Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

132 ATTACKING AND DEFENDING

Wu Jiang was no ordinary sword, and it could move on its own without requiring anyone to wield it. And even if Wu Jinhai did not give detailed orders, it seemed that the sword could understand the master’s strategy, and it quickly moved toward the two men standing on the side.

Yes, the silver sword still recognized Wu Jinhai as its master even after it found a new master, and it listened to the orders perfectly as if it was used to get such orders from the man wearing the red hanfu.

The sword moved so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it began an attack on the two men, forcing the men to draw their swords before following the sword away from the man with the scar on his face.

It seemed that Wu Jinhai deliberately wanted to fight the man with the scar head-on, and that was why he gave Wu Jiang a secret order so that the sword would lure the two men to leave them alone.

“You are very brave, Your Highness,” the man with the scar on his face smirked as he spoke to Wu Jinhai.

Just like what the other two men did when they faced Wu Jiang, the man with the scar on his face also drew out his sword and prepared to launch an attack on Wu Jinhai.

Wu Jinhai didn’t even have a weapon in his hand, but he didn’t look frightened when the other person started running toward him with a sword in hand. Just like how Wu Jiang could move quickly, Wu Jinhai could also move so quickly to the side when the man was about to slash his left arm with the sword.

The first attack failed, but the man with a scar on his face didn’t plan to stop as he continued to attack Wu Jinhai with his sword. It seemed that Wu Jinhai had no intention to counter the attack as he only moved his body to dodge the attack, and it caused the other man to groan in annoyance before he leaped back and glared at Wu Jinhai.

“Do you think we are playing now, Your Highness? You said that you wanted to know the reason why the three of us broke the barrier, right? Don’t you want to know the people behind us?”

.....

Wu Jinhai’s golden eyes that peeked through the two holes of the mask widened slightly when the owner heard the man’s question. ‘He finally confirmed that he and his two companions had indeed broken the barrier, and he also confirmed that several people were behind them. Who are they?’ He wondered after he managed to underline a few important sentences from the man’s words.

Wu Jinhai did want to know the reason, but he didn’t want to move recklessly as he patiently waited for the man to slip something through his mouth.

“I know you’re curious, but like our previous agreement, I’ll only tell you everything if you can beat us,” the man with the scar on his face spoke again when Wu Jinhai gave him nothing in response.

It seemed that the man with the scar on his face was confident even if he had to fight Wu Jinhai alone, but Wu Jinhai didn’t look scared either after seeing the confidence.

“I’m not playing right now,” the answer from the masked man finally arrived. “I know you also want to see what I’m hiding behind my mask, and I’ll make it easier for you after you tell me everything. If that’s too difficult for you, then you can tell me your name first. I will let you catch a glimpse of my ugly face after you say your name.”

They were both curious about each other’s secrets, and Wu Jinhai tried to take advantage of the other man’s curiosity.

However, to his surprise, the other man burst out laughing after hearing his words. “I’m just a nobody. Why would a mighty Prince like you want to know my name, Your Highness? And do you think it’s enough for me to just glimpse your face? Do you think a glimpse of your face will tell me your secret?”

Even if Wu Jinhai casually told the man that he was too ugly that he continued to cover his face with the golden mask, the man with the scar on his face kept saying that he did have a secret behind the mask, and that was why the man kept mentioning it.

Wu Jinhai looked like he was about to lose his temper, and he quickly approached the man before using his long legs to aim at the man’s bald head. Unfortunately, the man seemed to be able to read his movements as he swiftly dodged the attack.

Wu Jinhai had no weapons in his hands, and he could only rely on his legs and arms as he continued to attack the other. And the other man also didn’t want to give up while continuing to swing his sword.

At first glance, the bald man looked like he had the upper hand because he had a weapon in his hands, but the situation wasn’t that simple because Wu Jinhai wasn’t just a nobody who didn’t know how to fight without any weapon.

Torn between defending himself and attacking the opponent at the same time, the bald man lost his focus a little, and that gave Wu Jinhai a chance to push the man’s face. At the same time, the bald man also swung his sword toward Wu Jinhai’s head, but it only managed to cut off a few black strands that belonged to Wu Jinhai.

The two of them suddenly jumped back and tried to catch their breaths that were raging after engaging in a fierce battle. Wu Jinhai was at a disadvantage because he had no weapon in his hand, but he was still lucky that the man’s sword did not manage to injure him.

‘I don’t think this guy is that strong,’ Wu Jinhai thought to himself. ‘I didn’t even use any weapons, but he couldn’t even touch my clothes. Now I know that these three people specialize in controlling barriers.’

It wasn’t that Wu Jinhai wanted to play with the bald man, but he just wanted to test the man. He didn’t use any weapons and only fought the man with his bare hands, and that was because he wanted to know the man’s true abilities.

It turned out that the man was not very strong in battle, and Wu Jinhai assumed that the man was actually the defensive type.

There were two types of cultivators in both the Dong Lang and Wu Li Empires. The first type was the attacking type that was good at fighting at close range, and they were also good at using weapons such as swords. And the second type was the defensive type which was not good enough to fight at close range but was very good at controlling barriers.

After testing the man, Wu Jinhai concluded that the man was the defensive type. The man didn’t have a good technique with his sword, and it seemed the man just swung his sword randomly while attacking him.

The man’s aura was indeed strong, but it seemed to be due to his powerful ability to control barriers. Thinking of the barrier, Wu Jinhai noticed that there was something strange about the man.

‘The defensive types should be able to create a barrier around their bodies so they can fight back when others attack them, but this bald man didn’t use any barriers to protect himself. I could still punch him even if I didn’t use my true strength,’ Wu Jinhai once again tried to carefully analyze the situation.

He was the attacking type, and that was why he didn’t know much about those of the defensive type. That was also the reason why he didn’t carelessly attack the man because he still wanted to know more about that person.

‘Did he use all his energy to destroy the barrier earlier that he doesn’t have enough energy to build a barrier around his body now?’ Wu Jinhai once again wondered to himself.

That man was indeed the defensive type, and Wu Jinhai created another theory in his head, ‘It’s indeed weird for Emperor Bai Guowei to hire the defensive type to protect Shao Meihui. Maybe it’s indeed his intention to see the girl get killed in the forest?’

“Why, Your Highness? You don’t want to fight with me anymore? You don’t want to know why the three of us broke the barrier? You don’t want to know the person who gave us the order?” The bald man provoked Wu Jinhai once again, and the provocation only made Wu Jinhai frown even more.

‘Why does this guy still sound so confident even if he doesn’t have very good fighting abilities? Maybe he was good at controlling barriers, but he couldn’t use his energy to create barriers now. Why does he still sound so arrogant? He knew that he wouldn’t be able to beat me, but he kept on provoking me. What’s his purpose?’
