Chapter 108: Opening a Path with Fists

Have reinforcements really appeared?

Hearing this incredible news, the old man and the head priest looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Afterwards, they rushed to the fortifications without hesitation and saw the "reinforcements" who had appeared from the northern forest:

That was a human male with a very young appearance, who seemed to only have the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But the strength that person displayed far exceeded what an ordinary Foundation Establishment practitioner could exert.

The young man had no weapons; relying solely on a pair of fists, he slaughtered his way into the tide-like Beast Tide.

Every time he threw a punch, it carried an invisible fist wind, tearing the vicious beasts that dared to pounce on him into countless fragments.

As for those Spirit Monsters blocking his path that were capable of rivaling the Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment realms, they were just as fragile as the most ordinary vicious beasts!

With just a pair of fists, Feng Zi tore all the opponents in front of him to shreds.

And the flesh, blood, and Origin of Qi and Blood of those vicious beasts would seep into his skin, turning into a part of his strength.

Killing his way forward, Feng Zi's strength not only suffered no depletion, but instead became increasingly Full, and even steadily improved!

Feng Zi certainly understood that the various changes happening to him were not normal; let alone a Martial Artist, even an ordinary cultivator would find it difficult to achieve this.

But this change was positive after all, so he temporarily set aside these doubts—

In this situation, the most important thing was to carve out a bloody path and save as many others as possible; other matters could be pondered slowly later.

Facing the vicious beasts surging like a tide, Feng Zi's speed did not slow down in the slightest, actually leaving a thick mist of blood on the path he had traveled!

Finally, a Demon could no longer restrain itself and struck out in anger, intending to kill Feng Zi.

Yet he acted as if he were unaware, merely throwing one punch after another mechanically, clearing away all the obstacles in front of him...

How vast was the scale of the Beast Tide; how could Feng Zi possibly let himself fall into such an unfavorable situation?

In that Demon's perception, Feng Zi's strength was merely that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment, and it did not even take him to heart.

But after only three punches, it was beaten to a half-crippled state by Feng Zi and kicked aside like a dead dog.

That was a severely injured Demon—

In an instant, the surrounding Spirit Monsters and Demons could not suppress their instincts, and for a moment, they actually forgot about Feng Zi, stepping forward to tear the severely weakened Demon to pieces!

As for that Nascent Soul Great Demon capable of stopping Feng Zi, it was currently just suspended in mid-air, lost in thought:

If it were before, facing a human who ruined its good deeds and possessed such strength, it would not have had any hesitation and would have completely devoured them on the spot.

But inexplicably, the Nascent Soul Great Demon suddenly remembered its encounter during the day and recalled that terrifying mighty figure.

A thought suddenly popped into the opponent's mind: "Could it be that this human is a warning from that mighty figure?"

Such a thought was not baseless; after all, it had provoked that mighty figure so much, yet the opponent had retreated just like that, which was truly hard to understand:

The Great Demon asked itself, if an existence with strength far inferior to its own were so ostentatious, it would definitely crush that ant to death!

This was not only about its face, but also about its majesty and status.

After some thought, that Nascent Soul Great Demon had concluded that the reason the human was alone must have been under the instruction of that cyan-colored mighty figure.

Since that was the case, it also had an idea in its mind:

As long as that human did not "intercept" half, or even all, of the human tribes, then it was under the instruction of that mighty figure, and it would let him leave.

After all... it had offended the mighty figure first; the Nascent Soul Great Demon was willing to accept this secret loss and simply defaulted to this scene happening for the time being.

And the content of what the Great Demon was thinking was the sliver of possibility that Feng Zi was gambling on:

From the very beginning, Feng Zi clearly understood the boundaries of his own abilities and had never harbored the delusion of saving everyone—

Being able to save the essence of the tribe, such as the youth and children, was already the best result he could achieve at present.

Of course, if that Nascent Soul Great Demon had not thought this way and had instead wiped Feng Zi out in one move, he would not have cared either.

After all, this was only an Incarnation; if it died, it died, and Feng Zi would not suffer any loss.

Since that was the case, why not gamble on this?

Feng Zi understood that once Spirit Monsters gained intelligence and condensed a Demon Core within their bodies, they possessed considerable wisdom.

And this strategy was meant to deceive smart people!

The tribe's fortifications were getting closer, and the surrounding vicious beasts were subconsciously retreating out of fear, not daring to come forward to "throw their lives away" anymore.

With the situation developing to this point, Feng Zi understood that he had bet correctly.

Watching the reinforcements descend like gods, moving through the terrifying Beast Tide as if there were no one there, the tribe's youths were all boiling with excitement!

Seeing this, the chieftain felt as if he had become much younger, and he shouted excitedly:

"Everyone, shoot the vicious beasts together and tear open a path for the reinforcements!"

Encouraged by the ritual song, the people of the tribe had already reignited their fighting spirit—

The reason the chieftain held a god-worshipping ceremony at night was, of course, not fundamentally for the purpose of divination.

As Qi Refiners, whether it was the chieftain or the head priest, they all understood that the so-called "God of the Nine Rivers" was merely an innate divine being.

Their purpose was, after all, only to boost morale:

The so-called ritual song was also a war song sung for hunting!

And inspired by that reinforcement, the people at this moment felt spirited and wished they could rush out and slaughter all those vicious beasts!

Some people even came to the entrance, wanting to welcome him inside.

Looking at the gate right in front of him, Feng Zi shouted: "Do not open the gate, I have my own way!"

Having said that, he leaped up from the Beast Tide and climbed onto the fortifications with nimble steps, crossing this fortification that was several zhang high in one go.

Seeing the reinforcements enter the tribe smoothly, the youths on the fortifications all let out enthusiastic cheers.

Afterwards, they continued to draw their bows and arrows to deal with the Beast Tide that was slowly surrounding them again.

Feng Zi did not forget his main task; he just took a few deep breaths, adjusted his breath slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Who is the person in charge here?"

Of course, without Feng Zi having to call out, those three Qi Refiners with Foundation Establishment strength had already come before him.

Before he could speak, the leading old man spoke first:

"I am but an old man who serves as the chieftain of this place; may I ask if you encountered our messenger seeking aid, and thus came to assist?"

A messenger? Feng Zi was stunned upon hearing this.

Immediately, he shook his head and replied simply: "I am a traveler who crossed the Yanglu Gulin, and having chanced upon this scene, I came to offer a meager bit of help."

Crossed the Yanglu Gulin?!

Hearing this description, those three Foundation Establishment Qi Refiners could not help but be stunned, subconsciously glancing at one another, as a thought involuntarily emerged in their hearts:

This is a ruthless person!
