Chapter 23

The terrifying sound of bones cracking echoed like popping beans. The middle-aged man's half-head instantly deformed, his neck stretching over a foot. The terrifying punch from Wu Mu instantly crushed him, sending him flying into the sky, soaring over two hundred meters high.

After several breaths, the middle-aged man plummeted straight from the sky, landing with a solid thud and raising a cloud of dust.

At the entrance of the city-state, there was complete silence. All the Yin clan warriors simultaneously raised their weapons, locking onto Wu Mu's body. A large group of heavily armored Yin clan warriors surged out from the secret passages on both sides of the city gate, forming a phalanx with their heavy shields linked together, holding heavy swords and spears, and advancing step by step toward Wu Mu.

A low alarm bell sounded from the pyramids on both sides. The blood mist barrier above the Yin clan city-state flashed with blood light, and countless whistling sounds rapidly approached from afar. In just a few blinks, hundreds of streaks of light fell from the sky, and a large group of Yin clan experts in blood-red robes rushed over.

Leading the charge was none other than Yin Xuejiao's father, Yin Ji Wu, the second-ranked member of the 'Ji' generation in the Yin clan's 'Heaven and Earth, Blood Sea Universe' lineage. He was not only the second-ranked direct descendant of the 'Ji' generation but also the head of the Blood Battle Hall, wielding all the external armed forces of the Yin clan, making him a powerful and influential figure.

His body left dozens of blood-colored afterimages as Yin Ji Wu rushed to Yin Xuejiao's side. He grabbed Yin Xuejiao's body, his eyes nearly popping out as he saw the transparent blood hole in his chest!

Yin Xuejiao's body moved, and a piece of fabric near his abdomen suddenly turned to fine powder and scattered, revealing a purplish-blue footprint on his smooth, flat abdomen. What was terrifying was that this footprint protruded about an inch from his abdomen, showing the immense damage this kick had inflicted on him!

"Who injured my child?" Yin Ji Wu screamed in anger.

All the Yin clan members present looked at Yin Xuege, whose right palm was still covered in a large amount of blood, dripping to the ground.

"Scoundrel!" Yin Ji Wu didn't even bother to think about how Yin Xuege had safely returned from the Da Bo Lin city-state. He only knew that this bastard had once again severely injured his proud son! And in front of so many clan members, far more than the day he injured Yin Xuejiao in the Young Warrior Hall's practical class!

This was undoubtedly another heavy slap in the face for Yin Ji Wu!

His proud son, who had broken through to the Star Warrior at the age of fourteen, the youngest Star Warrior in the history of the Yin clan, the most talented genius, the noble offspring of his bloodline, had once again been severely injured by this bastard, Yin Xuege!

"Yin Xuege! You are courting death!" A dense blood-colored flame burned fiercely on Yin Ji Wu's body. His clothes suddenly burst open, and a pair of pale blood-colored bat wings rapidly unfurled from his back, each about five meters wide. The bat wings beat heavily against the air, causing a fierce wind to howl within a hundred meters, blowing many low-ranking Yin clan warriors to the ground in a disheveled state.

Wu Mu sidestepped to block Yin Xuege, his tall and robust body easily withstanding the fierce wind. The wind stirred only his silver hair, which danced in the air, giving the rough-faced Wu Mu an air of invincibility and dominance.

"Hey, stinky bat, are you Yin Ji Wu? It's been a long time!"

Without a doubt, Wu Mu was extremely skilled at provoking people to the point of rage and stirring up hatred.

Spitting out countless saliva droplets, Wu Mu pointed at Yin Ji Wu and laughed loudly, "Do you remember an old friend? The Wu Mu who competed with you for the Thousand-Eyed Giant God Tree in the Alps fifty years ago?"

Wu Mu whistled lightly at Yin Ji Wu and vigorously wiggled his hips, "If you've forgotten the might of Lord Wu Mu, do you remember the old friend who pierced your butt with a spear on the Alps?"

Yin Xuege looked at Wu Mu with a strange expression. Was this big wolf going crazy again? But, he pierced Yin Ji Wu's butt with a spear? Hmm, from what angle and position? How thick was the spear? How deep did it go? Yin Xuege and over ninety percent of the Yin clan members present simultaneously imagined countless bloody and unsavory scenes!

Yin Ji Wu was stunned for a moment, then his pale face turned blood-red. He trembled, pointing at Wu Mu, unable to speak for a long time. After a while, when the Yin clan experts behind him were getting impatient, he finally managed to let out an angry roar.

"Yin Xuege! You dare to collude with outsiders and severely injure a Yin clan child! Are you trying to rebel?"

The sound of breaking air came, and Yin Ji Huang arrived with a large group of Yin clan experts. He curiously looked at the long-haired Wu Mu, gave a strange smile at the calm Yin Xuege, and then stood silently behind, smiling and tucking his hands into his sleeves.

Seeing Yin Ji Huang arrive and representatives from other major forces within the Yin clan present, Yin Xuege slowly nodded and laughed loudly.

"Uncle, I'm not trying to rebel. I just want Uncle to know that I'm back alive."

"Those people from the Da Bo Lin city-state couldn't kill me. Unfortunately, the two warriors who escorted me might never return."

Yin Ji Wu was so angry that his head spun. He screamed hoarsely, "Failing to complete the task assigned by the External Affairs Hall is a crime. You even dared to beat a direct descendant of the clan. You, you, you are courting death!"

"Courting death? No!" In front of thousands of Yin clan members, Yin Xuege made a shocking move.

Leaving several afterimages, Yin Xuege quickly retreated, flashing out of the range of the blood mist barrier.

The warm sunlight shone on Yin Xuege, and he stood quietly in the sunlight, his young face showing a hint of comfort and ease.

"The sunlight, which is fatal to the blood demon clan, did not harm me at all. I bask in the golden sunlight, my young face still wearing a relaxed and content smile."

"I accidentally discovered that I am a day-walker!" Yin Xuege looked at the suddenly pale Yin Ji Wu and gave a strange smile. With a sense of satisfaction, Yin Xuege said coldly, "I want to see the Ancestor or any of the family elders!"

"I want to appeal. This time, I was betrayed in the External Affairs Hall mission!"

"According to the clan's prohibitions, anyone who betrays a direct descendant of the clan should be sentenced to death by sunlight!"

Yin Xuege smiled brightly, and all the Yin clan members present simultaneously cried out in disbelief.
