Chapter 773: Chapter 745: Eliminate the Roots
The werewolf was shaken back, retreating more than ten steps before finally dispersing the force from his body.
"Who is it?" the werewolf shouted angrily, quite enraged; unexpectedly, someone was disrupting the situation at this time.
Then, a vast expanse of True Yuan swept through the area, dismantling all the restraints that the werewolf had placed on the villagers.
"Quickly, get behind me."
Lin Tian stepped forward and called out.
The villagers, now able to move their bodies, were overjoyed and frantically ran towards Lin Tian.
Two men glared fiercely at Lin Tian, still holding a hostage in their hands, the son-in-law; as for the daughter, she too ran over and embraced Old Man Wang.
"Human, mind your own business, or you will die," the werewolf threatened.
"You dare threaten me, you’re already a dead man!"
Lin Tian let out a roar and drew the Godslayer Sword, sweeping it at the werewolf.
The werewolf pulled out a large saber to block the Godslayer Sword. Lin Tian’s sword struck the saber, pushing the werewolf back forcefully.
The werewolf’s arms were numb and he was gasping for breath, still unable to fully react, when another sword thrust directly towards his brow.
The werewolf desperately defended himself, but Lin Tian, bursting with divine power, decapitated him with one swing of his sword.
Only one werewolf remained, but the problem was that he still had a hostage in his grip.
He had also realized that he stood no chance against Lin Tian, especially with two more persons behind Lin Tian who hadn’t even made a move yet!
Clenching his hold on the son-in-law, he yelled at Lin Tian, "Step aside, or I’ll kill him."
Lin Tian stood firm, blocking the way and declared, "Release him, and I’ll spare your life!"
The werewolf was somewhat panicky, he dared not kill the son-in-law, and with Lin Tian not giving way, he was completely baffled!
Taking advantage of the werewolf’s confusion, Lin Tian immediately brandished the Subduing Dragon Zither. His fingers played rapidly, boosting his combat power to the peak!
"Kill!"
An invisible blade of light, like lightning, shot towards the werewolf at incredible speed. The werewolf had no time to react before the light exploded, severing one of his arms.
"Escape!"
Bearing the excruciating pain, the werewolf fled. Fairy Zixia was about to give chase but was stopped by Lin Tian.
Fairy Zixia was perplexed and stared at Lin Tian in astonishment. She didn’t understand why Lin Tian had stopped her.
The werewolf was already seriously injured; killing him would be as easy as flipping one’s palm!
Lin Tian said, "Han Feng, follow him and find his lair. Remember, don’t let him detect you."
Han Feng nodded and immediately dashed out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Now Fairy Zixia understood. Lin Tian intended to play the long game, to fish for the bigger catch, having Han Feng tail him to locate his lair and eradicate all the werewolves in one fell swoop!
She silently nodded, admiring Lin Tian’s wisdom as she watched him intently.
"Thank you, mister, thank you, miss, thank you, thank you for saving us...!"
A crowd of people took turns expressing their gratitude, all displaying their thankfulness.
Lin Tian said to Fairy Zixia, "These people have had a hard time; staying in such a remote place is too dangerous. Does your Tianxia Alliance have any suitable jobs for them, to take them in for a while?"
Fairy Zixia thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, indeed there are some jobs that would suit them. Our Tianxia Alliance is currently expanding. We’ve built many sites and buildings. Let them cook for the workers and patrol at night."
"Hmm!"
Lin Tian nodded, as these were the elderly with no education or skills; cooking and patrolling at night seemed their only options.
Fairy Zixia gave them an address, instructing them to go home and pack, then have the daughter and son-in-law take them there today, to avoid any more trouble from the werewolves.
The villagers all agreed to this, and although some were reluctant to leave their homeland, staying there was just too dangerous. They had no choice but to consent to depart.
Afterward, Lin Tian and Fairy Zixia set out for the Zixia Club; Lin Tian sent Han Feng the address of the Zixia Club via WeChat, as he was still on his mission.
Around Xiaochi Town was a vast expanse of cornfields where the current corn stalks stood taller than a person, providing a natural hiding place.
The werewolf, having lost an arm to Lin Tian, grimaced in pain as he reached the cornfields. Along the way, despite suffering the pain of his lost limb, he remained extremely cautious. Every few steps, he turned to look back, checking for any pursuers.
But he never discovered Han Feng, and it wasn’t his fault; Han Feng’s abilities were too extraordinary for ordinary people to detect.
Only after confirming that nobody was following did he dive into the cornfield.
After covering several miles, he finally spotted a few familiar figures ahead.
There were five werewolves, including him, making six.
"Fourth, what happened to you? Who blew off your arm?" exclaimed one werewolf; he was the alpha of the six.
The werewolf with the severed arm sat down with a thud, clutching his wound and gritting his teeth, "It was a young member of the human race. Third brother, he...!"
"What happened to the third brother?" The alpha seemed to guess the outcome but still asked hopefully.
"Third brother, he was... he was killed by a youth with a sword. I also lost an arm to that youth. It was with great difficulty that I managed to escape back here."
"Third brother."
Another werewolf clenched his fist, fuming with rage.
He was ranked second and had the most volatile temper.
"Where is that young man? I will find him and avenge our brother."
The eldest brother stopped him, "Second brother, don’t be impulsive. We will avenge third brother, but we need to plan carefully. Your strength is not much less than that of third brother, so you absolutely must not act recklessly, otherwise, in the end, you will be the one who suffers."
While tending to the wounds of the fourth brother, the eldest brother asked, "Fourth brother, tell me what exactly happened today?"
The fourth brother said through gritted teeth, recounting the events of the day in full detail.
Without any exaggeration and without leaving anything out.
After hearing this, the werewolf ranked seventh gave it some thought and became worried.
He was the youngest, with the weakest strength, but he was the most clever.
"Big brother, after hearing fourth brother’s description, I think that human youth is an expert. Since he could easily kill third brother and managed to sever fourth brother’s arm while rescuing the hostages, it means that the youth definitely has the ability to kill fourth brother directly."
"But fourth brother managed to escape back here, which makes me suspect that the youth has someone tracking fourth brother, aiming to wipe us all out in one fell swoop."
The seventh brother’s words made everyone pause, but the fourth brother stood up and said, "On my way back, I was extremely cautious, absolutely no one followed me, I can guarantee that."
"This...!"
The seventh brother wanted to speak again.
At this moment, the second brother stood up and interrupted the seventh brother.
"We must avenge third and fourth brothers. We will rest for a few more hours today, and tonight, we will go into the small town and kill some people to force that youth to come out. Then we can all strike together and surely kill that youth."
The fifth brother, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Right, that youth must surely be coming for us. We will force him out, set a trap for him, and make him pay with blood!"
The seventh brother wanted to persuade everyone to leave this place, but seeing that his older brothers all had no intention of leaving, he ultimately gave up on the idea of leaving as well. However, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
After discussing for a while, they all lay down to restore their energy and sharpen their resolve.
Hidden in the shadows, Han Feng let out a sneer and then turned around and dashed outside.
Half an hour later, Han Feng found Zixia Club using the address that Lin Tian had sent him via WeChat.
When Lin Tian saw Han Feng, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, do you know where that group of werewolves is?"
Han Feng nodded, "They’re hiding in a cornfield, all at the Mirror-refining level, with combat power comparable to the two werewolves we encountered today. I also heard them discussing that they plan to take action tonight and continue killing."
Lin Tian nodded, he had to act before them this evening.
To ensure nothing went wrong, he said to Fairy Zixia, "Gather the Celestial Generals, we set off immediately."
Fairy Zixia immediately went to prepare, and half an hour later, led by Han Feng, a large group rushed toward the small woods where the werewolves were hiding.
Upon arriving at the outskirts of the small woods, Lin Tian sent Han Feng to scout ahead. Quickly Han Feng returned, indicating that the werewolves were all there with no change in their activities.
The Celestial Generals swiftly surrounded the area.
Lin Tian, holding the Subduing Dragon Zither, charged forth. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The sound of their dense footsteps startled the werewolves, causing them to panic and attempt to flee, only to find that powerful opponents blocked their paths in all directions.
Then they heard the sound of a zither, which heralded their doom.
The Subduing Dragon Zither’s music burst forth, and countless invisible deadly forces shot fiercely toward the werewolves.
Before the werewolves could react, two of them were instantly killed, and the rest were severely wounded.
With the tide turned against them, all that remained was to flee for their lives.
The leader of the werewolves shouted, "Split up and run! Escape if you can! We must inform our master and ask him to avenge us!"
His shouting drew Lin Tian’s attention, who strummed his fingers, and the zither music, like Immortal Swords, vanquished him!
The remaining three werewolves fled in three different directions, but all were intercepted by the Celestial Generals; Lin Tian and Fairy Zixia caught up and killed each one!
Today, a total of seven werewolves were killed. These were likely all the different race creatures in Xiaochi Town.
A great victory, the roots of trouble eradicated.
It was all thanks to Han Feng that they were able to capture them all.
Although Han Feng wasn’t skilled in combat, his tracking and concealment skills were unmatched, making him a significant asset to Lin Tian.
Afterward, Lin Tian ordered the Celestial Generals to carry the bodies of the werewolves out and dispose of them in an uninhabited area.
If they were left in the fields, it would surely scare the farmers to death when it came time to harvest the crops.
After cleaning up the bloodstains and sorting everything out, they emerged from the cornfield.
With this, Lin Tian had successfully completed the task.
However, this was only the simplest task assigned to Lin Tian by Nidhogg, merely a warm-up exercise!
