Chapter 2004 - 2001: Overestimating Oneself

"Leave? He can’t leave." A disciple of the Joyful Holy Land snorted with disdain and said, "Kid, you really overestimate yourself. We’re doing business here, but you have to butt in. What, are you familiar with this woman?"

"I suppose he’s trying to pick up the spoils behind us?" Another disciple sneered, his expression becoming increasingly lewd, "Hahaha, why don’t we be generous and let him have a taste first?"

The four of them laughed wantonly, their laughter nauseating.

Loli trembled with anger, her teeth grinding loudly. If it weren’t for the power disparity, she would have rushed up to tear these people to pieces.

"I’m sorry, I’ll be protecting this person. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get lost quickly." Xu Wendong’s expression was calm, but a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

He had long heard of the notorious reputation of the Joyful Holy Land and took this opportunity to see the true skills of these so-called powerful sects’ disciples.

Upon hearing Xu Wendong’s words, the few from the Joyful Holy Land were initially taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Did I hear wrong just now?"

"He actually told us to scram?"

"Hahaha, senior brother, it seems we’ve run into a little loser who doesn’t know life from death today."

As they ridiculed him, they cracked their knuckles, ready to teach Xu Wendong a lesson.

One of the disciples with a Fourth Level Cultivation was the first to make a move.

With a loud shout, he rushed fiercely toward Xu Wendong, raising his right fist high, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind, aiming to smash directly at Xu Wendong’s face.

This punch was full of power; if it hit, even a master at the Third Level of Tongyou Realm would be seriously injured.

But Xu Wendong remained calm and unhurried.

He focused his gaze on the opponent’s fist, and just as it was about to land on him, he swiftly sidestepped with the agility of a leopard.

"Oh? He managed to dodge?" The Joyful Holy Land disciple’s eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly reverted to a vicious demeanor.

He snorted coldly and backhanded another punch, this one faster and at an even trickier angle.

However.

Xu Wendong, still effortlessly, extended his hand and easily caught this punch.

His mouth slightly curved into a cold smile, "I told you to scram, it seems you didn’t hear, so in that case..."

Before he could finish, Xu Wendong suddenly increased the force in his hand, and with a crisp "crack" sound, it was like a branch being forcibly snapped in two.

The Joyful Holy Land disciple’s arm twisted and deformed instantly. His face twisted in pain, mouth opening as if to scream, but it was blocked by the axe that suddenly appeared in Xu Wendong’s hand.

"Then die!" Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with cold light, his axe swung fiercely, a sharp gleam slicing through the air, splitting the disciple’s body in half, blood splattering everywhere.

Warm blood sprayed onto Xu Wendong’s face, but he didn’t care, his expression grim and imposing, resembling the Grim Reaper from Hell.

"Bastard, he actually dared to kill our people."

"Kill him!"

The remaining three, upon seeing this, were instantly furious, all drawing their treasures.

All at once, lights shone and murderous intent filled the air.

Loli stood dumbfounded at the spot, watching everything unfold in front of her, her mind blank.

Although she had known Xu Wendong had some means and had witnessed him trapping and killing hundreds of trackers before, at that time, she thought he relied on the Sword Array.

But now, Xu Wendong had so easily killed someone with a flick of his hand, his strength simply surpassing her imagination.

"Do you think I’ll be afraid just because you all come together?"

Xu Wendong’s mouth curled into a smirk, the axe in his hand seemed to come alive, swinging fiercely with might.

He used the Dark Dragon Roaming Step, his figure flickered, apparating like a ghost behind another disciple.

The disciple hadn’t even had time to react when Xu Wendong’s axe, carrying a thousand-pound force, ruthlessly smashed onto his neck.

With a "whoosh", a streak of blood light flashed, the disciple’s head flew high, his body collapsing heavily like a kite with a broken string.

The remaining two both possessed a Sixth Level Cultivation of Tongyou Realm.

At this moment, their eyes burned with furious flames, their killing intent almost engulfing Xu Wendong.

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously shouting, "Mysterious Light Palm!"

As the shout fell, they both struck, sending two huge palm seals rolling with Yin Energy, pressing toward Xu Wendong like two small mountains.

Wherever the palm seals passed, the air was torn apart, making a "sizzle" sound, the ground also shattered by the aftermath into cracks.

"This must be a Fourth Grade Divine Power technique? It seems your great powers do have some reserves, equipping ordinary disciples with Fourth Grade Divine Power techniques." Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with excitement. Not only was he unafraid, he seemed like a hunter spotting his prey.

"Unfortunately, it’s useless against me!" Xu Wendong laughed loudly, his eyes bursting with bright light.

He gripped the axe with both hands, channeling the power of the Nine Netherworlds Manual within him, fiercely hacking at the two palm seals.

Only to hear a "boom", a loud explosion, intense energy ripples spread outward centered on Xu Wendong.

This axe from Xu Wendong, its power was terrifying, not only instantly shattering the two palm seals, but the soul power and Yin Energy contained within was wildly devoured by the Nine Netherworlds Manual.

This devouring force, like a bottomless black hole, sucked everything in.

In quick succession, the axe cut through, directly landing on the head of one of them.

The person didn’t even have time to react, his body forcibly torn open, his internal organs spilling everywhere, an extremely bloody scene.

The last one remaining, watching his companions die tragically one by one at Xu Wendong’s hand, the fear in his eyes reached its peak.

His legs wobbled, barely able to stand, his voice trembling as he shouted, "Who... who are you? Killing people from the Joyful Holy Land, you won’t escape, you’re doomed!"

"Kill if I kill, and since I can’t escape, I might as well take one more from Joyful Holy Land with me." Xu Wendong smiled coldly, not a hint of mercy in his eyes.

He wielded the axe again, chopping down.

That disciple at the Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm, ultimately couldn’t escape his fate, being chopped into two pieces, blood gushing out, turning the ground red.

Thick with the scent of blood, the air made one almost gag.

Loli watched this all thoroughly.

As a senior sister of the Divine Yin Hall, she had seen countless talents, but never had she seen anyone like Xu Wendong, who could kill a master at the Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Such strength, in the Three Great Sects, was undoubtedly of top-tier standing.

"Senior Sister Luo, are you alright?" Xu Wendong put away his axe, his face returning to that usual cheerful demeanor.

He gestured, and four storage bags flew into his hand.

These were the Joyful Holy Land disciples’ storage bags, surely hiding many treasures within.

"Senior Sister Luo, I won’t share these things with you." Xu Wendong said as he put the storage bags into his own pouch, "But you can keep that Fifth-grade treasure."

Loli, still immersed in shock, mechanically nodded upon hearing this.

In her view.

This Fifth-grade treasure should rightfully belong to Xu Wendong. Had he not appeared in time, she probably would have perished long ago, let alone keeping the treasure!
