Unrivaled

At dusk, a mysterious and uninvited guest arrived at the Blood Wolf Gang. With unfathomable and ghostly means, the stranger instantly killed a high-ranking member of the gang, remaining completely at ease even when surrounded by the gang's hall masters.

"Speak, who are you?"

Jin Biao glared at the mysterious figure with murderous intent, his face twisted in rage.

The mysterious figure did not utter a word, continuing to advance step by step.

As the third-in-command of the Blood Wolf Gang, Jin Biao was accustomed to having his way in Yan City, wielding power as he pleased.

Yet today, he was being ignored by a mysterious man in a straw cloak who had trespassed into the gang's territory. Unable to swallow this insult, he hoisted a heavy long blade and slashed toward the stranger.

Jin Biao's seemingly casual strike contained a tyrannical aura capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks; he was fully confident that even a powerhouse at the Origin Pellet Realm would be left wounded by such a blow!

However, things were destined not to go as he had planned. A surge of immense origin power erupted from the mysterious figure's body, forming an impenetrable defense around him.

"Bang!"

Jin Biao's blade struck the defensive barrier in front of the stranger, triggering a violent vibration of origin power that forced him to retreat several meters before he could steady himself.

Yet the mysterious figure continued to advance; Jin Biao's strike had not left even the slightest impact on him!

"Am I seeing things? He actually blocked Hall Master Jin's strike without a scratch!"

The disciples of the Blood Wolf Gang wore expressions of astonishment, though they did not take it too seriously. After all, in their eyes, that strike had been nothing more than a casual move from Jin Biao, and blocking it was no great feat.

"This person's strength is extraordinary."

Yue Shan stood by the window, having clearly witnessed the scene, his expression grave.

Unlike the disciples, this leader of the Blood Wolf Gang had long since noticed the anomaly. He could see that Jin Biao's strike had not been casual at all, but a full-powered blow—yet it had been blocked with such ease, even sending Jin Biao reeling back several meters!

Looking at the mysterious figure, he remained unscathed, not even lifting a single finger. Relying solely on his vast origin power to block Jin Biao's strike was truly terrifying.

In the courtyard, Jin Biao cast aside his arrogance, watching the approaching stranger with a solemn face. He poured his origin power into his blade like a raging flood, causing the edge to shimmer with light. A sharp blade aura emerged, increasing his power several times over in an instant.

"Void-Shattering Blade!"

With a roar, Jin Biao slashed fiercely into the void. In an instant, the strike transformed into ten blade lights that seemed to tear through space, leaving visible trails in the air.

"It's actually the Void-Shattering Blade technique!"

Yue Shan stared at the ten blade lights, his shock impossible to conceal.

This Void-Shattering Blade technique was a Grade Five martial art and one of Jin Biao's trump cards. Its ten blade lights possessed immense power; every time it was unleashed, it was guaranteed to kill, and even Yue Shan felt wary of it.

"Now, I am quite curious to see how you will block this."

Yue Shan smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the mysterious figure with a hint of anticipation.

"To use a blade technique to such an extent is indeed surprising, but it is a pity that you have encountered me!"

The mysterious figure's voice remained cold. Facing the ten blade lights, his tone held no panic; he was utterly composed.

At that very moment, the blade lights descended, striking the defensive barrier with a screeching sound.

"Hmph, no one has ever been able to block my Void-Shattering Blade. I don't care who you are—today, you die!"

Seeing the mysterious figure make no attempt to dodge, Jin Biao sneered, his mouth filled with mockery.

"Fool!"

As the word fell, a streak of green light pierced through the ten blade lights like a fired arrow, flying toward Jin Biao with savage force!

Jin Biao's relaxed heart tightened once more. He tried to parry with the back of his blade, but his arm was severed along with the weapon!

"Ah!"

As the searing pain struck, Jin Biao let out a series of screams, cold sweat pouring down his face.

With his blade shattered and the blade aura vanished without a trace, the mysterious figure continued his advance.

The ease with which Jin Biao had been defeated filled the Blood Wolf Gang disciples with terror. Having lost all courage to fight the stranger, they retreated one after another.

"Stay your hand, Excellency!"

Four figures bypassed the crowd and quickly arrived before the mysterious figure, their faces grim.

"Hall Masters!"

The Blood Wolf Gang disciples were overjoyed to see these four.

These four were the hall masters of the other four halls of the Blood Wolf Gang, excluding Jin Biao. Their strength was also at the Origin Pill Small Perfection, though they were significantly weaker than Jin Biao.

"Step aside. You are not the ones I am looking for."

The mysterious figure did not stop, though his pace slowed slightly.

"To trespass into our Blood Wolf Gang and act so arrogantly—you truly do not hold our Blood Wolf Gang in any regard!"

As hall masters of the Blood Wolf Gang, the four had never been treated this way, and they were filled with suppressed rage.

"Blood Wolf Gang? Mere gravel—how could you ever be worthy of my notice!"

The mysterious figure showed his disdain, flicking his hand to send several streaks of green light shooting toward the four hall masters.

Facing the attack, the four dared not be careless and joined forces to block it, yet they still failed. They were sent flying several meters back, coughing up blood.

The four hall masters had attacked simultaneously, yet they could not withstand a single move from this mysterious figure. This was something everyone in the Blood Wolf Gang found impossible to accept, yet they had no choice but to face the reality.

"It seems I must take action myself, otherwise the prestige of the Blood Wolf Gang will be utterly swept away."

Yue Shan naturally saw the change in the Blood Wolf Gang disciples, and his heart grew incredibly heavy.

Judging by the way this mysterious man in the straw cloak had just fought the five hall masters, his strength had likely reached the Grand Perfection of the Yuan Dan realm; apart from him, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, no one else could halt his advance!

"You have watched for so long, are you not coming down yet?"

The voice reached Yue Shan's ears, causing him a slight shock before he leaped down.

"It's the leader!"

Seeing the newcomer, the members of the Blood Wolf Gang regained their confidence and grew excited.

Yue Shan frowned as he glanced at the five severely wounded hall masters and said indifferently, "Take them to be treated!"

"Yes."

Over a dozen Blood Wolf Gang disciples stepped forward, lifted Jin Biao and the others, and carried them toward the gang's medical station.

"You must be the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, Yue Shan."

The mysterious man in the straw cloak paid no heed to the five hall masters being carried away, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Yue Shan and spoke.

"The Blood Wolf Gang does not seem to have offended you, Excellency. Why come here to cause trouble?"

Yue Shan stared coldly at the mysterious man in the straw cloak before him and asked in a frigid voice.

"Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion!"

The mysterious man in the straw cloak uttered these three words calmly, yet they caused Yue Shan's expression to shift!
