18: Not in the same class, carrying a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night
A silver-white bolt of lightning streaked across the sky!
The world suddenly brightened, and the fleeting light illuminated the figure standing before the mansion gate.
Dressed in a short grey outfit, his build was on the taller side of average, and his stance was as straight as a pillar.
His face was handsome, with well-defined features!
Below his brows, above his nose, his eyes were deep!
He quietly observed the four people before him, his voice calm as he spoke.
It was just like the look in his eyes!
“Second Chieftain, it’s him! He was one of those Mine Slaves who escaped!”
“He’s one of them?”
The burly man, referred to as Second Chieftain, stared intently at Jiang Yi with wide eyes!
As if he sensed something!
A strong Evil Qi permeated the air, and Killing Intent surged from his body!
“A Martial Artist?”
“You, wretched slave, killed my good brother?”
“Your brother?”
“My apologies, I was in a killing frenzy at the time, treating everyone equally, so I’ve forgotten which one it was!”
Jiang Yi shook his head in response.
“You… good!”
“When this Chieftain pulls out your tendons and strips your skin, we’ll see if you, wretched slave, can still be so stubborn!”
“Roar!!!”
The burly man immediately roared in fury!
His body swelled, muscles bulging, as if a wild bear from the mountains was charging headlong.
Extremely ferocious!
“Patta! Patta!”
A light rain began to fall, and everything seemed to become hazy.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath!
His entire body tensed, blood Qi surged, and a profound, grand, and perfectly rounded aura enveloped him.
“Boom!”
The floor cracked, and the air exploded!
His Physical Body powerfully tore through the rain curtain, strong winds spreading out, clearing a large space.
The two collided, utterly destructive!
The burly man was struck hard!
His entire upper body caved inward, internal bones cracking, and his internal organs ruptured.
In front of Jiang Yi’s immense force of seven thousand five hundred jin, the burly man’s Flesh Refining Realm cultivation level was utterly defenseless.
It was simply a joke.
They were not on the same level at all!
In just one round, the victor was decided, and so was life and death!
The burly man’s body was twisted, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his eyes were wide with rage!
He still had a trace of breath remaining!
“Wretch… slave, how could you be so…”
He trembled as he reached out, pointing at the advancing Jiang Yi, wanting to shout something?
What greeted him!
Was a foot descending!
“Go down, go to Hell, and find your brother!”
This kick directly crushed his remaining vitality!
To live one more second!
That would be a waste of fresh air!
[Killed one Flesh Refining Realm enemy, plundered 15 years of Lifespan.]
“It’s your turn now!”
Jiang Yi said lightly, looking up at the remaining three people.
“Second Chieftain… is dead?”
“This… how is this possible?”
“Run!”
The short figure seemed more nimble and reacted immediately.
He turned and leaped, jumping onto the courtyard wall, and fled outwards.
The other two had not yet moved, but Jiang Yi was already close, his left hand performing Mountain Splitting Palm, and his right hand performing Tiger Roar Fist!
Crushing stone and splitting monuments, tigers roaring in the mountains!
Under several thousand jin of force!
The two, who only had a rough understanding of Martial Arts and hadn’t even stepped into the threshold of a Martial Artist, died upon contact!
Their entire bodies’ bones and meridians exploded!
They were unrecognizable!
They slammed against the courtyard wall, like sticky candy clinging to it.
[Killed two enemies with rough Martial Arts, plundered 8 years of Lifespan.]
Jiang Yi did not stop!
His figure leaped, like a soaring swan treading clouds, directly pursuing the fleeing short figure.
“The Second Chieftain of Black Wind Fortress is a Flesh Refining Realm Martial Artist!”
“Then, what about their Chief Leader?”
“Forging Tendon, or Bone Tempering?”
“I wonder, with my strength, can I completely wipe out all these people?”
Jiang Yi landed with a step, standing in front of the short figure!
The short figure trembled!
His body shivered, terrified, wanting to turn and flee again!
At this moment, a large hand shot through the air!
Like an eagle’s claw, it landed on his neck, lifting him entirely.
“Speak, who is the strongest among you? What is his cultivation level?”
Jiang Yi loosened his grip slightly, allowing him to gasp for air, giving him a chance to speak.
Under the fear of life and death!
The short figure almost blurted out!
“It’s our Chief Leader, his cultivation level is Tendon Forging Realm.
He’s been in seclusion recently, preparing to Breakthrough to the next minor Realm.
My lord, spare my life, I have…”
“Thank you!”
Jiang Yi applied a little force, directly breaking his neck.
As a token of his gratitude!
To let him die quickly!
Unlike the others, who met a fate of being crushed to pieces!
[Killed one enemy with rough Martial Arts, plundered 5 years of Lifespan.]
“At the Peak of Tendon Forging Realm, or perhaps half a step into Bone Tempering, about to enter the threshold of Bone Tempering Realm!”
Hearing the short figure’s words, Jiang Yi pondered, given his current strength.
Killing enemies across Realms was not difficult!
Since that was the case, there was no time like the present; he might as well resolve it completely tonight.
Jiang Yi felt a surge of hot blood gradually boiling within him.
“It’s time… to get revenge!”
He didn’t even bother looting the bodies!
With the idea of a quick resolution, Jiang Yi braved the light rain and headed directly out of the town.
He first went to a small grove nearby and retrieved the ghost-head broadsword he had hidden earlier.
Wiping off the dirt clinging to it, he gave a light swing, and a flash of silver blade light appeared!
His vision immediately brightened, cutting through the darkness before him!
Jiang Yi carried the broadsword, performing the Martial Art of Soaring Cloud Leap, his posture light and ethereal, his steps like treading on flying clouds.
Using his movement technique to travel, he ascended Black Wind Fortress at night!
…Black Wind Mountain!
A famous towering ancient mountain within a hundred-mile radius, with towering trees and dense forests.
Looking from afar!
The entire mountain Peak seemed to be covered in a layer of ink-black flowing pulp.
Wind blowing through the forest, like a black wind!
Hence its name, Black Wind Mountain!
Of course, what made it even more famous was the Black Wind Fortress on its Peak.
A group of powerful Mountain Bandits occupied the mountain forest here, becoming outlaws.
Burning, killing, robbing, and plundering, they were infamous!
There was a winding path in the mountain, and Jiang Yi prepared to ascend along it.
At that time, they!
Were escorted up this very path, becoming Mine Slaves in the mine!
Later, they also escaped via this path, reaching WuShui Town.
Halfway up the mountain!
There was a simple thatched hut, inside which two Black Wind Fortress henchmen were gathered around a fire.
“Da! Da! Da…”
Accompanied by the pattering of light rain, footsteps grew louder from far to near.
“Who’s there?”
The two henchmen had just poked their heads out!
“The one who’ll kill you!”
A flash of blade light, and two fine heads, accompanied by crimson blood, flew high!
Their faces still showed extreme astonishment!
They clearly hadn’t reacted yet!
[Killed two ordinary enemies, plundered 6 years of Lifespan.]
“Continue!”
Jiang Yi lightly shook the blade, shedding the blood, revealing its sharp edge once more.
Thunder boomed again in the sky!
The bright lightning illuminated the figure in grey, his figure as straight as a pillar—
In the rainy night, he carried a blade, but no umbrella!
