Chapter 1004: Chapter 1001: Total Annihilation
Xu Xingzhou was drenched in sweat.
The death threat coupled with his inability to protect Yang Wen and Yang Hao caused his mental state to verge on collapse.
Xu Mao felt the same.
Yet, the uncle and nephew duo did not back down.
They knew that even if they retreated, escape was not guaranteed. The best hope now was to hold on a little longer, especially since they had other poisons on them that might still give them a fighting chance.
Xu Mao shouted, "Run!"
Although he knew this was mostly useless—with the martial arts skills of these outlaws, ordinary people could not escape—he understood that he and his uncle could not hold off these bandits, and could only let these people run while they bought some time.
"Hmph, listen up everyone, these people are relatives of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang. If even one of them escapes, none of us will have a good life. So now we only need to kill them all!" the outlaw leader roared viciously.
The other outlaws, seeing they had the upper hand, howled excitedly.
At this moment, they didn’t care who Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were.
The emperor is far away, so what if they’re relatives of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang?
Once they’ve had enough fun and killed them all, who would know it was them?
A few men directly bypassed Xu Xingzhou and Xu Mao, rushing towards Yang Wen.
Yang Wen and Xia Bingqing stood together, the two young women vibrant and beautiful, their figures too tempting.
Zhu Wenjie knew he was no match, but he didn’t back down, gritting his teeth as he stood in front of the two women, shouting to Yang Hao, "Get them out of here!"
Seeing the fierce enemies, and sensing that they couldn’t hold them off, Yang Hao realized the urgency and dared not linger, grabbing his sister and wife to flee.
Xia Bingqing followed behind with a pale face.
However, they hadn’t run more than a few meters before other outlaws blocked their way.
One of them looked lecherously and chuckled, "Little beauties, why run? Your men are ordinary folks, powerless, but we’re inner strength experts. We promise to let you feel like immortals."
Yang Wen, Xia Bingqing, and Huang Qiaoqiao, along with the other Mo family women, were deeply humiliated and angry but dared not speak out.
"I want this one," an outlaw said, reaching for Yang Wen’s shoulder.
Yang Wen screamed, her face turning bloodless with fear.
Just as that hand was about to grab her shoulder, a splash of bright red blood appeared before her eyes.
Moments later, a few warm droplets splattered onto her face, hot and scorching.
She was horrified to see that the hand about to touch her shoulder was bizarrely severed at the shoulder joint with a clean cut.
"Ah!"
A painful scream erupted from the outlaw’s mouth.
In the next moment, Yang Wen was terrified to see the man’s head also detach from his neck.
While still screaming in agony, his head slid off his neck and rolled several meters on the ground.
"Ah!"
Yang Wen shrieked and immediately threw up.
Beside her, Xia Bingqing and Huang Qiaoqiao were also shocked and dumbfounded, never having seen such a blood-drenched scene; they also retched violently.
The outlaws surrounding Yang Wen were equally astounded.
Seeing their partner’s arm and head suddenly and inexplicably severed, they looked panicked and bewildered, looking around frantically for an explanation.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
Suddenly, the clear sounds of flesh being sliced echoed through the air.
"Ah!"
"It’s a ghost!"
Instantly, two outlaws who had encircled Yang Wen screamed in terror and sprinted away crazily.
The other three stood in place, and then one by one their heads slipped off their necks and dropped to the ground.
The scene was incredibly eerie!
No one knew what had happened.
Whether the outlaws or Yang Hao, Yang Wen, Zhu Wenjie, and the Mo family members, they were all petrified, not knowing what had occurred.
"How dare you disturb my family, you all deserve to die!"
A cold, furious voice suddenly descended from the sky.
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Hao, Yang Wen, and Huang Qiaoqiao felt a profound sense of security unlike anything they had ever experienced.
Yang Wen, with her face pale from vomiting, now showed a hint of a flushed excitement: "Big brother!"
Xu Xingzhou, Xu Mao, Zhang Long, and Zhu Wenjie also recognized Yang Fei’s voice, feeling overwhelming joy.
Indeed, there’s a way through tragic situations; they hadn’t expected Yang Fei to return at such a critical moment.
"Run!"
The outlaw leader had never seen Yang Fei nor recognized his voice, but seeing the terrifying scene and hearing Yang Hao and Yang Wen shout "big brother," he immediately realized who had arrived.
Moreover, the opposing figure had not shown themselves but had already killed four of their men from afar, the voice drilled into everyone’s soul like it had magic, causing a chill to run down their spine—he knew a supremely strong enemy had arrived.
"Can you run?"
The icy voice descended from above, drilling into the outlaw leader’s soul.
Just as he turned to flee, an invisible pressure from the void forced him to his knees with a thud.
The outlaw was horrified, desperately pleading, "Great master, please hear my expl—"
"Puff!"
Before he finished his words, he spat a mouthful of blood.
Simultaneously, it was as if a massive invisible hand pressed down on his body, slamming him to the ground with a thud.
His internal organs shattered.
In the next instant, his body burst into a mass of blood and flesh.
An Energy Transformation Eighth Rank martial artist’s robust muscles, bones, and skin could not withstand the unexplainable pressure from the void and exploded.
In the sky, a sharp sound of breaking air rang out.
Everyone looked up to see a figure crossing the void like a deity, appearing over the Mo family’s courtyard with incredible speed.
"Brother!"
Yang Wen and Yang Hao exclaimed in unison, delighted.
Yang Fei descended from the sky, landing beside his brother and sister. His icy gaze softened into one of warmth and affection, "I’m sorry for being a bit late and scaring you."
Then he turned to the already petrified outlaws, his eyes blazed with anger, a murderous aura filled the air, "A world-ending disaster befalls, and yet the descendants of Yanhuang on the Great Divine Continent indulge in such senseless slaughter. You are not even fit to be called human. It is a disgrace to be of the same Yanhuang Clan as you."
As he finished speaking, he extended his right hand and pressed down from afar.
The high-altitude wind raged, and a massive palm imprint, visibly descending from the sky, slammed towards the outlaws.
"Puff..."
"Puff, puff, puff..."
Blood and flesh splattered into the void, yet an unseen force contained it within that area.
The remaining outlaws’ bodies were crushed into masses of blood and flesh.
Such horrific means left Xu Xingzhou, Xu Mao, Zhang Long, Zhu Wenjie, and the Mo family martial artists stunned and speechless.
They knew strong martial artists existed in the world, and that with the recent spiritual energy resurgence, martial cultivation had become easier, making everyone stronger. But Yang Fei’s display today was truly beyond belief, akin to immortal powers.
Xia Bingqing stared dazedly at the handsome man who had descended and saved everyone, there was a touch of obsession in her eyes.
She couldn’t help but recall how Yang Wen wanted to introduce her to Yang Fei as a girlfriend.
Unfortunately, back then, she thought Yang Wen’s family was too poor, that even if Yang Fei made some money, he was still just a commoner, so she didn’t think much of him.
But now, he was a towering figure, unattainable and beyond dreams.
