Chapter 604 Golden Eagle
Chapter 604 Golden Eagle
"We’re willing to leave, we’re willing to leave! We won’t go into the mountains, just please let us go."
Li Yang was terrified. He thought he could handle everything, but it turned out he was nothing.
"Thinking of leaving now? It’s too late. You will all die here. None of you will get out alive."
The old man’s expression turned ferocious. He feared trouble. If the Ten Great Families really came up the mountain, he would have his hands full for a while. Therefore, he decided to silence them by killing them all. Not a single person could be allowed to escape.
This was already deep in the mountains, and cell signals couldn’t get out, unlike before on the mountainside when they could still make phone calls. Someone took out a phone to try, but it was useless.
The bodyguards were fighting desperately. The arrogant young masters, once so pompous, now cowered in fear. They had all turned into sniveling cowards.
They had only come along to get into Li Chengshou’s good graces. To die here would be so damn depressing! They still had a whole life of glory and wealth ahead of them. How utterly frustrating!
Li Yang was shivering with fear. He really didn’t want to die! Being the Young City Lord was so prestigious. Even if he wasn’t capable himself, he could thrive with such a skilled father. But now, he was about to die.
The bodyguards clearly couldn’t withstand the wolves’ assault.
Li Chengshou was immensely frightened. He had heard of Martial Artists, but he had never seen anyone who could command a pack of wolves like this. He could understand Martial Artists, but this... this was beyond comprehension! So many ferocious wolves, all obeying one man’s command? It was just too absurd!
"Master Qi!" he suddenly yelled, looking toward Qi Yan in hopes that he would help.
Qi Yan sighed. "Sir, why must you make things difficult for a group of ordinary people? Since it has come to this, I can only risk my life and fight!"
As he spoke, he immediately pulled out a Paper Talisman. On the yellow paper were what looked like demonic scribbles. Then, he bit his finger, smeared a line of blood across it, and roared, "Break Evil!"
The Paper Talisman instantly burst into flames. A bloody light enveloped him and Li Chengshou, but he ignored everyone else. This was his limit; he could only protect Li Chengshou and himself.
"Heh, so you’re just a Jianghu Magician," the old man sneered. "Your skill isn’t bad, I suppose, but compared to me, you’re a far cry from being enough!"
He waved his hand gently, and the Wolf King instantly pounced.
BANG!
The Wolf King’s jaws bit down on the bloody light, which immediately began to crack. Qi Yan’s face paled in shock. This Wolf King is too strong! It has to be at least a Third Rank Overlord!
"Tong Wu, help, quickly! Or we’ll all die here!" Qi Yan shouted in a panic.
"Mr. Tong, save us!" the others cried out, suddenly remembering Tong Wu.
"Remember this. You all owe me a favor," Tong Wu said as he made his move.
In truth, he didn’t want them all to die either. After all, the mountain was managed by his Tong Family. If these people died here, his family couldn’t shirk its responsibility.
Tong Wu shot forward and slammed a fist into the Wolf King, sending it flying.
At this, Qi Yan and Li Chengshou both breathed a sigh of relief. Tong Wu was truly powerful, able to send even the Wolf King flying.
The old man was also taken aback and furrowed his brow. "I didn’t expect such a master to be among you. A pity, but it’s still not enough."
Suddenly, a stream of black smoke shot from his right hand. The smoke coalesced into the shape of a venomous snake and flew toward Tong Wu. He would surely be gravely injured if it struck.
"Petty tricks. How boring." Yang Qi shook his head and casually flicked his right hand. All of a sudden, several of the ferocious wolves turned and pounced, colliding with the black smoke.
The wolves died.
The smoke dispersed.
No one else knew what had just happened, but the old man’s face was a mask of terror. He could feel that Yang Qi had acted, but he had no idea what he had done.
Just then, the Wolf King let out a miserable howl as Tong Wu struck it down, killing it on the spot. Tong Wu then lunged at the remaining wolves. With him leading the charge, the slaughter became much simpler, and the bodyguards’ fighting spirit was rekindled.
Finally, the entire pack of wolves was annihilated.
The old man’s expression was darker than night.
"Tong Wu, what are you standing around for? Kill that old bastard!" Li Chengshou roared at Tong Wu. "How dare he try to kill us? This is outrageous!"
"One more word out of you and I’ll leave you to die," Tong Wu said, casting a cold glance at Li Chengshou.
Li Chengshou immediately shut his mouth, not daring to utter another word. If it weren’t for Tong Wu today, they would have certainly died.
"Tong Wu, I don’t understand. Why are you helping that good-for-nothing?" Li Yang said, pointing at Yang Qi. "He clearly did nothing, yet you keep protecting him. Who is he?"
"Are you tired of living? How dare you insult Mr. Yang?" Tong Wu stared daggers at Li Yang, frightening him into a tremble.
Tong Wu knew very well that if Yang Qi hadn’t intervened just now, the old man’s sneak attack would have succeeded. Although the old man’s Cultivation followed a crooked path, he was extremely formidable, and his methods were vicious and cruel.
The old man also stared intently at Yang Qi. After a long moment, he spoke. "Sir, it seems you are a true master. I have misjudged."
Yang Qi replied calmly, "You may leave. I won’t kill you. I only want what is inside the cave."
"Impossible!" the old man retorted, shaking his head. "I have guarded this place for decades, waiting for the Golden Eagle to awaken. How can I let you reap the rewards? What I cannot have, you will not have either!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. A Paper Talisman in his hand transformed into a black wolf and rushed into the cave.
Yang Qi’s expression changed drastically. "Everyone, fall back!"
This time, the young nobles obeyed without hesitation. Yang Qi’s previous warnings had all been correct, so they didn’t dare to ignore him now.
The moment everyone retreated, the old man also leaped up, landing on a distant tree.
Near the cave, only Yang Qi and Tong Wu remained.
"Tong Wu, you should go too!" Yang Qi said with a wave of his hand, instructing him to fall back.
"Sir!"
"You can’t stop it," Yang Qi said, shaking his head.
Helpless, Tong Wu could only retreat.
Just then, a fierce gale blasted out from the cave, kicking up a storm of sand and stones. If the others had still been in their original positions, they would have likely been battered and bruised.
Yet Yang Qi stood his ground, seemingly unaffected.
KRAA!
A shrill cry rang out.
Immediately, a huge figure soared into the sky from within the cave. In an instant, it blotted out the sun.
Everyone’s jaws dropped in shock. Li Chengshou, Li Yang, Tong Wu, and the others were all completely dumbstruck, their eyes reflecting a colossal dark silhouette.
The shadow was immense; its wingspan alone was well over ten meters. Its entire body shimmered with Golden Light, blocking out all sunlight filtering through the trees and plunging the area into darkness.
Yang Qi activated his Heavenly Eye. A sixteen-meter wingspan!
