BXBX NOVEL Chapter 26
Chapter 26: The Wolf King’s Head as a Gift
She fell deep into the hillside and could not be more dead.
Then, Li Yu’s figure flashed a few times. Three experts of the Netherworld Demon Sect, who the soldiers saw as powerful as gods and devils, had instantly died.
The last remaining expert with untidy hair and a zombie-like face watched in horror.
Knowing that Li Yu was someone he could not mess with, he immediately attempted to escape.
Run?
Li Yu was so quick that no one could see him coming.
After that, a shrill cry resounded as the fleeing expert of the Netherworld Demon Sect perished on the spot.
“This kid is a freak!” Zhang Zhizhong looked in shock as Li Yu trotted back to Ye Qiu.
For a moment, everyone forgot that they were half a step into the gates of hell not long ago.
The remaining soldiers looked at Li Yu and could not recover from their shock for a moment.
“Senior Brother, why are you here?” Ye Qiu was surprised, but he was more grateful.
“Just here to settle something! Look at you. How are you supposed to enter the battlefield like this? With such meager ability, you’re going to die!” Li Yu pretended to be angry as he scolded Ye Qiu.
“Haha, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of my senior brother!” Ye Qiu was not angry. He knew that although Li Yu said that, he must have secretly followed him because he was worried about him.
Moreover, his objective for this trip was probably to eradicate the Wolf King clan.
I knew it! My senior brother is a great hero who cares deeply about the world.
That day I told him about the war in the north and the people’s suffering. Although he did not say anything then, he still traveled here secretly. He must be planning to attack in secret.
If I hadn’t encountered an ambush and almost lost my life, he wouldn’t have made his appearance easily. He wanted to get rid of evil for the people, yet he did not want anyone to know about it. He’s truly a hero, a true hero worthy of our admiration!
“Alright, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave!” Li Yu waved his sleeves and prepared to leave.
“Senior brother, aren’t you coming with us?” Ye Qiu hurriedly asked.
“What? Do you want me to be your bodyguard? I told you I’m here to settle some matters, not to save you!” Li Yu said in annoyance.
“Haha, Senior Brother is right. Then your Junior Brother bids you farewell!” Ye Qiu did not say anything else and cupped his hands.
Li Yu waved his hand. With a tap of his foot, his figure disappeared on the spot again.
“Young Master, are you alright?” Zhang Zhizhong rushed forward and asked in concern.
“I’m fine. We are fortunate that my senior brother stepped in to save us just in time. Otherwise, we would have really died here!” Ye Qiu replied with lingering fear.
“Young master, who is this senior brother of yours? To have such power at such a young age is absolutely remarkable!” Zhang Zhizhong was also filled with curiosity.
“Well, he’s a hermit expert. Once I return home after this war, I’ll be preparing to go under their tutelage!” Ye Qiu said with a proud expression, though he didn’t plan on saying much about Li Yu.
He felt that Li Yu must be someone who liked to keep a low profile. Otherwise, it would be impossible that not many have heard of him until now with his monstrous capability.
If not for the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Rankings, he probably would not have known about Li Yu, much less witnessed how he had killed the demon child with a single strike.
It was the same this time. Li Yu had clearly decided to come to the Mo Prefecture to deal with the Wolf King Clan, but he pretended to be indifferent.
Since his senior brother liked to keep a low profile, Ye Qiu could not do anything that displeased him.
Therefore, he did not tell Zhang Zhizhong too much about Li Yu.
Zhang Zhizhong was a clever person. Seeing that Ye Qiu did not elaborate, he did not ask further.
He only replied with an “oh” and continued, “Young Master, let’s continue on our way. Let’s hurry to Tiger Forest Pass and meet up with General Ye. We’ll be safer over there!”
“Okay!” Ye Qiu and the others set off again. There were originally 30 people in the escort party. Now, only six were left.
When they arrived at Tiger Forest Pass, it was already evening.
It was not a big deal as they finally successfully met up with the army that Ye Guxing brought from the Qing Prefecture and set out for the Jade Peak Pass.
Meanwhile, Ye Guxing had already rushed to the front line at Elite Peak Pass on his flying spirit beast.
At present, the Wolf King’s clan army had amassed outside Elite Peak Pass, ready to attack at any moment.
There was an urgent need for a general to oversee the battle, so Ye Guxing rushed over first.
…
To the north of Elite Peak Pass, the once prosperous cities had turned into a living hell in the human world. It was filled with desolation, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
The fire burnt the buildings in the city, and thick smoke filled the sky.
A portion of the men from the Wolf King’s clan had stayed in the city. They were still plundering the remaining wealth and women. They cruelly killed the commoners who survived, not even letting children off.
The main army of the Wolf King clan had already headed south to Elite Peak Pass and was stationed there temporarily.
They were prepared to break through the newly established defense line of the Great Xia Dynasty at any moment.
At the entrance of the army camp, a group of tall and ferocious Wolf King clan soldiers escorted dozens of teenage girls and more than a hundred captured soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty into the army camp.
The few in the lead were riding steelback wolves with a body as robust as a cow.
“You guys send these girls to the wolf king’s tent first!” The leader of the group ordered.
These were the women newly captured from the nearby cities, and they were preparing to offer them to their Wolf King and the various commanders for their enjoyment.
“Yes, sir!” Those few soldiers received the order and quickly escorted the frightened girls to the wolf king’s tent.
“The rest of you will send these captives to feed the wolves!” the leader said.
The soldiers received the order and quickly escorted the captured Great Xia Dynasty soldiers towards the area where the wolves were kept.
In the wolf area, steelback wolves as strong as cows growled in excitement when they saw the Great Xia Dynasty soldiers being pushed in. Immediately, they opened their bloody mouths and pounced at those soldiers.
The miserable human cries and the howls of the steelback wolves echoed through the entire camp, but it did not cause any discomfort to the members of the Wolf King clan.
The group of teenage girls turned pale and shivered.
“The girl I slept with today is so fair and tender, and she has big breasts!”
“That’s right, the women of this Great Xia Dynasty are so tender and lively. Their cries are pleasant too!”
“Haha, I heard that the ladies in the south are more beautiful. Once we conquer the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, we’ll grab a few imperial concubines and princesses to play with. It’ll definitely be awesome!”
The few Wolf King soldiers escorting the girls discussed loudly with lecherous smiles.
However, just as they brought these women to the wolf king’s tent entrance, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.
A short sword as thin as a cicada’s wing sliced through their throats in an instant, and they dropped dead in synchrony.
The teenage girls were also shocked to see how those Wolf King’s soldiers escorting them had died.
However, none of them screamed or made any noise as they only looked around in fear and confusion.
Apart from the dead Wolf King clan soldiers and tent guards on the ground, there was no one else.
Meanwhile, at this time, singing and dancing were going on in the wolf king’s tent, and everyone was toasting each other.
A group of captured dancers was dancing elegantly in the middle of the main tent.
As for Wolf King Tharman and the other commanders, they were sitting around in a circle, hugging young girls with tear-stained faces and fear written all over them.
They indulged in the wine and meat in celebration while no one noticed that Li Yu’s figure was swaggering in from the tent’s entrance.
As soon as Li Yu entered the Wolf King clan’s camp, the system mission panel popped up again.
A new mission surfaced: [Kill the Wolf King Tharman and defeat the Wolf King Clan’s army. You can obtain 10 prestige points.]
The Wolf King, Tharman, was in cahoots with the Netherworld Demon Sect!
Hence, he planned to bring the head of the Wolf King Tharman as a greeting gift to the Netherworld Demon Sect Master.
