I panted, leaning against the ancient tree. Kexin and Keya also emerged from the bushes, running towards me with worried expressions.
"Master, are you alright!"
As soon as Kexin reached me, she touched my exposed skin, her expression tense.
"I'm fine. What could happen to me dealing with a few savages!"
I said with feigned ease to Kexin and Keya.
Although I said this to them, my hand, still behind my back, was trembling.
These people must be the last of the Kasa tribe's elites. Unfortunately, they followed the wrong leader.
I looked with a sense of admiration at the savage warriors lying on the ground, feeling a pang of regret.
But now was not the time for sentiment. Their signal had been sent. Ke Zhu would appear with his men at any moment, and we had to be prepared.
I called Kexin and Keya to my side, gave them a few instructions, and then began collecting materials.
Time was short, and we didn't have time to set up any elaborate traps.
But this was merely a part of my plan.
Ke Zhu, today, this will be your burial ground!
After everything was set, I had Kexin and Keya hide in the bushes again, while I leaned against the ancient tree, disappearing into the shadows.
Before long, the bushes rustled, and a group of Kasa emerged from them.
Ke Zhu was at the front.
As soon as Ke Zhu saw the scene in the clearing, his eyes turned bloodshot. The Kasa tribe warriors who had fought me earlier were all neatly lying on the ground, each with a fatal wound on their chest.
While I admired their courage, I knew that mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.
Therefore, before falling into any traps, I made sure to finish off each one, ensuring they were completely dead.
"Who! Who is the cowardly and shameless wretch!"
Ke Zhu, with bloodshot eyes, brandished his spear, venting his rage at the air.
The Kasa warriors behind him also had red eyes.
Ke Zhu intended to walk to the bodies, but his subordinate stopped him after a few steps.
Ke Zhu paused for a moment, then saw a rope I had laid out, somewhat hidden on the ground. He froze and then roared, "Come out if you dare!"
Although he said this, his body instinctively tensed.
He then gestured, ordering his subordinates to spread out and form a pincer formation.
"Hahahaha! Ke Zhu, your grandfather is here!"
Seeing that the time was right, I emerged from the shadows at a leisurely pace, laughing loudly at Ke Zhu.
Upon seeing me, Ke Zhu became like a man-eating beast, his messy hair shifting with his emotions.
"It's you! Today, I, Ke Zhu, will make you pay with blood!"
Ke Zhu and I had a deep-seated feud, and now it was a fight to the death.
The situation was about to explode!
Ke Zhu swung his spear, cutting the rope on the ground, and then charged at me with his men!
And this was precisely the moment I had been waiting for. I waved my hand and shouted, "Act!"
As my words fell, blood flowers bloomed on the chests of the savage warriors beside Ke Zhu.
Screeching roars tore through the air.
It was Kexin and Keya, who had been ambushed in the bushes, opening fire!
I knew that the men Ke Zhu brought were all battle-hardened tribal warriors. A small trap would not be enough to make them fall.
Therefore, the trap was merely a diversion, a means to make them scatter.
My appearance further drew their attention, while the real killing blow came from Kexin and Keya, who had been ambushed in the bushes beforehand!
As one savage warrior after another fell, Ke Zhu was like a caged beast whose wings had been clipped, with only death awaiting him!
Ke Zhu was now completely frenzied. He charged at me recklessly and, upon reaching me, thrust his spear.
A skilled hunter knows that a beast is most dangerous when it makes its final, desperate attack. So, I did not intend to confront Ke Zhu directly and dodged to the side.
The force of Ke Zhu's thrust was terrifying.
The spear pierced deep into the ancient tree, half of it remaining exposed!
In a life-and-death struggle, opportunities are fleeting.
Without giving Ke Zhu a chance to retrieve his spear, I swung my saber at his arm!
Seeing this, Ke Zhu's beastly nature was further ignited. He neither dodged nor flinched, intending to trade wound for wound, and reached out with his right hand towards my neck!
This was a move to take me down with him!
