Chapter 101: Razing the Withered, Pulling Down the Rotten

Five pitch‑black silhouettes, like demons leapt from hell, bearing ice‑cold, bone‑piercing murderous intent and a fierce, unmatched onslaught, instantly sealed every sliver of space Ye Wuque could have used to dodge!

The five moved with flawless coordination, clearly trained assassins, each strike a deathblow, striving for a hit that cannot miss!

Yet faced with this sudden assault, Ye Wuque didn't even lift an eyelid, still standing with his hands at his sides, his expression so calm it seemed the oncoming foe was not the death‑bringing Yama but a few buzzing flies.

Not because he was idle, but because before he could act, Xiao Jie beside him had already moved!

"Hmph! Dare ambush Brother Ye! Looking for death!!"

At the instant the attack was about to land, a youthful shout full of excitement and wildness rang out with a sudden crack!

The clear eyes of Xiao Jie, standing beside Ye Wuque, instantly turned as ferocious and untamed as a Honghuang beast!

The terrifying qi‑blood within him, vast as a sea of stars, erupted with a roar, and countless draconic serpents seemed to slither beneath his skin!

He used no fancy divine techniques, just simply—moved!

Boom!!

The massive meteor beneath his feet collapsed and shattered downward!

His body became a humanoid bolt of lightning, or rather a primordial savage dragon breaking free of its shackles, charging in the purest, most brutal, most ferocious manner straight into the five black shadows!

Speed to the extreme!

Power to the Absolute Peak!

The first black‑robed, masked assailant, whose poisoned short blade had not yet brushed Ye Wuque's robe, felt as if struck by a rapidly approaching primordial star!

"Bang!!"

A sharp, muffled thud!

The black‑robed man didn't even have time to scream; he exploded mid‑air into a cloud of Blood Mist, and his weapon turned into a spray of iron shavings!

Xiao Jie's figure paused not a moment, sliced straight through that Blood Mist and, with a reverse punch, smashed to the left!

"You…"

The second black‑robed man's pupils contracted wildly as he frantically summoned a pitch‑black bone shield in front of him; the shield exuded a chilling ghostly aura, clearly a high‑grade defensive artifact!

Snap... Boom!!

Xiao Jie's fist, wrapped in suffocating flesh‑born brute force, shattered the bone shield, then, without losing momentum, smashed the terrified black‑robed man behind it together with the hastily formed palm seal, blasting them to pieces!

In the blink of an eye, two companions fell gruesomely, the remaining three black‑robed, masked foes' souls flickered, trying to retreat, but it was already too late!

Xiao Jie's fighting style was wildly extreme, with no form at all, relying solely on his terrifying, invincible flesh to barrel forward!

He leapt forward; even the Void seemed to cave beneath his step, and his silhouette appeared instantly before the third black‑robed man, where, in the terrified gaze, he drove a crushing head‑butt straight into him!

Thud!!

The black‑robed man's head burst open like an overripe watermelon, spraying red and white matter everywhere!

Seeing this, the fourth black‑robed man let out a strange cry, his body instantly turned into a cloud of black fog trying to slip into the Void.

"Damned dog! Where are you running to!"

Xiao Jie shouted, spread his five fingers, plunged them into the black fog, and ripped it apart with a fierce grab!

"Screech!!"

As if a torn piece of cloth screamed, the black fog was torn apart by his brute force; the hidden black‑robed man let out a mournful wail as his body was ripped in two by the raging power!

The last black‑robed man, seeing no escape, flashed a flash of manic resolve in his eyes; his aura instantly became wildly unstable, and he tried to charge forward to self‑detonate, aiming for mutual destruction!

"Hmph!"

Xiao Jie snorted coldly, moved even faster, arriving first with a simple, direct side kick that carried the terrifying force of a shattered Star River, striking precisely at the assailant's dantian qi‑sea!

"Puff!!"

The black‑robed man's swollen aura burst like a punctured balloon, sending his body flying like a kite with its string cut, blood spraying from his mouth, countless bones snapping, and his corpse crashing onto a distant floating meteor, utterly losing all combat ability.

From the five‑person sudden ambush to Xiao Jie's ruthless eradication, the whole episode unfolded within just two or three breaths!

Fast! Fierce! Precise! Wild! Violent!

Xiao Jie clapped his hands as if finishing a trivial task, his face returning to that harmless, slightly excited smile, and he hopped back to Ye Wuque's side: "Brother Ye, done! A few hide‑and‑seek pests, really no trouble at all!"

Yet this area, already noisy from the impending temporal‑spatial rift, now fell into a bizarre dead silence!

All beings who had witnessed the brief yet spectacular battle froze their actions, their gazes collectively zeroed in on the seemingly youthful boy and the ever‑calm black‑robed youth beside him.

Gasps of cold breath rose in waves, and countless Divine Sense tangled wildly in the dark.

"Sss… that wave just now… terrifying! Pure flesh power can be so overwhelming?"

"Those five ambushers, judging by their concealment and strike, were at least peak‑level Immortal‑ladder beings! How could that boy crush them as easily as swatting flies??"

"What on earth is this boy's background? Flesh so defiant of destiny! Combat power simply shocking! Why have we never heard of him among the young top‑tier Heavenly Pride of Boundless Heaven?"

"Could he be a secret disciple cultivated by an ancient hidden Dao lineage? Or a Honghuang bloodline relic transformed?"

"And that black‑robed youth beside him, never moving at all—was he stunned? Or… simply disdainful of acting?"

Various guesses, shock, and awe spread through the crowd.

Xiao Jie's terrifying strength instantly quelled many would‑be troublemakers present.

Yet, in the brief silence born of shock, a voice that sounded both extremely surprised and oddly elevated in pitch suddenly rang from a corner, like a stone tossed into a calm lake, shattering the hush and clearly reaching every creature's ears:

"W‑wait! That black‑robed youth… I… I recognize him!"

"Isn't he the one who, not long ago in the central realm's ancient secret realm, crushed all rivals, seized the greatest opportunity, and even… even personally beheaded the Jun family's Sequencer Jun Mo Shen and the Ye Clan's Sequencer Ye Xingchen—the unparalleled powerhouse Ye Wuque?!!"
