Cutting the Gordian Knot With a Swift Blade!

"Bull Demon King? Could it be... that fugitive, the Bull Demon King?"

The other soldiers exchanged glances, shocked by Tang Jie's power, but also surprised by his identity. Sun Tielong had actually brought a wanted criminal as a helper?

Normally, they would have been wary, but now they were overjoyed. Having such a powerful martial artist on their side was enough to make them feel fortunate!

"Good!"

Sun Tielong clenched his fists, his face filled with excitement. That burly man was incredibly strong. Even he, a super first-rate martial artist, would not have an easy time defeating him. Yet, Tang Jie had killed him as easily as swatting a fly!

"Seventh brother... is dead?"

Only then did the Blood Cloud Bandits react. They had experienced more than one bloody battle in the past month, but this was the first time they had suffered a casualty.

"Leader, he's the Bull Demon King... a very powerful martial artist!" the sharp-faced, sallow-skinned bandit quickly told their leader.

The wild-looking man narrowed his eyes. Although he hadn't heard of the Bull Demon King, he knew this was no ordinary individual!

"Fourteenth, you go. You're also a martial artist, and you've undergone metamorphosis. Even first-rate or super first-rate martial artists won't be your match!"

After a long silence, the wild-looking man spoke.

"Alright!"

From among the Blood Cloud Bandits, a slightly hunched man with triangular eyes stepped forward.

"Kid, I'll send you to accompany Seventh brother!"

The triangular-eyed man stared at Tang Jie, his fierce, triangular eyes shooting out a bloody glare.

Tang Jie merely looked at him calmly. In his eyes, this triangular-eyed man was already dead!

"Kill!"

The triangular-eyed man let out a low cry and drew two sabers from his waist. Both sabers were over three feet long. He suddenly charged forward, his dual sabers slashing out like a stormy downpour! Chish chish chish!

Too fast!

The air was filled with saber light, each strike cutting through the air with a shattering sound. It seemed chaotic, but it blocked all of Tang Jie's possible evasion paths, and the power behind each strike was astonishing.

The triangular-eyed man was originally a second-rate martial artist. Recently, he had undergone metamorphosis, gaining speed and strength close to that of a Demonic Beast, his power increasing manifold. He was confident that even so-called first-rate martial artists would not be his match!

"Chish!"

A sound of cutting through the air rang out. The triangular-eyed man froze. He saw a cold glint, like a fine thread, slice through. Silently, the triangular-eyed man's saber-wielding arms were severed at the elbows and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, a wound appeared on the triangular-eyed man's neck, his head rolled off, and his body slumped to the ground.

"Too many unnecessary movements," Tang Jie shook his head. The triangular-eyed man's speed and strength were indeed outstanding, but unfortunately, he didn't seem to be a particularly formidable martial artist himself. His saber techniques were too flashy and full of openings. Facing a martial artist like Tang Jie, it was like leaving his neck exposed for Tang Jie to cut.

"Fourteenth!"

The group of Blood Cloud Bandits was stunned. The triangular-eyed man was among their strongest, yet like the burly man before him, he was killed in an instant?

"Strong! Too strong!"

Wang Shan and the other martial artists' faces flushed with excitement. Tang Jie had killed two opponents in a row without breaking a sweat!

"I have a general understanding of your skill level. To be honest... I'm quite disappointed."

Tang Jie looked at the group of Blood Cloud Bandits opposite him and spoke.

If anyone else had said this, it would have sounded arrogant, but coming from Tang Jie, it seemed natural. It wasn't that the Blood Cloud Bandits were weak, but rather that Tang Jie was overwhelmingly powerful!

Each of these Blood Cloud Bandits possessed speed and strength far exceeding that of normal humans, like humanoid Demonic Beasts. Ten ordinary people tied together couldn't defeat any one of them. However, for Tang Jie, they could still be easily killed with a single blow; there was no difference!

The wild-looking man's mouth twitched slightly, his teeth grinding. He roared, "Attack together! Tear him to shreds!"

Shu shu shu!

The Blood Cloud Bandits moved, leaving trails of afterimages as they pounced from all directions. Their faces were contorted with ferocity, their eyes bloodshot, and their speed was so great that ordinary eyes could barely track them.

They didn't believe Tang Jie could be fast enough with his saber to deal with such a pincer attack from all sides!

Red Sun Art!

Seven or eight Blood Cloud Bandits surrounded Tang Jie. However, as soon as they approached within three meters of him, a crimson light erupted from Tang Jie's body. It was the Boyhood Art, Red Sun Art!

"Ahhh!"

In the darkness of the forest, the gang qi Tang Jie unleashed was like a sun. These Blood Cloud Bandits could see in the dark and had excellent eyesight, but this sudden, intense red light blinded them, causing them to cry out and suffer temporary blindness.

"Chish!"

At this very moment, Tang Jie moved. His saber blade condensed with gang qi, and saber light spewed forth. He shifted his feet slightly and unleashed a saber strike that formed a beautiful arc!

Pfft pfft pfft!

Amidst a series of tearing flesh sounds, the seven or eight Blood Cloud Bandits took a while to regain their vision. But when they did, they saw their own headless corpses lying on the ground.

Gurgle gurgle!

Seven or eight heads rolled on the ground, like a pile of balls.

Tang Jie's cultivation was profound, and the saber energy he unleashed could strike enemies within three meters!

Tang Jie began to walk towards the remaining dozen or so Blood Cloud Bandits.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced Blood Cloud Bandit shouted in a shrill voice. The small, blood-red monkey perched on his shoulder let out a screech and suddenly lunged at Tang Jie.

Although this blood-red monkey was only the size of an ordinary cat, it was exceptionally fierce. The tips of its two monkey claws were as sharp as small knives, and they raked towards Tang Jie's face.

The blood-red monkey's claws were laced with potent poison; upon being scratched, muscles would rapidly rot. It was incredibly vicious.

"Pfft!"

However, before the blood-red monkey could get within two meters of Tang Jie, a flash of blade light appeared. The blood-red monkey's body was split in two. It fell to the ground, unable to even let out a scream.

"Little Red! I'll die with you! I'll die with you!"

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man let out a piercing shriek upon seeing this.

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man was originally a street performer who trained monkeys. He and this blood-red monkey had relied on each other, treating it like family. Witnessing the little monkey's death, he charged at Tang Jie without regard for his own life, wanting to drag Tang Jie down with him!

"Chiii!"

Tang Jie slightly shifted his body, evading the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man's charge. At the same time, he drew his blade with lightning speed, the edge grazing the man's neck.

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man, carried by his momentum, ran a few more steps before collapsing softly to the ground. His head rolled to the side, landing next to the corpse of the blood-red monkey, which had been cut in half.

"Compared to the Blood Cloud Bandits... he's more like the monster!"

Watching Tang Jie walk step by step towards the Blood Cloud Bandits, a flash of cold light, and another Blood Cloud Bandit would fall to the ground without suspense. Many soldiers swallowed hard, their eyes filled with shock and dread.

The Blood Cloud Bandits killed people and took their hearts, and with twenty to thirty of them, they could defeat hundreds of elite soldiers. They were strong like monsters, but compared to the Blood Cloud Bandits, Tang Jie was even more monstrous!

These ferocious Blood Cloud Bandits were like mice encountering a cat when faced with Tang Jie. As long as they got within a few meters of him, their fate was death!

Cutting through them like vegetables – this was the only thought in the minds of all the Fengyue City soldiers who witnessed this scene.

This was a battle on completely different levels!
