Entering the Monster Mountain Range

The big man seemed extremely confident in his words. He was not worried about his own safety in the slightest and even began to laugh smugly.

He believed that the young man before him would yield.

At that thought, the smile on his face grew even wider.

He was waiting for the youth to submit. Then, he would viciously humiliate him and torment him and his family properly. Only then would the pain in his body be eased.

A look of delight appeared on the big man's face.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the youth before him gave him none of the reaction he wanted. This made him furious.

A savage expression surfaced on his broad face as he asked in towering rage, "Are you sure you won't apologize?"

"That's right. I won't apologize."

Xiao Bai's expression remained calm, as though he had not heard the big man's blatant threat. He answered casually.

This time, the big man could no longer suppress the rage in his heart, and a vicious glint appeared in his eyes.

"You're dead! You and your family are all going to die! This is all your fault!"

Xiao Bai's previously calm expression changed, turning into a beaming smile.

But the people around them were terrified. They could all see the undisguised killing intent in the youth's eyes.

That killing intent was so intense that there was no doubt it was not an act.

He truly wanted to kill the big man!

Once the intent to kill arose, it could no longer be restrained.

Xiao Bai spread his hand. As his Dou Qi circulated, nine tiny points of light appeared behind him, radiant light bursting in every direction. A white sword of light appeared in his hand, emanating sharpness and killing intent.

Holding the light sword, Xiao Bai walked toward the big man and, under his horrified gaze, laid the blade against his neck.

"Y-you, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Hehe, what do you think?"

As he spoke, Xiao Bai applied a little force with his hand. A red ring appeared around the big man's neck, and he felt as though some liquid was flowing down.

He knew it was not water. It was his own blood.

"No, don't kill me! I was wrong! I won't dare do it again! Please, let me go! Sob, sob, sob..."

The big man was truly afraid this time. This youth was completely a hotheaded fool. He did not doubt for a moment that the youth would dare to kill him.

These days, there were other people one need not fear, because reason could be used to talk things through with them. But hotheaded fools were different. They did not care about reason at all and only acted according to their own thoughts.

He felt himself drawing closer and closer to death. Endless darkness was closing in around him, bringing with it an extreme sense of suffocation.

The big man shuddered, and his pants became wet. A foul stench immediately spread, making the surrounding people keep backing away.

Xiao Bai's brows furrowed deeply.

This big man was actually so afraid of death that he had lost control of his bowels and bladder.

Disgusting.

Xiao Bai cast the man a cold glance, and the sword in his hand vanished. He felt that killing this person would dirty his hands.

Of course, there was another reason: he needed to find a better excuse, one that at least sounded justified, before turning the Wolf Head Mercenary Group into his experience fodder.

As someone who considered himself a good person, Xiao Bai needed a justified excuse even when picking a fight.

It could give him pressure while also opening up a source of income. Why not?

Of course, when necessary, there was no need for so much trouble. He could just stir things up directly.

One had to be flexible in life!

Xiao Bai left, vanishing into the woods in the blink of an eye. He had given the man a way to live.

Watching the direction the youth had gone, the big man struggled to his feet. In an extremely furious tone, he threatened the people around him, trying to salvage some dignity before turning and running in one direction.

An experienced old man familiar with this area saw the direction the big man had gone and cried out in alarm.

"That's the direction of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's base. It looks like that young man is in trouble."

The faces of the people around him changed drastically, and they hurriedly left.

They all knew how unreasonable and overbearing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was, how arrogant and tyrannical they acted.

If they did not leave, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group might come looking for them. That would truly be asking for trouble.

Very soon, everyone here had left.

If not for the drops of blood on the ground, no one would have known that someone had nearly died here just moments ago.

The big man jogged all the way, anxious and hurried. Before long, he arrived at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's base.

"Guildmaster, Guildmaster, you have to stand up for me!"

Before he even entered the room, his voice was already heard.

Inside a spacious hall, the big man knelt on the ground. The bloody mark on his neck had yet to fade, and he wore a pitiful expression.

"Speak. What happened?"

The big man seated in the center of the hall spoke. He was the guildmaster, Mu She.

Mu Li, the young man beside him, also asked. He was the guildmaster's son.

"What happened to the wound on your neck? Who dared to touch someone from our Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

Hearing the questions from the young man and the big man, and seeing the curious gazes of those seated nearby, the big man began to show off his eloquence, embellishing the story as he spoke.

Whether he could get revenge depended on him.

"This is what happened. Today, I went out onto the streets, thinking I might find a job to take on. As I walked along, I suddenly heard someone insulting the Wolf Head Mercenary Group near the entrance to town."

The moment they heard this, everyone in the hall frowned, and their gazes grew much sharper.

"Go on!"

"As a member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, of course I couldn't let this continue. So I went over to stop him and found a youth spouting nonsense. I demanded that he apologize, but not only did he refuse, he continued insulting us. He said some terrible things, saying that everyone in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was trash and not even worthy to carry his shoes."

Bang!

A loud crash rang out as Mu Li slammed his palm onto the table and rose to his feet.

"How dare he? Since he said that, why didn't you kill him? The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is not to be insulted by just anyone."

The big man looked at the young guildmaster, then swept his gaze around. Seeing the fury in everyone's eyes, he knew the matter was basically settled, but this was still not enough.

So, with a grief-stricken expression, he said, "I couldn't beat him. He even said that when he got the chance, he would wipe out our Wolf Head Mercenary Group. If he had not wanted me to bring you a message, I probably wouldn't have made it back. Sob, sob, sob..."

"Good, good, good! I'd like to see just how he plans to destroy my Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"

The guildmaster seated in the center rose to his feet. Broad-backed and thick-waisted, his towering body brought immense pressure to everyone around him.

From his tone, he was clearly enraged to the extreme. The oppressive aura of a Two Star Dou Shi swept through the hall, making those around him tremble in fear.

Of course, despite his anger, he had not lost his reason.

"Do you know who he is?"

"Just an ordinary brat who stumbled upon some opportunity."

Mu She did not doubt him, because he was too confident in himself.

"Mm, good! Pass down my order. Find this person. I want him to pay the price for insulting the honor of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

"Yes, yes..."

Voices of acknowledgment rang out one after another.

Soon, orders were sent out one after another, and the mercenary group that dominated Qingshan Town began to move.

Xiao Bai knew nothing of this. At this time, he had entered the Monster Mountain Range.
