Chapter 24
Murderous Intent
"You...you three are asking for it!"
Liu Ergou screamed repeatedly, each movement of his hand causing him excruciating pain.
He used a sudden force to break the arrow and pull it out.
Another sharp pain struck, and cold sweat dripped down my face.
He looked up and glared fiercely at Shen Yi and the other two.
"Ah Kun".
Shen Yi glanced at it casually and gestured to Shen Kun.
"exist!"
Shen Kun immediately understood and quickly drew a dark black arrow from the quiver and nocked it on the bowstring.
This time.
He pointed the arrow directly at Liu Ergou's forehead and grinned maliciously.
Liu Ergou's face froze instantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
In the fierce eyes of this Shen family brat, he seemed to see the ferocious, ravenous wolf!
This kid really knows how to shoot him!
The others, upon seeing Shen Kun's dark black arrow with its sharp, cold gleam, all changed their expressions and felt a chill run down their spines.
The three siblings, who were vaguely surrounded, couldn't help but take a step back.
"You can try moving the demon rabbit we hunted again."
"If my brother's next twenty arrows don't kill you..."
Shen Yi stood between the three, a slight smile on his face, and his voice came:
"You may take this demon rabbit as you please."
Are you kidding me!
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Liu Ergou's heart trembled, his hands and feet turned cold, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
A surge of resentment welled up within him, and he longed to sneer at the three brats and say:
You're just a kid who hasn't even grown any hair yet, how dare you try to kill me?
but……
The bloody hole from the arrow wound that pierced through his right palm was a shocking sight, and he was still in excruciating pain.
And then there was the murderous glint in the eyes of the second son of the Shen family.
They were all silently warning Liu Ergou not to try to provoke Shen Yun's three sons!
Otherwise, the consequences would be something he absolutely could not bear!
"Look at the mess you've made..."
Liu Ergou forced out an extremely awkward smile, subconsciously staggered back two steps, and said sheepishly, "Uncle Liu was just joking with you guys, why take it seriously, right?"
"Liu Ergou, who the hell do you think you are in front of my big brother? Daring to call yourself 'uncle'? Hey! You're not worthy!!"
Shen Kun tightened the bowstring to three-tenths of its maximum tension, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and coldly rebuked.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Feng Youtian said in a deep voice:
"That's enough, Shen Yi. We're your uncles, after all. We should respect seniority and not make things too ugly."
He glanced around and continued, "Keep in mind that there are only three of you, while we have seven!"
"You're welcome to give it a try."
"I'm sure you'll be the first one to die!"
Shen Yi looked at him coldly, casually took out an arrow, and drew back the bowstring.
He watched as the three siblings simultaneously moved the arrows and aimed them at him.
Feng Youtian's expression turned even uglier.
It would be one thing if one or two of the other underlings died.
How could Feng Youtian possibly put himself in such a dangerous situation?
Moreover, not only him, but no one present wanted anything to happen to them.
When things got to the point where something went wrong, they ran faster than rabbits.
"Hmph, I hope you three siblings can live well in our village. Let's go!"
After saying that, Feng Youtian waved his hand and led his men away.
After walking a certain distance.
Liu Ergou couldn't help but say, "Brother Tian, they're just three little brats. Why don't the seven of us go at them together and kill them all?"
Feng Youtian heard this.
He turned around and slapped Liu Ergou, knocking him to the ground.
He cursed with a sinister look in his eyes:
"You really want me dead, don't you? Didn't you see those three bastards pointing their arrows at me?"
He had thought that Shen Yun's three children were young and weak, and planned to take advantage of the situation to make some money.
But just now, looking at their fierce muscular physiques and aura...
He had only experienced this with the hunting team, and with Wang Tieming and his men.
This is an aura that emanates from within.
This proves that those three bastards are at least masters of the three fierce moves of the Bull!
Feng Youtian was just an ordinary Qi and Blood Realm Level 3 player. He used to be in the second hunting team, responsible for hunting common wild animals in the Black Mountain.
I was only recently assigned by Wang Tieming to hunt monsters.
In reality, I only had a slight understanding of the three styles of the Bull Rider.
If they had really started fighting just now...
A cultivator who has mastered the Three Styles of the Savage Bull can completely overwhelm three to five opponents of equal strength who have not mastered the Three Styles of the Savage Bull!
"How on earth did these three kids cultivate? They've improved so quickly!"
"Moreover, he seems to have mastered the Three Styles of the Wild Bull, and his aura is as fierce as a bull."
"No, I have to hurry and master the Three Styles of the Savage Bull while I can still get a share of the demon beast meat!"
Feng Youtian's eyes hardened.
He didn't want to face such a thing again, so he could only put on a fierce front but was weak inside, and slunk away.
"You're all part of my crew. We'll split any monster meat we hunt these next few days, and try to break through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm! Then go practice the Three Forms of the Savage Bull!"
"We'll settle this score with Shen Yun's brat then!"
……
"Big brother, are you just letting them go like that?"
Shen Kun put down his bow and arrow, picked up the demon rabbit and put it into his basket.
"We can't just kill them all; there are people watching us."
Shen Yi smiled and glanced around.
In the distance, shadowy figures could be seen, attracting the attention of many people who were quietly observing the scene.
"It's almost time. Let's gather everything and head back."
Shen Kun responded, retrieved the Deep Black Arrow he had just shot, and the three of them headed down the mountain.
At dusk.
They returned home.
Shen Yi suddenly turned to Shen Yuan and instructed her, "Little sister, get five catties of demon rabbit meat and send it to Guan Yue."
The previous hunting of monsters was all carried out without anyone knowing.
Therefore, they temporarily concealed the fact that they could hunt monsters and did not immediately repay the five catties of monster meat owed to Guan Yue.
Instead, they used it to fully enhance the strength of the three siblings.
However, the incident of their confrontation with Feng Youtian's group over the demon rabbit has probably already spread throughout the village.
The five catties of monster meat owed to Guan Yue on credit must now be repaid.
"Okay, I'll take it to Sister Guanyue later."
Watching his younger sister pick up the demon rabbit to deal with it, Shen Yi turned to look at Shen Kun and said softly:
"Ah Kun, don't take off your armor yet. Come out with me for a bit."
"Okay, big brother."
Shen Kun noticed his elder brother's deep gaze, stopped moving involuntarily, felt a slight stirring in his heart, and nodded.
Followed by.
He watched as his elder brother took out two sharpened short thorns from his basket, handed him one, and hid the other in his own waistband.
This is……
Shen Kun had some guesses, but he didn't say anything, and followed his older brother's example by hiding the short thorns on his body.
The two brothers pushed open the door and walked out.
It was getting dark.
The village streets were deserted.
Apart from the hunting party members, no one dared to wander around outside as it was about to get dark.
The village's hunting teams are practically disbanded now, the situation is chaotic, and no one dares to go out.
As dusk falls, everyone goes home early, closes their doors and windows, and rests.
Based on their general impression of the village, the two brothers ventured down a secluded path.
Before long, they found their way to a small courtyard.
really!
Shen Kun looked at the small courtyard in front of him, his eyes widening in surprise.
This is Liu Ergou's house!
Thinking about what he was going to do next, Shen Kun's palms were instantly filled with heat, and a fiery killing intent surged wildly in his heart.
The wall is not high, only two meters high.
Shen Yi lightly leaped and landed on the top of the wall, secretly observing the situation inside.
Seeing that no one was in the yard, they gestured to Shen Kun, and the two of them immediately flipped over and landed lightly in the yard.
They quickly moved towards the wall.
"...Damn it, those three little bastards from the Shen Yun family, just you wait, I'll get my revenge for this arrow wound sooner or later!"
inside the house.
Liu Ergou sat on the stool, his left cheek swollen high. With trembling hands, he applied medicine to his right palm, which had a hole in it. He immediately grimaced in pain and cursed loudly.
"When the time comes, I'll definitely kill them all! That girl Shen Yuan has grown up quite a bit. If she's willing to stay and become my wife, Liu Ergou, I'll consider sparing her life..."
Hearing these words from outside the door, Shen Kun's eyes blazed with rage, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Shen Yi's gaze was icy as he patted his shoulder.
Shen Kun understood and had just stepped back a little distance.
Shen Yi kicked open the wooden door in front of him with a single step!
Bang! !
"who!?"
Liu Ergou was startled when he heard the loud noise explode in his ears and turned his head away.
Two dark figures rushed in from outside the door like ferocious tigers!
He didn't have time to react.
He was suddenly kicked in the chest!
Bang!
Liu Ergou's face was filled with pain and horror as he flew backward several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
Before I could even get up...
In the blink of an eye, he was lifted off the ground like a dead dog, and a gust of evil wind rose up.
"Ergou, I've brought you some game meat!"
However, at that moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Upon seeing this.
Inside the room, Shen Yi turned around and quickly kicked the unlocked wooden door shut.
The fist that was originally aimed at Liu Ergou's head was suddenly reversed, and the person turned around and tightly locked his neck.
Shen Yi's eyes flickered, and his voice was extremely gloomy:
"If you dare make a sound, I'll immediately twist your neck."
"If you want to live, do as I say."
Liu Ergou was so dizzy from the beating that he could hardly breathe.
Hearing the voice right next to his ear, he felt as if a demon was speaking behind him, which made him tremble uncontrollably with cold.
They are the eldest and second eldest sons of the Shen family!
Liu Ergou recognized the voice, and his heart grew even colder.
His will to survive made him nod frantically, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
outside.
Liu Ashui walked into the courtyard carrying a lump of raw meat, but he didn't see Liu Ergou, which puzzled him.
This guy said he was going home to treat his wounds, and he also had to help deliver his share of the meat over.
Where is everyone?
Also, what was that noise coming from the house just now?
Liu Ashui didn't want to think too much about it and just said one sentence.
"Ergou, I've put the meat in your yard. Come out and get it yourself. It's getting dark, and I have to hurry back."
inside the house.
Shen Yi slowly loosened his grip, allowing Liu Ergou to catch his breath.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes from time to time as he said softly, "Liu Ergou, this was probably orchestrated by Feng Youtian, wasn't it?"
"We won't make things difficult for you, we'll only kill the mastermind. Just bring him here, and I'll let you live, how about it?"
Tell the people outside that you've acquired a treasure and are temporarily unable to leave; ask Feng Youtian to come over!
Liu Ergou realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not refuse.
He felt even more fortunate.
The three boys didn't suspect him.
And what he said inside the house just now, they probably didn't hear it either...
Then, recalling Feng Youtian's usual attitude towards him, and the slap he received today, which almost made him unable to stand up.
Liu Ergou's eyes suddenly hardened!
He opened his mouth and called out in a deep voice:
"Ah Shui, wait a minute. On the way back from the mountain, I found a treasure that can increase one's Qi and blood and help one break through to a higher realm. It may require the strength of the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm to deal with this thing."
"I need to keep an eye on it now. Go and call Brother Youtian over; maybe he can help him break through to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm!"
The words fell.
Shen Yi glanced at him in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ergou went so far as to fabricate even more complete information about this fictional treasure.
This guy...
It seems they have quite a strong desire to kill Feng Youtian.
Shen Yi smiled slightly.
When Liu Ashui heard Liu Ergou's words coming from inside the house, and learned that he had such a valuable treasure, his heart was immediately shaken.
"Okay, I'll go tell Arita-nii right away!"
As he turned to leave...
Liu Ashui felt a surge of jealousy.
How come Liu Ergou is so lucky to get such a treasure?
……
"Shen Yi, no, Brother Yi! I've done everything you said, but... can you let me go now?" Liu Ergou said nervously.
Shen Yi said calmly, "I need you to do something later. Don't worry, my brother and I aren't murderers; we're just looking for the culprit."
"Okay...okay, actually I was forced into this by Feng Youtian, I didn't want to make things difficult for you..."
Liu Ergou swallowed hard.
After a while.
Feng Youtian strode into Liu Ergou's yard.
With a look of delight mixed with a hint of suspicion on his face, he shouted:
"Liu Ergou, where are you? If you make me come all this way for nothing, you're finished."
He knew Liu Ergou well; he would never dare to lie to him.
If he could really break through to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm, then he would be on the same level as Wang Tieming!
"Brother Yutian, come in quickly! This is a Qi and Blood Treasure Ginseng! Help me hold it down!"
"Qi and Blood Nourishing Ginseng!? It's here!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Youtian's face lit up with joy, his eyes gleaming with intense desire, and he strode toward the house.
But just as his palm touched the wooden door, he felt something was wrong.
Why is the wooden door broken?
The moment the door opened, a figure that had been hiding in the shadows burst forth with power.
It crashed out!
boom--
Feng Youtian's eyes widened in horror.
He felt a fierce and malevolent aura rushing towards him, followed by a surge of violent force entering his body. His body was as if it had been struck head-on by a giant beast, and he was violently sent flying.
Shen Kun's eyes flashed with malice, and his right hand swiftly reached for the broken dagger at his waist as he charged forward.
They kept thrusting rapidly towards Feng Youtian's vital chest!
puff!puff!puff!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Feng Youtian struggled to lift his head, and after seeing clearly who had attacked him, his face showed both shock and anger.
"Shen Kun!! You..."
puff!
Shen Kun didn't give him a moment to finish his sentence.
next moment.
The broken thorn had pierced through his mouth and emerged from his skull!
