Chapter 442: Display of Martial Prowess

The scimitar that was knocked away by Yan Liqiang’s spear flew at lightning speed. Like a chakram, it slit the throats of those Shatu warriors in the hall. Before those Shatu warriors could react, the scimitar had slit four of their allies’ throats. Blood spurted out, dyeing the platform into a bloody canvas…

Although the scimitar flew at a high speed, Yan Liqiang wasn’t slow either. When the scimitar flew out, Yan Liqiang’s figure zoomed up to the platform from below. With an angry bellow, he shook the spear in his hands and lunged at Elder Gezong of the Great Moon Tribe.

“AHH…!” Elder Gezong was nearly scared out of his wits when he realized that Yan Liqiang was already in front of him with his spear coming directly at his throat in just the blink of an eye. At this point, it was already too late for him to run. Watching the spear closing in on him, Elder Gezong instinctively tried to deflect it with his longsword.

It took Yan Liqiang only a spear to kill Morbeto, let alone Elder Gezong. Although the elder’s sword clashed against Yan Liqiang’s spear, his counterattack was merely child’s play as it was full of flaws and openings. Yan Liqiang ground his spearhead against the sword’s blade, then exploited the opening by thrusting his spear forward when Elder Gezong tried to switch stances for his next attack.

“Oooof…!”

The sharp spearhead pierced Elder Gezong’s throat. Yan Liqiang lifted his spear with Elder Gezong’s body dangling like a salted fish, then smashed him hard into the three other Shatu warriors who could barely react at the side. There was the terrifying sound of bones fracturing and being crushed. The three Shatu warriors coughed out blood and were sent flying off the high platform before they landed heavily on the ground. All of them instantly lost their lives.

“CHARGE…!” The remaining elders and warriors of the Great Moon Tribe finally reacted with angry bellows and began to fight back.

F*cking hell, these people are kill stealing…!

Yan Liqiang muttered under his breath when he saw the Great Moon Tribe people making their moves. He increased his hand speed; his spear made noises akin to dragon roars and formed a phantom image of a huge flower about the size of seven or eight bowls. It enveloped the Shatu warriors who were charging at him within a radius of three meters…

These Shatu people were not weak, but they were rare ingredients for the ‘toy capsule machine’ that Yan Liqiang didn’t want to waste.

Yan Liqiang’s spear pierced the throats of those Shatu warriors who surrounded him. Blood flowers bloomed on their necks and then scattered like red fragments of exploded firecrackers before they collapsed around Yan Liqiang.

Right after taking care of those warriors, Yan Liqiang bolted to another three Shatu warriors who were surrounded by a few warriors from the Great Moon Tribe while yelling, “Let me get them…!”

As soon as his voice trailed off, he leaped into the battle ring and swung his fine steel spear fiercely. The three Shatu warriors tried to block his attack, but Yan Liqiang’s powerful strength deflected their weapons back at them and he also swept his spear with terrific force. The three men were instantly sent flying thirty or forty meters away before they landed heavily on the ground, dead with every bone in their body broken.

Yan Liqiang made every second count. After sending a few more Shatu warriors flying, none were left standing on the platform or even within the entire Moon Prayer Hall. The remaining few had been killed off by the few elders from the Great Moon Tribe.

It was a mess on the platform and the grand hall reeked of blood. The elders and warriors from the Great Moon Tribe were panting heavily while looking at Yan Liqiang cautiously with slight fear. No one dared to approach him because his earlier performance had frightened them terribly. After all, this unknown and suspicious-looking Han Chinese man could kill Morbeto like he was slaughtering a dog. No one knew how he got into the Moon Prayer Hall either. If he were to harbor ill intentions against the Great Moon Tribe, no one in this grand hall would survive.

“May I ask for your name, great hero?” Just then, Selena’s mother, Seranchi, pushed aside a few of the warriors who had been protecting her. She ignored the warning in the elders’ eyes and bravely walked out of the crowd to stand before Yan Liqiang. She put her right hand on her chest and bowed to Yan Liqiang, greeting him in the Great Moon Tribe’s way. “Chief Seranchi of the Great Moon Tribe would like to thank you for your help, great hero!”

This woman was indeed a smart one. She knew that if Yan Liqiang indeed harbored ill intentions against them, she would have nowhere to hide. There was no way the remaining elders and warriors in this grand hall from their tribe could kill him. Therefore, she might as well step forward and take the initiative to communicate with him. At this point, her priorities were to gain his favor and decipher his real intentions.

Yan Liqiang was secretly singing praises for her in his heart. As expected of the chief. Her courage and insight greatly excelled that of the other elders. It was only at this point in time did he take a good look at Seranchi.

As Selena’s mother, there was no doubt that Seranchi was a great beauty too. She appeared to look like she was only in her thirties, showing no signs of aging. She wore her silky black hair in a bun on top of her head, and her radiant skin was glowing. Seranchi’s face shape, big watery eyes, and sharp nose resembled Selena’s. The only difference between them was that graceful and wise aura she exuded as the chief of the Great Moon Tribe. Her wisdom was a type of charm that could only be seen in women her age.

When Seranchi bowed, Yan Liqiang’s gaze couldn’t help but be drawn to the amazing cleavage below the neckline of her long dress. As expected of a woman who had given birth before, they were fuller and rounder than Selena’s. Just in this regard alone, he could tell that the mother and daughter indeed shared the same set of genes.

Seranchi straightened back up. Her gaze met with Yan Liqiang’s burning one the moment she lifted her head. Even so, she showed no signs of change in her expression and she seemed to have rather gotten used to all of this, including the way some men looked at women. Likewise, Yan Liqiang also had a calm expression on his face while he activated Psychic Serpent’s abilities as usual. He then smiled at her, “My name is Long Aotian. I am a friend of Selena’s!”

—— Oh, a friend of Selena’s? How come she never spoke of this to me? Oh right, Selena must have been with this man together yesterday and was able to stay safe from the Shatu people. I wonder what his intentions are. How is he so powerful? It must be Selena who brought him in here through the secret passages. That means Selena must be safe and sound…!

“Selena hasn’t returned since she went out yesterday. I fear that she might have been captured by the Shatu people! Is she safe?”

Seranchi’s words contradicted the thoughts in her mind. Even though she knew Selena was probably safe and sound right now, she still had a look of concern on her face. She even went up to Yan Liqiang and seized his arm with both hands while saying that.

“Selena is safe. She was nearly captured by those Shatu people yesterday. Fortunately, I was there to rescue her…” Yan Liqiang replied calmly.

“Mother…!” Yan Liqiang had just finished speaking when Selena came running out from the passage where he had come out from earlier. As soon as she reached the grand hall, she shouted loudly and then ran toward the platform.

“Selena…!” Seranchi lifted the hem of her dress up and rushed down the platform. The mother and daughter embraced each other tightly below the platform, both shedding tears of joy.

When Yan Liqiang was talking with Seranchi, the elders in the grand hall signaled the remaining warriors from their tribe with their eyes. All of them rushed down the platform with the fastest speed possible and removed the three bars behind the huge metal doors at the entrance of the Moon Prayer Hall. A group of anxious Great Moon Tribe warriors outside the hall was finally able to enter.

“Bad news, Chief and Elders! The Shatu people… they’ve come…!”
