“AHH…!” After rus.h.i.+ng into the Moon Prayer Hall, every warrior from the Great Moon Tribe exclaimed in shock as their countenances contorted when they saw the corpses littered all around the grand hall.

Since neither Selena nor the search party that was sent out to find her returned last night, the chief gathered all the elders here this morning to discuss the situation regarding Selena. The morning a.s.sembly had barely begun when someone shut the hall’s doors from the inside. No one outside knew what was going on in the Moon Prayer Hall. All they heard was the faint noise of weapons clas.h.i.+ng against each other, angry yells, and miserable cries. Since they couldn’t get in, all they could do was panic outside. When they finally managed to come in, everyone was stunned by the corpses and blood covering the floor of the hall. They were even more baffled by the bodies of the Shatu people lying in the big hall.

“No need to panic. Elder Gezong has betrayed the Great Moon Tribe and colluded with the Shatu people. He secretly led these Shatu people into the Great Moon Hall to ambush and harm to us, but they all have been executed. How is the situation outside now?”

One of those who barged in calmed himself down before replying, “There are many Shatu people outside — they breached our last line of defense and have set many places within our stronghold on fire…!”

“Elder Mutu is heavily injured, summon the physician at once to treat him! Elder Ghan, a.s.semble your men to put out the fire before it spreads any further! Elder Pimond, you lead the troop outside the Moon Prayer Hall to purge Elder Gezong’s remaining allies within our stronghold. Do not give them any chances to start another revolt! Also, gather the women, children, and elderly at the Moon Prayer Hall. As for the rest, pick up your weapons and follow me to the inner gates to greet the Shatu people! Today is the day we decide our Great Moon Tribe’s fate…!”

Seranchi wiped the tears from the corner of her eye. In just a split second, she switched from being a mother to being the chief of the Great Moon Tribe. She issued her orders with great composure and was able to immediately calm everyone down.

Even Yan Liqiang was secretly moved by Seranchi’s performance. She was indeed an outstanding woman.

After issuing the orders, her gaze finally landed on his face. She seemed like she wanted to say something but decided against it. In the end, she only cast a glance at Selena.

As expected of the pair of mother and daughter, Selena was able to immediately understand her mother’s intention just by looking at her eyes. She then gave Yan Liqiang a pleading look and called out to him, “Brother Long…”

“Hahahaha…!” Yan Liqiang laughed heartily. “Don’t worry. There are so many Shatu dogs who have sent themselves to our doorsteps. I’m not done killing them yet…!”

Selena’s gaze instantly fell on the fine steel spear in his hands. “Ah, Brother Long, your spear is crooked. I shall fetch you a new one…!”

Yan Liqiang didn’t notice that the handle of his spear was indeed crooked until Selena pointed it out. Since it was an ordinary steel spear, it probably got deformed because the material couldn’t withstand all the heavy beating Yan Liqiang gave the Shatu people with his terrifying strength.

“It’s alright, no need for that. This steel spear may be slightly crooked, but it’s still usable. I’ll fix it in an instant!” Yan Liqiang smiled gently and then started bending the handle under everyone’s gazes, straightening out the crooked steel spear almost instantly. The steel handle of the spear seemed as though it was made out of mud in Yan Liqiang’s hands. The elders, Great Moon Tribe warriors, and two women in the grand hall were stunned by the sight. After straightening the steel spear, Yan Liqiang gave the handle a few pats before he audibly knocked its end against the limestone flooring of the hall. “See? All good!”

“Wooow, how is that even possible?” Selena gazed at Yan Liqiang with sparkles in her eyes.

“Dire situation outside. I will cut this short and go there ahead of everyone since I can move faster. We’ll talk after I kill a few more Shatu people and keep the situation under control. Come after all of you have a.s.sembled your men! Avoid sending men in waves to the battlefield at a time like this!” Yan Liqiang reminded everyone on the scene and was about to head outside the grand hall.

“Wait, Brother Long…!” Selena’s mother called out to him, then took off the green cape she wore. She came before Yan Liqiang and kneeled to personally tie her cape around Yan Liqiang’s waist like a belt. “The warriors outside have never seen you. To avoid confusion, wear this cape so that they will instantly recognize you as an important guest of the Great Moon Tribe!”

Yan Liqiang was secretly impressed again by her thoughtfulness. He nodded without saying anything, then flashed out of the Moon Prayer Hall toward the battlefield near the valley entrance…

Just as Seranchi said, the Great Moon Tribe’s warriors, whom he ran into on the way, didn’t attack him as soon as they saw the green cape around his waist. They let Yan Liqiang pa.s.s without even questioning him.

At the valley, there was a pa.s.s that protected the Great Moon Tribe’s mountain village. It was known as the Inner Pa.s.s.

By the time Yan Liqiang arrived, the Inner Pa.s.s of the Great Moon Tribe was in imminent danger. Half of the gate had been broken open by a huge log. Hundreds of Great Moon Tribe warriors and Shatu warriors were clas.h.i.+ng against each other in the narrow s.p.a.ce between the gates. Some Shatu warriors scaled up to the top of the wall and fought their opponents there. Warriors from both parties were seen continuously falling off the Inner Pa.s.s’ wall.

Yan Liqiang could see the Great Moon Tribe warriors clenching their teeth while fighting the Shatu warriors as if their lives depended on it. The morale was extremely low. If it wasn’t for the fact that their families were right behind them, most of them would have turned around and fled by now.

Perhaps the others would be nervous at the sight of this, but to Yan Liqiang, the scene was no different than the one that Selena had showed to him last night. It immediately ignited his l.u.s.t, but for blood.

‘Whoosh…! Whoosh…! Whoosh…! Whoosh…! Whoosh…!’

Arrows rained down from the other side of the gates. Yan Liqiang managed to deflect them with his sword, but the other warriors around him weren’t that lucky. The rain of arrows immediately knocked more than a dozen Great Moon Tribe warriors to the ground. Some of them got hit in their vital parts and died instantly, while some were injured and let out blood-curdling screams. However, on such battlefields filled with rallying cries, no one would care about the blood-curdling screams.

The moment the torrent of arrows touched down, Yan Liqiang had climbed on top of the wall. He shook his steel spear and punched a hole through the throat of three Shatu warriors who had just climbed on top of the wall. With a miserable scream, they fell off the top of the wall.

Not far away from there, a half-naked, muscular Shatu man sporting a braid that looked like a rat’s tail was battling against another Great Moon Tribe warrior with his saber. The latter looked like a soldier from the Great Moon Tribe since he was obviously better dressed than the other warriors. His upper body was protected by scale armor and he appeared to be more powerful than the rest…

Unfortunately, his opponent was a Shatu expert who was about the size of a wild bear and he was struggling. As soon as Yan Liqiang reached the top of the wall and easily sent three Shatu warriors flying, the Great Moon Tribe soldier let out a miserable wail. He had failed to withstand the Shatu man’s saber and was knocked off from the top of the Inner Pa.s.s’ wall.

“RAGHHHHHH…!!” The bear-like Shatu expert sent the soldier flying with his weapon, then slapped his own chest, roaring while brandis.h.i.+ng his weapon over his head as he yelled loudly in the Shatu language.

Yan Liqiang couldn’t understand what the man was yelling about, but the way the Shatu man acted immediately reminded Yan Liqiang of a scene from the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ when Feng Xiaogang shouted, ‘Who else?!’

F*CK!

Just when Yan Liqiang was looking for some more good ingredients for his toy capsule machine, he saw the Shatu expert’s insolence. After cursing inwardly, he charged toward the man at lightning speed.

The Martial Master expert was only distracted for a moment but Yan Liqiang was already in front of him. He yelped, then raised his saber without even thinking and swung it toward the latter.

Saber and spear clashed against each other. Yan Liqiang’s spear easily glided down the Shatu expert’s saber, slick like a loach in water. It pierced through the Shatu expert’s mouth with the tip protruding out from the back of his head…

Yan Liqiang flung his sword and the Shatu man’s head was smashed into pieces. His corpse was also thrown off the top of the wall.

There could only be one winner on the battlefield. When Yan Liqiang was excited, whoever tried to pretend in front of him would die the quickest.

The other Great Moon Tribe warriors on top of the wall were shocked. When they saw Yan Liqiang dispose of that terrifying Shatu expert with his spear just as quickly as he had arrived, their morale boosted greatly…
