NOVEL WEB Chapter 146 - They All Deserve to Die
There are many snake-people tribes that live in the desert, and one of those tribes is the Mo Snake Tribe.
The members of this tribe had bodies as dark as charcoal, hence the name Mo Snake.
The temperament of the Mo Snake Tribe was the most violent, and their hatred towards humans was the highest among all the snake-people tribes. As long as a human appeared in the view of the Mo Snake Tribe, their fate was mostly dire.
In short, the Mo Snake Tribe showed no mercy to humans.
Right now, a group of Mo Snake Tribe members sat around a bonfire, eating food similar to porridge, resembling the fury of a storm as they discussed.
“It’s despicable! What is the Queen thinking? Allowing that woman to enter the sacred land of the snake-people?!”
“What’s the name of that woman? Xiao Li?”
“Seems like that’s the name, saying something about wanting humans and the snake-people to live in peace. It’s ridiculous!!!”
“Humans are a group of cruel deceivers! They all deserve to die!”
“Exactly! Live in peace? We, the Mo Snake Tribe, will never agree!!!”
“They’ve harmed us for hundreds of years, and now they want reconciliation? Daydreaming!”
The group of Mo Snake Tribe members vented their resentment towards humans, making it clear in both words and attitudes how much they despised them.
“Wait for it, tomorrow, our Tribe Leader will go to the sacred land and advise the Queen to execute that human woman!”
“I heard that woman is the leader of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. As long as she dies, there’s no way humans and the snake-people can live in peace!”
“Really? Then let’s hope the Tribe Leader’s advice tomorrow can be successful. Living in peace with humans is nauseating just to think about!”
While these Mo Snake Tribe members were engrossed in their conversation, none of them noticed that in the distance of Yakachi, behind a sand dune, a group of humans wrapped in white robes was lurking.
The strength of the lowest among these humans was at least a three-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)! The leader was even a five-star Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)!
Wiping out this tribe would be more than easy!
“Beasts, truly beasts.”
Hearing the boisterous talk of the Mo Snake Tribe, the leading man sneered coldly, turning his head to look at his subordinates.
“Do you all remember my instructions?” The leader squinted his eyes, sternly instructing, “When we start, make it clear that we are from the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. Kill as many as you can in five minutes, then immediately withdraw after five minutes!”
“Yes!”
The white-robed individuals responded fiercely. The leader then raised his hand slowly, casting a malevolent gaze at the unsuspecting Mo Snake Tribe members.
Raising his hand high, he held it there.
When those Mo Snake Tribe members were engrossed in their talk and at their most excited and least vigilant moment, he suddenly waved his hand.
“Attack!”
Several dark figures swiftly rushed into the Yakachi tribe. Before the Mo Snake Tribe members could react, several of them had already been slain by the white-robed individuals.
“Who dares to attack our Mo Snake Tribe?!”
An Mo Snake Tribe member glared angrily at the unexpected guests. One of the white-robed individuals raised a long sword and shouted indignantly.
“We are the Desert Metal Mercenary Company! Where is our Captain Xiao Li?!”
“Xiao Li?! You are the ones from—”
“Die!”
Before the Mo Snake Tribe member could finish his sentence, the white-robed individual immediately beheaded him with a sword.
Similar scenes played out in other parts of the Yakachi tribe.
Whether it was the old, young, women, or strong men, anyone seen by the white-robed individuals was mercilessly slaughtered!
Yakachi, the small and marginalized tribe of the Mo Snake Tribe, where the strongest member was only a six-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). How could they resist a group of assassins with the lowest strength being three-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)s?
In less than three minutes, the once lively Yakachi tribe, enjoying their dinner, had turned into a hell on earth!
The sounds of screams and wails filled the air, every second witnessing lives being extinguished forever.
“Brothers! Fight them!!”
However, the Mo Snake Tribe, known for their fierceness, lived up to their reputation. Even though they knew their strength was far inferior to the white-robed individuals, they still did not bow down. The deaths of their fellow tribesmen ignited their anger, and they called for resistance.
“Hehe, even pretending to be dead isn’t in your repertoire. Calling you beasts is giving you too much credit.”
The courageous resistance of the Mo Snake Tribe did not earn the leader of the white-robed individuals any admiration. His eyes showed even more contempt.
The slaughter in his hands accelerated.
‘Time’s almost up; let’s prepare to retreat.’
Calculating the time, the leader was about to signal his subordinates to withdraw when suddenly he felt a powerful wind coming from a distance. It startled him, and he swung his sword violently to intercept the black object hurtling towards him.
Although he successfully blocked this sudden attack, the leader also paid a price.
Feeling his hand trembling continuously, the leader’s white robe was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
His hand was severed…
Looking at the black object that he had knocked down and stuck into the ground, the leader furrowed his brow.
It was a black… giant sword?
But it lacked a sharp edge; rather than a sword, it looked more like a blunt weapon.
“Who the hell is it?!”
The leader kept questioning in his mind, and his heart started to beat rapidly. He had confirmed several times before coming that the highest level in this Yakachi tribe was just a six-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). How could someone possess the strength to shatter his arm with this strange weapon? And his arm wasn’t directly hit but shattered when blocking the attack!
Someone capable of such a feat must be at a level higher than his own, at least beyond his status as a five-star Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)!
As the leader trembled with fear, a dark figure flashed by, appearing beside the peculiar giant sword. With a single hand, the figure grasped the sword’s hilt, and crimson eyes flickered with a deadly intent!
The intruder was none other than Xiao Yan!!!
Listening to the constant screams around him and witnessing the Yakachi tribe turned into a hellish scene, Xiao Yan’s heart gradually sank.
‘I’m… too late…’
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, and the dark aura deep within him began to emerge. His muscles tensed, and veins bulged beneath his clothes!
‘Just a little more… Just a little more!!!’
It was so close! He could have prevented this tragedy if he had arrived a bit earlier!
‘Why couldn’t I?! Why couldn’t I be a bit earlier?!!’
Xiao Yan roared in anger within his mind. He clenched the giant sword, walking slowly towards the leader.
‘Almost there… just a little bit more…’
The leader could sense an aura emanating from Xiao Yan that seemed to materialize the fear of death. Yet, at this moment, Xiao Yan paid no attention to how terrified the leader was.
His heart was filled with self-blame.
‘Damn it… damn it all!!!’
‘Whether it was them or me!!!’
A tangible crimson killing intent enveloped the entire Yakachi tribe. Both the white-robed group in the midst of slaughter and the Mo Snake Tribe fiercely resisting turned their frightened gazes toward Xiao Yan, who was approaching the leader.
The red light in Xiao Yan’s eyes grew stronger, and an invisible black aura tightly shrouded him!
‘Damn it all!!!’
