Chapter 370: Tiger Gang
Ye Xiao didn"t want to waste time so he simply took out his Sea Dragon Spear and attacked the Black Gold Tiger that was pouncing towards his group of people.
"Puchi!"
"Bang!"
Ye Xiao only needed one strike to pierce his spear un the body of the Black Gold Tiger before taking its life. The Black Gold Tiger fell down on the ground with a "thud" sound.
There was also another reason why Ye Xiao attacked the Black Gold Tiger. He wanted to test his newly gained strength. But from the looks of it, he needs to find a target at least at the Immortal King Realm before he could test out his strength seriously.
The target below the Immortal King Realm would definitely end up like the Black Gold Tiger, dead with a single strike.
After killing the Black Gold Tiger, all of them continued their way.
.....
Dongfang Shang and the rest had clearly come prepared as they had the extremely detailed map of the Sunfire Mountain Range in their hands. Therefore, they did not need to search for the location of the ruin.
As the group rapidly advanced, the expressions of Dongfang Shang and the others became solemn and alert.
They had already reached the depths of the Sunfire Mountain Range where strong Immortal Beasts roamed about. No matter what, they have to pay more attention to their surroundings as they have to be careful not only from the Immortal Beasts but also from the people who were also going to the ruin.
Ye Xiao"s expression was calm and collected but the Divine Sense was spread out and looked around.
"There"s the smell of blood?"
Ye Xiao frowned slightly. The smell of blood was too strong. Something extraordinary had happened just now.
"You, go ahead and investigate." Dongfang Shang"s eyes narrowed as he pointed at a guard who was standing behind him and ordered.
"Swish."
That guard quickly rushed forward. If one did not carefully check, one would not even be able to detect his aura.
Ye Xiao could not help but sigh. There were indeed a lot of talented people within this City Lord"s Mansion. Such an exquisite concealment technique, even in the large sects, there were not many. If such a person became an a.s.sa.s.sin and hid in the shadows, even a martial artist at the Martial King Realm would not be able to escape his pursuit.
After a while, the guard who went to scout the area ahead, came back and said to Dongfang Shang, "Sir, there is a group of about 40 people in front of us. There are some corpses of Immortal Beasts on the ground. Those people should have hunted down those beasts, sir."
"Yes." Dongfang Shang nodded. "Continue."
There was no small number of forces that entered the Sunfire Mountain Range. The people here all came for the newly discovered ruin. With so many people entering, the Immortal Beast in the entire Sunfire Mountain Range would definitely go berserk.
Seeing that Dongfang Shang did not intend to take a detour, that guard did not say anything and silently went to keep standing. As the elite of City Lord"s Mansion, when had they ever been afraid of others?
Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the lush tree-lined area in front of him. Not far away, he could feel the presence of quite a few auras and even sensed an extremely powerful aura from there. That aura had already reached the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. Such a figure also possessed quite a bit of status within the large sects.
While Ye Xiao was secretly sighing, the group had already pa.s.sed through the trees. After which, dozens of figures appeared in the empty s.p.a.ce in front of them.
"Heh, I never would have thought that more people would come to die." Among the dozens of figures, a skinny young man looked at Ye Xiao"s group and grinned. There was a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth, as well as a hint of bloodl.u.s.t.
"Big brother, should we make a move?"
A middle-aged man in a black robe asked a man beside him with a blood-red blade. There were only a few dozen people on the opposite side. Although they had a very aggressive aura, there were 40 people on the other side. Those people were completely capable enough to kill Ye Xiao"s group.
The atmosphere had become much tenser in an instant.
Ye Xiao"s gaze swept across the crowd and paused on a man in the middle. The man had a st.u.r.dy figure and his arms were bare. Numerous vicious scars covered his entire arm, causing him to look like a Fiendish Person.
Ye Xiao squinted his eyes slightly. These people were staring at them with malicious intent.
"I never thought that it would be the guys from Tiger Gang." Dongfang Shang frowned slightly.
Tiger Gang was actually a clan of Mo City called the Laohu Clan and was also one of the three great powers of Mo City. Although their strength was slightly inferior to the Bai Family, they were definitely stronger than the Mo and Mu families. Especially this Tiger Gang, they were all a group of fierce people and were gradually growing stronger by relying on annexing those small sects and clans. They were all a group of extremely vicious people.
"Brat and you all, give me your Storage Ring, I can consider letting you all go." Laohu Qiong smiled sinisterly and said while looking at Ye Xiao and others.
"This place is not your Mo City, isn"t it too overbearing for your Tiger Gang to do this?" Dongfang Shang stepped forward and stared at Laohu Qiong indifferently.
Laohu Qiong was stunned, he did not expect anyone to recognize him. Then, he grinned and said: "Since you know about Tiger Gang, you should understand the style of our Tiger Gang. It was already a good thing for all of you that I told you to hand over your things and I"ll let you all go. Now, I am going to kill you all."
"Kill them all."
Just as Laohu Qiong spoke, a young man from the Tiger Gang jumped out, brandishing his long blade and charged at Ye Xiao. "Kid, we are all shouting for you to leave your things behind, haven"t you heard?"
He swung his long and thin sword and sliced at Ye Xiao"s arm.
A hint of coldness flashed across Ye Xiao"s eyes. If he was. .h.i.t by this sword, his arm would really have been cut off. With a "keng" sound, the Sea Dragon Spear appeared in his head as he swung the spear towards the young man without any trace of politeness.
"Deng!"
With this collision, Ye Xiao"s opponent"s long sword broke in half but the force from the collision didn"t diminish as it continued to thrust at the youth.
The youth"s expression changed greatly and he quickly stopped moving while retreating quickly. However, although his speed was fast, it was not as fast as the spear in Ye Xiao"s hand. A silver sword light flashed past, followed by a pillar of blood that shot into the sky. The youth from the Tiger Gang was instantly killed.
This exchange instantly broke the atmosphere. Both parties immediately unsheathed their swords and sabers as Spiritual Energy fluctuations gushed out in succession across the empty ground.
"Brat, you have guts. You actually dared to kill my Tiger Gang"s people."
The middle-aged man in a black robe behind Laohu Qiong stared at Ye Xiao viciously and spoke.
"Oh, you are saying that we are supposed to wait for you all to kill us?" Ye Xiao said mockingly while looking at the angry expression of the middle-aged man.
That middle-aged man waved his hand and another person pounced at Ye Xiao to attack.
Seeing that the Tiger Gang had made another move, Ye Xiao again abruptly took a step forward and the imposing aura surged out without restraint from his body.
This powerful aura also caused the fierce aura on the faces of Tiger Gang"s people to become dull. Although they were unbridled in their actions, they also had to see just how strong their opponents were.
"Stop." Laohu Qiong immediately roared and stopped the fight that was about to happen again. He was alerted after he felt the aura of Ye Xiao. Although Ye Xiao"s cultivation base was known to them because of his aura, Laohu Qiong still felt that Ye Xiao was not normal because his powerful aura was something that was impossible for a normal Early Stage Immortal Lord Realm to possess.
"Sir, we were a little rash, please forgive us." Laohu Qiong cupped his hands towards Dongfang Shang with a fake smile and said.
"Let"s go."
Dongfang Shang didn"t intend to chat with Laohu Qiong. He glanced at him indifferently and then led the group to continue walking forward.
As Ye Xiao"s group gradually disappeared into the forest, the tense atmosphere gradually faded away.
