Fist Breaks Bandit Leader

On a dark and windy night, it was the perfect time for murder.

A group of ten moved through the darkness like phantoms. Wang Yue followed closely behind seven members of the Wang clan's collateral branches. He knew that professionals should handle professional matters. These seven had been dealing with the clan's dark affairs for years, and their skills in stealth and tracking far surpassed his and Xu Li's.

Along the way, apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was not a single other sound.

Wang Yue spread his senses as far as possible, vigilantly monitoring the surroundings. Suddenly, a flicker of firelight flashed through a gap in the trees ahead. Immediately after, more lights appeared one after another. The firelight illuminated a patch of simple wooden huts – the bandits' camp.

"Haa…"

A yawning sound came from a distance. Though far away, it was precisely located by the group hidden in the bushes.

The leading collateral member of the Wang clan raised his hand to signal, and Jiang Peiling immediately stepped out from the group. Her footsteps were as light as a ghost's, but her speed was not slow.

Wang Yue glanced at her taut, fair neck, seeing that despite her practiced movements, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Soon, a faint "crack" sounded – the sound of bone breaking. It was so faint it was almost masked by the wind, and it didn't attract attention within the camp.

Jiang Peiling scouted ahead, confirming that the outer sentries had been eliminated, and waved for the group to follow.

The group gradually crept towards the depths of the camp. Along the way, they dealt with two more scattered sentries and finally saw three wooden houses that were slightly better than the others, clearly the residences of the bandit leaders.

Wang Yue exhaled deeply. Not being discovered by this point meant the mission was already half-successful.

According to the prior assignment, Wang Yue and Xu Li followed behind Jiang Peiling, moving towards the shadows of the wooden huts on the right. Once everyone was in position, Jiang Peiling nodded slightly. Wang Yue's figure flashed, and he silently stood before a door, slowly pushing it open.

"Creak…"

The sound of the wooden door turning was extremely faint, and there was no movement from inside the room. Wang Yue quickly entered, not even looking back to confirm if Xu Li and Jiang Peiling were following. He knew that at this moment, there was no room for hesitation.

On the bed, a middle-aged man was sleeping soundly with a disheveled woman in his arms. A cold glint flashed in Wang Yue's eyes. The six streams of Qi and Blood within him surged into his right arm without reservation. His arm, clad in the Black Cloud Fist, was like a cannonball fired from a gun, striking directly towards the man's head.

The force of the punch cut through the air, emitting a faint "whumph" sound, finally startling the man awake. But the last thing he saw as he opened his eyes was Wang Yue's iron fist, gleaming with cold light.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, a large amount of blood gushed out. The man's head was caved in by a fist imprint. His body twitched twice before he breathed his last. The woman beside him was about to scream, but Wang Yue had already spun around and burst out of the room. Ignoring her, he lunged directly towards the largest wooden hut in the center.

"Bang!"

Wang Yue smashed through the door. A naked man inside looked at him with a face full of shock. Just as he was about to rise and resist, Wang Yue closed in, his fist aimed straight for his face.

"Bang!"

The man hastily unleashed his Qi and Blood, raising his hand to block Wang Yue's punch. Instead, a powerful force repelled Wang Yue back two steps.

"So strong!" Wang Yue was greatly alarmed. This person could repel him with bare hands, clearly stronger than himself.

Seeing Wang Yue advance instead of retreat, the man immediately lunged towards the weapon rack on the left. Wang Yue's face contorted, veins bulging. He circulated the Blood Dragon secret technique to accelerate the flow of Qi and Blood, unleashing the Harmonious Flow Fist to entangle the opponent, and shouted, "Xu Li! Go get his weapon!"

Xu Li finally reacted and rushed towards the weapon rack, grabbing a long saber.

But as he looked at the two figures fighting like a hurricane inside the room, he stood frozen, his hands gripping the saber trembling uncontrollably. He had never witnessed such a fierce battle.

The man was entangled by Wang Yue and couldn't get his weapon, so he could only roar and clash head-on with Wang Yue. The sounds of colliding Qi and Blood echoed with every exchange of fists and palms.

Just then, with a "boom," a corpse was smashed into the room. It was one of the collateral Wang clan members who had accompanied them. His chest was bloody and mangled, clearly lifeless.

"Xu Li! Go help them!" Wang Yue roared, unleashing the Harmonious Flow Fist with all his might. His punches became faster, each strike aimed at the man's vital points.

Jiang Peiling also seized the opportunity and charged in from outside the door. The spikes on her gauntlets flashed with cold light, aiming directly for the man's back.

With enemies attacking from front and back, the man's arm was quickly cut by the spikes, creating a bloody hole. However, he remained fierce, knocking Jiang Peiling back with a punch before turning to clash head-on with Wang Yue again.

"If my saber were with me, killing you two brats would be as easy as flipping my hand!" the man roared hatefully. But as his wounds bled, his stamina gradually waned, and his movements slowed.

Wang Yue keenly caught the opponent's opening. This was a boxing technique derived from the Harmonious Flow Fist Martial Soul. He suddenly lunged forward, channeling all six streams of Qi and Blood into his right arm, and delivered a punch to the man's chest.

"Pfft!"

The man spat out a large mouthful of blood but still refused to yield. He mustered all his Qi and Blood and punched Wang Yue, sending him flying and crashing through the wooden hut onto the grass.

But as he was about to pursue, Jiang Peiling attacked from behind, her gauntlet spikes piercing his back. The man used all his strength to blast Jiang Peiling away.

Then, he staggered and turned, glaring at Wang Yue with unwillingness before collapsing to the ground, completely lifeless.

Wang Yue endured the intense pain and stood up, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. He clutched his chest and flashed back into the room. Seeing Jiang Peiling clutching her abdomen and spitting blood, he quickly went to support her. Then he walked to the man's corpse, stepped on his neck, shattering it, and walked out of the wooden hut, holding the head aloft. He shouted loudly, "The bandit leader is dead! Surrender and live!"

On the other side, another bandit in the Blood Condensation Realm, who was fighting Xu Li and the remaining collateral Wang clan members, looked up after hearing the shout. He happened to see the head in Wang Yue's hand, and his eyes widened in fury. "Big brother! I'm going to kill you!"

He charged at Wang Yue like a madman. Hearing this, Wang Yue's face contorted. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his Qi and Blood surged again. "Kill me? First, let's see if you have the ability!"

At this moment, Xu Li's face was ashen with fear, and a hideous bloody gash had been opened on his body. Of the seven collateral Wang clan members, only three remained, all of them wounded.

Seeing this, Wang Yue unleashed his footwork to its extreme, meeting the bandit leader like lightning. The Black Cloud Fist collided with the opponent's saber, emitting a piercing "clang."

The three collateral Wang clan members watched in utter shock. The martial artist they couldn't even contend with was being completely suppressed by Wang Yue!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

After several collisions, the bandit leader's arms went numb from Wang Yue's immense strength, and his saber almost slipped from his grasp.

Wang Yue laughed loudly and angrily, "Your big brother asked me to spare your life before he died. Beg me, and maybe I'll spare your dog life."

The man's forehead veins bulged, his face turning red as he roared, "Die, beast, die!"

Wang Yue blocked a saber with the Black Cloud Fist. Although the man's strength had increased, his saber techniques were chaotic and undisciplined.

Wang Yue's eyes flashed with sharp light as he seized the opportunity, throwing a punch at the bandit leader's face. Brain matter mixed with blood exploded from the other side, and the leader fell stiffly to the ground.

"All bandit leaders have been executed! Those who kneel will be spared!" Wang Yue roared again, his voice echoing throughout the camp.

Seeing this, the scattered bandits in the camp descended into chaos.

A bandit leader stared in disbelief at the corpse on the ground and the head in Wang Yue's hand. He turned and fled down the mountain, followed by the other kneeling bandits.

Wang Yue didn't stop them. His objective was the bandit leaders and the looted supplies; there was no need to annihilate everyone.

In less than two sticks of incense, only scattered corpses remained in the camp. A gust of wind spread the smell of blood, making one feel nauseous.

Wang Yue first instructed three collateral members of the Wang Clan to inventory the looted supplies. He then walked over to Xu Li, seeing him still trembling. Wang Yue took out a clean cloth strip from his bosom and tossed it to him. "Wrap your wound first, don't bleed too much."

Xu Li took the cloth strip, his fingers still somewhat stiff. Wang Yue, helpless, crouched down to help him with a simple dressing. Although the wound was deep, it hadn't hit a vital spot; it just looked frightening.

Jiang Peiling also recovered, leaning against the wooden house. She watched Wang Yue tending to the wound, her tone carrying a hint of complexity. "You... If it weren't for you, Brother Wang, we would be in big trouble this time."

After bandaging his wound, Xu Li, his face pale, came behind Wang Yue and said shamefully, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Wang, I couldn't help much."

Wang Yue's expression darkened. If that man had gotten his hands on the great saber earlier, they would all be lying here now. However, Xu Li had managed to get the great saber, so he had contributed.

And those collateral members who followed him, boasting that seven of them could collectively defeat a Blood Condensation expert. Thinking of this, Wang Yue felt a surge of suffocation in his chest.

If Jiang Peiling hadn't been somewhat reliable, he might have been beaten to death by that man!

Wang Yue secretly resolved to advance his martial arts. If he didn't act, so be it, but when he did, his strike would be a thunderous killing blow.

Wang Yue never wanted to experience such a dangerous, uncertain brush with death again.
