In silence, one either erupts or perishes.
Jiang Han's nature didn't include the word "violent." In the six years since his parents disappeared, despite experiencing the coldness of human nature and enduring countless bullying, he rarely fought back violently.
When people insulted, bullied, or hit him, he silently endured it. He hardly ever lost his temper, let alone went mad. Only once, when a child hit Jiang Li, did he get angry and fight back.
Over the years, his greatest wish was for his parents to return safely. Aside from that, he wanted to take care of his sister, who depended on him, and ensure she grew up healthy and happy.
For six years, there was no news of his parents, and he had lost all hope. His parents were likely dead; otherwise, they wouldn't have abandoned him and Jiang Li for six years. No parent, no matter how heartless, would do such a thing.
With the hope of his parents' return shattered, Jiang Li became the only thing in his life.
Now, someone wanted to take away the most important thing in his life, subjecting Jiang Li to humiliation and making her life worse than death. How did Jiang Han feel about that?
Jiang Hu and others still wanted to kill him, and if he didn't resist, he would die.
...
"Blood flowing like rivers? Corpses strewn everywhere? Hahaha!"
The four people rushing from afar laughed upon hearing Jiang Han's words.
They were from the nearby Shi Village, not from any major family, but they were notorious for their bravery and ferocity.
Leading them was a burly man at the Purple Mansion 7th Level, the leader of the four, named Shi You. As he quickly approached, he sneered, "Jiang Han, do you know how many warriors are on the mountain right now? At least one hundred and fifty, with nearly a hundred stronger than you. You want to make the Tianhu Mountain Range flow with blood? Corpses everywhere? What a joke!"
"Hahaha!"
"Jiang Han, you're doomed today. Not even the gods can save you. Here's a piece of advice: don't resist, and we'll give you a quick death. If you fall into Jiang Long's hands, he'll surely torture you to death. Why put yourself through that?"
"Exactly, Jiang Han, don't resist. Dying at the hands of the Four Heroes of Shi Village isn't shameful!"
"Boss, stop wasting time with him, let's do it!"
Shi You and the others spoke casually, but their Mystic Power was rapidly circulating. Born in a small village, they often fought with warriors from nearby large families. Reaching their current level and surviving was no accident. The four had decent combat power and were somewhat renowned in the area.
"Jiang Han, die!"
Seizing the opportunity, Shi You leaped into the air, his battle knife sweeping towards Jiang Han's legs.
Almost simultaneously, the other three also leaped into the air, each targeting a part of Jiang Han's body. Their coordination was more skilled than Jiang Hu and Jiang Bao's. Shi You's move was a feint to draw Jiang Han's attention, while the real killing blows came from the other three.
Without any surprise, the four's attacks easily pierced through Jiang Han's body. Jiang Han used the Phantom Shift Divine Ability, appearing behind Shi You, and unleashed the Berserk Power Divine Ability, striking Shi You's back with a knife.
Shi You reacted faster than Jiang Xiong had before. Sensing the deadly threat behind him, he twisted to dodge but was too late. The blade struck his back, and if not for his quick response, it would have taken his life.
"Hiss!"
Shi You rolled on the ground several times, blood gushing from his back, a bone severed. Staring at Jiang Han in shock, he exclaimed, "A Divine Ability? You've awakened a Divine Ability? Shi Qiang, you must flee, you're no match for him!"
Shi Qiang and the others exchanged glances, two of them stepping forward to shield Shi You, while one hoisted him up to escape. In the next moment, Jiang Han appeared before them, slashing at him and Shi You.
The one carrying Shi You was killed with a single slash, and Shi You tumbled to the ground again. Seeing his brother killed, his eyes turned red with rage, and he roared, "Ah! Jiang Han, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Those who kill will be killed!"
Jiang Han said coldly, "Since you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed by me. I said today I would make the Tianhu Mountain Range littered with corpses, and you're the first batch."
Ignoring his injuries, Shi You charged at Jiang Han, who used the Phantom Shift Divine Ability again to kill another person.
Shi You's eyes were bloodshot as he swung his knife at Jiang Han once more, shouting to the remaining person, "Shi Yun, run!"
This time, Jiang Han didn't use Phantom Shift. As Shi You's knife came down, he met it with a slash of his own.
Shi You was only at the Purple Mansion 7th Level and was severely injured; he couldn't withstand Jiang Han's berserk power. He fell with a crash, regret filling his eyes.
Shi Yun was terrified, losing all will to fight. Grabbing his battle knife, he began to flee desperately, shouting as he ran, "Help! Jiang Han is here, someone come quick, quick... ah!"
Before he could finish, Jiang Han's figure suddenly appeared before him.
Jiang Han charged forward at an angle, his long knife slicing sideways, and a head flew into the air. The headless body gushed blood like a red fountain.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
At that moment, a team emerged from the forest on the Eleventh Peak, just in time to witness Jiang Han killing Shi Yun.
Jiang Han stood sideways to them, expressionless, in front of the headless body. After it fell, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and slowly wiped the blood from his battle knife.
After wiping the blood, he looked at the group on the Eleventh Peak, showing no panic, his expression cold as iron.
He slowly raised his battle knife, pointing it at the group, and said in a deep voice, "Are you here to hunt me too? I am Jiang Han. If you want my life, come down and fight me."
The black-clad youth's voice was powerful, his blood-stained robe flapping in the wind, and the headless body at his feet continued to bleed, as if the scene was frozen in time.
The five who emerged from the Eleventh Peak were all intimidated by Jiang Han, not daring to move or speak.
Everyone knew the combat power of Shi You and his group, and they had just seen Shi You not long ago. For Jiang Han to have killed them all in such a short time, how strong was he?
Five hundred Xuan Stones were indeed tempting, but only if you had a life to spend them!
Seeing no one move, Jiang Han sneered contemptuously, sheathing his battle knife behind him, and slowly walked towards the Twelfth Peak.
After a few steps, he turned to the people on the mountain and said, "Pass on a message for me—anyone still in the Tianhu Mountain Range after half an hour will be my mortal enemy, and I will kill them without mercy."
