Chapter 921: Chapter 260: Ingenious Traps at the Life and Death Gate, Feiyang’s Heroic Spirit Sweeps Away the Demons (Part 3)

However, their surroundings had long been doused with tung oil by the "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen.

Xie Wen stood high above, watching the panicked bandits, and coldly smiled, saying, "Wicked thieves, today you will meet your end here! To dare provoke our Heroic Sakura Association is to seek death!" With that, he lit the torch in his hand and threw it towards the tung oil.

The tung oil instantly ignited, and the raging fire quickly spread, forming a huge ring of fire.

The hundreds of bandits trapped in the fire circle screamed and wailed in agony, fleeing in all directions but finding no way out.

The tongues of fire licked at their bodies, setting their clothes and hair ablaze. Their skin scorched, releasing bursts of acrid smell. Before long, these bandits slowly fell in the sea of flames, reduced to charred corpses, the entire valley reeking of a thick stench of blood and burning.

Wu Yun, Wu Dang, Wu Can, Wu Hui, and other bandits, seeing the dire situation, used their superior Lightweight Technique to desperately flee the sea of fire, heading towards Old Wolf Stronghold. However, as soon as they escaped the flames, they were intercepted and killed by Shi Feiyang and Xie Wen.

Xie Wen employed the "Feixu Qingyan Technique," his figure rising like a wisp of light smoke into the air.

The Celestial Silkworm Silk Net in his hand unfurled like a giant spider web, casting towards Wu Can.

Wu Can couldn’t evade in time and was enveloped by the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net.

Shi Feiyang’s gaze was like a torch, with a glint of decisive coldness in his eyes, akin to a fierce lightning bolt streaking across the night sky.

He let out a thunderous shout, echoing through the icy snow: "Wicked thief, still playing tricks trying to ambush me, hmph! Your life is mine!" Before the words left his mouth, his palm slashed like a saber, a sharp blade of energy immediately slicing through the air.

The blade energy seemed like an invisible yet extremely sharp weapon, brimming with murderous intent, swiftly cutting towards Wu Can trapped in the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net.

With a crisp "crack," like a ripe watermelon split open by a sharp blade, Wu Can was instantly severed in two by the blade of energy.

Xie Wen, quick on his feet, used the momentum to forcefully fling the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net.

The two halves of the corpse were tossed aside like tattered rags, leaving two conspicuous trails of blood on the snow.

Wu Yun, Wu Dang, Wu Hui witnessed this shocking scene, paralyzed with terror, their faces turning ashen as the color drained away.

Their legs buckled, nearly collapsing to the ground, leaving no room for hesitation as they turned and used all their skills to flee.

At that moment, full of fear, they dared not return towards Old Wolf Stronghold, as if that stronghold were a Human Purgatory, entering would mean no survival. Shi Feiyang chuckled coldly but did not pursue.

On the hasty escape, they encountered a group of martial arts masters including Beggar Gang Leader Zhong Renwang, Beggar Gang Elder Ding Hong, Mingjian Manor Master Dugu Yan, Divine Sword Manor Young Manor Master Xie Zhichuan, Ghost Shadow Sect Sect Leader Zhaxi Caiyu and disciples, "Double Kill with Blade and Sword" Sect Master Zashi Dunren and disciples, Wind Thunder Sect Sect Leader Luorong Zadui and disciples, Seven Evils Palm Sect Leader Zhaxi Banfeng and disciples, Blood Transformation Saber Sect Leader Dorje Maje and disciples, and Poisonous Hand Nuwa Li Wuduo.

Seeing them, Wu Yun, Wu Dang, Wu Hui felt as if encountering saviors, and with a "thump" sound, kneeled on the snow.

Wu Yun, tearful, cried to Zhong Renwang and others, "Master Zhong, all you great heroes! That Shi Feiyang and his Heroic Sakura Association’s evildoers are truly despicable! They occupied our Old Wolf Stronghold, killing and looting, committing every evil. We brothers fought to the death but suffered heavy losses. Now, Old Wolf Stronghold has been ’invaded’ by them. I humbly beseech you heroes to seek justice for us!"

Sobbing, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, tears and snot flowing, looking as if he had suffered the worst injustice in the world.

After hearing Wu Yun’s tearful appeal, Zhong Renwang’s face was instantly filled with anger, and a subtle cunning glinted in his eyes.

He roared, "All great heroes, you see! This Shi Feiyang is nothing but a heartless villain. Ever since he snatched the Holy Heart Technique and Xu Fu Immortal Pill from the Shandong Giant Whale Gang, he has been increasingly arrogant, committing every evil, rampaging through the Jianghu. If he is not eliminated, what peace can there be in the Jianghu? Where is the justice?"

A group of martial arts people, persuaded by his clever words, were instantly filled with righteous anger.

They raised their arms and shouted, "Kill Shi Feiyang, rid the Jianghu of this scourge!"

"Yes, we cannot let this evildoer go unpunished!"

The shouts echoed, reverberating through the wind and snow-laden skies.

Thus, everyone withstood the biting winds and flying snow, like a surging tide, rushing towards Old Wolf Stronghold.

Relying on the Supreme Lightness Technique, "A Thousand Miles Without a Trace," Shi Feiyang’s figure was like a phantom, sneaking alone into Old Wolf Stronghold.

His lithe form flickered through the snow curtain, like a black eagle silently landing inside Old Wolf Stronghold.

The "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen led the Heroic Sakura Association heroes, like wandering ghosts, quietly hiding in the burned valley from earlier.

Everyone moved carefully, fearing to make a sound, then slipped into a concealed cave, quietly lying in wait, holding their breath, watching and waiting. After entering Old Wolf Stronghold, Shi Feiyang lit all the torches hung on the stone walls.

The torches instantly flared up, illuminating the entire Old Wolf Stronghold as bright as day.

He strode forward to the old, the weak, the women, and children remaining in Old Wolf Stronghold, and from the invisible deerskin pouch at his waist, took out some money and provisions to distribute to everyone, kindly saying, "Take this to build a fire and cook, don’t go hungry."
