Chapter 20

The ironwood arrows shot out as if they had eyes, striking the legs of the Bai family servants rushing towards Bu Li, each arrow causing a large spray of blood. Bai Cangtian had not expected Bu Li’s archery skills to be so exquisite; even the most powerful jungle hunter in the clan’s legends could not be this strong! How could Bu Li achieve such a level?

Those surrounding Bu Li only felt that he moved extremely fast, as if countless sharp winds were passing by. Before their bodies could react, a painful and numb sensation spread through their thighs, as if a large hand had struck them, forcing them to retreat several steps. The powerful patterned warrior barely managed to stand in place, while ordinary people fell to the ground severely injured.

How could that kid be so strong?! This was everyone’s thought. Even the most powerful mountain hunter in the legends would not be this strong!

Bai Cangtian was slightly stunned but quickly urged the anthropoid. The strength of the patterned beast was such that no matter how powerful a hunter was, they could not handle it. Bu Li had some unknown bloodline, with an astonishing recovery ability. Bai Cangtian knew this, so he was not surprised that Bu Li was standing unharmed before him. From the start, he used his full strength.

However, something seemed different.

In an instant, Bai Cangtian noticed that the anthropoid was restrained by something, unable to move no matter how hard it struggled. In a mix of shock and anger, Bai Cangtian suddenly saw a dark figure rushing towards the anthropoid. At some point, yellow-green vines had grown throughout the courtyard, lush and dense, turning the large courtyard into a jungle.

Every person shot by Bu Li’s ironwood arrows was entangled by the vines and thrown to the ground. The anthropoid’s limbs were tightly bound by the vines, and the black bear’s massive paws struck the anthropoid’s head, making a loud noise. Bai Cangtian wanted to leap up and charge directly at Bu Li. For a hunter, close combat was undoubtedly fatal.

But just as Bai Cangtian leaped into the air, a vine wrapped around his ankle like a python, pulling him down and slamming him to the ground. Before Bai Cangtian could use his soul power to release a second patterned beast, the vines suddenly tightened, causing intense pain. His soul power could not coalesce, and he could not release the patterned beast.

Bu Li slung his longbow over his back, took out a knife that seemed to be covered in grease from his leg bindings, and with a smile, squatted in front of Bai Cangtian and said, “Is Bai Liang really not here?”

Bai Cangtian, dazed and disoriented, seemed not to hear what Bu Li said, only staring at him fiercely.

Bu Li also knew that Bai Liang should not be there; otherwise, with the commotion he had caused, Bai Liang would have appeared. But now, there was still no sign of him. Where could Bai Liang have gone?

While thinking, Bu Li swung the knife, using the back of the blade to slap Bai Cangtian’s face, making a “slap, slap” sound.

“Some say that a son should repay his father’s debts, but the reverse seems to be true as well. Since Bai Liang is not here, the things he did can be blamed on your poor discipline.” Bu Li spoke casually. In this battle, the pure patterned hunter displayed formidable strength. The vines were stronger than Bu Li had expected, even the patterned beast could not break free. No wonder Hu Wu said that the soul power of this vine exceeded the capacity of a first-stage patterned beast. It was indeed a top-tier creature, and the risk he took was worth it.

“Bai Liang broke both of my legs, so I’ll note that down. When I find him one day, I’ll break his dog legs. But for now, I need some interest.” With that, Bu Li stabbed the knife into the root of Bai Cangtian’s left leg. Familiar with anatomy to the bone, the knife pierced Bai Cangtian’s leg, avoiding major blood vessels, not fatal but cutting through the tendons in the dense network of blood vessels.

Bu Li was satisfied that his hands were not rusty. If he were to return to his world now, he could continue working as a surgeon without any problem.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred! Bu Li suddenly felt a faint soul power surge from Bai Cangtian’s body. In that instant, the knife in his hand seemed to come alive, a vitality leaping in Bu Li’s hand. However, the soul power was so weak that the knife only “jumped” once and then returned to its quiet state. Bu Li was unsure if what he felt was real or just an illusion.

Bu Li’s aim was extremely accurate, avoiding most of the blood vessels. The human body structure in the Soul澜 Continent was not much different from that of the world Bu Li came from, which he had known for a long time. The lack of blood did not mean the injury was minor; Bai Cangtian’s face turned from red to pale...

As if seeing an unbelievable ghost, he stared at Bu Li with wide, terrified eyes.

After a moment’s thought, Bu Li used the knife to sever the tendons in Bai Cangtian’s other leg, the tip of the knife trembling slightly, crushing the tendon ends deep inside. Even with the best medicines and the most skilled hands, Bai Cangtian would never fully recover.

Bu Li’s mind was no longer on breaking Bai Cangtian’s legs to vent his anger. The fleeting sensation from the knife seemed to stir up memories of the years he had lost. The long-dormant memories began to show signs of awakening, though just for a moment, Bu Li could not be sure if it was real. But deep down, he knew it was true; the knife had connected him to those lost years.

But why? Could Bai Cangtian have some special quality?

With both legs crippled, the knife landed on his body, and Bai Cangtian felt his legs no longer obeying him. Although there was not much blood, he was already crippled. However, this was not what made Bai Cangtian terrified. The moment Bu Li’s knife landed on him, Bai Cangtian felt the soul power in the pattern on his right leg surge into the dirty knife like a flood.

All of this was beyond Bai Cangtian’s comprehension. Bu Li had become a patterned hunter, and the patterned beast was unimaginably strong. Not only himself, but even the remaining strong members of the Bai family could not pose much of a threat to Bu Li, all being defeated almost simultaneously. Could a vine become a patterned beast? And that knife... Bai Cangtian could not even imagine what the knife was or how it could have such bizarre abilities.

With just one strike, the pattern on his right leg was destroyed.

Bu Li thought for a moment, looking at Bai Cangtian’s terrified face, feeling a sense of disgust. It was as if he had become a demon. In this man’s mind, having life and death power over him and Cai Xiaoxian was the most normal thing in the world. But when he himself became the meat on the chopping block, he would show a pitiful expression, as if the whole world owed him. What kind of mind could have such absurd thoughts?!
