Chapter 68: Silencing? (Third Update)

“Uncle Zhong, Brother Fan, the two of you break through and escape later. Before you leave, kill me!”

Although Liu Feiyan was only in the Blood Moving Realm, she was struggling to hold on under the siege of the crowd.

Her cheeks were stained with blood, and her gaze was firm and decisive, without even a hint of fear of death.

Uncle Zhong and Brother Fan’s expressions immediately changed. Uncle Zhong shouted while struggling to resist, “Feiyan, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if we have to fight to the death, we will take you and break out!”

Liu Feiyan shook her head and gave a bitter smile. “I’m just a burden. Uncle Zhong, only by taking Brother Fan do you have a chance to break through.”

“You know the reputation of the Poison Wolf Bandits. Once I fall into their hands, I will surely suffer humiliation and a fate worse than death!”

“So, it’s better if you kill me first to save me from humiliation. Go back and gather reinforcements from my Town Martial Hall to tear these bastards into ten thousand pieces and avenge me!”

Uncle Zhong gripped the long spear in his hand tightly, desperately burning his blood and Qi to face the enemy.

He had watched Liu Feiyan grow up since she was a child, and he looked at her as if she were his own daughter. How could he have the heart to do it?

But Liu Feiyan was right; if she fell into the hands of the Poison Wolf Bandits, it would be a fate worse than death!

“Escape? Rest assured, none of you will escape!”

The leader of the Poison Wolf Bandits, the ‘One-Eyed Vicious Wolf’ Si Kong Tu, gave a sinister laugh. Two curved hooks in his hands suddenly thrust out from a bizarre angle. One hook jammed Uncle Zhong’s spearhead, while the other tore a piece of flesh from his arm.

“Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourselves for not staying properly in the heart of Ning Province and coming to this Huangtian Ridge instead. Since we’ve started, we can only exterminate you all!”

“However, you little lady really do understand me. Such a beautiful and heroic little lady is quite rare.”

“Whether you are dead or alive doesn’t actually matter. Even if you’re dead, it’s not like you can’t be used!”

Si Kong Tu laughed wildly, and his offensive became even more fierce.

The Poison Wolf Bandits were a group of bandits active around Huangtian Ridge. Although their numbers were small, every one of them was a ruthless thug who had killed countless people.

Si Kong Tu was even more lecherous by nature, cruel and tyrannical. He didn’t just kill people; he enjoyed torturing them to death.

Normally, the Poison Wolf Bandits made a living by plundering the Loose Cultivators who traveled to and from Huangtian Ridge.

They specifically patrolled around Huangtian Ridge. If they found someone who had discovered something good inside the ridge, they would immediately surround and attack them, seizing the treasure and killing the person.

So some people said they shouldn’t be called Poison Wolves, but rather Hyenas.

On this trip, Liu Feiyan had only brought one maidservant, with Uncle Zhong and his Disciple Li Fan acting as guards. As a result, they were targeted by the Poison Wolf Bandits.

Several Poison Wolf Bandits didn’t know their identities. They just saw that Liu Feiyan and her maidservant had some beauty and thought about kidnapping them to present to their boss.

As a result, after the sneak attack, Liu Feiyan’s maidservant, who had the weakest strength, was killed, and several Poison Wolf Bandits also died. Subsequently, hearing the commotion, Si Kong Tu arrived with the other Poison Wolf Bandits to surround them.

Only then did Si Kong Tu learn that the other party was actually the daughter of Town Martial Hall’s strategist, Liu Suifeng, but it was already too late.

The other side had lost a maidservant, and he had also lost several brothers.

Anyone else would probably have been scared out of their wits by this, but Si Kong Tu was tyrannical by nature and audacious, showing no fear at all.

In his view, since he had already killed someone from the Town Martial Hall, even if he let them go and knelt to beg for mercy now, the Town Martial Hall would not forgive him.

Moreover, the Town Martial Hall suppressed the Ning Province Martial Forest, and these bandits were often chased around by the Town Martial Hall’s guards.

In fact, several of his brothers had died at the hands of the Azure Dragon Hall’s Azure Dragon Guards. The two sides had already formed a deep grudge.

Since he had already killed one person from the Town Martial Hall, killing three more wouldn’t matter.

At worst, after exterminating them all, they would destroy the evidence and flee directly to another province.

Huangtian Ridge was so vast, spanning several provinces; what could the Town Martial Hall do to them?

Therefore, after learning the other party’s identity, it became even more impossible for Si Kong Tu to let them leave.

When Chen Yuan arrived at the scene, what he saw was the precarious situation of Liu Feiyan and the other two.

At this time, the Poison Wolf Bandits also noticed Chen Yuan.

A fierce-looking Poison Wolf Bandit, bare-chested and holding a giant axe, said in a muffled voice, “Boss, someone’s coming. What should we do?”

“What should we do? Silence him, of course! Or are you waiting for him to go to the Town Martial Hall and blab?”

Si Kong Tu glanced at Chen Yuan. After determining that the opponent was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he gave a cold laugh. “Third Brother, you go settle him.”

Although Si Kong Tu had already made up his mind to kill to silence witnesses and then flee the Ning Province area,

it was better to hide it for as long as possible. Ideally, the Town Martial Hall would never know it was them.

So if someone discovered them at a time like this, he would certainly act to silence them.

Third Brother carried his giant axe toward Chen Yuan, a hideous smile appearing on his face. “Kid, having too much curiosity isn’t a good thing. Seeing things you shouldn’t see can get people killed! Remember this lesson in your next life!”

As his voice fell, Third Brother gave a loud shout. A surge of black True Qi condensed on the giant axe in his hand, and with the momentum of splitting Mount Hua, he smashed it straight down toward Chen Yuan!

However, to Third Brother’s surprise, Chen Yuan didn’t flee, just standing there blankly.

Was this guy scared stupid?

He could understand if the guy begged for mercy, swore to keep his lips sealed, or turned and ran.

But what did it mean for this guy to just stand here without moving?

Just then, Chen Yuan suddenly moved.

The blade hummed and vibrated, and a brilliant, eye-catching saber light suddenly appeared before Third Brother.

Overbearing, surging Devilish Qi clung to the snowy-bright blade, as if slashing out a black silk ribbon.

With the extreme speed like a startled swan combined with that matchless, powerful Devilish Qi, the Demon Blade Slash fell like a hot knife through butter, instantly slicing the giant axe in Third Brother’s hand and his entire person into two halves!

Third Brother’s corpse fell to the ground, flesh and intestines spilling everywhere.

His strength was already inferior to Chen Yuan’s, being only at the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Furthermore, he had already consumed a lot of energy fighting Uncle Zhong and the others earlier. Thus, caught off guard, he was killed by Chen Yuan in a single slash.

“Third Brother!”

Si Kong Tu’s expression suddenly changed, and he barked, “Second Brother, Fourth Brother! Go and kill him! Kill him!”

The remaining two Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artists immediately changed direction and charged toward Chen Yuan with angry shouts.

With three Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artists suddenly gone, the pressure on Uncle Zhong’s trio instantly lightened, allowing them to catch their breath for a moment.

Of these two Poison Wolf Bandits, one held a Ghost Head Decapitation Saber, while the other carried a Coiling Dragon Staff. They attacked from both sides, striking at Chen Yuan simultaneously.

Because Third Brother had been killed in an instant by a single slash, these two were incredibly cautious and went all out from the start.

A saber light flashed in Chen Yuan’s hand. The surging and powerful momentum of the Treading Waves Slash crashed down, directly sending the Ghost Head Decapitation Saber flying.

At the same time, the Poison Wolf Bandit on the left smashed his staff down. True Qi whistled and exploded; this strike was heavy and powerful, with immense momentum.

But Chen Yuan directly reached out his left hand, the power of the Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations turning into pure Devilish Qi that attached to it.

The Silken Thread Energy suddenly erupted, and the Devilish Qi acted like a large net covering the head of the staff, neutralizing the power of that strike.

Then, a brilliant Buddhist light suddenly erupted from all over Chen Yuan’s body.

Immaculate Crystal, Vajra Indestructible!

The staff-wielding Poison Wolf Bandit was horrified to find a terrifying, immense force coming from the staff, and he was actually hoisted up into the air, staff and all, by the opponent!

By now, it was too late for the bandit to let go of the Coiling Dragon Staff.

His whole body was hoisted in mid-air and smashed ruthlessly toward the bandit with the Ghost Head Decapitation Saber!

If it were anything else, the bandit with the ghost-head blade could have just slashed it away.

But this was his own brother. He could only temporarily retract his blade, his True Qi erupting as he tried to catch him.

Who would have thought that this force would be incredibly vast? The two people collided instantly, their internal organs jolted, and both flew out like rolling gourds.

A saber light appeared, flashing like a startled swan.

The staff-wielding Poison Wolf Bandit’s hair instantly stood on end as a ferocious killing intent approached his neck!

But he had no weapon in his hands. Unable to withstand it, he could only choose to tilt his head to dodge, but he only succeeded halfway.

Chen Yuan’s blade directly sliced off the top of his skull above his eyes, and instantly, red and white fluids flowed all over the ground.

The Martial Artist holding the Ghost Head Decapitation Saber panicked instantly. He immediately turned and fled, shouting, “Boss, save me!”

Si Kong Tu was currently doing his best to deal with Uncle Zhong. He never expected that his two Foundation Establishment Realm subordinates would be like paper, with one being killed in an instant.

Just as he turned his head, Chen Yuan had already pushed the Surging Waves and Flowing Clouds Technique to its limit. His Internal Energy erupted instantly as his figure took to the air, and a sky full of Devilish Qi saber beams fell, magnificent yet hiding endless killing intent.

The Poison Wolf Bandit with the Ghost Head Decapitation Saber didn’t even last three moves before he was instantly submerged under the seemingly endless saber beams and sliced into a pile of fragments!

Chen Yuan raised his head and gave Si Kong Tu a grim smile. “Silence me? I’ll send you down to reunite with them first!”

“”

As his voice fell, Chen Yuan moved his body and headed straight for the other Poison Wolf Bandits.

The remaining Poison Wolf Bandits were almost all at the Blood Moving Realm. Before Chen Yuan, they couldn’t even block a single move.

Saber lights flared, blood blossomed, and heads rolled. In the blink of an eye, only two or three people were left.

Si Kong Tu almost watched with his own eyes as the Poison Wolf Bandits he had built with his own hands were wiped out before him. He was so pained he almost spat blood.

He didn’t regret killing the Town Martial Hall’s people; at worst, he would just find another place to make a living.

What he regretted now was provoking the fierce man before him!

Since he had already decided to leave this Ning Province area, he was prepared to be discovered by the Town Martial Hall anyway.

If the guy saw it, he saw it. In fact, it would have been fine not to silence him. Why did he have to provoke him?

Si Kong Tu gave a loud shout, directly turned his body, abandoned Uncle Zhong, and charged straight at Chen Yuan.

Uncle Zhong was already heavily injured. He gasped and hurriedly shouted to Chen Yuan, “Young hero, be careful! This Si Kong Tu is a master of the Lunhai Realm! Don’t be rash, this old man will come to help you right away!”

Just now, Chen Yuan had killed Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artists like slaughtering chickens and dogs, and his momentum was indeed astonishing.

But the gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Lunhai Realm was immense, and Uncle Zhong was worried that Chen Yuan wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
