"I want to find someone, to destroy us?"

Wait!

Could it be?!

The crowd exchanged glances, looking in shock at Lord Shu.

"Lord Shu, could it be that the person who's barging in from outside is the Ye Niuniu we're supposed to capture?"

"Indeed! It must be him! At this time, only that guy would dare to charge straight in."

Lord Shu narrowed his eyes, a series of cold laughs escaping his lips.

Originally, Lord Shu had intended to set a trap first, inviting him into a snare, but now it seemed that was unnecessary.

"Let's go, we'll go and meet that fellow."

With that, Lord Shu took the lead and left.

Seeing this, the others all had looks of excitement flash through their eyes, and they closely followed behind.

The [Thief Rankings] had a hundred people, with varying strengths.

But the top ten were all Human realm cultivators!

Ten Human realm experts dealing with a Human realm beginner? That should be a piece of cake, right?

Just as they were thinking this, the group arrived outside and were immediately taken aback.

They saw that below their [Dongliu Mountain], it was utter chaos.

Under the cover of night, a thatched house built at the foot of the mountain exploded like it had been hit by a cannonball.

Along with the flying rubble and thatch, figures flew out one after another, some crashing into walls and dying, others falling to the ground and perishing, each with their own gruesome end.

In just that one moment, more than a dozen people had died.

But this wasn't the end. The troublemaker below was like an unstoppable train, rampaging through everything. He charged into the next thatched house, followed by another deafening explosion, and amidst the flying debris, the crowd suffered another wave of casualties.

Looking down the mountain road, more people holding torches surged down the mountain path like a long, fiery dragon, its flames bright and its momentum fierce.

Faced with the terrifying power below, these subordinates showed no fear, leading the charge.

The head bandit smiled.

"These are the night thieves we've trained, orderly and unafraid of death!"

"That's right! If the person who came wasn't too strong, they would have been able to take care of him!"

"Compared to our subordinates, those people from [Qing Si] and [Lan Shan] are just officials in name only. If a real fight broke out, they'd be far less effective than our people!"

As the bandit leaders exchanged words, they saw that the commotion below had spread from the thatched houses at the foot of the mountain to the mountain road.

In the flickering firelight, a black figure moved against the 'dragon,' wherever he passed, it was like a storm had swept through, and all the torches fell and rolled down the mountain, losing their light in a short time.

Death and extinguished flames!

"So fast!"

In shock, they saw that wherever the figure passed, all the flames were extinguished.

Like a precise fire extinguisher, he went straight up the mountain, wiping out all the night thieves holding torches along the way!

Their pupils shrinking, the Thief Ranking members couldn't help but grow angry!

"How dare he!"

"We were just observing for a moment, and he killed our people right under our noses!"

"You elder brothers should rest first, let me go down and meet that kid and see if he really has the skills of a Human realm beginner!"

The one who spoke last was the tenth-ranked thief leader on the [Thief Rankings], named Lao Shi, so everyone called him Thief Number Ten.

After roaring, Thief Number Ten hurriedly went down the mountain road.

Seeing this, the other top ten thief leaders showed varying reactions. Some were tempted, some hesitated, and some had gloomy expressions, each with their own thoughts, but none of them followed.

On the other hand, many of the great night thieves outside the top ten on the [Thief Rankings] rolled their eyes and followed Thief Number Ten down the mountain.

If the other top ten bosses didn't make a move, then they would have a chance to get a share of the pie.

Lord Shu's idea was that whoever contributed the most to capturing [Ye Niuniu] alive would get a share of the reward.

If Thief Number Ten could take down [Ye Niuniu] in one fell swoop, and the other bosses didn't make a move, then they would have a great chance to get a piece of the action.

At that time, whether they transferred their spot to curry favor or kept it for themselves to retire, there would be room to maneuver.

Their calculations were beautiful, but the others standing on the top of the mountain didn't think highly of Thief Number Ten's reckless actions.

Eager to make a contribution, he jumped out without even figuring out the other party's strength. That was foolish.

The normal approach would be to let those subordinates, the great night thieves outside the top ten on the [Thief Rankings], test him out first.

After probing his strength, they could be more cautious and use a human wave to exhaust his physical and internal strength, and then take him down steadily.

If they were in a hurry, they could make a move at this time, with a better understanding of the situation.

Most people thought so, but some smart people could see that Thief Number Ten wasn't actually stupid.

Because with only five spots available, the tenth-ranked him most likely wouldn't have a chance.

It was better to gamble that Ye Niuniu's true strength was nothing more than that, and take him down early to secure a spot.

While the others were hesitating, he had already taken action, giving him an innate advantage. As long as Ye Niuniu's strength didn't live up to his reputation, then there would be room for him to maneuver.

Even if Ye Niuniu was really that brave, he would have paved the way for the other elder brothers and earned a wave of goodwill.

This was different from the probing of other subordinates.

As a Human realm beginner expert, he was personally testing the waters, which could test the upper and lower limits of Ye Niuniu's strength and provide ample data for those who came later, increasing their chances of winning.

Even if he was defeated, he could use this contribution to get the care of the other elder thief leaders, making this adventure worthwhile.

When someone retreats, someone takes over.

Retiring from the martial world also required arranging the resources in their hands properly.

And the resources that were only useful to some night thieves naturally had to be left behind.

As for who to leave them to, that was another matter.

Five spots represented five territories and resources.

Thief Number Ten could use this achievement to ask the five elder thief leaders who were about to retire for some benefits, and it wouldn't be a problem.

With these thoughts in mind, Thief Number Ten controlled his speed, trying not to let them get too far away from him, and led a group of innate realm thief ranking experts and a group of acquired realm elite underlings, heading towards the mountainside.

At this time, the commotion below had already spread from the foot of the mountain and the mountain road to the mountainside.

Dongliu Mountain had never been as lively as it was tonight.

Under the blood-red corner of the full moon, Fang Yue's two-meter-long black blade was like a precise butcher's knife, killing every night thief who charged up.

Fang Yue felt no psychological burden when killing night thieves, who weren't even considered people.

Because he had experienced the Deyun Village incident and had seen firsthand what kind of people night thieves were, he understood even more that every night thief he killed now was saving more innocent people!

"Saving the world by killing, saving people by killing, I'm not killing people, I'm a living Bodhisattva saving the world!"

Fang Yue felt like he was emitting Buddha light all over his body. With this efficiency, he should have every commoner in [Chu Nuan City] kowtow to him when he got back, right?

What the government can't handle, I'll handle.

The people the government can't kill, I'll kill.

The thieves the government can't destroy, I'll destroy!

Night Thief Bane, officially debuting!
