Chapter 120: Purge

  In the woods, a sudden and fierce attack came from above, making Lin's body tremble greatly!

  "Halt!"

  Xia Yan let out a loud shout, at the same time raising his right hand. He stopped over 100 guards. His eyes gleaming with sharp gaze, Xia Yan stared intently at a dense thicket hundreds of meters away. The killing intent just now was coming from that place.

  Moreover, the tiger's roar that shocked everyone just now also came from there.

  "What's wrong?" Xiahou Sheng looked at Xia Yan with a slightly tense expression.

  Xia Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, a thread of sharp light shot out from the half-closed eyelids, and the long sword in his hand was tightly grasped. "Chi Yan Hu, it is inside that thicket in front."

  Then Xia Yan turned around and said in a low voice to the crowd of guards, "Everyone be careful and prepared. If a large number of Red Flame Tigers rush out from the woods, don't panic."

  "Yes!" The guards all raised their weapons in unison and responded in chorus.

  The man with a sissy face in the crowd had an iron-green complexion. His small eyes flashed with tension, his hands tightly grasping an ordinary green steel long sword, and his teeth chattered loudly.

  ”

  The tiger's roar was like a crack of thunder, as if it would tear the sky apart. Although they were hundreds of meters away, the terrifying roar still made everyone's heart tremble with fear. Fortunately, they were all cultivators; if ordinary people were here, they might have been scared to the point of being unable to stand upright, let alone fight against this fearsome Red Flame Tiger.

  At this time, the sky had gradually brightened up, and the rising sun was hanging on the mountain top, just like a huge red fireball.

  ”

  "Only"

  In the jungle, several tall trees made a loud noise, and everyone saw that a small piece of dense forest was shaking violently. Then, a red fireball flew out from the dense forest, "Dong Dong Dong" heavy footsteps, quickly approaching towards everyone.

  Xia Yan's eyes suddenly focused, and his entire body's aura changed in an instant. The internal energy within him was rapidly circulating and flowing, and a faint humming sound like the gentle flow of water could be heard from the meridians in his body.

  Xiahou Sheng stood beside Xia Yan, and after being shocked by the appearance of Chiyan Huo, he looked at Xia Yan's transformation in surprise. The originally ordinary young man seemed to have turned into a proud killing god standing between heaven and earth! The long sword in Xia Yan's hand was like an invincible heavenly sword.

  "Ah,"

  In sync with the circulation of her inner energy, Xia Yan took a deep breath.

  The Red Flame Tiger is rapidly approaching. Although the speed of the Red Flame Tiger can't compare to that of the Phantom Wolf, it's still much faster than ordinary beasts. Xia Yan's line of sight has been following the body of the Red Flame Tiger as it moves.

  In the blink of an eye, Chi Yan Hu had already sprinted over a hundred meters, getting closer and closer to the crowd.

  All guards, grip your weapons tightly. Prepare to strike at any moment!

  "It's okay, only one Flame Tiger appeared!" Xia Yan's heart slightly stirred, his body slightly bent down, just like a large bow, his toes digging into the ground and making a small hole.

  "Kill!"

  Xia Yan let out a cold shout, and his body shot out like an arrow off the string. Everyone felt their eyes blur for a moment, and Xia Yan's figure vanished from where he was standing. When they looked again, Xia Yan had already flown tens of meters away.

  At such a speed, an afterimage was left in the air, and ordinary people's eyes couldn't keep up with Xia Yan's speed.

  "Xia Yan is taking action, be careful!" Xia Hou Sheng was shocked and lost his color. He didn't expect Xia Yan to rush out directly. Logically speaking, such things should first be handled by the guards to block the ferocious Red Flame Tiger. But this Xia Yan took action himself and rushed out.

  In case Xia Yan had an accident, it would be terrible. Xia Yan was the executive sent by the headquarters of the Xia family, and if he died in Huangye Town, the town head would bear a great responsibility.

  ”

  ”

  One man, one beast, collided with each other in an instant. The long sword in Xia Yan's hand was like a white light, accompanied by a series of explosions, stabbing towards Chi Yan Hu at an incredible speed. And Chi Yan Hu, also raised its double claws, lifted the front half of its body high, and pounced on Xia Yan at full speed.

  ”

  Xia Yan kicked off the ground, taking four steps in mid-air and skillfully avoiding the direct collision with Chi Yan Hu's crimson body. This was not Xia Yan's first battle with a wild beast; although he couldn't be said to have rich experience, his mind was clear.

  This ability to tread in the air, even if it were a spiritual master, I'm afraid many people would not be able to do. Xia Yan was able to do so, completely relying on his mysterious and unpredictable body method.

  Witnessing Xia Yan's display of strength, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

  A flash of sword light, Xia Yan's long sword had already fiercely stabbed into Chiyan Hu's throat.

  This kind of eyesight is not something that ordinary people can possess. To know, the Red Flame Tiger was currently in mid-air, pouncing down with a speed so fast that if there was even a slight moment of hesitation, it would be impossible to hit it. But Xia Yan's strike was incredibly precise.

  When commonly stabbing into the Flame Tiger's throat, Xia Yan also felt a slight resistance, however, afterwards still smoothly stabbed into the Flame Tiger's throat.

  "This sharp sword is indeed handy. I should also find a blacksmith to forge a weapon soon." His body slowly fell down. Xia Yan thought to himself, while putting the long sword back into its scabbard.

  ”

  A stream of blood shot up several meters high.

  The scarlet flame tiger's body shook violently, its entire red fur standing on end as it let out a mournful screech. The copper bell-like eyes revealed a pained gaze, and its front claws dug heavily into the ground.

  "Boom"

  The ground shook violently. The Scarlet Flame Tiger, weighing over 800 pounds, was slammed to the ground, its body convulsing for a moment before finally coming to a complete stop.

  "Hoo-hoo"

  Until Chiyanhu's death, everyone still couldn't believe it.

  That ferociously violent and abnormally brutal Scarlet Flame Tiger was killed with just one sword strike? The footsteps from earlier that seemed to be treading on clouds, how were they used?

  And then there's that astonishing speed, it seems even faster than Akainu!

  The eccentric man stood in the crowd with his mouth agape, staring incredulously at Xia Yan standing beside the corpse of Chi Yan Huo. The shock in his heart was simply indescribable.

  "This this"

  The eccentric man couldn't utter a single word. However, he really couldn't believe his eyes anymore.

  "Town Lord, have the corpse of Chi Yan Hu taken back. This is quite valuable." Xia Yan sheathed his long sword and lightly laughed as he spoke to Xia Hou Sheng who was still in a state of shock.

  Upon hearing Xia Yan's voice, Xia Hou Sheng's body shook and he woke up with a start, letting out a dry cough. He hastily said: "Yes! Yes! I'll have someone carry you back right away."

  As he spoke, Xiahou Sheng ordered two guards to step forward and carry the body of Chi Yanhu back to the town hall. The strength that Xia Yan had just displayed made Xiahou Sheng deeply understand why his family had sent this young executor here to clean up the beasts.

  Although this Flame Tiger weighs eight hundred kilograms, for a cultivator who has opened up dozens of martial meridians, it's still something that can be easily carried by one person.

  "The manor is still five miles away. Along the way, we may encounter many wild beasts, so everyone must be careful and on guard." Xia Yan's eyes flashed once again as he spoke to the crowd.

  Next, the crowd encountered many more wild beasts. However, even the strongest among them was far inferior to the Scarlet Flame Tiger. Every time a stray beast appeared, it would be killed by the guards using their combined strength and weapons.

  After a while, everyone entered the Xia family's manor area.

  The wooden fence surrounding the manor had long been destroyed into fragments. The cultivated land inside the manor was also trampled into a mess.

  "Wah wah"

  ”

  Rumbling

  The roars of various beasts rose and fell in succession!

  The farmers who were originally working in the manor had already escaped. Under so many beast attacks, if they didn't run, they would definitely die. Even cultivators couldn't withstand so many beasts.

  Xia Yan jumped onto a relatively high boulder and looked into the distance. In the five Xia family manors, there were not a few wild beasts wreaking havoc everywhere.

  "Damn it, these detestable beasts!" Xiahou Sheng's heart ached as he gazed at the scene before him, clutching the Lei Gong hammer in his hand.

  "They will be leaving soon." Xia Yan took a look at Xia Hou Sheng, and pulled out the map that Xia Hou Sheng had drawn last night. Comparing it with the terrain of the surrounding manor, Xia Yan knew the approximate location of the Phantom Wolf. As long as they could kill or drive away the Phantom Wolf, these wild beasts would no longer be a concern.

  "It should be in the dense forest three miles north of Zhuangguo." Xia Yan thought to himself.

  The Phantom Wolf is a very cunning beast, generally speaking, it will not rush to the front of other beasts. Moreover, it will not often change its hiding place. Once it finds that there is a danger that can threaten it, it is likely to choose to escape at the first time. Of course, finding it is not so easy either.

  "Everyone, I'll leave these beasts to you." Xia Yan stood on the giant stone, turning around. His eyes shone with a sharp light as he spoke.

  ”

  Then Xia Yan jumped down from the boulder. He put the map back into his collar, took a deep breath, and quickly rushed northward.

  "Xia Yan is going to get himself killed! Where are you going? That's where the beasts gather!" Xia Hou Sheng saw Xia Yan rushing towards the area dense with wild beasts and immediately opened his mouth wide in anxiety, shouting loudly.

  "Shadow Wolf!" Xia Yan said without turning his head.

  Only said these three words!

  Xiahou Sheng's heart tightened as he stared at Xia Yan's back, dazed and spaced out for a long time before regaining his composure.

  "This is really courting death!" After a while, Xiahou Sheng could only helplessly mutter in a low voice. At this time, Xia Yan's figure had already gradually disappeared into the north, his speed was incredibly fast. With each blink of an eye, he would dash out dozens of meters.

  The town master's legs went soft with a strange and eerie feeling, seeing Xia Yan leave, he finally stood up and called out to Xia Hou Sheng in a trembling voice.

  Xiahou Sheng glanced at him and coldly snorted: "Raise the weapon in your hand, aim it at these beasts."

  "Brothers, follow me!"

  The closest wild beast to everyone was over 200 meters away, which was a black red-faced violent bear.
