Chapter 27

"Roar..."

While running wildly, Huang Yu could still hear many roars.

Countless terrifying mystic beasts emerged from the Black Rock Cave.

Under the protection of the Long-Armed Stone Ape, no mystic beast or wild beast dared to challenge Huang Yu.

After all, the Long-Armed Stone Ape's aura was too terrifying, and the aura of the Soul Realm made these first and second-stage mystic beasts dare not approach.

However, during the wild run, Huang Yu also discovered many terrifying third-stage mystic beasts, including a white tiger with slanted eyes. This beast was not afraid of the Long-Armed Stone Ape, acting arrogantly and fearlessly, wandering in the middle of the road without any worry.

Huang Yu did not want to tangle with this guy, so he did not provoke it but passed by from the side.

"Whoosh..."

After a life-and-death escape, he finally left the Black Rock Cave and arrived at the edge of the forest at the entrance.

To Huang Yu's surprise, the fox-leopard was still wandering outside.

This beast still wanted revenge, but it had no chance. It had not gained any advantage before, and now with the Long-Armed Stone Ape protecting him, this guy was simply courting death.

The fox-leopard also noticed the Long-Armed Stone Ape beside Huang Yu, paused, and hurriedly ran away.

But Huang Yu would not let it go. Since it dared to come and cause trouble, it should be prepared to die.

"Long-Armed Stone Ape, kill it." Huang Yu pointed with his hand.

"Roar..."

The Long-Armed Stone Ape roared, took a step forward, and rushed toward the fox-leopard.

Although the fox-leopard was fast, it was not even a mystic beast, while the Long-Armed Stone Ape was a third-stage mystic beast, with strength comparable to the Soul Realm, terrifyingly powerful. In a few breaths, it caught up with the fox-leopard.

After being blocked, the fox-leopard, which was not lacking in intelligence, realized it could not escape and immediately whined, lying on the ground to beg for mercy. However, the Long-Armed Stone Ape had no compassion, being an energy body released by the Primordial Spirit Talisman. It showed no mercy to the fox-leopard's whining and slapped it down.

With a crack, the fox-leopard's head was instantly smashed, blood splattering everywhere.

"System: Congratulations, player has killed a level 26 fox-leopard, gaining 260 experience points and 260 life energy."

"System: Congratulations, player has obtained a lower-grade human-level movement technique, 'Wind Chasing Step.'"

"System: Congratulations, player has completed the mission 'Explore the Black Rock Cave,' gaining a bottle of healing pills."

The mission was completed, and the rewards were substantial, a huge profit.

Not to mention the Primordial Spirit Talisman, just the spirit stones alone, he gained thirty, all of which were medium-grade spirit stones. The gold and jewels were countless.

After killing the fox-leopard, Huang Yu rode the Long-Armed Stone Ape and quickly headed toward Willow Grove Town.

At this moment, Huang Yu had a very bad feeling; something had happened to the Huang family.

Therefore, he was extremely anxious.

In less than an hour, with the Long-Armed Stone Ape's wild run, they arrived at Willow Grove Town. The Long-Armed Stone Ape's time limit was up just outside the town gate.

Stepping into Willow Grove Town, Huang Yu hurriedly rushed toward the Huang family residence. The direction of the Huang family was brightly lit, clearly indicating a major incident.

"I hope Auntie and Old Huang are safe." Huang Yu wished he could run faster.

A few minutes later, Huang Yu finally reached the outside of the Huang family courtyard. The entire Huang family was surrounded, and a pungent smell of blood could be detected from a distance.

"Damn it." Huang Yu's face changed drastically.

"Who are you? Stop right there. Don't you know the Su family is handling business? Leave quickly." Huang Yu was stopped by the Su family guards before he could get close to the Huang family.

"Die." Huang Yu, enraged, instantly threw a fruit knife, using the Flying Knife Technique. A flash of the blade, and the guard had a bloody gash on his forehead.

"System: Congratulations, player has killed a level 12 Su family guard, gaining 120 experience points."

"Kill him, he's from the Huang family." Seeing their companion dead, the other guards immediately surrounded him.

Huang Yu did not have time to tangle with these minor characters. He released his innate martial artist aura, exerted force with his feet, and instantly leaped over them, reaching the Huang family gate.

With a powerful punch, he knocked down a Su family guard who was fighting Zheng Zhong, then rushed to the gate. At this moment, Huang Dashan was struggling hard, with several wounds on his body. The courtyard was already littered with bodies, most of which were from the Huang family.

Not far away, one of them was Su Tianhong of the Su family.

"Master, run quickly." Seeing Huang Yu, Huang Dashan immediately shouted.

"Want to run? Hmph, it's too late. Cousin Huang Yu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You didn't expect this, did you?" Su Tianhong smiled, waving his hand. The black-clothed guards beside him leaped forward, quickly surrounding Huang Yu.

These guards were not ordinary guards; they were the Su family's trump card. They wore black clothes with a fierce black tiger embroidered on them, known as the Black Tiger Guards.

Like the Su family, the Huang family also had a trump card, the Yellow Heaven Guard. However, the original thirty members of the Yellow Heaven Guard were now reduced to just five, all of whom were seriously injured.

"No need, Old Huang, take this pill and rest. Since the Su family dared to attack us, they are doomed." Huang Yu took out a healing pill, gave one to Huang Dashan, and then coldly looked at Su Tianhong. This Su Tianhong was indeed a formidable opponent. He thought Su Tianhong would not make a move until tomorrow, but unexpectedly, he attacked the Huang family at this moment. If he had been any slower, he would have regretted it.

"Cousin Huang Yu, I advise you to surrender and submit to avoid unnecessary suffering." Looking at Huang Yu, Su Tianhong was particularly pleased. In the past few days, he had been suppressed by the Jade Alliance, feeling very frustrated. Today, he could finally feel relieved.

"Su Tianhong, you're dreaming. Do you think you've won?" Huang Yu looked at Su Tianhong coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Ha ha, what a joke. Cousin Huang Yu, do you think you still have a chance to turn the tide? The Jade Alliance is busy with the General's Tomb. How could they care about you? Besides, even without the General's Tomb, do you think the Jade Alliance would oppose the Su family for a mere Huang family?" Su Tianhong smiled smugly, "Let me tell you, Cousin Huang Yu, my son, Su Guang, has joined the Central Yuan Sword Sect and become an inner disciple. Would the Jade Alliance dare to offend the Central Yuan Sword Sect for your sake?"

"Hmph, I don't need any help to deal with you. I can handle it alone." Huang Yu looked at Su Tianhong, speaking casually.

Where did he get such confidence? Su Tianhong was puzzled by Huang Yu's calm demeanor.

No, no, he's stalling for time. Suddenly, Su Tianhong noticed Huang Dashan's aura rising. Su Tianhong's face changed. Despite his severe injuries, Huang Dashan was still so powerful, killing several late-stage innate martial artists and resisting their attacks. If not for Huang Dashan, the Huang family courtyard would have been breached long ago. Huang Dashan had clearly broken through to the late-stage innate realm and reached the Soul Pill Realm. If not, Huang Yu would have been killed in the assassination earlier.

Huang Yu's calmness clearly indicated that he had given Huang Dashan some powerful medicine, stalling for time to allow Huang Dashan to absorb the medicine's power. Realizing this, Su Tianhong shouted, "Go, kill Huang Dashan."

"You're courting death." Huang Yu coldly snorted, took out the Primordial Spirit Talisman, and infused it with true qi. The massive body of the Long-Armed Stone Ape appeared, smashing a fist into the ground, causing several cracks to appear. "Long-Armed Stone Ape, kill them all, not a single one left."

"Roar..."

The Long-Armed Stone Ape, receiving Huang Yu's order, roared and moved toward the Black Tiger Guards. Its terrifying aura made them struggle to breathe. Despite their innate mid-stage and even late-stage cultivation, they were no match for the Long-Armed Stone Ape, the gap being too great.

In a few breaths, the ten or so Black Tiger Guards became the Long-Armed Stone Ape's victims.

"How could this be?" Su Tianhong was shocked, his face pale. He never expected Huang Yu to have such a trump card. The Long-Armed Stone Ape was so terrifying that it killed a dozen Black Tiger Guards in a few breaths. He could not believe it, muttering, "Impossible, impossible, this must be a hallucination, I must be seeing things."

The remaining Black Tiger Guards were intimidated and kept retreating. However, the Long-Armed Stone Ape, following Huang Yu's order, did not stop. After killing a dozen Black Tiger Guards, it slowly moved toward Su Tianhong, the Black Tiger Guards continuing to retreat.

"Lord, retreat, we must retreat. This is a Long-Armed Stone Ape, a third-stage mystic beast, with strength comparable to the Soul Realm. We are no match for it." A Black Tiger Guard shouted, protecting Su Tianhong.

"Hmph." Su Tianhong, hearing the shout, regained his senses. He was unwilling, realizing that the Su family's resources had been greatly depleted. His face was dark, looking at the Long-Armed Stone Ape approaching step by step without fear, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Su Tianhong, you didn't expect me to have such a trump card, did you?" Huang Yu looked at Su Tianhong, surprised by his calmness. Was this old man scared speechless?

"Indeed, it was unexpected. You killed so many of my Black Tiger Guards, and you will pay the price. So what if it's a Long-Armed Stone Ape?" Su Tianhong looked at Huang Yu coldly, clapped his hands, and said, "Bring out the hostage."

Then, a Black Tiger Guard came out from behind Su Tianhong, holding someone. Huang Yu was shocked when he saw who it was—it was Zhao Wan'er.

"Auntie, are you... are you okay? Su Tianhong, release my aunt, or I will destroy your entire family, exterminate your clan."
