NOVPUBDespite Su Changkong having saved Ba Yi before, they had paid him for his help. Now when they struck, they showed no mercy, eager for their share of the spoils.
Su Changkong suddenly turned around, his indifferent eyes like those of a man looking at the dead. He intended to kill Ba Yi and Ba Chen first as, though their physiques were as strong as those of Ferocious Beasts, their other abilities were weak, making them the easiest to kill!
"Hm? Retreat!"
Ba Yi’s palm was just about to touch Su Changkong’s spine when he felt the hairs on his body stand on end. With an intuition sharper than any wild beast’s, he sensed an extreme danger that seemed to stop his heart. His pupils contracted, and although he did not know where the danger came from, he chose to trust his instincts and hurriedly retreated.
But... it was too late!
"Whoosh!"
From between Su Changkong’s brows, a glint of cold light burst forth, and in the next second, a long saber of ancient and primitive design, seemingly unremarkable, appeared out of thin air and shot forward.
Where it passed, the void was silently torn open with a deep fissure, hurtling towards the retreating Ba Yi!
"Block it!"
Ba Yi reacted with astonishing speed, his forehead’s veins bulging and Qi and Blood surging throughout his body, his skin tinged with a layer of red, as if flames were furiously burning. His large hands reached out, attempting to grasp the incoming saber.
"Pfft!"
However, the moment his palm touched the blade, Ba Yi froze. His body, which he took pride in and that could withstand Pseudo Divine Skills, saw all ten fingers sliced off as cleanly as if they were tofu, flying through the air!
"How... is this possible?" Ba Yi was stunned. He, who had eaten the flesh of a True Beast as a child and trained in body-strengthening Cultivation Techniques, with a physique unmatched among his Innate peers, felt as fragile as tofu in front of this blade?
Ba Yi stood dumbfounded as Su Changkong’s Blade Soul did not pause for a second. After easily chopping off Ba Yi’s fingers, it circled back, grazing Ba Yi’s neck, and then, like a bolt of lightning, withdrew and returned to Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness.
"Putsch!"
The head of the retreating Ba Yi separated silently from the neck and was thrown into the air, blood spouting from the severed neck like a fountain several meters high, the momentum of his retreating body causing it to collapse to the ground lifelessly!
The head that fell to the ground, eyes still filled with disbelief, seemed unable to accept that he, a top warrior of the Ferocious Wolf Clan, had died such a plain and unadorned death. With a mere turn of that saber, his head had hit the ground, and his once-prideful physique was frail as if made of paper.
"What?"
At this moment, Gu Lie, Mo Junling, and others assaulting Su Changkong all paused in their actions. Ba Yi was a famously strong fighter, yet in the blink of an eye, he was slain?
"Boom!"
Su Changkong did not give the others a chance to be distracted. His fists were unleashed with the roar of a tiger and the rolling sound of thunderbolts, the resounding echoes causing the void to shake with successive explosions. Startled, Gu Lie and Mo Junling were forcefully pushed back by the impact.
"Little brother!"
At this time, Ba Chen saw Ba Yi’s decapitated body on the ground and let out a heart-wrenching howl, like a wounded beast. He and Ba Yi had supported each other to reach this day, and seeing Ba Yi’s death was almost too much for him to bear.
"Dao Wufeng! I’ll kill you!"
With his mind blank with shock, Ba Chen let out a roar filled with grief and murderous intent, charging towards Su Changkong like an enraged beast. Blood seeped from his pores, his furious aura enough to strike fear into the hearts of those who dared to confront him.
Every step he took made the ground tremble, and his surging Qi and Blood formed a colossal beast.
All Ba Chen wanted was to tear apart the murderer who had killed his brother right before his eyes.
"Don’t go there!"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl cried out in haste, knowing it was suicidal for Ba Chen to recklessly attack without understanding the means by which Ba Yi had been killed.
"I’ll send you... to join your brother!"
Faced with the furiously charging Ba Chen, Su Changkong’s face was only filled with an icy indifference. He had helped these two before, despite taking a reward, and had been kind to them. They had no need to get involved in the murky waters.
But blinded by greed, wanting to join the assault on Su Changkong for a share of the gains, all Su Changkong could do was to accommodate their journey to the end!
The Blade Soul unsheathed!
"Shhh!"
The Blade Soul, urged by the vibrations of the Five Qi within Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness, shot out in an instant, like a chilling streak of light, fleeting past.
The Blade Soul pierced through Ba Chen’s forehead as he lunged forward, cutting through iron like mud, hardly hindered, ripping apart his skull, brain, and Sea of Consciousness in one clean strike!
"Thud!"
Ba Chen’s face, a mix of ferocity and madness, froze as his body pitched forward and fell, his robust, burning Qi and Blood rapidly cooling, the breath of life fleeting away.
Controlled and retracted back into Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness by the filaments of Five Qi, the Blade Soul had vanished as swiftly as it had appeared!
Blade Soul Separation, a technique Su Changkong had discerned to manipulate and wield the Blade Soul itself to kill foes without disturbing the heavens and the earth, only showcasing supreme sharpness, Impregnable!
In just a brief encounter, the warriors from the Ferocious Wolf King Court, brothers Ba Yi and Ba Chen, stood no chance against him and were decapitated on the spot!
"Is that a... saber?"
At that moment, Gu Lie and the others had finally recognized what had killed Ba Yi and Ba Chen.
A saber! An impregnable saber!
"What kind of saber is that? The brothers Ba Chen and Ba Yi had physiques strong enough to withstand Pseudo Divine Skills, but they were slain instantly on the spot?"
