600 Angry Villagers
The news of Huo Laozu's death seemed to be a certainty, and the bounty placed on him by the Demon Slayer Division plunged him into deep panic. As a lackey of the Huo family, he had committed numerous evils, and if he were reported, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Inside the house, the skinny grandson's eyes shone with disbelief. This was revenge, this was the light that had been suppressed for so long, this was the light of hope, which had finally arrived.
The eldest grandson peered through the crack in the door, staring nervously and angrily at the little boy who was almost kneeling on the ground.
He secretly gloated, thinking, 'So you've finally met your match! You're afraid now!'
His heart was filled with hatred, because it was this man who forced his parents to go to the mine, where they had been gone for several years and had not been heard from since.
Whenever I think of my parents' departing figures, the suffering I've endured, and my younger brother, who is emaciated, my heart aches as if it's being cut by a knife.
'Kill him. He's a lackey of the Huo family, practically a member of the Huo family. He deserves to die.'
At this moment, thoughts that I had only dared to think about before have now become an increasingly intense ruthlessness in my heart, as if they are about to burst out of my chest.
Gently remove Grandpa's hand; he is still in shock and hasn't come to his senses.
He turned and walked toward where he had hidden the wood-chopping knife, his steps trembling slightly, but slowly becoming firm and resolute.
His hand touched the familiar hilt of the knife, gripped it tightly, his eyes hardened, and the anger in his heart burned fiercely.
Open the door quietly!
Xiao Bazi seemed to sense the chill behind him and slowly turned around, meeting his eldest grandson's eyes filled with hatred.
He couldn't help but tremble, forcing himself to remain calm as he whispered in terror, "What are you doing? What do you want to do!"
His voice, however, revealed an undisguised fear and terror!
His eyes gleamed with a resolute light, as if they wanted to devour him.
His voice trembled slightly as he threatened, "Boy, don't you dare mess around. I'm a member of the Huo family. If you touch me, the Huo family won't let you off!"
"Get back inside right now, and I'll pretend I didn't see anything."
The hand holding the knife trembled more than ever before, and his eyes rolled back into their sockets.
Gripping the wood-chopping knife tightly, he approached Xiao Bazi step by step, his eyes filled with determination.
He whispered, "Father, Mother, tonight your child will avenge you."
As his eldest grandson approached, Xiao Bazi's fear spread like wildfire.
His eyes hardened, and he instinctively drew his dagger, gripping it tightly. He growled, "Kid, get out of here, or I'll kill you."
But suddenly, he turned around abruptly and tried to run away.
With a loud bang, the door was pushed open, making the surrounding air seem to tremble.
With a deafening roar, a furious and pained scream echoed through the street: "You little bastard, today I'll chop you into mincemeat!"
A sallow-faced, emaciated boy in coarse clothes rushed over, tears streaming down his face, his cold eyes like ice that would never melt.
"Scum!" the eldest grandson roared, quickening his pace and swinging his wood-chopping knife at Xiao Bazi.
With all his strength and spirit, he delivered a powerful and heavy blow, as if to vent all his anger and pain.
"Bang! Bang!" The sound of doors opening echoed all around, like waves of anger surging. Then, a variety of angry voices rang out, sweeping in like a storm.
"Little Bazi, I'm going to chop you into pieces!" a rough male voice roared, filled with boundless hatred.
“I’ve wanted to teach that scoundrel a lesson for a long time!” another voice chimed in, its tone revealing barely concealed indignation and a hint of worry.
In an instant, a crowd gathered around, their eyes flashing with anger and ferocity.
Long sticks, carrying poles, and hoes rushed towards Xiao Bazi, raised high, and swung around, making a series of whistling sounds.
Terrified, he brandished a dagger and threatened, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
He tried to escape, but was surrounded and had nowhere to run. He could only watch helplessly as the farm tools came crashing down on him.
With a muffled thud, a long stick slammed into Xiao Bazi's back, causing him to stagger.
Another thud struck his calf, causing him to shudder and lose his balance.
Immediately afterwards, carrying poles, hoes, and other farm tools fell one after another, each blow causing Xiao Bazi excruciating pain.
Suddenly, a sharper pain shot through me; I felt an excruciating agony as my body was struck by a wood-chopping axe…
At this moment, he was speechless, and could only use all his strength to continue wielding the farm tools in his hands, venting the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Blood and gore were everywhere, brains were splattered, and the body was smashed into a pulp.
With Yun Baiyi, Wei Si, Zhang Dazhuang, and Shan Qing joining forces, the Huo family instantly lost its backbone and was swiftly suppressed.
The offensive was as fierce as a storm, and the resisters were not spared.
Ren Pingsheng had finished half of his breathing adjustment and couldn't help but feel a little better.
Shanlong came to the side.
Upon hearing the sounds subside, Ren Pingsheng immediately took to the air and joined Yun Baiyi and the other three.
Seeing that the four people were safe and sound, he felt relieved.
He said softly, "Thank you all for your help; I'm sorry to have troubled you all."
Yun Baiyi chuckled softly and said, "I should be thanking Brother Ren. It's good that you've woken up. We were still racking our brains about how to clean up this mess. Your arrival is just in time; we'll leave this matter to you."
Zhang Dazhuang laughed heartily, gently patted Ren Pingsheng on the shoulder, and said, "You're just as brave as me. Let's have a big meal together sometime."
After the joke, Ren Pingsheng smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "The mine is probably in a bit of a mess right now. I'd appreciate it if you could go there and I'll send some people to help clean up the mess."
I'll make the arrangements here.
Recently, the Demon Slaying Division has also taken in some peripheral subordinates. Although their cultivation levels aren't particularly high, they're quite good at doing these odd jobs.
Yun Baiyi nodded. "The foreman from the Huo family at the mine, Shili, will be handled by Zhang Dazhuang, Shanlong, and me. However, you'll still need to send your subordinates over quickly to deal with these minor details later."
After saying that, Yun Baiyi and the others quickly flew towards the mine.
Wes said softly, "Let's go, let's look around and see if any have escaped."
Shan Qing nodded in agreement. The Huo family was a powerful force, and although their core members had been suppressed, there were bound to be remnants or stubborn individuals still lurking in the shadows. Tonight was the perfect opportunity to completely eliminate these hidden dangers.
Yun Heiyi led a group of men under the cover of night, their figures appearing and disappearing in the moonlight, their eyes sharp as an eagle's! Occasionally, the howls of wild beasts echoed from the dense forest, and there seemed to be many figures among them.
