Urban Wolf King

Everyone was stunned to see Ma Jun being thrown back like that.

Just moments ago, Ma Jun's display had firmly established his formidable reputation in the minds of Lin Hai, Toyota Shouzou, and everyone else present.

Everyone believed that Ma Jun was the strongest here, so when this newcomer appeared and knocked Ma Jun away without even making a move, they were all shocked.

Who could be so powerful that even Ma Jun couldn't withstand a single encounter?

At that moment, Ma Jun leapt up from the ground, barely managing to stand, but his body wavered and he fell again. Using his hand to support himself, he finally stood up.

Seeing Ma Jun injured after delivering a palm strike, everyone was dumbfounded.

Thinking of this, they all looked towards the newcomer.

The man who appeared was a thin, hollow-cheeked individual with eyes as dark as water. His face seemed stiff, giving an unsettling impression that disturbed people deeply.

Yet, Toyota Shouzou, seeing this person, shouted excitedly as if grasping a lifeline, "Lord Snake Soul, save me!"

The newcomer was indeed Snake Soul.

Back when the Cyan Snake Gang first encountered Snake Soul, Toyota Shouzou had looked down on him. But now, upon seeing him, Toyota Shouzou's demeanor changed completely, almost kneeling and clutching at Snake Soul's leg.

Ma Jun also recognized Snake Soul. Earlier, he was sent flying back by Snake Soul, and felt highly aggrieved. Staggering forward, he charged at Snake Soul again.

Just then, Wang Yan urgently called out, "Ma Jun, come back, you're no match for him."

Hearing Wang Yan, Ma Jun immediately halted and stood there.

Toyota Shouzou, seeing this, said to Ma Jun, "Kid, it's right for you to stop. Even ten of you couldn't match one finger of Lord Snake Soul. I advise you to kneel before Lord Snake Soul and crawl through his legs. Maybe, just maybe, he might spare you."

Young and impulsive, Ma Jun was infuriated by Toyota Shouzou's words. With a shout, he became a black shadow, bypassing Snake Soul to appear in front of Toyota Shouzou.

Toyota Shouzou was babbling on, flattering Snake Soul while mocking Ma Jun to avenge his father's death.

To his surprise, as he spoke nonsense, suddenly a shadowy, furious face appeared before him—Ma Jun's face.

Startled, Toyota Shouzou hastily retreated, shouting, "Lord Snake Soul, save me!"

But Snake Soul remained standing, unmoved, paying no attention to Toyota Shouzou.

Meanwhile, Ma Jun's palm had already risen. With a "pa" sound, it struck Toyota Shouzou's face.

Toyota Shouzou was flung sideways, crashing into a rock, rebounding off it to fall to the ground.

After landing, Toyota Shouzou quickly scrambled up, revealing a bright red handprint swelling on his left cheek.

Opening his mouth, Toyota Shouzou spat out a mouthful of blood, along with teeth that fell in a "pitter-patter" sound to the ground.

After hitting Toyota Shouzou, Ma Jun snorted coldly, turned around, and began heading back to Wang Yan.

But just as he turned, he found Snake Soul had somehow appeared behind him, blocking his way.

With a slight smile, Ma Jun said, "You intend to stop me? I'd advise you not to bother."

With that, Ma Jun's body shifted into a black shadow, attempting to bypass Snake Soul.

However, as Ma Jun reached Snake Soul's side, thinking he could easily bypass him, he suddenly found someone standing in his way again—it was Snake Soul.

Snake Soul stood with a somber expression, his position unnoticed by Ma Jun.

Startled, Ma Jun, shocked, once more sidestepped to another side of Snake Soul.

Reaching there, he discovered Snake Soul still obstructing him, as if he'd been standing there all along.

Fear gripped Ma Jun; his speed, his greatest asset, was outmatched by Snake Soul.

With a flick of his body, the symbol of the Demon Pattern appeared above Ma Jun, and he attempted to escape aside again.

With the Demon Pattern summoned, Ma Jun's speed reached its peak, resembling a black lightning bolt.

Yet, bypassing to the other side, he found Snake Soul still stood on his path.

In shock and dismay, Ma Jun couldn't fathom his superior, unchecked speed losing to Snake Soul's casual ambling, the strength and weakness now evident.

Watching, Lin Hai and others had their recently rebuilt confidence shattered again, standing silent and at a loss.

Seeing Ma Jun at a loss, Snake Soul's ice-cold voice intoned, "You think you can hit someone in my presence and just leave? You can hit him, but you'll leave something behind."

"What?" asked Ma Jun.

"The right hand you used to hit," Snake Soul replied as he vanished from sight.

Realizing danger, Ma Jun immediately tried to escape.

But as he moved, an overwhelming, irresistible force enveloped him, causing his blood to churn fiercely. Pursing his lips would have made him cough up blood, needless to say fleeing.

Unable to evade, Snake Soul appeared before Ma Jun, mirroring Ma Jun's earlier face-off with Toyota Shouzou.

"Indeed, what goes around comes around," Ma Jun thought blankly, closing his eyes.

Swift as lightning, Snake Soul raised a hand, grasping Ma Jun's wrist. With a crack, the wrist was twisted off.

From the severed wrist, blood gushed, and the person fainted with a scream, eyes rolling, collapsing.

Snake Soul spared no glance backward, slowly turned, and raised the bloody severed hand.

Seeing Ma Jun dismembered, cries of alarm escaped Lin Hai and Roy, whose eyes filled with fear watching Snake Soul.

Snake Soul desired exactly this—to terrify everyone upon arrival, placing them in fear of him.

Then he'd deal with Wang Yan.

Beholding everyone's terrified expressions pleased Snake Soul as he directed his attention to Wang Yan.

At the sight of Wang Yan, though, Snake Soul was stunned.

For he saw Wang Yan standing there, giving him a meaningful smile, with Ma Jun unharmed beside him.

Hastily checking behind him, Snake Soul discovered that the one on the ground, sans a hand, was shockingly not Ma Jun at all, but Toyota Shouzou.
