Danwu God Emperor

"Alright, I'd like to see who this junior is that Brother Dong is 'taking such good care of'?" Gu Xiu smiled with interest, and strode forward toward the town gate.

"Please, everyone." Dong Kuofeng followed Gu Xiu's steps, his face full of smiles. He hadn't expected that the plan to hang Ye Chongzhong on the town gate would actually work. As long as Ye Lou was eliminated, they could truly rest easy.

Everyone stepped forward and followed Dong Kuofeng to the town gate. Many of the families present came from second-class towns and had heard about the Wu and Dong families joining forces to kill the Ye family. They were particularly curious about Ye Lou, the Ye family's prodigy.

The wealthy and powerful men below the table also went to greet them. Thousands of people headed towards the town gate. However, they all scoffed at Ye Lou's actions, thinking that he dared to come alone, which was simply suicide!

As the crowd arrived at the town gate, a howling wind blew and wild grass grew tall, creating a desolate scene. More and more people stopped in front of the town gate, all looking up. They saw Ye Chongzhong with his hands bound, his head hanging down, and his eyes not even closed, hanging on the town gate.

Most of the people present had seen this scene before, but seeing it again still evoked a deep sense of sorrow.

"He was the eldest elder of the Ye family, yet even in death he cannot find peace. How tragic!"

"You can't say that. If the Dong family hears you, you'll probably be in even worse shape than him. Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is villain. If you lose, you have to accept your fate."

"That Ye Lou is even more foolish. In this situation, he dares to come and die. Does he think he can fight the entire Dong family by himself?"

Everyone gathered in front of the town gate, all with sneers, waiting for Ye Lou to appear. However, no one stood on his side. Such a reckless act was truly laughable. Those who remained in front of the town gate were unwilling to leave, and more and more people gathered. The area in front of Wushan Town was crowded with people and noisy.

"Is that Ye Lou?"

Someone shouted something, and everyone's expressions were quite interesting. They all looked into the distance and could vaguely see a person.

"You are Haotian's son?"

"What if I insist on showing favoritism?"

"Lou'er, hurry!"

The first and last words Elder Chongzhong had spoken echoed in his ears. Although he had long accepted the elder's death, when he saw the elder's body again, his heart still ached terribly, especially seeing it hanging on the town gate. The overwhelming rage wanted to burn his whole body.

If the person approaching from afar isn't Ye Lou, then who could it be?

"That really is Ye Lou!" Everyone stared intently before confirming it.

"Hmph!" Dong Kuofeng stepped forward and sneered, "I didn't expect him to actually dare to come!"

"Is he really that great? The outside world makes this Ye family's number one prodigy sound like a god, but I think he's not even one ten-thousandth as good as Brother Gu." Zhao Shiqi, the Zhao family's prodigy, said disdainfully.

"Why would Brother Shiqi compare Brother Gu to that kid? I'm afraid that kid isn't even as good as you or me," said Gong Cheng'er, the prodigy of the Gong family, with a sneer.

"Don't underestimate Ye Lou, you two. He does have some strength." Xu Neng had witnessed Ye Lou's strength at Wanbao Pavilion. He had fought against Yu Tianyi a month ago, which he had seen with his own eyes.

"When did Brother Xu become so fond of boosting others' morale while diminishing his own?" Both men looked at Xu Neng with disdain.

The Xu family ranks last among the four major families in Lanxi Town. Although Xu Neng is as famous as them, he is only at the second level of the Spirit Induction Realm. Gong Cheng'er and Zhao Shiqi are both at the third level of the Spirit Induction Realm. Although they are not as strong as Gu Wang, who is at the fourth level of the Spirit Induction Realm, they cannot help but feel proud when facing Xu Neng.

Xu Neng shook his head helplessly. Once upon a time, he also looked down on Ye Lou, just like them. He would just smile at their disdainful looks and stop arguing.

Gu Wang did not participate in their argument; his confident gaze answered everything. Standing there, looking directly at Ye Lou as he walked towards him, this sense of superiority seemed innate.

Ye Lou stepped forward, and when he was about a hundred steps away from the town gate, under the gaze of thousands of people, his legs slammed into the ground with a thud. This scene shocked everyone.

The gazes of the crowd were solemn; some understood Ye Lou's actions, while others scoffed at them.

Ye Lou didn't care about any of this. He knelt on the ground and moved forward little by little. His eyes were only on the elder. Thousands of anger burned on him like scorching light. His muscles and bones were being forged and his blood was boiling.

With each step he took, he could see the elder's face more clearly, and the pain was like being pierced by silver needles.

Seeing Ye Lou's expression, no one knew whether he was crying or laughing. It was so tragic. When he was only about thirty meters away from the crowd, they could really feel his overwhelming killing intent, which made them all take a step back.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With three consecutive thuds, Ye Lou's head slammed heavily onto the ground in front of him. Even Dong Kuofeng, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but tremble and began to question himself: had he grasped Ye Lou's weakness, or had he touched Ye Lou's sore spot?

"what!"

With a roar to the sky, Ye Lou raised his head again, transforming into a bloodthirsty god of death, his eyes bloodshot. Even if he fell into the demonic path again, so what!

"Dong Kuofeng, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Ye Lou stood up, strode forward, and his gaze seemed capable of killing!

"How arrogant!"

Zhao Shiqi suddenly rushed out, wielding a sword and swinging through the air. Before Zhao Yuanfeng could stop him, he saw his son had already stepped out. His heart skipped a beat. The feeling Ye Lou gave him was one that even he dared not underestimate.

However, considering that his son was at least at the third level of the Spirit Induction Realm, even if he was defeated, he should be able to escape unscathed.

"Shiqi, watch out!"

Zhao Shiqi smiled. It was quite an achievement to make a name for himself in front of so many people. He unleashed a series of sword energies with his longsword, and he and his sword became one, disappearing into the void.

"Brother Zhao has actually mastered the Heart-Questioning Sword Technique to such an extent!" Everyone around exclaimed in admiration.

"court death!"

Ye Lou let out a low roar, and no matter how turbulent the sword energy was, it turned into nothingness as it struck him. Everyone who saw this felt a tightness in their hearts. Zhao Shiqi, who was coming from the opposite direction, was also shocked, but the attack could not be stopped.

"I'll grant your wish!" Ye Lou's demonic gaze was incredibly sharp. He shattered the man's longsword with a single palm strike, grabbed him in his hand, and with a roar, tore it apart with both arms.

Zhao Shiqi was torn in two!

"Shiqi! No!" Zhao Yuanfeng never expected that Ye Lou would be so strong. His son, whom he had cherished for more than ten years, was killed so easily. At this moment, he was filled with despair.

The thousands of people present gasped. Most of them had only heard that Ye Lou possessed near-demonic talent and extraordinary strength, but when they actually saw this scene, not one of them dared to approach Ye Lou again.

"This kid has gotten stronger again!" The only ones who weren't shocked were the members of the Dong family. Dong Kuofeng, the head of the family, was a fifth-level Spirit Guiding Realm expert, but he was no match for him. He also knew that if Zhao Shiqi rushed up, he would only be throwing his life away.

Gong Cheng'er, who had boasted so confidently, was so frightened that he kept backing away. If Zhao Shiqi hadn't rushed out before him, he would have been the one who died. Having escaped with his life, he looked at Xu Neng in shock, unable to believe the strength before him. His boastful words had been slapped hard in the face.

Although the Gu family father and son were also surprised, they did not show it, making them the most composed people here besides the Dong family.

"Who else is on the Dong family's side!" Ye Lou stood still, exuding an aura of supreme authority, glaring ahead, intimidating them so much that none of them dared to meet his gaze.

"I will!" Zhao Yuanfeng roared without hesitation, "Today I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"

Dong Kuofeng, his aura restrained, smiled calmly and said, "Ye Lou, I think you've gone mad. Do you think you can defeat so many of us just because you're strong? Who do you think you can scare? Do you really think you can challenge all of us by yourself?"

"So what if I'm on the Dong family's side?"

"My Gong family is one of them."

"I promise..."

"Father, we can't underestimate Ye Lou. Let's not jump to conclusions." Xu Xingcheng was about to take sides, but Xu Neng stopped him. Even someone like Qian Buduo could look at Ye Lou with new respect in such a short time. He had a bad feeling and quickly dissuaded his father.

Even without the Xu family, many families and gentry stood on the Dong family's side, and the number of people gathered was over a thousand. As for the others, most of them were ordinary people or people who were afraid of trouble and did not want to get involved.

"How about it?" Dong Kuofeng waved his hand, exuding domineering confidence.

"Who says Ye Lou is deserted!"

At this moment, dozens of people emerged from the crowd. Weren't they the old women, children, and women who had escaped from the Ye family's secret passage? Only then did Ye Lou's anger subside. The old lady Yu Zhao, who was at the head of the group, slowly walked over, leaning on her cane.

"Grandma Yuzhao, what brings you here!" Ye Lou exclaimed in surprise.

"Young Master Ye Lou, we are willing to fight alongside you!"

"Yes!" One by one, they raised wooden sticks and machetes high above their heads.

"Hahaha!"

The appearance of the Ye family women and children did not pose any threat to the Dong family's side; on the contrary, it caused them to burst into laughter.

"Even if there's no one else, don't call out any women. Look at that old hag, she's practically in her grave. I could blow her away with a single breath!"

"Since everyone's here, that's perfect. It saves me the trouble of searching for you remnants." Dong Kuofeng smiled and waved his hand, and everyone stepped forward.

"Grandma Yuzhao, you all go to the back first. Let me handle this." After Ye Lou finished speaking, he gave her a reassuring look. Yuzhao remembered this look. She had seen the same look at the family banquet before the enrollment of Tianyi. She nodded firmly and led the women and children of the Ye family to the back.

Ye Lou stepped forward, looking directly in Dong Kuofeng's direction, and said, "Since you have made your choice, you should pay the price for it."

Everyone was puzzled as to why Ye Lou was not afraid at all!

Ye Lou clenched his left fist and raised it high above his head. "Now you'll see my men!"
