Danwu God Emperor

"Xiong Wu!"

Butcher raised his sword, unable to hide his surprise. He recognized Xiong Wu, who was standing before him, even if he were ashes. They had sparred many times in the past, and the grudges and entanglements between them were well known to those nearby.

"That's right, it's me, are you scared?" Xiong Wu raised his broadsword and pointed it at the butcher's knife, his aura bursting forth, not inferior to his opponent's at all.

Although Xiong Wu only operated near third-tier towns, it didn't mean his strength was inferior to Tu Dao's. After all, they had fought each other countless times, and both were well aware of each other's strength.

Now Tu Dao is in a dilemma. Ye Lou's strength is unfathomable and he should not be much weaker than himself. Now that Xiong Wu has been added to the mix, is Yun Longxu really going to be handed over to someone else?

"Xiong Wu, we can settle our scores later. If you have the guts, let me deal with this kid in front of me," Tu Dao said unwillingly.

"Who do you think you are? You think I won't interfere? Ye Lou is my brother, his business is my business. You'd better hand over Yun Longxu obediently, or I'll settle all my old scores with you."

When the members of the four major families saw that a powerful figure had appeared beside Ye Lou, they were filled with regret. If they had befriended him from the beginning, they wouldn't be the ones tied up now.

"Shame on you for giving me face!"

Enraged, Tu Dao bared his teeth and swung his broadsword at the enemy, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. He had planned this day for so long, and Yun Longxu was determined to succeed. How could he allow Ye Lou and his group to ruin his plans?

However, Xiong Wu was not intimidated by his anger. Instead, he sneered dismissively. After all these years, they both knew each other's true strength and weaknesses.

He exerted force with both hands, holding the broadsword horizontally in front of him. The two broadswords clashed, producing a clanging sound and sparks flying.

"Bluster! If you've got the guts, kill me!" Xiong Wu sneered, his teeth clenched in fury. In the mountain strongholds of the Qilian Mountains, only Xiong Wu could fight him, and yet today he had encountered him and was powerless to defeat him.

"My turn!" Xiong Wu exerted his strength, lifting the broadsword upwards, causing the blade to flip and somersault several times in the air.

Xiong Wu gave his opponent no time to spare. He shot out, leaped up and slashed, as if the void itself was about to be cleaved open by the greatsword. A huge blade imprint descended, blotting out the sky.

"Get out of the way!" Butcher shouted. His burly body was not clumsy at all. He used his footwork to jump into the air and slashed out with his sword.

The two fought without any skill; it was a simple and brutal clash of brute force. Their two broadswords collided, sending a gust of wind sweeping across the surroundings. The explosions nearby were deafening, and some nearby martial artists were directly blasted away.

The two were also badly injured; their hands were bruised and bloodied, and their two large swords flew backward. But the two showed no sign of stopping, and continued to fight hand-to-hand with the surrounding trees in mid-air.

Now that Xiong Wu has held back the butcher's knife and Jiao Deshou is seriously injured, Ye Lou faces no pressure at all when facing the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Butcher's Knife Stronghold.

"Come at me all at once!" Ye Lou took a step forward, his imposing aura causing these battle-hardened bandits to retreat in fear.

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of you. If any of you dare to back down even once, I'll kill him!" Butcher was furious to see his men already terrified before the battle even started. He just wanted to tear Ye Lou to shreds, but Xiong Wu clung to him like glue, which only fueled his rage.

Upon hearing Butcher's Roar, the bandits mustered all their strength and charged forward, shouting "Kill!" at Ye Lou with undisguised confidence.

Ye Lou narrowed his eyes. The group in front of him numbered at least twenty people, with an average strength of the first level of the Spirit Induction Realm. Yet, he showed no fear, standing with his hands behind his back. His composure only intensified their fear.

"I didn't expect this junior who suddenly appeared to be so strong. It seems that I have no choice but to take out the Cloud Dragon Beard today!" Jiao Deshou sighed helplessly. The Cloud Dragon Beard is the Jiao family's most precious treasure. No matter what the reason, if it is lost from his hands, he will inevitably be punished according to the family rules.

Moreover, these things are no longer important to him. What is more important is whether he can save the lives of these younger generation members. If the prodigies of the Jiang and Wei families die here, the Jiao family will probably be unable to defend themselves and will be plunged into an abyss of no return.

"Uncle, how can this be! How can our Jiao family compromise? They wouldn't dare to touch us!" Jiao Pengxing said angrily.

Jiao Deshou shook his head. Jiao Pengxing had grown up in the family and was used to being powerful and influential. He didn't understand the dangers outside and didn't want to explain it to him. Now, he actually hoped that Ye Lou would win, so that they could save their lives. At least the Wei family's prodigy wouldn't be harmed by them.

"Young Master Jiao, you can rest assured. This kid is also going to Tianyi Academy to register. We can't do anything to him here, so why should we be afraid of not being able to deal with him at Tianyi Academy?" Jiang Bo sneered.

Jiao Pengxing's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the other person and smiled, "That makes sense."

The group was whispering, and Ye Lou didn't have time to pay attention to what was happening. More than twenty men rushed up in front of him. Although they were just small fry, Ye Lou never underestimated his enemies.

With a wave of his hand, he stepped out and instantly appeared before them. The gust of wind he created sent them staggering, and the fallen leaves on the ground were as sharp as swords, tearing at their skin.

The twenty-odd men who were just full of vigor have now been half slapped down, and the remaining men stand still, watching their brothers rolling around on the ground.

Although the orders of the executioner were not to be disobeyed, knowing full well that charging forward would lead to no good end, they no longer had the drive to do so.

"Why aren't you coming?" Ye Lou took another step forward. "No, I'm coming!"

Ye Lou remained calm and composed throughout, lacking the arrogance of those prodigies and the menacing presence of these bandits, yet he was the most terrifying existence.

When the remaining bandits saw Ye Lou stroll out, one of them was so frightened that he dropped his weapon and knelt on the ground.

"Hero, spare your life!"

Once the cries for mercy were heard, another person dropped their weapon, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy. Then everyone knelt down.

"A bunch of trash!" Butcher was furious when he saw this and just wanted to go down and kill them. However, Xiong Wu didn't give him a chance to get away and kept slashing at him with his sword.

"You're all clever, saving yourselves from this physical pain!" Ye Lou nodded and smiled, then summoned the Ice Soul Divine Seal from his robes. The temperature in the vicinity plummeted, and the dazzling light blinded everyone.

"This..." Jiao Deshou sat up straight in shock. He was probably the only one who knew what Ye Lou had taken out, but he had no idea what level it was.

But the thought that someone from a third-rate town could produce a pill-inducing agent is still a bit frightening.

Ye Lou tossed the Ice Soul Divine Seal into the air, where it hovered, emitting a chilling aura that enveloped the bandits. Of course, he also controlled the chilling aura; otherwise, how could they withstand the attack of the Ice Soul Divine Seal's cold energy?

After dealing with these people, Ye Lou turned to look at Tu Dao, who was locked in a fierce battle with Xiong Wu. Suddenly, he unleashed a palm strike, the energy emanating from his palm rushing towards his opponent like a demon.

At the same time, Xiong Wu also threw a punch from Hong Sha, the fist's energy sweeping away everything. Tu Dao looked terrified, unable to defend himself on either side, so he had no choice but to spread his arms, attempting to parry the attacks from both of them.

However, even if Ye Lou and Xiong Wu were to fight Tu Dao by themselves, how could he possibly withstand the attacks of both of them at the same time? When a punch and a palm struck his body, Tu Dao knew he had made a mistake.

It felt like his body was about to explode. Two forces passed through his arms and went straight into his body, churning and churning inside.

puff!

Butcher finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and his face turned pale and then red. He was in even more pain than if he had gone into a state of demonic possession. He was obviously seriously injured.

"You just wait!" Butcher glared at the two men fiercely, knowing full well that they would surely die if things continued this way, and immediately fled into the distance.

"You bastard, do you think you can get away?"

"No need to chase after them!" Ye Lou said, blocking Xiong Wu's path.

"Why did you stop chasing them!" Xiong Wu asked, his eyes bulging in confusion.

“We still have important business to attend to. Although he is injured, it will take us at least half a day to catch up with him. Yunlongxu and Tianyi Academy are the key,” Ye Lou said.

Xiong Wu sighed in frustration. He had finally managed to wound Butcher's Blade today, but he couldn't kill him. He was really annoyed.

However, he did not refute Ye Lou's words at all, nodded, and spat in the direction where Tu Dao had fled.

"I believe you. We won't chase him anymore. His injuries are bad enough for him to suffer."

The two approached the bandits. Ye Lou withdrew the Ice Soul Divine Seal, and after the chill dissipated, the bandits all went limp.

"You can leave!" Ye Lou said. He had no deep-seated grudges against them, so there was no need to cause unnecessary bloodshed.

When the bandits heard that Ye Lou had let them go, they kowtowed several times and scurried away in all directions. Of course, they dared not return to the stronghold. If Butcher saw them in the stronghold, would they still have a chance to live?

At this moment, only Jiao Deshou and the others remained in front of Ye Lou. They sat in a circle, looking up at Ye Lou, their faces still showing the arrogance of a great family.

"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, if you dare to touch us, our respective families can drown the Ye family with a single spit."

Jiao Pengxing laughed coldly. As long as Ye Lou defeated Tu Dao, this would be his trump card. If the people of Tu Dao Village could run away, could his Ye family run away?

Ye Lou was very displeased, frowning as he stared at him. If it weren't for the fact that the Ye family now had the help of several major families in the nearby towns, they would probably have to think twice about their actions.

However, Jiao Pengxing was unaware that the Ye family was no longer the same as before, and without hesitation, he slapped him across the face.

"You have no right to speak here!" After finishing the beating, Ye Lou turned to Jiao Deshou and said, "Did I do it, or did you take it voluntarily?"
