Chapter 238: Ye Xiu is the Supreme Killing God

After leaving the city, stick to the main roads as much as possible; remote areas definitely have strange phenomena, so be careful.

Understood.

After Ye Xiu passed the siege works personnel, he resolutely stepped into the darkness.

Lin Meng slowly appeared at the street corner; her speed was much greater than Ye Xiu's, and she caught up with him before he left the city.

Seeing Ye Xiu exit the south district gate, Lin Meng also secretly followed.

The personnel guarding the gate tower gave Lin Meng the same line, then let her through.

This was Lin Meng's first time seeing the so-called siegeworks, towering into the clouds and appearing impregnable.

In this strange world, human cities all have such walls; outside the city lie the suburbs, where strange phenomena surge and danger lurks everywhere.

What is Ye Xiu specifically doing by leaving the city under the cover of darkness?

The temperature seemed to have dropped even further, bitterly cold; Ye Xiu wore the cold‑resistant clothing Lin Meng bought for him and took side paths instead of the main road.

Lin Meng frowned as she followed, muttering, 'Has this brat gone mad? The main road has night‑watch posts at regular intervals, constantly guarded and patrolled, making it very safe.'

But once you leave the main road, the suburbs are vast; if real danger arises, no night‑watch guard can arrive in time.

That is why the gate‑guarding personnel repeatedly stressed taking the main road.

Lin Meng did not chase after him to stop Ye Xiu; she wanted to see what this guy was up to, running around at midnight without sleeping.

After winding around for nearly forty minutes, Ye Xiu finally stopped beside an abandoned gas station.

Surprisingly, the journey had been safe—he hadn't encountered a single strange phenomenon.

It was as if someone had deliberately scouted this route in advance.

The next second, five or six figures darted out from the gas station, each looking very tall.

Ye Xiu was also tall, but having just begun his cultivation, he still appeared inexperienced and immature compared to that burly group.

Did you bring the money, little buddy?

Those people did not step into the moonlight; they stayed in the shadows, their faces unseen.

One of them, who seemed to be the leader, got straight to the point, his tone tinged with mockery, calling Ye Xiu 'little buddy'.

Ye Xiu eyed them warily and pulled an alliance card from his pocket.

Where is what I want?

As soon as Ye Xiu finished speaking, two deep beastly eyes appeared in the darkness, glowing with strange light.

But soon its cry gave everything away.

A mournful, trembling cry, like a hoarse cat's meow, contrasted sharply with the robust silhouette in the darkness.

Lin Meng instantly understood: Ye Xiu had found someone to buy a leopard from, and tonight was the transaction.

Being able to arrange the trade here shows the seller avoids the light—perhaps they come from the black market.

Lin Meng hid in the shadows; with her sixth‑layer Qi Refining cultivation, no one could sense her presence.

Ye Xiu gripped the card tightly; it represented the 200,000 alliance credits he got from selling two Qi‑Blood Pills, plus the 80,000 remaining from the gold bracelet his sister gave him—this was all his wealth.

At that moment, the six opponents finally stepped into the moonlight.

Each held one side of an iron cage, their gazes cold and sinister as they stared at Ye Xiu, like they were looking at prey.

'Hand over the money, hand over the goods—throw the card over, and we'll leave right away.'

The leader's eyes clearly held ill intent; Lin Meng guessed his intention at a glance.

Six men and a beast facing a seemingly wet‑behind‑the‑ears kid—how could they really trade money for goods?

Moreover, they chose this deserted spot for the trade; the outcome was easy to predict.

Ye Xiu also realized this, and a similarly chilling gleam flashed in his eyes.

Everyone was pressuring him—Cui Cheng's gang of beasts wanted to pressure him, and these people, despite lacking integrity, also wanted to pressure him.

All he wanted was to live well with his sister—why is this so hard?!

Perfect, his heavenly‑gifted divine ability hasn't been tried yet.

These past few days, after taking the Opening Aperture Pill his sister gave him, he felt his physique had grown much stronger.

Besides, his martial technique isn't weak; the six men before him are mere thugs, none possessing supernatural power.

Ye Xiu's eyes swept like a leopard's over each of their necks; one hand had already slipped to his waist and drawn a short blade.

Let him see—who should he start with?

Lin Meng noticed Ye Xiu's movement, raising her eyebrows without a sound.

Quite the fellow—turns out he's not a pushover but a decisive, lethal kid.

It seems the earlier tragedy at the opera house was caused by Cui Cheng using underhanded means to make Ye Xiu suffer.

Lin Meng had no intention of stepping in to help; she had sensed that those burly men, though strong‑looking, had no energy fluctuations—they were just ordinary people.

Ye Xiu is an awakened S‑rank talent; if he couldn't even handle these guys, that would truly be disappointing.

Before his wings grow strong, he always has to shed some blood and break a few bones.

"You brat, what little trick are you up to?"

Suddenly, one of the thugs saw Ye Xiu's hand movement and shouted sharply.

Ye Xiu's eyes hardened; he reacted instantly, gripping the broken blade in reverse and charging at that man without a word.

His speed was not slow, and the opponent never expected Ye Xiu to strike first, so he had no time to react.

With a spray of blood, one man instantly collapsed into a pool of blood.

Lin Meng widened her eyes, her breathing quickening.

Mom, what a clean technique, what a cold‑hearted youth—is this still the shy boy who calls her sister in front of her, whose ears occasionally turn red, the obedient big boy?

Lin Meng couldn't help swallowing; far from being frightened by the bloody scene, she gave Ye Xiu a thumbs‑up.

Having died once already, he ought to be this decisive in killing!

Ye Xiu resolutely finished one, holding the knife still dripping with blood, and coldly glanced at the remaining five.

His aura, together with his earlier ferocity, intimidated the opponents for a moment.

Seizing the gap, Ye Xiu stretched out a hand toward the person who had collapsed dead, spreading his five fingers.

The next second, Lin Meng felt a flicker of power detach from that person and transfer to Ye Xiu.

She widened her eyes in shock—could this be the special talent divine ability Ye Xiu mentioned, absorbing others' power for his own use?

It seems only the power of the dead can be seized; this talent divine ability is truly terrifying.

The next second, Ye Xiu seemed to have indeed grown stronger, and without another word he moved to attack again.

The opponents finally reacted, and were instantly shocked and pale.

"Damn, I thought he was just a little brat, but he's a tough nut—brothers, get him!"

The melee began, Lin Meng grew tense, ready to rush over and support at any moment.

Five against one is still somewhat unfair; they all wield lethal weapons—if they really hurt Ye Xiu, it would be troublesome.

Who would have thought Lin Meng's worries were completely unnecessary—Ye Xiu was even more ruthless and merciless than she imagined, every move lethal.

After just a few tricky maneuvers, three more of the five fell, each killed by a single blow, without even a chance to cry out.

Ye Xiu repeated his old trick, sucking away their energy.

Only two remained; seeing how formidable Ye Xiu was, one of them finally couldn't help but wet his pants.

"Damn, you're actually an awakened one, kid—do you know what the consequences of killing us are? Aren't you afraid our backers will come after you?"

Ye Xiu gave a cold smile, revealing a wickedness unbecoming of a youth.

"If I kill you all, won't there be no one left to testify against me?"
