Chapter 241: [196] Murder and Arson, a Gold Belt, Superb Skills with Blade (Seeking Monthly Passes, Recommendations, and Support)_2
 

And not far behind, the sound of wild beasts gnawing on corpses could quickly be heard.

Pei Jinye was holding a self-made simple map in his hand, and soon arrived at a gully according to the map.

Within the gully, Pei Jinye suddenly encountered a team of people.

A line of thirteen men.

Each person’s attire revealed the seasoned toughness of those who had spent a long time journeying through the mountains and forests.

Opposite him, the bearded burly man suddenly noticed the knife in Pei Jinye’s hand, and his expression instantly turned cold.

A low voice from within the crowd said, “Kui Zi and Star Child should have arrived.”

“Isn’t the knife Kui Zi just snatched exactly the same as the one in that man’s hand?”

A lean young man beside the bearded burly man suddenly charged out like a swift gust of wind.

As fast as lightning, with a forceful sprint.

In almost an instant, he had rushed from thirty meters away to right in front of Pei Jinye.

He threw a punch!

The force of the punch!

With this punch, carrying the ferociousness of a fierce tiger, a loud shockwave echoed through the mountains and forests.

However, at the moment when the punch shadow enveloped Pei Jinye,

a brutal blade light flashed by in an instant.

The lean young man who had just dashed up to Pei Jinye froze, his expression stunned as his forward-charging body stiffened in place.

The people behind did not understand what had happened.

The next second.

Thump.

The young man’s body fell to the ground, scattering dust everywhere. A frighteningly bloody wound appeared on his throat, and blood quickly spread out around him, forming a pool.

On the face of the burly man in the distance, there wasn’t a hint of emotion; he just commanded coldly, “Kill him!”

Over a dozen figures rushed out decisively.

Facing the enemy with no relaxation in their guard, for those who lived on the edge of the blade… as soon as they struck, they had to ensure the enemy was thoroughly dead!

Especially since Xiao Wu had just died before their eyes.

But at the very moment they made their move, at the instant Xiao Wu fell—

The mysterious swordsman opposite them had already acted.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone.

With a loud rumble, the mountains and forests let out an earth-shattering boom.

Pei Jinye bent forward, his whole body and blood energy wildly and fiercely boiling, without any hesitation.

His purpose for coming here was simple…

And so, anyone who stood in his way had to die!

Under an unstoppable terrifying force.

The ground trembled!

At the same time, as Pei Jinye exerted his strength, the blood water, dirt, and even the gravel under his feet shot up into the sky.

In the eyes of the dozen plus full-fledged members of the Simon Association, the forest in front of them, looking like ruins, was completely covered by surging blade light. It was like a sea of despair, roaring with a terrifying momentum to crush everything as it slashed down!

“Dodge!”

Witnessing this scene, the bearded man’s eyelids twitched wildly, and he immediately roared in anger.

And the more than ten members of the Simon Association who had charged up felt their scalps tingle as they scattered in panic.

While retreating rapidly, their hand-held firearms simultaneously spit out flames.

In an instant, the thick fog in the area that was completely dispersed was now only filled with the oncoming fierce blade light and the interwoven web of gunfire.

Bang bang bang bang!

Trees were felled, and waves of dust were kicked up.

Just as everyone thought that the mysterious swordsman was about to perish in the gunfire, the bearded man’s expression suddenly changed!

“Where is he?”

The figure of Pei Jinye had suddenly disappeared from their vision.

But the next second, an even more dazzling flash of lightning surged from within the group of people!

He stood there, cold and indifferent like the god of death, mercilessly unleashing a fierce and blinding blade light from his hand.

Within a radius of ten meters, it as if had turned into a human purgatory at that moment,

various limbs were flung about, and a mist of blood spread wide.

Having a beard covering his jaw, he widened his eyes, full of shock and awe.

What kind of monster was this?

He couldn’t care less about the battle anymore and started to run for it as he bulldozed through.

Pei Jinye drew his sword and cut off the last head, then looked towards the direction where the bearded man was escaping. The next second, the bushes at his feet shook, and his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

“Puchi!”

The bearded man’s run froze on the spot, his eyes filled with despair as he looked down at the tip of the sword protruding from his chest, followed by a hand clamping around the back of his neck.

“Into dreams!”

“Just an ordinary person?”

“What a waste of my time!”

Pei Jinye’s face was expressionless, and with an effortless swipe, the bearded man’s head soared high into the air without a single word of superfluous chatter.

He bent down to collect the resources on the corpse.

Pei Jinye then returned to the previous battlefield… soon after, a bulging bag appeared behind him, containing two hundred thousand in cash, over thirty different types of wild medicinal herbs, and some gold and silver jewelry.

Even Pei Jinye couldn’t help but be amazed; no wonder people say “Murder and arson, gold belt”.

The speed of making money indeed was fast.

However, if one were to hit a snag, they would merely benefit their opponent for nothing… like the Simon Association running into Pei Jinye.

In the wilderness, the code of conduct was always either you kill me or I kill you… Since Pei Jinye had come, he didn’t plan to delay, aiming for a quick and decisive battle!

About twenty more minutes of moving forward.

Pei Jinye arrived at the front of a large mountain, at the waist of which two mountains seemed to join together, revealing a huge gap.

The surface of the mountain was smooth and looked difficult to climb.

Ordinary people would probably find it hard to get close and discover its secrets, but as soon as Pei Jinye approached, suddenly a black figure flashed past him with astounding speed.

Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.

The place had indeed been exposed!

Yet, what surprised him even more was that the other’s speed was even faster than his!

As they passed by each other, that person arrogantly looked back at Pei Jinye and made a throat-slitting gesture with a thumb-down sign.

Pei Jinye had just unsheathed half of his sword when the other party suddenly sped up and vanished on the spot in a puff of smoke.

This speed talent!

Pei Jinye’s eyes gleamed as he was about to give chase.

“Puchi!”

Just then, a muffled sound came from halfway up the mountain, followed by a corpse rolling down.

The body was none other than the black-clothed man who had provoked him earlier.

“What a pity.”

Pei Jinye abruptly blocked with his horizontal knife, and with a “clang” sound amidst a shower of sparks, a hidden weapon was knocked away. Pei Jinye didn’t even give the other a chance to speak and chopped towards a large tree halfway up the hill.

“Bang!”

The tree exploded from the middle.

The figure behind the tree, with eyes full of terror, had his chest directly pierced through.

Pei Jinye didn’t so much as glance at the corpse and turned his head to the uncertain figures in the far distance behind him, “Scram!”

The person said nothing, retreated quickly, and fled outright.

Pei Jinye swept his cold gaze over the mountains and forests behind him, “Trash shouldn’t come out; there’s no fun in killing you.”

After saying that,

he flashed several steps and appeared at the entrance.

There, a burly man clad in a beast skin coat sat on the ground, curly hair that seemed unwashed for days covered half of his face.

Neatly laid beside him was a row of bloody heads.

“If you want to enter, you’ve got to pay! This is what happens to those who don’t pay!”

But what responded to him—

was a clean and decisive slice from Pei Jinye.

“If you’re going to kill, just kill; why bother talking!”
