Chapter 2388
The look with his eyes when he regarded Jiang Ning was that of bewilderment almost to the point of disbelief with regard to the formidability of the man who stood before him. Greedy Wolf smirked as though somewhat intrigued. "This is truly unexpected. Interesting... very interesting!"
As his gaze grew colder, it evoked a ravenous bloodlust overtime.
That promptly put Yumeng and Peter Pan on guard and led them to shield Jiang Yao protectively behind them.
"Be careful, Jiang Ning! Something's off about him!"
They both knew that Greedy Wolf was no longer himself, for the remnant soul of the Demon King had overtaken the former's consciousness and reduced him to a mere vessel. Nobody could have anticipated that, in spite of all his own meticulous estimations, this fate could have befallen him.
On the other hand, Jiang Ning remained unfazed in the face of the shift in Greedy Wolf's aura.
Buzz!
Tightening his fists in preparation for the battle ahead of him, he was determined to see things through with Greedy Wolf this day-no way was he going to back down.
Prepare yourself to pay the price for harming my daughterlSwoosh! Swoosh!
Seemingly simultaneously, Jiang Ning and Greedy Wolf both reacted. The ensuing clash elicited an explosive boom.
Energy rolled and surged when their two fists crashed against each other, and the two combatants became the epicenter of a flood of shock waves that sent dust spiraling into the air all around them.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
They both attacked like two feral beasts with bodies of steel as they went at each other, and the force of their punches hit like hurricanes.
"What terrifying power!"
Yumeng held a hand over her eyes so as to avoid being blinded by the dust storm. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined herself witnessing the emergence of such a fearsome warrior in this day and age.
In contrast, Peter Pan was a little less emotionally overwhelmed. Jiang Ning's prowess had long been a known commodity for him, even though Jiang Ning's accomplishment in this regard had far exceeded his expectations too.
That got him thinking whetherthe present Jiang Ning could already have surpassed Broken Soldier in his heyday.
What made it even more unnerving was that the evolution of Jiang Ning's ability was still a work in progress. In fact, he had yet to pull out his other trump card at this stage of the battle.
The formation lines!
Peter Pan merely stood in silence as he held Jiang Yao behind him.
Little Jiang Yao, on the other hand, was not rattled. Quietly poking her little head out, her eyes lit up as she followed the ferocious challenge Jiang Ning was putting up against Greedy Wolf.
"Are you afraid, Yaoyao?" Peter Pan asked.
"I'm not afraid." Jiang Yao said. "Is my daddy very powerful, Master?"
"Yes."
For a stern man who spoke sparingly like Peter Pan, even one word of admission would be hard to come by.
"Then, will I become as powerful as Daddy when I grow up?" The girl tilted her head to regard Peter Pan with a mixture of inquisitiveness and anticipation.
Those pristine, bright eyes jogged Peter Pan's memories of the first time he laid eyes upon her. It was precisely the recognition of this child's prodigious gifts that drew him to her.
The thought of that made him lament his own shortcomings as a teacher that could have inhibited the child's progress.

enough to protect herself and those around her.
Ultimately, he would not be able to remain by her side indefinitely. Likewise, for Jiang Ning. Even with the aid of the water from the Longevity Pond, who could possibly live forever?
"You'll surely be stronger than both your daddy and Master in the future, Yaoyao Peter Pan drew a deep drawl before he continued, "When that time comes, it'd be your turn to protect your daddy and me!
Jiang Yao was even more hyped when she heard that and nodded as she clenched her fists. "Yes! I can protect you both, Master!"
Boom!
The carnage between Jiang Ning and Greedy Wolf persisted in the midst of a tempest that raged all around them.
The shadow of their silhouette clashed and separated themselves for the briefest instant before they collided again, in a seemingly endless cycle.
