C13 Sweeping Through the Blood Wolf Gang
Deep within the stronghold of the Blood Wolf Gang, Yang Rui gripped the Celestial Pike and cautiously skirted around the gang's warriors, making his way stealthily toward the study located at the far end of the imposing hall.
Soon, Yang Rui neared the study. The doors stood open, flanked by two elite guards. Inside, Zhao Kui, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, was seated, diligently reviewing documents and attending to the gang's affairs.
Realizing he could not get any closer to Zhao Kui undetected, Yang Rui wasted no time. He summoned his inner strength and executed a swift movement technique, covering several meters in a flash to reach the doorway of the study.
Without delay, Yang Rui unleashed the Tyrant's Halberd Technique. The Celestial Pike in his hands, with its razor-sharp edge and a roar akin to that of a tiger, sliced through the air. To the astonishment of the guards, it swept across their necks, severing their heads and drenching the ground in blood as they fell dead.
Like a bolt of lightning, Yang Rui charged into the study, the Celestial Pike poised to deliver a lethal blow to Zhao Kui.
Confronted with the abrupt assault, Zhao Kui's face contorted with shock. He quickly rallied his internal energy and countered with a Fire Palm strike towards Yang Rui.
"Shatter!" Yang Rui bellowed, his body's immense power coursing through him. The Celestial Pike met the oncoming Fire Palm head-on.
Boom!
In the ensuing thunderous clash, the Celestial Pike, brimming with formidable force, obliterated the Fire Palm, reducing it to a shower of dissipating luminescent particles.
Undeterred, Yang Rui pressed on, the Celestial Pike slicing through the air towards Zhao Kui's head with lethal intent.
Feeling the overwhelming power of the Celestial Pike, Zhao Kui's face paled, and in a desperate move, he thrust his right arm up to shield his head.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the Celestial Pike in Yang Rui's grasp struck Zhao Kui's arm. The sharp edge, driven by a formidable force, severed Zhao Kui's limb, sending blood spraying in all directions.
As his arm intercepted the Celestial Pike, Zhao Kui's internal energy surged. He swiftly retreated several steps, widening the gap between himself and Yang Rui. His left hand shaped into a palm and he struck out at Yang Rui.
In an instant, a barrage of Flame Blades, each brimming with terrifying might, hurtled towards Yang Rui, threatening to shred him to pieces.
Confronted with the onslaught of Flame Blades, Yang Rui's expression hardened. He let out a roar and executed the Tyrant's Halberd Technique. The Celestial Pike in his hands spun like a tornado, smashing the Flame Blades into a shower of glittering fragments.
Yang Rui then closed in on Zhao Kui rapidly. His Celestial Pike, with its razor-sharp edge and fearsome power, descended viciously upon Zhao Kui.
Zhao Kui's face contorted in alarm as he faced the onslaught of the Celestial Pike. His internal energy welled up, and with his left hand aglow, he bravely met the Celestial Pike head-on.
Bang!
The sound of metal striking metal rang out as Zhao Kui's palm, as tough as stainless steel and filled with dreadful force, clashed with the Celestial Pike, sending sparks flying.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In that moment, Yang Rui drew three darts from his belt and, with expert precision, hurled them towards Zhao Kui's eyes and forehead.
Perceiving the immense force behind the darts, Zhao Kui's face turned pale. He quickly pulled back his hand to shield his face, deflecting the darts which then embedded themselves in the study's wall, leaving behind three small holes.
"Overlord Slash!"
Seizing the moment Zhao Kui was distracted by the darts, Yang Rui unleashed a thunderous roar. Power surged through his body as the Celestial Pike, charged with devastating force and a lethal edge, cleaved through Zhao Kui's waist. Blood gushed forth as a piercing scream echoed through the air.
After swiftly moving towards Zhao Kui's upper body, Yang Rui swung his Celestial Pike with lethal precision, decapitating him and causing his immediate death.
"Sect Master!"
"The Sect Master is dead!"
"We must avenge the Sect Master!"
"It was Yang Rui who killed the Sect Master! Together, we must take him down!"
"..."
The commotion drew the Blood Wolf Gang's warriors to the study, where they were met with the sight of Zhao Kui's mutilated corpse, prompting loud cries and shock from the crowd.
Amidst the clamor, several warriors from the Blood Wolf Gang channeled their internal energy and brandished their weapons, charging towards Yang Rui.
Unfazed by the onslaught, Yang Rui stood his ground, Celestial Pike in hand, ready to meet their attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of metal striking metal rang out as Yang Rui's Celestial Pike, with its formidable power, knocked weapons from the hands of the Blood Wolf Gang warriors, cleaving them in two and leaving them dead where they fell.
In mere moments, over a dozen elite warriors from the Blood Wolf Gang lay slain by Yang Rui's Celestial Pike. The remaining warriors, faces stricken with fear, halted their advance, no longer daring to confront Yang Rui.
Observing the hesitant warriors, Yang Rui let out a contemptuous snort, surged forward, and raised his Celestial Pike, ready to strike.
"Yang Rui is too strong. We need to escape!"
"Everyone, run for your lives!"
"The Sect Master is dead. We must flee!"
"..."
Confronted with Yang Rui's relentless assault, the Blood Wolf Gang warriors panicked, their faces filled with terror as they turned and scattered in every direction.
Witnessing their flight, Yang Rui remained expressionless as he swiftly overtook one of the fleeing warriors and bisected him with his halberd. The air was filled with the spray of blood and the warrior's agonized screams, spurring the others to hasten their escape.
Just then, Zhao Ann, his body wrapped in bandages, arrived with a contingent of Blood Wolf Gang elites. Upon seeing Zhao Kui's dismembered body inside the study, his face twisted in horror. With an icy tone, he commanded, "Kill Yang Rui!"
As Zhao Ann's voice trailed off, the dozens of elite Blood Wolf Gang members behind him let out furious roars. Brandishing their weapons, they charged toward Yang Rui.
Unfazed by the onslaught of the Blood Wolf Gang elites, Yang Rui moved swiftly to engage them. His Celestial Pike sliced through the air with lethal precision, sweeping toward the attackers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air rang with the sharp clinks of metal on metal as the weapons of the Blood Wolf Gang elites were knocked aside by the Celestial Pike. A fearsome power coursed through their arms, leaving them with a tingling numbness.
"Tyrant's Halberd Technique!"
Having flung the Blood Wolf Gang warriors aside, Yang Rui unleashed a ferocious roar and executed the Tyrant's Halberd Technique. The Celestial Pike, sharp as the reaper's scythe, cleaved through the elite warriors, cutting them in half and leaving them dead in their tracks.
In mere moments, over twenty Blood Wolf Gang elites lay dead. Panic flashed in the eyes of the remaining elites as they quickly deserted Zhao Ann, fleeing into the distance.
Witnessing the turn of events, Zhao Ann, his wounds still bound, paled dramatically. Terror flickered in his eyes as he turned to make his escape.
But Yang Rui, while sparing the others, was not about to let Zhao Ann go. Zhao Ann had barely taken a few steps before Yang Rui caught up with him. With a powerful thrust from behind, Yang Rui split him in two, ending his life instantly.
