Yang Xiao gathered all the Essence Qi in his body, staring ahead at the brightly lit tent, watching the chaotic figures inside, his left hand raised high.

The other martial arts experts all rushed over.

Everyone was staring at Yang Xiao's left hand. As soon as he waved it, these martial artists would charge into the sheepfold like hungry wolves, slaughtering wildly.

And the entire slaughter process would definitely not exceed a minute before everyone had to leave quickly.

For some reason, Yang Xiao's heart did not have the usual ease and pleasure that came with carrying out a mission.

This seemingly simple decapitation operation gave him an indescribable sense of crisis.

However, Yang Xiao knew he couldn't easily forgo this opportunity. Even though his sixth sense vaguely warned him, he still decided to attack.

So what if the enemy had set an ambush? These ants couldn't possibly imagine what kind of enemy they were facing?

In a sense, they were no longer humans, but gods who held the fate of mortals in their hands!

Yang Xiao's left hand made a clean, swift motion, then he leaped forward, taking the lead to attack the tent.

Eight martial arts experts at Core Formation to Divine Communication level closely followed Yang Xiao's figure, charging into the tent from different directions and angles.

Yang Xiao moved like lightning, instantly rushing into the tent.

Suddenly, there was a booming sound, like he had tripped over something, and a metallic spring sound was heard.

Yang Xiao was taken aback and instinctively glanced over.

Inside the tent, shadows stood faintly, yet they were all wooden dummies dressed in camouflage military uniforms.

Under Yang Xiao's feet, a thin wire was connected to a landmine not far away, which was now triggered and was emitting white smoke.

What made Yang Xiao's soul fly away was that in the tent, these tripwire mines were densely packed, from the top and the ground, to the entrance — at least a hundred of them.

Once these mines exploded, a chain reaction would instantly form, wiping everything within a 500-meter radius out of existence.

This was an incredibly terrifying trap, both vicious and ruthless!

"Retreat quickly, there are mines!"

Yang Xiao shouted and did a backflip to escape, moving like lightning.

The other experts, due to their strong inertia, still rushed into the tent, and before they could react, the dreadful explosion began.

Bang! Boom boom boom!

One after another, the huge explosions shook the ground, firelight soared into the sky, and the tent vanished in an instant.

The yellow sand and debris from the ground were swept into the sky by the shockwave of the explosion, forming a mushroom cloud and then scattering down.

As Yang Xiao fled for his life, his speed soared to the limit, yet he was still caught up by the explosion's shockwave.

His entire body flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily in a sandpit.

His back was a bloody mess, and half of his left foot had been sliced off by sharp shrapnel, leaving no trace of elegance.

Yang Xiao struggled to mobilize the True Martial Qi in his body, suppressing the boiling Essence Qi throughout his body.

He only felt as if his entire internal organs were being stabbed and poked by a little knife. He couldn't hold it any longer and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the yellow sand red.

Even so, Yang Xiao did not feel any pain.

He struggled to lift his head, staring at the dusty and explosive scene, despaired to the point of wanting to die.

Eight Danjin Grandmasters, in any armed force or large family, were a top-notch force, yet they were blown to smithereens, turned to dust.

His vision blackened, regret and pain stabbed into his heart like a poison thorn.

Not far away, Yang Fei strode over, holding a Barrett Heavy Sniper.

Seeing that mischievous face, Yang Xiao trembled all over with rage.

His bloodshot eyes glared at Yang Fei: "Wretched man, it was you, indeed!"

He struggled hard, trying to get up, but Yang Fei stepped on his head, pressing his face into the yellow sand.

"Haha, knowing it was me, you still fell for it? You're such a pig!"

Yang Fei laughed heartily three times, then directly pointed the dark muzzle at Yang Xiao's Taiyang acupoint, looking smug.

"How about it, Great Protector, now you know how awesome I am?"

Yang Xiao's head was pressed into the yellow sand, and he didn't dare to struggle.

The power of a Barrett is enough to blow his head apart.

The fear of death made Yang Xiao completely abandon the so-called dignity of a god, fearfully begging.

"Mr. Yang, I didn't intentionally oppose you, I was only following orders, please spare my life?"

With Yang Xiao's cultivation, his normal lifespan had reached around 200 years, making him fear death even more.

For powerful martial artists, nothing is more important than their own life.

Yang Fei spat disdainfully, keeping the muzzle tight against his Taiyang acupoint.

"I'll ask a question, and you answer. If I'm not happy, I'll blow you away."

Yang Xiao's mouth was full of sand.

At this moment, he was just like an ordinary person, filled with the fear of death and the hope of survival.

Yang Xiao spat out the sand, looked at Yang Fei with fear, nodding like a pecking chick.

"Ask away, I'll say everything I know, just don't kill me."

Yang Fei spoke calmly: "That damned Grand Priest took away my friend, where is he now?"

Yang Xiao was stunned: "Grand Priest, friend?"

Bam!

Yang Fei shifted the muzzle, firing a shot near his ear.

The bullet immediately tore off Yang Xiao's ear, leaving only a bloody ear base.

The intense pain made Yang Xiao struggle and scream.

"Yes, yes, I remembered, that day, the Grand Priest came back with an unconscious child, saying the Fire Gate's rise depended on this child."

"Later, I don't know what the Grand Priest said to the Sect Leader, but the Sect Leader ordered an immediate relocation of the headquarters. He, the Grand Priest, and other experts from the clan left with the child."

Yang Fei snorted coldly: "Where did they go?"

This time, Yang Xiao dared not hesitate and shouted.

"The Twelve Branches returned to the Ancestral Altar to besiege the Holy Peak, and the Sect Leader and the Grand Priest participated in this battle with the child. They should be under the Holy Peak now."

Yang Fei nodded, his tone extremely cold.

"So, you stayed behind to deal with me?"

Yang Xiao nodded and continued: "The Grand Priest said you were very troublesome and that your Changfeng Squad is extremely powerful."

"My purpose of staying was to intercept you, to prevent your appearance from disrupting the Sect Leader's and Grand Priest's plans."

Yang Fei felt that the Fire Gate was planning a huge conspiracy, and spoke calmly.

"The last question, what does the Fire Gate want to do with that little boy? What is their plan?"

Yang Xiao looked at Yang Fei with desolate eyes.

"I really don't know the plan of the Grand Priest and Sect Leader. I, as a Great Protector, am not actually in the power core, killing me is useless."
