Chapter 20

In the next moment, Yi Tian and the others felt an overwhelming killing intent rush towards them.

The disheveled figure's eyes glinted with a cruel coldness, as if he were looking at four people without the slightest ripple of emotion, and he walked towards Yi Tian and the others step by step.

"I never thought I, the Human Calamity, would be so unlucky. There was actually an expert in that caravan, and I almost got killed. Fortunately, I had a means to save my life; otherwise, I would have been done for this time."

The figure muttered to himself as he approached Yi Tian and the others.

At this moment, they finally saw the figure's face clearly. He was around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, with a thin, yellowish face and sharp, piercing eyes. His figure was somewhat slender.

However, Yi Tian, Yi Feng, and the others all sensed a fatal danger from him.

"Are you the Human Calamity of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities?"

Yi Tian couldn't help but ask solemnly.

"Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities!"

Upon hearing Yi Tian's words, Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li were all shocked.

If the person in front of them was indeed the Human Calamity of the notorious Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities around Black Dragon City, then they were in grave danger.

In the vast land around Black Dragon City, apart from the raiding groups, there were also some powerful martial artists who specialized in ambushing other martial artists or caravans, plundering resources, and committing countless killings. Therefore, these martial artists were all wanted by Black Dragon City and the surrounding major forces.

Among them, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities were a very famous gang of martial artists.

The Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities were very powerful. Small and medium-sized teams that encountered them almost never survived. Any team that encountered the Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities was completely wiped out, with no survivors left. They were extremely cruel.

Among the Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities, the Heaven Calamity was the strongest, with a Ninth Rank cultivation. The Earth Calamity was an Eighth Rank martial artist, and the Human Calamity had only Seventh Rank strength.

The three of them had established a notorious reputation around Black Dragon City, making them very difficult and dangerous to provoke. They were known as the Heaven, Earth, and Human Calamities, causing endless harm.

"Exactly!"

The Human Calamity finally looked at Yi Tian and the others and said, "Since you know my identity, you should have guessed the outcome. No one who encounters me, the Human Calamity, has ever survived. Today, I almost got killed, so you can be the ones I vent my anger on."

The Human Calamity regarded Yi Tian and the others as caged birds. In his view, Yi Tian and the others were only First or Second Rank martial artists, too young. He could easily kill them with one move.

He wanted to toy with Yi Tian and the others, making them fear and despair. Only then could he vent his satisfaction.

Yi Tian and the others put down their prey and immediately took off their bows, drawing arrows.

"You are the young people of the Yi Tribe, right? The Yi Tribe has some achievements in archery, but you are far too weak."

The Human Calamity immediately understood their identity when he saw their bows and arrows, but he didn't take them seriously.

"Die!"

At this moment, Yi Feng shot the first arrow.

The arrow was like a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing in front of the Human Calamity and about to pierce his chest.

"Clang!"

Like a flash of lightning, the Human Calamity's short sword deflected Yi Feng's arrow, causing no harm to him.

"Your arrows are too slow!"

The Human Calamity looked at Yi Tian and the others with a playful expression, as if he were looking at prey, pondering how to make his move.

In the next moment, Yi Shan and Yi Li's arrows were released.

Clang! Clang!

Two iron arrows were cut by the Human Calamity's short sword, the cuts smooth, clearly showing the sword's sharpness.

Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li continuously shot arrows, but the Human Calamity's short sword seemed to form a wall, blocking and cutting all the arrows.

Yi Tian's arrow pointed at the Human Calamity, who was effortlessly blocking Yi Feng and the others' arrows.

The armor-piercing arrow was already on the string.

The fiery true qi in his body was already boiling, fully activated. He began to use the Ninth Level of the Stacking Waves Secret Technique, layer by layer, increasing his strength unprecedentedly.

In an instant, the Blood Pattern Bow was drawn to a full moon.

"Go!"

In a moment, Yi Tian's most powerful arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning, causing a loud boom. In an instant, it appeared in front of the Human Calamity, the terrifying killing intent making the Human Calamity greatly alarmed.

The arrow was too fast.

However, the Human Calamity was a Seventh Rank peak martial artist, with strong power and combat ability. At the last moment, his short sword appeared in front of the arrow.

But this hasty defense could not unleash even a third of his true strength.

Bang!

The armor-piercing arrow, carrying immense force, struck the short sword, almost making it fly out of the Human Calamity's hand. The remaining momentum changed the arrow's direction slightly, but it still pierced through the Human Calamity's right chest, leaving a trail of blood.

Spit...

A mouthful of hot blood spurted out.

The Human Calamity was incredulous; he had been severely injured by a low-rank martial artist.

"Kill!"

Taking advantage of his weakened state, this was the best opportunity to kill the Human Calamity.

Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and the others shot arrows, covering the Human Calamity's entire body.

The severely injured Human Calamity swung his short sword, continuously blocking.

However, each time he blocked Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li's arrows, his wounds would reopen, and blood would gush out.

Their First Rank cultivation, combined with the Fourth Level of the Stacking Waves Secret Technique, gave them an attack power comparable to a Third Rank martial artist. Normally, the Human Calamity wouldn't have taken them seriously.

Now, with his severe injuries, each defense only worsened his condition.

Yi Tian was also not in good shape.

After using the Ninth Level of the Stacking Waves Secret Technique, the true qi in his dantian was completely depleted, and he felt a wave of weakness.

At this moment, Yi Tian remembered something. With a thought, the star mud clone on his wrist suddenly released a large amount of pure essence energy. His cultivation technique went into overdrive, and the true qi in his dantian began to rapidly replenish.

It really works.

It was just a fleeting thought, but it actually succeeded.

This way, he could always replenish his true qi, eliminating the risk of depletion.

Yi Tian felt the true qi in his dantian rapidly grow, and at the same time, he paid attention to the battle. The Human Calamity was severely injured and would die unless he had precious healing elixirs.

Knowing he was doomed, the Human Calamity's killing intent towards Yi Tian and the others reached its peak.

Even if he died, he would take them with him.

Suddenly, the Human Calamity's body was covered in bulging veins, his skin turning bright red. In an instant, he felt his injuries completely healed, and his strength was at its peak. He had reversed his true qi, unleashing his life's potential.

"Bad!"

Yi Tian, who had been paying attention to the Human Calamity, was startled. The Human Calamity was going all out.

Yi Tian immediately had the star mud clone increase its support, and a massive amount of essence energy flooded his dantian, causing the pressure in his dantian space to surge. He instantly used the Ninth Level of the Stacking Waves Secret Technique again.

Boom!

A thunderous boom, this arrow was even more terrifying.

The Human Calamity, charging forward, was too close to react in time. The arrow instantly pierced his head.

Thud!

The Human Calamity fell to the ground, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. The notorious Human Calamity had been defeated by an unknown youth.

After shooting this arrow, Yi Tian's body was even weaker.

Especially with the massive influx of essence energy, his body suffered considerable damage.

Yi Feng and the others also sat on the ground, panting heavily.

At this moment, their true qi was almost depleted, and they had no strength left to fight.

This battle was unprecedentedly dangerous, with life and death hanging by a thread. The slightest mistake would have cost them their lives.

Yi Tian and the others stayed where they were to recover.

Fortunately, they were at the edge of the Dragon Subduing Mountains, a place rarely visited by people and free from wild beasts, so they were temporarily safe.

When Yi Tian and the others had recovered to a large extent, they decided to return immediately, as it was getting late.

However, before leaving, Yi Tian searched the Human Calamity's body. Soon, he found a bag of gold coins, a cultivation technique, and a map.

Yi Tian didn't have time to think much and also picked up the short sword from the Human Calamity's hand. The four of them finally returned to the tribe before nightfall.
