He Is the Bull Devil King!

"What... what is that guy? Is he a monster?"

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

Every soldier and martial artist felt a chill rise in their hearts at this horrifying sight. Splitting a living person cleanly in half with one axe required tremendous strength.

It was like an executioner beheading someone. Even a professional executioner would occasionally fail to sever the prisoner's head with a single stroke, leaving the victim alive and in agony for half a day!

Yet this Bearded Man had cleaved a living person straight down the middle with one axe. It was terrifying!

"Gulp!"

The refined man holding a folding fan swallowed hard, fear showing on his face. Wind Slaying Saber Wang Feng and he had both been first-rate martial artists of Fengyue City, and neither was weaker than the other. Yet Wang Feng had actually been slain by the Bearded Man in a single exchange?

"Well done!"

The people on the Blood Cloud Bandits' side burst into loud laughter at the sight.

"What garbage Wind Slaying Saber? I can kill one with every axe!"

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

Then the Bearded Man looked toward the group opposite him. "With a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates like you, you still want to make an enemy of us? Who else wants to try? Or come at me together. This great master will kill one for every one that comes!"

Faced with the Bearded Man's arrogant attitude, everyone gritted their teeth in fury. But after witnessing Wang Feng's corpse, they knew their own limits. If they went up, they would most likely end up the same way. The speed and weight of the Bearded Man's axe seemed completely beyond what human strength could withstand!

"I, Wang Shan, will come and meet you!"

Wang Shan roared. As a martial artist, he could not endure seeing the other side insult Wang Feng's corpse, even though one of his hands was injured.

"Don't! Brother Wang, your hand is injured. You'll be at too much of a disadvantage." Lord Sun hurriedly grabbed Wang Shan.

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

Everyone's eyes turned toward Tang Jie. Wang Shan, the refined man, and the others had strange gleams in their eyes. This black-clad young man looked only about twenty years old. He was tall and broad-shouldered, clearly someone who practiced martial arts.

Yet there were several first-rate martial artists present, and Lord Sun wanted Tang Jie to act. Did he think this young man was even stronger than these first-rate martial artists famous throughout Fengyue City?

"Why does Lord Sun think so highly of this young man? He's practically begging him to act. Could he be... a cultivator?"

Wang Shan and the others secretly wondered. Sun Tielong himself was a centurion of Fengyue City, with tremendous status and authority. He was also a transcendent first-rate martial artist. Yet before Tang Jie, he acted as though he were discussing things with an equal and was extremely respectful. This stirred something in Wang Shan and the others' hearts.

They felt Tang Jie might be a cultivator. Otherwise, Lord Sun would not behave this way! But hadn't they said earlier that no cultivators would be accompanying this operation?

"Fine."

Tang Jie's answer was concise. He stepped out from the crowd and walked calmly toward the distant Bearded Man. The Bearded Man was very tall and broad, but Tang Jie was in no way inferior to him.

"He's going to make his move!"

Excitement filled Sun Tielong's eyes as he stared intently at the center of the field.

Tang Jie, whose strength was unfathomable and could even be called the strongest martial artist Sun Tielong had ever seen, was about to act. Sun Tielong focused all his attention on him, his heart pounding.

Sun Tielong had not personally witnessed Tang Jie slay the Du Tang Three Fiends, three transcendent first-rate experts, but the feat had nevertheless shocked everyone and completely robbed their group of the courage to resist. Tang Jie's strength was beyond imagination. What would happen when he faced this Blood Cloud Bandit who seemed almost inhuman? Sun Tielong did not want to miss even a second!

"He's walking straight over?"

The Bearded Man slightly furrowed his brows. Tang Jie had actually walked straight over. The Bearded Man did not think Tang Jie was a fool who would still be so careless after seeing Wang Feng slain.

"But... die!"

The Bearded Man growled and chose to attack first. He stamped down with one foot, gripped his huge axe in both hands, and roared as he swept it horizontally. The horizontal slash covered a wider range and was harder to dodge. The Bearded Man knew that his strengths were power and speed. He faintly sensed a subtle aura of danger from Tang Jie and did not dare be careless, unleashing his full strength!

Tang Jie's gaze remained calm. In his eyes, the Bearded Man was far too weak—he was not even a martial artist at all. The reason he had been able to kill Wang Feng was his overwhelming strength, strength like that of a demonic beast. But it was useless before Tang Jie!

Whoosh!

The axe tore through the air as it came slashing down. Yet a chilling blade light suddenly flashed through the air!

"Clang!"

Tang Jie's palm pressed against the hilt. The blade slid from its sheath with a crisp, melodious ring that was both pleasant and deadly.

"Crack!"

The fleeting cold light collided head-on with the descending axe. Amid a crisp shattering sound, the enormous axe, weighing a hundred pounds, seemed to have been struck by thunder. It cracked apart with a splintering roar, its heavy body cleaved to pieces!

"Pfft!"

The Bearded Man's pupils contracted. He felt a slight chill at his neck as the cold light skimmed past.

"Clang-clatter!"

The broken, bloodstained axe fell to the ground.

"How... could this be?" The Bearded Man stared at Tang Jie and spoke with difficulty, his eyes filled with disbelief. With his body reborn through transformation, far beyond the human race and nearly comparable to a demonic beast, he had not even seen how Tang Jie had drawn his blade!

Tang Jie stood where he was, his palm still resting on the hilt, as though he had never made a move at all!

"Thud!"

The Bearded Man opened and closed his mouth. A line of blood appeared across his neck, and blood sprayed forth. His head rolled silently onto the ground, his eyes still wide open.

"Who is next?" Tang Jie looked at the dumbstruck group of Blood Cloud Bandits opposite him and asked coldly.

"One blade... he killed the one who killed with an axe... The Blood Cloud Bandit who slew Wang Feng with one axe was killed by one blade?"

The refined man holding the folding fan widened his eyes, seeming almost unable to speak coherently.

"Someone from the Blood Cloud Bandits... is dead? In the past month and more, the Blood Cloud Bandits haven't suffered a single casualty!"

The soldiers grew so excited that their bodies trembled.

The Blood Cloud Bandits had brought tremendous fear to Fengyue City. The fundamental reason was that Fengyue City's army had clashed with them several times, yet the results had been the same every time: their own side suffered heavy losses and was beaten into fleeing in disarray, while the Blood Cloud Bandits had not lost a single person. Every one of them was as powerful as a nonhuman creature.

Some soldiers even suspected that these Blood Cloud Bandits might possess immortal bodies. Otherwise, how could one explain not a single casualty among them after so many battles?

But now, the Blood Cloud Bandits' legend of immortality had been shattered before their eyes. That black-clad young man had casually killed a Blood Cloud Bandit with one slash, just as easily as squeezing an ant to death. No one had even seen the blade!

As for Wang Shan, when he looked at Tang Jie's tall back, his body suddenly trembled. He seemed to see Tang Jie's back merging with another wild, fierce silhouette!

"Bull Devil King... you're the Bull Devil King!"

Wang Shan cried out, his slightly aged face losing its composure.

Wang Shan was the leader of Fengyue City's Iron Palm Gang and was himself nearly at the level of a transcendent first-rate martial artist. He had once heard of the deeds of the undefeated king Bull Devil King, who had appeared in Lingyue City. More than a year ago, he had hurried to Lingyue City, wanting to see whether the so-called Bull Devil King truly deserved his reputation.

As it turned out, Wang Shan had personally witnessed Bull Devil King easily shatter an enemy's shield by striking it with his blade. That made Wang Shan understand that Bull Devil King truly deserved his title as the undefeated king. Not only was his saber technique godlike, but his internal cultivation was definitely far above Wang Shan's own, perhaps having reached the Refining Qi into Gang realm.

Wang Shan had admired him immensely and had very much wanted to discuss martial arts with him. But afterward, he heard that Bull Devil King had become a wanted criminal and vanished without a trace!

Wang Shan had never expected to encounter Bull Devil King under such circumstances. Although he had never seen Bull Devil King's true appearance, Tang Jie's terrifyingly powerful slash instantly reminded him of the Bull Devil King who had left such a deep impression on him!

"Bull Devil King... he's the Bull Devil King?" The other martial artists were also stunned. No wonder Sun Tielong thought so highly of this young man.

Because he was none other than Bull Devil King, known as the undefeated king, who had defeated cultivators and slain demonic beasts!
