"Is this guy a monster?"

"With... with one axe, he killed Wang Feng?"

All the soldiers and martial artists felt a chill run down their spines at the horrifying sight. It took considerable strength to split a living person neatly in half with a single axe blow.

It was like an executioner beheading someone; even professionals occasionally failed to sever the prisoner's head with one strike, leaving the person alive and suffering for a long time!

But this Bearded Man splitting a living person in half with one axe was terrifying!

"Gulp!"

The refined man holding a folding fan swallowed hard, his face showing fear. Wang Feng, the Wind Slaying Saber, was a first-rate martial artist in Fengyue City, no weaker than him, yet he was killed in a single encounter by the Bearded Man?

"Well done!"

The Blood Cloud Bandits on the other side burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"What kind of trash Wind Slaying Saber? I'll take one of you with each axe!"

The Bearded Man spat disdainfully at Wang Feng's corpse.

Then, the Bearded Man looked at the crowd opposite him, "With just you lot of misfits, you think you can oppose us? Who else wants to try? Or come at me all at once, I'll kill one by one!"

Faced with the Bearded Man's arrogant attitude, everyone gritted their teeth in anger. But seeing Wang Feng's corpse, they knew their place; if they went up, the result would likely be the same. The speed and weight of the Bearded Man's axe seemed beyond human capacity to withstand!

"I, Wang Shan, will face you!"

Wang Shan roared. As a martial artist, even with an injured hand, he couldn't stand by and watch the other party insult Wang Feng's corpse so brazenly.

"No! Brother Wang, your hand is injured, it's too disadvantageous," Sun Tielong quickly pulled Wang Shan back.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Tielong looked at Tang Jie and said in a deep voice, "Brother Tang, I hope you can kill him."

Everyone's gaze turned to Tang Jie. Wang Shan, the refined man, and others' eyes gleamed with curiosity. This young man in black looked only around twenty years old, tall and strong, clearly a practitioner of martial arts.

But there were several first-rate martial artists present. Sun Tielong wanted Tang Jie to act; did he think this young man was stronger than these renowned first-rate martial artists of Fengyue City?

"Why does Lord Sun value this young man so highly? He's even asking him to act in such a pleading manner? Could he be... an immortal cultivator?"

Wang Shan and the others wondered. Sun Tielong was the Centurion of Fengyue City, holding significant status and power, and was himself a super first-rate martial artist. Yet, he was discussing with Tang Jie in such a respectful manner, which made Wang Shan and the others' hearts stir.

They thought Tang Jie might be an immortal cultivator; otherwise, why would it be like this? But wasn't it said that no immortal cultivators were accompanying this operation?

"Alright."

Tang Jie's reply was concise. He walked out from the crowd, his expression calm as he approached the Bearded Man in the distance. The Bearded Man was very tall, but Tang Jie was no less so.

"He's coming!"

Sun Tielong's eyes were filled with excitement as he stared intently at the arena.

Tang Jie, whose strength was unfathomable, perhaps the strongest martial artist he had ever seen, was about to make his move, captivating his full attention and making his heart pound.

Tang Jie had once single-handedly killed the three super first-rate experts of the Du Tang Three Fiends, a feat he hadn't witnessed firsthand but which had stunned everyone, completely crushing their will to resist. His power was beyond imagination. Now, facing these seemingly inhuman Blood Cloud Bandits, what would be the outcome? Sun Tielong didn't want to miss a single second!

"He's just walking over?"

The Bearded Man frowned. Tang Jie was simply walking towards him. He didn't think Tang Jie was a fool to be so careless after witnessing Wang Feng's demise.

"However... you die!"

The Bearded Man roared, choosing to attack first. He stomped his foot, held his giant axe with both hands, and roared as he swung it horizontally. The horizontal swing covered a wider area, making it harder to dodge. The Bearded Man knew his strengths were power and speed. He vaguely sensed a faint dangerous aura from Tang Jie and didn't dare to be careless, unleashing his full power!

Tang Jie's eyes remained calm. In his opinion, this Bearded Man was too weak, not even like a martial artist. The reason he could kill Wang Feng was due to overwhelming strength, like that of a Demonic Beast. However, this was useless in front of Tang Jie!

Whoosh!

The axe tore through the air, slashing towards him. Suddenly, a chilling blade light flashed in the air!

"Clang!"

Tang Jie placed his palm on the hilt, and the sound of the blade unsheathing rang out, a crisp, melodious, and deadly chime.

"Crack!"

The fleeting cold light met the incoming axe head-on. Amidst the crisp shattering sound, the massive, hundred-pound giant axe seemed to be struck by lightning, emitting a cracking sound as it broke apart. The thick axe body was cleaved into pieces!

"Pfft!"

The Bearded Man's pupils contracted. He felt a slight coolness on his neck as the cold light grazed him.

"Clang, clang!"

The broken, blood-stained axe fell to the ground.

"How... how is this possible?" The Bearded Man stared at Tang Jie, speaking with difficulty, his eyes filled with disbelief. Despite his transformed body, far surpassing that of a human and nearly comparable to a Demonic Beast, he hadn't seen how Tang Jie drew his blade at all!

Tang Jie stood in place, his hand still on the hilt, as if he hadn't even made a move!

"Thump!"

He opened his mouth, and a line of blood appeared on the Bearded Man's neck, blood gushing out. His head rolled silently to the ground, his eyes still wide open.

"Who's next?" Tang Jie asked coldly, looking at the stunned group of Blood Cloud Bandits opposite him.

"With one strike... with just one strike... he killed the Blood Cloud Bandit who killed Wang Feng with one axe?"

The refined man holding the folding fan's eyes widened, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.

"Blood Cloud Bandits... someone died? The Blood Cloud Bandits haven't suffered a single casualty in over a month!"

More soldiers trembled with excitement.

The Blood Cloud Bandits had instilled immense fear in Fengyue City. The fundamental reason was that the Fengyue City army had clashed with them several times, and without exception, their record was one of heavy losses, with their own forces being slaughtered and fleeing in disarray, while not a single Blood Cloud Bandit was injured or killed. They were all as powerful as non-humans.

Some soldiers even suspected that these Blood Cloud Bandits might be immortal, otherwise, how could they explain the Blood Cloud Bandits' undefeated record in so many battles?

But now, the Blood Cloud Bandits' legend of immortality was shattered before their eyes. The young man in black, as if crushing an ant, casually unleashed a single, unseen slash, effortlessly killing a Blood Cloud Bandit!

As for Wang Shan, looking at Tang Jie's tall back, his body trembled violently. He felt as if Tang Jie's back merged with a wild, untamed silhouette!

"Bull Demon King... you are the Bull Demon King!"

Wang Shan exclaimed, his slightly aged face losing its composure.

Wang Shan was the leader of the Iron Palm Gang in Fengyue City, and he himself was nearly at the level of a super first-rate martial artist. He had once heard tales of an undefeated king named Bull Demon King emerging from Lingyue City. Over a year ago, he had traveled to Lingyue City, wanting to witness firsthand if the so-called Bull Demon King lived up to his reputation.

As a result, Wang Shan personally saw that Bull Demon King easily shatter an enemy's shield with a mere clash of blades. This made Wang Shan realize that the Bull Demon King was truly an undefeated king worthy of his title. Not only was his saber technique divine, but his internal energy cultivation was definitely far superior to his own, possibly reaching the realm of Refining Qi into Gang.

Wang Shan was extremely impressed and wished he could discuss martial arts with the man. However, after that encounter, he later heard that the Bull Demon King had become a fugitive and disappeared without a trace!

Wang Shan never expected to meet the Bull Demon King under such circumstances. Although he hadn't seen the Bull Demon King's true face, Tang Jie's terrifyingly powerful slash instantly reminded him of the Bull Demon King, who had left such a deep impression on him!

"Bull Demon King... he's the Bull Demon King?" The other martial artists were also astonished. No wonder Sun Tielong held this young man in such high regard.

It was simply because he was the Bull Demon King, known as the undefeated king, who had defeated immortal cultivators and slain demonic beasts!
