Chapter 30

"Ah~"

"Kill!"

"Ha ha ha!"

Amidst the flying blood and severed limbs, the execution ground was in chaos, filled with screams and cries for death.

Arrows and crossbow bolts flew from the watchtowers, targeting the dozen or so bandits who had come to rescue the prisoners, as well as the convicts trying to escape in the confusion.

Why did they start by killing the executioners?!

Hearing that roar, Yang Yu almost spat blood. He pulled Wang Kui and rolled off the platform, only to see the entire execution ground in turmoil.

And that roar wasn't aimed at him; it was because some executioners, seeing the rescue attempt, immediately started to cut down the prisoners.

Isn't this suicide?!

Yang Yu rolled a few times to avoid the flying arrows. Seeing those large men charging up the platform, he could do nothing to help.

Because he was also being targeted.

Whoosh!

The blade grazed his face, and Wang Kui almost wet himself, fleeing a few steps without seeing Yang Yu.

Turning back, he saw Yang Yu facing off against a knife-wielding bandit.

"An executioner at the Blood Change stage?"

The bandit, with a backhand, cut down a panicked guard and looked at the young man before him with a hint of surprise.

He came to kill, showing no mercy, but was unexpectedly forced back a few steps.

The young man, who hadn't even fully grown, wielded the knife with the skill of a seasoned veteran, which was truly unbelievable.

But his surprise was fleeting, and he soon stepped forward with a grin, swinging his heavy cleaver. The heavy cleaver, aided by the power of his waist, came down with great force.

At the same time, a red light flashed on his face, activating his inner qi.

Whistling~

This strike was extremely fierce, cutting through the rain and wind. If hit, even an iron man would be cut to the bone.

"Activated inner qi?"

Yang Yu's heart stirred, guessing the bandit's intentions and sneering inwardly.

External training of muscles, bones, and skin; internal cultivation of a single breath.

The biggest difference between a Blood Change stage warrior and an ordinary person is this breath.

This inner qi is the greatest killing move of a Blood Change warrior. Once activated, the blood flow accelerates, and the qi surges.

Both speed and strength will increase significantly.

This bandit was already tall and strong, with a powerful and heavy knife. Now, with the activation of inner qi, he was even more formidable. Yang Yu knew he couldn't withstand such a blow.

But why should he try to block it?

Yang Yu remained calm, his Ghost Head Knife moving flawlessly, while he slowly retreated, stepping in the Wind Chasing Step.

In the hour before the execution, he wasn't just idling; he had memorized the entire layout of the execution ground.

Including the positions of the crossbowmen with the Divine Arm Crossbows.

Buzz!

Sure enough, after retreating just a few steps, Yang Yu heard a sharp whistling sound.

"Divine Arm Crossbow?!"

The bandit realized the danger, sinking his waist and hips, and pushing his inner qi to the limit, swinging his heavy cleaver at the source of the sound.

"Blocking it head-on?"

Yang Yu, who had rolled in the mud, immediately felt a sense of pity for the bandit.

The Divine Arm Crossbow is made of extremely special materials.

It is said that each crossbow must be engraved with the craftsman's name, and if it cannot penetrate armor from 800 steps away, the craftsman will be executed.

Even the substandard Divine Arm Crossbows in Black Mountain City can penetrate skulls from 300 steps away!

"Ahh!"

Sure enough, a scream echoed.

The bandit's arm and knife were pierced, and he flew through the air, landing in the mud several meters away.

But the bandit was still alive, roaring as he tried to get up.

Swoosh~

But how could Yang Yu give him the chance?

Reversing his grip on the knife, he lunged forward, spinning and swinging his arm. With one strike, he decapitated the bandit who had just struggled to sit up.

"Thirteenth Brother!"

As the headless body fell into the blood, Yang Yu heard a mournful cry.

Several bandits, forced back by the arrows, were enraged. One of them roared and charged forward to avenge his fallen comrade, but the next moment, all the bandits changed their expressions.

Through the misty rain, a bone-chilling sound of bowstrings being drawn echoed.

Under the tent, the official overseeing the execution coldly watched the scene:

"Execute!"

At the official's cold command, the scar-faced man on the execution platform, who had just unfurled a steel chain, changed his expression.

"Come to Second Brother!"

He roared, and the prisoner, still bound by the steel chain, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes glowing red beneath his disheveled hair.

"Roar!"

He took a step forward, emitting a deafening roar.

From a distance of several dozen meters, Yang Yu felt his eardrums sting, and he looked up in shock. Around the prisoner, a fierce wind seemed to rise.

The arrows from the rain, caught in this wind, lost their force and were deflected by the prisoner's swinging arms!

"Even with such severe injuries, you still have strength?"

Yang Yu was greatly shaken and felt the urge to retreat.

Not far away, Wang Kui, seeing the arrows deflected, had already rolled and crawled away from the execution ground.

"All of you!"

A hoarse voice echoed through the rain, and beneath the disheveled hair, blood dripped from Tie Long's seven orifices:

"Not one shall be left alive!"

"Kill!"

The men he protected all rose up, brandishing their weapons and charging at everyone present.

Like tigers out of the cage!

For a moment, the guards in the execution ground were terrified, their faces ashen.

Yang Yu bent down, feeling the headless body, and retreated with his knife.

Seeing the bandits go berserk, he had intended to retreat, but a familiar figure caught his eye, and he changed his mind.

Instead of retreating, he swung his Ghost Head Knife, forcing back the bandit who was charging at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Even with such severe injuries, you still have strength. I underestimated you."

A cold, hard voice sounded.

Wang Fobao, holding a bloodied long knife, stepped out from the rain, with several bodies lying behind him.

"Seventeenth Brother, Nineteenth Brother!"

Seeing this, the scar-faced man's eyes turned bloodshot: "Wang Fobao, I'll make you pay with your blood!"

"Pay with blood? What will you use to pay for the innocent people killed by your thirty bandits over the years?"

Wang Fobao's expression was cold.

With a wave of his hand, several archers appeared around the execution ground.

The bandits' expressions changed.

"You wanted to lure me out, and I came out."

Wang Fobao's eyes were like lightning, coldly staring at the bandits:

"Let me tell you, the bandits you sent to rescue the prisoners, except for two who ran fast, the rest have already been executed!"

"Impossible!"

Tie Long's face finally changed.

"Tie Long, did you really think my hidden sentries would be so easily found? And that you would see the Divine Arm Crossbows?"

Wang Fobao stepped closer:

"I only brought out three Divine Arm Crossbows. The rest are in the prison! It's laughable that the bandits who tried to rescue the prisoners are already mostly dead without my intervention!"

"Ahh!"

"Wang, you are ruthless! If I don't die today, I'll kill your entire family!"

"No! I'll massacre this Black Mountain City, leaving no one alive, no one alive!"

Hearing this, the bandits began to curse.

Yang Yu's heart also skipped a beat.

He thought he had observed everything in detail, but he didn't expect...

"Ha ha ha!"

At this moment, Tie Long, who had broken the chain on his shoulder, suddenly laughed, staring at Wang Fobao with a sinister look:

"Wang Fobao, when did you become so talkative? Trying to break my will with words? It seems your injuries are worse than the leader's!"

"Killing you is more than enough!"

Wang Fobao, expressionless, raised his knife, pointing it at the bandits:

"Not one shall be left alive!"
