"Bull Devil King? Could it be... that wanted criminal, Bull Devil King?"
The other soldiers also looked at one another, stunned by Tang Jie's formidable strength and shocked by his identity. Sun Tielong had actually found a wanted criminal to help them?
Under normal circumstances, everyone would surely have rejected him, but now they were delighted. Having such a powerful martial artist on their side was enough to make them feel fortunate!
"Good!"
Sun Tielong clenched his fists, his face brimming with excitement. Bearded Man possessed immense strength. Even he, a first-rate martial artist, would not find it easy to defeat Bearded Man in a direct confrontation. Yet Tang Jie had killed him as easily as killing an ant!
"Seventh Brother... is dead?"
Only then did the Blood Cloud Bandits react. Over the past month, they had gone through more than one bloody battle, but this was the first time they had suffered casualties.
"Chief, he's Bull Devil King... a very powerful martial artist!" the sharp-chinned Blood Cloud Bandit hurriedly told their leader.
The wild man narrowed his eyes. Although he had never heard of any Bull Devil King, he knew this was no simple character!
"Fourteenth Brother, you go. You're a martial artist too, and you've undergone a complete transformation. Even a first-rate or superior martial artist wouldn't be your match!"
After a long silence, the wild man spoke.
"Good!"
A slightly stooped, triangular-eyed man walked out from among the Blood Cloud Bandits.
"Brat, I'll make you go down and keep Seventh Brother company!"
The triangular-eyed man stared at Tang Jie. Blood glinted in his pair of vicious, triangular eyes.
Tang Jie merely looked at him calmly. In his eyes, the triangular-eyed man was already a dead man!
"Kill!"
The triangular-eyed man suddenly barked. He drew two blades from his waist. Each was more than three feet long, and as he abruptly charged forward, the twin blades in his hands lashed out like a raging storm!
Clang, clang, clang!
Too fast!
Blade light filled the sky. Every slash cleaved through the air with a cracking sound. His attacks seemed completely chaotic, yet they sealed off every avenue Tang Jie could use to dodge, and each strike carried astonishing force.
The triangular-eyed man had originally been a second-rate martial artist. Recently, he had undergone a complete transformation, gaining speed and strength approaching those of a monster. His power had skyrocketed severalfold, and he believed that even so-called first-rate martial artists would not be his match!
"Swish!"
The sound of something tearing through the air rang out. The triangular-eyed man froze. He saw a streak of cold light slice through like a thin thread, silently severing both arms wielding the blades at the elbows. They fell to the ground.
Immediately afterward, a wound appeared across the triangular-eyed man's neck. His head rolled away, and his body crumpled limply to the ground.
"Too many flourishes." Tang Jie shook his head. The triangular-eyed man's speed and strength were indeed outstanding, but unfortunately, he did not seem to be a truly formidable martial artist. His blade technique was far too flashy and had too many openings. Against a martial artist like Tang Jie, it was practically the same as baring his neck and letting Tang Jie cut it.
"Fourteenth Brother!"
The group of Blood Cloud Bandits stood dumbfounded. The triangular-eyed man had ranked among the strongest of them, yet just like Bearded Man before him, he had been killed in an instant?
"Strong! Far too strong!"
Wang Shan and the other martial artists flushed with excitement. Tang Jie had cut down two of their opponents in succession without even breaking a sweat!
"I have a rough understanding of your level now. To be honest... I'm very disappointed."
Tang Jie looked at the group of Blood Cloud Bandits before him and spoke.
If anyone else had said this, it would have sounded incredibly arrogant. But when Tang Jie said it, it seemed perfectly natural. It was not that these Blood Cloud Bandits were weak—it was that Tang Jie was simply too powerful!
Every one of these Blood Cloud Bandits possessed speed and strength far beyond ordinary people, seeming like humanoid monsters. Ten ordinary men together would not be able to defeat any one of them. But to Tang Jie, they could still be cut down effortlessly with a single slash. There was no difference!
The wild man's lips twitched slightly, his teeth grinding loudly. He shouted furiously, "All of you, attack! Tear him to pieces!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Blood Cloud Bandits dragged afterimages as they pounced from all directions. Their faces were twisted with savagery, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, and they moved so quickly that ordinary eyes could barely follow them.
They did not believe that Tang Jie could face an attack from all directions merely because he drew his blade quickly!
Red Sun Art!
Seven or eight Blood Cloud Bandits surrounded him. Yet the moment they entered within ten feet of Tang Jie, crimson light erupted from his body—the Boyhood Art's Red Sun Art!
"Ahhh!"
In the dark forest, the qi Tang Jie released was practically a sun. These Blood Cloud Bandits could see through the darkness, possessing exceptionally sharp eyesight, but the sudden burst of blazing red light made them scream. Their eyes seemed about to go blind, plunging them into brief darkness.
"Swish!"
At that very moment, Tang Jie moved. Qi condensed along his blade, and blade light spewed forth. He shifted his feet slightly and followed through with a slash, the stroke forming an elegant arc!
Splurt, splurt, splurt!
Amid a string of tearing flesh, the seven or eight Blood Cloud Bandits only regained their vision after quite some time. But what they saw were their own headless corpses lying on the ground.
Grrrrumble!
Seven or eight heads rolled across the earth, like balls scattered all over the ground.
Tang Jie's cultivation was profound. The blade qi he unleashed could kill enemies within ten feet!
Tang Jie moved his feet and walked toward the dozen or so Blood Cloud Bandits who remained.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The sharp-chinned Blood Cloud Bandit shrieked hoarsely. The blood-red little monkey perched on his shoulder let out a screech and suddenly pounced at Tang Jie.
Although the blood-red little monkey was only the size of an ordinary cat, it was extraordinarily vicious. Razor-sharp claws, like tiny knives, tipped both its forepaws as it clawed at Tang Jie's face.
The blood-red monkey's claws were coated in deadly poison. Anyone scratched by them would have their muscles rapidly rot away. The poison was exceedingly vicious.
"Pfft!"
However, before the blood-red monkey could approach within six feet of Tang Jie, a streak of blade light flashed. Its body split apart and dropped to the ground without even having time to cry out.
"Little Red! I'll fight you to the death! To the death!"
The sharp-chinned man let out a shrill, mournful scream.
The sharp-chinned man had originally been a monkey trainer, and he and the blood-red monkey had depended on each other for survival like family. Now, after witnessing the little monkey's death, he charged at Tang Jie without regard for anything, intending to drag him down with him!
"Swish!"
Tang Jie turned slightly, avoiding the sharp-chinned man's pounce, while simultaneously drawing his blade with the speed of lightning and sweeping it across the man's neck.
Carried forward by inertia, the sharp-chinned man ran several more steps before crumpling limply to the ground. His head rolled beside the blood-red monkey's body, which had been split in two.
"Compared to the Blood Cloud Bandits... he's the one who looks more like a monster!"
As they watched Tang Jie walk step by step toward the Blood Cloud Bandits, a flash of cold light would appear and another Blood Cloud Bandit would fall to the ground without suspense. Many soldiers swallowed hard, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
The Blood Cloud Bandits killed people and ripped out their hearts, and with twenty or thirty men they could rout hundreds of elite soldiers. They were as powerful as monsters. But compared to the Blood Cloud Bandits, Tang Jie looked even more like a monster!
When these savage Blood Cloud Bandits encountered Tang Jie, it was practically like mice running into a cat. The moment they approached within several yards of Tang Jie, death awaited them!
Chopping melons and slicing vegetables—that was the only thought in the minds of all the Fengyue City soldiers who witnessed this scene.
This battle was taking place on an entirely different level!
