"You see me as prey?"
Upon hearing Adolf's words, the Death Knight's eyes flashed with cold light as he asked, "Who are you?"
"Listen carefully, I am the young master of the Adolf family, and I am the one who will kill you."
Adolf's eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke to the Death Knight.
"Kill me?"
The Death Knight's already ferocious half-skeletal face contorted into an even more terrifying grimace at Adolf's words. "Very well, I'll give you the chance. Make your move."
"Bang—"
Without a word, Adolf leaped forward, unleashing a heavy punch directly at the Death Knight.
Adolf's punch was not only fast but also ferocious. The moment it was thrown, it was like a beast released from its cage, instilling a sense of oppression and despair.
Seeing how terrifying Adolf's punch was, even Shen Lang was startled. He knew Adolf was no ordinary person, but he had never imagined his strength had reached such a level.
"Bang—"
While Shen Lang was in shock, the next second, Adolf's heavy fist reached the Death Knight. However, the outcome not only shocked Shen Lang but also widened Adolf's eyes.
As the fearsome punch neared the Death Knight, the latter let out a cold sneer and swung a fist in return.
The Death Knight's punch seemed weak and powerless, but the instant it collided with Adolf's, Adolf was sent flying over ten meters like a broken kite. He spat out a mouthful of blood mid-air before crashing heavily onto the ground.
"A mere early Heaven Realm cultivator is no different from a three-year-old child before me. If you're still alive, get up."
Having severely wounded Adolf with a single punch, the Death Knight's tone was calm and indifferent.
"I've traveled across various countries, and I've never encountered such a terrifying enemy. I'm truly filled with excitement right now."
Severely injured by the Death Knight's punch, Adolf's internal organs were impacted, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood as he struggled to stand. He stared intently at the Death Knight, his eyes filled with shock, but more so with excitement.
"Kid, that was just a lesson. I had no intention of killing you, or you would be dead by now."
The Death Knight cast a sinister glance at Adolf before turning to leave.
"Heh... You don't want to kill me, but I want to kill you."
Just as the Death Knight took two steps after turning, Adolf swiftly appeared in front of him, a cold smirk on his face.
"Roar—"
As his words fell, Adolf transformed into a werewolf, letting out a deafening roar before charging madly at the Death Knight.
In his werewolf form, Adolf's strength and speed both increased exponentially. The terrifying pressure made Shen Lang sweat.
Meanwhile, Ye Shishi and Wang Yuyan fainted amidst the roars and were subsequently held by Shen Lang.
Having transformed into a werewolf, Adolf closed in on the Death Knight, his claws raking wildly towards him.
"Kid, with your early Heaven Realm martial cultivation and the strength of a werewolf, you now possess the power of the peak Heaven Realm. No wonder you dared to be so arrogant before me."
"However, I already possessed peak Heaven Realm strength before I became this monstrous form, let alone now. Therefore, you can go and die."
Watching the frenzied assault of Adolf, the Death Knight let out a cold laugh. Then, his right hand shot out like lightning, gripping Adolf's neck.
The massive, two-meter-tall werewolf, weighing at least three to four hundred pounds, was lifted by the Death Knight as if he were a chicken. He was then slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a two-meter-deep pit instantly.
"Pfft—"
Such a horrific impact caused Adolf to revert to his human form, spitting out a gush of blood.
"Kid, I didn't intend to kill you, but you've provoked me repeatedly. You've truly angered me."
As Adolf's eyes widened in disbelief that such a monster existed, the Death Knight sneered and brought his foot down directly towards Adolf's head.
If that kick had landed on Adolf's head, it would likely have exploded like a watermelon.
Adolf felt the terror of death and instinctively closed his eyes.
However, after five seconds, Adolf realized the Death Knight's foot had not landed on his head. Out of curiosity, he opened his eyes and saw Shen Lang, who had somehow stepped in to block the Death Knight's kick.
"Brother, save me."
Seeing this, Adolf grabbed onto a lifeline and cried out.
"Brother? Things have changed, my lord. Times have changed."
Upon hearing Adolf's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "You called me 'brother' just now. Now, you shouldn't be calling me that. You should be calling me 'big brother'."
"What?"
Adolf responded with disbelief, "You want to go back on your word?"
Adolf's internal organs had already been severely impacted by the Death Knight's power, and this fall had broken seventy to eighty percent of his bones. He was on the verge of death.
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Adolf became agitated and spat out another large mouthful of blood.
"Big brother, I'm not going back on my word. However, you took advantage of my predicament just now, and now I'm going to take advantage of yours."
Shen Lang, who had felt cornered by Adolf earlier, was brimming with anger. Now that he had a chance to retaliate, how could he miss it?
"Adolf, call me 'big brother,' and I'll save your life. Otherwise, I won't concern myself with whether you live or die."
Shen Lang looked at Adolf and said, "Time is short, three seconds. Think carefully and tell me."
"Big brother, save me."
As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, Adolf, without hesitation, shouted at him.
"Alright, for the sake of that 'big brother,' I'll spare your life."
Shen Lang was very satisfied with Adolf's attitude. With a hearty laugh, he turned to the Death Knight and said, "Senior, this is my foolish brother, Adolf. He was ignorant and provoked you. I implore you to be magnanimous and let him go like a fart."
"Fine, I'll give you this face."
The Death Knight retracted his foot upon hearing Shen Lang's words and slowly walked out of the laboratory.
After the Death Knight left, Shen Lang sent a WeChat message to Song Shaodao, explaining the situation. He then examined Adolf closely and said, "Adolf, my foolish brother, you are gravely injured. Your internal organs are severely damaged, and eighty percent of your bones are broken. If you don't receive timely treatment, you might die soon."
Shen Lang, wanting to retaliate for Adolf's earlier opportunistic behavior, began to torment him in various ways. He said, "How about this: Big brother isn't heartless. As long as you say 'Big brother, please save me,' I'll treat your injuries. What do you say?"
"Big brother, please save me."
Adolf was also someone who could bend and not break. Knowing that Shen Lang was taking advantage of his situation to torment him, he immediately begged for mercy without hesitation.
