Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Slaying the City with a Single Sword (Second Update)
Translator: 549690339
Snow Wolf City.
A city located at the foot of the snowy mountains.
Because it is the habitation of giant wolves, there are towering houses everywhere.
Of course, the tallest buildings had to be the Temple of Wolf God in the center of the city.
At this moment.
At the gate of Snow Wolf City, a few giant wolves were grumbling.
“Damn, we got even less vodka this time, it’s really boring!” a giant wolf with a streak of golden fur on its head said.
“Heh, you think it’s really less? The supplies distributed to each city are fixed. If there’s a sudden decrease, it must be those above skimming off the top!” another giant wolf sneered.
“Shush, keep your voice down, will you? Be careful the Snow Wolf King hears you, that’s the Bloodline of the Wolf God!” an older and more mature giant wolf hastily advised.
“Hmph, if this great Snow Wolf was esteemed, he wouldn’t have been relegated to a backwater like this. Besides, he’s out of the city now, isn’t he? Can’t I even talk about it?”
This giant wolf’s complaints resonated with many people.
After the Snow Wolf King arrived here, he started to extort and amass wealth, embezzling many supplies to satisfy his own greed, which truly failed to win the hearts of the wolves.
At that time, a group of humans passed by the city gate.
“Stop!” a giant wolf blocked their path.
“Gr…great one, we are here to clean for the lords inside!” the leader, an elderly man, trembled as he spoke.
The giant wolf looked at the shabby, ramshackle elder and the people behind him, then waved them away with some disappointment, “Get lost quickly!”
After the group entered the city, the giant wolf sighed and said, “Damn, can’t touch a drop of grease the whole day, it’s really boring!”
While they were grumbling, a huge noise came from a distance.
A few wolves guarding the city looked up and saw a dense crowd in the sky, with the dust they kicked up during their run obscuring the sun and creating an intimidating spectacle.
The wolves were first stunned, then became terrified.
“By the Wolf God above, have these lowlifes gone crazy?”
“Quick, ring the bell to sound the alarm!”
The wolves began to frantically ring the bell to alert others.
Because Snow Wolf City was small and surrounded only by commoners, the guards usually consisted of just a few of them.
No sooner had they rung the bell than the dark mass of people had already reached the foot of the city walls.
At that point, the giant wolves also calmed down from their initial panic.
Especially when they saw that the arriving group consisted entirely of lowlifes with sticks, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“I thought it was something serious, tsk tsk, just a bunch of lowlifes!” one of the wolves said with disdain.
To them, these lowlifes were as weak and easily bullied as lambs to the slaughter, not worthy of fear.
“I’m going down to kill them all!”
A giant wolf leaped down from the high city wall, carrying a huge wolf fang club in its hand, and rushed towards the crowd with a sinister laugh.
This giant wolf was more than three meters tall, and its menacing charge caused the crowd to become restless.
So many years of oppression had made many people fear the giant wolves to their bones, and upon seeing one charging at them, their instinct was to flee.
“Fire the arrows, fire quickly!” Wu Qing shouted.
The people raised their crossbows and started shooting arrows at the wolf.
But because of the wolf’s extremely fast speed, the arrows had not yet struck before it had already barreled past.
“Heh heh, lowlifes, all of you go to hell!” The giant wolf’s eyes glinted cruelly as it raised its club, ready to swing.
Just then, a beam of golden light flew in from afar at great speed, circling the wolf once.
The wolf froze on the spot, and then its massive body slowly split into several pieces.
This scene prompted a huge cheer from the crowd.
And on the city wall, several giant wolves were shocked and horrified.
“What’s going on? What was that golden light just now?”
At the same time, the entire Snow Wolf City boiled over as a few hundred wolves rushed to the wall.
They all rushed over after hearing the alarm bell.
Seeing so many giant wolves, many human citizens turned pale.
“You lowly commoners, why have you disturbed our Snow Wolf City for no reason?” A noticeably larger giant wolf stepped forward and bellowed its question.
In the absence of the Snow Wolf King, it was the ruler of Snow Wolf City.
After a moment of silence, someone in the crowd took the lead and shouted, “We are not lowly commoners, you beasts are!”
“Yes! We are not lowly commoners! You beasts are!”
These shouts caused the giant wolves to bristle with anger.
The acting City Lord sneered, “Since you are seeking death, then don’t blame us. Slaughter these lowly commoners!”
At this command, several hundred giant wolves began to slowly advance.
As they moved, it seemed as if the earth itself trembled.
But at this moment, the human citizens’ eyes were red with rage, and they pointed whatever they could use as a weapon at the giant wolves.
They had already disregarded their own lives.
This fierce and fearless spirit bewildered the giant wolves.
Why had these once weak and easily bullied humans suddenly united?
“Slaughter them all!” Fear flashed in the acting City Lord’s wolfish eyes as it ordered fiercely.
But just as its words ended, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared around its neck and swiftly circled it.
The massive wolf’s head soared into the sky.
The wolf’s body tumbled off the city wall, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This sight stunned all the giant wolves.
What exactly was that golden light?
Yet, the human citizens let out a thunderous cheer, with someone shouting, “Sir, your might is unparalleled!”
At the same time, Xue An’s figure appeared in the air in front of the crowd, facing the few hundred wolves and said indifferently, “Today, I will let you taste what it’s like to have your city slaughtered!”
With his words, countless sword lights rained down like a downpour, striking at the wolves.
The giant wolves initially did not take these hair-thin sword lights seriously, but in an instant, the sword rain engulfed them.
Screams mixed with blood turned the walls of Snow Wolf City crimson.
Seeing these giant wolves, who always lorded above them and were stained with human blood, falling one by one…
Many human tears streamed uncontrollably.
City Lord Ni shook with excitement.
The scene they had imagined countless times since childhood had finally become a reality.
A few moments later, the entire wolf pack turned into puddles of blood, and even the city walls collapsed under the barrage of sword rain.
The loud noise shocked the enslaved humans within the city, and then they witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives.
The countless sword rains fell, and the human citizens were completely unscathed, whereas those domineering giant wolves were enveloped by the sword rain and, after several screams, turned into pus and white bones.
Suddenly, the stench of wolf blood filled the entire Snow Wolf City, rising up to the sky.
In that moment, Xue An slaughtered the city with a single sword!
And just then, a great howl emanated from the center of the city, from the Temple of Wolf God.
“Who is it? Who dares to slaughter my people?”
As these words echoed, a giant wolf radiating a cool radiant light slowly emerged from the temple.
