39 -038: Kill One Person with Single Step

The sky was getting brighter, and villagers of the Xiao Family Village were all up early, bustling about with their tasks.

Creak!

Xiao Tianxiong stepped out of his home, looking at the familiar village with a trace of sorrow in his eyes.

“Sigh, it may not be long before the Xiao Family Village becomes a thing of the past,” Xiao Tianxiong muttered to himself as he gazed at the village.

“But as long as Xiao Ye survives, I can face our deceased ancestors with peace.” A contented smile appeared on Xiao Tianxiong’s face.

“Village Chief, something terrible has happened!” At this moment, Xiao Yang ran over like a whirlwind, his face frantic with panic.

Xiao Tianxiong’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Yang took out two porcelain vials, a book, and a letter, handing them all to Xiao Tianxiong.

“Ye’er has gone to kill the Blood Wolf by himself,” Xiao Yang said, his voice trembling.

What!

Xiao Tianxiong’s complexion changed drastically, and he quickly looked at the letter in his hands.

“Dad, Village Chief, by the time you read this letter, I will probably have already reached Bull Horn Mountain.

Please forgive Ye’er for making this decision on my own.

I can’t just watch our village be destroyed, so today, the Blood Wolf must die.”

“I’ve left behind two kinds of elixirs and a Second Grade Combat Skill, enough to make our village strong again.”

After reading the entire letter, Xiao Tianxiong’s facial muscles quivered slightly, and his chest heaved violently as if it were a bellows.

“Postnatal Pill, Jade Spirit Pill, Second Grade Combat Skill…” Xiao Tian’s eyes reddened for a moment.

These two elixirs and combat skill, for the Xiao Family Village, were definitely considered supreme treasures.

Yet at this moment, Xiao Tianxiong couldn’t get excited at all.

Because this might be the legacy left by the village’s first genius.

If he could, he would gladly give up the elixirs and the combat skill – all he wanted was for Xiao Ye to survive.

“Ye’er, you’ve given too much for our Xiao Family Village, the village has let you down,” Xiao Tianxiong howled with his head raised, his emotions violently stirred.

Whether it was a little over a month ago, when the youth chose to leave the Xiao Family Village to protect the villagers’ lives, or now, facing the Blood Wolf Gang alone, it all pained Xiao Tianxiong deeply.

In contrast, Xiao Family Village had not provided any substantive help to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye’s current cultivation was all achieved through his own hard training.

“Village Chief, the odds are against Ye’er on this journey.

As his father, I must fight alongside him,” Xiao Yang, uncharacteristically calm, then decisively turned and strode towards the outskirts of the village.

His long hair flowed freely behind him, his silhouette filled with a sense of liberation.

“Xiao Yang, stop right there!” Xiao Tianxiong roared, his hair and beard bristling.

“Village Chief, if you’re trying to stop me, there’s no need,” Xiao Yang continued forward without pausing, speaking indifferently.

“Hmph!” Xiao Tianxiong snorted coldly and shot out like an arrow, “If that little guy Xiao Ye can show such courage, how can I, this old bag of bones, fall behind!”

“Inform Elder Wu and Old Man Shi that today, we are going to have a decisive battle to the death with the Blood Wolf Gang!” Xiao Tianxiong’s eyes sparked determination.

…

Bull Horn Mountain was dozens of miles away from Green Sun Town.

Dressed in mourning clothes, Xiao Ye rushed towards Bull Horn Mountain with the swiftness of the wind and lightning.

“I am not fully confident in confronting the Blood Wolf,” Xiao Ye’s eyes glinted, “but for the village, I must kill him!”

The pressure of the Blood Wolf’s imminent breakthrough to the Innate Realm, combined with his unwillingness to reveal the secrets of Martial Arts True Intent and the Flame Saber, left him no choice but to risk it all, facing the Blood Wolf Gang alone.

Xiao Family Village was his home, where his parents were; he wouldn’t allow anyone to harm his family!

Soon, Xiao Ye arrived at the foot of Bull Horn Mountain.

He looked up at the slightly sinister mountain peak, then, carrying the Flame Saber, he began to climb the mountain path.

His white mourning clothes fluttered in the wind, filled with a sense of resolve.

“Guangzi and the others went down the mountain to trouble those bumpkins, I wonder if those cowards are still just hiding behind closed doors, too scared to come out,” two Blood Wolf Gang members were chatting at a pavilion halfway up the mountain.

“Haha, of course.

With our Boss here, they can only act like turtles hiding in their shells,” another bald man said with a sneer, “Last time I went down the mountain with Guangzi for fun, we pointed at that old geezer Xiao Tianxiong’s nose and cursed out loud for half an hour.”

“He didn’t even dare to let out a fart, it was so satisfying!” The bald man laughed heartily.

With only Ninth Body Refining Realm strength, he was of a low status within the Blood Wolf Gang.

Just the thought of being able to curse a Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer master excited him enormously.

It was undoubtedly the proudest moment of his life.

“Alas, I envy you.

I wonder when I’ll be able to point at Xiao Tianxiong’s nose and curse him out,” the first man said enviously.

“When Guangzi and the rest come back, I’ll ask if they can bring you down the mountain next time, so you can have your fun too,” the bald man said carelessly.

“Thank you so much, Brother Bald,” the first man immediately fawned over him.

The bald man felt himself soaring with pride.

Suddenly, a cold flash burst in the pavilion, swiftly sweeping across the bald man’s neck.

Blood spurted out, and a head, still wearing a self-satisfied grin, flew into the air.

The other man was shocked by the sudden turn of events, his body splattered with blood.

At that moment, a young man dressed in mourning clothes appeared in the pavilion, wielding an imposing and simple battle blade, his gaze cold as he looked on.

“Xiao…

Xiao Ye!” The man’s face was filled with horror, he was about to shout.

Whoosh!

But before he could make a sound, he was cut down by Xiao Ye.

After taking down the two of them, Xiao Ye held the Flame Saber in one hand, step by step along the mountain trail, marching towards the main peak, his white mourning clothes billowing.

Xiao Ye chose not to conceal himself, walking openly on the mountain path.

“Who’s there?”

As Xiao Ye approached the main peak of Bull Horn Mountain, he was soon discovered.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Whoosh!

Instantly, footsteps arose from all directions, and the sound of tearing through the air could be heard as groups of Blood Wolf Gang members wielding weapons appeared, blocking Xiao Ye’s way on the mountain path.

At a glance, there were at least three hundred people.

“It’s Xiao Ye!”

“I really didn’t expect you to walk right into the trap!”

A burly man with a full beard stood out from the crowd, and when he saw Xiao Ye in mourning clothes, his eyes immediately narrowed with a hint of killing intent pouring out.

Showing up at the door in mourning clothes, that’s an extremely ominous omen.

Looking at the bearded man, Xiao Ye’s eyes suddenly turned extremely cold.

This person was a Blood Wolf Guard, he remembered!

On the day when the Blood Wolf Gang attacked Xiao Family Village, it was this man who swung the blade at him, only to be blocked by Xiao Dashan, who as a result lost an arm.

“I am really pleased that you are still alive,” Xiao Ye murmured, his eyes brimming with cold light.

After that, Xiao Ye stepped towards the bearded man and said coldly, “That day you slaughtered our villagers, today I, Xiao Ye, wear mourning clothes to avenge those unjustly killed villagers and to reclaim the blood debt!”

“And you, for severing Uncle Shan’s arm, today I will take your life to settle the score.”

“Heh heh, you dare be so arrogant on Bull Horn Mountain?” The bearded man laughed contemptuously.

Bull Horn Mountain was the stronghold of the Blood Wolf Gang, would he fear a mere youth?

“The Boss is in seclusion on the dangerous peak, now everyone obeys my command!” the bearded man shouted loudly, “Take down Xiao Ye, dead or alive!”

Upon hearing the bearded man’s words, everyone smirked, pressing towards Xiao Ye.

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye flicked his Flame Saber, and suddenly a flash of cold light appeared, and the ten Blood Wolf Gang members who drew near were brought down spraying blood.

Everyone’s pupils contracted violently as they involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

“What are you waiting for?

Have you forgotten what the Boss said, that whoever kills Xiao Ye will be rewarded!” the bearded man yelled.

At his words, a fervor swept through the crowd, and they excitedly roared, swarming forward.

“Your blood is too insulting to my saber,” Xiao Ye said indifferently, and with a swoosh, he returned the Flame Saber back into its sheath.

These people were only ordinary members of the Blood Wolf Gang; few of them were even in the Postnatal Realm, far from being his match.

After that Xiao Ye clenched his fists and let out a long howl, his True Qi surging, causing a powerful current of air to rise from his body, blasting the first wave of dozens of people who rushed at him away.

But from behind, even more people surged forward.

“Die!” Xiao Ye’s eyes were cold, as the advanced version of Great Collapse Palm was continuously unleashed in his hands.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

For a moment, palm shadows swept over the heavens and earth toward the Blood Wolf Gang members, and screams of agony echoed incessantly in the mountain pass.

With Xiao Ye’s current cultivation, the power of the advanced Great Collapse Palm was extremely formidable; with each palm strike, several people would spew blood and turn into a bloody mush. freewebnøvel.com

Xiao Ye calmly walked towards the bearded man, with dense palm shadows emerging from the Nine Nether, crossing Heaven, and blood flooding the sky.

With each step he took, a person would fall, his white mourning clothes dyed with blood, turning completely red.

Even with three hundred people together, they could not stop Xiao Ye’s advance.

In the blink of an eye, there was a layer of corpses at Xiao Ye’s feet, a sight that left the bearded man’s heart chilled.

The youth before him was like a Death God seeking debt, unstoppable.

“Blood Wolf Guards, kill him for me!” the bearded man roared.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

As his words fell, an organized troop appeared, forty in all.

They were uniformly equipped with Curved Sabers, their killing aura reaching the sky, each of them with the cultivation of the Postnatal Realm Sixth Layer.

This was all that was left of the Blood Wolf Gang’s Blood Wolf Guards.

“Kid, I underestimated you; your cultivation must have reached the Seventh Layer of the Postnatal Realm,” the bearded man sneered.

“With forty Blood Wolf Guards together, how long do you think you can hold on?

Want to kill me?

Maybe in your next life.”

As the bearded man spoke, he walked behind the forty Blood Wolf Guards and waved his hand: “Kill!”

Boom!

The forty Blood Wolf Guards, each holding a Curved Saber, stepped forward in unison; their formidable aura converged, bearing down like a mountain.

Crack!

Crack!

The ground, unable to withstand such powerful forces, cracked apart, with stones rolling down along the mountain path.

“No one can stop me from killing you,” Xiao Ye said indifferently.

Then, the True Qi from the twelve meridians within him poured forth like the Galaxy inverted across Heaven, and the aura of the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer completely burst forth.

Xiao Ye clenched his right fist and faced the mountain-like oppressive momentum with a punch.

Boom!

It was like a thunderclap resounding, and the aura of the forty Blood Wolf Guards was shattered by one punch.

Connected by their breath, all the Blood Wolf Guards were forced back several steps, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

What!

The bearded man’s face was filled with shock; the youth before him had actually reached the Ninth Layer of the Postnatal Realm.

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, the bearded man turned and ran up the mountain path and quickly towards the stronghold of the Blood Wolf Gang, activating the mechanism and having the stone gate weighing over ten thousand pounds fall into place.

This stone gate was the only access to the stronghold; other than that, the surroundings were cliffs and steep precipices, impossible to climb.

Hidden behind the stone gate, the bearded man finally took a breath of relief, the youth was far too terrifying.

Tap!

At this moment, strong footsteps followed the mountain path, making the bearded man’s heart pound wildly.
