Chapter 137: Blood in Hand

Time passed slowly, the sun gradually setting, the moon rising slowly, shining brightly in the sky. Within the Magic Valley, it was quiet, with only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind.

As for Ye Xuan, the injuries on his head had healed considerably, at least enough for him to regain his mobility.

He slowly got up, limping towards the exit of the Magic Valley, looking quite disheveled.

Regarding activating the Kunpeng Divine Form, it required focus and being in a good state. The leg injury didn’t affect the activation, but the head injury was a different story. So, he could only leave limping like this…

Ye Xuan returned in the early hours of the morning, walking until it was bright outside, finally arriving back at the Awakening Academy.

Upon entering the academy, he ran into Lin Xu. Lin Xu looked at Ye Xuan, who was covered in wounds, and asked in surprise, “What happened to you? How did you get more injured?”

Ye Xuan helplessly replied, “I went to the Magic Valley.”

Lin Xu paused for a moment, “You were beaten up by that monkey and fox? It seems they are quite sensible, not daring to go all out on you. Don’t be so impulsive next time.”

Ye Xuan chuckled bitterly. He never expected the monkey to be so sensible, leaving him in such a sorry state.

Thinking about it, Ye Xuan said, “Since they are so sensible, should we let them go? Many Awakened from the martial world must have suffered casualties this time, right?”

Lin Xu shook his head, “If it were a time of peace, with such an incident, even if they were sensible, they would undoubtedly die. But the current situation is different.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Xuan inquired.

Lin Xu sighed, “The threat humanity faces now is too severe. The beasts in the Magic Valley only defend their territory and have not actively invaded human territory. In all honesty, among the beasts, they are considered neutral now, and humanity faces many threats. Our defense system is not yet fully established, and countless beasts are continuously attacking human defenses. Although we in China are relatively fine, other countries are in a dire situation, especially a certain island nation, on the brink of collapse.”

Ye Xuan nodded, “So, the beasts in the Magic Valley pose little threat to humans, and we should prioritize dealing with other beasts?”

Lin Xu nodded, “Exactly. From their reluctance to harm you, it’s clear that despite their fierce words, they lack the courage to be enemies with humans. They just want to survive on their own territory. There’s no need to entangle with them.”

Many Awakened from the martial world suffered casualties, but Lin Xu didn’t blame the monkey and the Six-Tailed White Fox. Instead, he attributed the grudge to the CEO of the real estate company.

Lin Xu acted accordingly, publicly killing the CEO, seeking revenge for the martial world Awakened who died or were injured.

Lin Xu was a straightforward person. From the monkey’s perspective, its actions were justified.

The monkey’s mother was pursued by the rich second generation of the real estate company, who sought thrills, cracked open her skull, and feasted on her brain. The monkey escaped into the mountains, awakening into the Golden Monkey it was today.

Now, when that unforgettable enemy came knocking again, how could it not seek revenge?

The Awakened from the martial world were manipulated and forced by public opinion to save the rich second generation, leading to conflicts with the Golden Monkey and resulting in many casualties. In the whole incident, the Golden Monkey was the victim.

Even after awakening, it didn’t actively attack human territory but stayed obediently in the Magic Valley.

However, its enemies actively sought death, offering themselves up. Could it not seek revenge? Could it be blamed for this? No!

Ye Xuan said slowly, “I understand now. I won’t bother them in the future.”

The Golden Monkey and the Six-Tailed White Fox, who were timid and hesitant, didn’t dare to attack. How could Ye Xuan bother them again?

Lin Xu looked at Ye Xuan, covered in blood, and worriedly said, “By the way, you’re quite injured. Should I get you some healing medicine?”

Ye Xuan immediately replied, “No need. I know my body well; I’ll recover quickly.”

After that, Ye Xuan returned to his dormitory, first taking a shower and wiping the blood off his face and head to avoid scaring Su Mengli.

Then, he called Qin Heng, asking him to come to his dormitory.

Not long after, Qin Heng arrived, with two scabbards hanging from his waist, one large and one small. The small one was a pig slaughtering knife, and the large one was a mysterious iron kitchen knife, symmetrically placed on his sides.

At this moment, Qin Heng, with two knives hanging from his waist, looked different. His previous gentlemanly demeanor was now more akin to a butcher.

“Brother, what do you need me for?” Qin Heng asked.

Ye Xuan smiled, “Nothing, I just need to borrow your pig slaughtering knife.”

Qin Heng immediately drew out the pig slaughtering knife, saying, “No problem, it was originally yours.”

“Thanks, I’ll return it to you later.”

“It was originally yours. If anyone should be thankful, it should be me. Feel free to use it; I have to go.” Qin Heng then left, and Ye Xuan picked up the pig slaughtering knife, running his hand across the blade.

The pig slaughtering knife was extremely sharp. Although it was lighter than the mysterious iron heavy sword, its sharpness was unparalleled.

Ye Xuan ran his hand across the blade, leaving a red line on his skin, which then faded away.

For Qin Heng, the reason the pig slaughtering knife lacked killing power was due to its excessive sharpness and insufficient strength.

The pig slaughtering knife was very suitable for dealing with humans. Its size and sharpness were perfect for killing.

However, most of the Awakened’s methods were used on beasts. Using the pig slaughtering knife to chop beasts, whose size was too small, even if it could cut through their skin, it was challenging to cause significant wounds.

For a beast over ten meters in size, the wounds caused by the pig slaughtering knife were too small, resulting in Qin Heng’s lack of attack power.

This was why he preferred the current mysterious iron heavy sword. It was heavy, large, and when wielded, the combination of the sword’s weight and his energy could cause considerable damage with a single strike.

Now, using the pig slaughtering knife, Ye Xuan could easily commit suicide. With its sharpness, if he didn’t dodge or defend, one strike should immediately end his life, right?

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions and state, then aimed at his neck and struck down with the knife.

Pain, an unparalleled agony, instantly filled Ye Xuan’s mind. His head flew high, then fell back down under the effect of gravity.

His whole body was filled with unbearable pain. At the same time, Ye Xuan saw his back, realizing how handsome his silhouette was, just like his front, and his buttocks were quite perky…
