Chapter 9 Breakthrough_1
Translator: 549690339
Hmph!
Such a powerful collision turned Xiao Chen's face pale. A stifled croak escaped from his throat, while a warm stream of blood rose to his mouth. The scent of blood lingered in his nostrils. The huge force numbed his arms.
Therefore, Xiao Chen had to loosen his grip on the long spear to relieve the massive shock on his arms.
On the other side, looking at Xiao Chen, whom he had sent flying only for him to regain his footing instantaneously, Xiong Li's face darkened as though water was about to drip from it. A sense of frustration involuntarily arose within him.
Xiao Chen was still young, having just come of age. Even though he had become a Blood Refining Realm Warrior, he would still be vulnerable, considering he had just broken through. After all, resources were scarce within a radius of ten thousand miles. It was already a great fortune for a warrior to break through to the Blood Refining Realm. Speaking of profoundness was far-fetched. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be so difficult to handle. Initially, he thought Xiao Chen was just a timid lamb, but it turned out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Seeing how the grand elder of the Withered Wood Tribe remained in position and didn't make a move, Xiong Li rushed to shout at Mu Yan out of fear of changes. "Why are you not taking any action! If this little brat grows up and learns about that matter, hee hee, do you think he will spare you..."
His words were filled with faint hints of threat, revealing the dark secrets between them that correlated largely to Xiao Chen.
Seeing Mu Yan, who originally stood outside the battle and looked like a statue, acting somewhat oddly after hearing Xiong Li's words, Xiao Chen's face darkened slightly. He cogitated in his heart, "I can't let them join forces! Otherwise, I'll definitely be outnumbered."
The grand elder of the Withered Wood Tribe, who initially hesitated outside the circle, finally made up his mind to jointly kill Xiao Chen after a hardly noticeable cold gleam flickered in his turbid eyes.
Considering Xiao Chen's youth and martial arts prowess, Mu Yan, who had lived for hundreds of years and was still stuck in the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm, unintentionally increased his killing intent by a few points.
Mu Yan, unsheathed the war saber from his back, intending to join the battle. At this moment, an unforeseen upheaval arose!
A bull's strike!
Xiao Chen struck first. His long spear transformed into a green-colored streak, filled with intense killing intent, instantly traversed a few dozen feet and aimed for Mu Yan, who had just moved to join the battle.
"Little beast, courting death!"
Taken by surprise, Mu Yan had to engage in a hasty fight. His war saber, as red as blood, confronted the incoming long spear.
Boom!
The two weapons made a resounding impact in the air. Mu Yan was flung backwards, spewing blood unceasingly. Bits of his internal organs were even mixed with the blood. This strike landed Mu Yan in damage even before he could make his move. He lost his capability to fight back at once.
The force of tens of thousands of pounds was endowed on the long spear by Xiao Chen. One could imagine how great the impact would be. Although Mu Yan was a strong one in the Blood Refining Realm, he was already over a hundred years old, with his Qi and blood on the verge of exhaustion. As the old saying goes, even the strongest fist fears the youthful. Coupled with Xiao Chen's mindful attack, Mu Yan's hurried counterattack couldn't fully display his strength and ended him in this situation.
All this happened in the twinkling of an eye. When people responded, Mu Yan had already collapsed, losing his ability to fight. Even Xiong Li couldn't change anything.
Having effectively landed his attack, Xiao Chen knew when to stop. He turned around and withdrew his spear, adopting a defensive stance, seemingly indifferent to the wrathful glare from Xiong Li, signaling he was ready for battle.
"Chief of Bear Clan, you should understand why I came."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiong Li laughed instead of getting angry. "Haha... Little beast, do you think I would let those despicable ones go?"
Xiao Chen wasn't surprised by Xiong Li's response. Given the enmity between the two sides, what else was there to talk about?
As the saying goes, foes meeting each other strike sparks off instantly. Not to mention this was a deadly feud involved killing one's kin. They glared at each other, their gazes clashing and igniting sparks.
A negotiation between men suits better with force. Almost simultaneously, they both made their moves. The long spear, propelled by green combat qi, was like a bloodthirsty snake, lunging for the vital parts. The war saber was as fast as lightning, and it would not stop until Xiao Chen was slashed.
It seemed that neither of them could overwhelm the other. The brutal fight drove the two into a frenzy, doing their utmost to run their internal combat Qi to maintain the power of their weapons.
The intense battle left a complete mess wherever they went - darkness fell, rocks cracked, countless stone houses collapsed, and everyone fled afar to avoid getting embroiled in it.
The intense fight rapidly consumed Xiao Chen's internal combat Qi. He clearly understood the need to fight quickly. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable.
Thud!
The green long spear once again turned into a streak and collided with the blood-red war saber. Instantaneously, Xiao Chen retreated dozens of feet. At the same time, his other hand flashed as it broke through the vacuum in front of him and struck away the incoming saber light. Unexpectedly, he turned to one side, subdued what seemed to be a Black Mountain Tribe official, intending to extort information on the hostage's whereabouts.
Maybe he felt that Xiao Chen was ensnared, the official stuttered without uttering a word, refusing to speak even if it led to death.
Seeing this, a glint flickered in Xiao Chen's blood-red eyes. He instantly crushed the official's throat and threw him towards Xiong Li.
The official widened his eyes, seemingly unable to comprehend how Xiao Chen would dare to kill. He sunk into darkness with endless regret.
Xiong Li casually knocked aside the corpse flying at him and was furious once again. "Little beast, how dare you!"
Xiao Chen, with bloodshot eyes, ignored Xiong Li's rage. Since the Black Mountain Tribe had started, he wouldn't mind securing an absolute advantage. For his tribe, he wasn't afraid to slaughter the opponents.
The two continued their chase, one after the other. In an instant, five or six lives were taken by Xiao Chen. Now, he seemed to have turned into a demon. As his gaze shifted to a direction, the tribesmen of the Black Mountain Tribe fled in that direction.
"Locked in... in the black stone on the east..." Finally, someone cracked under the fear. In the face of Xiao Chen's demonic face, he revealed the place where the young girl from the Gu Yuan Tribe was held captive, but still didn't escape the fate of death.
"If you must blame something, blame your wrong place of birth," Xiao Chen said with killing intent upon seeing the surprised expression on the dying man's face.
Knowing the location of the hostages, Xiao Chen quickly joined the Guardian Clan Soldiers led by Ding Shan.
"Haha, Xiao Chen, I want to see where you'd flee to now," Xiong Kang, grinning smugly after seeing Xiao Chen and his over dozen men surrounded by the Guardian Clan Soldiers.
Facing so many enemies, the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe were gripping their weapons so tightly that their hands began to tremble. Beads of sweat fell from their foreheads due to the tension. Being surrounded, they could be chopped into minced meat in the next moment.
"Mount up!"
Xiao Chen's bellow woke up the terrified warriors, who quickly found their mounts to gather around him.
Xiao Chen, now mounted on his warhorse, hastily pulled Mu Qing up behind him, making her hold his waist and whispered, "Hold tighter, Brother Xiao is going to cut our way out."
His face, stained with blood and seething with an unprecedented killing intent, looked somewhat fearsome. However, Mu Qing, behind him, merely nodded softly after hearing Xiao Chen's words, as if with Xiao Chen there, she wouldn't fear any dangers.
"Xiong Kang, who the hell do you think you are to take my life!"
Xiao Chen laughed heartily. Despite his hoarse voice, it echoed powerfully. The muscular frame of his back appeared overwhelmingly firm and sturdy, like a giant mountain.
Following behind were the Clan's warrior guards wielding their weapons, tens of united soldiers sworn to rescue their tribesman without regret. True men should behave like real men!
Life may perish, but spirit should last forever!
By tearing a piece of leather from his clothes, Xiao Chen tied his long spear to his wrist, and raised it pointing obliquely forward. Then he bellowed at the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe asking, "What is the duty as a warrior?"
"Protect my clan, let the blood flow unceasingly, and never cease fighting till death!"
"What should we do with those who try to stop us from saving lives?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The war cries shook the sky; the warriors held their weapons with unsuppressed killer aura, their valor overwhelmingly spreading in all directions. It seemed to freeze the air above the Black Mountain Tribe and allowed the initially fumbling Gu Yuan soldiers to regain their courage. Holding their long spears, they glared at their enemies, waiting for their king's command.
Every time a cry of "kill" was shouted, the morale would surge a bit. By the time the last "kill" was shouted, the soldiers' will had reached its zenith.
Kill!
With Xiao Chen's battle cry, the blood qi of tens of that warriors instantly exploded dozens of feet, seemingly tearing the vault of heaven. The warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe charged at their enemies. True warriors would rather die in onslaught. Even if they were to die, they would not regret it for the sake of their tribesmen!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before long, the two sides collided. Led by Xiao Chen, tens of warriors formed a cone shape, much like a sharp knife slicing through the densely packed soldiers. Bloodshed was where they crossed, with flesh and blood fluttering.
Splat!
A Black Mountain warrior was hit in the forehead by Xiao Chen's long spear. Disbelief in his eyes, the man was thrust high into the crowd by the spear.
By the time Xiao Chen and his men killed their way to the stone house where the girls were confined, they were drenched in blood, each of them having suffered more or less injuries. However, not a mutter slipped from their lips.
Without any pause, they rushed into the stone house, rescued the tribesman, brought them onto their mounts, and tightly protected them in the middle.
Such a long fight had already exhausted Xiong Li. He had been endlessly directing his soldiers to encircle and intercept Xiao Chen, seemingly aiming to wear Xiao Chen out with swarm tactics.
"A narrow road meeting is a battle of courage! Get our way out!"
The long fight had drained the vitality of the soldiers. Thinking about the young girls on the backs of their horses, the warriors gritted their teeth and tightened their grip on their weapons.
Men have their lines to hold and their tenderness to women. If their sisters were harassed, what were they, the men for!
"Break through their blockade and get out! Kill!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a chill on his back. He reached back and grabbed a black arrow in his hand. His palm was wrapped with green combat qi, and the arrow split into two with a snap. He looked towards the source of the arrow and saw Xiong Kang, not far away, holding a black war bow and sneering. He had just avoided Xiao Chen's first shot and was about to shoot again.
Whoosh! With a cold snort, Xiao Chen flicked his finger, the broken black arrow transformed into a black light and shot out, returning at an even faster speed than before.
"Kang!"
Xiong Kang, previously sneering, didn't have time to dodge. The broken arrow hit him in the chest, and he fell to the ground, whether he was alive or dead was unknown. Xiong Li, who was nearby, saw Xiong Kang being hit and rushed over frantically.
Without Xiong Li's command, the warriors of Black Mountain became disoriented. Xiao Chen and his men seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, fleeing the Black Mountain Tribe at full speed.
