Destruction

Above the headquarters of the Wild Wolf Gang, a man and a beast hovered silently in the air, their cold gazes looking down upon the members of the gang with utter indifference.

"It's that Origin Pellet Realm expert! Quickly, go inform Elder Huang!"

Chen Long recognized the man wearing the ghost mask standing atop the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon at a single glance; his face turned deathly pale, and his voice trembled.

It wasn't just Chen Long who recognized Lin Ge; those who had been with him during the day recognized him as well. Their expressions were filled with terror, and without waiting for Chen Long to finish speaking, they scrambled toward Elder Huang's residence.

Lin Ge did not stop them, nor did he continue his attack, simply waiting silently for Elder Huang to arrive.

Seeing that Lin Ge had ceased his assault, Chen Long let out a sigh of relief, secretly marking this grudge in his heart to be repaid at a later date.

Before long, Elder Huang appeared in Lin Ge's line of sight, surrounded by several Wild Wolf Gang disciples.

"Hmm?"

Elder Huang revealed a look of surprise, his gaze fixed entirely on the demonic beast beneath Lin Ge's feet.

"A Demon Flame Emperor Dragon! And a juvenile one at that!"

Elder Huang was secretly shocked, then shifted his gaze to Lin Ge.

Lin Ge was shrouded in a black robe, his face obscured by a ghost mask, yet Elder Huang could still discern the man's extraordinary nature. In particular, the way his eyes looked down upon the world with disdain placed a subtle pressure on Elder Huang's heart.

"Why has Your Excellency come to the Wild Wolf Gang to act so recklessly?"

Struggling to steady his mind, Elder Huang asked in a cold voice.

Lin Ge glanced at Elder Huang, a trace of disdain appearing in his eyes.

"So you are the Origin Pellet Realm expert of the Wild Wolf Gang? You are even weaker than I imagined."

Being mocked to his face in such a manner, Elder Huang's expression turned completely grim, and he remained silent.

"Elder Huang, he is the Origin Pellet Realm expert behind Li Quan!" Seeing Elder Huang's dark expression, Chen Long sneered inwardly and hurriedly shouted.

"Noisy!"

Lin Ge extended a finger, and a wisp of cyan sword intent shot from his fingertip, aimed directly at the center of Chen Long's brow.

"Elder Huang, save—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the sword intent pierced through the center of Chen Long's brow, leaving behind only a tiny, bloody hole.

Chen Long's eyes remained wide open as he collapsed to the ground, fresh blood slowly trickling from the small wound...

Lin Ge's display shocked everyone present; even Elder Huang was stunned by the sudden strike, taking a moment to regain his senses.

"To kill Chen Long right before my eyes, Your Excellency is being far too excessive."

Having regained his composure, Elder Huang's expression grew even uglier. He knew that if he did not act now, the remaining Wild Wolf Gang disciples would be of no use to him in the future.

Thus, Elder Huang no longer concealed his aura, releasing it to its full extent.

"Origin Pill Small Perfection? What a waste."

Lin Ge smiled disdainfully. Xiao Zi understood his intent and suddenly spat out a mouthful of flames, shooting them toward Elder Huang.

Elder Huang's expression shifted slightly. His hands did not remain idle; he formed a complex hand seal, and streaks of azure light gathered in his palms.

"Chi Ice Palm!"

As he struck out with his palm, a chilling, sinister aura permeated from his palm, meeting the ball of purple-black flames.

Although fire suppressed water, Elder Huang was not afraid, for his Chi Ice Palm was a Fourth-Grade martial art of immense power.

Regrettably, he had severely underestimated Xiao Zi's flames. His near-full-power strike could only barely hold off the scorching fireball, and within moments, his aged face was drenched in sweat.

In the end, Elder Huang managed to hold on, but his internal origin energy was mostly exhausted, leaving him panting and pale.

"Your Origin Pellet Realm cultivation seems to be a hollow title; are you really this weak?"

Lin Ge was somewhat surprised. He truly had not expected that this Origin Pill Small Perfection elder would struggle to block even a single fireball from Xiao Zi. He began to doubt whether this man was truly an Origin Pellet Realm expert.

In truth, Elder Huang was indeed a genuine Origin Pellet Realm expert, but his origin pellet was of the lowest grade—a First-Grade Origin Pellet. Thus, his strength was far inferior to Lin Ge's; even having reached the Small Perfection of the Origin Pellet Realm, he remained quite weak.

"I had intended to play with you a while longer, but it seems there is no need. You and everyone in the Wild Wolf Gang can be buried here together."

As his words fell, Lin Ge raised his right hand and extended two fingers. Cyan sword qi surged outward like a gale, and the energy of heaven and earth gradually merged into the sword qi. In the blink of an eye, the entire Wild Wolf Gang headquarters was shrouded in Lin Ge's sword qi, leaving no path for escape.

For a moment, the members of the Wild Wolf Gang were thrown into a panic, desperate to flee, but Lin Ge's sword qi had already sealed the area; how could they possibly leave?

"Move aside, watch me!"

A high-ranking member of the Wild Wolf Gang refused to accept this and tried to force his way through the barrier of sword qi with a punch. Little did he know that not only did he fail to break the defense, but the sword qi immediately retaliated, shredding him into pieces!

Watching this scene, Elder Huang turned deathly pale and hurriedly knelt to beg for mercy: "Please, Your Excellency, spare my life! I am willing to offer all my savings—a total of 150,000 Pure Origin Stones!"

As these words left his lips, not only was Lin Ge shocked, but everyone in the Wild Wolf Gang was equally stunned.

Although the Pure Origin Stones and spiritual herbs collected by the Wild Wolf Gang over the years had all been given to Elder Huang, no one knew the exact figure. Hearing Elder Huang now, they realized just how many stones they had managed to accumulate in these few short years!

While shocked, the members of the Wild Wolf Gang also felt a surge of hatred, resenting Elder Huang for being so useless that he couldn't even defeat an early-stage Origin Pellet expert, forcing them to kneel and beg for their lives in the hope that Lin Ge would spare them.

Lin Ge looked down at the members of the Wild Wolf Gang kneeling on the ground, the disdain in his eyes deepening.

"The thing I hate most in this life is a spineless coward, so all of you must die!"

As he spoke, Lin Ge swung his right arm dozens of times in succession. Hundreds of sword beams appeared in the pitch-black sky, instantly illuminating the entire area.

Chi Ice Palm!

Elder Huang was not about to sit and wait for death; if Lin Ge refused to let him live, he would fight to the death, perhaps finding a chance to escape after all.

"Seeking your own demise!"

Lin Ge sneered, his figure shifting instantly as he vanished from Xiao Zi's back.

Lin Ge's sudden disappearance shocked Elder Huang, who hurriedly scanned his surroundings, yet failed to catch a glimpse of him.

By the time he turned back, a fierce sword aura had already struck; before Elder Huang could even unleash his Chi Ice Palm, the sword aura pierced his throat, leaving him collapsed on the ground.

Elder Huang's death struck further terror into the members of the Wild Wolf Gang; they scrambled in every direction to escape the sword aura, yet none could break free.

"Xiao Zi, send them on their way."

Lin Ge cast a pitying glance at the fleeing crowd, shook his head slightly, and spoke indifferently to Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi spat out another fireball, which shot toward the crowd with intense speed.

BOOM!!!

An explosion, accompanied by countless miserable screams, rang out through the silent night...
