Chapter 1408 - 1335: Long Kui’s Past
Chapter 1408 - 1335: Long Kui’s Past
Long Kui, frightened, hurriedly raised another iron hammer to defend.
But under the powerful impact of the barbarian forces, despite being a master at Foundation Establishment level eight, Long Kui was still kicked flying.
Another human cultivator charged forward, slicing at the barbarian’s body, yet it felt like cutting into steel, merely tearing the clothes without inflicting any injury on the opponent.
The barbarian grabbed the person’s head and lightly squeezed, directly crushing it.
This scene made Ye Guichen’s eyes nearly pop out.
The barbarians were truly violent.
The more violent they were, the more he liked it.
Qin Muge was already scared stiff.
It was terrifying.
"Brother Ye, hurry up and take this chance to escape!" Qin Muge tugged at Ye Guichen’s clothes, urging in a low voice.
These barbarians were too dreadful, it looked like they weren’t even close to being opponents.
Ye Guichen replied, "Don’t move recklessly, let me try."
"What?" Qin Muge was stunned: "There’s nothing for us here, why are you going up there?"
"Of course, to test the barbarian’s strength," Ye Guichen smiled, dashed forward to the leading barbarian.
That barbarian was slaughtering all around.
Though the others’ cultivation levels weren’t weak, before the barbarian, they seemed like mere clay figures, completely outmatched.
In just a few confrontations, more than half the people were dead.
The woman was being held by another barbarian.
But she hadn’t been killed.
It seemed that the barbarians were also extremely interested in women.
That barbarian grinned, gazing at the woman with a drooling expression, as if seeing a delicacy.
The woman screamed continuously in terror.
Having dealt with the barbarians over the years, she knew their means well.
Men in the barbarian’s grasp might get a quick death.
Women caught by them only suffer inhuman torment.
This torment includes boiling, frying, roasting, and cooking.
In the barbarian’s minds, human women’s fat is elastic, tastier, and the skin after cooking is even more appetizing.
Therefore, the woman could easily imagine her fate.
Although not killed now, being taken away hardly differs from the steps before humans eat pigs.
"Ahh, let go of me, let go of me!" The woman screamed, biting into the barbarian’s arm, but it felt like biting into steel, not leaving even a tooth mark.
That barbarian chopped at the woman’s neck, knocking her unconscious.
In this instant, Ye Guichen had reached the barbarian leader, leaping and punching at the opponent’s belly.
Long Kui had just climbed up and couldn’t believe Ye Guichen dared to provoke the barbarian leader, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Qin Muge was even more scared, turning his head aside.
Ye Guichen’s fist seemed like a child’s punch, how could it possibly harm the barbarian leader?
The barbarian leader seemed provoked, intensely angered. Seeing Ye Guichen throw a punch, he made no attempt to dodge, instead swinging his hand to grab Ye Guichen’s fist.
He intended to seize Ye Guichen’s fist and crush it instantly.
However, what the barbarian leader didn’t anticipate was the immense power behind Ye Guichen’s punch.
Bang!
At the moment of contact, an intense dull sound rang out.
The barbarian leader felt his entire arm go numb.
He staggered back several steps, almost falling.
Witnessing this, Long Kui was almost dumbfounded.
He knew how terrifying the barbarian’s strength was.
Even among the strongest human cultivators imprisoned here, no one could punch a barbarian back.
Usually, hunting barbarians required setting traps ahead of time, with many working together to kill a single barbarian.
Yet today’s situation seemed beyond imagination!
Thinking back on their previous plot to rob Ye Guichen, cold sweat formed on Long Kui’s back.
"Roar!"
The Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf roared and bit the leg of the barbarian who had been knocked back by Ye Guichen.
Crunch!
Under the nourishment of pills and beast inner cores from Ye Guichen, the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf’s body had almost completely transformed, with incredibly hard teeth.
With this bite, it directly left a row of teeth marks on the leg of the barbarian leader.
The barbarian let out a miserable scream, shook the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf off with force, shouted twice, glanced at Ye Guichen with fear, and turned to flee.
The other two barbarians saw this and did not hesitate, turning to escape.
One of the barbarians was still holding a sparsely dressed woman, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Ye Guichen did not pursue them but gently shook his arms.
Pain!
Indeed, the skin and flesh of the barbarians were extremely tough, and although his body was exceptionally strong, he felt slightly numb from that punch just now.
Ye Guichen even felt that many attacks by common human cultivators had no effect on the barbarians.
One barbarian could easily deal with a group of human cultivators.
"Wangcai, well done." Ye Guichen threw a beast inner core to the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf.
The Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf swallowed the beast inner core in one gulp and wagged its tail, looking like a obedient dog.
Only then did Long Kui notice the extraordinary qualities of the Four-eyed Dragon Tomb Wolf, swallowed hard, disregarded his own injuries and the deaths of his men, and quickly stepped forward with clasped fists: "Brother Ye, I apologize for the earlier offense, I’m truly sorry."
The apology was sincere, but a trace of cunning flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Ye Guichen didn’t care whether Long Kui was sincere or not and instead asked, "What’s going on with those three barbarians just now?"
"Brother Ye may not know, the barbarians here target us human cultivators, treating us as food. These years, under the leadership of the Third Young Master, we have gathered everyone in the Barbarian Demon Fighting Arena, united to resist the evil people and barbarians. Although the barbarians hunt us, we also remain vigilant, hunting those barbarians and evil people."
Long Kui paused for a moment before continuing: "Honestly, Brother Ye, we were all thrown in here by the Daqian Dynasty, and none of us are gentle souls, haha. Although the Barbarian Demon Fighting Arena isn’t big, it’s extremely dangerous, not only with high-level beasts but also many evil people and barbarians. Although there are fewer than thirty barbarians, they have formed a tribe. We fight almost every day without rest."
"This time, we sensed the array entrance seemed to be opened, so we came to welcome the newcomers, but unexpectedly saw Brother Ye, hehe, we can say that we met through battle!"
Long Kui laughed, yet his expression was extremely respectful.
Ye Guichen’s punch earlier had truly shocked him.
"What’s your name?" Ye Guichen disregarded Long Kui’s flattery and asked.
"Long Kui, my name is Long Kui." Long Kui quickly explained: "Hehe, I came in here ten years ago. At that time, I slept with the princess of the Daqian Dynasty, was caught by Qin Cangqiong, and thrown in here. Haha, Brother, what did you do to end up here?"
Ye Guichen, hearing this, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
Sleeping with the princess of the Daqian Dynasty—that’s really something.
As a result, when Qin Muge heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy: "You, you are Long Kui? You vile creature, you actually slept with my aunt, and she’s been mentally unstable for years, all because of you!"
As Qin Muge spoke, he charged forward to hit Long Kui but was stopped by Ye Guichen: "Muge, what are you doing?"
"This guy, he slept with my aunt." Qin Muge’s eyes were red: "Since I was young, my aunt treated me the best. But over ten years ago, during a hunting trip, she was assaulted by a guard leader named Long Kui, and since then, her mind has been unclear and hasn’t recovered."
"I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect it was this guy. Why didn’t father kill him years ago, instead locking him in the Barbarian Demon Arena, letting him live freely?"
Qin Muge was full of disbelief.
Long Kui, understanding, smiled cheekily at Qin Muge: "Oh, are you one of Qin Cangqiong’s people? Haha, he did want to kill me back then, but he was self-righteous in his mercy, saying he’d give me a chance to change, said if I ever gained the power to kill barbarians, he’d marry the princess to me. Haha, everyone knew Qin Cangqiong was just looking out for his own interests, throwing us in here to die, to test the barbarians."
Long Kui looked full of ridicule, completely ignoring Qin Muge’s fury and turned to Ye Guichen: "Brother, are you connected to the Imperial Family? What’s the deal, did Qin Cangqiong bring you in here to die too?"
Ye Guichen shook his head, suddenly brought out the Immortal Slayer Sword, and directly chopped off Long Kui’s head.
The two remaining living people were shocked and took two steps back.
Long Kui’s head spun in the air, grabbed by Ye Guichen and then tossed to Qin Muge: "Now, do you feel better?"
Qin Muge looked at Long Kui, whose face was still marked with an incredulous expression, and his hand holding Long Kui was trembling slightly.
"Brother Ye, I..."
Meanwhile.
On the lookout platform.
Seeing Ye Guichen without the slightest hesitation, directly killing Long Kui.
Qin Cangqiong’s face turned somewhat unpleasant.
It even felt unnatural.
"Your Majesty, this Long Kui was once a fierce general who made a mistake years ago and you threw him into the Barbarian Demon Fighting Arena, and luckily he escaped with his life." The State Preceptor sighed: "However, now Ye Guichen has unexpectedly killed him with a single sword, seemingly dissatisfied with your decision."
Qin Cangqiong turned to glare at the State Preceptor: "This young man is more ruthless than imagined, he even punched a barbarian just now. His power is more frightening than we thought."
"Indeed." The State Preceptor agreed: "So, now I’m not concerned whether he can assist the Second Prince, but rather if he’ll overpower our Second Prince instead."
Qin Cangqiong, hearing this, his expression grew more uncertain: "Let’s wait and see. If necessary, that Barbarian Demon Arena will be forever closed to me!"
The State Preceptor was stunned: "Your Majesty, but, but the Second Prince is still..."
