Hei Taixui!
The moment these three words were uttered, both Yuan Shao and Situ Yufeng were stunned.
This name was enough to strike fear into the hearts of anyone in the underground world.
According to what they knew, there was a list in the underground world called the List of Villains, which enumerated hundreds of heinous criminals, each with a specified bounty. The higher the rank, the higher the bounty.
As long as someone was on the List of Villains, they would essentially be marked for elimination in the underground world. And anyone who had the skill to kill these villains would receive the corresponding reward.
Many people wanted to become Bounty Hunters, but those who made it onto the list were all extremely dangerous individuals with exceptional skills. Since the list's inception, it seemed that only a dozen or so villains had been killed; most of them were still at large.
Yet, every once in a while, the List of Villains would be updated.
Moreover, the creator of the List of Villains was quite mysterious; no one knew their identity to this day.
Of course, others might not know who created the List of Villains, but Ye Guichen knew very well.
Because he was the one who set it up.
This black-faced man called Hei Feng was ranked ninety-seventh on the List of Villains last year. Although his rank was not high, given how many skilled martial artists and villains there were, making it onto the list meant he was far from ordinary.
Hei Taixui was his nickname.
In recent years, this man had wandered in remote areas, gathering a group to commit all kinds of heinous crimes. But no one expected him to be here today.
It appeared that Hei Taixui had been bought off by An Shengtian.
"Well, well, I didn't know my name, Hei Taixui, was so well-known!" Seeing that Ye Guichen had recognized him, Hei Taixui laughed heartily, waving his large machete around. "Since you know who I am, kneel down and prepare to die!"
With those words, Hei Taixui roared, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Kill them all before nightfall!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The cries rang out repeatedly.
Those bandit-like men roared one after another, charging towards Ye Guichen and his companions.
Yuan Shao and Situ Yufeng, both extremely nervous, quickly retreated to Ye Guichen's side, feeling only safe near him.
Ma Xiaoling, however, lunged forward, her hand trembling as she released several waves of cold air.
The air was chilling to the extreme; anyone it touched would instantly fall to the ground convulsing, their bodies rapidly decomposing. It was terrifying.
"Damn, what kind of trick is that, little wench!" Hei Taixui seemed to notice Ma Xiaoling's abnormality, roaring as he raised his large machete, charging towards her.
Whoosh!
The heavy machete, weighing over a hundred pounds, swung down towards Ma Xiaoling's head with a loud whooshing sound.
Ma Xiaoling's expression changed slightly.
Although she was a Corpse Chaser, her actual combat skills were not very high, and she knew she'd suffer in a direct confrontation.
"Retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Ma Xiaoling quickly took two steps back.
The machete crashed down with a bang, splitting the ground where Ma Xiaoling had just stood, creating a deep trench.
As quick as lightning, Hei Taixui's men swarmed towards Ye Guichen and the others.
Ye Guichen smiled faintly and said to Mr. Shui, "Mr. Shui, go show them what you can do!"
Mr. Shui, having just recovered, was eager to demonstrate his skills. Seeing Ye Guichen's command, he roared like a wild beast, flexed his arms, and plunged into the crowd.
Then, a horrifying scene unfolded.
Mr. Shui, like a wolf in a tiger's den, didn't even bother dodging, letting the weapons strike his body as he grabbed the bandits, tearing each one he caught into two.
Blood sprayed into the air.
In the blink of an eye, six or seven men were torn into half-corpse remains.
The bandits, who were about to charge forward, were dumbstruck, their skin crawling with fear, and they immediately recoiled.
Hei Taixui was also taken aback and had no choice but to turn from Ma Xiaoling and charge at Mr. Shui: "Brothers, don't be afraid. He's just big. Let me cut him in half with one strike!"
Hei Taixui shouted as he charged at Mr. Shui, swinging down his machete.
Clang!
The hundred-pound machete struck Mr. Shui's back with a clanging sound, like striking metal, without leaving even a scratch on him.
Even more terrifying, Hei Taixui found that his machete had shattered.
Yes, it had broken against Mr. Shui's back, leaving gaping cracks.
Hei Taixui felt his hair standing on end.
Situ Yufeng and Yuan Shao were also dumbfounded.
The sound of swallowing echoed through the scene.
"Damn, is this guy even human?"
Hei Taixui's eyes widened as he tried to pull his machete back, only to see Mr. Shui turn around, expressionless.
"It tickles!"
With that, Mr. Shui grabbed the machete and snapped it with force.
Crack!
The machete broke in two.
Mr. Shui stepped forward, reaching for Hei Taixui.
At that moment, Hei Taixui realized they had met a formidable foe.
First, there was a woman who could kill and decompose people with just a touch, and now a giant who was impervious to weapons.
Damn it, there were still three others who hadn't even fought, and he had already lost nearly half his men.
If those three joined the fight, he and his men would all be finished.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
While shouting, Hei Taixui abandoned his broken machete and fled into the valley in panic.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoling was overjoyed and quickly chased after him, reaping lives as if harvesting wheat.
Yuan Shao took a deep breath.
He knew Mr. Shui was fearsome, but he never expected him to be so powerful that even someone on the List of Villains like Hei Taixui couldn't harm him.
Glancing at Ye Guichen with trepidation, Yuan Shao knew it was time to prove himself.
Without hesitation, he grabbed his weapon and pursued.
"Is that Mr. Shui from An Cangsheng's five masters, Mr. Shui?" Situ Yufeng finally recognized Mr. Shui, though he hadn't thought about it because Mr. Shui rarely showed up, making him less recognizable than Huo Yi.
But hearing Ye Guichen call out Mr. Shui's name and seeing his formidable combat prowess, Situ Yufeng was finally able to make the connection.
What the hell had Ye Guichen done to capture one of An Cangsheng's five masters and subdue him? How did he pull this off?
Of course, Situ Yufeng didn't know that Mr. Tu had already been killed.
"Where are you running!"
Snapping out of it, Situ Yufeng also hurriedly pursued.
If he didn't act now, when would he?
Ye Guichen glanced at the sky. It was already around two or three in the afternoon. They had about thirty kilometers left to go, and if they hurried, they could make it through before nightfall.
Seeing the trail of bodies left by the bandits, Ye Guichen also quickly followed, calling out, "Remember, don't chase too far."
