Chapter 56: Fury Reaching the Heavens

  Indignant anger soaring into the sky

  Zhou Yuan traveled south, although he couldn't reach the level of Bing Jiutian. With a shock to his primordial energy, he could travel thousands of miles in a day at a speed that was almost unimaginable. As someone who had cultivated the Divine Path, he was considered a strong practitioner. His physical functions had been nourished by the primordial energy, reaching an unbelievable level. When walking at full strength, his speed was as swift as the wind.

  Before going to Nan Huang, Zhou Yuan returned to Tianyuan City again. It has to be said that the Daqian Empire is still quite good. The destruction of Tianyuan City had already been learned about through various channels by the empire, and soon, the imperial side also took action, dispatching master craftsmen to Tianyuan City to begin reconstruction.

  When Zhou Yuan left, Tianyuan City had already taken shape. The high walls on all four sides were completed, and a large number of workers and craftsmen were coming in and out, making it very lively. Moreover, many civilians from various places had also moved here to rebuild their homes.

  Perhaps these later generations have already forgotten that the original master of Tianyuan City was the Zhou family, and no one knows the reason for its destruction back then. But all of this is no longer important to Zhou Yuan.

  Seeing the bustling scene of Tianyuan City, Zhou Yuan's heart was also delighted. After all, this was his hometown, and even if it was destroyed, Zhou Yuan felt that his roots were still here. This place had an indescribable emotion for him.

  After passing through Tianyuan City, Zhou Yuan also fulfilled a wish. He gathered his emotions and continued on his journey.

  The three-day journey had passed, and on this day, Zhou Yuan walked to a desolate place outside. Here, high mountains surrounded him, and everywhere were lush ancient trees. As Zhou Yuan arrived here, he also felt that the scenery of this place was very beautiful. It was early morning, and there were still dew drops in the air. Taking a breath made one feel very refreshed.

  Not far away, there is a very large village.

  "Huh? Something's off!" Zhou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed deeply, that village, he felt an unusual place, as if a very faint cry for help was transmitted over.

  Zhou Yuan took a deep sniff and immediately caught a faint scent of blood.

  "Sure enough, something's off. There's a bloody smell, and it looks like there was just a massacre!" Zhou Yuan's feet moved swiftly as he rushed towards the village. Before long, he arrived at the outskirts of the village. For safety's sake, Zhou Yuan didn't immediately reveal himself, instead slowly sneaking into the village.

  Slowly, Zhou Yuan took in everything in the village. As he saw the scene before him, his blood surged and his anger burst forth.

  On the ground in the village, basically every four or five steps, there was a corpse lying horizontally, and many men dressed in a dashing manner were patrolling slowly.

  Zhou Yuan could feel a strong aura of evil emanating from these people, and it was clear that they were not ordinary villagers, but rather ruthless bandits.

  Zhou Yuan did not act rashly. The village was very large, and Zhou Yuan had not fully grasped the current situation. If he acted impulsively, there might be danger.

  After all, how many of these robbers were there and what was their strength? Zhou Yuan knew nothing about this. If there were strong people in the Golden Elixir realm inside, then Zhou Yuan would be in danger. With his current cultivation base at the Refining Stage, he had no opponents within the same stage, but if he encountered a strong person in the Golden Elixir realm, Zhou Yuan would indeed be in danger.

  Even if Zhou Yuan cultivates the Thunder Element, with his innate talent, he can at most escape, but if the opponent is a master who has been immersed in the Golden Elixir Realm for many years, Zhou Yuan may not even be able to escape.

  At that time, Zhou Yuan's suppression of the bandits was unsuccessful, and instead he himself fell into an irretrievable situation, which was really not worth it.

  Although Zhou Yuan was only eighteen years old, he had experienced too many things and his mind had matured early, and he was very wise. He liked to plan carefully before acting on many things.

  Zhou Yuan reined in his breath and continued to sneak into the village from another direction. Due to fear of being discovered, Zhou Yuan walked very slowly, and it took him a stick of incense time to reach the center of the village. However, at the next moment, he felt his blood surging up, and his anger was about to overwhelm himself.

  In the center of the village, a square table was brought out and lined up in a row. Many women were stripped naked and pressed onto the table by a group of robbers with ferocious faces. Their hands rubbed violently on these weak women's bodies.

  They had already stripped the civilians of their clothes, and these civilian women were being subjected to inhumane treatment after being stripped naked. These poor civilian women were powerless, with no way to fight back, and were being brutally violated. They wanted to resist, but there was no way, after all, they were facing ruthless bandits who would stop at nothing.

  These bandits are the worst, and their cultivation is at the level of the viscera boundary, with extremely great strength, which is not something that these weak women civilians can resist.

  Their husbands and children were brutally killed, they couldn't avenge, but were ruthlessly trampled by these beasts.

  At this moment, they were desperate and wanted to die, but their mouths were stuffed with a ball of cloth, making it impossible for them to even bite their tongues in an attempt to end their lives. All they could do was make faint, unclear cries for help.

  At this moment, they truly felt what it meant to be unable to live or die. Not far from them, a bald man was smiling happily, with a look of complacency on his face.

  This man is the leader of these bandits. Just now, after a month of planning, they finally succeeded in occupying this Black Stone Village and then plundered it, killing all the men here, including the elderly and children, except for some young women with good looks, everything else was killed.

  It's like this in their line of work, three years without a windfall, and when they do get one, they can live off it for three years. After grabbing this opportunity, they'll probably be able to live comfortably for a while.

  Seeing these brothers being happy, the leader also felt very pleased. These women, who could only be considered somewhat pretty, and a few were even more beautiful, were all kept by him for himself. After returning to their lair, they would have a great time.

  Look, time is running out too. The leader stood up and said, "Brothers, have you all had enough fun? Let's go back, we've made a fortune this time, and our Tiger Gang can live a good life for a while longer. Let's go back and rest, and give those unfortunate brothers a proper burial. They are all heroes."

  At this moment, the robbers who had committed the crime also finished their deed. They let out bursts of nauseating laughter and then roughly pushed away the women they had bullied, hastily putting on their clothes to prepare for their return to their lair.

  Zhou Yuan could no longer hold back, and suddenly jumped out.

  "How dare you, you scoundrels! You're openly committing such heinous crimes in broad daylight. Is there still justice and morality in your eyes? Have you all become beasts?! Zhou Yuan suddenly jumped out, startling the robbers who had just relaxed, and their spirits were instantly lifted."

  But when they saw that Zhou Yuan was alone, they all relaxed again, and the leader even burst out laughing.

  "What kind of person do I think you are? Originally, there was only one of you, and yet you're still at the same level as me in terms of martial arts skills. Do you think that with just your own strength, you can defeat my several hundred brave warriors?" After saying this, the group of bandits let out a scornful laugh once again.

  "Brave warriors? You call yourselves brave warriors? With this kind of trash, you're not even worthy of being called human! It's simply ridiculous!!"

  When Zhou Yuan said this, the faces of these robbers all turned cold.

  "That leader sneered and said, 'I don't know where this foolish young man came from. Are you looking for death? I'll fulfill your wish, Second Brother, Third Brother, go up and kill him!'"

  The leader finished speaking, and two burly men approached Zhou Yuan, surrounding him. These two men were also at the Refining Stage of cultivation, but compared to the leader, they were far inferior, and could only be considered as having just entered the Refining Stage.

  And that leader has been immersed in the realm of magic for many years.

  "Go die, you little brat!!!" After saying that, the two of them charged towards Zhou Yuan.

  Zhou Yuan sneered repeatedly, and suddenly, his hands pushed and pulled, then a large number of electric arcs burst out, killing the two robbers who had no time to react, and were immediately cut in half by Zhou Yuan's lightning-fast arc of light.

  In an instant, the second and third strongest bandits were beheaded by Zhou Yuan with a single strike, this thunderous move immediately stunned all the bandits.

  The women who were just robbed by these robbers, many have already died. Some could not bear the physical pain and died in agony. Others, after being robbed, felt that they had no face to live on, so they took out the cloth from their mouths and bit their tongues to death.

  Only one-third of them survived, but they were all stunned and obviously still unable to recover from the devastating news of losing their loved ones.

  At this moment, they saw Zhou Yuan make a move and easily kill the second and third strongest warriors. Immediately, they felt that revenge was in sight.

  "Sir, please avenge us, our whole family was killed by these beasts. Sir, you must avenge us. As long as you avenge us, we will be yours from now on, willing to be your slaves and do anything for you. Please, sir... waaahhh..."

  Many women could no longer bear it, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, crying out in pain. Their sorrowful voices made him feel so sad that he almost shed tears, and Zhou Yuan felt as if his heart was being violently twisted.

  At this moment, he had never felt his anger so great, he wanted to kill all the bastards in front of him and give these weak women justice.
