Chapter 103: Slaughter In The Dark Night
Boom!
As the banquet table piled with meat and alcoholic beverages split in two, the brightly lit hall suddenly fell silent. One after another, Great Ape Gang elites over two meters three tall all turned to look at Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang, whose height was not even one meter seventy.
Even the Ape Race youths gnawing on lamb legs who had just been teasing Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang let their lamb legs fall to the ground and roll several times, completely shocked by that single slash.
Blade light!
For those who wield blades, this is a power they dream of mastering, yet it was now in the hands of a young girl of the human race. And with a casual strike from three meters away, the alloy dining table was sliced in half as if it were tofu. If this got out, probably no one would even believe it.
However, before the six Great Ape Gang elites present could recover from their shock, they saw Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang’s battle saber sweep out again. This time it was no longer a vertical slash, but a horizontal slash.
Suddenly they saw a cyan blade aura like a waning moon sweep across the entire hall, like ripples spreading over water, echoing through the room.
This move was also a Martial Artist-level Martial Skill created by Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang by combining a mental secret technique with the Prairie Fire Spear Technique.
Boundless New Moon!
By compressing internal force on the weapon, its maximum attack range could reach six meters, and the power of the blade light could erupt with double the strength, a true large-area monster-grinding divine skill.
“Dodge!”
No one knew which Great Ape Gang elite shouted, but only then did everyone come back to their senses and hurriedly evade.
But their speed was half a beat too slow. Of the Great Ape Gang members preparing to throw themselves to the floor, apart from the three whose reaction speed was extremely fast, everyone else present was cut in two, dyeing the entire hall blood-red.
“Who exactly are you?” The oldest Great Ape Gang elite watched this scene, picked up an A6-grade battle axe beside him, and asked in an icy tone, “To dare do this in our Great Ape Gang headquarters, do you have a death wish?”
As for the other two surviving elites, they immediately ran to the weapon rack, taking up spears and battle sabers, staring in high alert at the human woman before them who looked like a demon.
With a single move she had taken away more than ten lives. The three Advanced Apprentices who had been joking before were now dead beyond dead; even if they wanted to laugh, they could no longer laugh.
But Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang did not respond to that Great Ape Gang elite. She only blocked the only exit and entrance, holding her battle saber horizontally.
“Who am I?” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang rolled her eyes at the three Great Ape Gang elites. “You still can’t see? I’m here to collect your lives, of course.”
“Collect us? Just you, an Advanced Apprentice?” The oldest Great Ape Gang elite laughed. “This is the core area of our Great Ape Gang. The surroundings are full of our experts. You made such a big commotion; you really think you can still leave here alive?”
The other two Great Ape Gang elites came to a sudden realization after hearing this. Their hearts steadied somewhat, and their gaze toward Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang held less fear as they began to laugh as well.
A human Advanced Apprentice; those two earlier moves had indeed startled them. But this was the Great Ape Gang headquarters, the central area, and those living in the surroundings were all Great Ape Gang experts. Such a commotion would definitely draw them over.
Now that they had weapons in hand, they only needed to stall for time. When hundreds of experts arrived, they refused to believe they could not take down a human girl.
Yet before the three could enjoy their laughter for long, they heard shouts of killing from beyond the doors, along with the booming crashes of heavy impacts on houses.
“Enemy attack!”
“Hurry, someone! Several human experts have rushed in. The people from squad fifteen and squad twenty-seven can’t hold them much longer; we urgently need support!”
The cries for aid outside made the three Great Ape Gang elites in the hall change expressions drastically. They had not expected that those attacking the Great Ape Gang were not just one person.
“It has already started?” After hearing this, Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang spoke helplessly. “Brothers, looks like my aggro-drawing plan is ruined. I have to speed up on my end, so I won’t explain in detail. I’ll just show everyone how to simply use internal force in battle.”
“First, after you grasp internal force, you attach it to your weapon, treat the weapon as part of your body, and let the force flow through it. That way, with weapons of the same grade, it becomes very hard for enemies to block. I’ll demonstrate for you now.”
“Who is she talking to?” The oldest Great Ape Gang elite looked at Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang talking to the air, puzzled. “Is she planning to use us as test subjects?”
“Most likely this human woman is insane. Fortunately, her brain is not normal. Even if she has blade light, she probably cannot unleash her full strength. We should quickly join forces to drive her out of the room. Fighting in such a confined space is too unfavorable for the three of us.” The Great Ape Gang elite beside him, holding an A6-grade battle saber, suggested in the Ape clan language.
But just as this young Great Ape Gang elite finished speaking and before the other two could reply, Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang used Leopard Shadow Steps and appeared before the oldest Great Ape Gang elite holding the battle axe, and her battle saber slashed down fiercely.
“Want to kill me first? Not that easy!”
The oldest Great Ape Gang elite seemed prepared. His A6-grade battle axe swung horizontally to meet the strike.
Bang!
Because both sides were too fast, neither used Martial Skills in this exchange. It was pure strength clashing against strength.
The other two Great Ape Gang elites were no ordinary people either and charged almost instantly. But before they could take a step, they saw the A6-grade battle axe behave like a tin sheet, slowly being cut through by that battle saber, then sliced clean in two along with the oldest elite himself.
“How is this possible!”
The two young Great Ape Gang elites stared, their faces full of confusion and terror. They could not understand how a B2-grade battle saber could be this sharp, to the point that an A6-grade alloy battle axe could only block for a fleeting instant.
“Run!”
“We are not her match. We must call reinforcements!”
Seeing their companion fall, the two young Great Ape Gang elites instantly understood. This human woman might be mentally unsound, but her strength was truly terrifying. They were no match for this crazy goddess; they were simply not on the same level.
The two immediately pivoted and charged for the doors. Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang reacted quickly and caught up at once, a flash of blade light cutting down one of them. But the other had already fled more than twenty meters away; catching up would take some time.
“Damn it, have the intelligence levels of these normal monsters been raised?” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang watched the fleeing Great Ape Gang elite and could only give up. She then glanced at the young elite she had just killed, eyes lighting up. “Not bad. At least I got an A6-grade battle saber I can use. From now on I won’t need to borrow a suitable weapon from the Martial Arts Hall for battle.”
After this young Great Ape Gang elite rushed onto the street, before he could catch his breath and celebrate escaping the demon’s palm, he saw, not far away, more than twenty Great Ape Gang apprentices from two teams besieging a human woman.
That human woman held two A6-grade long swords, with three more swords floating around her, one of which was a B2-grade long sword. Facing the siege of more than twenty people, she handled it with ease. From time to time, that B2-grade long sword would strike from an impossible angle and take the life of a Great Ape Gang expert, forcing the two teams to continually retreat while shouting for aid to the surroundings.
But their calls for aid received no response. On the contrary, more than thirty Great Ape Gang members running in from another street did not spare them a glance and rushed directly toward the three-story building of the headquarters.
“What are you doing? Hurry and help us!”
“Help? You should run too. The devil behind us is about to break through. We have to go ask the Vice Gang Leader for aid now. If you don’t run, it’ll be too late.”
With that, the fleeing Great Ape Gang members ignored the teams begging for support, leaving those facing the enemy feeling these people were spouting nonsense. Clearly they were the ones fighting the devil; where else could there be a devil?
But before these battle teams could finish complaining, they saw two figures darting swiftly along another street. Buildings along their path collapsed with thunderous crashes, and sword marks several meters long appeared on the ground from time to time.
Only when the two figures briefly clashed and separated did the Great Ape Gang members present clearly see them.
One was a human woman. The other was a masked Great Ape Gang member in A6-grade battle armor. The two were like giant beasts; the commotion from their clash was like artillery fire, nothing like a fight between normal people.
“Am I dreaming? What kind of monster is that human woman to fight to a standstill with a lord wearing A6-grade battle armor?”
The many experts rushing from the Great Ape Gang core to provide support were all stunned at this sight.
A human Limit Apprentice could single-handedly fight against A6-grade battle armor, even if she held a B2-grade long sword. It was still unbelievable, especially since the masked senior official’s two hand axes were also B2-grade weapons.
Only when another Quasi-Martial Artist in A6-grade armor, with qi and blood surging skyward, arrived to help, did they, in a two-on-one, manage to suppress the human woman. And even then, they only barely suppressed her.
“Grenta, what exactly is going on?” Vice Gang Leader Noco, who had rushed in to support, stared fixedly at the human woman and quietly asked the masked Ape Race youth beside him.
“Uncle, I’m not entirely sure.” The masked Ape Race youth Grenta spoke quietly in the Ape clan language. “While on patrol I heard cries for aid, so I came to help and ran into this expert from the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. From what I know, our base has been attacked by Obsidian Martial Arts Hall at more than ten locations. Calls for help are everywhere.”
“Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is attacking us? How dare they?” Vice Gang Leader Noco was stunned, thinking his nephew was joking. But seeing the human woman before them in a silver-gray long-sleeved T-shirt, even if he did not want to believe it, the facts were clear. He quickly asked, “Do you know how many they sent?”
“I don’t know.” After widening the distance from Luo Wu Shang, Grenta shook his head slightly. “But along the way I’ve already seen over a hundred of our apprentices dead. The resting senior officials have all taken people to support the defenses. I believe we can stabilize the situation soon.”
It was easy to distinguish Great Ape Gang apprentices from ordinary people. The apprentices’ clothes were more advanced; they generally wore A4-grade armor, recognizable at a glance.
“More than one hundred apprentices dead?” Vice Gang Leader Noco’s face turned ashen. He glared at the suppressed Luo Wu Shang and roared in the human language, voice filled with icy fury, “Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, how dare you attack our Great Ape Gang! Not one of you will leave alive!”
Since establishing their headquarters in the wilderness, the Great Ape Gang had seldom been attacked. To lose over one hundred people in a single assault had not happened in more than a decade, let alone over one hundred apprentices.
And this attack had been launched by a newly risen gang with only a bit of fame in the wilderness.
Humiliation.
Absolute humiliation.
This humiliation could only be washed away with the blood of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
As soon as Noco finished, he moved in coordination with Grenta to kill Luo Wu Shang on the spot.
But before Noco could strike, one figure after another appeared on the nearby rooftops, silently watching. Luo Wu Shang and Grenta, who had been locked in a fierce struggle, immediately pulled apart.
“Vice President, do you need help?” Zhao Hu glanced at Grenta and Noco on the street and asked quietly.
Yi Ye Fu Yun, who had rushed over, chuckled and said, “Sister Wu, that’s not kind of you. You ran into the main targets and didn’t even send a signal.”
