Chapter 5: The Death of Uncle Wu And The Transformation

Direwolf walked towards the two of them step by step. Blood even kept dripping to the ground nonstop from his body. Behind him, severed limbs covered an entire small area. At the moment, he did not only look like a demon just walking out from a bloodbath, he simply was one!

When Direwolf turned his eyes to look at him, Bai Yunfei felt a totally brutal pressure hit him in the face. The tremble from his soul caused his whole body to stiffen. An immeasurable fear filled his mind. All he could see was a blood-red field and a ferocious demon who was walking towards him step by step.

“It’s no good. Quickly run, Yunfei! Let’s split up and quickly run!” Seeing Direwolf coming, Uncle Wu forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted to Bai Yunfei. He then ran to one side.

After running over ten meters away, Uncle Wu turned his head around and discovered that Bai Yunfei was still standing still gazing in bewilderment at the madness that was approaching him step by step.

“Yunfei! Quickly run!” Uncle Wu warned loudly but Bai Yunfei still did not react at all.

At the moment, there was only fear in Bai Yunfei’s mind. The idea of running simply did not exist. The ways those men had died horrible deaths before kept flashing across his mind. Then they seemed to turn into himself. Die, he would die, would die!

Direwolf was already getting closer and closer!

Uncle Wu gave several warning shouts but they were ineffective. Seeing Direwolf walking towards Yunfei, he looked at the hatchet in his hand then took a look at Yunfei, his eyes full of determination. He then turned to Direwolf and threw the hatchet in his hand at him with all his might.

“You devil! Come and kill me!”

Uncle Wu unexpectedly wanted to use himself as a bait to draw Direwolf’s attention, striving to give Bai Yunfei time to run for his life!

Direwolf slightly leaned to one side, avoiding the hatchet. He cast a look at Uncle Wu but still did not chase after him like he thought he would. Instead, he looked at Bai Yunfei again as if thinking of something then gave a faint, amused fierce smile… Afterwards, he picked up a copper hammer which was conveniently lying beside his feet and… threw it at Bai Yunfei!

With a face full of bewilderment, Bai Yunfei stood still over there. If the copper hammer smashed down, he would have absolutely no chance of surviving!

“Bang!”A muffled sound of a heavy object smashing into a body was heard. The audience outside the field gave an exclamation in unison.

They were surprised not because this hammer had hit someone at all, but because this hammer had hit… Uncle Wu instead of Bai Yunfei, who had been standing still!

At the last moment, Uncle Wu had unexpectedly rushed back to Bai Yunfei’s side then pushed him away, but that incoming flying hammer had hit him squarely in his chest!

“Pu!” A mouthful of hot blood gushed out from Uncle Wu’s mouth and splattered in the air and over the copper hammer before falling onto the ground, Bai Yunfei’s face and, more importantly, his mind — ice-cold.

In the blink of an eye, all the sounds around him disappeared. When Bai Yunfei saw Uncle Wu falling towards him and the deeply concerned expression on his face… the missing strength returned to his body. He caught Uncle Wu who was falling down with somewhat stiff movements, put him flat on the ground, knelt down beside him and said in a slightly puzzled manner: “Uncle… Uncle Wu…?”

This sudden unforeseen event stupefied everybody. They stopped shouting temporarily and looked at Bai Yunfei in the field while whispering to each other.

Direwolf also halted his steps. He unexpectedly did not keep going forwards, but looked at the two people not far in front of him with great interest.

Blood kept coming out unceasingly from Uncle Wu’s mouth. A large area of his chest had sunk inwards. The gushing blood had already dyed his clothes red completely.

“Yunfei… Cough cough… You’ve finally woken up, right?… Run, you must run…”

“Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu… Don’t talk, don’t talk… Uncle Wu… You… You must not die… Must not die…” Bai Yunfei wiped the blood gushing out from Uncle Wu’s mouth as his tears streamed down nonstop, dropping on Uncle Wu’s face.

“Ha ha… don’t feel sorry, Yunfei. I have no regret… It’s fine as long as you can survive…”

“You know what? Child, when I first saw the clear look in your eyes, I thought that, if my dear granddaughter was still alive, if both of you were living outside, I would definitely introduce you and Xiao Yu’er to each other. You… would definitely become a happy couple, ha ha… Cough cough!” Perhaps because he was thinking about happy things, or because this was a momentary recovery of consciousness just before death, Uncle Wu uttered these words very quickly. He then had another series of violent coughs, gushing a large amount of blood and even some fragments of his internal organs from his mouth!

“Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu…” Bai Yunfei’s heart hurt as if someone had twisted a knife in it. He simply did not know what to say and could only shout to Uncle Wu over and over again.

Uncle Wu raised a hand with difficulty and wiped the tears from Yunfei’s face, his eyes full of affection:

“Yunfei… You must live on with determination… No matter how difficult it will be, you must not give up hope… Remember my words… You must live… with a clear conscience!”

“It’s a pity in the end… I still haven’t… avenged my dear granddaughter’s… death…”

The hand that was gently caressing Bai Yunfei’s face fell down powerlessly and stopped moving… “Uncle Wu… Uncle Wu…”

Bai Yunfei mechanically murmured while gazing at this old man who he had known for not even half a day, engraving his final expression in his heart.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Bai Yunfei raised his head and cried out loud, but he could not relieve the sorrow in his heart. Two bright red streaks slid down his face… Blood tears!
