Azure Peak Mountain, the most majestic peak on the edge of Liang City, was once a paradise for hunting and gathering. Unfortunately, after the rampage of beasts from the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, traces of High-Level Beasts appeared on Azure Peak Mountain, and even Sixth-Stage Beasts emerged, turning it into a forbidden area for the common people.
However, there was a group of strong individuals who relied on their own power and were not afraid of Sixth-Stage Beasts. Instead, they claimed the mountain as their own, plundering the common people and becoming a scourge in the Liang City area.
Tiger Head Stronghold, located in the middle of Azure Peak Mountain, was established by Ouyang Hu. Ouyang Hu was originally a guard of a County City but fell into disgrace after killing a talented individual and ended up in Azure Peak Mountain. Since then, he became brutal and has killed countless people, ranking high on the bounty list around Liang City, Peng Cheng, and Pei County.
...
Inside the Stronghold, Ouyang Hu sat high on a tiger-skin seat with a face full of flesh. In his right hand, he held a blue Tiger Head Blade, while his left arm wrapped around the voluptuous waist of a stunning woman. He laughed heartily and said, "Living carefree in the mountains, that Governor from Yun County probably never expected me, Ouyang Hu, to live so happily!"
Below him, a man with a sharp nose and monkey-like features chuckled and said, "Big Brother, how do you find this beauty from Linzi? It is said that Linzi has many beauties; this woman's charm is truly remarkable!"
Ouyang Hu laughed loudly: "What’s wrong? Do you want to taste the charm of women too, Monkey San? Then she is yours! A real man stands between heaven and earth; how could he lack women?"
As he spoke, Ouyang Hu gently pushed with one hand, and the woman in his arms let out a surprised cry as she was swept off the high platform by a strong gust of wind and landed safely in Monkey San's embrace. Instantly, Monkey San had long been drooling over this woman and began to take liberties without hesitation.
At that moment, the Stronghold's main gate burst open, and a young boy carrying a Wooden Blade rushed in, shouting loudly: "Chief! Bad news! Bad news!"
Ouyang Hu raised his gaze and said: "What are you afraid of? Speak clearly about what happened!"
The boy gasped for breath and said: "Chief, a group of officials dressed as Subordinates has come down from the mountain under the banner of the Liangcheng City Guard Office. They are very arrogant and reportedly here for your head! The one leading them is none other than Liang City's new City Lieutenant!"
"City Lieutenant?"
Ouyang Hu couldn't help but laugh heartily. He suddenly stood up and pointed southward: "Look at that flagpole; whose head is that! Hahaha! The Liangcheng City Lieutenant has already died under my Tiger Head Blade. Another one who isn't afraid of death has come! Today, I will make this new City Lieutenant hang himself just like before!"
The crowd of small thieves laughed heartily: "The Chief is mighty! The Chief is wise!"
Ouyang Hu brandished his Tiger Head Blade and shouted: "Boys! Grab your Weapons! Follow me to meet Liang City's new City Lieutenant! Archers prepare to ambush in the forest first; let’s take care of those troublesome Subordinates. After we eliminate all the soldiers from the City Guard Office, I want to see what Liang City can do to me, Ouyang Hu!"
Suddenly, the group of Bandits cheered with joy, brandishing their Weapons as they rushed down the mountain, while Monkey San hesitated to follow. Holding onto a beauty, he could only take a short bow and follow under Ouyang Hu's fierce gaze.
...
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Yang and his party made a grand entrance, even being seen off by the townsfolk for three miles. At this moment, Ye Yang was quite renowned in Liang City; everyone knew that the young man from the Ye Family had undergone a transformation after his journey through the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, having killed an Eighth-Stage Beast. His achievements far surpassed those of the National Talent, Peng Cheng, making him a young Hero who eliminated threats for the people.
Yan Yao held up the moonlight and looked around with her beautiful eyes, saying, "Zi Yu, why do I feel like this place is fraught with danger? This... Azure Peak Mountain is indeed not a good place..."
Ye Yang nodded.
Wang Lie said, "Azure Peak Mountain is hidden away and has rugged paths, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. It has long been a gathering place for Bandits. Over the centuries, many strong individuals have occupied its heights, and countless merchants have lost their lives here. Many young women have lost their purity in this place, and many wives have lost their honor..."
"Enough, stop right there!"
Ye Yang shot Wang Lie a fierce glare and said, "There are girls here; some things shouldn't be said."
Wang Lie laughed heartily and replied, "Yes, my lord!"
At that moment, a Subordinate rushed over to report, "My lord, just three miles ahead is Tiger Head Stronghold. However, I observed closely and it seems the stronghold is empty; it appears this group of Bandits has already surged out."
Wang Lie asked, "Where will they go?"
Ye Yang smiled slightly and said, "Most likely to ambush us."
"What should we do?" Wang Lie asked in alarm.
Ye Yang's gaze was calm as he replied lightly, "Whatever comes at us, we will kill it. Why overthink it?"
"Here, my lord!" Wang Lie looked at Ye Yang with increasing respect, secretly lamenting that over the years he had served various City Lieutenants, each only interested in the allure of silver and beautiful women. Yet this Ye Yang was different, like a young man eager to achieve something great.
...
A few moments later, Ye Yang suddenly raised his arm and shouted loudly, "Halt!"
Everyone was taken aback. Wang Lie asked, "My lord, what is it?"
"There's an ambush!"
Ye Yang smirked and leaped into the air, drawing his True Fire Sword with a clang. Gathering blazing True Qi, he shouted at the dense jungle, "Rodents, come out!"
"Swish swish swish!"
The True Fire Sword swung rapidly, countless sword energies piercing into the jungle. In the next moment, screams erupted as a group of lurking Bandits were caught off guard by Ye Yang!
"Damn it, there really is an ambush!" Wang Lie drew his Dagger.
Ye Yang landed gracefully, strikingly handsome. After a fierce assault, he had already killed at least ten Crossbowmen, but the enemy forces were not limited to just that!
Sure enough, from behind the foliage, a man charged forward wielding a blue Tiger Head Broadsword, shouting, "City Lieutenant, are you here to die?"
Ye Yang smiled slightly. "You must be Ouyang Hu?"
"Indeed I am, the one destined to take your life!"
Ouyang Hu laughed heartily, channeling his True Qi as blue Wind Attribute cyclones appeared around the Tiger Head Blade. His cultivation was impressive, clearly evident!
"Archer, kill them all!"
Ouyang Hu shouted loudly and decisively launched his attack. The long knife emitted a long blade light, striking directly at Ye Yang's neck.
"Hey!"
Ye Yang smiled slightly, and a sudden brilliance surged in his eyes. His entire aura reached a whole new level in an instant, an overwhelming momentum pressing down on everyone!
...
"What??!"
Ouyang Hu let out a low shout, and his body froze in mid-air, unable to move. Behind him, hundreds of archers and bandits were equally terrified, each feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cave, as if trapped in a nightmare.
"Pressure... it's Pressure!"
A little further away, Monkey San's eyes were filled with fear: "God, is this new City Lieutenant of Liang City a Earth Level Seven powerhouse?"
