Dark Blood Path

Xiao Yu removed the black scale armor from Wang Yunfei’s corpse. This was a high gray equipment called the “Black Python Scale Armor”. He looked carefully at the surface of the scale armor, as there were several mysterious symbols engraved on the surface. This was a piece of magic equipment. An unranked magic circle with the blessing of “physical protection” was engraved on it. It could mitigate part of the force and reduce the damage dealt when its user suffers a physical attack from an elementary being.

When Jin Shi fought Wang Yunfei, despite using all of his strength, he was only capable of carving a small hole in the armor, showing how powerful the blessing actually was. Furthermore, Yunfei also possessed a medium gray space ring that was three times bigger than Xiao Yu’s own ring, and it had a space of three cubic meters. Inside of it was a medium gray two-handed sword, two lower soul gems, and a pile of food and water.

The struggle on the other side was also over, and there was no uncertainty about the battle’s conclusion. Wang Yunfei’s remnant forces had completely collapsed under the joint force of four elementary experts. All of his original guards were killed without exception. Twenty to thirty people who had resisted with weapons were all disposed of, and the rest surrendered or were captured. Most of them were women who were forcibly detained by Wang Yunfei and his subordinates, and they numbered over twenty people as they awaited their verdict.

The captives were gathered together, crying and begging for mercy.

Among them, Huang Jianmin found a gorgeous woman with long flowing hair and a good figure. When she was caught, she only had the time to slide on a piece of underwear as she looked flushed; obviously, she had a ‘great time’ before the battle started. This person was Wang Yan; she looked around in panic and happened to meet Huang Jianmin’s eyes.

“Li Ming, go and bring me Wang Yan!”

Huang Jianmin gave his subordinate an order.

Li Ming’s eyes glowed with malice as he glared at Wang Yan. It was precisely because of this disgusting woman that sold her body, divulging the deputy chief’s plot in order to please Wang Yunfei and causing many of his colleagues, as well as innocent people, to die tragically. He came over to her side, yanked her hair, and tossed her out to her knees toward their captain.

Wang Yan raised her head with disheveled hair and cried: “Captain Huang, please, for Officer Chen’s sake, don’t kill me!”

Huang Jianmin was much calmer before, but when he heard this sentence, he immediately flew into rage, “You still have the face to mention Xiao Chen’s name; don’t you have any shame?!”

“Do you think I wanted this?” Wang Yan argued loudly, bawling her eyes out: “Even if I didn’t take the initiative to go to Wang Yunfei, he would not let me go, and I will still be held captive in the end, so I might as well make an effort to win his favor. All I desired was to live and live better; what’s wrong with that?”

“Fine, however, even if you’re right!” Huang Jianmin said coldly with a livid face, “How do you explain the death of deputy chief Zhou!”

Wang Yan’s beautiful face became ugly and distorted, and she shouted: “It’s not my fault; he doesn’t know what’s good for him at all! Originally, he would’ve remained alive as long as he followed the orders. But the stubborn guy only wanted to revolt and escape, and he revealed the contents of his plans to me, implicating me as well! If Wang Yunfei had found out about that, I would’ve also died! And I didn’t want to die; I just wanted to live!”

Seeing her hysterical look, Han Kexin shook her head, while Jiang Xiaowen showed deep helplessness and bitterness. Whether it was Wang Yunfei or Wang Yan, they were all just ordinary people. Wang Yan was even a policewoman that held a sense of justice in her heart. But in a matter of days, human nature has become so twisted. The bloody, violent, and vividly portrayed dark side of people’s hearts were now all part of their harsh reality. She was happy she had chosen to follow Xiao Yu, who was calm, decisive, and wise, and who had a hint of kindness concealed beneath his frigid façade.

“Originally, I promised Xiao Chen to take good care of you.” Huang Jianmin sighed deeply, “this is the first time in my life that I will have to break my oath.”

Wang Yan displayed dread on her face, “You…you want to kill me!”

Huang Jianmin spoke slowly: “You did these horrible things and killed so many of our people. Even if I want to let you go for Xiao Chen’s sake, do you think anyone else will forgive you? You must atone for your sins.”

Wang Yan yelled in horror: “No, you can’t do this!”

At this moment, Li Ming came out, took out his Type 64 pistol, and grasped the trigger, aiming the muzzle right at Wang Yan’s head.

He shot her directly in the forehead, despite her crying and loud cursing. After a bang, the situation quickly calmed down, and the remaining women huddled together in a bundle and were trembling.

Seeing Wang Yan being shot down, Han Kexin didn’t feel any kind of emotion. Instead, she looked around and murmured, “I have no clue what is happening on Xiao Yu’s side; the treasure in that guy’s hands is very powerful. Can he really deal with him?”

When Jiang Xiaowen heard this, her heart trembled slightly, and she got a bit anxious. She had already developed a kind of dependency on Xiao Yu, and she couldn’t imagine what they would do if something really happened to him.

Jiang Xiaowen clenched her fists and said: “He will surely win. Even that flame goblin with such power has been defeated by him. I believe Xiao Yu must be the strongest person alive; he will never lose!” She tried to reassure herself in order to comfort Han Kexin.

After about a few minutes, Xiao Yu came out slowly. The moment his figure appeared, everyone felt relieved.

Han Kexin saw an extra ring in Xiao Yu’s hand, and she already knew the result of the battle, so she went up to him and asked, “How is the situation, are you injured?”

“I’m fine.” Xiao Yu passed her the ring, “You keep this with you for the time being and pass it on to Du Tao when we return. He is in charge of our logistics and domestic affairs, and the ring will make his job much easier. After all, it’s the same as the other one we own. Well, is everything done over here?”

Han Kexin nodded and explained the matter briefly. After inspection, all of the hostages who should have been executed were killed, and the majority of the remainder were women who had been captured, and they were likewise coerced into joining with no other choice. This time, a total of thirty-seven members joined the team.

Wang Yunfei murdered the children and the old folk, as well as some women. Only an elderly guy in his seventies survived because he was the vice president of a well-known Chinese medical institution, and his medical abilities were excellent and valuable, especially in this world. Almost all of these newcomers were in their twenties and thirties, and they all engaged in different industries, which was a great supplement to the team. It’s just that they were new members, and Xiao Yu had no idea about their temperament. And so he couldn’t fully trust any of them just yet, and neither did he trust the old doctor, so he left Huang Jianmin to handle the situation for the time being.

The second head’s weapon was called the ‘wolf claw’, a medium gray piece of equipment. Although its attacking range was much limited, its sharpness was still higher than that of the bone blade. Among them, Han Kexin was the most suitable to use this weapon. With her ability, it could definitely exert a terrifying effect.

Xiao Yu distributed more than half of the food he obtained. Everyone was craving a full meal these days, and they were all starving. When a large amount of bread and water were distributed, the people all cheered. Xiao Yu sought a quiet spot and promptly fell asleep. But he slept deeply this time around. He has long been used to controlling the level of sleep according to his environment.

Xiao Yu only woke up after three to four hours of slumber, his spirit had recovered by a lot, and the heavy fatigue he felt in his body had also subsided.

At this time, a voice came from outside the house, and Jiang Xiaowen walked in, holding some vacuum-packed food and drinks, “Xiao Yu, Teacher Han asked me to bring you some food. You have been fighting so fiercely for several hours straight, and you didn’t eat anything. You need nutrition; otherwise, your body will not be able to bear it.” There was deep concern in her tone.

Xiao Yu shook his head lightly to wake himself up and said, “Thanks, just put it there.”

Jiang Xiaowen piled up some food and drinks on a wooden table. Xiao Yu picked up a bottle of orange juice, unscrewed the lid, and drank it all; then, he tore open a vacuum-packed spicy ham sausage and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. It has been a long time since they enjoyed food like this. Jiang Xiaowen observed from the side, secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, but despite her best efforts to hide it, she couldn’t escape from Xiao Yu’s sharp eyes.

Xiao Yu said, “did you eat anything?”

Jiang Xiaowen was a little flustered, lowered her head, and said, “I’ve already eaten.”

“Really?”

“yes.”

At this time, another person walked in from outside the door. With a thin frame, delicate skin, a fiery figure, and a coquettish face, who else could it be if not Han Kexin?

As soon as she came in, she saw Xiao Yu holding food in his hand; she was slightly taken aback and said, “Huh, I was just about to deliver food to you, but I didn’t expect someone to be one step ahead of me.”

A puff of red flashed on Jiang Xiaowen’s cheeks.

Seeing this, Han Kexin suddenly understood what happened and teased her on purpose: “Hey, isn’t this orange juice, fresh jelly, and ham sausage the ones Xiaowen likes to eat? I remember that when the food was distributed, all of these should have been given to Xiaowen. How did they get here?”

Jiang Xiaowen stood up and stammered to explain: “No… I was full, this… this is the leftovers, so I gave them to Xiao Yu. “

“Come here, you silly girl.” Han Kexin walked in with a smile on her face and rubbed her head, “Were you afraid that I would forget about your classmate Xiao Yu’s share? Don’t worry; even if I forget, the others will never do.”

Han Kexin knocked into the space ring once and took out some food, “Eat; staying hungry is bad for your health.”

This time Jiang Xiaowen didn’t say much and directly took the food from her hands. When the food was previously distributed, it was entirely divided up, and nothing was left. And so she only ate a bit and cleverly kept most of the food for Xiao Yu. But now that she knew that they had more than what was shown, she reached for a bottle of fruit juice right away, grabbed it, and gulped it down. However, she drank the juice too rapidly and choked on it by accident, as her face became bright red, and she coughed continuously.

Han Kexin patted her on the back lightly and said with a smile: “Everyone could see how capable you were when you acted as the class monitor, but now, why do I feel that you are becoming more and more stupid? If your good friends see you now, they will definitely be surprised.”

When Jiang Xiaowen heard this, her countenance immediately turned sorrowful….after all…. her best friend had tragically died before her eyes.

Han Kexin realized she had mentioned something inappropriate and quickly changed the subject: “Xiao Yu, everyone has rested and regained their strength. Shall we go back?”

Xiao Yu nodded: “There are still more than ten hours till nightfall, so there is plenty of time for us to go back. Let’s pack up and set off immediately.”

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the residence, and Jin Shi’s burly body squeezed in, “teacher Han, so you were here? Great, Xiao Yu is also awake; there is an important matter.”

“What’s the situation?”

Jin Shi’s expression turned solemn: “Someone saw Wang Yunfei!”

“No way; isn’t he dead?!”

Both Han Kexin and Jiang Xiaowen were shocked, and they yelled out simultaneously. They couldn’t comprehend how a dead person could be brought back to life.
