After he captured that clown, he would make sure to use every method of torture that existed in the world on him, and he would make sure that that ant regretted ever crawling out of his mother’s womb.

Thinking of that got him riled up, and his face became flushed. He could not resist the urge and howled towards the skies.

Before his howl ended, the sound of hooves reached his ears. Young Master Zhou turned around to look and almost fell off the horse’s back.

He would have never thought that after fleeing like this, Xu Yi would manage to catch up to within half a mile of distance between them without him even noticing.

In that instance, all the rage and viciousness within his heart vanished. All that was left was terror, so much that he began to tremble uncontrollably. Even Elder Feng could not manage to hold that guy back!

With that thought, Young Master Zhou became even more terrified. Now, he not only cracked his whip, but also began to kick the horse with his heel. Feeling the pain, the white horse sped up even more.

The white horse had not sped up for long when a loud crash was heard. The horse that Xu Yi was riding on had fallen to the ground. Young Master Zhou Looked back, then threw back his head and laughed. He pointed at Xu Yi and word by word, he clearly stated, “Just wait, I will skin you alive, tear out your nerves, and break all your bones!”

But the moment he said that, he saw Xu Yi’s feet move like lightning. With just a few taps on the ground and a few leaps, he had already dashed thirty meters.

Young Master Zhou was scared stiff, even leaking a bit in his pants. Once more, he kicked his horse and cracked his whip, and once more, the horse sped up.

Xu Yi’s murderous intent was overwhelming. As long as the Zhou’s were not vanquished, his soul will not be at peace.

Man and horse. One chasing, one fleeing. In the blink of an eye, they had travelled a few miles. Young Master Zhou’s heart was like a fish on land, thrashing about with all its might.

He would have never thought that Xu Yi’s martial arts were advanced enough that he could overtake a speeding horse with his two feet. Even Elder Feng was not at that level.

Young Master Zhou would naturally not have been able to figure out that Xu Yi had been training with extreme weights from the moment he had started training in the Martial Way, something that not just anyone could manage.

At this moment, with the weights off, Xu Yi’s body was as light as a feather. Over the few miles that they had travelled, the distance between them had not grown but shrunk, leaving only the distance of an archer’s range.

Young Master Zhou was so scared that his voice disappeared. He continued to kick at his white horse, not caring for its well-being. It was already foaming at the mouth.

When Xu Yi was just about to catch up, they turned past a peach grove and ran into a group of men on horseback. These were a dozen strong men in servant’s attire, escorting seven to eight prisoners with tattered clothes and heavy shackles on their ankles.

Seeing this group of men, Young Master Zhou shed tears of joy. These men were from his family, and the seven to eight prisoners were manual labourers being sent to work at their family’s mine.

The group of family servants saw their Young Master Zhou riding towards them and were ready to bow and greet him when they heard him shout with all his might, “Don’t freeze there like bloody corpses! Stop that bastard behind me! I’ll reward a hundred silvers!”

Before finishing his words, he had already rushed past the group of them while beating his horse.

The group of men came to their senses and cheered as they charged towards Xu Yi!

A hundred silvers, even when divided amongst all of them, was at least a dozen silvers each. This was more than they could earn from a year of hard work.

Seeing Xu Yi’s face, one of them had already recognized him to be the weak and skinny kid who was teaching at the Xu family village. As he spread the word around, the cheers became even greater, and they charged even faster, none of them pausing to wonder why their Young Master was fleeing in such a hurry in the first place.

Xu Yi’s killing intent exploded outwards. He hated each and every member of the Zhou family to the bone. Seeing the group of men charge him, his speed did not slow at all. Employing “Crashing Heaven’s Gate,” he met them like a dragon crashing into the mortal realm.

Seven to eight men were immediately sent flying. The first two in front were sent into mid-air, bones broken and very much dead.
