Chapter 5655
“Grandma, why do the people in the village seem a bit strange?” Kai couldn’t help but ask.
The old woman’s hand trembled slightly, then she said, “Don’t overthink it, they’re all good people. You two rest here for a bit, I’ll go get you something to eat.”
With that, the old woman hurriedly left the house.
Kai and Liu Xue exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of unease in each other’s eyes.
They vaguely felt that this village seemed to be hiding some secret.
After staying in the village for two days, Kai and Liu Xue found the villagers increasingly strange.
They always looked at them with greedy eyes, as if they were plotting something bad.
Moreover, they noticed that the villagers often secretly gathered together in the middle of the night, seemingly discussing something.
On the third night, Kai and Liu Xue were resting in their house when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
They immediately became alert, quietly went to the door, and peeked out through the crack in the door.
They saw the villagers holding torches, surrounding their house.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man, holding a large knife, his eyes gleaming with ferocity.
“You two outsiders must have many treasures on you. Hand them over now, or don’t blame us for being impolite!”
the man shouted.
Hearing this, Kai and Liu Xue immediately understood everything.
It turned out the villagers had long coveted them and wanted to kill them for their resources.
“You greedy bunch! We came to your village seeking help, and you want to harm us!” Kai said angrily.
The middle-aged man sneered, “Enough nonsense. In this dog-eat-dog world, only strength reigns supreme.
You two outsiders, your strength suppressed, are no match for us. If you know what’s good for you, hand over your treasures obediently, or you’ll only face death!”
Kai and Liu Xue exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute glint in each other’s eyes.
They knew this battle was inevitable; since the villagers were unjust, they would retaliate in kind.
“Alliance Leader Liu, let’s go!” Kai shouted, charging forward first.
Liu Xue was equally fearless, swinging her longsword, unleashing a sharp sword aura towards the middle-aged man.
The man dodged easily, then brandished his broadsword, slashing at Liu Xue.
Kai, meanwhile, channeled his spiritual energy, unleashing his ultimate technique. Golden runes flew from his body, shooting towards the surrounding villagers.
The villagers scrambled to avoid the runes, but many were still struck, letting out screams of pain.
The battle instantly intensified. Although Kai and Liu Xue’s strength was suppressed, they relied on their rich combat experience and unwavering will to fight the villagers to the death.
However, the villagers were numerous and extremely fierce. They surged in from all directions, surrounding Kai and Liu Xue.
In the fierce battle, Kai and Liu Xue gradually found themselves overwhelmed.
Several more wounds appeared on their bodies, blood flowing continuously.
But they did not give up, gritting their teeth and persevering.
Just when they felt despair, suddenly, Kai remembered the Golden Dragon bloodline within him.
A thought struck him, and he circulated his spiritual power, activating the power of his Golden Dragon bloodline.
In an instant, a powerful dragon’s might emanated from him, spreading outwards.
Sensing this dragon’s might, the villagers retreated in terror, their faces showing fear.
Even the arrogant middle-aged man showed a look of horror; he hadn’t expected Kai to possess such power.
