Chapter 161 – Kill (2/2)

The invader quickly tried to escape. However, he realised that the hand that was originally holding on to the sword had unknowingly clamped his arm, like a fierce beast firmly biting onto its prey. Only by cutting off his arm could he escape.

The invader was courageous enough to do it. But sadly, he had run out of time.

Ka!

The sound of bone fracturing rang out.

The invader’s eyes were filled with disbelief, but very quickly died down. His body twitched for a bit before dropping.

Qing Yi was holding the man with the smashed head and arms and threw him aside, like he was throwing out the trash. His feet burst with power and headed towards another direction. In that direction laid a bush that was not too big. When you looked at it, it didn’t seem like a good hiding place.

Qing Yi was like an accelerating sports car flashing by. He made it in front of the patch of bushes in the blink of an eye.

After countless collisions came a ripping sound.

This was followed by the shadow behind the bushes being torn into two halves.

An extremely barbaric and bloody way, befitting of the Drumming tribe. If you had seen Qing Yi’s eyes now, you would have noticed his eyes were not dark-brown, but yellow-brown instead, like a person with a bad temper.

Qing Yi was the only one in the tribe to have two different eye colours. His eyes were usually dark brown, making you think he was harmless. However, once he went into battle, they would change into those of a foreign tyrant.

Qing Yi’s actions probably made the lurkers in the area believe they had already been found, so they rushed out one after another. Thinking that he was too hard to deal with, they put all their attention on Shao Xuan. Only by dealing with the few older ones would the children become manageable. They were really easy to handle and could be done in at any time.

The opponent made use of his speed advantage by constantly changing his position when he rushed out to escape the Drumming tribe’s initial burst. He would have a much higher chance of success after dodging the first strike.

But Shao Xuan was not from the Drumming tribe, and his speed was not any slower than his opponent as well.

Shao Xuan drew out his white tooth sword. After leaving the tribe, this sword hadn’t gone through the cleansing ceremony since, leaving its white body stained with blood in different shades of red. These were all from the time he was in the canoe, killing the river beasts. Even if he was very careful, he could not avoid killing.

A regular cleanse could not totally cleanse the sword. A sword that had not gone through the cleansing ceremony and had killed many would always emit a breathtaking, biting-cold aura from it. Chen Jia, who was closest to Shao Xuan, felt a shocking cool sensation in his forehead, which sent chills down his back. He couldn’t help but shudder.

Shao Xuan took in a big breath, his body bent down in position to face the incoming opponent; without hiding or dodging, welcoming him instead. The shoulder of the hand holding the tooth sword trembled, before his whole arm moved like he had installed an accelerator, making his sword blurry when slashing down onto the incoming opponent.

Compared to the Drumming tribe’s members, Shao Xuan did not inflate massively, but the aura he emitted with his sword strike was much stronger, dominating his opponent.

The sword left a blurry arc, only a slight sound was heard, and the first invader rushing out towards Shao Xuan had already had his neck sliced. Due to the force of the sword strike being extremely ferocious, the opponent’s entire head had almost come off.

After killing one man, Shao Xuan did not stop. Like a leopard hunting its prey, he dodged another incoming strike. Just as the strike went past him, he used his sword to stab the opponent’s arm.

Bang!

The opponent’s sword did not reach Shao Xuan. Instead, it went into the mud near Shao Xuan’s feet at full force.

The strike was like a miniscule bomb exploding. It slammed down, splashing the muddy water in all directions, just like mud-coloured fireworks.

At the moment, Chen Jia was unable to see what was going on behind the explosion of muddy water. But after it dropped, the battle behind had already ended.

The intruder stood by the muddy waters, hand holding a black bone sword, still maintaining the position of hacking. The scale-like totem pattern vanished and his eyes stared with disbelief at his chest. There was a bloody hole. The red liquid was constantly flowing out, staining the muddy waters.

Shao Xuan was very calm the first time he killed a human. He did not know if it was because his new body had affected his way of thinking or if it was because he had grown accustomed to this world’s cruel rules. Or even maybe because he was naturally cold-blooded.

Shaking off the blood on his tooth sword, Shao Xuan observed his surroundings and saw that somebody was making his way over to him. He did not know if they were Martyr tribe members who broke through or the ones who were sneaking within the tribe.

No matter, this was not a place to stay for long. It was better to send the children off to the chief’s side as soon as possible.
