Chapter 231 – The Clan Leader Returns (2/2)

“Click~!”

The middle-aged man didn’t even have time to raise his blade to block. A thin red line appeared on his face and ran down his body. A few seconds later, the middle-aged man had split into two straight down the middle, dying an extremely gruesome death. In his stomach area, a yellow golden bead started floating up into the air and slowly flew off in the opposite direction of Lei Yu.

Lei Yu noted the movements and leapt up, grabbing onto the golden bead. “Such a powerful aura!” Lei Yu was shocked, and figured it might be of use in the future. He then placed the golden bead inside his storage ring.

Turning around, Lei Yu gently lifted up the old man’s corpse intending on burying it with everyone else. He suddenly sensed a faint aura in the pile of bodies. As Lei Yu was about to try to figure it out, at that moment, a white light shot through the skies towards him. Lei Yu was suddenly shocked, “Another person has come!”

The person was dressed in a simple manner; his gray clothing even looked a bit dilapidated. The style of clothing was very similar to what the townspeople here wore. From the look of his face, this new arrival was a middle-aged man with a moustache who seemed like a simple and honest individual.

This person’s eyes were filled with shock as his body trembled. The person looked at the grounds filled with corpses, “How... how… how could this have happened?!”

Lei Yu was about to say something but this person suddenly turned around. Once he saw Lei Yu holding the old man, he suddenly shouted: “Father! Why did you kill my clansmen? Why?!”

“I…”

“Accept your death!” Lei Yu didn’t even have time to speak when this person already started chanting something. Right after that, the sword underneath the person’s feet looked like a soul had entered it and started flying towards Lei Yu. It was obvious the sword was being controlled by this person’s internal energy. This was considered a form of attacking and can be considered one of the more sophisticated kinds.

Lei Yu hurriedly raised his Sky Devouring Sword to block the strike. While blocking, he cried out: “You must be this town’s Clan Leader right?”

“There’s no use spouting crap! You will pay for this with your blood!” The person’s attacks became more furious and violent.

At this time, in the midst of the pile of bodies was a slight sound. Lei Yu was the first to hear it and hurriedly used his Sky Devouring Sword to smash away the Clan Leader’s sword. Lei Yu’s body then quickly flashed across towards the sound he heard. The Clan Leader didn’t have time to react and by the time he realized something was up, his eyes became bloodshot and tears started dripping down.

“What are you trying to do?!” The Clan Leader clenched his jaws while displaying an expression that he wanted to rip Lei Yu to shreds with his bare teeth.

Lei Yu was holding onto a child that was covered in blood. One could see the child wanted to cry but was already scared beyond that stage. While also gasping for air, the child was simply unable to cry at this point.

Lei Yu didn’t bother responding to that person or bother explaining himself. As long as the child was okay, everything would reveal itself.

“Tian Dan Er, are you okay?” Lei Yu softly asked, afraid that his own voice would startle him.

Standing a short distance away, that person was startled by the words. The only people in the town that knew Tian Dan Er’s name were his own clansmen and no one else. How did this stranger know it?

That’s right; this child was the little boy with big clear eyes that Lei Yu first met - Tian Dan Er.

Tian Dan Er was fine because before the massacre, the townspeople had surrounded him. Once that middle-aged man started his massacre, he didn’t notice his faint aura which ended up saving him. It’s fortunate that Lei Yu pulled him out of the heap of bodies just in time or else the weight of all those corpses alone would take his life.

After a while, Tian Dan Er sobbed a few times before finally crying.

“Don’t be afraid Tian Dan Er, that baddie has already been killed by me. Don’t be afraid!” Lei Yu gently stroke his back to comfort him.
