Chapter 25

The third leader suddenly felt a warning in his heart and let go of Luo Xiu, turning around abruptly!

Bu Ye!

"It's you again!"

The third leader raised his halberd and charged at Bu Ye, who was still more than ten meters away.

At the same time, Bu Ye was silently reciting the last incantation Du Sanhui had taught him.

The incantation Du Sanhui gave was short, but it had one advantage: it was easier to learn! The true third constellation's incantations would take ten times more effort to learn in a short time, but Du Sanhui's incantation, which was less than ten sentences, could be mastered in one go once the feeling was found!

"Left lung star soldier extreme to right kidney star pivot extreme!"

Accurate!

"Advance and bridge!"

Success!

Four stars connected!

At this moment, Bu Ye's body experienced its first true four-star constellation!

A light and never-before-felt power suddenly surged from the four connected stars, instantly spreading throughout his body!

At that moment, Bu Ye felt as light as the wind and as swift as lightning!

At the same moment, the third leader's halberd stabbed at him again!

Under the influence of that light power, Bu Ye did not stop his steps and suddenly swung his saber while running!

"Clang!!"

The power was still great, but the speed was more than forty percent faster!

Before the third leader could fully exert his strength, Bu Ye slashed at the tip of the halberd, directly deflecting the long halberd!

In the past, after a collision, Bu Ye would need about a tenth of a second to adjust his stance to exert force again. But this time, it didn't happen! Or rather, even if he did make adjustments, the time was so short it could be ignored!

Thus, when the third leader's halberd had already deflected to the left, Bu Ye was still running forward, with his right arm and curved saber maintaining the slashing posture.

One step!

Just one step, and Bu Ye was in front of the third leader!

Bu Ye's speed, which defied common sense, completely stunned the third leader, whose mind was frozen and couldn't react.

How can someone attack continuously without any interruption?

In the next moment, Bu Ye swung his saber with his left hand, the blade directly aiming at the third leader's neck! The speed was as fast as the first slash, completely surpassing the speed of an Eighth Heart Cloud level!

And the third leader was also only at the Eighth Heart Cloud level!

"Swish!"

The blade flashed, and the third leader's head flew into the air.

Before his consciousness faded, the third leader finally noticed the abnormality in Bu Ye's body.

Eighth Heart Cloud, why are four stars shining abnormally? It's like a true constellation...

No matter what, it's so unfair!

Bu Ye didn't even look at the flying head of the third leader, pushing away the headless corpse and taking two more steps before stopping.

In the next moment, Bu Ye felt a strong wind blow through his body, instantly dispersing the light power from the third constellation, and the four originally connected blood stars returned to their original state.

The incantation was only a few sentences, so it could only last for a short time, and the improvement in speed and agility was far inferior to a complete third constellation.

If only it were complete...

In an instant, Bu Ye was filled with anticipation for the constellation incantation.

"Uncle Bu!" A voice, both happy and aggrieved, woke Bu Ye, and then he saw Xiaomao, tears streaming down his face, rushing towards him.

Seeing Xiaomao's tearful eyes, Bu Ye's heart softened, and he smiled warmly, squatting down and picking up Xiaomao with one hand.

"Sheng'er, be good, it's over." Bu Ye comforted Xiaomao.

"Sniff..." Xiaomao only knew how to cry, having been truly frightened.

At this moment, while Xiaomao clung to his shoulder and cried, Bu Ye couldn't help but glare coldly at Luo Xiu, who was not far away.

He understood why Sheng'er came to him. But he believed Luo Xiu should have understood his meaning, that he no longer wanted any connection with her or Dongmang Village. However, when Sheng'er rushed over, Luo Xiu did not stop him.

This woman, who clung to him, was truly troublesome!

Luo Xiu tried to pretend she didn't know, but in an instant, she lowered her head. She once again felt Bu Ye's change; the current Bu Ye was much smarter and had a harder heart.

"Sheng'er, go to your mother. Uncle Bu is going to save people."

"Okay!"

Sheng'er obediently lifted his head and wiped the tears from his face.

Bu Ye put Sheng'er down and saw Du Sanhui, who was leading the way, finally catch up. He said to Luo Xiu without any emotion, "Go and meet Uncle Du, let him protect you."

Then, Bu Ye turned and ran towards the most intense battle.

Bu Ye had only run a few steps when a whistle suddenly sounded: "Oh oh oh oh oh..."

The whistle carried an indescribable shock and panic, immediately drawing the attention of all the Dongmang Mountain bandits!

"Third leader!" Upon hearing the whistle, the first and second leaders, who were fighting in the distance, almost simultaneously shouted and looked into the crowd.

But their third leader was already a headless corpse on the ground, and they didn't see him.

Not seeing him was the problem; the third leader might really be dead!

And when they saw Bu Ye charging back like a tiger descending from the mountain, they were even more convinced of this.

"Second leader!" The first leader suddenly growled and held nothing back.

The second leader immediately understood and attacked with all his might, like a mad tiger, reserving no strength at all!

They had to kill at least one of Hong Zhongwei or Liang Xiong before Bu Ye arrived!

"Whoosh!"

The first leader's black wolf tooth club smashed down, and neither Hong Zhongwei nor Liang Xiong dared to block it, each dodging to the left.

Just as they dodged, the first leader discarded the club and, in a single leap, was in front of Hong Zhongwei, kicking him in the chest!

At this moment, his twelve Heart Cloud stars were fully activated, and the kick was powerful enough to pierce through a chest! Hong Zhongwei couldn't dodge in time and could only cross his arms in front of his chest to block!

"Crack!"

"Bang!"

Hong Zhongwei's arm broke, and he flew out, but the worst part was that the second leader was already waiting for him.

Hong Zhongwei had just landed and hadn't even had time to stand up when the second leader's two-meter-long broadsword came slashing down!

"Swish!!"

Half the blade cut into Hong Zhongwei's body, almost splitting his upper body in two!

The second leader quickly pulled the sword out, and Hong Zhongwei's body, losing its support, fell backward, blood gushing out, and he was already on his last breath...

This leader of the Dongmang Village defense team, who had protected the village for nearly twenty years, died and died with his eyes open.

Many young men from Dongmang Village witnessed Hong Zhongwei's death, and this almost destroyed their fighting spirit. The remaining few defense team members were even worse; for them, Hong Zhongwei's death was like the sky falling.

Fortunately, Liang Xiong did not immediately flee but stayed and immediately shouted loudly, "The third leader of the Dongmang Mountain bandits is dead! Everyone, hold on, it will be dark soon! Bu Ye!"

Bu Ye was already running over and, upon hearing this, didn't respond but directly faced the second leader of the Dongmang Mountain bandits.

He had been able to kill the third leader because he caught him off guard, and the third leader's strength was the weakest. If it had been the first leader, Bu Ye was sure that even if he could temporarily form the third constellation in his body, he would still not be a match. According to the agreement, he was not obligated to fight the first leader; he only needed to fight to the best of his ability.

Liang Xiong didn't say anything more but roared and charged at the first leader of the Dongmang Mountain bandits. He changed his usual fighting style and adopted a rarely used guerrilla tactic, often lunging to the east and dodging to the west, looking extremely awkward. However, his efforts managed to slightly hold back the first leader, and he himself did not suffer any fatal injuries. Liang Xiong, who usually liked to fight head-on, was also very skilled at guerrilla tactics!

On the other side, Bu Ye was already fighting the second leader and trying to form the third constellation again. However, the previous feeling of ease and naturalness was hard to find, possibly because the blood stars had not fully recovered.

Regardless, under the leadership of Liang Xiong and Bu Ye, the Dongmang Village side gradually stabilized.

Du Sanhui also began to gather the scattered villagers until it was completely dark.

...

Finally, they had survived another day, but no one in Dongmang Village could be happy. The news of Hong Zhongwei's death had spread, and many young men and villagers had died in the battle during the day. No one could see the future.

Liang Xiong seemed to dislike managing things. After the Dongmang Mountain bandits retreated, he let go and sat under a tree, deep in thought, his face very gloomy, and no one dared to disturb him.

Bu Ye disliked managing things even more, so the tasks of setting up camp and standing guard were left to Du Sanhui and Chai Ren. Chai Ren was like a porcupine, attacking anyone who might affect his power grab. Fortunately, Du Sanhui didn't take him seriously and always kept the defense of the village and the camp firmly in his hands. If it were left to the foolish Chai Ren, who knows what chaos would ensue.

That night, Bu Ye had no more interest in Dongmang Village's affairs, as he believed the outcome was already clear: Dongmang Village would eventually be destroyed, and no one could change that fact.

What he was more concerned about now was the last black mist in his mind! The next morning, that black mist would disappear!

He had a strong sense of crisis, feeling that when the last black mist disappeared, something incredible might happen, even a life-threatening situation, so he had to prepare as much as possible.

After dinner, Bu Ye found a place to sit and continued to study the constellation incantation. If he could master it, forming the third constellation in a short time would undoubtedly give him more self-preservation in the face of unexpected events.

Unconsciously, it was already the middle of the night. The blood-red demon moon had passed over the ridge of Dongmang Mountain, casting its light on the western side of the mountain.

A rather solid white figure suddenly appeared in the mountains, floating and quickly moving deeper into the mountains, getting closer to the Dongmang Village camp.

If one looked closely, they would see that the white figure's face was somewhat handsome, but it was now distorted by hatred...

The third leader!

The ghost of the third leader's face was full of intense hatred, anger, and even contempt!

He was coming to take revenge on Bu Ye! And with the arrogance of his life, he believed he could easily take down Bu Ye!

The ghost of the third leader quickly reached the edge of the Dongmang Village camp and, without stopping, charged straight in!

Although he was already dead, his courage was still as great as in life!

He quickly sensed Bu Ye's position through the subtle perception of his soul state and charged straight in!

Even from a distance, he was already laughing maniacally, the sharp and terrifying laughter echoing in the souls of every living being within a hundred meters, causing the sleeping birds and beasts to wake up and faint again!
