102: Chapter 102 From today onwards, I'm in charge of this street.
Ten minutes later.
"Twenty times... This is impossible!!"
The One-Eyed Wolf King's face was filled with unprecedented terror at this moment.
As a mid-Fifth-Rank powerhouse, the moment gravity suddenly descended upon him, he tried to erupt with Qi and blood to forcibly break through the restraint. But he discovered with horror that this was not just gravity; it was more like a type of... domain that could lock down space!
In the cultivation system of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, only grandmaster-level powerhouses who have reached the Sixth-Rank Peak or even the Seventh-Rank could possibly comprehend a rudimentary form of a domain.
Yet, this human teenager before him, who was only at the Fourth-Rank realm, had casually plunged a blade into the ground and created such a terrifying force field that he couldn't even lift a single finger?
"You... are you an old monster hiding your cultivation realm?!"
The One-Eyed Wolf King knelt on the ground, his kneecaps already shattered into powder. "Don't... don't kill me! I am the Vice Leader of the Blood Wolf Gang! My big brother is a Sixth-Rank Peak! If you kill me, you won't survive either..."
"Noisy."
Lin Yuan calmly raised his hand, then... swung his blade.
Swish!
Puchi—!!!
A one-hit kill!
From the neck of the headless corpse, hot wolf blood surged up three meters high like a fountain!
But strangely, this blood did not fall to the ground.
Hum—!!
The slaying abyss battle blade in Lin Yuan's hand suddenly trembled. The blood-red dragon pattern on the back of the blade seemed to come alive, opening its maw and generating a terrifying suction force.
【Exclusive Trait: Spirit Devour!】
That gush of Fifth-Rank essence blood, along with the One-Eyed Wolf King's soul that hadn't yet dissipated, was instantly devoured completely by the battle blade!
The originally dark golden blade body became even deeper, and the cold glint on the edge was even more intense than before!
"Not bad."
Lin Yuan felt the feedback energy coming from the blade body, his internal Qi and blood slightly churning, and the realm barrier that had just been broken through loosened a little more.
"Killing to level up is indeed much faster than bitter cultivation."
As the One-Eyed Wolf King's head rolled to the ground, the entire Black Water Alley fell into a dead silence.
Those werewolf cavalrymen who were wailing all widened their eyes, not even daring to scream anymore.
Their Vice Leader, that notorious Fifth-Rank expert... was just slaughtered like a chicken?
"Run... run quickly!!"
Someone shouted, and dozens of werewolves at the edge of the gravity field scrambled away, wishing they had grown two extra legs, fleeing toward the alley entrance in a panic, abandoning their armor and weapons.
"Running?"
"Ancient Sword Soul, Ji Hongyi."
"Did you buy tickets to watch a show?"
Lin Yuan's voice was as cold as ice:
"Do I need to teach you how to beat a dog that has fallen into the water?"
"Leave none alive."
This sentence instantly woke everyone up.
"Kill!!!"
Ancient Sword Soul shuddered all over. The humiliation of being slapped away by the Naga Captain at the city gate just now erupted completely at this moment!
"Taibai · Thousand Stars Fall!!"
Although the S-Rank ancient sword in his hand was not as good as Lin Yuan's blade, in this situation controlled by Lin Yuan, harvesting this group of werewolves who had lost their fighting spirit was as easy as pie!
Countless sharp sword energies poured down like a rainstorm, instantly hacking the dozen or so werewolves who wanted to escape into pieces!
"I'll join too!"
Ji Hongyi was even more ruthless. With a flick of her wrist, a large cloud of colorful poisonous powder drifted with the wind. Those werewolves who inhaled the poisonous powder instantly foamed at the mouth and died with their whole bodies festering.
"Roar!!"
Dragon Battle was the most direct. He rushed into the werewolf group, grabbed the hind legs of two giant wolves, used them as clubs, and swung them wildly, smashing them until flesh and blood flew everywhere!
With the assistance of the gravity field, this was a one-sided, suspense-free massacre.
Ten minutes, just ten minutes.
The originally arrogant three hundred werewolf cavalry, except for the corpses all over the ground and the still-twitching severed limbs, had not a single survivor left.
Fresh blood dyed every inch of Black Water Alley red, and the thick smell of blood even overwhelmed the original stench of this place.
Lin Yuan stepped on the sticky blood and skillfully rummaged through the One-Eyed Wolf King's headless corpse. Soon, several heavy storage bags were in his hands.
"Tsk, poor ghost."
Lin Yuan opened them to take a look; inside were only a few hundred low-grade Origin Stones and a few bottles of inferior Qi and blood pills.
"Still, mosquito legs are meat too; I'll keep them for now."
Lin Yuan casually threw the loot into the system space, then looked up at his surroundings.
Those human refugees who had originally huddled in their tents and even wanted to kidnap them just now were all kneeling on the ground, trembling, without even the courage to look at Lin Yuan.
They were afraid.
They were afraid that this fellow human teenager, who was a hundred times more brutal than the werewolves, would take his anger out on them because of what happened just now.
Lin Yuan's gaze swept over these people; he didn't speak, nor did he blame them.
"This place... is too dilapidated."
"It's disgusting to live in."
As he said this, he turned around, raised his still-dripping battle blade, and pointed toward the end of Black Water Alley.
There stood a sturdy fortress built of black rock; although it couldn't be called luxurious, it stood out from the crowd in this slum area.
That was the hall established here by the Blood Wolf Gang, and also the place where these werewolves usually threw their weight around and bullied humans.
"That place."
Lin Yuan looked at the stone fortress, his voice calm:
"It belongs to us from now on."
"Who approves, who opposes?"
Silence.
After a dead silence, there was an explosive cry.
"We approve... we approve!!"
Old Liu was the first to plop down on his knees, slapping his own face hard with his remaining hand, tears streaming down his old face:
"Benefactor... no, Alliance Leader! We were blinded by greed just now!"
"Thank you for sparing our lives! Thank you for saving everyone's lives!"
"From now on, these hundreds of our worthless lives are yours! If you tell us to go east, we will absolutely not go west!"
Following Old Liu's kneeling, hundreds of ragged human refugees around them fell to their knees in unison, like dominoes.
"Long live the Alliance Leader!!"
"From now on, we will follow you!"
On this Starry Sky Ancient Road, where the strong prey on the weak and human lives are as cheap as grass, morality, law, and emotion are all hollow. Only absolute power is the only truth.
And the power Lin Yuan just displayed, which was like that of a god or demon, was the only straw they saw in this abyss of despair!
They feared Lin Yuan, but wanted to attach themselves to him even more, because only by following this "Tyrannosaurus" would they not have to be "two-legged sheep."
"Get up."
Lin Yuan did not go to help them up, just said it indifferently.
He sheathed his blade and strode toward the stone fortress that now belonged to him. When he reached the main gate of the stone fortress, Lin Yuan stopped and kicked the plaque at the entrance that read "Blood Wolf Gang" into pieces.
"Ancient Sword Soul."
"Here!" Ancient Sword Soul's face was flushed red, filled with excitement and worship.
"Go find a decent piece of wood, carve a few words, and hang it up."
Lin Yuan turned back, looking at the pitch-black "slaying abyss" banner, looking at the compatriots kneeling on the ground, his voice resounding through the entire Black Water Alley:
"Tell the whole city, from today on."
"This street is renamed 'Yanhuang Street'."
"This place is under my protection."
"No matter which race, no matter which path they are from, anyone who dares to stretch their claws in..."
A cold red light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes:
"I will chop off their claws, along with their heads!"
Boom!
As Lin Yuan's voice fell, an invisible momentum seemed to rise in this dilapidated slum.
Meanwhile.
Hum—!!
In Lin Yuan's mind, the system that had been silent all the way suddenly popped up a golden prompt box.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host! Successfully eliminated the hostile force and occupied the first stronghold!】
【Reputation value skyrocketed! Obtained title: Starry Sky Bully (Primary)!】
【Detected that the host has a fixed territory and followers... System version updated!】
【Brand new function module — 'Territory Construction' has been enabled!】
【Current Territory: Yanhuang Street (Level 1 Damaged)】
【Unlockable buildings: God-Demon Barracks, Spirit Gathering Tower, Ten-Thousand Races Arena...】
Looking at the series of icons lighting up, the smile at the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth gradually widened.
"Territory Construction?"
"A bit interesting."
"It seems this Starry Sky Ancient Road domination game... has only just begun."
