Chapter 141: Dragon Might

Ye Xiaoxuan closed his eyes, surrendering himself to the biting and clawing of his enemies. His clothes shredded like paper, and the harsh sounds of sharp teeth and claws incessantly tearing into his flesh filled the air.

From a distance, roughly five or six pairs of eerie green eyes darted rapidly through the darkness, accompanied by the ceaseless growls unique to attacking wolves.

The offensive power of a wolf pack is terrifying. Even the king of beasts, the tiger, would never dare to provoke a pack of wolves. Working with seamless coordination and relentless ferocity, wolves can tear tigers and lions to shreds in a matter of short moments.

Right now, Ye Xiaoxuan was subjected to just such an onslaught. With his eyes closed, as if everything around him were of no concern, his mind drifted to the everyday care and affection his parents had showered upon him. Yet all of that had drifted far away from him, never to return.

And the culprits responsible for this outcome were these very werewolves surrounding him!

Amidst the tearing of the werewolves, Ye Xiaoxuan's frigid voice seemed to emanate from the depths of a ten-thousand-year glacier, so cold it made one's teeth chatter.

"You are the Wolf Squad of the Qitian Corporation, aren't you? You can come to kill me and rob those items, and I could endure all of that, but you had no right to kill my parents! Harming my family leaves only one outcome—death!"

Within the swirling green darkness, a pair of eyes as fiery red as blazing embers suddenly appeared! Following closely, with a sound like a dragon's roar, a crimson dragon surged forth in fury from Ye Xiaoxuan's body, circling and dancing three feet above his head, illuminating the entire room as if a scorching sun had risen!

The green light dimmed instantly. The six members of the Wolf Squad whimpered in terror, trembling as if they had encountered their nemesis, and tried to flee. Yet the entire room was bathed in this crimson radiance, leaving them nowhere to hide!

Clearly, the window was right beside them, but the six men stumbled and ran blindly about the room like blind men, utterly unable to get out! At last, their knees buckled, and they dropped to the floor, kowtowing incessantly to Ye Xiaoxuan, their bodies convulsing in violent tremors!

Gazing upon the corpses of his parents on the ground, Ye Xiaoxuan's fury reached its absolute peak. Fire flashed in his eyes, and the crimson dragon above his head raised its head and roared. With a swift twist of its dragon form, it coiled around the neck of a werewolf!

In reality, that was merely the phantom image perceived by onlookers; the true action was that Ye Xiaoxuan's right arm had clamped like lightning around the werewolf's throat, hoisting him into the air!

The werewolf's eyes rolled up white, his feet dangling off the ground, and his body trembling. Yet he lacked even the courage to struggle; the muscles on his face spasmed, his mouth gaped wide in a silent scream, and with a sudden howl, he spewed a gout of flame from within his body, followed by a puff of black smoke. His head slumped to the side, and he drew his last breath!

The remaining five werewolves did not even dare to raise their heads, remaining on their knees and shivering. Far from resisting, they did not even harbor the thought of escaping!

They were like lowly slaves in the presence of their master, their life and death entirely controlled by Ye Xiaoxuan, daring not show the slightest defiance, and lacking even the qualification to beg for mercy.

Ye Xiaoxuan's slaughter did not cease. Stretching out his left hand, the ethereal crimson dragon coiled around the neck of a second man, and that werewolf felt himself being forcibly sucked directly into Ye Xiaoxuan's grasp! It was as though he had thrust his head into a crematorium, and an inexpressible, scorching heat instantly coursed through his entire body!

Ye Xiaoxuan watched coldly as black smoke billowed from the facial orifices of the werewolf, accompanied by the stench of burning flesh and skin!

With a cold snort, Ye Xiaoxuan exerted a slight pressure with his five fingers, and the werewolf's entire head shattered into fine powder, scattering across the ground without spilling a single drop of blood—the entire head had been thoroughly baked dry!

Ye Dajun practically stumbled as he ran all the way back home, too frantic to even use the key to open the door, crashing right through it instead!

The lights in the side room flickered on immediately, and someone shouted in terror, "Who is it?!" Upon hearing that, Ye Dajun instantly felt a wave of relief—his father was safe!

Yet immediately afterward, a deafening crash echoed from inside, as if the entire house had collapsed. Following that, his eldest uncle cried out in shock, "Who are you?"

Without pausing to think, Ye Dajun roared in fury, "Who dares harm my father?!" and charged through the doorway!

Dust filled the air throughout the room. Dajun's mother had not yet recovered her wits, pulling the quilt tightly around herself and shivering in terror. True to his status as a martial arts master, Ye's uncle sat at the bedside wearing only a pair of large boxer shorts, his shoulder firmly pinned down by someone to keep him from moving.

Just as Ye Dajun rushed forward, that figure shoved Ye's uncle aside, rolled up the quilt to sweep Dajun's mother toward him as well, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Catch them! Protect your parents and fall back! Go find your master!"

Ye Dajun first caught his father, then spun around to embrace his mother along with the quilt. Only then did he realize that the person who had leaped down from the roof was a bald man—and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Little Yu'er's father!

Why was he here? Judging by his tense demeanor, he seemed to have encountered a formidable opponent. Could it be the very same gang that had murdered his second uncle and second aunt?

Before he could demand an explanation, the bald man suddenly bounded onto the bed, used the headboard to spring upward, and vaulted back onto the roof! Ye Dajun's eyes widened in disbelief; he had never imagined that Yu'er's father was also a martial arts expert!

Only then did Dajun's mother regain her composure and ask in a trembling voice, "What on earth is going on?"

Tears streaming down his face, Ye Dajun replied, "Bandits have broken in! Hurry and go find my master, Old Shepherd. I'm going to help Little Sanzi! Second Uncle and Second Aunt... have already been murdered by the bandits!"

His eldest uncle staggered slightly, staring blankly at Ye Dajun as he stammered, "You... what did you say?"

Wiping away his tears, Ye Dajun pulled them toward the front gate and gave a forceful shove. "Go! Hurry and find my master!"

A figure came hurtling from ahead. Before the person even arrived, a grappling hook soared out, snagging the crossbeam above Ye Dajun's main gate. The figure vaulted over the wall like a goshawk and said in a deep, resolute voice to Ye Dajun, "You get them to safety, leave this place to me!"

Squinting through his tears, Ye Dajun recognized Seventh Master Gou. A wave of relief washed over him, and he choked out, "Seventh Master, save my younger brother!"

Hao Liuzhi came running over, grasping Ye Dajun's hand as he urged, "Hurry up and go. I heard the commotion over here and went to notify my master first; your master hasn't received word yet! There are more than twenty of these men, and they are extremely dangerous. My master might not have the upper hand, so we must find reinforcements! Where is Xuanzi?"

Turning his head to glance at the pitch-black house of his second uncle and aunt, Ye Dajun felt a sharp pang in his heart. He said to Hao Liuzhi, "Liuzhi, help me get my mom and dad to safety, I'm going back to help Little San'er!" With those words, he turned and dashed back toward the house!

What was happening inside the room remained unknown to those outside. One after another, werewolves leaped into the dark room, yet strangely, not a single one of them ever emerged again!

As Ye Dajun raced back to Ye Xiaoxuan's house, he spotted a figure hanging from the window, preparing to climb inside. Roaring furiously, he sprinted forward a few steps, kicked off the wall to launch himself into the air, grabbed the fellow by the collar, and slammed him heavily to the ground!
