Xu Jie's Crisis

Clutching the blood-soaked rope in his hand, Xu Jie gradually calmed down.

He glanced up at the dozens of mercenaries with severed bodies who were still alive and walked expressionlessly towards them.

So you like hanging people up, huh?

Good!

Xu Jie strode over and stepped on the back of the nearest mercenary, who had been cut in half at the waist.

He directly used brute force to thread the end of the rope in his hand through the mercenary's chest and dragged it towards the next person.

As Xu Jie walked past, the person behind him left a trail of scarlet flesh and blood, their screams becoming even more piercing.

Xu Jie turned a deaf ear to this, repeating the process and stringing all the surviving mercenaries onto the rope, dragging them all the way outside the village.

These mercenaries didn't flee towards Jincheng City, but went to the outer perimeter of the defense line?

Outside the village.

Xu Jie saw the direction the few fleeing mercenaries had taken from the remaining clues and couldn't help but frown.

An ambush?

Heh heh!

Even better!

Double happiness!

He wanted to see who was backing this mercenary group!

Xu Jie tightened his grip, dragging a string of bloody corpses, and sprinted forward, leaving a trail of flesh and blood behind him.

As for the villagers inside the village who had just witnessed him killing people, Xu Jie didn't care at all.

A bunch of ordinary people, so what if they saw it?

As long as he killed all the members of the mercenary group, who could testify that he killed a Martial Artist?

There was no signal in the wilderness, nor satellites. Xu Jie had also wiped away his fingerprints.

When there's no evidence, even if they know it was him who killed them, what can the military do?

After Xu Jie left the village, Chu Mingyue slowly emerged from the darkness.

She looked intently at the dirt road stained black with blood, and at the fearful gazes watching her from the shadows, sighing softly.

Xu Jie has truly gone mad!

He actually dared to slaughter so many members of the Guard Army. Is there anything he wouldn't dare to do?

Xu Jie's audaciousness shocked Chu Mingyue's heart.

However, despite this, Chu Mingyue still felt a subtle emotion brewing within her.

She had a rebellious personality to begin with; otherwise, she wouldn't have left her family to come to the border city of Jincheng.

Xu Jie's lawless style of behavior made Chu Mingyue's feelings extremely complicated.

Subconsciously, Chu Mingyue began to clean up the scene, tidying up after Xu Jie.

She smashed all the mobile phones, preventing any evidence from being left behind, and tidied up almost all the loose ends Xu Jie had left.

You damn Xu Jie, in the end, you still have to rely on me to clean up your mess. Be grateful!

How dare you be so fierce to me...

After finishing everything, Chu Mingyue thought of Xu Jie going alone to chase the fleeing mercenaries and felt a pang of urgency in her heart.

Just as she was about to leave to chase Xu Jie, a large hand suddenly grabbed her trouser leg.

Chu Mingyue turned her head to look. The mercenary who had been on the verge of death not long ago was staring at her as if in a final burst of energy.

"Heh heh... Xu Jie... is dead for sure... we were just... the ones who really want to kill Xu Jie... aren't us... it's a Captain... he's finished... urk!"

After saying this, the mercenary died on the spot, and Chu Mingyue was greatly alarmed, her pretty face changing rapidly.

A Captain is ambushing Xu Jie?

A Captain in the Guard Army has at least the cultivation of Pulse-Opening Peak Stage. Even Chu Mingyue would need some effort to deal with one.

The Guard Army is an elite martial artist who has fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Every Captain has some skills, not comparable to trash like the mercenary group.

She had to hurry and chase Xu Jie!

Chu Mingyue became a little flustered. She ran with all her might, rushed out of the village, and chased in the direction Xu Jie had left.

"Ah!"

Another scream came from behind.

The sweaty deputy leader of the mercenary group knew that it was one of the mercenaries who couldn't run anymore, killed by the devil chasing behind them.

He had no time to mourn. Other than fleeing with all his might, there was no other way out but to lead Xu Jie to the predetermined location.

Xu Jie is too strong!

It wasn't like what the Guard Army Captain told their mercenary group at all; Xu Jie was just a student in the Blood Moving Realm.

Their group leader, a Martial Artist at the intermediate stage of the second rank, couldn't even withstand a single move from Xu Jie.

Even the mercenary group's vice-leader, who had a cultivation at the low stage of the second rank, was bisected at the waist by Xu Jie with a single saber strike!

Even killing the ordinary mercenaries, who were also in the Blood Moving Realm, was as easy as crushing ants for Xu Jie.

With such terrifying strength, how could the Guard Army Captain have told them that Xu Jie could be easily handled?

Damn it, they'd been tricked!

The mercenary group's vice-leader, who was desperately fleeing for his life, was filled with regret. He didn't dare to linger for a moment, fearing he'd be caught by the devil behind him.

And behind these few mercenaries, Xu Jie was leisurely trailing them, dragging a string of corpses.

He was like a seasoned hunter, unhurriedly pursuing his prey, always maintaining a certain distance.

Not catching up, but not letting them go either!

Xu Jie had no intention of catching up directly and slaughtering the remaining mercenaries like cutting melons and vegetables.

He wanted to torment them slowly, give them hope first, and let them flee with all their might.

Only when they could no longer run would he go up to slaughter them, adding another corpse to his rope.

Gradually, more and more mercenaries collapsed from exhaustion. Xu Jie walked over and unhurriedly bisected the mercenaries who begged for mercy.

Then, he cruelly threaded them onto his rope, ignoring their pleas and screams, and continued to hunt down the remaining enemies.

This was getting more and more interesting!

Xu Jie seemed to be enjoying this feeling of chasing prey and slowly tormenting his enemies.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious, and the madness in his eyes was about to burst forth.

Xu Jie didn't know how far he had chased, but the sky was gradually turning the color of fish belly.

Among the remaining fleeing mercenaries, only the vice-leader was left; all the others were hanging on the rope in Xu Jie's hands.

From a distance, the mercenary group's vice-leader, who could no longer run, saw the ambush location the Guard Army Captain had told him about, which was about three li from here.

He couldn't run anymore...

He truly couldn't run anymore!

The mercenary group's vice-leader's eyes held a desperate desire for life, along with a trace of sorrow.

He had kicked a steel plate!

Unfortunately, the cold and ruthless Xu Jie wouldn't give his enemies any chance to survive.

He instantly appeared behind the mercenary group's vice-leader and indifferently swung his saber, cutting him in half at the waist.

Splat!

Blood splattered!

The last member of the mercenary group, screaming, fell into Xu Jie's hands.

Xu Jie tilted his head, glanced at the vice-leader writhing and screaming on the ground, and then looked up to survey the surroundings.

"Hmm, that tree, not bad!"

He crouched down expressionlessly, as if he didn't consider the still-living vice-leader as a person.

It was like the clerks in the butcher shops in his previous life, indifferent to the meat hanging on the iron hooks.

Skillfully threading the rope through the vice-leader's chest, Xu Jie stood up and walked towards a large tree not far away.

He wanted to hang the corpses of these people on the tree!

"Don't you like hanging people up?"

Xu Jie would satisfy them!
