Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Things Have Gotten Tricky (Please Subscribe) "Such strength..." Across the cliff, Black Tornado gazed at the fierce battle with shock. In the depths of his pupils, a strong sense of astonishment flickered, "The Eighteen Eagle Kings, each possessed power beyond the Inner Power Realm. Among them, the Celestial Eagle King had even reached the level of a second-class expert. This young man faced the onslaught of the Eighteen Eagle Kings, including second-class experts like the Celestial Eagle King, yet he was so composed... such skill, such power, second-class expert, definitely a greater than second-class expert. He might even be a first-class expert..." *A strong unease and fear floated in his heart. With someone like him as a protector, could they really fulfill Qilian Mountain’s orders to ambush and kill the target?* "Old Chang, didn’t you say the young man was not a concern? Such an existence, not a concern?" At that moment, the Second Village Chief of Black Wind Village also became anxious, suddenly grabbing Old Chang beside him, his anger continually rising. "I... I don’t know, how is this possible?" Old Chang was terrified, staring across in astonishment. That figure in white clothes was utterly composed in the face of a rain of arrows, easily crushing them, and effortlessly slaughtered several great experts beyond the Inner Power Realm. *Such a person, logically speaking, could not be unknown. Old Chang, priding himself on having precise insights, never expected to be caught off guard here.* "Village Chief, what do we do next? The target is almost at the foot of our mountain." The Second Village Chief harshly threw Old Chang aside, turning anxiously toward their Great Village Chief. "Is Qilian Mountain terrifying, or is this young man terrifying?" Black Tornado fell silent for a moment, weighing gains and losses, slowly shook his head, and said, "If Qilian Mountain knows we haven’t taken action, do you think our Black Wind Village could still exist? If we act, we could claim lack of strength, but if we don’t act, we’d be certain to die. How should we choose?" "Moreover, the Eighteen Eagle Kings haven’t lost yet!" As he spoke, Black Tornado’s face showed determination and sternly commanded, "Take action!" "Take action!" As soon as his words fell, countless members of Black Wind Village immediately began to move. Boom! Boom! Boom! Huge stones were pushed down by them, quickly rolling down from the mountain top, sounding like muffled thunder exploding, with a grand momentum. ... "Die!" The Celestial Eagle King tightly grasped his long knife, sharp and slender, like burning red iron, silently yet swiftly and relentlessly, piercing directly toward Bai Ziyue’s temple. If this blade struck, he was confident that even if the opponent had protective techniques, they couldn’t withstand his full-strength blow, inevitably resulting in a burst of brain matter and death by the blade! "Hmph!" Bai Ziyue snorted coldly, flipping the hand holding the knife. Amidst the turbulent force, he fiercely pulled, plunging obliquely into the heart of a third-class expert, directly cutting his heart into two halves. Simultaneously, his other hand leisurely extended, his hand appearing as pure white as jade, incredibly sacred. As it stretched out, the void seemed to crumble under pressure, with a strange air current swirling in his palm. One hand struck out! A gigantic handprint, yet faster than his palm, pierced through and emerged. The Immortal Martial Sect’s secret skill, Immortal Martial Hand Seal! Even though due to only driving inner strength, it lacked the magnificent and mystical qualities of combining Immortal Martial, and because it was his first attempt, there were many stagnations. But when this palm struck out, it could still suppress everything. Bang! Yet another muffled sound, the Celestial Eagle King’s long knife, like willow fluff, was forcefully flung. The Immortal Martial Hand Seal persisted in its momentum, harshly landing on him. Boom! The ground was forcefully indented three inches, the Celestial Eagle King spat a mouthful of blood, instantly kneeling on the ground, having lost consciousness. Ding! Ding! Ding! That fleeting moment wasn’t only captured by the Celestial Eagle King, other attackers, experienced in combat, saw their chance and simultaneously launched their assaults. Various weapons, emitting endless cold glints, landed harshly on his body, producing a ding ding ding resonance. Six layers of the Golden Bell were worn out in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the others’ eyes brightened, striving to unleash their attacks, chopping down rapidly with long knives. Sizzle sizzle sizzle... The sound, like a blunt knife cutting through old cowhide, rang out immediately. Having cultivated the Golden Bell Shield, Bai Ziyue possessed more than just the protective Golden Bell; even his skin and flesh defenses had significantly improved. Even a full-strength strike from an existence in the Inner Power Realm couldn’t penetrate his defense, it was only the inner strength piercing through, affecting his Qi and blood, making it roll within. Everyone was astonished, their eyes showing disbelief. *This seemingly juvenile-faced young man, what kind of monster was he? Why was he so terrifying?* "The Celestial Eagle King is dead!" Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out. Already heart-struck with fear, everyone instantly panicked, losing support. With almost no hesitation, they turned and fled without looking back. "Only now thinking of escaping? Too late!" Bai Ziyue chuckled coldly, drawing his long knife out, swiftly cutting through like black lightning. "Kill!" Swoosh swoosh swoosh... Almost like sweeping through dying trees, anyone caught up by him could not escape the fate of being sliced in two, as the sound of blade cutting into flesh echoed dully, blood flowing on the ground, shattered flesh, and severed limbs flying in all directions. The sword glinted coldly, black as ink, without a trace of blood on it. On the ground, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered, devoid of any sound. The Eighteen Eagle Kings were thus completely wiped out, never to be seen again. "It’s not over yet." Bai Ziyue’s eyes were as sharp as lightning, swiftly scanning the road where over a hundred Black Wind Village bandits were charging toward Zhang Zhen and his men. Without hesitation, he swiftly leaped off the mountain top, directly charging into the fray. "Run! Run! Run..." Having just reached the bottom, Black Tornado and his men, who were about to attack Zhang Zhen’s group, froze in shock at the blood-soaked figure in white gracefully descending. In an instant, their faces changed drastically, and without a second thought, they turned and fled. Black Tornado could never have predicted that barely after he issued the attack order, the Eighteen Eagle Kings, with over eighteen men of the Inner Power Realm and above, couldn’t hold out for even an incense stick’s time before being completely slaughtered by the young man in white. One moment’s miscalculation, and the result turned entirely different in an instant. He truly felt a heart-wrenching dread, as if his very soul had left his body. "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Seeing Bai Ziyue charging down, Zhang Zhen felt utterly invigorated. Except for one or two people who stayed by the purple-clad woman’s side for protection, the rest all charged forward. Bai Ziyue was incredibly fast, and his strikes were merciless, sweeping across with his long blade, cutting down large swathes at once. He felt no mercy for these mountain bandits, especially since only their deaths would grant him Soul Energy. Even though the Attribute Panel was still being optimized and upgraded, it did not delay the increase and decrease of Soul Energy. Bai Ziyue moved too swiftly for any Black Wind Village bandits to withstand even one of his strikes. Thus, in just an instant, he had caught up to the Black Wind Village Chief, Black Tornado. "Die!" Without any hesitation, he slashed with his long blade! Hiss! From over three meters away, a blade aura shot out like lightning, transforming into a massive black sword over three meters long, crashing down. "Spare me... ah..." Black Tornado roared in panic, instantly realizing the threat. He raised his weapon to block, but couldn’t react in time. The blade aura sliced down upon his head, cutting through. "The Village Chief is dead..." Amidst the cries of alarm, everyone fled even faster. A moment later, the battle ended. The number of mountain bandits was simply too overwhelming; in the chaos, some managed to escape. The scene was a mess; corpses were strewn all over. Bai Ziyue noticed their horses had also been killed in large numbers by rolling rocks and the attacks of the bandits. Only four or five horses remained standing unharmed. Even the carriages, it seemed, only the one carrying the purple-clad woman remained intact, thanks to the protection of the escort agency’s people. The others were scattered and shattered by the rocks. *His Heart Spirit felt a moment of unease.* "Bai... Elder Bai..." Zhang Zhen approached Bai Ziyue, opened his mouth, and once again instinctively used the previous honorific title. Bai Ziyue’s solitary ascent and decisive slaughter of the Eighteen Eagle Kings had left Zhang Zhen deeply shaken. He didn’t dare show any disrespect. "Call me Young Master Bai." Bai Ziyue said in a calm voice. "Yes, Young Master Bai." Zhang Zhen nodded repeatedly before speaking, "Earlier, we captured one alive and got some information. This time, other than the local Black Wind Village, the Eighteen Eagle Kings from the plains were also involved. All of these Eighteen Eagle Kings had Inner Power Realm strength or higher; there were numerous Third-class Experts among them, and there was even the Celestial Eagle King, said to have long reached the level of a Second-class Expert, reigning as a tyrant in the plains. Yet, unexpectedly, they were all annihilated here by Young Master Bai. Truly..." "Do you know who ordered them?" Bai Ziyue interrupted, asking. "It’s said to be Qilian Mountain!" Zhang Zhen replied with a serious expression. "Qilian Mountain?" Bai Ziyue was puzzled and his gaze naturally shifted to the purple-clad woman who had just stepped out of the carriage. Of course, he had heard of Qilian Mountain. He knew that Qilian Mountain didn’t refer to a single mountain, but rather to the countless renowned Greenwood Heroes gathered within the sprawling Qilian Mountain range. Among them were numerous experts, emerging endlessly, from Second-class Experts to First-class Experts, and even to Martial Arts Innate. Few mountain bandits and water bandits within the Wuu Kingdom dared to defy the orders of Qilian Mountain. "Qilian Mountain, is it?" The purple-clad woman nodded, seeming to take note of the place, then said to Bai Ziyue, "This time, we truly must thank Young Master Bai. Otherwise, it would have been quite a challenge." *Only a challenge, but not without solutions.* *Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed with understanding. He nodded silently.* *It was clear, even though she had suffered severe injuries, she still had means to easily eliminate the Eighteen Eagle Kings and handle the crisis.*
