Such acts of bullying were not particularly strange occurrences anywhere across the continent. After all, in this world where strength reigned supreme, having the bigger fist was the ultimate truth.
Though many sympathised with the two beauties about to be violated, given their wariness of the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group’s power, clearly no one was willing to help.
After all, a Mercenary Group with a Spirit Realm expert holding the fort was already sufficient to dominate this territory and walk sideways. Furthermore, behind them stood a Force these people were far from capable of provoking.
Even if one had the heart to play the hero saving the beauty, one had to weigh one’s own capabilities. To provoke the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group would undoubtedly be throwing oneself into the Tiger’s mouth.
At this moment, that middle-aged man with a face full of sinister laughter had his palm already approaching the two women.
Just as his palm was merely an inch away from the two women, his figure suddenly came to a bizarre halt.
*Pfft!* Immediately after, his figure shot backwards as if struck by a heavy blow, his savage face instantly turning deathly pale as fresh blood erupted violently from his mouth.
*Bang!* The Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster middle-aged man was thrown a full ten metres away before finally falling to the ground like a dead dog, moaning continuously.
This sudden turn of events caused the originally clamorous crowd to instantly fall silent. Countless people stared dumbfounded at the middle-aged man who had been blasted away, their minds momentarily short-circuiting.
The two women who had been trembling with fear also looked with lingering shock at this suddenly occurring scene before them. After a moment, everyone seemed to become aware of something and abruptly turned their heads to look in a certain direction.
There, a slender figure in white robes stood proudly, a rather handsome face entering everyone’s vision.
Looking at that handsome face, both Xiang Ya and Xiang Xuan felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had encountered this person somewhere before.
Xiang Wu and his companion, who had originally been severely injured on the ground, also took this opportunity to scramble up, hastily protecting the two women as they cupped their fists towards the white-robed youth ahead. “Many thanks to this Brother for intervening!”
At this moment, outside the Misty Forest, the crowd that had been in shock also gradually came to their senses. Immediately, gazes continuously swept up and down this youth who had appeared out of nowhere. Looking at his appearance, he definitely was not even twenty years old, and moreover, his body didn’t emanate any intimidating aura fluctuations. Even his build appeared rather slender.
They really could not understand how such a fellow had managed to blast away a Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster!
Amidst their astonishment, many people’s eyes also revealed pitying looks.
Regardless of how this youth had accomplished this feat, daring to interfere in the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group’s affairs was simply seeking death!
In this region, the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group acted unscrupulously. Who did not know they had a Spirit Realm Leader, and even behind them stood the Ye Family, a Force comparable to those ancient Millennial Families in the Central Province!?
Those several members of the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group, seeing their leading middle-aged man blasted away, also hurriedly ran over to help him up. Then, pairs of vicious eyes all looked towards the young man who had appeared out of nowhere.
*Ptui!* After being helped up, the middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with dirt, his gaze looking venomously at the calm-faced Qin Yichen, that sharp voice also resounding, “Where did this little bastard come from? Tired of living? How dare you interfere in our Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group’s affairs!”
Hearing these insulting words, Qin Yichen’s originally calm expression immediately became somewhat gloomy.
“You’re so rude! How can you curse at Brother Yichen!?” Before Qin Yichen could speak, a jade arm had already hooked around his arm. Simultaneously, Feng Qianxue’s voice carrying a trace of anger resounded.
Hearing this voice as pleasant as a lark’s song, the middle-aged man and others opposite all froze. When they saw that devastatingly beautiful face, lecherous looks flickered across their faces.
“This Brother, many thanks for today’s matter. You should leave quickly!” Seeing their gazes, Xiang Wu’s expression changed as he hurriedly cupped his fists towards Qin Yichen. Then, his voice carrying a pleading tone, he advised. “If possible, please help take these two women away. I’ll hold back these beasts!”
“Father, I won’t leave!” Hearing this, Xiang Ya resolutely exclaimed. Beside her, Xiang Xuan, who had originally been somewhat afraid, now also clenched her small hands, making her attitude clear.
“The Dawn Mercenary Group is already gone. If we lose Father as well, what meaning is there for us to live? We might as well die together!”
Xiang Ya bit her teeth tightly, her tone carrying rage.
“You… you two!” Xiang Wu furrowed his brow, about to become angry, but seeing the bitter expressions on his beloved Daughters’ faces, he immediately let out a defeated sigh, waving his hand as he said grief-stricken: “Ah… very well then. Today, we Father and Daughters shall go together to see your Mother!”
Qin Yichen on the side, watching this scene, couldn’t help finding it too dramatic. He shook his head and smiled lightly. “Uncle Xiang Wu, rest assured. With me protecting you, there’s no one in this territory who dares touch you in the slightest!”
Hearing Qin Yichen’s form of address, Xiang Wu slightly froze, then shook his head with a bitter smile. “Little Brother, your good intentions are appreciated, but this Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group isn’t something you can provoke. Their leader is the Ye Family’s Son-in-law. Later, we’ll delay them for a while. You should leave quickly!”
“Ye Family?” Qin Yichen blinked. Ye Liangchen’s Family only had him as a sole Son. Clearly, this Ye Family wasn’t Ye Liangchen’s Family. However, apart from that Ye Family, he really couldn’t recall where else in this territory there was any Ye Family.
“Leave? Hmph, daring to injure this Great One and still wanting to leave?” The middle-aged man opposite wore a sinister smile on his face. Then, with a wave of his palm, a signal flare shot into the sky, exploding in mid-air.
“*Hmph!* All the exits here are guarded by our Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group. Today, no one can leave!” After releasing the signal flare, the middle-aged man’s gaze swept over Feng Qianxue, his eyes flashing with burning desire. Then, with a wave of his arm, he shouted loudly, “Except for those three beauties, kill everyone else!”
Hearing his command, the several mercenaries beside him hesitated slightly before grasping their weapons and looking ill-intentioned towards Qin Yichen and the others.
Although they hadn’t clearly seen how their leading middle-aged man had been blasted away earlier, they merely regarded this as an accident.
What capabilities could a mere youth not even twenty years old have to contend with them!
