Xie Yang didn't move a single step away from his spot. Lord Bo reached close to him and thrust his nail towards his chest. He didn't blink an eye, almost as if he wasn't the one whose life was under threat. Just as it looked like Lord Bo's black nails would pierce into his chest and shatter his heart, Leader Ye flicked his right sleeve, and out of it, came out several small, sharp swords made out of spiritual energy, and they collided directly with Lord Bo's nails. They shattered his nails and tilted his hand away from Xie Yang.
"Die!"
Although he had failed to land a killing blow on Xie Yang, who in his eyes was petrified with fear and survived only because of the timely intervention of the stern-faced man that was standing two steps away from them, he swiped his other claw-like hand at Xie Yang, hoping to shred him into pieces.
Seeing him attacking his young master once again, Leader Ye moved his hand in a swirling motion, and a gust of spiritual energy appeared out of nowhere between Lord Bo and Xie Yang. It pushed Lord Bo backward and pulled Xie Yang behind him.
Leader Ye's eyebrow raised slightly, and he spoke in a voice full of cruelty, "You still dare to continue attacking him in my presence? What do you take me for, a piece of decoration?"
Just as Lord Bo raised his head to glare at them, a thick cloud of redness surged of Leader Ye and pressed down on him. It was Leader Ye's undisguised and unbridled killing intent that he had cultivated in the battlefield while fighting side by side with his master, City Lord Xie Yong. Merchant Jin didn't dare stay here any longer and silently made a run for it. To give a physical form to one's killing intent, a human needs to be worse than a monster. They needed to be vicious, vicious to themselves and their enemies, and he didn't have any guts to fight such types of ruthless cultivators.
Lord Bo felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his back, and under such extreme pressure, his bones trembled violently, threatening to crack. His killing intent almost forced him onto his knees. He refused to kneel to a human being, however, as he considered humans no more than his playthings and cultivation resources. As he forced himself to stay upright, his feet pressed down on the ground, which shattered under the immense weight, and the cracks spread outwards, reaching the feet of the bandits, who stepped aside in fear and awe.
"What are you all dawdling there for, waiting for me to die? Get these two damned bastards, or they will get us!" Lord Bo screamed like a banshee at the bandits in the main hall.
Leader Ye and Xie Yang were blocking the only exit. The bandits had no choice but to attack them. Still, they were afraid of Leader Ye's might and didn't dare make a move. They saw that their leader was no longer with them and realized that he had long run away. They decided not to fight him and willingly lowered their weapons.
"We surrender."
"Please spare us."
"Pathetic."
Leader Ye chuckled at their cowardice.
"Young master, how should I deal with them?"
Xie Yang, with his held high as he was the only immortal in the four realms, replied, "Leader Ye, kill these vile, evil, and disgusting creatures for me! Don't leave a single one alive!"
Usually, if bandits were willing to surrender to him, Xie Yang would've taken them to the authorities and let them punish them.
But these bandits betrayed humanity, shook hands with an evil spirit, forced themselves on humans, treated mortals like ants.
They didn't deserve to live a single second more in this world, nor did he want them to waste the oxygen produced by the many trees in the world.
"Yes, young master."
Leader Ye looked at the bandits as the thickness of his killing intent tripled, and it spread outwards in the shape of a red mist that not only turned most of the main hall red but also put pressure on all the bandits.
They felt as if they would die soon!
"Fuck it! If I am going to die, I am going to go down fighting!"
"However strong he is, can he really face us all at the same time and survive? I don't believe it!"
"Won't you know if you give it a try?"
Xie Yang taunted from the side.
"Attack him!"
His words worked well in urging them to attack his cold-faced stepbrother.
The bandits moved ahead as one and attacked Leader Ye from all sides. Dozens of arrows fired arrows towards him as many bandits brandished and hurled their swords, daggers, and bandits at him.
"Hmph!"
Leader Ye snorted in disdain and stomped his foot on the ground.
Bomb!
Something so shocking happened that the entire heaven and earth flipped upside down!
