It was as though there was no finesse invoked between them, only brute force, and nothing more fanciful to it than the outright contention of raw power.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Once more, Greedy Wolf was sent staggering back at least ten steps. The long robe he had on him was now reduced to tatters.
Streaks of crimson marred his chest, all of which were inflicted by Jiang Ning's knuckles.
Any single one of those strikes would have killed a person outright. But on Greedy Wolf's body, they only showed up as cuts.
Even Jiang Ning was a little marveled by the toughness of that body.
What he did not notice was the even greater look of astonishment in Greedy Wolf's eyes. Over the course of their exchanges to this point, the latter's body was adorned with countless wounds while Jiang Ning's showed nary a blemish!
Greedy Wolf breathed in deeply. There was a subtle shift in his gaze, and it was as if Greedy Wolf's own spirit had begun to joust for control over the body anew.
It would be impossible for him to express his own potency effectively fighting under these circumstances, and he considered that the repercussions of this situation might be even more far-reaching.
With eyes narrowed, he regarded Jiang Ning. “You're good. Stay alive, so that in time, I may come to take your life myself.”
Following that, he glanced over to Jiang Yao, the last Source that he was similarly determined to stake his claim on.
Then, Greedy Wolf turned his back and disappeared without a trace, faster than the eye can see.
Jiang Ning forwent pursuit and heaved heavily several times in order to recover himself.
Dueling with a fearsome warrior like Greedy Wolf was no mean feat. The fact that he managed to do so earlier was sufficiently shocking to everyone who witnessed it.
“Jiang Yao!”
When Jiang Ning approached, the little girl swiftly threw herself into his arms.
“Daddy! Are you alright?” Jiang Yao's concern was palpable on her face.
“I'm fine.” Relieved, Jiang Ning inhaled and gave Jiang Yao a peck on her little cheeks. “There's nothing for you to worry about, Yaoyao.”
Seeing that Jiang Yao was alright, he could finally set his own fretting mind at ease.
“Did that fellow hurt you?”
“Were you referring to Uncle?”
