The night breeze was cool, and the sounds of insects echoed through the mountain forest. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure swept over the entire peak.
Chu Chen felt the terrifying fluctuation and his footsteps abruptly stopped.
He looked up. Beneath the pitch-black night sky, a man in gray stood in mid-air, looking down at everything below, his eyes filled with indifference.
"Are you the leader of Wolf Fang Village?" the man in gray asked indifferently.
"You've got the wrong person," Chu Chen sighed and shook his head. "Wolf Fang Village has already been wiped out by me. The leader and the second leader were both killed by my own hands. The remaining bandits have all joined other forces."
"Hmph!" the man in gray snorted, and his powerful soul force spread out like a net, covering the entire mountaintop. He could clearly feel that the leader and second leader of Wolf Fang Village were indeed dead, and not a single person from Wolf Fang Village was left alive, except for this young man who was unharmed.
"You're lying!" the man in gray sneered. "You're not from Wolf Fang Village at all. Why did you help Wolf Fang Village fight against us?"
Chu Chen shrugged, spread his hands innocently, and a pure and kind smile appeared on his handsome face. "I kindly saved the life of the leader of Wolf Fang Village. I didn't expect to be pursued, and had no choice but to flee into the deep mountains. If I hadn't happened to save the villagers in the mountain manor, I would have long been buried under the claws of the Wolf Fang Village bandits. That's why I stepped in to help."
Hearing this, a trace of suspicion flickered in the eyes of the man in gray, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
"Kid, you dare to deceive this old man? Do you think my Wolf Fang Mountain is easy to bully?"
"Whether you believe it or not, it's the truth," Chu Chen narrowed his eyes. "If you continue to pester me, none of you from Wolf Fang Village will leave this valley alive today!"
Rumble—
In an instant, thunder roared, dark clouds obscured the sky, lightning flashed and thunder boomed, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Kid, do you think this old man is afraid? Where are the people of Wolf Fang Village!" the man in gray shouted coldly.
Instantly, dense black figures surged from all directions, numbering in the hundreds, each holding a saber and looking fierce.
"Kid, since you are stubborn, don't blame us from Wolf Fang Village for being merciless!" the man in gray sneered, raising his palm. Immediately, hundreds of people drew their sabers and charged at Chu Chen.
Boom! A gale swept up, and Chu Chen stood in the storm, his black robe fluttering, his black hair flying.
Chu Chen leaped onto a swift horse, his silver spear swinging, and朵朵 silver flowers bloomed. Fresh red blood splattered on him, staining his white shirt.
In an instant, blood flowed freely, dyeing the ground red. A cold smile hung on his handsome and refined face.
These bandits from Wolf Fang Village finally understood why this young man was able to destroy Wolf Fang Village. It was because this young man's strength was too terrifying, far more powerful than the strongest in Wolf Fang Village, simply a crushing existence.
"We surrender, please show mercy and spare us!" Hundreds of people knelt uniformly before Chu Chen. Their foreheads touched the ground as they begged for mercy, their cries filling the air.
Chu Chen put away his spear, his eyes flashing with cold light, and sneered, "The deeds of your Wolf Fang Village are too numerous to count. Today, you must pay the price in blood!"
"We have already surrendered, please be lenient and spare our lives." Hundreds of people wailed, begging for forgiveness.
However, Chu Chen showed no mercy. His gaze gradually turned cold. "Since you have done wrong, you must bear the due responsibility. Wolf Fang Village is already destroyed, and you are unworthy of being human. All of you die!"
Before his voice faded, Chu Chen's body flickered out like a phantom. He held his spear, his attacks extremely sharp. Every thrust took a life.
In just three breaths, Chu Chen had killed dozens of people. The remaining ones were terrified and fled in all directions, not daring to stay and wait for death.
"You can't escape!"
Chu Chen snorted, his speed suddenly increasing. His spear danced like a dragon, a silver spear like a roaring bull. Where it passed, flesh and blood flew, limbs and broken arms, and blood gathered into a river.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, hundreds of people were dead or injured, their bodies strewn across the ground, a shocking sight.
Chu Chen slowly threw down his spear, his face expressionless, as if he had seen such scenes many times.
"May I know your esteemed name?" the man in gray asked, cupping his fist respectfully, his heart filled with apprehension.
"Chu Chen." Chu Chen walked slowly to the man in gray. "I'll give you two choices. The first is to submit to me, or die!"
"Hahaha!" The man in gray threw his head back and laughed. "You want the leader of the dignified Wolf Fang Mountain Village to submit to you? You're too wishful thinking."
"Since that's the case, then you die." Chu Chen was too lazy to waste words. He thrust his spear forward fiercely, piercing the man in gray's chest.
The man in gray's pupils widened, and he let out an unwilling roar before falling into a pool of blood.
Chu Chen clapped his hands and turned to enter the cave. The cave was quite spacious, about fifty to sixty square meters. Torches were embedded in the walls, making the inside of the cave as bright as day.
"Brother Chu, thank you for saving us again. But how did you get entangled with them?" Old Man Liu brought hot water for Chu Chen to wash up, his gaze filled with admiration.
"Alas, these scoundrels robbed us of our valuables, our women, and our food. They were truly hateful, and I killed them in a fit of anger," Chu Chen smiled faintly. "Don't worry about this matter, old man."
"Mm," Old Man Liu nodded, knowing that Chu Chen's martial arts were extraordinary and that he was no ordinary person.
Chu Chen changed into clean clothes and left the cave, heading in another direction. Not far from Chu Chen was a small town called Qingyang Town. To the southeast of Qingyang Town was a forest with many ancient trees, their branches and leaves lush and intertwined. It was like a cage, enveloping the entire Qingyang Town. This forest was extremely vast, and even those in the Xiantian realm would not dare to venture into it rashly. Otherwise, they would surely get lost and even fall into danger, hence it was called the Misty Forest.
In a certain part of the Misty Forest, Chu Chen was sitting on a rock resting when suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance permeated the air. He raised his eyebrows and looked towards the distant grass. "Who? Get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures darted out from the grass, blocking Chu Chen's path.
"Young Master Chu!" Li Hao's lips curved into a smile. He glanced around to ensure no one was nearby before he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he cupped his hands and said.
