Chapter 17
The great Dong Mountain was not very big, but it was very famous. This was because a powerful warrior who had passed by had commented that the mountain had the power of a crouching tiger and a coiled dragon.
The Su family ancestor had spent a lot of money to buy it as a treasured land for the Su family to bury the guards and collateral descendants. If it were not for the fact that the ancestral graves were not to be touched, the ancestral graves would probably have been moved there.
The great Dong Mountain faced three cliffs. Only one side led up the mountain. Furthermore, the entire mountain was surrounded on three sides by a large river. According to the military experts, this was the perfect place to defend.
The great Dong Mountain on a rainy night looked like a ferocious monster. Shrouded in the pouring rain and flashing lightning, the mountain seemed to be shrouded in white fog. It made one’s heart palpitate.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two speeding figures startled the two Su family scouts at the foot of the mountain. The scouts opened their eyes wide through the thick curtain of rain. In the instant the lightning flashed, they saw a yellow dog and a black-clothed youth. They were both secretly shocked.
Xiao Chen!
What was he doing on Dong Mountain?
It looked like he was going up the mountain.
The two scouts had not received orders from the Su family, so they did not move.
Xiao Chen’s entire body was drenched in the rain. His eyes narrowed slightly and his expression was cold. He ran like the wind, splashing up mud in his path.
The yellow dog led the way in front. Its cold eyes swept across the grass where the scouts were hiding. Although the two scouts could not see clearly, they suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they had fallen into a demon’s lair.
“Let’s go, Da Huang!”
Xiao Chen swept a glance but did not care. The scouts needed the help of lightning to see clearly. After he had reached the White Tiger realm and used the power of the Wasteland, his vision was terrifying. Even in the pitch-black night, he could see hundreds of meters.
His body sped up and rushed up the mountain. In front of him was a river. A few hundred meters upstream was a wooden bridge. He could not wait any longer. With a backhand, he pulled out a wooden sword and swept it at a small tree beside him.
Thump!
The small tree snapped with a sound and was sent flying into the river by the wooden sword. Xiao Chen leaped up with both legs and his body shot up. Tapping on the small tree in the river, he used the force to leap up again. He crossed the river and ran toward Dong Mountain.
“Xiu!”
The yellow dog followed closely behind. Its body rose into the air. With one leap, it crossed the river. Its vigorous figure disappeared from Dong Mountain in the blink of an eye.
“This …”
The scouts had heard of Xiao Chen’s strength, so they weren’t surprised. However, this mixed fur yellow dog could actually cross a river that was six to seven meters wide with a single step, and it was so fast that it scared the hell out of the scouts.
“Boss, are there any powerful desolate beasts among dogs?
Or … am I seeing things? ”
One of the scouts asked his comrade in a trembling voice. His comrade swallowed his saliva and nodded to indicate that he was not mistaken. Then, he shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of such a thing.
His expression suddenly became excited as he lowered his voice and said, “Stay here and watch. I have to immediately send this information back to the family. Young master Xiao Chen’s dog is not simple. Even if its combat strength is not strong, its speed is definitely comparable to a fourth or fifth grade dire beast.”
…
“Granny, you must hold on!
No matter who it is that wants to hurt you, I will make sure they die without a burial place. ”
Xiao Chen’s speed was as fast as the wind. Like a mad lion, he charged toward the top of the mountain. Other than his grandfather, Granny Liu was the first person who had truly treated him well. Not long ago, she had been heavily injured because of his mistake. This had already made him feel incomparably guilty. Now, she had been implicated because of him.
Since the enemy had sent a message for him to go up Dong Mountain, it was clear that they were targeting him. Granny Liu had just suffered an undeserved calamity.
The top of the mountain quickly came into view. The yellow dog’s soft whimpers also indicated that there were people hiding there. Xiao Chen slowed his steps and began to adjust his breathing. Dragging his wooden sword, he walked quickly up the mountain.
His grandfather had once said that no matter how dangerous the situation was, one could not lose one’s mind.
The more anxious one was, the more chaotic one’s mind would be, and the worse the situation would be.
Leaping to the top of the mountain, the terrain became flat, and the trees were sparse.
At a glance, one could see countless graves that had been dug up. There were rotting coffins and white bones scattered everywhere. It proved that a large group of grave robbers had come here last night.
There were four people at the top of the mountain. They were all shrouded in black clothing. Standing in the rain without a word, they were like four gods of death.
Behind the four of them was a large tree with a silver-haired old woman hanging from it. The old woman’s body was dripping with blood. Her head was drooping, and her eyes were tightly closed. It was impossible to tell if she was still alive.
“Granny!”
Xiao Chen roared in a low voice. His expression grew calmer. He didn’t look at Granny Liu again. His gaze swept across the four people’s exposed eyes. In a voice as cold as ice, he said, “Today, all of you will die!”
“Is that so?”
The four of them didn’t speak. A shadow flashed out from behind the tree and stood behind Granny Liu. The long sword in his hand was unsheathed and held to Granny Liu’s neck. Looking at Xiao Chen with cold eyes, he said, “If you don’t want her to die, then throw the wooden sword off the cliff.”
Xiao Chen laughed coldly and pretended not to hear. His eyes stared fixedly at the four people in front of him. Dragging the wooden sword in his hand, he began to charge forward with quick steps.
His back was slightly bent, and his footsteps were extremely vigorous. He was like a cheetah galloping in the night wind.
The yellow dog didn’t follow. Instead, it stood where it was and watched coldly. It didn’t seem to have any intention of participating in the battle. Or perhaps, it didn’t have the strength to participate in the battle and was afraid of dragging Xiao Chen down.
“Hmph!”
The black-robed man who was holding back Granny Liu revealed a ruthless look in his eyes. His long sword danced and suddenly stabbed at Granny Liu’s thigh.
“Ah!”
Granny Liu let out a miserable cry and came to her senses. Her cloudy eyes scanned the surroundings. Coincidentally, there was lightning flashing in the sky. She saw Xiao Chen dragging the wooden sword and rushing towards her. Her pale face immediately turned completely pale.
Using all the strength in her body, she shouted hysterically, “Child, are you crazy?
Go quickly!
Otherwise, Granny will not rest in peace. ”
Xiao Chen’s body trembled slightly, but he didn’t stop. His expression didn’t change at all. He lowered his head slightly and stared at the four black-robed men with even colder eyes.
A look of shock appeared in the eyes of the black-robed leader. Xiao Chen didn’t care about Granny Liu’s life?
Then why did he come to Dong Mountain alone?
Or was he very smart?
Did he know that if he died, Granny Liu wouldn’t live either?
So he wouldn’t be stupid enough to throw away the wooden sword?
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen didn’t take the bait. The black-robed leader waved his hand and the four figures in front of him immediately shot towards Xiao Chen like sharp swords.
The four of them were as fast as arrows. There was no emotion in their eyes. Almost at the same time, they pulled out their swords. Their movements were clean and efficient, as if they were soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles.
The third tier of the White Tiger realm!
Xiao Chen easily determined their strength based on their speed and the flow of the Desolate Power on their bodies. He laughed coldly in his heart. Yue Fusheng really thought highly of him.
Three hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters!
“Sha sha!”
Xiao Chen’s sword left a ravine in the soil behind him. He secretly calculated the distance in his heart and his expression became even more solemn.
The rain grew heavier and heavier. Thunder and lightning intertwined, but Xiao Chen and the four were not affected at all. They only had eyes for each other.
Thirty meters, fifteen meters!
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen’s figure suddenly leaped up. The wooden sword sliced through the air with a terrifying screech. Everywhere the wooden sword passed, the rain exploded. Under the illumination of the lightning, the wooden sword reflected a faint cold light, like the scythe of the grim reaper.
