Chapter 1549 - 1525: Blood Debt, Blood Payment

Yang Xiao struck down with another palm,

Yu Hai's body suddenly burst out from the mud pit, the black long sword in his hand emitted a violent killing aura, stabbing toward the massive palm print descending from mid-air.

With a "tear" sound, Yu Hai's longsword pierced through the huge palm print, flying out from the hole.

With a "boom" sound,

Yang Xiao's palm mark descended, killing everyone who wasn't slain with the first strike. He then flashed, flying toward Yu Hai, who was fleeing into the sky.

Yang Xiao's Earthquake Skill only exerted combat power at the Primary Level of the Emperor Realm, while Yu Hai was already at the peak of the Primary Level of the Emperor Realm, plus his divine weapon, enabling him to pierce through Yang Xiao's palm print and escape.

Having broken through the palm print, Yu Hai desperately fled into the distance.

He knew today was a failure.

He couldn't imagine that Yang Xiao's combat power was so terrifying, able to kill tens of thousands with a single strike. Even compared to the fifty thousand guards of Titan City who were also killed by Yang Xiao.

At this moment, Yu Hai had no other thought but to flee for his life, to escape from Yang Xiao's pursuit as quickly as possible.

A thunderous crash sounded behind him, and Yu Hai felt his entire body tremble. He unleashed a defensive light screen, turned around, and swung his black long sword at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was already in the Intermediate Realm of the Emperor Level, and with his unique genetic talent, his speed far surpassed Yu Hai's.

Yu Hai's longsword emitted a killing aura a hundred meters long, slicing through the void, and slashed fiercely at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao dodged in a flash, avoiding the killing aura of the longsword, and punched fiercely at Yu Hai.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Yu Hai's defense light screen shattered, his body flew backward hundreds of meters.

"Pfft!"

A line of blood spurted from Yu Hai's mouth.

Yang Xiao followed closely, delivering another punch,

"Boom!"

Yu Hai's body again flew forward, crashing directly into a distant small mountain.

"Boom!"

Yu Hai's body struck the peak of the small mountain, the massive impact almost completely shattering the mountain top, debris flying everywhere.

Yang Xiao immediately flew over, standing on the rubble of the mountain peak.

In front of him, Yu Hai lay in a crater on the mountain peak, covered in blood, looking up in horror at Yang Xiao.

"You, you, you are,"

"Yang Xiao!"

Yang Xiao looked coldly at the dying Yu Hai.

"To let you die with understanding, let me tell you, your younger brother Yu Tao and his fifty thousand guards have all been killed. The hundred thousand troops you brought, I will also annihilate, leaving none alive,

You may die now."

"You?"

Yu Hai's expression was complex, full of horror, helplessness, and regret, his eyes wide open, staring at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao lifted a finger, and a sharp killing aura instantly pierced through Yu Hai's head.

Yu Hai died in terror.

Elder Qi and Black Wood flew over and saw the dead body of Yu Hai in the crater on the mountain top, immediately feeling elated, finally releasing the frustration accumulated for over half a year.

"Good, finally vented my anger."

"Boss, the fallen brothers can finally rest in peace."

Elder Qi and Black Wood were so moved their eyes were moist.

Yang Xiao patted their shoulders.

"Cut off Yu Hai's head and find one of their guards to send it to Ba Tianhu."

Black Wood was overjoyed, laughed:

"Alright, Boss, I like this move of yours, hehe, I wonder how Ba Tianhu will feel when he sees Yu Hai's head."

Black Wood said, drew out a longsword, and with one stroke, chopped off Yu Hai's head, keeping it well in the space ring.

Elder Qi then said:

"Boss, of the hundred thousand guards Yu Hai brought, about thirty thousand remain, now surrounded by us and the Demon Beast Alliance, what should we do?"

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:

"I used to be kind, always leaving my opponents a way to live, but today I'll change that. I want everyone to remember that whether I'm home or not, anyone who dares to harm my brothers, I'll make them pay with their lives,

Kill them all!"

Elder Qi and Black Wood hesitated upon hearing this and said:

"If we kill Yu Hai's thirty thousand guards, perhaps thousands, even tens of thousands of us will die too."

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"Leave it to me."

With a flash, he flew toward the City of Hope.

At that moment, outside the City of Hope, more than thirty thousand of Yu Hai's guards were surrounded by a hundred thousand guards of the City of Hope and a hundred thousand demon beasts from the Dark Forest.

Last night, Yang Xiao had already contacted the demon beast leader Tyrannosaurus, who deployed a hundred thousand demon beasts overnight to ambush in the Dark Forest, ready to annihilate Yu Hai's guards today.

The remaining more than thirty thousand guards watched in horror as Yang Xiao killed seventy thousand troops with a single palm, each of them filled with fear and terror.

They also witnessed with their own eyes as Yang Xiao, with just a few moves, killed Yu Hai.

Black Wood led tens of thousands of guards from within the city, along with forty thousand guards who returned, and together with the Demon Beasts from the Dark Forest, they completely surrounded these more than thirty thousand people.

Flying Tiger, Suonan, Ma Kui, and others, without Yang Xiao's orders, temporarily did not know how to execute these people.

Yang Xiao flew into the sky.

Flying Tiger and others saw Yang Xiao and cheered together.

"Long live the boss!"

"Long live the City of Hope!"

...

The roar shook the heavens.

Everyone was worried about the outcome of today's battle, and no one expected it to be such a complete overwhelming victory.

No one believed it, but having witnessed it firsthand, they had no choice but to believe.

Yang Xiao raised his hands, and everyone immediately fell silent. The entire scene of more than a hundred thousand people became pin-drop silent.

"Brothers, tell me, isn't it these people who killed our brothers, robbed our city, and destroyed our homes?"

"Yes."

The crowd shouted in unison.

"What should we do in the face of our enemies?"

"Kill!"

The crowd's blood boiled, and their shouts shook the heavens.

The thirty thousand guards of Yu Hai heard this, were terrified, their legs trembled, and with a thud, they all knelt to the ground.

"Lord Yang, spare us!"

"Brothers, spare us!"

"We were forced by Yu Hai, and couldn't help it."

"We'll never dare again; we surrender, we surrender!"

...

Thirty thousand guards knelt on the ground, wailing.

Yang Xiao sneered,

"I know you are Yu Hai's Alliance Army guards and must obey Yu Hai, but the lives of my tens of thousands of guards and citizens truly perished under your hands,

blood must be paid with blood,

I can accept your apology, but the unjust spirits of my dead brothers, sisters, and elders cannot,

I want the entire Central Continent to know today,

anybody who dares to kill my brothers and sisters,

I'll take their life!"

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Yang Xia stood in mid-air and struck down with one palm.

Earthquake Skill!

A massive palm print perfectly covered the thirty thousand guards kneeling on the ground.

Flying Tiger and others had long retreated several hundred meters back with the guards.

"Boom!"

With another loud noise, the ground shook, mountains crumbled, and the earth split.

A massive palm print several meters deep appeared on the ground,

over thirty thousand guards were instantly killed by Yang Xiao, and the river of blood flowed.

The scene was dead silent.

Such a slaughter scene, it was everyone's first time witnessing it.

Whether it was Elder Qi, Black Wood, Flying Tiger, Xing Zhe, or ordinary guards, witnessing Yang Xiao's previous fierceness, all were trembling in their hearts.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was not only their boss but also a War God.

"Yeah!"

"Long live the boss!"

The crowd erupted with thunderous shouts.

Some people thought of their dead brothers, parents, and sisters, knelt on the ground, cried in pain, and prayed for their loved ones' souls to rest in peace.

Yang Xiao took a long breath and landed on the ground.

Elder Qi and others surrounded him.

"Boss, you were so amazing, we admire and respect you."

Yang Xiao said calmly,

"If it weren't for avenging my brothers, I wouldn't have opened the killing floor today. At the same time, I also want to warn everyone in the Central Continent that even if I'm not home, anyone who dares to bully my brothers and sisters, even if I'm left alone, I'll still avenge them."

"Boss, what do we do next?"

"Take fifty thousand guards to recover Shuize City, Cold Wind Valley, and Firebird City. Afterward, leave only ten thousand guards to defend each city, and all remaining personnel return to City of Hope."

Black Wood laughed:

"After this battle, even if we don't station a single guard in the other four cities, I estimate no one will dare attack again, haha, boss, you're amazing."
