Chapter 106: The Infiltration of the Awakened
Accompanied by a beastly roar, Saino dropped to all fours, charging at Ye Tian like a rabid, humanoid hound.
Howl!
The deafening cry of a wolf echoed through the surroundings as Saino’s jaws opened at an unnatural angle.
Then, they snapped shut!
“This is a monster!” Zhou Xiaoxiao was startled by the scene, unable to help but close her eyes and scream in terror.
The white man before her, both in his movements and appearance, had become wholly removed from humanity, looking every bit like a deranged wild beast.
Death!
Scarlet eyes locked onto Ye Tian’s throat, and Saino, with his gaping maw, was about to bite down.
Bang!
In an instant, a dull thud rang out. Saino flew backward like a bullet, crashing into a marble pillar of the castle, smashing it to pieces—a pillar nearly a meter in diameter.
“Quite resilient,” Ye Tian brushed dust from his clothes, speaking offhandedly.
If it had been an ordinary martial artist of the Beidou realm, a kick of that force would have snapped them in two on the spot.
For someone weaker, they might have exploded into a mist of blood.
Yet this young wolf, only at the initial stage of the Beidou realm, managed to withstand Ye Tian’s kick and survive.
It was nothing short of astonishing.
“Not bad, I’m quite satisfied!” Amidst the billowing dust, Saino coughed and stood up, returning to everyone’s view.
But this time, he did not act recklessly.
He was deeply shocked.
The young man before him was unimaginably powerful!
That kick had pushed him to the brink of death—his life hanging by a thread.
If not for his unique physique, he might truly have been killed.
Yet the strange phenomenon Saino displayed now stunned the bystanders even more.
His naked back was riddled with countless marble shards, a terrifying sight dripping with blood.
But as steam rose, Saino’s muscles forcibly expelled the marble fragments, dropping them to the ground!
Then, his body rapidly healed; within moments, his skin was smooth and unblemished, as though he had never been wounded.
Was this even human?
Could a human being do such a thing?
At this moment, the Zhou sisters began to question their worldview.
If humans could recover like this, what need was there for doctors?
“You are strong.”
As his wounds recovered, Saino’s voice regained its vigor, and his words rang out firmly:
“You are the only young powerhouse in Dragon Country whom I acknowledge—even the so-called General of the North cannot compare to you!”
Only now did he begin to take Ye Tian seriously.
Previously, he had regarded Ye Tian as prey, but now, Ye Tian was his true adversary.
Heh.
Ye Tian smiled with indifference upon hearing this.
“You think that with your level, a few words of praise will please me?”
“No.”
“To be considered your opponent is no glory for me.”
“You’re courting death!” Saino was utterly enraged. He hadn’t expected that the enemy he treated with respect would not even grant him a glance.
“Remarkable healing, undying body?”
Watching Saino’s frantic state, Ye Tian began to ponder.
He remembered clearly that his kick should have left Saino half dead, barely clinging to life.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Saino was lively again!
Intriguing!
Ye Tian suddenly wondered: if he wielded the blade that counters immortality, the Child-Slaying Yasutsuna, who would prevail?
Thinking this, he waved his hand.
A magnificent, ancient katana slid from his sleeve.
Clang!
The cold, desolate gleam of the blade flashed, reflecting in Saino’s eyes.
!!!
Saino’s hair stood on end, and he instinctively stepped back.
For some reason, upon seeing this blade, he felt an overwhelming urge to flee.
His instincts screamed: if he did not escape now, he would surely die!
“What did you do?!”
Saino’s crimson eyes stared at the long blade in Ye Tian’s hand, filled with uncertainty.
“Aren’t you so tough? When I chop you up, don’t run away!” Ye Tian grinned, delighted.
He hadn’t expected the Child-Slaying Yasutsuna to truly restrain the immortal body—merely drawing it frightened his opponent half to death.
What did this mean?
It meant he had found a genuine treasure!
“You... what are you doing!” Watching Ye Tian advance, katana in hand, Saino’s sense of crisis intensified, alarms ringing in his mind.
It was as if he had encountered a natural nemesis!
This instinctive reaction rendered him unable to suppress his fear any longer; without another word, he turned and fled with all his might.
“Role reversal, huh.”
Ye Tian mocked, flashing forward to catch up to the fleeing werewolf, then slammed a palm down.
Saino was pinned heavily to the ground, struggling and roaring.
“What did you do to me, to make me so terrified?” Saino struggled, asking unwillingly.
“You don’t need to know.” Without hesitation, Ye Tian thrust the katana downward!
Shnk!
The tip of the blade pierced Saino’s spine, running through his torso and emerging from the earth beneath him.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
In his wolf-like form, Saino let out a wailing scream, as white smoke billowed from the wound where the blade passed through.
A strong, burnt stench filled the air!
As time passed, the smoke thickened, eventually obscuring both of them.
A breeze swept through, and the haze dispersed.
Ye Tian stood expressionless as before, while the werewolf he had pinned down was now nothing more than a heap of mangled flesh.
There was no trace of humanity left.
Hiss...
Watching this horrifying scene, Zhou Manyun felt her scalp tingle.
She could not imagine how many such monsters existed in Dragon Country!
Where were they lurking?
“No need to be afraid.” Sensing the sisters’ emotions, Ye Tian turned, smiling to reassure them.
“With me here, all these invading foreigners or monsters will be wiped out!”
“Mm, I believe you.” Zhou Manyun blushed, wholeheartedly accepting Ye Tian’s words.
In all of Dragon Country, who else could face these monsters? Aside from Ye Tian, Zhou Manyun believed in no one.
This man always gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
Wherever he was, everything was under control.
“That’s all well and good.”
After comforting the Zhou sisters, Ye Tian’s mind began to ponder.
Foreign supernatural beings were vastly different from the mystical cultivators of Dragon Country!
The mere undying ability was already bizarre.
This time, he happened to have the Child-Slaying Yasutsuna, which restrained immortality; otherwise, dealing with Saino would have been far more troublesome.
But in the future, if he encountered more foreign supernatural beings with strange abilities, how should he respond?
It was a serious question.
Thinking this, Ye Tian resolved that upon returning, he must pay a proper visit to Tang, the Guardian of the Nation.
