Chapter 118: The Tears of a Man
The three men surrounded Yun Yi in a triangular formation, and terrifying spiritual power surged in the darkness, illuminating the area around them.
"Kill."
Someone shouted loudly, raising their War Weapon high, its cold light shimmering as they struck at Yun Yi first.
Yun Yi’s black hair danced in the wind, his expression cold. The moment his opponent moved, Yun Yi moved as well. He thrust his sword with incredible speed, piercing through his opponent’s body before the large blade could even fall.
They were on completely different levels, not even in the same league.
After killing one man, Yun Yi quickly withdrew his sword, shifted his body, and appeared next to another man. The cold light flashed, and the man screamed as his head fell to the ground.
Fresh blood sprayed high, creating a beautiful yet tragic color in the dark night.
Swish!
Yun Yi waved the sword again, cutting off the last person’s wrist, and with a turn of the blade, it was now against that person’s neck.
Ah…
A sharp cry pierced the night, startling a few black crows in the sky as they flapped their wings and scattered.
"No, don’t kill me, please don’t kill me."
The man in black was terrified, begging for mercy repeatedly. He shook with fear, almost dropping to his knees before Yun Yi. This boy, with only the strength of the fourth grade of the Innate Realm, was truly frightening, even more so than a demon.
Looking at the scattered bodies on the ground and the pungent smell of blood in the air, the man in black felt overwhelmed by endless fear and a glimmer of hope, momentarily forgetting the intense pain from his severed hand.
Only when facing death can one truly understand how terrifying it is.
Killing and being killed are always two completely different feelings, on two opposite ends.
"Young master, can I have this person to kill?"
Hu Quan walked over and said to Yun Yi with great seriousness.
"Okay."
Yun Yi sheathed his long sword, but his powerful aura still surrounded the man in black, giving him not a single chance to escape.
Yun Yi could see the endless killing intent and hatred in Hu Quan’s eyes; his heart was filled with hate with no way to release it. He could feel that tragic sentiment, as he remembered how his thirty-six guards had all died at the hands of assassins in Marquis Yang Mansion, and his mood was no different.
"Thank you, young master."
Hu Quan clasped his fists towards Yun Yi and then turned to look at the man in black. At this moment, Hu Quan’s eyes looked like they were about to bleed, his chest heaving, a tremendous killing intent bursting forth from him, spreading throughout this forest shrouded in darkness.
"Don’t kill me, I know I was wrong. I can take you to save your granddaughter."
The man in black begged for mercy.
"It was you who killed my three companions and took away my only eleven-year-old granddaughter. How can I ever forgive you?"
Hu Quan gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his sword high. At that moment, his wounds seemed to heal significantly, and the power of the sixth grade of the Innate Realm was fully revealed. His sword hummed with energy, and killing intent gathered around him.
Hu Quan shouted loudly, bringing his sword down from above, cleaving the man in black in two, killing him instantly.
Faced with Hu Quan’s vengeful strike, the man in black, overwhelmed by Yun Yi’s pressure, couldn’t even dodge and met his end under Hu Quan’s sword.
After killing the man in black, Hu Quan suddenly wept tears of sorrow, looking up to the sky and letting out a roar.
He was not fooled by the black-clad man’s false promise of saving his granddaughter, for he knew very well that his granddaughter had already been imprisoned in the City Master’s mansion and that the man in black could not help him at all.
Kill one person, release one grudge!
After the kill, Hu Quan felt a large amount of energy leave his body, and he collapsed to the ground.
Hu Quan’s sword was thrown aside, and he knelt with his hands on his head, burying his face in his knees, crying loudly.
Yun Yi stood beside Hu Quan without saying anything, simply waiting for Hu Quan to finish expressing his feelings.
Crying is an immense luxury for a man, and tears are even more precious.
Especially for an elder who has lived for so long.
Hu Quan cried with deep sadness, his heart aching.
Nothing tugs at the heart more than a man crying.
Hu Quan’s tears showed that his mental defenses had completely broken down. One could imagine the terrible experiences this elder had endured— a kind of despair that felt hopeless, as if no help would come from above or below.
The sturdy man, now an elder, fully revealed his vulnerable side.
After a moment, Hu Quan stopped crying. When he looked up, there were no tear stains on his face; before Yun Yi stood a strong elder.
Hu Quan slowly stood up from the ground and deeply bowed to Yun Yi.
"Please, rise, sir."
Yun Yi quickly reached out to support the old man.
"I have no way to repay your kindness, Young Master."
Hu Quan spoke, his emotions settling down, but the despair in his eyes was still very clear.
"If you have killed someone from the City Master’s house, it will soon be discovered. It’s not safe to stay here long; you should leave quickly and avoid getting caught up in the troubles of Jade Wheel City."
Hu Quan kindly reminded him.
"My name is Yun Yi. To be honest, I am a disciple of the Yanwu family. I was sent to Jade Wheel City to defeat Pan Hong, calm the chaos in Jade Wheel City, and save it from danger. As soon as I arrived, I saw you being chased, so I followed you."
Yun Yi did not hide anything and revealed his identity. Hu Quan was obviously a victim of Jade Wheel City, harboring deep hatred for the City Master’s house. By revealing his identity, Yun Yi made it easier to inquire about the situation in Jade Wheel City.
"Disciple of the Yanwu family."
Indeed, upon hearing Yun Yi’s identity, Hu Quan’s eyes instantly brightened. After all, in Xuanzhou State, the Yanwu family is very famous, and Jade Wheel City itself falls under their jurisdiction.
"Great, finally someone from the Yanwu family has taken action; someone is here to punish that devil Pan Hong."
Hu Quan seemed very excited, and his gaze towards Yun Yi was filled with admiration. He had watched the earlier battle closely; Yun Yi, with the strength of the fourth grade of the Innate Realm, effortlessly defeated a master of the sixth grade of the Innate Realm without breaking a sweat. Such extraordinary talent could only be cultivated by the Yanwu family.
"I am new to Jade Wheel City and do not understand the situation here, so I kindly ask you, sir, to explain the circumstances within Jade Wheel City to me."
Yun Yi asked.
"Has the Yanwu family only sent Young Master Yun alone?"
Hu Quan suddenly realized something.
"You don’t need to worry about that, sir. I have my own ways to deal with Pan Hong and to help you rescue your granddaughter on the night of the full moon."
Yun Yi’s presence suddenly changed, and an air of royalty spread around him.
