Chapter 245 Wiped Out

Ou Yangming was like a spirit in the dark as he followed the dwarf and the big men without a sound.

When the dwarf stood out alone and confronted the cavaliers with his saber, Ou Yangming used his body technique to arrive at the big men’s hiding spot. Based on Ou Yangming’s strength, he could kill many Force Grade martial artists and several Yin Grade martial artists at once in a face-to-face fight, let alone in the dark.

The moment Ou Yangming released his mental power, entered the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, the dark environment looked the same as daytime through his eyes. As such, he could notice even the slightest change in everyone’s body.

According to the changes, he could easily identify their next moves.

Ou Yangming flashed to the side of a big man, who was holding a bow and an arrow. He reached out his hands to gently press the man’s temples, but a mighty power instantly penetrated the man’s brain. Before the man collapsed to the ground, Ou Yangming caught him and put him down slowly. Later on, he retrieved an explosive wolf fang and attached it to the arrow, then he shot it at the dwarf.

Ou Yangming had a low level of attainment in arrow techniques, but due to the integration of Heaven and man and the thoroughly meticulous state, he was able to have control over the arrow. Nonetheless, the young fellow did not intend to kill the dwarf through this shot because he knew the explosive wolf fang was enough to frighten the enemy.

After all, the explosive wolf fang was something that even a great-ancestor-level powerhouse dared not neglect.

Sure enough, the dwarf displayed excellent responsiveness even though he was caught off guard, but he still ended up suffering slight injuries, and it was only because he was short. If the man was tall and burly instead, he would have likely had a different ending The dwarf was unusually decisive. He immediately changed his target and charged at Ou Yangming; he wanted to get rid of the unsteady future trouble.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming sneered in disdain and swayed his body. Instead of exchanging blows with the dwarf, he turned to lunge at the other sturdy men.

The darker the environment, the more advantageous it was for Ou Yangming.

He approached another strong man and kicked the man’s mouth. His forceful yet ingenious power suppressed the man’s painful shriek. At the same time, the built man’s body was thrown at the dwarf.

When the dwarf heard the sound of the wind, he slashed with his sharp weapon without any hesitation.

Given that he was a Yang Grade powerhouse, he was merciless, hence he cut the man’s body into two.

Consequently, the well-built man screamed due to the immense pain, and it was only then that the dwarf knew he had killed his own man. The dwarf was furious, and he hotly pursued his enemy.

Next, many other bodies were thrown his way one after another.

By going around the area, Ou Yangming captured the ten other men who were hiding in this direction, and he tossed them at the dwarf.

Whether the men were Force Grade martial artists or Yin Grade martial artists, they could not resist Ou Yangming at all.

This was the result of the huge disparity between their martial arts boundary. It was worth noting that Ou Yangming could also contend with Supreme Great Ancestors through the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, so would he not become a laughing stock if he could not take down the insignificant men?

While Ou Yangming was having fun, the dwarf became ice-cold, as though he had fallen into an icehouse.

The dwarf had gone all-out, but he could not get any closer to Ou Yangming, and the fact that his companions were being thrown at him made him realize that the stranger in the dark was not inferior to him.

This was because if the dwarf was in Ou Yangming’s shoes, perhaps he could kill the men, but he could not capture them alive.

Before long, the dwarf halted and turned to flee.

Seeing as things were off, he quickly made the best decision.

Ou Yangming chuckled and shook his head. ‘I overestimated him.’

Suddenly, a mad roar was heard coming from behind him. When he turned to look, he saw Hu Yicheng and his people charging in his direction with torches and weapons.

Ou Yangming took a glance at them, then he flashed and left the mess to go after the dwarf.

Hu Yicheng and the other people arrived at the men’s hiding spot after a brief moment, but when they saw the powerless men moaning on the ground, they were dumbfounded. Sir Hu and the rest had only plucked up their courage to attack the strong men because they wanted to help their secret helper in the dark, but they did not expect the fight to end so quickly. When Hu Yicheng and his people looked at the captives on the ground, they felt like they were in a dream.

“Arrest them!” Scholar Xu shouted; he was the fastest to react to the situation.

The cavaliers seized the rascals and tied them up. They looked around them to search for the frightening Yang Grade powerhouse, but he was nowhere to be found.

Some moments later, the cavaliers slowly expanded their search area and found that the other men, who laid in an ambush in another direction, had already gotten away after witnessing the situation. As for the Yang Grade dwarf, who gave Hu Yicheng and his people a sense of despair, he was already gone.

After interrogating the evildoers, Hu Yicheng looked at Scholar Xu in confusion. “Brother Xu, what do we have that’s so valuable that even a Yang Grade powerhouse coveted it?”

“There are plenty of treasures in the world; perhaps it’s something whose background is also unknown to us.” Scholar Xu smiled bitterly. He looked at the three big carriages behind them, but he was also puzzled.

Throughout his journey with Hu Yicheng, it was true that they had gathered many rare items, but due to his limited vision, he could not identify if they were fine objects.

Hu Yicheng pondered and asked softly, “Brother Xu, did you manage to see that person just now?”

Earlier on, they vaguely noticed a figure through the flames, but the person left swiftly, so they did not get a clear look at him.

“I’m sure you know my unordinary eyesight. If I’m not mistaken, it was…” Scholar Xu looked grim when he spoke, then he whispered a name to Hu Yicheng’s ear.

Hu Yicheng’s face changed at once. He exclaimed, “Impossible!”

His voice drew everyone’s attention, so he waved his hand and ordered, “Spread out and don’t let your guards down.”

The cavaliers responded to him, and they dared not eavesdrop anymore.

“Brother Xu, are you sure you saw it right?” Hu Yicheng lowered his voice and remarked after a pause, “A year ago, he was only an ordinary person without any martial arts foundation!”

“I know that it’s unbelievable for an ordinary man to resist a Yang Grade powerhouse after having cultivated martial arts for only a year, but…” Scholar Xu smiled bitterly and pointed at his eyes. “I couldn’t have seen it wrongly with these eyes!”

The two of them looked at each other, and they looked somewhat fierce.

All of a sudden, they turned at the same time and stared strangely at one of the cavaliers.

The cavalier felt a chill down his spine. He forced a smile, and a clear lash mark was seen on his face.

Ou Yangming fluttered and pursued the dwarf closely.

The dwarf ran with all his might, but how could he escape from Ou Yangming?

When he arrived at the main road, he stopped and yelled, “Who are you? There’s no enmity between us, so why aren’t you letting me go?”

Ou Yangming approached the dwarf leisurely. Although it was quite dark, the moonlight was as white as snow, so they could see each other’s faces at a close range.

The dwarf widened his eyes when he saw Ou Yangming “Yin Grade?” He mumbled as he glared at the young fellow. Following that, he looked around as he recalled something, and he called out, “Why did you send a junior!”

After being teased by Ou Yangming, he did not believe it was the doing of a little Yin Grade martial artist.

Ou Yangming shook his head helplessly, but he was already used to it.

“Since you won’t come out, I’ll kill him first before I get to you.” A flash was seen in the dwarf’s eyes as he smiled hideously. He bore a threatening aura when he looked at Ou Yangming, then he shouted weirdly, and a flash of saber-light appeared like snowfall.

Ou Yangming grinned. When the saber-light was about to hit his head, he shifted a little, and the saber-light, which seemed to have shrouded over the whole world, brushed past him.

The dwarf almost could not believe his eyes. ‘What was that body technique? It’s so exquisite that it’s simply unbelievable!’

Despite that, before he could regain his senses, the little Yin Grade teen swung his fist at him.

It looked like a straightforward punch, which was aimed at the dwarf’s face, but when the dwarf wanted to slash with his saber, he was alarmed.

Subsequently, the seemingly ordinary punch posed an unimaginable and enormous pressure on him.

Judging from the intense momentum contained in the punch, how could it be made by a Ying Grade cultivator?

It was unquestionably a punch from a Supreme Great Ancestor!

The dwarf cried and was frightened out of his wits. He immediately regarded Ou Yangming as an Extreme Grade powerhouse in disguise.

He flew backwards and crazily swung his saber in all directions, resulting in countless blade auras surging out of his weapon. That said, when the saber force was at its peak, he threw it away and fled.

It was a crafty escape plan. As long as the overbearing saber could buy the dwarf some time, he could break free. Moreover, without the saber as a burden and given that he had a unique body, perhaps he could run away successfully.

However, just as the dwarf sped up to enter the forest, he felt pain on his body. An exceptionally strange and strong power hit his back, causing his armor of essential Qi to be destroyed. The power then spread to every corner of his body through his meridians.

Accordingly, the dwarf staggered and collapsed to the ground in extreme fear although he was not resigned to the outcome.
