost balance instantly, and two Lei Huo talismans slipped from his chest and fell to the ground, while his right leg kicked backward in a reflexive motion.
The kick came out of nowhere, but it landed squarely on the wolf's jaw.
Crack—!
Boom!
With the sound of a jawbone breaking, the strange wolf was sent flying by a tremendous force, rolling into the bushes.
Chen Huai'an fell flat on his back.
Seeing this, Su Xingchen and the cameraman, who were still running ahead, quickly turned back to help him.
"Don't! You two hurry and go!"
Chen Huai'an's face turned pale from the pain; he didn't even know what he had kicked. It felt like his right heel had cracked.
He didn't look back, thinking the wolf was still chasing them.
"How can we leave you behind? We should all go together while the wolf hasn't caught up!"
Su Xingchen bent down, and with the cameraman on one side, they helped Chen Huai'an up.
Only then did Chen Huai'an turn to glance at the empty space behind them, puzzled.
He had clearly felt the wolf lunging at him just moments ago; how had it vanished so quickly?
Strange, very strange.
...
Meanwhile, deep in the bushes.
A strange wolf with a shattered jaw staggered to its feet.
Compared to the blow from the stick, its head was now even more dazed, its ears ringing, and its jaw felt as if it had been smashed by one of those iron boxes humans drove.
This pain ignited its ferocity.
Its emerald eyes gradually turned red, panting heavily, its body swelling like a balloon, and its thick mane flaring out like sharp steel needles.
Since gaining higher intelligence, this was the first time it had felt such pain from a human, reminding it of the day it was knocked away by the iron box.
Die!
Humans must die!
This mountain was once its territory, but now it had become a playground for humans. They had been driven deeper into the forest, forced to be wary of those fast-moving iron boxes.
Why should this be?!
"Awwooo—!"
The wolf howled as it charged out of the bushes.
With the majesty of a king, it arrived, imposing and filled with murderous intent.
The inky night surrounded it, cheering for its arrival.
The wolf vowed to make the humans who had humiliated it pay dearly.
Its keen sense of smell instantly locked onto the scent of the three.
It sprinted on all fours, fast as lightning.
Then it stepped on a Lei Huo talisman.
Huh?
Boom—!
...
Chen Huai'an, who was fleeing, paused for a moment.
That thunder sounded oddly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Why is it thundering? Isn't it a clear day?" Su Xingchen also felt something was off; the wind carried a scent of something burning.
Supporting Chen Huai'an, who was an adult male, Su Xingchen and the cameraman soon found it hard to keep running. Fortunately, they spotted a small wooden cabin, and the three hurried inside, shutting the door behind them to take temporary refuge.
Chen Huai'an leaned against the door.
He felt that his right foot no longer hurt.
But given his identity as a disabled person, he didn't want to show it right away. What if he accidentally revealed it and had to pay back for the show?
"Huai'an, why are you sitting by the door? It's so dangerous."
Su Xingchen said as she tried to pull Chen Huai'an inside.
Chen Huai'an raised his eyes and waved his hand, saying calmly:
"If that wolf breaks in, I can still buy you two a chance to escape. You can flee through the window while I hold the door. My life is already short; if you save me, I will naturally owe you one."
Hearing this, Su Xingchen's eyes turned red again, and she pouted, sitting beside Chen Huai'an, sniffling: "Huai'an, you're too good! I've already called the police; everyone will be fine!"
"You're too kind. I'm just an ordinary person." Chen Huai'an was about to take out his phone to play a game when he suddenly noticed the cameraman's lens was still pointed at him.
Chen Huai'an was taken aback: "Wait, dude, you're still recording?"
The sweaty cameraman chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth: "Hehe, professional ethics."
...
Five minutes earlier—
"Ahhh! The wolf! The wolf is eating people!
The wolf is eating people! Ahhh!"
"Hehe, the wolf, the wolf is coming,
Hehe..."
Cai Yifan lay twisted on the deformed van door, convulsing. The others huddled in the half-destroyed van, trembling in fear.
Not far away, a giant wolf lay in a pool of blood.
