Chapter 95 Midnight Ambush

At the speed of a sports car, Long Tian and Li Yue'er arrived at the outskirts of a rural area. Long Tian parked his car in an empty spot and stepped out, along with Li Yue'er.

Curiosity filled Li Yue'er's voice as she asked, "What exactly are we going to do here?"

Long Tian flashed a sly grin and replied, "This will be the perfect training ground for the art of combat and killing."

Li Yue'er fell silent, understanding the gravity of what Long Tian implied. She refrained from asking further questions and followed him into the forest area.

-------------

As they reached the edge of the forest, their path was obstructed by five soldiers.

"Stop! Where are you headed?" one of the soldiers, a burly man demanded.

Long Tian pulled out a golden medal and presented it to the soldier.

The soldier examined the medal carefully and was taken aback. This medal represented the highest military honor in the empire, granting access to restricted areas. Notably, the name "Long" inscribed on it was a clear indication of its owner's affiliation with the Long family, particularly Long Xuan, a renowned imperial general.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me your name?" he inquired.

"I am Long Tian, from the Long family," Long Tian responded.

The burly man nodded, realizing that his hunch was correct. He returned the medal to Long Tian and said, "Very well, I'm sure you can handle yourselves. Just be cautious; this forest is teeming with soul beasts and bandits."

"I understand, thank you," Long Tian responded.

After that, he and Li Yue'er ventured into the forest.

Long Tian could have easily entered the forest through another route, but he chose to enter through the path guarded by the soldiers. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

Not for any particular reason, but this part of the forest had less soul beasts.

The forest they ventured into was vast, covering millions of square kilometers and containing many uncharted areas due to their inherent danger. This made it an attractive hideout for high-level criminals and bandits.

After more than 30 minutes of navigating through the dense forest, Long Tian and Li Yue'er found themselves still surrounded by the vast wilderness.

Long Tian suddenly halted, prompting Li Yue'er to do the same. She inquired, "What's the matter?"

Without a word, Long Tian unsheathed his sword and thrust it forward.

Stab!

"Krrrrk!" a painful, guttural sound rang out, and a soul beast, a four-legged creature with thin fur and a terrifying face, with sharp fangs in its mouth, appeared.

Long Tian swiftly raised his sword and cleaved the creature in two.

Li Yue'er was surprised; she hadn't anticipated encountering an invisible adversary.

"What kind of monster is that, Long Tian?" she asked in amazement.

"It's a Nightwalker, proficient in camouflage and active at night. It's somewhat dangerous, but it can be good training," Long Tian explained.

He then retrieved another sword from his spatial ring and handed it to Li Yue'er, smiling. "Take this. If any more soul beasts appear, use it and kill them."

His face registered disbelief as he struggled to free himself, but the grip remained unyielding.

In the next moment, he was hurled backward, colliding with a tree.

Bang!

He lay there, immobile due to the strong aura's pressure.

A young man appeared before him from the darkness.

Meanwhile, Li Yue'er finally managed to break free from the oppressive gravitational force, gasping for breath.

"Come over here, Li Yue'er," Long Tian instructed.

She hurried toward him, "I'm sorry; I struggled to finish him off."

"It's not your fault. This guy is a bit stronger," Long Tian reassured her.

He then handed her the Uchigatana. "Now, finish him," he ordered.

Li Yue'er accepted the katana, her gaze fixed firmly on the incapacitated guard. As the guard trembled with fear, unable to speak under the pressure of the aura, Li Yue'er's gaze grew colder and more resolute.

With a swift motion, she thrust the katana into the guard's neck.

Stab!

The blade pierced through to the tree, and she cleaved the sword up to ensure the guard's demise.

As the aura's pressure dissipated, the guard slumped to the ground, lifeless.

Li Yue'er's hand trembled, struggling to come to terms with the act she had just committed.

Long Tian ran his hand through her hair and commended, "You did well. The first lesson is to ensure that you truly kill your enemy."

Li Yue'er managed a relieved smile, grateful for Long Tian's approval.

But at that moment, they heard approaching footsteps. They both turned to see five men rushing toward them.

"It seems the earlier commotion was too loud. We have no choice but to deal with them," Long Tian said.

As the five men drew closer, they were confronted by the sight of their fallen comrade, his head brutally split open.

"You bastard! What have you done to him?" one of them shouted in anger.

"Are you blind? We clearly killed him," Long Tian retorted, a hint of disdain in his tone.

"You! You'll pay for this. We'll avenge his blood!" the man declared with cruelty in his voice.

"I've never feared anyone," Long Tian replied, his demeanor ice-cold.

With lightning in his foot, he suddenly appeared right in front of the man. Dragon-like claws materialized in his hand, and in a swift, fluid motion, he raked them across the man's head.

Claw!

The man crumpled to the ground, a ghastly head wound sealing his fate.

The other four were taken aback by this gruesome scene. One of them yelled, "Be cautious! He's incredibly formidable! Don't let your guard down!"

They swiftly assumed defensive positions, ready to engage in combat. Meanwhile, Li Yue'er and Long Tian stood poised and determined, fully prepared to slaughter them.
