40: Chapter 039: The Summit of Peril

40 -039: The Summit of Peril

Listening to those forceful footsteps, the bearded man’s heart raced wildly.

Could even forty Blood Wolf Guards not stop that youth’s footsteps?

The bearded man peered through the specially crafted crevice in the stone door, only to see the youth, dressed in blood-red mourning clothes, steadily approaching this place.

That upright figure seemed like a peerless divine weapon, intent on piercing through the heavens.

“Kid, once our Boss comes out of seclusion, you’re dead!” the bearded man shouted loudly.

Xiao Ye responded indifferently, “You better worry about yourself first.”

Forty Blood Wolf Guards might be able to handle ordinary villagers, but they were far from enough to stop Xiao Ye, whose cultivation had already reached the level of the three village chiefs.

Moreover, thanks to the power of the Twelve Meridians Postnatal Technique, after Xiao Ye had killed all forty Blood Wolf Guards in one breath, his eyes still burned intensely, and the robust True Qi roared inside his body like a Qiu Long dragon.

This was something other martial artists at the Late Ninth Layer of the Postnatal Realm could not achieve.

“Worry about me?

This stone door weighs over ten thousand pounds, do you think you can break it?” Behind the stone door, the bearded man laughed heartily.

When the Blood Wolf Gang built this stone door, there was an old saying, “Except for me, only if the three village chiefs of Green Sun Town attack it together, can it possibly be broken.”

Thus, the bearded man was quite calm.

In his view, although Xiao Ye was strong, his fluctuation of True Qi had only reached the Early Stage of Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer; it was impossible to break the stone door, so he felt very safe.

“Really?” Xiao Ye coldly smiled, his inner True Qi roared into motion, and then he stepped forward, shouting, “Mountain Opening Fist!”

Under the horrified gaze of the bearded man, Xiao Ye’s right fist moved as fast as lightning, like a Jiao Long dragon emerging from the sea, carrying the momentum of a volcanic eruption, and fiercely slammed into the stone door.

Boom!

The stone door shook violently; though it did not fall, spider-web-like cracks spread across it.

How is this possible!

The bearded man’s face turned pale, his eyes widened in disbelief.

That youth was simply a human-shaped ferocious beast, nearly blasting the stone door apart with a single punch!

“It’s indeed quite sturdy.” Xiao Ye nodded.

To know that with his current cultivation, unfolding the Mountain Opening Fist could shatter a small mountain.

“I want to see how many of my punches this stone door can withstand.” Xiao Ye unleashed the Mountain Opening Fist again, heavily striking the stone door.

Boom!

The stone door shook, dust filled the air, and the cracks on it gradually widened, soon becoming as thick as an arm.

Boom!

As if struck by the charge of thousands of troops, more and more cracks appeared on the stone door, chilling the big man behind it to the bone.

Boom!

When Xiao Ye’s fist struck for the fifth time, the stone door finally couldn’t withstand anymore and burst into countless pieces.

The bearded man couldn’t avoid in time and was shot like a sieve by the flying debris.

With a roar of unwillingness, he stared with wide eyes as he fell, breathless.

“Uncle Shan, I’ve avenged your severed arm,” Xiao Ye said coldly as he glanced at the bloody corpse, then turned his head towards the direction of the perilous peak.

With such a long time of slaughter, it was impossible for Blood Wolf not to hear.

His deliberate absence from the scene, watching the Blood Gang’s blood turn into a river, had only one reason…

Blood Wolf was at the critical moment of a breakthrough!

“Absolutely cannot let Blood Wolf break through to the Innate Realm!” A cold gleam flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes, then carrying the Flame Saber, he left the main peak and started climbing towards the perilous peak.

…

At the perilous peak of Bull Horn Mountain, sharp as a long sword thrusting into the sky, was nearly unscalable.

On the peak of the perilous peak, Blood Wolf was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, waves of breath, like surging waves, continuously swept out from him.

His breath fluctuated in intensity, unstable, and undulating.

“Dare to move against my Blood Wolf Gang?

Once I break through to the Innate Realm, I must pulverize this person to dust!” Blood Wolf roared inwardly.

In fact, he had long heard the screams coming from the main peak.

However, because he was at a critical moment of breakthrough, he could only tolerate it.

Moreover, once he could break through to the Innate Realm, he would be able to recruit more desperados and build a more powerful Blood Wolf Gang.

In Black Dragon Country, the influence of an Innate Martial Artist was truly astounding.

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye’s body surged with True Qi as he rushed to the top of the perilous peak.

As he saw the figure sitting cross-legged on the boulder, his breath halted.

“What a powerful aura!” Xiao Ye’s expression changed slightly, feeling the overwhelming aura that he once felt from Zhao Qian.

Fortunately, Blood Wolf’s aura was unstable, fluctuating high and low; it seemed he hadn’t truly stepped into the Innate Realm yet, which somewhat relieved Xiao Ye.

“Disturbing my breakthrough, you should die!” Blood Wolf’s eyelids twitched, suddenly opened, his eyes brilliant with killing intent skyrocketing.

At the same time, his aura fell, stabilizing at the Half-step Innate level.

Hearing someone climbing the perilous peak, Blood Wolf naturally dared not continue cultivating.

Compared to a breakthrough, his life was more important.

“It’s you!” When Blood Wolf saw Xiao Ye, he was greatly shocked.

He hadn’t expected the one who slaughtered his Blood Wolf Gang members at the main peak to be Xiao Ye, who had escaped from Green Sun Town.

“You actually broke through to the Early Stage of Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer!” Waves of shock surged in Blood Wolf’s heart.

The youth’s rapid increase in cultivation made him somewhat fearful.

“Blood Wolf, that day you killed the villagers of Green Sun Town and forced me to flee.

Today, this debt should also be settled,” Xiao Ye said coldly.

“Heh heh…

Just at the Early Stage of Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer, and you dare to challenge me?” Blood Wolf rose to his feet, disdainful, “Since you’ve come, leave your life behind.”

“That depends on if you have the capability,” Xiao Ye tightened his grip, his war intent surging to the skies, his eyes blazing intensely.

Swish!

Xiao Ye stomped fiercely on the ground, erupting all his cultivation, and charged at Blood Wolf like lightning.

Boom!

Facing Blood Wolf, Xiao Ye dared not take it lightly.

Unfolding Mountain Fist, his punches rained down like a torrential storm on Blood Wolf.

“Humph!”

Seeing Xiao Ye suddenly launch an attack, Blood Wolf snorted coldly, his palms flipping up and down, guarding himself tightly without any gaps.

Bang bang bang bang!

The sound of fists meeting palms continuously rang out, the emitted Jin Qi stirred the wind and clouds, causing rocks to fly and roll at the mountain peak.

“Boss is exchanging blows with that kid.”

At this moment, on the main peak, a few dozen members of the Blood Wolf Gang who survived by hiding, came out of their hiding places, looking up at the perilous peak.

“Boss will definitely win!”

“Yes, that kid is overestimating himself, daring to challenge the Boss, he’s really seeking death!”

The remaining members of the Blood Wolf Gang on the main peak cheered loudly for Blood Wolf.

In their hearts, Blood Wolf was invincible.

Above the peak, the two figures entangled and leaped, every movement they made burst forth with immense power, vibrating in all directions like rocks flying through the sky.

Bang crack!

Blood Wolf stopped defending and started to counterattack; a part of the cliff was slashed off by his hand blade, tumbling down the mountain, smashing into pieces.

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s True Qi surged, a punch creating a wind that turned a human-height rock into powder.

“Kid, you’ve got some skills, even mastering a Second Grade Combat Technique.”

Blood Wolf spoke, his aura violently surging, his Thunder Cloud Break enveloping Xiao Ye’s entire body, leaving him no chance to escape.

This set of Second Grade Combat Techniques, in Blood Wolf’s hands, had ten times more power than when Liu Er used it, having reached the perfection level.

Xiao Ye’s hair stood on end, his True Qi swelling, driving Mountain Opening Fist to its limit, thrusting his fists forward, engaging in a direct confrontation with Blood Wolf.

Boom!

Like thunder on a flat ground, the entire perilous peak cracked in numerous places, trembling under their clash, seemingly about to collapse, endless debris rolling down.

Pfft!

Xiao Ye’s face turned red, he staggered back more than ten steps, blood spraying from his mouth.

“How strong.” Xiao Ye forcibly suppressed his rolling blood, feeling shocked.

His current cultivation was still significantly behind Blood Wolf.

“As expected, with my current cultivation, if I don’t use the Martial Arts True Intent, it’s difficult to contend with Blood Wolf.

I must seize the opportunity for a killing move!” After the battle with Blood Wolf, Xiao Ye clearly recognized his own strength.

Although Xiao Ye was shocked, little did he know that Blood Wolf was even more horrified.

The youth before him appeared to only be at the Early Stage of Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer, but the strength he demonstrated was enough to match the Late Ninth Layer of Postnatal Realm.

Especially that thick True Qi, like endless roaring waves, his aggressive assault like a volcanic eruption; even Blood Wolf found it a bit too much, his power not inferior to three village chiefs, even stronger.

“This kid has terrifying talent, I must kill him today.” Blood Wolf thought secretly.

On one hand, Xiao Ye’s cultivation progressed too quickly, and on the other hand, Xiao Ye could exert strength beyond his level.

Blood Wolf felt that if Xiao Ye were allowed to continue growing, he could soon surpass him.

Swish!

Blood Wolf strode forward, arriving at a huge rock where he previously practiced.

Next to the boulder, a long spear was embedded.

Xiao Ye, irrepressibly drawn by the spear.

The spear was two meters long, blood-red throughout, with a shine of cold light at the spearhead.

Especially from the spear, Xiao Ye felt a palpable, throbbing aura.

Blood Wolf grasped the long spear, speaking coldly: “This spear is called Blood Drinker, an Innate Weapon, which I just refined yesterday.

Today, you can be proud to die under this Innate Weapon.”

Blood Wolf drew the Innate Weapon intending to completely kill Xiao Ye, not giving him any chance to escape.

Innate Weapon!

Xiao Ye was stunned.

From the Annals of Black Dragon Country, Xiao Ye knew that Innate Weapons, ranked below Xuan Artifacts, had astonishing attack power due to long-term nourishment by Innate Martial Artists’ power.

Such level of weapons was not rare in Black Dragon Country, but relative to Green Sun Town, they were sure enough considered Supreme Treasures.

Even if this time Blood Wolf had not broken through to the Innate Realm, he could sweep through the whole Green Sun Town with this spear alone.

Thinking of this, cold sweat rolled down Xiao Ye’s forehead.

“Innate Weapon, Blood Wolf has been refining it for so long, then why could I use Flame Saber without refining it?” Xiao Ye pondered with confusion.

Refining a weapon, in fact, means refining the Martial Arts Mark of its original owner.

Actually, Xiao Ye did not know that the unlucky Innate Martial Artist had spent several years refining the Flame Saber, but because he ultimately died from serious injuries, he [Xiao Ye] picked it up cheaply.

Otherwise, with his cultivation, it would have been impossible to refine a Xuan Artifact.

“Kid, meet your end!” Blood Wolf shook the spear in his hand, transforming it into a straight line, stabbing at Xiao Ye, the cold light from the spearhead fierce.

“The opportunity is here, I have the Flame Saber in hand, still afraid of the Innate Weapon?” Xiao Ye sneered in his heart, pulling out the Flame Saber backwards, chopping at the incoming spear.

Crack!

Only to see the long spear emit a slight cracking sound, and then, under Blood Wolf’s shocked gaze, it snapped into two.

“How is this possible!” Blood Wolf gasped coldly, his face full of disbelief.

An Innate Weapon, actually broken by Xiao Ye?

“That’s…

a Xuan Artifact!” His gaze fell on the Flame Saber, his pupils violently constricting.

“Now that you know, it’s too late!” A flash of cold light in Xiao Ye’s eyes, his figure burst forward, seizing the moment of Blood Wolf’s shock, he raised the Flame Saber high, power explosively unleashing, then fiercely chopping down.

Oppression Saber!

Blood Wolf shuddered, Xiao Ye’s saber strike in his eyes seemed as if it had triggered the heavens and earth to press down.
