Chapter 43

“Young master, what do we do now? Who are we hacking up?”

The gigantic Zhu Zi asked impatiently as he swung the two meters long saber around; after tasting the sweetness of fighting with such a fine weapon, he now became extremely excited and desperate for another battle.

The heavy titanium saber was no different from just an ordinary wooden plank in the hands of Zhu Zi, after all, he was a monster who could still walk freely while carrying prey weighing a few thousand kilograms on his shoulders!

But this idiot forgot that this saber was two meters long in length, so when he swung it around, he slammed the saber onto the others and he would’ve injured his own people if the armor was not strong enough….

Bai Yang stood at the front of the raft, his eyes stared deep into the water and his black windbreaker fluttered before the breezing wind, and that made him look particularly heroic….

He then pointed at the water right below his feet, and said, “We will stop here, spread across the river in a single line, and wait for those fools to come. When they arrive, we will mow them down like they are nothing, look here, there is only a way in, so this is where we will hold them off!”

The villagers all sweated for a second at what Bai Yang said and they all thought, And here we thought young master had a brilliant strategy, this is entirely the way of a street fight…..

The situation turned awkward for a while, making Bai Yang coughed a little, and pointed towards De Yang Town, “You have no idea of my wisdom, feel it, close your eyes and feel it….. What do you feel right now?”

Eh? What? Feel what? We felt nothing for sure…..

The villagers were dumbfounded…..

“You are really stupid! Can’t you feel that the wind is coming from Lost Forest and heading straight towards De Yang Town?” said an angry Bai Yang as he started pointing his finger and the nose of the villagers.

“Young master, what about that?”

Xiao Mao widened her eyes and asked, Young master said in such a mysterious yet advanced way, I don’t understand him, and neither did the others….

The fool flung his head, swinging his short bangs aside and said proudly as he pointed at De Yang Town’s direction, “Have you forgotten about the secret weapon I asked you to bring along with us? It’s time to use them now!”

Yes, a secret weapon, did you really think that a level 0 fool would actually dare to bring a bunch of level 1 newbies around, all equipped with top-tiered equipment? If he didn’t actually prepare another few more cards in his sleeves, he wouldn’t even leave the forest…..

As for his last ultimate move, it was him running away and returning after some time later for his revenge….

But that of course, was not going to be used, unless the situation was extremely dangerous and he had nowhere else to run anymore. After all, this move was definitely a move that would was tantamount to selling out his comrades….

Ehem, back to the topic.

Zhao Shi’s eyes turned sharp in a second, and he asked, “Young master, is the situation really that dire that we need to use that?”

“Zhao Shi…. Believe me, you’d want to use it if you wish to see everyone safe and sound,” replied a deadly serious Bai Yang.

Hmph, this move might be a little too dirty, but in order to prevent casualties while ensuring the enemies are wiped out, Bai Yang would do anything. As long as he could kill them all without hurting his people!

Zhao Shi nodded, and he shouted right away, “You heard the young master, now do as he said!”

Right away, the rafts separated from each other and stood aligned in a line. The long sticks used to push the rafts forward were stabbed deep into the river bottom through the holes on the rafts to anchor the rafts.

Anyhow, the water current was not strong so that would suffice.

The villagers then spread out on the rafts, the silver-grey titanium armor shone brightly under the sunlight, reflecting a blinding glint. On one hand was the saber, and the other was the secret weapon…

As for Bai Yang….

“Hey hey, come closer, yes, that’s right. Surround me when the bandits are here, Xiao Mao, you must protect me…..”

Life was not something to be messed with, as for ethics? Can it be eaten? The fool had a feeling that this incoming problem would be very very much more dangerous than the bandits before, so he figured that he would need to find himself somewhere safe first.

Humans had sympathy, and also a heart to wish for warmness for the world and what so ever, but there was a prerequisite, and that was that they were safe and sound. If they themselves were in danger, they would always protect themselves first…..

You say this is embarrassing? Stop kidding me, be it the superstars or the insanely rich businessmen, if they couldn’t even earn enough to care for themselves, do you think they would squeeze out money for charity?

“Why are they not here yet?”

Sometime later, Bai Yang reached his head around to scout for the enemies after failing to see anyone of them.

“Don’t worry, young master, if there are enemies behind us, this path is the only entrance, unless they like to play hide in seek in the Lost Forest with the poisonous insects.

Zhao Shi turned and replied to them as the forest dweller was the most familiar with the Lost Forest.

“Good.”

His worried heart was no more, he was afraid that the enemies would be as unethical as him that they would find a way to sneak up on them….

Without the enemies around, the fool couldn’t sit back and wait, so he started harassing Xiao Mao.

“Hey Xiao Mao, can you wear something else next time when we are out? Say… the clothes I brought you?”

“Why? It’s easier for me to protect you if I’m fully armored and equipped.”

“Why? Because if you are wearing armor, then I won’t be able to hug your warm and soft body.”

The fool said shamelessly.

“But I want to protect you, young master, if you want to hug Xiao Mao, you can hug me however you want in the village.”

Xiao Mao replied difficultly.

Bai Yang felt bored right away, there was no fun in disturbing Xiao Mao….

Hua lala—

The pace of the ripples changed all of a sudden, and that drew the attention of everyone.

The river was calm, so the only thing that could trigger this was someone was disturbing the water.

Far away, Bai Yang and the others could already see a few boats approaching swiftly, each and every one of the boat carried armed men in black, they were entirely covered in black shirt and clothes, revealing only their eyes that stared at them sharply.

“Here they come, young master.”

Zhao Shi retreated back to Bai Yang’s side, he could already tell that each and every one of the masked men was even more dangerous than the bandit leader they killed!

“Zhao Shi, see that? That branch, when they reach that place, use the secret weapon!”

Bai Yang pointed at the place somewhere 200m away and after that, he hid back into the iron wall formed by the guards.

“Understood.”

Zhao Shi nodded, but still standing beside Bai Yang.

There were three boats in total, about the size of 20m long and there were five paddles on both sides, granting them super speed.

At the boat at the center, there stood a masked man about 180cm tall, hugging a long sword in his arms and he looked towards Bai Yang and the others coldly.

When he saw Bai Yang and the others who were spread on the river, he mocked, “Never expected to see someone smart among you, but resistance is futile! You will only bring yourself an even more suffering death, my advice for you is to surrender, and I will give you a quick death….”

On the other hand, Bai Yang who stood among the people, managed to notice that the enemies had arrived at the spot he wanted them to be at. He ignored whatever the man said and shouted impatiently, “Quick, quick! Spread the powder, kill them all!”

Zhao Shi nodded, and said calmly, “Ready, throw!”

At least 30 villagers, each holding a bottle of infusion bottle in their hand, inside the bottles were brown color powder and under Zhao Shi’s command, they all threw the bottle towards the enemies.

“Boss, what are they doing? What is that? It can’t even kill a bird hahahahaha…”

The masked men all burst out laughing, and they did not even bother evading, as they could tell that the bottles would fly past them.

But at the next second, sharp noises sounded as arrows flew out from the ranks of the villagers, shattered the bottles right as they reached the top of the masked men.

Peng peng peng…..

After some glass crack, the whole area turned cloudy as the powder started spreading!

“Hahaha, now die! Do you think I’m going to go head-on against you? Let me treat you to a huge mushroom, wait, no, its mushroom powder!”

Bai Yang who stood among the villagers almost jumped up to celebrate.

After the powder spread around the masked men, then…. There was no more then.

When the powder spread, it covered a huge area and there was no way to run; even if they covered themselves entirely, and only exposed their eyes, but as long as the powder touched them, an eerie scene was made. The body of the masked men turned dry quickly and in only a few seconds, they all turned into “instant noodle”!

“Million Wither!”

The masked men leader’s eyes were filled with fear instantly, but three words were all he could say before he ended up like his comrades; his dried body fell onto the boat and poof, shattered into powder.

The remaining powder floated for some time, fell into the water, and right away, the water boiled and the steam slowly faded towards De Yang Town.

“Zhao Shi, are we done?”

Bai Yang asked.

Zhao Shi gulped, drenched in his cold sweat and struggled as he turned around, “Young master, we are all… done….”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go home! You can’t possibly wish to stay here overnight, do you?”

Said the frustrated Bai Yang.

“Okay…. Let’s go… go home…”

The black men approached quickly, but they died even quicker. In the end, their bodies were not even recovered as they sank deep into the river bottom after turning into powder; who wouldn’t be afraid of such an eerie and terrifying scene?

“Young master, is that why you want us to harvest the powder no wonder what?”

Xiao Mao looked at Bai Yang admirably.

“Of course, how can let such a good thing to slip past my palms, now you know how powerful I am? I defeated the enemies without shedding blood, let me tell you this, intelligence is oftentimes even stronger than pure strength alone.”

Said a proud Bai Yang as he valiantly tilted his head 45 degrees into the skies….
