"Pfft--"

"Pfft--"

"Pfft--"

In an instant, several members of the Guard Team fell to the ground suddenly, as if an endless pressure, like a Great Mountain, pressed down on them, leaving them breathless, their faces flushed, unable to speak.

"Thud--"

"Thud--"

"Thud--"

King Mountain walked a few steps to the front of the Guard Team, looking down at them disdainfully, "How can it be that those of the Great Wilderness Border Village, the first to practice Body Refining, would be so weak?!"

"You..."

The group looked at King Mountain with resentment, but the mountain-like pressure rendered them speechless, and even their gaze towards King Mountain couldn’t hold.

At this moment, a frail man, whom King Mountain called Skinny Monkey, introduced.

"What are you from the Great Wilderness Border Village pretending about?" he continued, standing beside King Mountain, "King Mountain is the genius of our village. At the age of twenty-five, he has undergone Body Refining three times, and during the third time, he used the Demon Blood of the Great Ape Demon."

"His Power has reached 2500 jin and he has even awakened Divine Techniques. Does your Great Wilderness Border Village have anyone like this?"

"It’s time for the Great Wilderness Border Village to change masters!"

Skinny Monkey introduced with admiration, while King Mountain stood there with pride, enjoying the flattery.

The Guard Team looked at King Mountain with resentment, wanting to say something but unable due to the pressure.

"Snap!"

Seeing this, King Mountain snapped his fingers, and the pressure on the Guard Team vanished at once.

"It seems like you want to say something?" King Mountain asked.

"Huff huff huff----"

With the pressure gone, the few members of the Guard Team lay on the ground, gasping for air. After a while, they got up with difficulty and said,

"You... your power, before... our big brother Binghu, is nothing!" the Guard Team stuttered.

King Mountain’s face suddenly turned cold. After relaxing for a moment, the pressure returned, directly crushing them to the ground, even creating a deep pit.

"The Xu Binghu you speak of is nothing but a waste who disappeared in the Great Mountain. Such a person is not worthy of comparison with me, King Mountain!"

"This time, I will become the master of the Great Wilderness Border Village, and all that you have will become mine!"

With that, King Mountain clenched his five fingers, and the pressure in the space where the Guard Team was increased again, as if collapsing into a single point.

Just then, the bodies of the Guard Team members suddenly collapsed, their chests caved in, ribs piercing through flesh and exposed in the air, without any final cries for help.

"Ah!!"

Those behind, seeing this scene, cried out instantly, their psyches overwhelmed, their cries devastating the entire Great Wilderness Border Village.

Hearing this, Skinny Monkey came forward and picked them up directly, "What’s the noise? Believe it or not, I’ll throw you into the Great Mountain to be eaten by Demon Beasts!"

"Let them scream. Sooner or later, we’ll face the people of Great Wilderness Border Village. Let their cries attract them, so I don’t have to waste time looking for them," King Mountain said indifferently, his eyes filled with coldness, those who shouted had already been sentenced to death by him.

Indeed.

Not long after the shouting started, Qi Lao, leading the Guard Team of the Great Wilderness Border Village, arrived at the entrance of the village, just like those who went into the Great Mountain to hunt Demon Beasts, only missing Xu Binghu.

Qi Lao arrived at the scene and smelled a bloody aroma in the air. Soon, he saw several shriveled corpses.

"Little Liu, Little Lin, Little Yang..."

Qi Lao called out the names of the villagers who had already died, with a sob in his voice.

"Who... did this..."

Then, a faint aura emanated from Qi Lao, his already white hair fluttering with the aura.

Just as Qi Lao’s aura began to rise, an aura like a Great Mountain suddenly hit them, accompanied by an Ancient Great Demon’s aura, surging towards them like a tidal wave.

The villagers behind Qi Lao, seeing this, also quietly raised the aura of a thousand jin of Power, overlapping with Qi Lao’s to form a barrier, barely resisting King Mountain’s aura.

With the support behind him, Qi Lao’s pressure eased considerably, gaining enough strength to speak.

"Who are you? Why have you come to our Great Wilderness Border Village to commit murder?"

King Mountain replied nonchalantly, "I came to thank your Great Wilderness Border Village. If not for your selfless sharing of the Body Refining Manual, I wouldn’t have discovered my talent in Body Refining, nor would I have my current Achievement!"

"If that’s the case, then why do this, killing the members of our village’s Guard Team?" Qi Lao asked angrily.

"Ha ha!" King Mountain laughed heartily, "This is how I repay the Great Wilderness Border Village. You are too weak, unfit to be the number one village. Only under my leadership can you achieve that!"

"I was testing their strength, hoping they would further enhance their abilities. As a result, they couldn’t withstand it!"

King Mountain stated with a serious face, as if everything was perfectly justified.

Qi Lao, hearing this, gritted his teeth, "Ingrate!"

King Mountain paid no heed to Qi Lao’s words. He had always been the village villain, having heard such words countless times, they had no effect on him.

"Hmph! If big brother Xu hadn’t disappeared, would you have been able to act so arrogantly here?" someone behind Qi Lao said angrily. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Hearing this, King Mountain clenched his fists, and the Gravity Suppression mixed directly into the invading aura.

The people of Great Wilderness Border Village had never experienced such an event. The sudden increase in pressure broke their resistance instantly, shattering the barrier they had formed.

"Pfft---"

Immediately, Qi Lao spat blood, clutching his chest, as did everyone behind him; they had no idea where the sudden pressure came from.

"Your Great Wilderness Border Village, is your strength really this weak? How did you become the number one village?" King Mountain’s mocking voice came through, followed by a cold face, "Even if Xu Binghu hadn’t disappeared, he’s no match for me. I’ve awakened Divine Techniques, does he?"

"I survived the third Body Refinement using Beast Blood of the Ancient Great Ape Demon, does he? My Power has reached 2500 jin, does he?"

"Not a single one. On what grounds can he compare with me?"

"Moreover, someone who can disappear inside the Great Mountain, what skills could he possibly have? He merely got the Body Refining Manual before me, just lucky, but before absolute talent, everything is futile!"

Divine Techniques!!

Qi Lao heard what King Mountain said just now.

Getting Divine Techniques through Body Refining is extremely difficult. Firstly, the Demon Beast itself needs to have Divine Techniques, and during Body Refining, one must be incredibly lucky, only a one-in-a-thousand chance to obtain the Demon Beast’s Divine Techniques.

A person with Divine Techniques is vastly different from those without. A person with Divine Techniques can easily contend with 100 opponents of the same level without Divine Techniques!

No wonder the person in front of him is so strong. Is the Great Wilderness Border Village really going to be taken over by this thug?

Qi Lao was utterly unwilling.

As he pondered, King Mountain suddenly pointed to the highest building in the village, saying, "That? That should be Xu Binghu’s house, right? Previously, being the strongest, he indeed had the qualifications to live in such a place!"

"But now that the strongest has changed, that house should also change hands!"

With that, he directly ignored those injured lying on the ground and walked towards the tallest building, his actions barbaric and impolite, leaving people powerless.

Qi Lao lay on the ground, his cheeks twitching, looking towards the Xu Family’s direction with worry. He gritted his teeth, wanting to get up, but had no strength left; the intense pain within his body left him with waves of despair and sorrow.

"Xiao Ran’s Strength is very strong, but can he confront a Body Refiner who’s already awakened Divine Techniques?"

Qi Lao didn’t know.

After all, they’ve never seen Divine Techniques before; this was the first time.

No choice.

Qi Lao looked towards the foggy Great Mountain, thinking silently.

"Binghu, can you come back?"
