24 -023: The Day of Return, The Time of Ruin

Members of the Blood Wolf Gang recognized the Golden Barbarian Bear, their faces changing slightly, but they quickly steadied themselves.

“Don’t panic, everyone.

It’s just a Golden Barbarian Bear, we can deal with it,” said the five Blood Wolf Guards nonchalantly.

And indeed, that was the truth.

Although the Golden Barbarian Bear possessed the strength of the Peak of the Postnatal Realm Sixth Layer, the combined force of the five Blood Wolf Guards quickly subdued it, putting it at a disadvantage.

Swoosh!

One of the Blood Wolf Guards, with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eye, seized the opportunity to rush forward and struck with his blade, tearing a savage wound across the Golden Barbarian Bear’s belly from which blood gushed forth.

Roar!

The Golden Barbarian Bear, enraged, turned around and swung its palm as large as a fan, hitting the Blood Wolf Guard and sending him flying through the air, crashing through three large trees before falling to the ground.

The furious strike of the Golden Barbarian Bear was no small feat; the wounded Blood Wolf Guard’s breath was faint, and he looked unlikely to survive.

“Stay alert, everyone—the beast has gone mad,” said the remaining four Blood Wolf Guards with a serious expression, surrounding the Golden Barbarian Bear in the center with weapons in their hands and attacking conservatively, occasionally leaving trails of blood.

The Golden Barbarian Bear roared furiously again and again but was no longer able to harm the Blood Wolf Guards.

Instead, its roars weakened significantly due to the substantial loss of blood.

“Ha ha, let’s exhaust this beast to death!” laughed the Blood Wolf Guards, toying with their attacks and forcing the Golden Barbarian Bear that was trying to break through back into place.

Xiao Ye, hiding behind the trees, frowned; the Golden Barbarian Bear wouldn’t last much longer.

“I’m here to save you, big fella.”

Xiao Ye grabbed a vine, tied the Flame Saber to his back, and then leaped out soundlessly.

True Qi surged within his body as he launched an advanced version of the Great Collapse Palm at one of the Blood Wolf Guards with his back to him.

The Blood Wolf Guard had no idea that someone would suddenly attack and was caught off guard, flying out without even a grunt, his life force destroyed by the brutal power, resulting in immediate death.

“Who’s there!”

The remaining three Blood Wolf Guards, including those five Blood Wolf Gang members, were all startled and looked over.

“Xiao Ye!”

Upon recognizing the handsome young man before them, they couldn’t help but grind their teeth in anger.

They had been focused on dealing with the Golden Barbarian Bear and had not anticipated Xiao Ye taking advantage of the situation.

“The boss has an order, we see Xiao Ye, we kill on sight!” The five Blood Wolf Gang members, who were originally just watching, rushed over and surrounded Xiao Ye.

“Kill me?

Do you have the strength to do that?” Xiao Ye said with a cold laugh, his True Qi roared through his twelve meridians, launching his attacks boldly.

Ah!

Ah!

Several screams echoed through the dense forest; those five Blood Wolf Gang members could only withstand a few strokes before being killed by Xiao Ye due to the vast gap in their abilities.

“Humph!” Xiao Ye gave a cold glance at the five corpses, feeling no sympathy for the Blood Wolf Gang members.

Which of their hands hadn’t been stained with the blood of the villagers?

Xiao Ye’s appearance revitalized the Golden Barbarian Bear, which desperately launched a counterattack, entangling the three Blood Wolf Guards and preventing them from dealing with Xiao Ye.

Moreover, they no longer possessed the composure they once had; upon seeing the five Blood Wolf Gang members killed by Xiao Ye in an instant, they were filled with terror.

This young man didn’t seem as weak as he appeared; his strength was comparable to the seasoned Blood Wolf Guards.

Ah!

Due to the distraction, another Blood Wolf Guard was slapped away by the Golden Barbarian Bear, his body crashing through several large trees.

The remaining two Blood Wolf Guards now seemed pathetic under the Golden Barbarian Bear’s counterattack, retreating clumsily.

“Good job, big fella,” Xiao Ye said with a grin, then stepped forward.

“Xiao Ye, as long as you let us go, we’ll disappear immediately, leave the Blood Wolf Gang, and we won’t reveal your whereabouts,” said the two Blood Wolf Guards, now scared and cornered.

“Let you go?” Xiao Ye’s gaze was icy.

“Did you spare the villagers of Green Sun Town?

I can’t deal with Blood Wolf now, but I can start by taking some interest from you, so, prepare to die!”

No sooner had the words left his lips than Xiao Ye stomped on the ground, his figure shooting forward like a bolt.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Xiao Ye pushed forward with both palms, the five thunders on his body merging into one continuous roar; the robust True Qi underwent five layers of amplification, and the ferocious power erupted from his palms, engulfing the terrified Blood Wolf Guards in it.

Boom!

The two Blood Wolf Guards tried to resist together, but were shaken back many steps, finally steadying their battered forms.

“How can he be so strong?” Rubbing their numb arms, they were shocked, as the youth before them seemed like a God Demon.

“Kill my villagers in Green Sun Town, sever Uncle Shan’s arm, you all deserve to die!” Xiao Ye’s hair danced, his palms moved as he pressed down like two towering mountains.

Crack!

The ground where the two Blood Wolf Guards stood caved in, their bodies forced down by the tremendous power, their bones cracking crisply as blood spread across their twisted faces.

Boom!

Xiao Ye looked down coldly at the two men, his immense power escalating once more and slamming into their bodies, eliciting a scream and then silence.

The Golden Barbarian Bear sat on the ground, panting heavily, scratching its head with a puzzled look in its eyes as if it didn’t understand why Xiao Ye had saved it.

Having confirmed there were no survivors, Xiao Ye was about to leave when he suddenly felt a compulsion and bent down to search the bodies.

Soon, he managed to scrounge up some broken silver, amounting to about three hundred taels in total.

He needed to leave Green Sun Town and rush to Wutan City.

Without silver, he would struggle to make a single step.

“Big guy, goodbye.” Xiao Ye waved to the Golden Barbarian Bear and quickly left.

The disturbance from the battle here might have spread, and he must escape as soon as possible.

After Xiao Ye left, the Golden Barbarian Bear rested for a while before also trudging away slowly.

Before long, the rustling sounds grew closer as a team of Martial Artists from the Blood Wolf Gang approached.

Seeing the corpses on the ground, their faces instantly changed as they began to examine them.

“It was done by a human Martial Artist, it must be Xiao Ye’s doing.” After examining, they came to this conclusion.

The news quickly spread back, and a large number of Blood Wolf Gang’s forces hurried to this area, tightening the search perimeter.

Although the Blood Wolf found Xiao Ye’s footprints entering the Fierce Beast Forest, the forest spanned hundreds of miles.

Even with the numerous members of the Blood Wolf Gang, they had to split up to search, which was highly inefficient.

But learning of Xiao Ye’s approximate location, their efficiency greatly increased.

“I’m close to Green Sun Town’s exit.” Xiao Ye’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at a path ahead.

Having lived in Green Sun Town for fifteen years, he was very familiar with its exits.

“The Blood Wolf Gang is catching up.

I must leave quickly.” Xiao Ye looked back.

The sounds of disordered footsteps were growing louder as they approached, sending a chill through his heart.

After killing those Blood Wolf Guards, his location had been exposed.

Up until now, he had encountered several interceptions but fortunately, Xiao Ye had detected them early each time and avoided them by taking detours.

“Run!” Without hesitation, Xiao Ye shot towards the exit of Green Sun Town.

“You think you can escape, kid?” At that moment, a cold voice sounded, followed by a burly figure descending from the sky, blocking Xiao Ye’s path.

“Blood Wolf!”

Xiao Ye came to a halt and stared at the figure before him, unwilling to accept the situation.

Just one step away, and he would have been out of Green Sun Town.

“You’re quite the runner, but I’ve still caught up with you.

You killed my brother; now you’ll pay with your life!” A powerful aura swept out from the Blood Wolf.

He flipped his palm and reached for Xiao Ye, as if a high-soaring eagle preying upon its target.

Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted violently as his body felt heavier.

The Blood Wolf’s casual palm strike gave him a sense that it was inescapable.

The gap was simply too vast!

Xiao Ye didn’t like this feeling at all, the same was true for Zhao Qian, and now for Blood Wolf.

Snap!

Just then, an aged figure appeared in front of Xiao Ye, repelling the Blood Wolf.

“Village Chief!” Seeing Xiao Tianxiong suddenly appearing, Xiao Ye was stunned.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

…

Then, a series of whooshing sounds followed as Xiao Yang, Shi Zhan, and Wu Shi appeared one after another, blocking before Xiao Ye.

“Dad.” Tears shimmered in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

“Damn kid, hurry and leave Green Sun Town.

Leave the Blood Wolf to us,” Xiao Yang said sharply, turning his head.

Blood Wolf’s expression turned grim: “Are you planning to break the agreement and start another war with my Blood Wolf Gang?”

“Hmph, so what if we do?

Today we must get Ye’er out of Green Sun Town.” Xiao Tianxiong snorted coldly.

Enraged by these words, Blood Wolf burst out, “Then, don’t blame me!”

After that, True Qi surged from Blood Wolf’s body, soaring into the sky like a Demon God oppressing them.

Xiao Tianxiong and the other four experts met the Blood Wolf head-on, a fierce battle erupting.

The disturbances spread outward, filling the sky with dust and debris.

“Ye’er, go!

The Blood Wolf won’t truly wage war against us.

Your cultivation isn’t strong enough; do not come back!” Xiao Tianxiong bellowed, as the combined strength of him and Xiao Yang kept the Blood Wolf at bay.

Xiao Ye clenched his fists tightly, his gaze trembling.

When the dense footsteps behind him got closer, he forced himself to look away and dashed toward the exit.

“Village Chief, Dad, don’t worry.

I will return soon.

The day I come back will be the fall of the Blood Wolf Gang.” Leaving those words behind, Xiao Ye rushed out.

Behind him, the infuriated voice of the Blood Wolf shook the heavens, filled with endless fury.

After leaving Green Sun Town, Xiao Ye took a deep breath, his handsome face showing determination as he strode down the main road and away.

All day long, Xiao Ye ran at full speed, channeling the True Qi throughout his entire body.

Fortunately, his twelve meridians provided him with an abundant supply of True Qi, thus avoiding exhaustion.

While Xiao Ye was stepping out of Green Sun Town for the first time, he was not worried about getting lost because he had the Black Dragon Country Almanac.

The Blood Cleansing Pool incident had led to the creation of a map of Wutan City.

“From now on, it’s up to you.” Xiao Ye stroked the Flame Saber behind him, his eyes filled with determination.

The Chongyang Sect’s entry-level assessment was about to begin soon.

Without dealing with the hidden threat of the Blood Wolf Gang, he couldn’t rest easy and enter Chongyang Sect.

But the gap between his cultivation and the Blood Wolf’s was vast, and even with the Blood Cleansing Pool, it was uncertain whether he could bridge that gap; therefore, the Martial Arts True Intent contained within the Xuan Artifact became his only hope.

“Now is not the time to study the Xuan Artifact.” Xiao Ye collected his emotions and continued on his journey.

Until he reached Wutan City, the danger would not be lifted.

A day later, a city brimming with the air of bygone eras appeared at the end of Xiao Ye’s horizon.
